LUST (Land Use Simulation Tool)

LUST (Land Use Simulation Tool) is a computer program designed to model and analyze how land areas might change over time. It helps planners and decision-makers understand the potential impact of different development options, conservation efforts, or policies. By considering factors like population growth, infrastructure, and environmental features, LUST predicts future land use patterns, enabling more informed planning decisions. This tool supports sustainable development by visualizing potential changes and helping manage land resources effectively.
