ENVISION is a GIS- based tool for developing alternative-futues analysis. It is the successor to Evoland.
ENVISION combines a spatially-explicit polygon-based representation of a landscape, a set of application-define policies (decision rules) defining alternative scenario strategies, landscape change models, and models of ecological, social and economic services to predict land use change and provide planners with information about resulting landscape productions
ENVISION is built on an open, extensible architecture that can be adapted to a variety of location and applications.
