Research
Land use models are based on applied research and help to demonstrate how structured approaches can improve land-use decision-making.
Collaborating on this research strengthens our ability to expand real‑world applications and build meaningful partnerships.
Featured Model: FN-LUVM
The First Nation – Land Use Voting Model (FN‑LUVM) is a community‑focused simulation tool that helps explore how members may respond to different land‑use options. Built from real community input, it supports informed conversations about planning, stewardship, and future development.
– Explore how different land‑use scenarios might be supported
– Reflect community values, knowledge, and priorities
– Visualize how opinions shift through learning and discussion
– Support transparent, community‑driven decision‑making
