QuantiAmenity - Co-benefit valuation of urban and peri-urban nature for planning water management

<p dir="ltr">Computation of recreational value of NBS in populated areas. The tool creates a map that indicates for each location what the amenity value of implementing an NBS in that location would be. </p><p dir="ltr">Values can be computed for any location covered by the input data rasters that cover the entire Europe.</p><p dir="ltr">The input datasets are provided in "./data" alongside with their particular license terms.</p><p dir="ltr">Input parameters to the model:</p><ul><li>size of the NBS in ha</li><li>centre coordinate for the map (latitude, longtitude in WGS84)</li><li>map extent, defined as distance from the centre coordinate in m</li><li>choice of:<br> - whether amenity values should be exported in local currency (accounting for purchase power differences, i.e. values will e.g. be lower in Easter Europe than in Germany), or in international USD<br> - whether log values should be exported. </li></ul><p dir="ltr">To execute, run "main". </p><p dir="ltr">The result of the calculation is nbs_value_adjusted in EURO / year. The function takes two user inputs - area of the anticipated NBS and location (the user could e.g. click on a map location)</p>
