A new paper available online now on “Increasing the credibility of expert-based models with preference surveys – mapping recreation in the riverine zone” written by Sven-Erik Rabe (ETH Zurich), Remo Gantenbein (whose MSc thesis this is based on), myself, and Adrienne Grêt-Regamey (ETH).
In the paper we develop a spatially explicit model for the recreation usability of the riverine zone, which combines an expert-based modeling process using an analytic hierarchy process (AHP) with user preferences derived from an online survey.
The paper will be published in the aptly named journal ‘Ecosystem Services’.
