> use negotiations with spatial land use models for sustainable and 
> acceptable land use solutions”. Within this project the PhD-candidate 
> is responsible for a better integration of spatially explicit land use 
> models with multi-agent models. Such models will be used to simulate 
> and visualize the combined effects of land use drivers and assess the 
> effects of multi-stakeholder decisions and negotiations in a 
> structured and reproducible way.
