Abstract
In scenario studies of biodiversity and ecosystem services, the population distribution is one of the key driving forces. In this study, we developed a coupling method for narrative scenarios and spatially explicit residential and working population designs for all of Japan as a common dataset for ecosystem scenario analysis implemented by 5-year project entitled “Predicting and Assessing Natural Capital and Ecosystem Services (PANCES)”. For more details, please refer to https://rdcu.be/cv5Gk I introduced our gravity-based population allocation model. And I and Dr. Hori demonstrated Scenario simulation of grid population by gravity model. We discussed the application of the simulation and future collaboration with all participants. Thank you for joining our seminar!
