multiscape: Multi-Objective Spatial Planning
Provides a modular framework for exact multi-objective spatial
planning using mixed-integer programming. The package supports the
definition of planning problems through planning units, features,
management actions, action effects, spatial relations, targets,
constraints, and objective functions. It enables the optimisation of
spatial planning portfolios under considerations such as boundary
structure, connectivity, and fragmentation. Supported multi-objective
methods include weighted-sum aggregation, epsilon-constraint, and the
augmented epsilon-constraint method. Problems can be solved with several
commercial and open-source optimisation solvers. Optional solver backends
include the 'gurobi' R package, which is distributed with the Gurobi Optimizer
installation <https://docs.gurobi.com/projects/optimizer/en/13.0/reference/r/setup.html>,
and the 'rcbc' R package, available from GitHub at
<https://github.com/dirkschumacher/rcbc>. For background on multi-objective
optimisation methods, see Halffmann et al.
(2022) <doi:10.1002/mcda.1780>; for the augmented epsilon-constraint method,
see Mavrotas (2009) <doi:10.1016/j.amc.2009.03.037>.
