General
HABITAT is spatial analysis tool to support the development of management plans. The tool is especially designed for ecological assessment to analyse the availability and quality of habitats for individual or groups of species, but it is also usefull for other spatial analysis where grid operations are needed like flood risk maps or damages to agriculture or urban areas in case of floods and droughts. HABITAT is developed by WL Delft Hydraulics and Ministry of Transport, Public works and Water management
. HABITATs current developer is Deltares. HABITAT has been built around PCRaster, a software package responsible for making the map-calculations and incorporated in the user interface of DelftShell
Sections
The Ecological and Damage toolbox include factsheets on effect relations for ecological impact and damage assessment. Recent version of HABITAT can be obtained at Downloads, as well as articles and project descriptions. Tutorials, demos and user manual can be found at the Manual section. For sharing your knowledge rules look at the HABITAT Community. If you have questions or problems see the Support section.
