The PALM 2.0 online platform is the implementation of the model of PALM (intercommunal potential analysis of the resource land for sustainable land management) for an optimal allocation and dimensioning of existing building zone reserves, which takes the environmental, economic and social services of the resource land into account. The online platform PALM 2.0 is a practical tool, which allows you to calculate and display an optimized allocation of building zone for a pre-defined area. The analysis is done based on individual choices of criteria and their weighting as well as adaptable conditions (e.g. construction zone sizing) and exclusion criteria.
