Step 1: Scenario Information
The first step focuses on the Scenario Information. A Scenario refers to an overall analysis done in an area of interest (AOI). Different criteria and priorities for spatial decision-making and comparison will be considered for each scenario.
- Scenario name: A name for the analysis to be performed.
- Scenario description: A detailed description of the analysis.
- Extent: The area of interest for this analysis. This can be calculated from the current canvas view extent, a layer, or an extent drawn by the user.
Figure 1 shows an example of Step 1
- Once the information has been provided, click Step 2.
If the QGIS canvas CRS is not set to WGS84 (EPSG: 4326), the zoom to the pilot area will not happen.

Pilot area
The pilot study area covers Bushbuck Ridge, South Africa. When a user's study area is outside of this region, some of the activities and Priority-weighted layers will be disabled. This is because those datasets are specific to the Bushbuck Ridge study area and are of no use for other AOIs. It's important for a user to take this into account, as step 2 and step 3 will be affected by this.
If the selected extent is outside of this region, the Bushbuck Ridge activities will be disabled.
The same goes for the Priority Weighted layers.
If a user is outside the Bushbuck Ridge region, they will need to create custom activities and/or PWLs. An explanation of these follows in the other sections.
