Multi-Criteria Analysis Shell for Spatial Decision Support (MCAS-S) Data Packages

This collection contains the data used in the Multi-Criteria Analysis Shell for Spatial Decision Support (MCAS-S) software tool. From the Data menu, explore and download individual supplementary layers, or download the entire datapack. The Multi-Criteria Analysis Shell for Spatial Decision Support (MCAS-S) is a software tool developed by the Australian Bureau of Agricultural and Resource Economics and Sciences that enables multi-criteria analysis (MCA) using spatial data. It is a powerful, easy-to-use and flexible decision-support tool that promotes:

- framework for assessing options <br>

- common metric for classifying, ranking and weighting of the data <br>

- tools to compare, combine and explore spatial data <br>

- live-update of alternative scenarios and trade-offs. <br>
