In the Xishuangbanna （西双版纳） district （Yunnan （云南） Province）, rubber plantations replace tropical rainforests covering already an area of about 10% of the study area （2007）. There, land-use allocation is mostly driven by economic considerations. Thus, local planning authorities need decision support for land-use planning issues, which integrate socio-economic and ecological aspects. Within the NabanFrame, an agro-economic, ecological and social model was applied, which, altogether, interacted with a land allocation model via defined interfaces. Effects on the water cycle, ecological conditions as well as socio-economic should be considered by integrating the spatially distributed rainfali-runoff and water balance model AKWA-M in the model setup.展开更多
