Global patterns of land use decision-making

This dataverse present a collection of global land use decision-making patterns spatial distributions. The collection consists of probabilities for two different objectives behind land use change (survival and livelihood, and economic objectives), probability maps for 6 decision-making types that can be found in land-use literature, a probability map for land use diversification, a categorical map combining all decision-making types, and 6 similarity maps (identifying the areas with high or low similarity for each decision-making type). All files are in the geotiff format and can be opened in standard GIS software. Legend files for ArcGIS and QGIS are provided as well, for the categorical map.
