Linking areas

Intro

NOTE! The area linking functionality has been disabled in the GUI for now due to irregularities in the output. It may still be utilized by running the CLI tool independently, however this is not advised.

The tool provides the possibility to link the cases of smaller areas (MPAs) to the activity/pressure contributions of larger areas (subbasins). Although this page calls the smaller areas MPAs and the larger subbasins, the feature should be applicable for any areas that follow these conditions:

  • MPAs: Polygon layer. Should have data on the measures implemented.
  • Subbasins: Polygon layer. The IDs of the polygons should correspond to the area IDs already in the input data.

To activate this feature, set the link_mpas_to_subbasins option to true.

MPA layer

Requires the following attributes:

  • ID: unique identifier field
