Developing a Novel Exact Model of Zoning Optimization for Marine Spatial Planning
Résumé
Marine spatial planning (MSP) as an efficient planning tool simplifies decisions on the sustainable use of marine resources. Determining an optimal zone for one marine user, considering the other users' activities, represents one challenge in MSP. We propose modeling the problem as an Exact Multi-Objective Integer Linear Program. We developed the raster data model to maximize the interest of the zone dedicated to a single actor and to maximize its spatial compactness. We are studying two approaches for resolution: first, a weighted sum, and second, an improved augmented version of the ε-constraint method, AUGMECON2. We validate the model by performing experiments on artificially generated data.
