MESUE
What is it?

MESUE is a QGIS plugin designed to assess the sustainability of the urban environment. It uses criteria from the built environment, biophysical, urban mobility and socio-spatial dynamics, based on the SSAM (Spatial Sustainability Assessment Model) plugin. Developed by LlactaLAB Sustainable Cities of the University of Cuenca, MESUE responds to the need to understand urban form and its sustainability. It is shared to allow the measurement and analysis of sustainability indicators in urban environments, facilitating the planning and improvement of public policies.

What problems does it solve?

MESUE addresses the need to comprehensively evaluate urban sustainability, providing a tool that integrates various indicators to analyze and improve urban planning and public policies.

How does the tool work?

Integrates with QGIS for spatial data handling. Utilizes urban sustainability indicators for comprehensive analysis. Supports geolocalization for precise environmental assessments. Facilitates data visualization for better understanding of urban dynamics. Open-source tool, accessible to researchers and urban planners.

Open standards

Built with Python, ensures extensive compatibility and flexibility. Integrates JavaScript for dynamic web functionalities, enhancing user interaction. Utilizes HTML and CSS in interface design, ensuring a consistent visual experience. Compatible with QGIS 3.10.2 or higher, facilitates interoperability with geospatial systems. Adopts the GNU General Public License V3.0, promoting open-source distribution and collaboration.
