FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating a user interface screen configuration provided to a user according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG.

Referring to FIGS. 1, 2 and 4, an embodiment of the present invention is an input data conversion method between Marxan, a coastal marine space decision support program, and Marxan with Zones, an upgrade version of Marxan, (S10), a variable information setting step (S30), and an input file automatic conversion step (S40).

In the data path designation step S10, the first input file created so that the data input unit 10 can recognize Marxan from the user and the first input file can be recognized by Marxan with Zones, A process of receiving a storage path of a second input file, which is converted and generated according to the process according to FIG. As shown in FIG. 4, which illustrates an exemplary user interface screen configuration provided to a user, a user is created from a first input file according to a process according to an embodiment of the present invention through a Select your project directory Identify or designate a subdirectory where the second input file with a data structure recognizable by Marxan with Zones is stored and specify a subdirectory that is the location of the first input file through the second item (Select your shapefile) do. If the subdirectory does not exist, the directory can be automatically created. If the directory structure is properly configured, the directory creation process may be omitted.

For example, a unique identifier of a planning unit is set from a user through a user interface screen shown in FIG. 4, a field specification other than the unique identifier is visually displayed to a user, And setting the cost information corresponding to the protection characteristic information from the user may be performed. That is, the user can set the unique identifier of the planning unit through the item No. 3 (Select PUID) in FIG. 4. In this process, the field specification other than the unique identifier can be visually displayed to the user. In addition, the user sets conservation features corresponding to the unique identifier through the 4th item (Select conservation features), and sets the cost information corresponding to the protection characteristic information through the item 5 (Select costs) have. Although not shown in the drawing, the exemplary apparatus for performing the method according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention may further include a conversion interface unit for performing such a process.

In the variable information setting step S30, the variable information setting unit 30 sets the variable information of the second input file from the user and generates a variable file having information on the variables to be input to the Marxan with Zones model .

For example, the variable information of the second input file may include at least the name of the zone type required by Marxan with Zones, the type of zone, and the cost.

For example, referring to FIG. 3 illustrating an exemplary configuration of the variable information setting step S30, the variable information setting step S30 includes a variable name setting step S32 and a weight setting step S34 .

In the variable name setting step S32, a process is performed in which the variable name setting unit 32 sets the number and the name of the zone type from the user. The variable name setting unit 32 may be configured to provide a function of allowing the user to arbitrarily determine and input the number and the name of the zone type. For example, ) Can be used to set the number and name of zone types.

In the weight setting step S34, the weight setting unit 34 sets weights according to the number of zone types set in the variable name setting step S32 from the user, and generates a variable file that can be recognized by Marxan with Zones The process of storing is performed.

For example, the interface for setting the weights can be flexibly changed according to the number of zone types, the number of costs, and the number of species to be protected. In the weight input portion, the default value is provided, And output it.

For example, the weight setting item set by the user in the weight setting step S34 may be configured to include at least a cost by zone type, a protection species protection target by zone type, and a total protection target contribution ratio by zone type. In this regard, the user sets the cost for each zone type through the 7th item (Zone cost) in FIG. 5, sets the protection target for each zone type through the 8th item (Zone target) ) Can be used to set the total protection target contribution ratio for each zone type.

For example, in the weight setting step S34, the weight setting unit 34 may be configured to provide a default value for the weight and to generate and store a variable file corresponding to the default value if the user does not modify the default value .

In the input file automatic conversion step S40, the automatic conversion unit 40 automatically converts the first input file into the second input file according to the variables set through the variable information setting step S30 do.

In a computer-readable recording medium according to an embodiment of the present invention, a program for executing a method of converting input data between Marxan and Marxan with Zones according to an embodiment of the present invention is recorded in a computer.

 A computer-readable recording medium includes all kinds of recording apparatuses in which data that can be read by a computer system is stored. Examples of the recording medium include a ROM, a RAM, an optical disk, a magnetic tape, a floppy disk, a hard disk, a nonvolatile memory, and the like, but the present invention is not limited thereto. It is possible.

As described in detail above, according to the present invention, by automatically converting Marxan input data, which is a coastal marine space decision support program, into input data of a structure required by Marxan with Zones, an upgraded version of Marxan, Marxan and Marxan with Zones Marxan and Marxan with Zones, which supports the efficient and systematic execution of spatial decision making by organically linking the utilization.
