Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating an exemplary apparatus configuration in which a method of automatically generating input files of Marxan with Zones is performed from a shape file according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 5 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 5, an embodiment of the present invention automatically generates an input file of Marxan with Zones, a coastal marine spatial decision support program, from a shape file including spatial operation data A data path designation step S10, a shape file attribute table conversion step S20, a variable information setting step S30, and an automatic creation step S40.

In the data path designation step S10, the data input unit 10 acquires the geometry file (Shapefile) including the spatial operation data by the spatial operation process from the user and the geometry file And a storage path in which an input file having a data structure recognizable by Marxan with Zones is stored is designated. As shown in FIG. 5, which illustrates an exemplary user interface screen configuration provided to a user, a user is created from a shape file according to a process according to an embodiment of the present invention through a Select your project directory, A subdirectory in which the input file having the data structure recognizable by the Zones can be stored is identified or designated and a subdirectory which is the location of the shape file (shapefile) in which the spatial operation processing is completed through the item 2 (Select your shapefile) . 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.

When the data path designation step S10 is completed, the field names of the attribute table of the shape file are transferred to the conversion interface unit 20 and visually displayed to the user.

In the shape file attribute table conversion step S20, the conversion interface unit 20 selects the conversion target fields of the attribute table of the shape file from the user as a way of interacting with the user, and obtains the three- the attribute table of the shape file is changed and stored so as to satisfy the format required by Zones with Zones.

For example, the conversion interface unit 20 may include a field including a unique identifier setting of a planning unit, a field specification display other than a unique identifier, conservation features, and cost information Selection, modification of the three-dimensional structure of the data, and storage.

For example, a unique identifier is set as a field that allows the individual features of the plan unit zone file to be uniquely identified, and a plurality of fields other than the identifier can be selected to model multiple cost information supported by Marxan with Zones To be reflected to the user.

For example, as shown in FIG. 5, the graphical interface of such a function may be a graphical element such as a button or the like, such as an identifier setting, a field specification display, and a field selection, which are steps of functions implemented in the conversion interface unit 20 And may be implemented in such a manner that the user operates step by step while confirming important information such as a conversion process and a conversion target field.

For example, referring to FIG. 3 showing an exemplary configuration of the attribute table conversion step, in the attribute table conversion step, a unique identifier of a planning unit is set from a user, May be visually displayed to the user, the protection characteristic information corresponding to the unique identifier may be set by the user, and the cost information corresponding to the protection characteristic information may be set by the user. That is, the user can set a unique identifier of a planning unit through a Select PUID in FIG. 5, and in this process, a 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.

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

For example, the variable information of the input file may include information on the name, zone type, and cost of the zone type that is at least required in Marxan with Zones.

For example, referring to FIG. 4 showing 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 Lt; / RTI >

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 automatic generation step S40, the automatic generation unit 40 converts the shape file according to the changed attribute table and the variable file of the shape file, and automatically generates an input file having a data structure recognizable by Marxan with Zones Is performed.

A computer readable recording medium according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention records a program for executing a method of automatically generating an input file of Marxan with Zones from a shape file according to an embodiment of the present invention.

 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, the input file of Marxan with Zones, which is a coastal marine spatial decision support program, is automatically generated from a shape file including spatial operation data and provided to the user, There is an effect that a method of automatically generating an input file of Marxan with Zones is provided from a shape file that greatly improves the time and cost in the process of manually converting the data structure.
