Overview

About

Maintained by José Salgado-RojasFirst published 2026-04-282 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Provides a modular framework for exact multi-objective spatial planning using mixed-integer programming. The package supports the definition of planning problems through planning units, features, management actions, action effects, spatial relations, targets, constraints, and objective functions. It enables the optimisation of spatial planning portfolios under considerations such as boundary structure, connectivity, and fragmentation. Supported multi-objective methods include weighted-sum aggregation, epsilon-constraint, and the augmented epsilon-constraint method. Problems can be solved with several commercial and open-source optimisation solvers. Optional solver backends include the 'gurobi' R package, which is distributed with the Gurobi Optimizer installation https://docs.gurobi.com/projects/optimizer/en/13.0/reference/r/setup.html, and the 'rcbc' R package, available from GitHub at https://github.com/dirkschumacher/rcbc. For background on multi-objective optimisation methods, see Halffmann et al. (2022) doi:10.1002/mcda.1780; for the augmented epsilon-constraint method, see Mavrotas (2009) doi:10.1016/j.amc.2009.03.037.

Install

R (CRAN)pak (dev)Ubuntu (r2u)openSUSE (OBS)

install.packages("multiscape", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("josesalgr/multiscape")

Development version from josesalgr/multiscape. Installs pak first if it is not already available.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-multiscape

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-multiscape

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed).
