the mouse from the start point to the end point. You may first want to zoom in on
the area of interest. Note that you can only draw straight lines.
 To remove a link, zoom in on it, right-click on it and select Delete from the context
menu that will pop up.
 To change the type of a link, zoom in on it, right-click on it and select Properties
from the context menu that will pop up. A window will open where you can select
the infrastructure type.
 Close the map window to save your changes as a new network change. You will be
asked to enter a name for the change and a file name where the map will be saved.
It‟s best to save this in a subfolder of the project file. Note that the system always
creates incremental network change maps, meaning only the nodes and links that
have been added, removed or changed are saved.
Importing a network
When data on infrastructure developments is available or can be prepared in a GIS (as
an ESRI shape file), you can import these directly in WISE. You can either import a
complete network that replaces the previous network in a simulation run, or you can
import a network that only indicates which network elements should be added or
removed. In the latter case, the network needs to have a property (column) called
“DeltaType” (case insensitive) with value 1 for all elements that should be deleted. If
the property is missing, all elements in the file will be added to the network.
 Go to Main window → Driver → Policy measures → Infrastructure.
 Select type of infrastructure network that you want to import from the Network list.
 Click the „Import network change‟ button. A window will open where you can enter
the information required to import a network.
 Click on the browse button inside the File box to open the file to import.
 Select the Incremental check box if the network to import only contains the
elements to be added or removed. Clear the check box if the network should
replace the existing network at the specified simulation time.
 Click the OK button when you have entered all information. The network change
will be added to the in the Main window.
3.3 Visualising indicators
The integrated model in WISE contains several components that calculate policyrelevant indicators. In order to calculate these, the model also calculates various other
results, which are not useful for scenario-analysis, but can be used by modellers to
calibrate or validate the models. The Indicators tab in the Main window provides
organised access to all policy-relevant output calculated by the integrated model.
Indicators are organised in four groups in the user interface:
 Social indicators
 Economic indicators
 Environmental indicators
 Land use indicators
Some of these indicators describe a state or a condition at the current simulation time
(e.g. the maps under the Environmental indicators section and the age-cohort figure).
Other indicators show a change over time. Note that these will be empty when you first
open the simulation, or after you have reset the simulation, but are filled with data as
the simulation progresses and display the full picture at the end of a simulation. You
can visualise the social, economic, environmental and land use indicators at any point
in time during a simulation.
Social indicators
On the Population tab of the social indicators, you will find a population pyramid for the
current simulation time and the district selected in the „Population for district‟ list. You
can click the graph buttons to display a graph window that shows the evolution of the
