The Human Activities component enables the user to specify the
way in which humans inhabit, use and interact with the system under
consideration.
In particular, it enables the user to specify the receptors that
are assumed to be exposed to contaminated materials within the
system, and it enables the potential uses of the landscape to be
defined. For example, the occupancy of different landscape
features, and the way in which specific features are used by
humans, can be assigned. The user can also add related information,
such as the yield of crops for particular features, or the stocking
density.
The component also provides the facilities to define the
consequences of events associated with human activities. For
example, the user can specify the amount of soil excavated and
transferred to a different location in the system when a road is
built.
