Abstract

We developed an individual-based model (IBM) simulation program considering relationships between wild animals and spatial data. The IBMs have characteristics to simulate the wild animal behaviors based on the spatial preference observed using wild animal auto tracking system. The IBMs have an ability to accurately predict wild animal´s behavior using the spatial data. Previously to river improvement works, an IBM can be used for assessing the changes of wild animal behaviors after human impacts.
