KelenTüdösPlots

KelenTüdösPlots is a computational method and software library for automated parceling and plot-generation, frequently used in geographic information systems (GIS), urban design, and land-management workflows. It combines rule-based constraints with stochastic tessellation to create plot layouts that respect topography, access routes, and zoning requirements while producing varied, human-scaled parcel geometries.

The approach integrates multiple inputs—digital elevation models, road and infrastructure layers, land-use constraints, and developer-defined rules—to guide iterative subdivision of land at configurable scales. Core features include adaptive cell sizing, orientation control to align parcels with environmental gradients, buffer and setback enforcement, and optional optimization for utility access or minimum frontage. Outputs are standard vector formats compatible with common GIS and CAD software.

KelenTüdösPlots is implemented in multiple language bindings and is often distributed under permissive open-source licenses, enabling integration into planning pipelines and web mapping clients. It has been applied in scenario planning, rapid feasibility studies for real-estate projects, and ecological modeling where parcel configuration affects habitat fragmentation.

Critiques note that autogenerated plots can homogenize design if rules are overly prescriptive and that local legal or cultural factors may require manual adjustment. Consequently, practitioners typically use KelenTüdösPlots as an exploratory tool to accelerate early-stage planning rather than as a final design authority. Ongoing development focuses on enhanced participatory features, improved performance on large datasets, and tighter interoperability with cadastral systems.
