Topics
Applications of ABM in the context of socio-ecological transitions
Main question:
- Which socio-ecological transitions have been studied with ABM?
Related questions:
- For which types of socio-ecological transitions is ABM suitable?
- What were the advantages and drawbacks?
Operationalisation and quantification of socio-ecological transitions in the context of ABM
Main question:
- How can agent rules, their interaction and relationship with the environment be operationalised and empirically quantified to simulate transitions of socio-ecological systems?
Related questions:
- Which agents and social structures should be considered?
- How can the interactions among agents, social structure and the environment be operationalised?
- How can the interactions among agents, social structure and the environment be quantified, i.e. which methods and concepts from which disciplines can be used for doing so?
- Do specific application fields require specific operationalisation and quantification procedures?
- To which extent can the operationalisation and quantification procedures be generalised?
Description
This workshop has two aims: First, to provide a typology of issues in socio-ecological transitions which have been empirically simulated with ABM. Second, to discuss methodologies for an operationalisation and quantification of (i) agent rules; and (ii) interactions among agents on the one hand and between agents and the environment on the other hand, each in the context of socio-ecological transitions. The workshop will consist of three parts: A general introduction framing the issue, a presentation of case studies related to transitions of socio-ecological systems by the workshop participants, and a discussion of the below-mentioned questions.
As it is intended to work with a wiki-platform, participants are kindly invited to bring along their laptops.
