A novel mediating participatory modelling: the self-design process to accompany collective decision making

Multi-criteria decision analysis in natural resource management: A critical review of methods and new modelling paradigms

“…A review of its applications to ecosystem management is reported by Bousquet and Le Page (2004). An integrated use of CORMAS, Geographic Information Systems (GIS), and participatory modelling was developed for the Senegal River Valley and was reported by Aquino et al (2002) as a successful decision aid and local empowerment tool for dealing with resource management issues such as sustainable land-use management. CORMAS has also been the platform used by Purnomo et al (2005) to develop and analyse a multi-agent simulation model of a communitymanaged forest.…”

Participatory development of a Bayesian network model for catchment‐based water resource management

“…It is made up of two main phases, the Problem Formulation phase and the Risk Analysis and Characterization phase. Note that there are similar approaches such as the “companion modeling” of d'Aquino et al [2002] and Barreteau [2003] and the participatory modeling and planning approaches of Castelletti and Soncini‐Sessa [2006, 2007a], which share important features such as involvement of field actors as well as scientists, and iterative cycles for adaptive management.…”

“…A detailed background to this technique is also described by Wang et al [2009]. This phase is iterative; as understanding of the catchment improves during analysis and characterization of risks, the model can be improved [see d'Aquino et al , 2002; Jakeman et al , 2006]. This paper describes the first iteration of this process only.…”

“… Pollino et al [2007] and Martín de Santa Olalla et al [2007] conducted stakeholder improvement and validation of expert‐designed models. Among literature on other forms of participatory modeling for developing country contexts, Gurung et al [2006] on water management in Bhutan, and d'Aquino et al [2002] on land use management in Senegal, illustrate detailed, multistaged approaches to companion modeling and multiagent systems modeling, respectively. In terms of Lund and Palmer 's [1997] typology of model development for use specifically in water resources conflict resolution, our research approach, and model, is most consistent with “shared vision modeling,” in which a diverse set of stakeholders cooperate in development of a shared model.…”

Exploring management strategies for community-based forests using multi-agent systems: A case study in Palawan, Philippines

“…A number of applications of MAS have been reported in the literature, such as land use change (Castella et al, 2005Boissau and Castella, 2003;D'Aquino et al, 2003), irrigation and water management (Gurung et al, 2006;Barreteau et al, 2004a,b;Becu et al, 2003;Daré and Barreteau, 2003;Feuillette et al, 2003), negotiation (Barreteau, 2003;Barreteau et al, 2003a,b), forest management (Purnomo and Vanclay, 2003), and participatory natural resource management (Becu et al, 2003;Becu et al, 2008;D'Aquino et al, 2002;Bousquet et al, 2001;Rouchier et al, 2000;Antona et al, 1998).…”
