“…One intended effect of the project was that to help with solving the conflict situation between the respective actors (function 8). Scenario and indicator development was another function identified in the studies (function 3, N = 11), with five times being the explicit main goal (e.g., Gaddis et al 2010;Franzén et al 2011;Molina et al 2011;Mazzorana et al 2012). Decision makers and stakeholders were asked 10 times to use the model itself or the models' results for adapting their decisions (function 6).…”

“…Moreover, there are examples of projects that do not stand for a specific tradition (Smajgl 2010;de Mey et al 2011). Interestingly, among those articles explicitly citing functional-dynamic process issues, none follows the ComMod approach but each comes from a different modeling community (Smajgl 2010;deReynier, Levin, and Shoji 2010;de Mey et al 2011;Franzén et al 2011;Molina et al 2011;Salerno et al 2010;Squires and Renn 2011;Vayssieres et al 2011) or addresses ''mediated modeling'' (Vayssieres et al 2011).…”

A functional-dynamic reflection on participatory processes in modeling projects

The participation of nonscientists in modeling projects/studies is increasingly employed to fulfill different functions. However, it is not well investigated if and how explicitly these functions and the dynamics of a participatory process are reflected by modeling projects in particular. In this review study, I explore participatory modeling projects from a functional-dynamic process perspective. The main differences among projects relate to the functions of participation-most often, more than one per project can be identified, along with the degree of explicit reflection (i.e., awareness and anticipation) on the dynamic process perspective. Moreover, two main approaches are revealed: participatory modeling covering diverse approaches and companion modeling. It becomes apparent that the degree of reflection on the participatory process itself is not always explicit and perfectly visible in the descriptions of the modeling projects. Thus, the use of common protocols or templates is discussed to facilitate project planning, as well as the publication of project results. A generic template may help, not in providing details of a project or model development, but in explicitly reflecting on the participatory process. It can serve to systematize the particular project's approach to stakeholder collaboration, and thus quality management.

“…Information available ranges from one six-hour workshop (Cain et al, 2003) to three workshops (Henriksen et al, 2007), and to four 1-to 2-day meetings for the basic conceptualization of the BN (Lynam, Drewry, Higham, & Mitchell, 2010) (Table 2). The most common duration (from the first to the last workshop) of a participatory process was from one (Molina et al, 2011) to one and a half years (Henriksen et al, 2007). In a feasibility study, Lerner, Kumar, Holzkämper, Surridge, and Harris (2011) estimated the manpower resource required for building an integrated catchment management model in a participatory manner.…”

To support sustainable environmental management, uncertain knowledge about complex human-environment-systems from both inside and outside of academia needs to be integrated. Bayesian Network (BN) modeling is a promising method to achieve this, in particular if done in a participatory manner. Based on a review of 30 cases of participatory BN modeling of environmental problem fields, and of three guidelines, we summarize recommendations for BN modeling with stakeholder involvement. In addition, strengths and limitations of BNs are synthesized. We found that BNs were successfully applied for knowledge integration and identification of sustainable management strategies within participatory processes. Due to many favorable characteristics, BNs have the potential to become a core method of transdisciplinary knowledge integration in environmental management.

“…Moreover, institutional and governance requirements in the integrated management of water resources (IWRM) aggravate this situation [2]. The Water Framework Directive (WFD; Directive 2000/60/EC) and the Groundwater Directive (Directive2006/118/EC) advocate achieving "good ecological status" for water resources, achieving a balance between abstraction and recharge that will ensure the survival of aquatic ecosystems and setting deadlines in their planning cycles until 2027 [3]. To face these problems, different practices of conjoint use of surface water and…”

Droughts and climate change in regions with profitable irrigated agriculture will impact groundwater resources with associated direct and indirect impacts. In the integrated water resource management (IWRM), managed aquifer recharge (MAR) offers efficient solutions to protect, conserve, and ensure survival of aquifers and associated ecosystems, as the Water Framework Directive requires. The purpose of this paper is to analyse the socio-economic feasibility of the MAR system in the overexploited Boquerón aquifer in Hellín (Albacete, Spain) under climate change and varying irrigation demand conditions. To assess, in monetary terms, the profitability of the MAR system, a cost-benefit analysis (CBA) has been carried out. The results for the period 2020-2050 showed that the most favourable situations would be scenarios involving artificial recharge, in which future irrigation demand remains at the present level or falls below 10% of the current irrigation surface, as these scenarios generated an internal rate of return of between 53% and 57%. Additionally, the regeneration of the habitat will take between 5 and 9 years. Thus, the IWRM with artificial recharge will guarantee the sustainability of irrigation of the agricultural lands of Hellín and will achieve water balance even in severe climate change conditions.
