“…The ADK approach is appropriate for applications modelled at a very detailed scale, such as robot foraging problems [5], [11]. In the domain of mineral resources exploitation, it is also appropriate for applications such as the exploitation of quartz at the scale of Rantabe in Madagascar [2] or artisanal and small-scale gold mining at the Alga site in Burkina Faso [3] (let Asgma). At a larger application scale (cf.…”

International audienceIn the spatial-integrated socioeconomic model field, a multi-agent approach is appropriate for supporting applications modelled at a detailed territory scale, but it is less used than other approaches when supporting applications modelled at a larger scale. One possibility would be to have a more generic platform that is capable of supporting both levels. Moreover, at the spatial level, integration of dynamic spatial data and, in our case, spatial shape data should be reinforced so that, at any moment during a simulation, a user should be capable of exporting the temporal evolution of the spatial state as a (new) shape map, exploitable in a GIS tool. This paper aims to contribute to the improvement of these two aspects. We began the study with ADK, an existing agent platform, ending up with a new platform known as ISatEM. Our thematic interest is the field of mineral resources exploitatio

“…China is characterized by a traditional Confucian culture, and kinship has been integrated into all aspects of the lives of the Chinese, especially in rural areas. The role of socioeconomic conditions in farmer decision-making has drawn more attention and a growing body of literature on such issues has been published [32][33].…”

Farmers are the direct users of agricultural land and their decision-making affects the agricultural landscape pattern. The influencing factors for farmer land use decision-making were studied, and a method for elucidating the micro-mechanism of the multi-agent and cellular automata models was proposed. Mengcha village is located in Mizhi County of Shaanxi Province in northwest China. The neighborhoods in the village, as well as the kinship networks and socioeconomic conditions of the farmers, were chosen for the calculation of neighborhood similarity (NBSLY), kinship similarity (KSSLY), and socioeconomic similarity (SESLY). At the parcel level, planted crops figure importantly in farmer decision-making and are expressed by parcel similarity (PCSLY). On the basis of the similarity values and two-dimensional tables of NBSLY-PCSLY, KSSLY-PCSLY, and SESLY-PCSLY, (1) NBSLY was weakly correlated with farmer decision-making (PCSLY), which did not diminish with distance between neighboring buildings in the village. (2) For KSSLY, brotherhood accounted for a considerable proportion of decision-making with 68.92% of brotherhoods having similar or pre-similar decision-making. KSSLY imposed considerable influence on farmer decision-making. (3) Farmer decision-making was correlated with SESLY. With increasing SESLY, PCSLY showed an increasing then decreasing tendency. The 2007 results were verified using 2008 data, and the validation yielded identical results for these years. Farmer decision-making is the result of interaction among many factors, and the comprehensive exploration of this issue necessitates support by detailed micro-data.
