Selecting among five common modelling approaches for integrated environmental assessment and management (2013, background): “These models are fitted to their intended audience: some are ‘research’ models, accessible to the model builder and other researchers in order to explore their own assumptions; while others are stakeholder models that are generally developed with a large non-technical audience in mind, with the inte”
Agent-based social simulation: a method for assessing the impact of seasonal climate forecast applications among smallholder farmers (2005, background): “In exploratory models, dynamic behaviour is emphasised rather than equilibrium, which enables complex systems to be opened up so that rather than predicting outcomes, counterintuitive behaviour can explored (Barreteau et al., 2001).”
Stakeholder Categorisation in Participatory Integrated Assessment Processes (2002, methodology): “As in [21], the game is used at this stage for model validation and stakeholder acclimatization purposes, i.”
Tools and methods in participatory modeling: Selecting the right tool for the job (2018, background): “For example, a companion ABM based on role-playing games (see Barreteau et al., 2001) can increase stakeholder involvement in the PM process and may generate much di ﬀ erent results than computational ABM using only computer simulations and modelers ’ assumptions.”
Serious games (2016, background): “Njoobaari Ilnoowo (Barreteau, Bousquet, and Attonaty 2001), for instance, is a game representing the issue of viability of irrigation systems in Northern Senegal as an outcome of multiple constraints on farmers with diverse cropping objectives.”
Participatory Simulation of Land-Use Changes in the Northern Mountains of Vietnam: the Combined Use of an Agent-Based Model, a Role-Playing Game, and a Geographic Information System (2005, background): “Supporting collective decision-making and negotiation Once the black box of the model has been opened thanks to the role-playing sessions, i.e., the rules have been made explicit to all participants, it can be used to support collective action (Barreteau et al. 2001).”
Agent-based land-use models: a review of applications (2007, methodology): “In using the SHADOC model in Senegal, 7 for example, players were assigned roles which include their social status, their function in the 8 system (e.g. water course regulator, pumping station manager, credit allocation manager), 9 their goals, and various other rules (Barreteau et al., 2001).”
