How Indeterminism Shapes Ecologists’ Contributions to Managing Socio-Ecological Systems
To make a difference in policy making about socio-ecological systems, ecologists must grasp when decision makers are amenable to acting on ecological expertise and when they are not. To enable them to do so we present a matrix for classifying a socio-ecological system by the extent of what we don’t know about its natural components and the social interactions that affects them. We use four exam...
متن کاملFrom actors to agents in socio-ecological systems models.
The ecosystem service concept has emphasized the role of people within socio-ecological systems (SESs). In this paper, we review and discuss alternative ways of representing people, their behaviour and decision-making processes in SES models using an agent-based modelling (ABM) approach. We also explore how ABM can be empirically grounded using information from social survey. The capacity for A...
متن کاملCluster Analysis to Understand Socio-ecological Systems: a Guideline
In coupled human-environment systems where well established and proven general theories are often lacking cluster analysis provides the possibility to discover regularities – a first step in empirically based theory building. The aim of this report is to share the experiences and knowledge on cluster analysis we gained in several applications in this realm helping to avoid typical problems and ...
متن کاملManaging Socio-technical Interactions in Healthcare Systems
We put forward an architectural framework that promotes the externalisation of the social dimension that arises in software-intensive systems which, like in healthcare, exhibit interactions between humans (social components) and technical components (devices, computer-based systems, and so on) that are critical for the domain in which they operate. Our framework is based on a new class of archi...
متن کاملManaging Rangeland as a Complex System: How Government Interventions Decouple Social Systems from Ecological Systems
The complexity of natural resource management is increasingly recognized and requires adaptive governance at multiple levels. It is particularly significant to explore the impacts of government interventions on the management practices of local communities and on target social-ecological systems. The Inner Mongolian rangeland was traditionally managed by indigenous people using their own instit...
