Towards thresholds of disaster management performance under demographic change: exploring functional relationships using agent-based modeling
Effective disaster management is a core feature for the protection of communities against natural disasters such as floods. Disaster management organizations (DMOs) are expected to contribute to ensuring this protection. However, what happens when their resources to cope with a flood are at stake or the intensity and frequency of the event exceeds their capacities? Many cities in the Free State...
متن کاملCustomising Agent Based Analysis Towards Analysis of Disaster Management Knowledge
In developed countries such as Australia, for recurring disasters (e.g. floods), there are dedicated document repositories of Disaster Management Plans (DISPLANs), and supporting doctrine and processes that are used to prepare organisations and communities for disasters. They are maintained on an ongoing cyclical basis and form a key information source for community education, engagement and aw...
متن کاملCommunity-Based disaster risk Management towards Sustainable Development
Background and Purpose:With the rise of natural disasters, different societies have continually sought to discover solutions to control or minimize the damage caused by unexpected events and to actually manage disasters. In the past few decades, the need for social participation to reduce disasters has increased. The community-based disaster risk management framework is growing. Therefore, thi...
متن کاملExploring cooperation and competition using agent-based modeling.
Agent-based modeling enhances our capacity to model competitive and cooperative behaviors at both the individual and group levels of analysis. Models presented in these proceedings produce consistent results regarding the relative fragility of cooperative regimes among agents operating under diverse rules. These studies also show how competition and cooperation may generate change at both the g...
متن کاملExploring Emergent Behavior in Oscillatory Systems Using Agent-Based Modeling
The field of agent-based modeling is a relatively young field of research in which researchers define sets of agents and sets of rules that control their interactions with each other and the environment. The researcher then takes on the role of observer, watching and analyzing the behavior that emerges in the system. Because of their emphasis on emergent properties arising from simple interacti...
