Environmental Conflicts, Stakeholders and a Shared Mental Model
نویسنده
چکیده
Environmental conflict management involves the management of multiple stakeholders with conflicting stakes. In this paper, an attempt is made to develop a shared mental model of stakeholders in an environmental conflict. The Transmission Gully project, a large-scale transport infrastructure project in the Wellington region of New Zealand is used as a case study. Selected stakeholders of this project tried to generate this shared model, in the form of a causal loop diagram. This model is analysed qualitatively to provide different insights into potential system behaviours.

A Context-aware Architecture for Mental Model Sharing through Semantic Movement in Intelligent Agents
Recent studies in multi-agent systems are paying increasingly more attention to the paradigm of designing intelligent agents with human inspired concepts. One of the main cognitive concepts driving the core of many recent approaches in multi agent systems is shared mental models. In this paper, we propose an architecture for sharing mental models based on a new concept called semantic movement....
متن کاملWhen Should Control Be Shared?
We analyze the costs and benefits of allowing stakeholders in a firm to share control. In our model, there are conflicts among stakeholders and bargaining does not always lead to efficient decision-making. Although the logic of the Coase Theorem is such that bargaining problems lower the efficiency of decision-making regardless of who has control, we show that conflicts among parties favor undi...
متن کاملSharing the floodplain: Mediated modeling for environmental management
Complex ecosystems, such as the Upper Mississippi River (UMR), present major management challenges. Such systems often provide a range of ecosystem services that are differentially valued by stakeholders representing distinct interests (e.g., agriculture, conservation, navigation) or institutions (e.g., federal and state agencies). When no single entity has the knowledge or authority to resolve...
متن کاملBest Practice in Conceptual Modelling for Environmental Software Development
Conceptual modelling is used in many fields with a varying degree of formality. In environmental applications, conceptual models are used to express relationships, explore and test ideas, check inference and causality, identify knowledge and data gaps, synchronize mental models and build consensus, and to highlight key or dominant processes. Conceptual model representations range from simple bo...
