A System Dynamics Model for Integrated Resorts: A Case Study of Matsu Island
نویسندگان
چکیده
Integrated Resorts (IR) is an integrated form of entertainment consisting of leisure, food and beverages, shopping, exhibition, and casino. A casino is an integral part of IR that arouses extensive discussion from all social sectors. In the course of discussion and assessment of the establishment of IR in Matsu Island, a number of stakeholders and numerous complicated economic, social, and environmental factors are involved. In this study, the System Dynamics (SD) is adopted for proposing a systems thinking framework with the buildup of a SD analysis model from holistic perspectives to assess the economic, social, environmental influence and possible contribution of the establishment of IR on Matsu. This study is not only an attempt to supplement the inadequacy of the literature on IR planning studies, but also can serve as the platform for the experiment of policy by the planners, decision-makers, and the stakeholders. This platform can be used for observing the dynamic change of the influence under different policies, and as recommendation for policy making.
