Modelling cooperation in Bali irrigation

In social-ecological systems research the use of natural resources is typically studied on either a conceptual (theory) or a detailed level (case studies). We use agent-based modelling to take an approach that is situated in between. With this we aim to generate understanding that goes beyond the case, while being sensitive to contextual aspects of a given social dilemma situation. Our model combines a theoretical model of norm-driven cooperation with a case-specific model of an irrigation dilemma. The theoretical model is contextualised by using case empirics to investigate the role of cooperation for the performance of a rice growing community. Particularly, for this conference, we focus on the effect of introducing ecological complexity by embedding empirical based resource dynamics

Policy arenas are of major importance for long-term water management. Here, decisions are made. Nevertheless, the uncertainties deriving from the policy arenas have gained very limited attention so far in future studies. We analyse longterm water management in The Netherlands, i.e. the Dutch Delta Programme to identify factors causing shocks and the system’s responses to that. We identified a participatory policy structure as a major shock. The results of this shock-system response analysis result in a means to address explicate and include social uncertainties

Social identity modelling

This is an editorial to the special section on “Social Identity Modelling”, published in Volume 26, Issues 2 and 3, 2023 of the Journal of Artificial Societies and Social Simulation. It provides information on how the Social Identity Approach (SIA) and the research using its theoretical framework explains collective behaviour, tailored specifically for modellers. The discussion centres around describing and reflecting on the state of the art in modelling SIA. The editorial ends with looking ahead towards formalising SIA as a means to enable more collective behavioural realism in agent-based social simulations.Energie and Industri
