Overview:
Social simulation can be supported by participatory modelling methodologies, where different stakeholders involved on the social reality that wants to be simulated take part in the modelling process. Participatory modelling allows modellers to better understand the social dynamics by representing them in a simulation. Moreover, social simulation can be used with the participant stakeholders to evaluate possible future scenarios, and doing so new situations and solutions are reached. Thus, this approach is also useful for participatory policy making purposes. This seminar offers an introduction to participatory modelling and the methods used in it.
