The aim of the project is to develop and implement a web-based GIS tool for defining sustainable land management (SLM) options by social-ecological context at global scale. This Global Geo-informatics Context and Options ...

This visual-aided manual presents the state-of-the art methodological options for modeling human decision-making in general and in multi-agent system. The options include heuristic, rational, bounded rational and hybrid ...

Smallholder farms’ populations are characterized by their heterogeneity giving the diversity of farms’ livelihood settings. Integrated farming system modelling therefore requires a preliminary clear identification of the ...

Saharan oases can be highly artificial ecosystems, capable of sustaining agriculture under arid climatic conditions; the traditional system requires some degree of collective management for plants, soil and water but has ...

Context: Recent conceptual developments in ecosystem services research have revealed the need to elucidate the complex and unintended relationships between humans and the environment if we are to better understand and ...

Presentation on the Statistic Summaries of SLM Options by Context in the WebGIS sub-tool of Geoinformatics Options by Contexts (GeOC).

Book chapter

This non-exhausted manual summarizes main steps in integrated systems analysis: (1) problem analysis and system boundary definition, (2) system structural analysis, (3) system functional analysis (including feedback loops ...

Integrated model systems that simulate land use and land cover change (LUCC) and associated changes of ecosystem services (ES) are increasingly important for supporting policies and management decisions. However, only few ...

It is important to increase the resilience of rural landscapes in the face of global changes. It is widely recognized that integrated modeling is often a methodological choice to study landscape resilience because the task ...
