Integrated geographic modelling and simulation is a computational means to improve understanding of the environment. With development Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) web technologies, it possible conduct open, extensible integrated across network in which resources can be accessed integrated, further distributed simulations performed. This open web-distributed approach likely enhance use existing attract diverse participants. this approach, participants from different physical locations or domains expertise perform comprehensive tasks collaboratively. paper reviews past systems, highlighting associated challenges when moving an system. A conceptual framework proposed introduce roadmap system design perspective, with potential cases provided. The four components - set standards, resource sharing environment, collaborative environment are also discussed detail goal advancing emerging field.

Decision-making under uncertainty is important for managing human-natural systems in a changing world. A major source of linked to the multi-actor settings decisions with poorly understood values, complex relationships, and conflicting management approaches. Despite general agreement across disciplines on co-producing knowledge viable inclusive outcomes context, there still limited conceptual clarity no systematic understanding what co-production means decision-making how it can be approached. Here, we use content analysis clustering systematically analyse 50 cases multiple time spatial scales 26 countries 9 different sectors last decade serve two aims.

Abstract The notion of convergent and transdisciplinary integration, which is about braiding together different knowledge systems, becoming the mantra numerous initiatives aimed at tackling pressing water challenges. Yet, transition from rhetoric to actual implementation impeded by incongruence in semantics, methodologies, discourse among disciplinary scientists societal actors. Here, we embrace “integrated modeling”—both quantitatively qualitatively—as a vital exploratory instrument advance such providing means navigate complexity manage uncertainty associated with understanding, diagnosing, predicting, governing human‐water systems. From this standpoint, confront barriers offering seven focused reviews syntheses existing missing links across frontiers distinguishing surface groundwater hydrology, engineering, social sciences, economics, Indigenous place‐based knowledge, studies other interconnected natural systems as atmosphere, cryosphere, ecosphere. While there are, arguably, no bounds pursuit inclusivity representing spectrum human processes around resources, advocate that integrated modeling can provide approach delineating scope through lens three fundamental questions: (a) What “purpose”?

The achievement of global sustainability agendas, such as the Sustainable Development Goals, relies on transformational change across society, economy, and environment that are co-created in a transdisciplinary exercise by all stakeholders. Within this context, environmental societal is increasingly understood represented via participatory modeling for genuine engagement with multiple collaborators process. Despite diversity methods to promote co-creation, it remains uncertain what extent modes participation different contexts, how select suitable use given situation. Based review available specification potential contextual requirements, we propose unifying framework guide backgrounds can work together evaluate suitability co-creating pathways. evaluation method promises integration concepts approaches necessary address complexities problems at hand while ensuring robust methodologies based well-tested evidence negotiated among participants. Using two illustrative case studies, demonstrate explore choice varying contexts. insights gained inform creative pathway development through tailored combinations best serve specific context particular studies.

Abstract Achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is contingent on managing complex interactions that create synergies and trade‐offs between different goals. It is, therefore, important to improve our understanding of them, their underlying causal drivers, future behaviors, policy implications. Prominent methods interaction analysis focus modeling or data‐driven statistical correlation are often insufficient for giving an integrated view drivers complexity. These also usually too technically heavily provide decision‐makers with simple practical tools easily actionable understandable results. Here, we introduce a flexible systemic approach, termed archetype analysis, generalizes number recurring patterns among SDGs unique We review eight archetypes as thinking aids analyze some trade‐offs, supported by several empirical examples related (e.g., poverty, food, well‐being, water, energy, housing, climate, land use) demonstrate how they can be operationalized in practice. The aimed help researchers policymakers diagnostic tool identify fundamental mechanisms barriers resistance SDG progress, comparative enhance knowledge transfer cases similar prospective design synergistic policies sustainable development.

Introduction Systems modelling and simulation can improve understanding of complex systems to support decision making, better managing system challenges. Advances in technology have facilitated accessibility by diverse stakeholders, allowing them engage with contribute the development models (participatory modelling). However, despite its increasing applications across a range disciplines, there is growing need evaluation efforts effectively report on quality, importance, value participatory modelling. This paper aims identify assess frameworks, criteria, and/or processes, as well synthesize findings into comprehensive multi-scale framework for programs. Materials methods A scoping review approach was utilized, which involved systematic literature search via Scopus consultation experts appraise records that described an framework, process context registered Open Science Framework. Results The identified 11 studies, varied purposes, terminologies, levels examination, time points. studies highlighted areas overlap opportunities further development, prompted programs disciplines methods. consists four categories ( Feasibility , Value Change/Action Sustainability ) 30 broken down project-, individual-, group- system-level impacts.
