Abstract

Simulation models are often used by policy makers as decision support tools for smart city design and planning. However, many of them are designed to be suitable for a particular kind of territory with the corresponding characteristics; especially for city contexts. Therefore, limitations could appear when transferring such simulation models to island contexts. Indeed, because of their relative geographical and socio-cultural differences, cities and islands could react differently to the same changes. That could generate useful insights for the discussion of transferability of smart city solutions from cities to islands. In this paper, we demonstrate how an agent based simulation model for island context related projects can be designed from enrichment of an existing simulation model that was previously applied to cities only. Experiments are made based on the Repast Simphony simulation platform. Thereby, after application to the particular case of Reunion Island, we present a more generic simulation model that could be easily applied to both cities and islands.
