Abstract

As mentioned in previous chapters, the companion modelling approach is based on principles laid down in the ComMod Charter (Collectif ComMod 2005). In this founding document, two fields of application were identified: to produce knowledge on the social and ecological systems under study and to facilitate cooperation between different stakeholders involved in a participatory process.

Notes

  1. 1.

     We will not address here the issue of the representation of social groups that was discussed in Chap. 5.

  2. 2.

     Drinking water for the agglomeration, industrial use, agricultural use, dilution of sewage, flood protection and recreational use of reservoirs.

  3. 3.

     Computerized and non-computerized role-playing games, a basic drawing to permit the mapping of subdivisions’ ‘resources’ and a dramatization of a conflict over a development issue in a subdivision (without representing biophysical dynamics).

  4. 4.

     For some, an organization has neither a mental model nor a memory, and thus cannot learn.
