Participatory Environmental Modeling

Does not take place this semester.
VVZ CR n/a

Last Updated: 2026-02-05 16:02:17

Abstract

The lecture accompanies students into a participatory modelling process. We explore environmental topics such as urban agriculture or climate-resilient city. Students will get to know participatory modelling tools as well as concepts and approaches related to it.Students elaborate the processes from questions to interactive operational models.

Objective

In this course students will learn: • The process of developing a model to address an environmental problem: from choosing an appropriate technique (Agent-based modelling, Bayesian Networks and System dynamics), to conceptualization and model building. • Communication and facilitation skills to foster effective and legitimate collaboration with stakeholders. Students then apply this knowledge and skills to a real-life case study, creating a model with stakeholders to address an environmental problem.
