| 103-0468-00L | Participatory Environmental Modeling | 3 credits | 2G | N. Salliou, B. Black, A. Grêt-Regamey, J. Schuur | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Abstract | The lecture engages students in a participatory modelling process of diverse, real-world, environmental problems working alongside a partner organisation. This years case studies come from three external organisations: Rewilding Appenines, University of Belize and Consorzio Forestale del Canavese. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Learning 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. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Content | This year the case studies will be : • Coexistence between Bears and Humans in the Apennines (Italy) in and around Abruzzo National Park. Partner: Paula Mayer from Rewilding Appenines • What is the land suitability for the Mayan Nut production in Belize. Partner: Ivis Chan from University of Belize - Environmental Research Institute • How sugar production impact local communities well being in Belize? Partner: Anwar Wade from University of Belize - Environmental Research Institute • What are the socio-ecological impacts of the Consorzio Forestale del Canavese (Italy) forest management plan? Partner: Igor Vigna from the Consorzio Forestale del Canaveze • Exploring the spatial suitability for Solar Energy infrastructure in Switzerland. Partner: Franziska Walther - ETH | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
