“…Using Lane's () map of behavioural system dynamics research, the study can be classified into the behavioural research areas of “Mental Models” (and, to a lesser extent, also to “Encountering the World”). Kopainsky et al () present an experiment conducted in Africa, with “real” smallholder farmers as participants.…”

“…From then on, the behavioural movement spread into most management disciplines: behavioural finance, behavioural accounting, behavioural operations management and research, just to name a few examples. While the term “behavioural system dynamics” was coined only very recently by Lane (), the behavioural perspective is by no means new to system dynamics. It can be found in the seminal work of Jay Forrester, the founder of this field, suggesting that modelling needs to be done in close cooperation with the policymakers (Forrester, ).…”

“…Starting from there, future behavioural system dynamics research could focus on disentangling the various areas of mental model deficits while controlling for risk and uncertainty preferences. Following (Lane, ), it could be investigated if causal chains are too short, too linear, and not adequately inclusive of stocks and flows. In addition, future studies could shed light on what kind of mental inference of farmers is inadequate [see (b) above] and in which way their decision making is impaired by unscientific thinking, by pattern matching, and by bounded rational information usage.…”

“…SD and transitions research take a behavioural approach to human behaviour and decision-making mechanisms. SD literature refers to actor mental models (Sterman et al, 2015a;Morrison and Oliva, 2017;Lane, 2017) and MLP refers to actor rules (Rip and Kemp, 1998;Geels, 2004;Geels et al, 2016). This section discusses related SD research and in addition explores work on the limitations of human cognitive capabilities in understanding the dynamics of systems.…”

Sociotechnical transitions is an emerging research area that uses several methods, amongst which case study and simulation models are often applied. This paper focuses on system dynamics modelling and simulation research and its potential contribution to transition research. Current system dynamics work comes from a wide range of disciplines and spans across the micro, meso, and macro levels which transitions are predominantly analysed along. This overlap carries considerable potential as a conceptual and theoretical basis for transition research. The paper explores this potential and provides a cursory exposition of system dynamics research and exemplary work that is directly relevant to transition research. It raises a number of points that indicate the potential of system dynamics for transition research in terms of methodology and case study research, the behavioural aspects of transitions, and particular subject areas that lie at the organizational field level: technology platforms, business models and organizational change.

“…This allows researchers to properly recall, identify and investigate different applications of SD in the WSDN domain. Second, motivated by the fact that the process of the modelling is more important than the model itself (Lane, ), we outline different steps of the SD modelling process, accompanied by the water sector examples, exemplified in the existing literature. The main focus is on the literature that touches SD modelling process within the water sector.…”

System Dynamics Modelling Process in Water Sector: a Review of Research Literature

2018

System dynamics (SD) approach is a framework for reproducing the behaviour of the real systems. This approach has demonstrated a proven capability in modelling the dynamic interactions among the factors affecting the behaviour of complex systems and therefore can be used by researchers and policymakers as a useful decision tool. Recently, many researchers have devoted significant efforts in adopting the SD modelling technique in water sector, where complex interactions and feedback loops govern the behaviour of the system. This paper presents a comprehensive literature review of scholarly papers in the water sector on the development of the SD models followed by discussion on different steps of the modelling process. A discussion of each step is accompanied by the water sector examples, exemplified in the existing literature. The paper also discusses the advantages and disadvantages of using system dynamics in the water sector and provides directions for future research in this field. © 2018 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
