Although low in number, drama theory applications form a distinctive type of action research; employing role-plays in sequence with interviews and iterative modelling between stakeholders and researchers (Campo et al, 2009;Ruankaew et al, 2010;Simon and Etienne, 2010).…”

It was recognized that, when initiating cognitive mapping or other stakeholderdriven methods into the planning processes, goals of the approach and rules of participation need to be carefully negotiated first to gain the participants' trust in the planning process (Baskent et al, 2008a;Kassa et al, 2009;Mutimukuru et al, 2006).…”

“…The companion modeling (ComMod) approach appeared relatively frequently (N = 10) in the sample (Batten 2009;Leclerc et al 2009;Campo et al 2010;Lagabrielle et al 2010;Naivinit et al 2010;Ruankaew et al 2010;Sandker et al 2010;Simon and Etienne 2010;Worrapimphong et al 2010;Barnaud et al 2013). Projects using this genuine participatory approach usually produce (most often agentbased) models representing local/regional societies and respective environments that aim to make actors' decisions explicit, elicit discussion, and facilitate solutions to the problems.…”

A functional-dynamic reflection on participatory processes in modeling projects

The participation of nonscientists in modeling projects/studies is increasingly employed to fulfill different functions. However, it is not well investigated if and how explicitly these functions and the dynamics of a participatory process are reflected by modeling projects in particular. In this review study, I explore participatory modeling projects from a functional-dynamic process perspective. The main differences among projects relate to the functions of participation-most often, more than one per project can be identified, along with the degree of explicit reflection (i.e., awareness and anticipation) on the dynamic process perspective. Moreover, two main approaches are revealed: participatory modeling covering diverse approaches and companion modeling. It becomes apparent that the degree of reflection on the participatory process itself is not always explicit and perfectly visible in the descriptions of the modeling projects. Thus, the use of common protocols or templates is discussed to facilitate project planning, as well as the publication of project results. A generic template may help, not in providing details of a project or model development, but in explicitly reflecting on the participatory process. It can serve to systematize the particular project's approach to stakeholder collaboration, and thus quality management.

“…These occasions applied MAS (Purnomo et al, 2005b) to model the perspectives of the relevant actors, dramatheory-based role plays to take perspectives and experiment with hypothetical scenarios (Campo et al, 2009). "Companion modelling", a combination of these two approaches was applied as the third type of interactive tools (Ruankaew et al, 2010). Like spreadsheets, MCDM tools were typically not used alone but together with other types of tools such as GIS and cognitive modelling tools (Mendoza and Prabhu, 2005;Nordström et al, 2010;He et al, 2011).…”

Aim of study: This review presents the state-of-art of using computerized techniques for problem structuring (PS) in participatory forest planning. Frequency and modes of using different computerized tool types and their contribution for planning processes as well as critical observations are described, followed by recommendations on how to better integrate PS with the use of forest decision support systems.Area of study: The reviewed research cases are from Asia, Europe, North-America, Africa and Australia.Materials and methods: Via Scopus search and screening of abstracts, 32 research articles from years 2002–2011 were selected for review. Explicit and implicit evidence of using computerized tools for PS was recorded and assessed with content-driven qualitative analysis.Main results: GIS and forest-specific simulation tools were the most prevalent software types whereas cognitive modelling software and spreadsheet and calculation tools were less frequently used, followed by multi-criteria and interactive tools. The typical use type was to provide outputs of simulation–optimization or spatial analysis to negotiation situations or to compile summaries or illustrations afterwards; using software during group negotiation to foster interaction was observed only in a few cases.Research highlights: Expertise in both decision support systems and group learning is needed to better integrate PS and computerized decision analysis. From the knowledge management perspective, it is recommended to consider how the results of PS – e.g. conceptual models – could be stored into a problem perception database, and how PS and decision making could be streamlined by retrievals from such systems.Keywords: facilitated modeling; group negotiation; knowledge management; natural resource management; PSM; soft OR; stakeholders.
