“…We did not constrain each team within a single conceptual modeling framework because of the diversity of the topics and team members and a lack of existing conceptual models from the literature that could accommodate this diversity (Binder et al 2013;Fisher et al 2013;Dorward 2014). As a result, the conceptual models ranged from those that were focused on the system components (e.g., Kenney et al 2014, pp.…”

During the development of the Third U.S. National Climate Assessment, an indicators system was recommended as a foundational product to support a sustained assessment process (Buizer et al. 2013). The development of this system, which we call the National Climate Indicators System (NCIS), has been an important early product of a sustained assessment process. In this paper, we describe the scoping and development of recommendations and prototypes for the NCIS, with the expectation that the process and lessons learned will be useful to others developing suites of indicators. Key factors of initial success are detailed, as well as a robust vision and decision criteria for future development; we also provide suggestions for voluntary support of the broader scientific community, and for funding priorities, including a research team to coordinate and prototype the indicators, system, and process. Moving forward, sufficient coordination and scientific expertise to implement and maintain the NCIS, as well as creation of a structure for scientific input from the broader community, will be crucial to its success.Climatic Change (2016) 135:85-96 DOI 10.1007/s10584-016-1609-

“…The definition of a SES (Glaser et al, 2008;Binder et al, 2013;McGinnis and Ostrom, 2014) refers to any functional unit with tangible and intangible resources, institutions and social actors, delimited by certain activities, conditions or problems. This definition emphasizes that evolution of natural systems and social systems is interdependent.…”

Tourism potential is greatly related to destinations' reorganization and innovation abilities. Throughout the last fifteen years, tourism evolution at the western section of the Sil Canyon (NW Spain) has reflected the transformations facing times of crisis. By assuming tourism as a complex adaptive system, the aims of this research about an inland destination were focused on the touristic strategies interpretation. The destination evolution is carried out, including the narratives by key actors. The rural tourism strategies change by integrating nature-based and cultural tourism strategies.Keywords: Inland Tourism, Touristic Destination, Key Actors, Crisis, Adaptive Strategies. Estrategias adaptativas en destinos turísticos de interior (Cañón del Sil, Galicia, NO España) RESUMENEl potencial del turismo está relacionado en gran medida con la capacidad de reorganización e innovación de los destinos. Durante los últimos quince años, la evolución del turismo en el sector occidental del Cañón del Sil (Galicia, NO España) refleja las trans- formaciones ante momentos de crisis. Asumiendo que el turismo es un sistema adaptativo complejo, los objetivos de esta investigación sobre un destino de interior están centrados en la interpretación de las estrategias turísticas. El estudio de la evolución del destino turístico incluye la lectura de los actores clave. Las estrategias de turismo rural cambian integrando las estrategias de turismo en la naturaleza y cultural.

Modelling is used to describe, explore and predict changes in land use and other human systems. 'Top-down' and 'bottom-up' modelling approaches are both popular, and each has important philosophical implications that correspond closely to major debates in social science. We outline some key contributions to these debates and argue that social processes such as those underlying land use decisions are fundamentally determined by individual intentionality, interacting with social norms of language, culture and institutions, rather than by general and predictable 'laws'. Therefore, bottom-up models that reflect these processes offer far more informative accounts of system development. However, prediction remains outside the scope of either approach, and methods of validation based on tests of historical predictive ability risk over-fitting to trends and underestimating uncertainties. We explore the implications of these arguments for model design and use, and for general understanding of such fundamentally complex, spontaneously evolving systems.
