Experiences with a Socio-Environmental Modeling Course

Abstract: In a social-environmental modeling course, students need to learn complementary skills that include the conceptualisation of a model, different modeling paradigms, computer programming, and the process of rigorously converting ideas and data into a computational program using a given toolkit. Such topics need to be taught in parallel in order to keep a heterogeneous audience motivated. Based on the experience with multidisciplinary audiences, this paper describes a socio-environmental modeling course that expl… Show more

“…These processes are represented in this work using a top-down approach, in which the demand for residential areas presented by each group of families is allocated according to an estimated potential for each cell. The presented model is built on LuccME, an opensource framework for spatially explicit Land Use and Cover Change (LUCC) modeling, which is built on top of TerraME, a general programming environment for spatial dynamical modeling (AGUIAR et al, 2012;CARNEIRO et al, 2013;ANDRADE et al, 2015).…”

“…De uma maneira geral estes drivers de mudança acontecem em variadas escalas temporais e espaciais, às vezes interligadas, podendo ser oriundas de causas próximas (extração de madeira, expansão de cultivos agrícolas, entre outros) ou causas subjacentes (como dinâmicas migratórias ou políticas de subsídios, por exemplo), ou seja, questões econômicas e sociais, que contribuem para o entendimento das mudanças em si (DeFries, 2013;Lambin e Geist, 2006). Pode-se encontrar estes tipos de causas no que Andrade et al (2015) e Costa et al (2013) chamam de geoinformações, ou seja, qualquer informação espacializada que contenha dados que ajudem a entender a mudança (podem ser censos ou cadastros rurais, por exemplo). Estes autores defendem a associação de geotecnologias com as geoinformações, para uma "modelagem baseada em agentes", onde os agentes tem a capacidade de interagir e modificar o meio ambiente.…”
