The use of game-based participatory modelling to facilitate social and infrastructure resilience planning

Abstract

Resilience building has become critical in disaster planning, especially with the increasing impacts of climate change. Formal modelling methods have been developed for informed decision-making. However, a comprehensive framework involving multiple stakeholders is needed to address the complex issues related to community resilience planning. Participatory modelling and gaming have emerged as effective approaches that aid data-driven decision-making (Elsawah et al., 2023), enabling stakeholders to create, adjust, and learn from interactive models and use insights to inform their decisions.
