Management of Renewable Resources and Environment
The unit’s aim is to generate knowledge, methods and tools to support collective management of renewable resources and increase players’ ability to steer complex systems.
It concentrates on the following research issues: how can decision-making processes be facilitated by clarifying the criteria on which stakeholders implicitly base their choices? How can the interactions between society and the environment, modes of renewable resource appropriation and use, and interactions between different organizational levels and between individual and collective behaviour be analysed and reported so as to foster integrated, sustainable renewable resource and environment management? What computer tools for modelling and simulating complex systems facilitate the implementation of interdisciplinary approaches, and how can an appropriate generic platform be developed? How can using tools and models help support collective dynamics and governance?
