Description for Agent-Based Simulation of Vulnerability Dynamics
Paperback. The book constitutes an extraordinary innovative research approach in transferring the concepts and methods of complex systems to risk research. It ambitiously bridges the barriers between theoretical, empirical and methodical research work. Series: Springer Theses. Num Pages: 240 pages. BIC Classification: RGBP; RGC; RNR. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 235 x 155 x 13. Weight in Grams: 373.
This thesis constitutes an extraordinary innovative research approach in transferring the concepts and methods of complex systems to risk research. It ambitiously bridges the barriers between theoretical, empirical and methodical research work and integrates these fields into one comprehensive approach of dealing with uncertainty in socio-ecological systems. The developed agent-based simulation aims at the dynamics of social vulnerability in the considered system of the German North Sea Coast. Thus, the social simulation provides an analytical method to explore the individual, relational, and spatial aspects leading to dynamics of vulnerability in society. Combining complexity science and risk research by the method ... Read more
