A practical framework to evaluate the feasibility of incentive-based approaches to reduce bycatch of marine mammals and other protected species
Fisheries bycatch is one of the biggest threats to marine mammal populations and an important conservation and management problem worldwide. Conventional marine mammal bycatch mitigation approaches typically rely on top-down, command-and-control regulations that often fail to create desired incentives for fishers to avoid bycatch. There is growing recognition of the need to explore alternative approaches that encourage behavioral change through t…
Climate change by any other name: Social representations and language practices of coastal inhabitants on Mayotte Island in the Indian Ocean
As population-related climate change research increases, so does the need to nuance approaches to this complex phenomenon, including issues related to cultural and linguistic translations. To explore how climate change is understood in understudied societies, a case-study approach is taken to address social representations of climate change by inhabitants of a Maore village in the French island of Mayotte. The study explores how local fishers und…
Serious games and citizen science; from parallel pathways to greater synergies
Citizen science and serious games are participatory methods that gained traction in recent years, especially in the environmental sciences in the context of natural resource management. The two approaches interact with both instrumental and relational values of decision making and appear to have similar objectives in supporting the development of a shared understanding of the environmental impacts of human land use decisions with a larger and mor…
L’émancipation des habitants pour une gouvernance adaptative de la biodiversité: Étude d’un dispositif participatif
L’article s’appuie sur l’évaluation d’un dispositif participatif, « Mon village espace de biodiversité ». Celui-ci amène les participants à prendre conscience de leurs connaissances et de leur pouvoir d’agir sur leur territoire, ce qui permet le développement d’une dynamique constructive d’actions pour les biens communs dans leurs formes les plus fondamentales (la protection de la nature et du lien social). Surtout, ces actions nécessitent et fav…
Une exploration interdisciplinaire des liens entre relation au lieu et concernement. À propos des risques fluviaux et côtiers en France métropolitaine
Quels sont les liens entre la relation au lieu que développent des individus et leur « concernement » à propos de phénomènes qualifiés de « risques » sur ce même lieu ? Afin de répondre à cette question, un état de l’art précise tout d’abord le concept de « concernement » en qualifiant différentes modalités (notamment « passif » ou « actif ») ainsi que le concept de « relation au lieu » et ses différentes dimensions (identitaire, émotionnelle, sy…
De la simulation à la simulation participative: Apporter une vision intégrée de la rénovation urbaine aux aménageurs publics, à travers une démarche expérimentale
Dans le cadre de programmes nationaux de rénovation urbaine, les acteurs de la politique de la Ville mènent de nombreux projets cherchant à répondre à différents objectifs : réduire la consommation énergétique, améliorer le cadre de vie, favoriser l’écomobilité, encourager la mixité sociale. Plusieurs acteurs publics locaux sont concernés (services de la politique de la Ville et/ou de l’urbanisme et/ou de l’environnement des communes et intercomm…
Paving the way to coastal adaptation pathways: An interdisciplinary approach based on territorial archetypes
Sensibiliser au risque de submersion marine par le jeu ou faut-il qu’un jeu soit spatialement réaliste pour être efficace
The serious game LittoSIM models the risk of coastal flooding, using real data, to which an island on the French Atlantic coast is exposed. It proposes to four teams of players to manage the territory, planning urbanization and coastal defense, and then to observe the consequences of land use planning during marine submersion events. The serious game, supported by a multi-agent model, facilitates the apprehension of risk by elected officials and …

Coupling Environmental and Social Processes to Simulate the Emergence of a Savannah Landscape Mosaic Under Shifting Cultivation and Assess its Sustainability
This paper presents an agent-based spatial simulation of shifting cultivation applied to savannah landscape in North-Cameroon (Duupa ethnic community). The model is based on empirical rules and was developed by a team who seek to create interdisciplinary dynamics by combining domain specific approaches to the same subject. The manner in which the model is described in this paper reflects the interdisciplinary processes that guided its development…
Participatory Agent-Based Simulation for Renewable Resource Management: The Role of the Cormas Simulation Platform to Nurture a Community of Practice
This paper describes how the Cormas platform has been used for 12 years as an artefact to foster learning about agent-based simulation for renewable resource management. Among the existing generic agent-based simulation platforms, Cormas occupies a tiny, yet lively, place. Thanks to regular training sessions and an electronic forum, a community of users has been gradually established that has enabled a sharing of ideas, practices and knowledge, a…
