Organizing Theories for Disasters into a Complex Adaptive System Framework
Increasingly urbanized populations and climate change have shifted the focus of decision makers from economic growth to the sustainability and resilience of urban infrastructure and communities, especially when communities face multiple hazards and need to recover from recurring disasters. Understanding human behavior and its interactions with built environments in disasters requires disciplinary crossover to explain its complexity, therefore we …
An Interdisciplinary Approach to Agent-Based Modeling of Conflict in Eastern Africa
Over the past four years, a team of computational social scientists at the Center for Social Complexity at George Mason University (GMU) in collaboration with anthropologists from the Human Relations Area Files (HRAF) at Yale University have been developing a multi-scale spatial agent-based model to better understand the environmental, social, and cultural dimensions of conflicts in the Rift Valley region of eastern Africa. The overall goal of th…
Agent-Based Models and Ethnography: Combining Qualitative and Computational Techniques with Complexity Theory
Increased interaction, adaptability, diversity, and emergence are all hallmarks of complexity (Miller and Page 2007; see Simon 1996). While anthropologists may not use these specific complexity theory terms, they have long been interested in how diverse people interact and adapt in their negotiation of identity and society and what sorts of social phenomena emerge from these interactions. A complexity theory perspective can interpret culture or c…
