Abstract

"The sustainability of society resource interaction is often controlled by regulating access to space. One of the major problems concerning resources such as wild fauna or fish communities is that the resource may move or migrate among the different parts of space, following the different seasons of the year. The dynamics of this space-resource must be taken into account. Modeling and simulation may be an efficient tool to explore the consequences of diverse modes of collective appropriations on the dynamics of the resource. In this paper we present and discuss a modeling methodology (multi-agent systems) in the field of renewable resource management."
