Abstract
This paper describes the main functionalities of an integrated framework
to model the interactions between land use, climate, and hydrology along
with stakeholders' negotiation. Its novelty lies in the combination of
individual-based and spatially distributed models within the
Socio-Hydrology paradigm to capture the complexity and uncertainty
inherent to these systems. It encompasses a land-use/land-cover cellular
automata model, an agent-based model used for automated stakeholders'
negotiation, and the hydrological MIKE SHE/MIKE 11 model, which are
linked and can be accessed through a web-based interface. It enables
users to run simulations to explore a wide range of scenarios related to
land development and water resource management while considering the
reciprocal influence of human and natural systems. This framework was
developed with the involvement of key stakeholders from the initial
design stage to the final demonstration and validation.
