Abstract

The concept of social production and management of urban ecosystems may be understood as the generation of new physical or relational situations, by constructing, transforming or eliminating physical and/or relational objects or ensuring the fulfillment of their social and environmental functions. This includes the citizen participation in the process of urban planning and transformation, forming a network structured and supported by tools allowing the equal distribution of power in the decision making. The SJVG-MAS Project addresses, in an interdisciplinary approach, the development of computational tools based on Multiagent Systems (MAS) for the simulation of the social production and management processes that occur in urban ecosystems, in particular, the San Jeronimo Vegetable Garden project ( Seville, Spain). In this paper, we present a MAS-based simulation tool developed in the JaCaMo framework. We conceived a 5-dimensional BDI-like agent social system composed of the agents' population, the social organization, the environment, the interactional / communication and the regulatory structures.
