XVIII Congress of the SIGEF - Integrating Community and Policy Making: Structural Analysis And Micmac Tool.

Congress

Summary *

Structural prospective analysis is one of the most used tools in studies about the future. This method was born from the Forrester?s works on industrial dynamics and, then, generalized to urban dynamics. The approach is based on the analysis of multiple and homogeneous, qualitative and quantitative variables and its interrelations. Particularly, in the communitarian use of natural resources, participative methodologies are useful to obtain the main variables.We study the methodological consistence of those interrelations. With the illustration of a particular case, we show that this method is potentially efficient for economic policies delineation, despite to have some weaknesses Information provided by the agent in SIGEVA
