Integrated management of water resources: A novel approach for water‐stressed regionsSystems Research and Behavioral Science - Tập 36 Số 6 - Trang 827-834 - 2019
Mohammed Haroun, Soham Punjabi, Abhijith Suboyin, Stavroula Anastasiou, Joost de Bakker
AbstractWith the imminent global water crisis, it is imperative to revolutionize how water as a commodity is managed. Currently, there is a disconnect between how various sectors of the society withdraw and consume water especially in hydrocarbon‐rich, water scarce regions such as the Middle East. This study proposes a multi‐criteria, multidisciplinary decision ana...... hiện toàn bộ
Integrating science and management through collaborative learning and better information managementSystems Research and Behavioral Science - Tập 20 Số 2 - Trang 107-118 - 2003
O.J.H. Bosch, Annette H. Ross, R. J. S. Beeton
AbstractAchieving more sustainable land and water use depends on high‐quality information and its improved use. In other words, better linkages are needed between science and management. Since many stakeholders with different relationships to the natural resources are inevitably involved, we suggest that collaborative learning environments and improved information ...... hiện toàn bộ
Creative holism: a critical systems approach to complex problem situationsSystems Research and Behavioral Science - Tập 23 Số 5 - Trang 647-657 - 2006
Michael C. Jackson
AbstractThe 49th Annual Meeting of the International Society for the Systems Sciences had, as its theme, ‘the potential impacts of systemics on society’. As my contribution to this, I want to discuss why I think a critical systems approach called ‘creative holism’ can help managers address complex problem situations. As is frequently stated, managers today face inc...... hiện toàn bộ
Contested Modelling: a Critical Examination of Expert Modelling in SustainabilitySystems Research and Behavioral Science - Tập 33 Số 1 - Trang 45-63 - 2016
Mike Yearworth, Sarah Cornell
We discuss the role of expert modelling in sustainability using a framework designed to improve the effectiveness of the modelling process. Based on the development of a set of reflective questions that can be used at certain key stages in the lifecycle of projects developing such models, we discuss how using the framework would lead to improvements in the coupling of the process of expert...... hiện toàn bộ
