Comment/Description

The interactive lecture provides a combined economic and social-ecological systems perspective on land-use problems (agriculture, renewable energy production, nature conservation) with a focus on the behaviour of land-users and the design of sustainable land-use policies. The course involves an introduction to agent-based modelling in NetLogo (https://ccl.northwestern.edu/netlogo/). Theoretical/conceptual inputs, often based on discussions of relevant scientific publications, will be interchanged with hands-on units on programming in NetLogo.

Students will learn to:
* interpret and evaluate land-use problems in the context of social-ecological systems
* identify and evaluate land-use-relevant behavioural theories regarding their suitability for a given context
* criticially evaluate different policy instruments in the land-use context with respect to the coniditions of their effectiveness and select suitable instruments in a context-specific way
* develop simple agent-based land-use models in NetLogo.
