Co-constructing Conceptual Models: Dynamics and Interactions in Ecology
The co-construction of conceptual models focusing on ecological dynamics, human-driven interactions, and environmental transitions. Discover the intricate relationships between actors, resources, and the environment, leading to a shared representation of complex systems.

B2: Co-construction of the conceptual model Block 2 - Co-constructing conceptual models Anne Dray
B2: Co-construction of the conceptual model P-ARDI ------------------------- Problem Actors Resources Dynamics Interactions
A R D I S T P Co-constructing a shared representation of the system at stake Creating together a diagram on the interactions between environment and society in a few steps (P = Problem) A = Actors R = Resources D = Dynamics I = Interactions (S = Space) (T = Time)
B2: Co-construction of the conceptual model D What are the main Dynamics linked to the research question? ECOLOGICAL Vegetation transitions Water flow Animal population dynamics Frequency of forest fires Natural hazards ECONOMICAL Market prices fluctuation Subsidies (PES, REDD+) POLITICAL SOCIAL WWF conservation policy Elections Land planning Demographics/Migration Social cohesion among farmers Tourism flows
B2: Co-construction of the conceptual model Ecological Dynamics If you were to walk into the landscape, what would you see (landuses & land cover)? S How are they interlinked in time? How is the transformation from one landuse/landcover into another one? T What causes the transition from one state to another? human activities internal transitions (ecological dynamics) 5

B2: Co-construction of the conceptual model P-ARDI in practice Which modalities? Ask the participants to speak in turn Construct diagrams as it goes Specify generic/polysemous terms (manager, water, soil, land ) Reflect on level of precision needed (farmer, livestock farmer, bovine breeding farmer, ) Neutrality/avoid judgemental poaching) Avoid technical jargon terms (pollute, exterminate, 11
