Towards operationalising an ecosystem approach to the Namibian rock lobster fishery : identifying management objectives and indicators
… issues from the workshop were used to construct causal maps and value trees, for which indicators were suggested in consultation with stakeholders. The results of the ERA confirmed that there is a severe lack of transparency and shared understanding among stakeholders in the Namibian Rock Lobster …

Bayesian participatory-based decision analysis : an evolutionary, adaptive formalism for integrated analysis of complex challenges to social-ecological system sustainability
… Analysis (BPDA), which makes use of graphical causal maps and Bayesian networks to facilitate integration at the appropriate scales and levels of descriptions. The BPDA approach is not a predictive approach, but rather, caters for a wide range of future scenarios in anticipation of the need to …

From conceptual diagrams to semi-quantitative models of social-ecological systems: exploring fuzzy cognitive mapping for a coastal fisheries system in the Southern Cape, South Africa
… strategic decision-making. This study builds on causal maps co-created with small-scale fishers from South Africa's southern Cape, integrating expert views and local knowledge through the use of FCM and a rapid prototyping approach. Iterative FCM application involved testing software suitability, …

Development of a scenario-based approach for responding to change in fishery systems: a case study in the small-scale fisheries of South Africa's Southern Cape
… structured decision-making tools (specifically causal mapping, Bayesian belief networks and scenario planning) can be applied in an interactive and iterative scenario-based approach with disenfranchised fishers in support of decision-making at multiple scales. Specifically, this thesis aims to …

Urban development growth strategies and societal wellbeing
… 1968 and 2018, systematically code the text into causal maps and build a simulation model of an urban area to explore alternative urban planning policies and strategies through simulation experiments. The findings show that policymakers have adopted a dominant urban development strategy over the …
