Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA)

["Marcelo Somenson"]

Anastássios:

It´s more common to use SD in the modelation of some parts of the EIA, for
example the distribution of a pollutan, the tendence of an epidemy in the
time, or the .
In any case, it would be important to identify the "key" aspects of the
problem evaluated in an holistic way, and to use SD in those critical
aspects.
You shoud first have a conceptual model of the situation, and that means a
valoration of the components an process of it. Such valoration is complex
and multicriteria, even with participation of many social actors. I do not
know that exista that kind of mathematical model, but already exist many
models for especific aspects of that conceptual model.

Dear friends,

has anybody ever participated in an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA)
process (say, elaborating an Environmental Impact Statement/ EIS) with a
System Dynamics model? If so, I would like to reference their work. (I am
writing an article on this).

Best regards,
Tasso
