Dear all,

Thanks for expressing interests in knowing more about The Bridge. We
integrate the Bridge into a package called Co-View (Collaborative Vision
Exploration Workbench). This is an evaluation version. Co-View is a tool
to help facilitators of natural resource management and stakeholders to
articulate and explore a shared vision of the future and to develop
strategies to achieve it. Co-View includes:
A practical guide to facilitating a participatory visioning process;

Future Scenario, Scenarios as a Tool for Adaptive Forest Management

a simply written, illustrated guide to participatory modeling;
The Bridge, a computer-based tool for expressing a vision and
converting it into the basis of a simulation model;
The Power to Change!" game, a team game for using a model to
explore various future scenarios (Simile software required).

For more information and download see

for forestry related issues (participatory and non-participatory system
dynamic modeling and agent-based modeling/artificial society) available at
