archetype analysis in commons research | Case |
this is a collaborative project based on the iasc arizona 2020 workshop panel on archetype analysis for commons research. archetypes are increasingly used across a wide range of sustainability themes for "pattern recognition, diagnosis, or scenario development". the work draws on a family of cases from the social-ecological systems (ses) library at asu - to explore how archetype analysis can be used to synthesize results from a set of case studies. a second goal is to facilitate the... | 21 Feb 2020 |
water scarcity, flooding, and public infrastructure in mexico city | Case |
mexico city, a megalopolis of 22 million, is located at the center of the basin of mexico. for over 600 years, catastrophic flooding and access to potable water have challenged the city's residents, motivating extensive investments in hard infrastructure to supply the city with fresh water, or to protect the city from periodic flooding. the case study catalogues an action situation involving residents and their local, city, state, and federal governments that formally and informally govern... | 09 Aug 2016 |

mathematical models in social ecological systems | Case |
this case is an umbrella to capture a range of models of ecological, social, social-ecological, and other natural systems (e.g. climate). in addition, there are several models whose main purpose is to demonstrate model visualization features related to a number of famous mathematical models including the lorenz model, the discrete logistic, and predator prey models. the lorenz model, probably the most famous of all simple models, is the first ever model of a chaotic dynamical system. chaos... | 09 Aug 2016 |
large n comparative studies of ostrom's design principles | Case |
there have been a number of studies that focus on testing whether and in what contexts ostrom's institutional design principles may lead to successful governance of common-pool resources. the study of cox et al. (see sources) coded the presence or absence of each of 8 design principles and success in 62 cases and found that the likelihood of success and the presence of individual design principles is positively correlated. however, because institutions are systems, it is likely that well... | 13 Jul 2017 |
