World-Earth System Governance

Case
This case is a focal point for 'gobal' models - i.e. modes with no particular spatial resolution.  There are many of these - any economic growth model with some sort of ecological constraint.

Nohwa-do and Bogil-do, Communal Water Resources Management, South Korea

Case
Nohwa-do and Bogil-do are South Korea's southernmost islands, located off the coast of the province of Jeollanam-do. They are connected by a bridge and share a reservoir in Bogil-do. The inhabitants of the two islands have to share water since Nohwa-do lacked a reservoir.The primary causes of the commons dillemma in Nohwa-do and Bogil do are a lack of appropriate and effective public participation and a hierarchical decision-making process between local government and central government...

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...

Institutional Analysis of Tourism system from a Commons Perspective in Upper Mustang, Nepal

Case
Before the introduction of tourism, people of Upper Mustang subsisted on only three occupations: agriculture, animal husbandry, and petty trans-Himalayan trade. The Upper Mustang region of Nepal has long been a tourist destination, especially for the westerners. Once popularly known as a Lost Kingdom of Nepal, this region is located in the rain-shadowed with harsh climatic conditions, but evokes a mystical and exotic image for tourists because of its unique landscapes and rich cultural heritage...

Water Equity and Tourism: A Case of Nainital District, Uttarakhand

Case
The current case is based on findings specific to ten villages in two blocks, Ramgarh and Dhari located in the Nainital district of Uttarakhand, India. This study is based on fieldwork that was carried over the course of a few years since 2014; originally with the intent to ascertain the impact of climate change on the livelihoods of mountain farmers. It was found that urbanization and the increase in tourism infrastructure in the district over the past decade has resulted in a conflict over...

Tourism and Natural Infrastructure in Community de Agua Blanca, Puerto Lopez, Ecuador

Case
Agua Blanca Community is located in the province of Manabí, in the municipality of Puerto López, Machalilla parish. The community, founded in 1930, is within the Machalilla National Park, and occupies an area of 10,500 hectares. It is made up of approximately 80 families, that is, almost 300 people. It possesses one of the largest archaeological settlements on the coast related to the manteña culture (800-1532 AD). The community has historically conducted activities in agriculture and livestock...

Mathematics of Marital Conflict

Model
This discrete time model represents a coupled system as seen through talk turns in a conversation between a wife and husband where each exerts influence dynamically on the other. Cook et al. (1995) develop this entirely social model based on empirical observations of marital conflict in the Gottman Love Lab, a University of Washington social laboratory studying marital conflict and resolution.  The authors developed this model, then confirmed the model through turn-wise application of the...

Fractal Poverty Traps

Model
The dynamic model for poverty traps contains parameters as government policies and technologies, and variables such as income, expenditures, assets holdings and anthropometric status. This dynamic model for poverty traps offers a new perspective by showing the existence of multiple stable equilibria, which implies that there's one unstable dynamic equilibria. At this unstable equilibria, any little shock in the system will cause a switch to state equilibrium. Different to the standard economic...

Resource Dynamics Under Harvest and Sunk Cost Effects

Model
This is a simple model for resource dynamics under harvest. The authors added expected effects of investment in fixed structures on the dynamics of settlement. These sunk-cost effects are not included in this simple model.The authors introduce a model of logictically regrowing resource exploited by a consumer. There is only one variable, which is level of local renewable sources. Parameters are: local renewable resources (R), settlement of humans (H), maximum growth rate (g), maximum level of...

Modeling Human Ecodynamics and Biocultural Interactions in the Late Pleistocene of Western Eurasia

Model
Exploring the dynamic feedbacks between biological and cultural evolutionary systems is critical to understanding the origins of modern human behavior. The authors present a population dynamics model using ordinary differential equations and agent based modeling to delineate the consequences of differing mobility strategies expressed as reproduction potential at the population level for Late Pleistocene hominins in Western Eurasia (i.e., modern Homo sapiens and Neanderthals). The model...

OpenABM: Agent-based model database

Case
OpenABM is a node in the CoMSES Network, providing a growing collection of tutorials and FAQs on agent-based modeling, a model library intended to provide a locus for authors and modelers to share their models, and forums for modeling-related discussions and job postings.You can find OpenABM here: www.openabm.org.

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...
