Agent-based modeling of hunting and subsistence agriculture on indigenous lands: Understanding interactions between social and ecological systems
Our simulation model investigates socio-ecological systems of indigenous people. Interactions in indigenous communities are examined with spatially explicit ABM. Model parameters and validation were based on field data from Rupununi, Guyana. The model could reproduce actual population sizes of two villages. The model displays non-linear system dynamics relevant to indigenous land use.
