Making city in the "non-city" : the integration of irregular settlements in Andalusia. A case study
/
Piñero Valverde, Antonio (Universidad de Sevilla. Fundación de Investigación) ;
Luque Martín, Irene (Universidad de Sevilla) ;
Miguel Rodriguez, Jaime de (Universidad de Sevilla)
The problems associated with numerous irregular buildings existing in Andalucia today, demands a new approach. In order to deepen the definition of strategies of urbano-territorial integration of these settlements, we present a case study in which, at the end of its implementation in agent-based simulation models, we summarize the ODD Protocol which will form the basis of the simulation, indicating the determining factors to consider for an effective and participatory planning, that minimize the progressive estrangement between the normative framework and the reality that is tried to order.

Communication apprehension, self-esteem and the Leviathan model
/
Huet, Sylvie (Institut national de recherche en sciences et technologies pour l'environnement et l'agriculture (França)) ;
Shtiliyanova, Anastasia (Institut National de la Recherche Agronomique (França))
Mc Corskey and al, 1977 have shown there is a link between a high aversion to oral communication and a lower self-esteem. We investigate if the Leviathan model which considers agents gossiping and having an opinion of each other (Deffuant et al 2013) is able to reproduce such a correlation. [...]

The individual agent makes a difference in segregation simulation

Koch, Andreas (University of Salzburg. Department of Geography and Geology)
Urban social segregation modeling from the bottom up attempts at understanding the processes which take place when residents look for a new home. This micro-scale perspective thus requires implementing actual individual agents instead of socially unified communities with similar or identical behavior. [...]

One of the advantages of agent-based models as simulations of social systems is the ease with which it is possible to spatially embed the agents and their interactions. Spatially explicit representations in agent-based models most typically take the form of raster-based representations in which the space is represented as a grid of squares. [...]

Vasey, Huw (University of Manchester. Institute for Social Change)
This paper describes an agent-based model of inter-ethnic partnership formation. Inter-ethnic marriage, both a cause and a consequence of immigrant integration, is generally used to imply that the social distance between groups is low and, by extension, that community cohesion is high. [...]

The efficiency of organizational withdrawal vs commitment

Actors within an organization usually do not behave as expected at design-time. There are diverse reasons for this, notably the actors' motivation and organizational commitment. In this paper, we explore the efficiency of a concrete public organization in the context of the Latin-american culture, to the light of the organizational commitment of its members. [...]

In this paper, we study both processes of direct and indirect knowledge transfer, from a modelling perspective, using agent-based models. In fact, there are several ways to model knowledge. We choose to study three different representations, and try to determine which one allows to better capture the dynamics of knowledge diffusion within a social network. [...]

Online communities are more dynamic in terms of composition compared to traditional physical communities. This can affect the conditions for cooperation. We discuss empirical results from online communities and extend the evolution of firms model of Axtell to discover the conditions of cooperation in groups.

Emigration is a social movement associated to the demand of better life conditions in different countries from those where one was born. In the specific case of skilled workers, this phenomenon is typically characterised in a negative way, due to the country's loss of highly skilled resources, in whose education significant investment was done.

The classical wave-of-advance model is based on Fisher's equation. However, this approach leads to an unbounded wave-of-advance speed at high reproduction rates. In contrast, an integro-difference model leads to a finite upper bound for the speed, namely the maximum dispersal distance divided by the generation time. [...]

Different models of social influence have explored the dynamics of social contagion, imitation, and diffusion of different types of behaviour. However, empirical data on social influence processes have usually relied on surveys, virtual networks analysis or laboratory experiments, while few behavioural data indicating large social influence dynamics have been obtained from direct observation in 'natural' social contexts.
