The aim of this project was to justify and to illustrate with two case studies the use of agent-based modeling<\/strong> (ABM) as a modeling tool for domestic water management in metropolitan regions.<\/p>\n As opposed to traditional water planning models, which are usually based in consumption projections and supply-side policies, there is a growing agreement on the need to include a higher diversity of factors in the models, especially socioeconomic aspects, and to study natural resource models in an integrated fashion.<\/p>\n From a theoretical point of view, agent-based modeling offers a set of features that make it an especially suitable methodology<\/strong> to be used in this domain. This work revises the main advantages of this methodology and illustrates its practical application through two real cases<\/strong>: the FIRMABAR<\/strong> model (L\u00f3pez-Paredes, A., Saur\u00ed, D., & Gal\u00e1n, J. M. 2005), designed to study domestic water management in the Barcelona Metropolitan Region<\/strong>, and the planned adaptation process of this model to the Valladolid Metropolitan Region<\/strong>, which is currently being carried out.<\/p>\n In this project we have underlined the practical importance and relevance of a spreading field of research<\/strong>: agent based modeling and simulation. In our opinion, using this methodology instead of other traditional modeling methods is justified by its realistic and intuitive computational representation of social phenomena, based on the direct correspondence between the entities we observe and the model we are studying. This approach permits building small computational laboratories to get a deeper understanding of the studied real systems.<\/p>\n This modeling approach facilitates a detailed representation of the individual participants<\/strong> in the system, capturing their heterogeneity and representing social processes with realism; it also allows the explicit representation of the space and the local interactions between agents. However, modelers have to pay a price for this series of advantages: agent based models are often analytically intractable and it is necessary to turn to simulation to study their behavior.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider _builder_version=\u00bb3.12″ show_divider=\u00bboff\u00bb disabled_on=\u00bboff|off|off\u00bb disabled=\u00bboff\u00bb \/][et_pb_image admin_label=\u00bbImagen esquema\u00bb _builder_version=\u00bb4.0.9″ src=\u00bbhttps:\/\/www.insisoc.uva.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Esquema-gr\u00e1fico-imagen-GIAVA.png\u00bb show_in_lightbox=\u00bbon\u00bb module_alignment=\u00bbcenter\u00bb align=\u00bbcenter\u00bb max_width=\u00bb70%\u00bb align_last_edited=\u00bbon|desktop\u00bb align_tablet=\u00bbcenter\u00bb max_width_phone=\u00bb100%\u00bb max_width_last_edited=\u00bbon|phone\u00bb box_shadow_horizontal_tablet=\u00bb0px\u00bb box_shadow_vertical_tablet=\u00bb0px\u00bb box_shadow_blur_tablet=\u00bb40px\u00bb box_shadow_spread_tablet=\u00bb0px\u00bb z_index_tablet=\u00bb500″ \/][et_pb_text _builder_version=\u00bb3.12″ text_orientation=\u00bbleft\u00bb]<\/p>\n We have also underlined the possibilities of ABM to allow an interdisciplinary approach to model development and to integrate participatory processes with stakeholders. These two features, together with the current scientific agreement on the need of an integrated study of environmental issues (incorporating the human dimension to the physical and technological ones) make ABM especially suitable to be used as a modeling tool for water management.<\/p>\n We have presented a concise outline of two agent based models for urban water management. The first one was developed for the Barcelona Metropolitan Area and is made up of two linked sub-models, the territorial and the social model, implemented with Java-Swarm over cellular automata.<\/p>\n The second model substitutes a coarse grain abstraction of the region by a VisualMap GIS integrated with RePast libraries. GIS\/ABM coupled techniques<\/strong> have a huge potential not only for exploring individual behaviors and their associated environments but for support assisting policy makers tools.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button admin_label=\u00bbBot\u00f3n a Web Proyecto (rojo)\u00bb _builder_version=\u00bb3.12″ custom_button=\u00bbon\u00bb button_text_color=\u00bb#ffffff\u00bb button_bg_color=\u00bb#cc3300″ button_icon=\u00bb%%28%%\u00bb button_text_color_hover=\u00bb#ffffff\u00bb button_bg_color_hover=\u00bbrgba(204,51,0,0.64)\u00bb button_text_size=\u00bb18″ button_border_width=\u00bb4″ button_border_radius=\u00bb10″ button_font=\u00bbABeeZee|700|||||||\u00bb button_border_color=\u00bb#cc3300″ button_border_color_hover=\u00bbrgba(204,51,0,0.64)\u00bb box_shadow_style=\u00bbpreset3″ url_new_window=\u00bbon\u00bb button_alignment=\u00bbcenter\u00bb background_layout=\u00bbdark\u00bb disabled_on=\u00bbon|on|on\u00bb disabled=\u00bbon\u00bb button_text_size__hover_enabled=\u00bboff\u00bb button_text_size__hover=\u00bbnull\u00bb button_one_text_size__hover_enabled=\u00bboff\u00bb button_one_text_size__hover=\u00bbnull\u00bb button_two_text_size__hover_enabled=\u00bboff\u00bb button_two_text_size__hover=\u00bbnull\u00bb button_text_color__hover_enabled=\u00bbon\u00bb button_text_color__hover=\u00bb#ffffff\u00bb button_one_text_color__hover_enabled=\u00bboff\u00bb button_one_text_color__hover=\u00bbnull\u00bb button_two_text_color__hover_enabled=\u00bboff\u00bb button_two_text_color__hover=\u00bbnull\u00bb button_border_width__hover_enabled=\u00bboff\u00bb button_border_width__hover=\u00bbnull\u00bb button_one_border_width__hover_enabled=\u00bboff\u00bb button_one_border_width__hover=\u00bbnull\u00bb button_two_border_width__hover_enabled=\u00bboff\u00bb button_two_border_width__hover=\u00bbnull\u00bb button_border_color__hover_enabled=\u00bbon\u00bb button_border_color__hover=\u00bbrgba(204,51,0,0.64)\u00bb button_one_border_color__hover_enabled=\u00bboff\u00bb button_one_border_color__hover=\u00bbnull\u00bb button_two_border_color__hover_enabled=\u00bboff\u00bb button_two_border_color__hover=\u00bbnull\u00bb button_border_radius__hover_enabled=\u00bboff\u00bb button_border_radius__hover=\u00bbnull\u00bb button_one_border_radius__hover_enabled=\u00bboff\u00bb button_one_border_radius__hover=\u00bbnull\u00bb button_two_border_radius__hover_enabled=\u00bboff\u00bb button_two_border_radius__hover=\u00bbnull\u00bb button_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=\u00bboff\u00bb button_letter_spacing__hover=\u00bbnull\u00bb button_one_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=\u00bboff\u00bb button_one_letter_spacing__hover=\u00bbnull\u00bb button_two_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=\u00bboff\u00bb button_two_letter_spacing__hover=\u00bbnull\u00bb button_bg_color__hover_enabled=\u00bbon\u00bb button_bg_color__hover=\u00bbrgba(204,51,0,0.64)\u00bb button_one_bg_color__hover_enabled=\u00bboff\u00bb button_one_bg_color__hover=\u00bbnull\u00bb button_two_bg_color__hover_enabled=\u00bboff\u00bb button_two_bg_color__hover=\u00bbnull\u00bb \/][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section bb_built=\u00bb1″ specialty=\u00bboff\u00bb _builder_version=\u00bb3.12″ background_color=\u00bb#1f4e79″ prev_background_color=\u00bb#ffffff\u00bb inner_width=\u00bb90%\u00bb inner_max_width=\u00bb1200px\u00bb][et_pb_row][et_pb_column type=\u00bb2_3″ custom_padding__hover=\u00bb|||\u00bb custom_padding=\u00bb|||\u00bb][et_pb_text _builder_version=\u00bb3.12″ text_text_color=\u00bb#ffffff\u00bb header_6_font=\u00bbABeeZee||||||||\u00bb header_6_text_color=\u00bb#ffffff\u00bb header_6_font_size=\u00bb16px\u00bb text_orientation=\u00bbleft\u00bb]<\/p>\n Grupo de Investigaci\u00f3n Reconocido de la Universidad de Valladolid [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=\u00bb1_3″ custom_padding__hover=\u00bb|||\u00bb custom_padding=\u00bb|||\u00bb][et_pb_image admin_label=\u00bbLogo Insisoc\u00bb _builder_version=\u00bb3.12″ src=\u00bbhttps:\/\/www.insisoc.uva.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/dorado-esquinas-transp.png\u00bb url=\u00bbhttps:\/\/www.insisoc.uva.es\u00bb url_new_window=\u00bbon\u00bb custom_margin=\u00bb30px|||\u00bb align_last_edited=\u00bbon|desktop\u00bb align_tablet=\u00bbcenter\u00bb \/][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The aim of this project was to justify and to illustrate with two case studies the use of agent-based modeling (ABM) as a modeling tool for domestic water management in metropolitan regions.
