Episode Map for Stakeholder Engagement in Co-Creating Modeling
摘要
This paper proposed an Episode Map framework that captures the characteristics of stakeholders’ behavior and values to foster community engagement. Using the information obtained from Episode Map, we construct a simulation that reflects stakeholders’ worldviews and behaviors and create a game in which stakeholders can recognize that there are agents who behave similarly to them. Episode Map is a component in the process of co-creating modeling that is essential to create a valid behavior model necessary for stakeholders to consider simulation and policies as one’s own affair. Also, we applied the prototype Episode Map to the case of Yawata City. As a result, we obtained much realistic qualitative information, which is difficult for researchers to grasp. Furthermore, we gained insights to revise a framework that can be applied to various regions and made revisions based on the findings.
