Compram: a method for handling complex societal problems
The Compram method is a
method for analyzing complex societal problems
developed by DeTombe (1994). Compram stands for Complex
Problem Analyzing Method.
Societal problems are complex, difficult to handle,
interdisciplinary and have often a huge impact on society. They
involve a great number of phenomena and parties. Each party has
it's own goals, interest and power. Societal problems change
constantly, are seldom well defined, and data and knowledge
needed for handling the problem are missing.
Ecological and economic modelling in agricultural land use scenarios
The work presented is part of a multidisciplinary research project, addressing the consequences of changes in agricultural production with respect to ecology, environment and economy. In this paper, focus is put upon linking vegetation ecology and farm economy. Ecological effects are assessed in terms of type, area and fragmentation of biotopes at landscape level. Assessment is based upon the output of a spatial detailed Biotope Landscape Model, describing the distribution of plant communities and nature types in Danish natural and semi-natural terrestrial biotopes.
