Neo-classical Economics

and Ecological Economics

Tools for establishing Economic value at the margin for people

Cost Benefit Analysis (CBA)

bull Options benefits and assumptions have to be clear

bull Project-oriented rather than systems-oriented

bull lsquoAll-else-is-equalrsquo needs to be agreed upon at least in the short run

bull Cost and benefits have distributive aspects

bull Are the benefits from a CBA bigger than the cost of a CBA

bull See CBA report of 5 options from IFS on wwwifsorg

Cost Effectiveness Analysis (CEA)

bull Determine a specific measurable achievable realistic time bound goal

bull Develop alternative pathways toward that goal

bull Calculate the cost toward that goal

bull Reveal all assumptions to get to goal

Economic Impact Analysis (EIA)

bull Traces dollars and employment through economic sectors at local and national level

bull Limited to lsquoeconomicrsquo activities only price isnrsquot equal to value

bull What is good for local level isnrsquot always good for national level

bull Example EIA report of 5 options from IFS on

Balancing Use and Non-Use Values at the margin

Marginal Use value Marginal Non-Use value

Neo-classical Economist Ecological Economist

bull Because worldview is different

bull Human Capital challenge

bull At the margin trade-offs also has limitations ndash limited substitutability not optimization but systems challenge

bull All approaches require context on ecological scale fairness of distribution and efficiency of allocation

Non-market valuation in NZ

bull Rarely influential in practical public policy

bull Environment Court limitations

bull Existing studies are ad hoc and often not well tailored to illuminating specific trade-offs at the margin

bull Benefit transfer requires context

Where we agreehellip

bull NMV techniques can be informative of trade-offs and relative values in certain circumstances

bull Test results for consistency with observed behaviour

bull Preference order is useful even if $ values doubtful

bull Do NMV more often and better to articulate choices

bull Cost of primary study precludes use in all cases

Assumptions behind Economic Valuation bull Value = Price

bull System of National Accounting (SNA)

bull Growth (of Gross Domestic Product - GDP)

bull lsquoAll-else-equalrsquo ndash Ceteris Paribus

bull People behave like rational utilitarians

bull Ecosystem is substitutable rather than fundamental or complementary to the Economy

Places to intervene in a system

Meadows D 2010 Leverage Points Places to Intervene in a System Solutions 1(1)41-49

1 Numbers constants parameters (taxes subsidies etc)

2 Size of buffers and stabilizing stocks relative to their flows

3 Structure of material flows (transport network age of population)

4 Length of delays relative to rates of change

5 Strength of negative feedback loops

6 The gain of driving positive feedback loops

7 The structure of information flows (who does and doesnrsquot have information)

8 The rules of the system (incentives punishments constraints)

9 The power to change evolve self-organize

10 Changing the goals of the system

11 The mindset or paradigm out of which rules structure parameters arise

12 The power to transcend paradigms

Our most important challenge

To create and communicate a shared vision of a

sustainable and desirable future

Assumptions over time

Scenario 1 ndash what if there is no limit of for urban areasprawl

Then population will more than double

Scenario 1

Sprawl may reduce the sedimentation under the assumption that runoff

from urban areas are lower than from pasture

Urban area is mainly converted pasture in this model

Sensitivities

bull Insert delays of responses to actions

Example lsquoFindings lsquo helliphellip etc bull Is the model at a point where it can be communicated

usefully

bull There continues to be a need for land use and data translation and compilation and understanding from an integrated systems perspective

bull The benefits of the aggregated systems approach is that it allows several separate conversations to come together and identify the need for leadership in the absence of ldquodata and certaintyrdquo

bull The disadvantage of the aggregated approach is the lack of spatial explicitness the on-going wish for more data to increase the understanding of the system

bull

Example lsquoRecommendation 1rsquo hellipetc bull It was clearly very important to consider the cultural ldquovoicerdquo

during workshop discussions However we didnrsquot attempt to model this A future adapted version of the model could include the results of the on-going Cultural Health Indicator study that is proposed for the next phase of MTM

bull An lsquooffset rates systemrsquo is required to help pay for the maintainance of important ecosystems in Tauranga harbour Initiate impact feesdispensations for ecosystem damagerestoration initiatives A Centralised Hub to deal with all issues with all councils working together alongside key community representatives This observation included the idea to explore payment for ecosystem services

Tools for establishing Economic value at the margin for people

Cost Benefit Analysis (CBA)

bull Options benefits and assumptions have to be clear

bull Project-oriented rather than systems-oriented

bull lsquoAll-else-is-equalrsquo needs to be agreed upon at least in the short run

bull Cost and benefits have distributive aspects

bull Are the benefits from a CBA bigger than the cost of a CBA

bull See CBA report of 5 options from IFS on wwwifsorg

Cost Effectiveness Analysis (CEA)

bull Determine a specific measurable achievable realistic time bound goal

bull Develop alternative pathways toward that goal

bull Calculate the cost toward that goal

bull Reveal all assumptions to get to goal

Economic Impact Analysis (EIA)

bull Traces dollars and employment through economic sectors at local and national level

bull Limited to lsquoeconomicrsquo activities only price isnrsquot equal to value

bull Existing studies are ad hoc and often not well tailored to illuminating specific trade-offs at the margin

bull Benefit transfer requires context

bull NMV techniques can be informative of trade-offs and relative values in certain circumstances

Assumptions in the structure

Assumptions over time

Scenario 1 ndash what if there is no limit of for urban areasprawl

Then population will more than double

Scenario 1

Sprawl may reduce the sedimentation under the assumption that runoff

from urban areas are lower than from pasture

Urban area is mainly converted pasture in this model

Sensitivities

Ecosystem service value very sensitive to assumed ldquoES valuesrdquo

Blue line base setting mainly based on generic values

Red line maximum values

Recommendation continue investigation in ES for Tauranga

bull Dynamic economic sector and interconnection with ecosystems

bull Ecosystem service ldquoproduction curvesrdquo

bull Solution ldquoproduction curvesrdquo

bull Insert delays of responses to actions

Example lsquoFindings lsquo helliphellip etc bull Is the model at a point where it can be communicated

usefully

bull There continues to be a need for land use and data translation and compilation and understanding from an integrated systems perspective

bull The benefits of the aggregated systems approach is that it allows several separate conversations to come together and identify the need for leadership in the absence of ldquodata and certaintyrdquo

bull The disadvantage of the aggregated approach is the lack of spatial explicitness the on-going wish for more data to increase the understanding of the system

bull

Example lsquoRecommendation 1rsquo hellipetc bull It was clearly very important to consider the cultural ldquovoicerdquo

during workshop discussions However we didnrsquot attempt to model this A future adapted version of the model could include the results of the on-going Cultural Health Indicator study that is proposed for the next phase of MTM

bull An lsquooffset rates systemrsquo is required to help pay for the maintainance of important ecosystems in Tauranga harbour Initiate impact feesdispensations for ecosystem damagerestoration initiatives A Centralised Hub to deal with all issues with all councils working together alongside key community representatives This observation included the idea to explore payment for ecosystem services

Tools for establishing Economic value at the margin for people

Cost Benefit Analysis (CBA)

bull Options benefits and assumptions have to be clear

bull Project-oriented rather than systems-oriented

bull lsquoAll-else-is-equalrsquo needs to be agreed upon at least in the short run

bull Cost and benefits have distributive aspects

bull Are the benefits from a CBA bigger than the cost of a CBA

bull See CBA report of 5 options from IFS on wwwifsorg

Cost Effectiveness Analysis (CEA)

bull Determine a specific measurable achievable realistic time bound goal

bull Develop alternative pathways toward that goal

bull Calculate the cost toward that goal

bull Reveal all assumptions to get to goal

Economic Impact Analysis (EIA)

bull Traces dollars and employment through economic sectors at local and national level

bull Limited to lsquoeconomicrsquo activities only price isnrsquot equal to value

bull What is good for local level isnrsquot always good for national level

bull Because worldview is different

bull Human Capital challenge

bull At the margin trade-offs also has limitations ndash limited substitutability not optimization but systems challenge

bull All approaches require context on ecological scale fairness of distribution and efficiency of allocation

Non-market valuation in NZ

bull Rarely influential in practical public policy

bull Environment Court limitations

bull Existing studies are ad hoc and often not well tailored to illuminating specific trade-offs at the margin

bull Benefit transfer requires context

Where we agreehellip

bull NMV techniques can be informative of trade-offs and relative values in certain circumstances

bull Test results for consistency with observed behaviour

bull Preference order is useful even if $ values doubtful

1 Numbers constants parameters (taxes subsidies etc)

2 Size of buffers and stabilizing stocks relative to their flows

3 Structure of material flows (transport network age of population)

4 Length of delays relative to rates of change

5 Strength of negative feedback loops

6 The gain of driving positive feedback loops

7 The structure of information flows (who does and doesnrsquot have information)

8 The rules of the system (incentives punishments constraints)

9 The power to change evolve self-organize

10 Changing the goals of the system

11 The mindset or paradigm out of which rules structure parameters arise

12 The power to transcend paradigms

Assumptions in the structure

Assumptions over time

Scenario 1 ndash what if there is no limit of for urban areasprawl

Then population will more than double

Scenario 1

Sprawl may reduce the sedimentation under the assumption that runoff

from urban areas are lower than from pasture

Urban area is mainly converted pasture in this model

Sensitivities

Ecosystem service value very sensitive to assumed ldquoES valuesrdquo

Blue line base setting mainly based on generic values

Red line maximum values

bull Cultural Health indicator

bull Dynamic economic sector and interconnection with ecosystems

bull Ecosystem service ldquoproduction curvesrdquo

bull Solution ldquoproduction curvesrdquo

bull Insert delays of responses to actions

Example lsquoFindings lsquo helliphellip etc bull Is the model at a point where it can be communicated

usefully

bull There continues to be a need for land use and data translation and compilation and understanding from an integrated systems perspective

bull The benefits of the aggregated systems approach is that it allows several separate conversations to come together and identify the need for leadership in the absence of ldquodata and certaintyrdquo

bull The disadvantage of the aggregated approach is the lack of spatial explicitness the on-going wish for more data to increase the understanding of the system

bull

Example lsquoRecommendation 1rsquo hellipetc bull It was clearly very important to consider the cultural ldquovoicerdquo

during workshop discussions However we didnrsquot attempt to model this A future adapted version of the model could include the results of the on-going Cultural Health Indicator study that is proposed for the next phase of MTM

bull An lsquooffset rates systemrsquo is required to help pay for the maintainance of important ecosystems in Tauranga harbour Initiate impact feesdispensations for ecosystem damagerestoration initiatives A Centralised Hub to deal with all issues with all councils working together alongside key community representatives This observation included the idea to explore payment for ecosystem services

and Ecological Economics

Tools for establishing Economic value at the margin for people

Cost Benefit Analysis (CBA)

bull Options benefits and assumptions have to be clear

bull Project-oriented rather than systems-oriented

bull lsquoAll-else-is-equalrsquo needs to be agreed upon at least in the short run

bull Cost and benefits have distributive aspects

bull Are the benefits from a CBA bigger than the cost of a CBA

bull See CBA report of 5 options from IFS on wwwifsorg

Cost Effectiveness Analysis (CEA)

bull Determine a specific measurable achievable realistic time bound goal

bull Develop alternative pathways toward that goal

bull Calculate the cost toward that goal

bull Reveal all assumptions to get to goal

Economic Impact Analysis (EIA)

bull Traces dollars and employment through economic sectors at local and national level

bull Limited to lsquoeconomicrsquo activities only price isnrsquot equal to value

bull What is good for local level isnrsquot always good for national level

3 Structure of material flows (transport network age of population)

4 Length of delays relative to rates of change

5 Strength of negative feedback loops

6 The gain of driving positive feedback loops

7 The structure of information flows (who does and doesnrsquot have information)

9 The power to change evolve self-organize

10 Changing the goals of the system

Our most important challenge

To create and communicate a shared vision of a

sustainable and desirable future

futures can inform present decisions

Then population will more than double

Scenario 1

Sprawl may reduce the sedimentation under the assumption that runoff

from urban areas are lower than from pasture

Urban area is mainly converted pasture in this model

Example lsquoFindings lsquo helliphellip etc bull Is the model at a point where it can be communicated

usefully

bull There continues to be a need for land use and data translation and compilation and understanding from an integrated systems perspective

bull The benefits of the aggregated systems approach is that it allows several separate conversations to come together and identify the need for leadership in the absence of ldquodata and certaintyrdquo

bull The disadvantage of the aggregated approach is the lack of spatial explicitness the on-going wish for more data to increase the understanding of the system

bull

Example lsquoRecommendation 1rsquo hellipetc bull It was clearly very important to consider the cultural ldquovoicerdquo

during workshop discussions However we didnrsquot attempt to model this A future adapted version of the model could include the results of the on-going Cultural Health Indicator study that is proposed for the next phase of MTM

Tools for establishing Economic value at the margin for people

Cost Benefit Analysis (CBA)

bull Options benefits and assumptions have to be clear

bull Project-oriented rather than systems-oriented

bull lsquoAll-else-is-equalrsquo needs to be agreed upon at least in the short run

bull Cost and benefits have distributive aspects

bull Are the benefits from a CBA bigger than the cost of a CBA

bull See CBA report of 5 options from IFS on wwwifsorg

Cost Effectiveness Analysis (CEA)

bull Determine a specific measurable achievable realistic time bound goal

bull Develop alternative pathways toward that goal

bull Calculate the cost toward that goal

bull Reveal all assumptions to get to goal

Economic Impact Analysis (EIA)

bull Traces dollars and employment through economic sectors at local and national level

bull Limited to lsquoeconomicrsquo activities only price isnrsquot equal to value

bull What is good for local level isnrsquot always good for national level

Assumptions over time

Scenario 1 ndash what if there is no limit of for urban areasprawl

Then population will more than double

Scenario 1

Sprawl may reduce the sedimentation under the assumption that runoff

from urban areas are lower than from pasture

Urban area is mainly converted pasture in this model

Sensitivities

bull Insert delays of responses to actions

Example lsquoFindings lsquo helliphellip etc bull Is the model at a point where it can be communicated

usefully

bull There continues to be a need for land use and data translation and compilation and understanding from an integrated systems perspective

bull The benefits of the aggregated systems approach is that it allows several separate conversations to come together and identify the need for leadership in the absence of ldquodata and certaintyrdquo

bull The disadvantage of the aggregated approach is the lack of spatial explicitness the on-going wish for more data to increase the understanding of the system

bull

Example lsquoRecommendation 1rsquo hellipetc bull It was clearly very important to consider the cultural ldquovoicerdquo

during workshop discussions However we didnrsquot attempt to model this A future adapted version of the model could include the results of the on-going Cultural Health Indicator study that is proposed for the next phase of MTM

Cost Benefit Analysis (CBA)

bull Options benefits and assumptions have to be clear

bull Project-oriented rather than systems-oriented

bull lsquoAll-else-is-equalrsquo needs to be agreed upon at least in the short run

bull Cost and benefits have distributive aspects

bull Are the benefits from a CBA bigger than the cost of a CBA

bull See CBA report of 5 options from IFS on wwwifsorg

Cost Effectiveness Analysis (CEA)

bull Determine a specific measurable achievable realistic time bound goal

bull Develop alternative pathways toward that goal

bull Calculate the cost toward that goal

bull Reveal all assumptions to get to goal

Economic Impact Analysis (EIA)

bull Traces dollars and employment through economic sectors at local and national level

bull Limited to lsquoeconomicrsquo activities only price isnrsquot equal to value

bull What is good for local level isnrsquot always good for national level

Neo-classical Economist Ecological Economist

bull Because worldview is different

bull Human Capital challenge

bull At the margin trade-offs also has limitations ndash limited substitutability not optimization but systems challenge

bull All approaches require context on ecological scale fairness of distribution and efficiency of allocation

Non-market valuation in NZ

bull Rarely influential in practical public policy

bull Environment Court limitations

bull Existing studies are ad hoc and often not well tailored to illuminating specific trade-offs at the margin

bull Benefit transfer requires context

Where we agreehellip

bull NMV techniques can be informative of trade-offs and relative values in certain circumstances

bull Test results for consistency with observed behaviour

bull Preference order is useful even if $ values doubtful

2 Size of buffers and stabilizing stocks relative to their flows

3 Structure of material flows (transport network age of population)

4 Length of delays relative to rates of change

5 Strength of negative feedback loops

6 The gain of driving positive feedback loops

7 The structure of information flows (who does and doesnrsquot have information)

8 The rules of the system (incentives punishments constraints)

9 The power to change evolve self-organize

Assumptions in the structure

Assumptions over time

Scenario 1 ndash what if there is no limit of for urban areasprawl

Then population will more than double

Scenario 1

Sprawl may reduce the sedimentation under the assumption that runoff

from urban areas are lower than from pasture

Urban area is mainly converted pasture in this model

Sensitivities

Ecosystem service value very sensitive to assumed ldquoES valuesrdquo

Blue line base setting mainly based on generic values

Red line maximum values

bull Insert delays of responses to actions

Example lsquoFindings lsquo helliphellip etc bull Is the model at a point where it can be communicated

usefully

bull There continues to be a need for land use and data translation and compilation and understanding from an integrated systems perspective

bull The benefits of the aggregated systems approach is that it allows several separate conversations to come together and identify the need for leadership in the absence of ldquodata and certaintyrdquo

bull The disadvantage of the aggregated approach is the lack of spatial explicitness the on-going wish for more data to increase the understanding of the system

bull

Example lsquoRecommendation 1rsquo hellipetc bull It was clearly very important to consider the cultural ldquovoicerdquo

during workshop discussions However we didnrsquot attempt to model this A future adapted version of the model could include the results of the on-going Cultural Health Indicator study that is proposed for the next phase of MTM

bull An lsquooffset rates systemrsquo is required to help pay for the maintainance of important ecosystems in Tauranga harbour Initiate impact feesdispensations for ecosystem damagerestoration initiatives A Centralised Hub to deal with all issues with all councils working together alongside key community representatives This observation included the idea to explore payment for ecosystem services

Assumptions in the structure

Assumptions over time

Scenario 1 ndash what if there is no limit of for urban areasprawl

Then population will more than double

Scenario 1

Sprawl may reduce the sedimentation under the assumption that runoff

from urban areas are lower than from pasture

Urban area is mainly converted pasture in this model

Sensitivities

Ecosystem service value very sensitive to assumed ldquoES valuesrdquo

Blue line base setting mainly based on generic values

Red line maximum values

Recommendation continue investigation in ES for Tauranga

bull Cultural Health indicator

bull Dynamic economic sector and interconnection with ecosystems

bull Ecosystem service ldquoproduction curvesrdquo

bull Solution ldquoproduction curvesrdquo

bull Link in water demand and water allocation threshold into all relevant sectors

bull Insert delays of responses to actions

Example lsquoFindings lsquo helliphellip etc bull Is the model at a point where it can be communicated

usefully

bull There continues to be a need for land use and data translation and compilation and understanding from an integrated systems perspective

bull The benefits of the aggregated systems approach is that it allows several separate conversations to come together and identify the need for leadership in the absence of ldquodata and certaintyrdquo

bull The disadvantage of the aggregated approach is the lack of spatial explicitness the on-going wish for more data to increase the understanding of the system

bull

Example lsquoRecommendation 1rsquo hellipetc bull It was clearly very important to consider the cultural ldquovoicerdquo

during workshop discussions However we didnrsquot attempt to model this A future adapted version of the model could include the results of the on-going Cultural Health Indicator study that is proposed for the next phase of MTM

bull An lsquooffset rates systemrsquo is required to help pay for the maintainance of important ecosystems in Tauranga harbour Initiate impact feesdispensations for ecosystem damagerestoration initiatives A Centralised Hub to deal with all issues with all councils working together alongside key community representatives This observation included the idea to explore payment for ecosystem services

bull Because worldview is different

bull Human Capital challenge

bull At the margin trade-offs also has limitations ndash limited substitutability not optimization but systems challenge

bull All approaches require context on ecological scale fairness of distribution and efficiency of allocation

Non-market valuation in NZ

bull Rarely influential in practical public policy

bull Environment Court limitations

bull Existing studies are ad hoc and often not well tailored to illuminating specific trade-offs at the margin

bull Benefit transfer requires context

Where we agreehellip

bull NMV techniques can be informative of trade-offs and relative values in certain circumstances

bull Test results for consistency with observed behaviour

bull Preference order is useful even if $ values doubtful

1 Numbers constants parameters (taxes subsidies etc)

2 Size of buffers and stabilizing stocks relative to their flows

3 Structure of material flows (transport network age of population)

4 Length of delays relative to rates of change

5 Strength of negative feedback loops

6 The gain of driving positive feedback loops

7 The structure of information flows (who does and doesnrsquot have information)

8 The rules of the system (incentives punishments constraints)

9 The power to change evolve self-organize

10 Changing the goals of the system

11 The mindset or paradigm out of which rules structure parameters arise

12 The power to transcend paradigms

Our most important challenge

To create and communicate a shared vision of a

Assumptions in the structure

Assumptions over time

Scenario 1 ndash what if there is no limit of for urban areasprawl

Then population will more than double

Scenario 1

Sprawl may reduce the sedimentation under the assumption that runoff

from urban areas are lower than from pasture

Urban area is mainly converted pasture in this model

Sensitivities

Ecosystem service value very sensitive to assumed ldquoES valuesrdquo

Blue line base setting mainly based on generic values

Red line maximum values

bull Ecosystem service ldquoproduction curvesrdquo

bull Solution ldquoproduction curvesrdquo

bull Insert delays of responses to actions

Example lsquoFindings lsquo helliphellip etc bull Is the model at a point where it can be communicated

usefully

bull There continues to be a need for land use and data translation and compilation and understanding from an integrated systems perspective

bull The benefits of the aggregated systems approach is that it allows several separate conversations to come together and identify the need for leadership in the absence of ldquodata and certaintyrdquo

bull The disadvantage of the aggregated approach is the lack of spatial explicitness the on-going wish for more data to increase the understanding of the system

bull

Example lsquoRecommendation 1rsquo hellipetc bull It was clearly very important to consider the cultural ldquovoicerdquo

during workshop discussions However we didnrsquot attempt to model this A future adapted version of the model could include the results of the on-going Cultural Health Indicator study that is proposed for the next phase of MTM

bull An lsquooffset rates systemrsquo is required to help pay for the maintainance of important ecosystems in Tauranga harbour Initiate impact feesdispensations for ecosystem damagerestoration initiatives A Centralised Hub to deal with all issues with all councils working together alongside key community representatives This observation included the idea to explore payment for ecosystem services

2 Size of buffers and stabilizing stocks relative to their flows

3 Structure of material flows (transport network age of population)

4 Length of delays relative to rates of change

5 Strength of negative feedback loops

6 The gain of driving positive feedback loops

7 The structure of information flows (who does and doesnrsquot have information)

8 The rules of the system (incentives punishments constraints)

9 The power to change evolve self-organize

10 Changing the goals of the system

11 The mindset or paradigm out of which rules structure parameters arise

12 The power to transcend paradigms

Our most important challenge

To create and communicate a shared vision of a

sustainable and desirable future

futures can inform present decisions

Scenario 1 ndash what if there is no limit of for urban areasprawl

Then population will more than double

Scenario 1

Sprawl may reduce the sedimentation under the assumption that runoff

from urban areas are lower than from pasture

Urban area is mainly converted pasture in this model

Example lsquoFindings lsquo helliphellip etc bull Is the model at a point where it can be communicated

usefully

bull There continues to be a need for land use and data translation and compilation and understanding from an integrated systems perspective

bull The benefits of the aggregated systems approach is that it allows several separate conversations to come together and identify the need for leadership in the absence of ldquodata and certaintyrdquo

bull The disadvantage of the aggregated approach is the lack of spatial explicitness the on-going wish for more data to increase the understanding of the system

bull

Example lsquoRecommendation 1rsquo hellipetc bull It was clearly very important to consider the cultural ldquovoicerdquo

during workshop discussions However we didnrsquot attempt to model this A future adapted version of the model could include the results of the on-going Cultural Health Indicator study that is proposed for the next phase of MTM

bull An lsquooffset rates systemrsquo is required to help pay for the maintainance of important ecosystems in Tauranga harbour Initiate impact feesdispensations for ecosystem damagerestoration initiatives A Centralised Hub to deal with all issues with all councils working together alongside key community representatives This observation included the idea to explore payment for ecosystem services

futures can inform present decisions

Assumptions over time

Scenario 1 ndash what if there is no limit of for urban areasprawl

Then population will more than double

Scenario 1

Sprawl may reduce the sedimentation under the assumption that runoff

from urban areas are lower than from pasture

Urban area is mainly converted pasture in this model

Sensitivities

bull Insert delays of responses to actions

Example lsquoFindings lsquo helliphellip etc bull Is the model at a point where it can be communicated

usefully

bull There continues to be a need for land use and data translation and compilation and understanding from an integrated systems perspective

bull The benefits of the aggregated systems approach is that it allows several separate conversations to come together and identify the need for leadership in the absence of ldquodata and certaintyrdquo

bull The disadvantage of the aggregated approach is the lack of spatial explicitness the on-going wish for more data to increase the understanding of the system

bull

Example lsquoRecommendation 1rsquo hellipetc bull It was clearly very important to consider the cultural ldquovoicerdquo

during workshop discussions However we didnrsquot attempt to model this A future adapted version of the model could include the results of the on-going Cultural Health Indicator study that is proposed for the next phase of MTM

bull An lsquooffset rates systemrsquo is required to help pay for the maintainance of important ecosystems in Tauranga harbour Initiate impact feesdispensations for ecosystem damagerestoration initiatives A Centralised Hub to deal with all issues with all councils working together alongside key community representatives This observation included the idea to explore payment for ecosystem services

Neo-classical Economist Ecological Economist

bull Because worldview is different

bull Human Capital challenge

bull At the margin trade-offs also has limitations ndash limited substitutability not optimization but systems challenge

bull All approaches require context on ecological scale fairness of distribution and efficiency of allocation

Non-market valuation in NZ

bull Rarely influential in practical public policy

bull Environment Court limitations

bull Existing studies are ad hoc and often not well tailored to illuminating specific trade-offs at the margin

bull Benefit transfer requires context

Where we agreehellip

bull NMV techniques can be informative of trade-offs and relative values in certain circumstances

bull Test results for consistency with observed behaviour

bull Preference order is useful even if $ values doubtful

Assumptions over time

Scenario 1 ndash what if there is no limit of for urban areasprawl

Then population will more than double

Scenario 1

Sprawl may reduce the sedimentation under the assumption that runoff

from urban areas are lower than from pasture

Urban area is mainly converted pasture in this model

Sensitivities

Ecosystem service value very sensitive to assumed ldquoES valuesrdquo

Blue line base setting mainly based on generic values

Red line maximum values

Recommendation continue investigation in ES for Tauranga

bull Shellfish and seafood population changes and their causes

bull Cultural Health indicator

bull Dynamic economic sector and interconnection with ecosystems

bull Ecosystem service ldquoproduction curvesrdquo

bull Solution ldquoproduction curvesrdquo

bull Link in water demand and water allocation threshold into all relevant sectors

bull Insert delays of responses to actions

Example lsquoFindings lsquo helliphellip etc bull Is the model at a point where it can be communicated

usefully

bull There continues to be a need for land use and data translation and compilation and understanding from an integrated systems perspective

bull The benefits of the aggregated systems approach is that it allows several separate conversations to come together and identify the need for leadership in the absence of ldquodata and certaintyrdquo

bull The disadvantage of the aggregated approach is the lack of spatial explicitness the on-going wish for more data to increase the understanding of the system

bull

Assumptions in the structure

Assumptions over time

Scenario 1 ndash what if there is no limit of for urban areasprawl

Then population will more than double

Scenario 1

Sprawl may reduce the sedimentation under the assumption that runoff

from urban areas are lower than from pasture

Urban area is mainly converted pasture in this model

Sensitivities

Ecosystem service value very sensitive to assumed ldquoES valuesrdquo

Blue line base setting mainly based on generic values

Red line maximum values

bull Insert delays of responses to actions

Example lsquoFindings lsquo helliphellip etc bull Is the model at a point where it can be communicated

usefully

bull There continues to be a need for land use and data translation and compilation and understanding from an integrated systems perspective

bull The benefits of the aggregated systems approach is that it allows several separate conversations to come together and identify the need for leadership in the absence of ldquodata and certaintyrdquo

bull The disadvantage of the aggregated approach is the lack of spatial explicitness the on-going wish for more data to increase the understanding of the system

bull

Example lsquoRecommendation 1rsquo hellipetc bull It was clearly very important to consider the cultural ldquovoicerdquo

during workshop discussions However we didnrsquot attempt to model this A future adapted version of the model could include the results of the on-going Cultural Health Indicator study that is proposed for the next phase of MTM

bull An lsquooffset rates systemrsquo is required to help pay for the maintainance of important ecosystems in Tauranga harbour Initiate impact feesdispensations for ecosystem damagerestoration initiatives A Centralised Hub to deal with all issues with all councils working together alongside key community representatives This observation included the idea to explore payment for ecosystem services

Assumptions in the structure

Assumptions over time

Scenario 1 ndash what if there is no limit of for urban areasprawl

Then population will more than double

Scenario 1

Sprawl may reduce the sedimentation under the assumption that runoff

from urban areas are lower than from pasture

Urban area is mainly converted pasture in this model

Sensitivities

Ecosystem service value very sensitive to assumed ldquoES valuesrdquo

Blue line base setting mainly based on generic values

Red line maximum values

bull Insert delays of responses to actions

Example lsquoFindings lsquo helliphellip etc bull Is the model at a point where it can be communicated

usefully

bull There continues to be a need for land use and data translation and compilation and understanding from an integrated systems perspective

bull The benefits of the aggregated systems approach is that it allows several separate conversations to come together and identify the need for leadership in the absence of ldquodata and certaintyrdquo

bull The disadvantage of the aggregated approach is the lack of spatial explicitness the on-going wish for more data to increase the understanding of the system

bull

Example lsquoRecommendation 1rsquo hellipetc bull It was clearly very important to consider the cultural ldquovoicerdquo

during workshop discussions However we didnrsquot attempt to model this A future adapted version of the model could include the results of the on-going Cultural Health Indicator study that is proposed for the next phase of MTM

bull An lsquooffset rates systemrsquo is required to help pay for the maintainance of important ecosystems in Tauranga harbour Initiate impact feesdispensations for ecosystem damagerestoration initiatives A Centralised Hub to deal with all issues with all councils working together alongside key community representatives This observation included the idea to explore payment for ecosystem services

Balancing Use and Non-Use Values at the margin

Marginal Use value Marginal Non-Use value

Neo-classical Economist Ecological Economist

bull Because worldview is different

bull Human Capital challenge

bull At the margin trade-offs also has limitations ndash limited substitutability not optimization but systems challenge

bull All approaches require context on ecological scale fairness of distribution and efficiency of allocation

Non-market valuation in NZ

bull Rarely influential in practical public policy

bull Environment Court limitations

bull Existing studies are ad hoc and often not well tailored to illuminating specific trade-offs at the margin

bull Benefit transfer requires context

Where we agreehellip

bull NMV techniques can be informative of trade-offs and relative values in certain circumstances

bull Test results for consistency with observed behaviour

bull Preference order is useful even if $ values doubtful

bull Do NMV more often and better to articulate choices

3 Structure of material flows (transport network age of population)

4 Length of delays relative to rates of change

5 Strength of negative feedback loops

6 The gain of driving positive feedback loops

7 The structure of information flows (who does and doesnrsquot have information)

Assumptions over time

Scenario 1 ndash what if there is no limit of for urban areasprawl

Then population will more than double

Scenario 1

Sprawl may reduce the sedimentation under the assumption that runoff

from urban areas are lower than from pasture

Urban area is mainly converted pasture in this model

Sensitivities

Ecosystem service value very sensitive to assumed ldquoES valuesrdquo

bull Insert delays of responses to actions

Example lsquoFindings lsquo helliphellip etc bull Is the model at a point where it can be communicated

usefully

bull There continues to be a need for land use and data translation and compilation and understanding from an integrated systems perspective

bull The benefits of the aggregated systems approach is that it allows several separate conversations to come together and identify the need for leadership in the absence of ldquodata and certaintyrdquo

bull The disadvantage of the aggregated approach is the lack of spatial explicitness the on-going wish for more data to increase the understanding of the system

bull

Example lsquoRecommendation 1rsquo hellipetc bull It was clearly very important to consider the cultural ldquovoicerdquo

during workshop discussions However we didnrsquot attempt to model this A future adapted version of the model could include the results of the on-going Cultural Health Indicator study that is proposed for the next phase of MTM

bull An lsquooffset rates systemrsquo is required to help pay for the maintainance of important ecosystems in Tauranga harbour Initiate impact feesdispensations for ecosystem damagerestoration initiatives A Centralised Hub to deal with all issues with all councils working together alongside key community representatives This observation included the idea to explore payment for ecosystem services

Assumptions over time

Scenario 1 ndash what if there is no limit of for urban areasprawl

Then population will more than double

Scenario 1

Sprawl may reduce the sedimentation under the assumption that runoff

from urban areas are lower than from pasture

Urban area is mainly converted pasture in this model

Sensitivities

bull Insert delays of responses to actions

Example lsquoFindings lsquo helliphellip etc bull Is the model at a point where it can be communicated

usefully

bull There continues to be a need for land use and data translation and compilation and understanding from an integrated systems perspective

bull The benefits of the aggregated systems approach is that it allows several separate conversations to come together and identify the need for leadership in the absence of ldquodata and certaintyrdquo

bull The disadvantage of the aggregated approach is the lack of spatial explicitness the on-going wish for more data to increase the understanding of the system

bull

Example lsquoRecommendation 1rsquo hellipetc bull It was clearly very important to consider the cultural ldquovoicerdquo

during workshop discussions However we didnrsquot attempt to model this A future adapted version of the model could include the results of the on-going Cultural Health Indicator study that is proposed for the next phase of MTM

bull An lsquooffset rates systemrsquo is required to help pay for the maintainance of important ecosystems in Tauranga harbour Initiate impact feesdispensations for ecosystem damagerestoration initiatives A Centralised Hub to deal with all issues with all councils working together alongside key community representatives This observation included the idea to explore payment for ecosystem services

Assumptions in the structure

Assumptions over time

Scenario 1 ndash what if there is no limit of for urban areasprawl

Then population will more than double

Scenario 1

Sprawl may reduce the sedimentation under the assumption that runoff

from urban areas are lower than from pasture

Urban area is mainly converted pasture in this model

Sensitivities

Ecosystem service value very sensitive to assumed ldquoES valuesrdquo

Blue line base setting mainly based on generic values

Red line maximum values

bull Insert delays of responses to actions

Example lsquoFindings lsquo helliphellip etc bull Is the model at a point where it can be communicated

usefully

bull There continues to be a need for land use and data translation and compilation and understanding from an integrated systems perspective

bull The benefits of the aggregated systems approach is that it allows several separate conversations to come together and identify the need for leadership in the absence of ldquodata and certaintyrdquo

bull The disadvantage of the aggregated approach is the lack of spatial explicitness the on-going wish for more data to increase the understanding of the system

bull

Example lsquoRecommendation 1rsquo hellipetc bull It was clearly very important to consider the cultural ldquovoicerdquo

during workshop discussions However we didnrsquot attempt to model this A future adapted version of the model could include the results of the on-going Cultural Health Indicator study that is proposed for the next phase of MTM

bull An lsquooffset rates systemrsquo is required to help pay for the maintainance of important ecosystems in Tauranga harbour Initiate impact feesdispensations for ecosystem damagerestoration initiatives A Centralised Hub to deal with all issues with all councils working together alongside key community representatives This observation included the idea to explore payment for ecosystem services

Places to intervene in a system

Meadows D 2010 Leverage Points Places to Intervene in a System Solutions 1(1)41-49

1 Numbers constants parameters (taxes subsidies etc)

2 Size of buffers and stabilizing stocks relative to their flows

3 Structure of material flows (transport network age of population)

4 Length of delays relative to rates of change

5 Strength of negative feedback loops

6 The gain of driving positive feedback loops

7 The structure of information flows (who does and doesnrsquot have information)

8 The rules of the system (incentives punishments constraints)

9 The power to change evolve self-organize

10 Changing the goals of the system

11 The mindset or paradigm out of which rules structure parameters arise

12 The power to transcend paradigms

Our most important challenge

To create and communicate a shared vision of a

sustainable and desirable future

Scenario planning assumptions 1The future is unlike the past and is significantly shaped

by human choice and action

2The future cannot be foreseen but exploring possible

futures can inform present decisions

3There are many possible futures scenarios therefore map

within a lsquopossibility spacersquo

4Scenario development involves both rational analysis and

creative thinking

Assumptions in the structure

Assumptions over time

Scenario 1 ndash what if there is no limit of for urban areasprawl

Then population will more than double

Scenario 1

Sprawl may reduce the sedimentation under the assumption that runoff

from urban areas are lower than from pasture

Urban area is mainly converted pasture in this model

Sensitivities

Ecosystem service value very sensitive to assumed ldquoES valuesrdquo

Blue line base setting mainly based on generic values

Red line maximum values

bull Insert delays of responses to actions

Example lsquoFindings lsquo helliphellip etc bull Is the model at a point where it can be communicated

usefully

bull There continues to be a need for land use and data translation and compilation and understanding from an integrated systems perspective

bull The benefits of the aggregated systems approach is that it allows several separate conversations to come together and identify the need for leadership in the absence of ldquodata and certaintyrdquo

bull The disadvantage of the aggregated approach is the lack of spatial explicitness the on-going wish for more data to increase the understanding of the system

bull

Example lsquoRecommendation 1rsquo hellipetc bull It was clearly very important to consider the cultural ldquovoicerdquo

during workshop discussions However we didnrsquot attempt to model this A future adapted version of the model could include the results of the on-going Cultural Health Indicator study that is proposed for the next phase of MTM

bull An lsquooffset rates systemrsquo is required to help pay for the maintainance of important ecosystems in Tauranga harbour Initiate impact feesdispensations for ecosystem damagerestoration initiatives A Centralised Hub to deal with all issues with all councils working together alongside key community representatives This observation included the idea to explore payment for ecosystem services

bull Neo-classical economics and ecological economics differ in worldview

bull Tools and their underlying assumptions need to be used in transparent manner Eg Market and non-market based valuation discount rates crucial to understanding value perspectives

bull Ecological Economics offers a worldview of sustainable development new tools and seeks to develop adaptive capacity toward implementation

1 Numbers constants parameters (taxes subsidies etc)

2 Size of buffers and stabilizing stocks relative to their flows

3 Structure of material flows (transport network age of population)

4 Length of delays relative to rates of change

5 Strength of negative feedback loops

6 The gain of driving positive feedback loops

7 The structure of information flows (who does and doesnrsquot have information)

8 The rules of the system (incentives punishments constraints)

9 The power to change evolve self-organize

10 Changing the goals of the system

11 The mindset or paradigm out of which rules structure parameters arise

12 The power to transcend paradigms

Our most important challenge

To create and communicate a shared vision of a

sustainable and desirable future

by human choice and action

2The future cannot be foreseen but exploring possible

futures can inform present decisions

Assumptions over time

Scenario 1 ndash what if there is no limit of for urban areasprawl

Then population will more than double

Scenario 1

Sprawl may reduce the sedimentation under the assumption that runoff

from urban areas are lower than from pasture

Urban area is mainly converted pasture in this model

Sensitivities

Example lsquoFindings lsquo helliphellip etc bull Is the model at a point where it can be communicated

usefully

bull There continues to be a need for land use and data translation and compilation and understanding from an integrated systems perspective

bull The benefits of the aggregated systems approach is that it allows several separate conversations to come together and identify the need for leadership in the absence of ldquodata and certaintyrdquo

bull The disadvantage of the aggregated approach is the lack of spatial explicitness the on-going wish for more data to increase the understanding of the system

bull

Example lsquoRecommendation 1rsquo hellipetc bull It was clearly very important to consider the cultural ldquovoicerdquo

during workshop discussions However we didnrsquot attempt to model this A future adapted version of the model could include the results of the on-going Cultural Health Indicator study that is proposed for the next phase of MTM

futures can inform present decisions

Assumptions over time

Scenario 1 ndash what if there is no limit of for urban areasprawl

Then population will more than double

Scenario 1

Sprawl may reduce the sedimentation under the assumption that runoff

from urban areas are lower than from pasture

Urban area is mainly converted pasture in this model

Sensitivities

bull Insert delays of responses to actions

Example lsquoFindings lsquo helliphellip etc bull Is the model at a point where it can be communicated

usefully

bull There continues to be a need for land use and data translation and compilation and understanding from an integrated systems perspective

bull The benefits of the aggregated systems approach is that it allows several separate conversations to come together and identify the need for leadership in the absence of ldquodata and certaintyrdquo

bull The disadvantage of the aggregated approach is the lack of spatial explicitness the on-going wish for more data to increase the understanding of the system

bull

Example lsquoRecommendation 1rsquo hellipetc bull It was clearly very important to consider the cultural ldquovoicerdquo

during workshop discussions However we didnrsquot attempt to model this A future adapted version of the model could include the results of the on-going Cultural Health Indicator study that is proposed for the next phase of MTM

bull An lsquooffset rates systemrsquo is required to help pay for the maintainance of important ecosystems in Tauranga harbour Initiate impact feesdispensations for ecosystem damagerestoration initiatives A Centralised Hub to deal with all issues with all councils working together alongside key community representatives This observation included the idea to explore payment for ecosystem services

futures can inform present decisions

Assumptions over time

Scenario 1 ndash what if there is no limit of for urban areasprawl

Then population will more than double

Scenario 1

Sprawl may reduce the sedimentation under the assumption that runoff

from urban areas are lower than from pasture

Urban area is mainly converted pasture in this model

Sensitivities

bull Insert delays of responses to actions

Example lsquoFindings lsquo helliphellip etc bull Is the model at a point where it can be communicated

usefully

bull There continues to be a need for land use and data translation and compilation and understanding from an integrated systems perspective

bull The benefits of the aggregated systems approach is that it allows several separate conversations to come together and identify the need for leadership in the absence of ldquodata and certaintyrdquo

bull The disadvantage of the aggregated approach is the lack of spatial explicitness the on-going wish for more data to increase the understanding of the system

bull

Example lsquoRecommendation 1rsquo hellipetc bull It was clearly very important to consider the cultural ldquovoicerdquo

during workshop discussions However we didnrsquot attempt to model this A future adapted version of the model could include the results of the on-going Cultural Health Indicator study that is proposed for the next phase of MTM

bull An lsquooffset rates systemrsquo is required to help pay for the maintainance of important ecosystems in Tauranga harbour Initiate impact feesdispensations for ecosystem damagerestoration initiatives A Centralised Hub to deal with all issues with all councils working together alongside key community representatives This observation included the idea to explore payment for ecosystem services

Assumptions over time

Scenario 1 ndash what if there is no limit of for urban areasprawl

Then population will more than double

Scenario 1

Sprawl may reduce the sedimentation under the assumption that runoff

from urban areas are lower than from pasture

Urban area is mainly converted pasture in this model

Sensitivities

Ecosystem service value very sensitive to assumed ldquoES valuesrdquo

Blue line base setting mainly based on generic values

Red line maximum values

bull Ecosystem service ldquoproduction curvesrdquo

bull Solution ldquoproduction curvesrdquo

bull Link in water demand and water allocation threshold into all relevant sectors

bull Insert delays of responses to actions

Example lsquoFindings lsquo helliphellip etc bull Is the model at a point where it can be communicated

usefully

bull There continues to be a need for land use and data translation and compilation and understanding from an integrated systems perspective

bull The benefits of the aggregated systems approach is that it allows several separate conversations to come together and identify the need for leadership in the absence of ldquodata and certaintyrdquo

bull The disadvantage of the aggregated approach is the lack of spatial explicitness the on-going wish for more data to increase the understanding of the system

bull

Example lsquoRecommendation 1rsquo hellipetc bull It was clearly very important to consider the cultural ldquovoicerdquo

during workshop discussions However we didnrsquot attempt to model this A future adapted version of the model could include the results of the on-going Cultural Health Indicator study that is proposed for the next phase of MTM

bull An lsquooffset rates systemrsquo is required to help pay for the maintainance of important ecosystems in Tauranga harbour Initiate impact feesdispensations for ecosystem damagerestoration initiatives A Centralised Hub to deal with all issues with all councils working together alongside key community representatives This observation included the idea to explore payment for ecosystem services

Assumptions over time

Scenario 1 ndash what if there is no limit of for urban areasprawl

Then population will more than double

Scenario 1

Sprawl may reduce the sedimentation under the assumption that runoff

from urban areas are lower than from pasture

Urban area is mainly converted pasture in this model

Sensitivities

bull Insert delays of responses to actions

Example lsquoFindings lsquo helliphellip etc bull Is the model at a point where it can be communicated

usefully

bull There continues to be a need for land use and data translation and compilation and understanding from an integrated systems perspective

bull The benefits of the aggregated systems approach is that it allows several separate conversations to come together and identify the need for leadership in the absence of ldquodata and certaintyrdquo

bull The disadvantage of the aggregated approach is the lack of spatial explicitness the on-going wish for more data to increase the understanding of the system

bull

Example lsquoRecommendation 1rsquo hellipetc bull It was clearly very important to consider the cultural ldquovoicerdquo

during workshop discussions However we didnrsquot attempt to model this A future adapted version of the model could include the results of the on-going Cultural Health Indicator study that is proposed for the next phase of MTM

Assumptions in the structure

Assumptions over time

Scenario 1 ndash what if there is no limit of for urban areasprawl

Then population will more than double

Scenario 1

Sprawl may reduce the sedimentation under the assumption that runoff

from urban areas are lower than from pasture

Urban area is mainly converted pasture in this model

Sensitivities

Ecosystem service value very sensitive to assumed ldquoES valuesrdquo

Blue line base setting mainly based on generic values

Red line maximum values

Recommendation continue investigation in ES for Tauranga

Future model improvements

bull Shellfish and seafood population changes and their causes

bull Cultural Health indicator

bull Dynamic economic sector and interconnection with ecosystems

bull Ecosystem service ldquoproduction curvesrdquo

bull Solution ldquoproduction curvesrdquo

bull Link in water demand and water allocation threshold into all relevant sectors

bull Insert delays of responses to actions

Example lsquoFindings lsquo helliphellip etc bull Is the model at a point where it can be communicated

usefully

bull There continues to be a need for land use and data translation and compilation and understanding from an integrated systems perspective

bull The benefits of the aggregated systems approach is that it allows several separate conversations to come together and identify the need for leadership in the absence of ldquodata and certaintyrdquo

bull The disadvantage of the aggregated approach is the lack of spatial explicitness the on-going wish for more data to increase the understanding of the system

bull

1 Numbers constants parameters (taxes subsidies etc)

2 Size of buffers and stabilizing stocks relative to their flows

3 Structure of material flows (transport network age of population)

4 Length of delays relative to rates of change

5 Strength of negative feedback loops

6 The gain of driving positive feedback loops

7 The structure of information flows (who does and doesnrsquot have information)

8 The rules of the system (incentives punishments constraints)

9 The power to change evolve self-organize

10 Changing the goals of the system

11 The mindset or paradigm out of which rules structure parameters arise

12 The power to transcend paradigms

Our most important challenge

To create and communicate a shared vision of a

Assumptions in the structure

Assumptions over time

Scenario 1 ndash what if there is no limit of for urban areasprawl

Then population will more than double

Scenario 1

Sprawl may reduce the sedimentation under the assumption that runoff

from urban areas are lower than from pasture

Urban area is mainly converted pasture in this model

Sensitivities

Ecosystem service value very sensitive to assumed ldquoES valuesrdquo

Blue line base setting mainly based on generic values

Red line maximum values

Recommendation continue investigation in ES for Tauranga

Future model improvements

bull Shellfish and seafood population changes and their causes

bull Cultural Health indicator

bull Dynamic economic sector and interconnection with ecosystems

bull Ecosystem service ldquoproduction curvesrdquo

bull Solution ldquoproduction curvesrdquo

bull Link in water demand and water allocation threshold into all relevant sectors

bull Insert delays of responses to actions

Example lsquoFindings lsquo helliphellip etc bull Is the model at a point where it can be communicated

usefully

bull There continues to be a need for land use and data translation and compilation and understanding from an integrated systems perspective

bull The benefits of the aggregated systems approach is that it allows several separate conversations to come together and identify the need for leadership in the absence of ldquodata and certaintyrdquo

bull The disadvantage of the aggregated approach is the lack of spatial explicitness the on-going wish for more data to increase the understanding of the system

bull

Example lsquoRecommendation 1rsquo hellipetc bull It was clearly very important to consider the cultural ldquovoicerdquo

during workshop discussions However we didnrsquot attempt to model this A future adapted version of the model could include the results of the on-going Cultural Health Indicator study that is proposed for the next phase of MTM

bull An lsquooffset rates systemrsquo is required to help pay for the maintainance of important ecosystems in Tauranga harbour Initiate impact feesdispensations for ecosystem damagerestoration initiatives A Centralised Hub to deal with all issues with all councils working together alongside key community representatives This observation included the idea to explore payment for ecosystem services

2 Size of buffers and stabilizing stocks relative to their flows

3 Structure of material flows (transport network age of population)

4 Length of delays relative to rates of change

5 Strength of negative feedback loops

6 The gain of driving positive feedback loops

7 The structure of information flows (who does and doesnrsquot have information)

8 The rules of the system (incentives punishments constraints)

9 The power to change evolve self-organize

10 Changing the goals of the system

11 The mindset or paradigm out of which rules structure parameters arise

Assumptions over time

Scenario 1 ndash what if there is no limit of for urban areasprawl

Then population will more than double

Scenario 1

Sprawl may reduce the sedimentation under the assumption that runoff

from urban areas are lower than from pasture

Urban area is mainly converted pasture in this model

Sensitivities

bull Insert delays of responses to actions

Example lsquoFindings lsquo helliphellip etc bull Is the model at a point where it can be communicated

usefully

bull There continues to be a need for land use and data translation and compilation and understanding from an integrated systems perspective

bull The benefits of the aggregated systems approach is that it allows several separate conversations to come together and identify the need for leadership in the absence of ldquodata and certaintyrdquo

bull The disadvantage of the aggregated approach is the lack of spatial explicitness the on-going wish for more data to increase the understanding of the system

bull

Example lsquoRecommendation 1rsquo hellipetc bull It was clearly very important to consider the cultural ldquovoicerdquo

during workshop discussions However we didnrsquot attempt to model this A future adapted version of the model could include the results of the on-going Cultural Health Indicator study that is proposed for the next phase of MTM

bull An lsquooffset rates systemrsquo is required to help pay for the maintainance of important ecosystems in Tauranga harbour Initiate impact feesdispensations for ecosystem damagerestoration initiatives A Centralised Hub to deal with all issues with all councils working together alongside key community representatives This observation included the idea to explore payment for ecosystem services

Places to intervene in a system

Meadows D 2010 Leverage Points Places to Intervene in a System Solutions 1(1)41-49

1 Numbers constants parameters (taxes subsidies etc)

2 Size of buffers and stabilizing stocks relative to their flows

3 Structure of material flows (transport network age of population)

4 Length of delays relative to rates of change

5 Strength of negative feedback loops

6 The gain of driving positive feedback loops

7 The structure of information flows (who does and doesnrsquot have information)

8 The rules of the system (incentives punishments constraints)

9 The power to change evolve self-organize

10 Changing the goals of the system

11 The mindset or paradigm out of which rules structure parameters arise

12 The power to transcend paradigms

Our most important challenge

To create and communicate a shared vision of a

sustainable and desirable future

Assumptions over time

Scenario 1 ndash what if there is no limit of for urban areasprawl

Then population will more than double

Scenario 1

Sprawl may reduce the sedimentation under the assumption that runoff

from urban areas are lower than from pasture

Urban area is mainly converted pasture in this model

Sensitivities

Ecosystem service value very sensitive to assumed ldquoES valuesrdquo

Blue line base setting mainly based on generic values

Red line maximum values

bull Insert delays of responses to actions

Example lsquoFindings lsquo helliphellip etc bull Is the model at a point where it can be communicated

usefully

bull There continues to be a need for land use and data translation and compilation and understanding from an integrated systems perspective

bull The benefits of the aggregated systems approach is that it allows several separate conversations to come together and identify the need for leadership in the absence of ldquodata and certaintyrdquo

bull The disadvantage of the aggregated approach is the lack of spatial explicitness the on-going wish for more data to increase the understanding of the system

bull

Example lsquoRecommendation 1rsquo hellipetc bull It was clearly very important to consider the cultural ldquovoicerdquo

during workshop discussions However we didnrsquot attempt to model this A future adapted version of the model could include the results of the on-going Cultural Health Indicator study that is proposed for the next phase of MTM

bull An lsquooffset rates systemrsquo is required to help pay for the maintainance of important ecosystems in Tauranga harbour Initiate impact feesdispensations for ecosystem damagerestoration initiatives A Centralised Hub to deal with all issues with all councils working together alongside key community representatives This observation included the idea to explore payment for ecosystem services

1 Numbers constants parameters (taxes subsidies etc)

2 Size of buffers and stabilizing stocks relative to their flows

3 Structure of material flows (transport network age of population)

4 Length of delays relative to rates of change

5 Strength of negative feedback loops

6 The gain of driving positive feedback loops

7 The structure of information flows (who does and doesnrsquot have information)

8 The rules of the system (incentives punishments constraints)

9 The power to change evolve self-organize

10 Changing the goals of the system

11 The mindset or paradigm out of which rules structure parameters arise

12 The power to transcend paradigms

Our most important challenge

To create and communicate a shared vision of a

Assumptions in the structure

Assumptions over time

Scenario 1 ndash what if there is no limit of for urban areasprawl

Then population will more than double

Scenario 1

Sprawl may reduce the sedimentation under the assumption that runoff

from urban areas are lower than from pasture

Urban area is mainly converted pasture in this model

Sensitivities

Ecosystem service value very sensitive to assumed ldquoES valuesrdquo

Blue line base setting mainly based on generic values

Red line maximum values

bull Solution ldquoproduction curvesrdquo

bull Link in water demand and water allocation threshold into all relevant sectors

bull Insert delays of responses to actions

Example lsquoFindings lsquo helliphellip etc bull Is the model at a point where it can be communicated

usefully

bull There continues to be a need for land use and data translation and compilation and understanding from an integrated systems perspective

bull The benefits of the aggregated systems approach is that it allows several separate conversations to come together and identify the need for leadership in the absence of ldquodata and certaintyrdquo

bull The disadvantage of the aggregated approach is the lack of spatial explicitness the on-going wish for more data to increase the understanding of the system

bull

Example lsquoRecommendation 1rsquo hellipetc bull It was clearly very important to consider the cultural ldquovoicerdquo

during workshop discussions However we didnrsquot attempt to model this A future adapted version of the model could include the results of the on-going Cultural Health Indicator study that is proposed for the next phase of MTM

bull An lsquooffset rates systemrsquo is required to help pay for the maintainance of important ecosystems in Tauranga harbour Initiate impact feesdispensations for ecosystem damagerestoration initiatives A Centralised Hub to deal with all issues with all councils working together alongside key community representatives This observation included the idea to explore payment for ecosystem services

Places to intervene in a system

Meadows D 2010 Leverage Points Places to Intervene in a System Solutions 1(1)41-49

1 Numbers constants parameters (taxes subsidies etc)

2 Size of buffers and stabilizing stocks relative to their flows

3 Structure of material flows (transport network age of population)

4 Length of delays relative to rates of change

5 Strength of negative feedback loops

6 The gain of driving positive feedback loops

7 The structure of information flows (who does and doesnrsquot have information)

8 The rules of the system (incentives punishments constraints)

9 The power to change evolve self-organize

10 Changing the goals of the system

11 The mindset or paradigm out of which rules structure parameters arise

12 The power to transcend paradigms

Our most important challenge

To create and communicate a shared vision of a

sustainable and desirable future

Assumptions in the structure

Assumptions over time

Scenario 1 ndash what if there is no limit of for urban areasprawl

Then population will more than double

Scenario 1

Sprawl may reduce the sedimentation under the assumption that runoff

from urban areas are lower than from pasture

Urban area is mainly converted pasture in this model

Sensitivities

Ecosystem service value very sensitive to assumed ldquoES valuesrdquo

Blue line base setting mainly based on generic values

Red line maximum values

bull Ecosystem service ldquoproduction curvesrdquo

bull Solution ldquoproduction curvesrdquo

bull Link in water demand and water allocation threshold into all relevant sectors

bull Insert delays of responses to actions

Example lsquoFindings lsquo helliphellip etc bull Is the model at a point where it can be communicated

usefully

bull There continues to be a need for land use and data translation and compilation and understanding from an integrated systems perspective

bull The benefits of the aggregated systems approach is that it allows several separate conversations to come together and identify the need for leadership in the absence of ldquodata and certaintyrdquo

bull The disadvantage of the aggregated approach is the lack of spatial explicitness the on-going wish for more data to increase the understanding of the system

bull

Example lsquoRecommendation 1rsquo hellipetc bull It was clearly very important to consider the cultural ldquovoicerdquo

during workshop discussions However we didnrsquot attempt to model this A future adapted version of the model could include the results of the on-going Cultural Health Indicator study that is proposed for the next phase of MTM

bull An lsquooffset rates systemrsquo is required to help pay for the maintainance of important ecosystems in Tauranga harbour Initiate impact feesdispensations for ecosystem damagerestoration initiatives A Centralised Hub to deal with all issues with all councils working together alongside key community representatives This observation included the idea to explore payment for ecosystem services

Places to intervene in a system

Meadows D 2010 Leverage Points Places to Intervene in a System Solutions 1(1)41-49

1 Numbers constants parameters (taxes subsidies etc)

2 Size of buffers and stabilizing stocks relative to their flows

3 Structure of material flows (transport network age of population)

4 Length of delays relative to rates of change

5 Strength of negative feedback loops

6 The gain of driving positive feedback loops

7 The structure of information flows (who does and doesnrsquot have information)

8 The rules of the system (incentives punishments constraints)

9 The power to change evolve self-organize

10 Changing the goals of the system

11 The mindset or paradigm out of which rules structure parameters arise

12 The power to transcend paradigms

Our most important challenge

To create and communicate a shared vision of a

sustainable and desirable future

Assumptions in the structure

Assumptions over time

Scenario 1 ndash what if there is no limit of for urban areasprawl

Then population will more than double

Scenario 1

Sprawl may reduce the sedimentation under the assumption that runoff

from urban areas are lower than from pasture

Urban area is mainly converted pasture in this model

Sensitivities

Ecosystem service value very sensitive to assumed ldquoES valuesrdquo

Blue line base setting mainly based on generic values

Red line maximum values

bull Ecosystem service ldquoproduction curvesrdquo

bull Solution ldquoproduction curvesrdquo

bull Link in water demand and water allocation threshold into all relevant sectors

bull Insert delays of responses to actions

Example lsquoFindings lsquo helliphellip etc bull Is the model at a point where it can be communicated

usefully

bull There continues to be a need for land use and data translation and compilation and understanding from an integrated systems perspective

bull The benefits of the aggregated systems approach is that it allows several separate conversations to come together and identify the need for leadership in the absence of ldquodata and certaintyrdquo

bull The disadvantage of the aggregated approach is the lack of spatial explicitness the on-going wish for more data to increase the understanding of the system

bull

Example lsquoRecommendation 1rsquo hellipetc bull It was clearly very important to consider the cultural ldquovoicerdquo

during workshop discussions However we didnrsquot attempt to model this A future adapted version of the model could include the results of the on-going Cultural Health Indicator study that is proposed for the next phase of MTM

bull An lsquooffset rates systemrsquo is required to help pay for the maintainance of important ecosystems in Tauranga harbour Initiate impact feesdispensations for ecosystem damagerestoration initiatives A Centralised Hub to deal with all issues with all councils working together alongside key community representatives This observation included the idea to explore payment for ecosystem services

Places to intervene in a system

Meadows D 2010 Leverage Points Places to Intervene in a System Solutions 1(1)41-49

1 Numbers constants parameters (taxes subsidies etc)

2 Size of buffers and stabilizing stocks relative to their flows

3 Structure of material flows (transport network age of population)

4 Length of delays relative to rates of change

5 Strength of negative feedback loops

6 The gain of driving positive feedback loops

7 The structure of information flows (who does and doesnrsquot have information)

8 The rules of the system (incentives punishments constraints)

9 The power to change evolve self-organize

10 Changing the goals of the system

11 The mindset or paradigm out of which rules structure parameters arise

12 The power to transcend paradigms

Our most important challenge

To create and communicate a shared vision of a

sustainable and desirable future

Assumptions in the structure

Assumptions over time

Scenario 1 ndash what if there is no limit of for urban areasprawl

Then population will more than double

Scenario 1

Sprawl may reduce the sedimentation under the assumption that runoff

from urban areas are lower than from pasture

Urban area is mainly converted pasture in this model

Sensitivities

Ecosystem service value very sensitive to assumed ldquoES valuesrdquo

Blue line base setting mainly based on generic values

Red line maximum values

Recommendation continue investigation in ES for Tauranga

bull Ecosystem service ldquoproduction curvesrdquo

bull Solution ldquoproduction curvesrdquo

bull Link in water demand and water allocation threshold into all relevant sectors

bull Insert delays of responses to actions

Example lsquoFindings lsquo helliphellip etc bull Is the model at a point where it can be communicated

usefully

bull There continues to be a need for land use and data translation and compilation and understanding from an integrated systems perspective

bull The benefits of the aggregated systems approach is that it allows several separate conversations to come together and identify the need for leadership in the absence of ldquodata and certaintyrdquo

bull The disadvantage of the aggregated approach is the lack of spatial explicitness the on-going wish for more data to increase the understanding of the system

bull

Example lsquoRecommendation 1rsquo hellipetc bull It was clearly very important to consider the cultural ldquovoicerdquo

during workshop discussions However we didnrsquot attempt to model this A future adapted version of the model could include the results of the on-going Cultural Health Indicator study that is proposed for the next phase of MTM

bull An lsquooffset rates systemrsquo is required to help pay for the maintainance of important ecosystems in Tauranga harbour Initiate impact feesdispensations for ecosystem damagerestoration initiatives A Centralised Hub to deal with all issues with all councils working together alongside key community representatives This observation included the idea to explore payment for ecosystem services

bull Tools and their underlying assumptions need to be used in transparent manner Eg Market and non-market based valuation discount rates crucial to understanding value perspectives

bull Ecological Economics offers a worldview of sustainable development new tools and seeks to develop adaptive capacity toward implementation

Places to intervene in a system

Meadows D 2010 Leverage Points Places to Intervene in a System Solutions 1(1)41-49

1 Numbers constants parameters (taxes subsidies etc)

2 Size of buffers and stabilizing stocks relative to their flows

3 Structure of material flows (transport network age of population)

4 Length of delays relative to rates of change

5 Strength of negative feedback loops

6 The gain of driving positive feedback loops

7 The structure of information flows (who does and doesnrsquot have information)

8 The rules of the system (incentives punishments constraints)

9 The power to change evolve self-organize

10 Changing the goals of the system

11 The mindset or paradigm out of which rules structure parameters arise

12 The power to transcend paradigms

Our most important challenge

To create and communicate a shared vision of a

sustainable and desirable future

Then population will more than double

Scenario 1

Sprawl may reduce the sedimentation under the assumption that runoff

from urban areas are lower than from pasture

Urban area is mainly converted pasture in this model

Example lsquoFindings lsquo helliphellip etc bull Is the model at a point where it can be communicated

usefully

bull There continues to be a need for land use and data translation and compilation and understanding from an integrated systems perspective

bull The benefits of the aggregated systems approach is that it allows several separate conversations to come together and identify the need for leadership in the absence of ldquodata and certaintyrdquo

bull The disadvantage of the aggregated approach is the lack of spatial explicitness the on-going wish for more data to increase the understanding of the system

bull

Example lsquoRecommendation 1rsquo hellipetc bull It was clearly very important to consider the cultural ldquovoicerdquo

during workshop discussions However we didnrsquot attempt to model this A future adapted version of the model could include the results of the on-going Cultural Health Indicator study that is proposed for the next phase of MTM

Then population will more than double

Scenario 1

Sprawl may reduce the sedimentation under the assumption that runoff

from urban areas are lower than from pasture

Urban area is mainly converted pasture in this model

Example lsquoFindings lsquo helliphellip etc bull Is the model at a point where it can be communicated

bull There continues to be a need for land use and data translation and compilation and understanding from an integrated systems perspective

bull The benefits of the aggregated systems approach is that it allows several separate conversations to come together and identify the need for leadership in the absence of ldquodata and certaintyrdquo

bull The disadvantage of the aggregated approach is the lack of spatial explicitness the on-going wish for more data to increase the understanding of the system

bull

Example lsquoRecommendation 1rsquo hellipetc bull It was clearly very important to consider the cultural ldquovoicerdquo

during workshop discussions However we didnrsquot attempt to model this A future adapted version of the model could include the results of the on-going Cultural Health Indicator study that is proposed for the next phase of MTM

Scenario planning assumptions 1The future is unlike the past and is significantly shaped

by human choice and action

2The future cannot be foreseen but exploring possible

futures can inform present decisions

3There are many possible futures scenarios therefore map

within a lsquopossibility spacersquo

4Scenario development involves both rational analysis and

creative thinking

Assumptions over time

Scenario 1 ndash what if there is no limit of for urban areasprawl

Then population will more than double

Scenario 1

Sprawl may reduce the sedimentation under the assumption that runoff

from urban areas are lower than from pasture

Urban area is mainly converted pasture in this model

Sensitivities

bull Insert delays of responses to actions

Example lsquoFindings lsquo helliphellip etc bull Is the model at a point where it can be communicated

usefully

bull There continues to be a need for land use and data translation and compilation and understanding from an integrated systems perspective

bull The benefits of the aggregated systems approach is that it allows several separate conversations to come together and identify the need for leadership in the absence of ldquodata and certaintyrdquo

bull The disadvantage of the aggregated approach is the lack of spatial explicitness the on-going wish for more data to increase the understanding of the system

bull

Example lsquoRecommendation 1rsquo hellipetc bull It was clearly very important to consider the cultural ldquovoicerdquo

during workshop discussions However we didnrsquot attempt to model this A future adapted version of the model could include the results of the on-going Cultural Health Indicator study that is proposed for the next phase of MTM

bull An lsquooffset rates systemrsquo is required to help pay for the maintainance of important ecosystems in Tauranga harbour Initiate impact feesdispensations for ecosystem damagerestoration initiatives A Centralised Hub to deal with all issues with all councils working together alongside key community representatives This observation included the idea to explore payment for ecosystem services

Assumptions over time

Scenario 1 ndash what if there is no limit of for urban areasprawl

Then population will more than double

Scenario 1

Sprawl may reduce the sedimentation under the assumption that runoff

from urban areas are lower than from pasture

Urban area is mainly converted pasture in this model

Sensitivities

Ecosystem service value very sensitive to assumed ldquoES valuesrdquo

Blue line base setting mainly based on generic values

Red line maximum values

bull Insert delays of responses to actions

Example lsquoFindings lsquo helliphellip etc bull Is the model at a point where it can be communicated

usefully

bull There continues to be a need for land use and data translation and compilation and understanding from an integrated systems perspective

bull The benefits of the aggregated systems approach is that it allows several separate conversations to come together and identify the need for leadership in the absence of ldquodata and certaintyrdquo

bull The disadvantage of the aggregated approach is the lack of spatial explicitness the on-going wish for more data to increase the understanding of the system

bull

Example lsquoRecommendation 1rsquo hellipetc bull It was clearly very important to consider the cultural ldquovoicerdquo

during workshop discussions However we didnrsquot attempt to model this A future adapted version of the model could include the results of the on-going Cultural Health Indicator study that is proposed for the next phase of MTM

bull An lsquooffset rates systemrsquo is required to help pay for the maintainance of important ecosystems in Tauranga harbour Initiate impact feesdispensations for ecosystem damagerestoration initiatives A Centralised Hub to deal with all issues with all councils working together alongside key community representatives This observation included the idea to explore payment for ecosystem services

Assumptions over time

Scenario 1 ndash what if there is no limit of for urban areasprawl

Then population will more than double

Scenario 1

Sprawl may reduce the sedimentation under the assumption that runoff

from urban areas are lower than from pasture

Urban area is mainly converted pasture in this model

Sensitivities

Ecosystem service value very sensitive to assumed ldquoES valuesrdquo

Blue line base setting mainly based on generic values

Red line maximum values

bull Insert delays of responses to actions

Example lsquoFindings lsquo helliphellip etc bull Is the model at a point where it can be communicated

usefully

bull There continues to be a need for land use and data translation and compilation and understanding from an integrated systems perspective

bull The benefits of the aggregated systems approach is that it allows several separate conversations to come together and identify the need for leadership in the absence of ldquodata and certaintyrdquo

bull The disadvantage of the aggregated approach is the lack of spatial explicitness the on-going wish for more data to increase the understanding of the system

bull

Example lsquoRecommendation 1rsquo hellipetc bull It was clearly very important to consider the cultural ldquovoicerdquo

during workshop discussions However we didnrsquot attempt to model this A future adapted version of the model could include the results of the on-going Cultural Health Indicator study that is proposed for the next phase of MTM

bull An lsquooffset rates systemrsquo is required to help pay for the maintainance of important ecosystems in Tauranga harbour Initiate impact feesdispensations for ecosystem damagerestoration initiatives A Centralised Hub to deal with all issues with all councils working together alongside key community representatives This observation included the idea to explore payment for ecosystem services

Assumptions over time

Scenario 1 ndash what if there is no limit of for urban areasprawl

Then population will more than double

Scenario 1

Sprawl may reduce the sedimentation under the assumption that runoff

from urban areas are lower than from pasture

Urban area is mainly converted pasture in this model

Sensitivities

Example lsquoFindings lsquo helliphellip etc bull Is the model at a point where it can be communicated

usefully

bull There continues to be a need for land use and data translation and compilation and understanding from an integrated systems perspective

bull The benefits of the aggregated systems approach is that it allows several separate conversations to come together and identify the need for leadership in the absence of ldquodata and certaintyrdquo

bull The disadvantage of the aggregated approach is the lack of spatial explicitness the on-going wish for more data to increase the understanding of the system

bull

Example lsquoRecommendation 1rsquo hellipetc bull It was clearly very important to consider the cultural ldquovoicerdquo

during workshop discussions However we didnrsquot attempt to model this A future adapted version of the model could include the results of the on-going Cultural Health Indicator study that is proposed for the next phase of MTM

3 Structure of material flows (transport network age of population)

4 Length of delays relative to rates of change

Scenario 1

Sprawl may reduce the sedimentation under the assumption that runoff

from urban areas are lower than from pasture

Urban area is mainly converted pasture in this model

bull

Example lsquoRecommendation 1rsquo hellipetc bull It was clearly very important to consider the cultural ldquovoicerdquo

Assumptions over time

Scenario 1 ndash what if there is no limit of for urban areasprawl

Then population will more than double

Scenario 1

Sprawl may reduce the sedimentation under the assumption that runoff

from urban areas are lower than from pasture

Urban area is mainly converted pasture in this model

Sensitivities

bull Insert delays of responses to actions

Example lsquoFindings lsquo helliphellip etc bull Is the model at a point where it can be communicated

usefully

bull There continues to be a need for land use and data translation and compilation and understanding from an integrated systems perspective

bull The benefits of the aggregated systems approach is that it allows several separate conversations to come together and identify the need for leadership in the absence of ldquodata and certaintyrdquo

bull The disadvantage of the aggregated approach is the lack of spatial explicitness the on-going wish for more data to increase the understanding of the system

bull

Example lsquoRecommendation 1rsquo hellipetc bull It was clearly very important to consider the cultural ldquovoicerdquo

during workshop discussions However we didnrsquot attempt to model this A future adapted version of the model could include the results of the on-going Cultural Health Indicator study that is proposed for the next phase of MTM

bull An lsquooffset rates systemrsquo is required to help pay for the maintainance of important ecosystems in Tauranga harbour Initiate impact feesdispensations for ecosystem damagerestoration initiatives A Centralised Hub to deal with all issues with all councils working together alongside key community representatives This observation included the idea to explore payment for ecosystem services

1 Numbers constants parameters (taxes subsidies etc)

2 Size of buffers and stabilizing stocks relative to their flows

3 Structure of material flows (transport network age of population)

4 Length of delays relative to rates of change

5 Strength of negative feedback loops

6 The gain of driving positive feedback loops

7 The structure of information flows (who does and doesnrsquot have information)

8 The rules of the system (incentives punishments constraints)

9 The power to change evolve self-organize

10 Changing the goals of the system

11 The mindset or paradigm out of which rules structure parameters arise

12 The power to transcend paradigms

Our most important challenge

To create and communicate a shared vision of a

sustainable and desirable future

by human choice and action

2The future cannot be foreseen but exploring possible

futures can inform present decisions

3There are many possible futures scenarios therefore map

Assumptions over time

Scenario 1 ndash what if there is no limit of for urban areasprawl

Then population will more than double

Scenario 1

Sprawl may reduce the sedimentation under the assumption that runoff

from urban areas are lower than from pasture

Urban area is mainly converted pasture in this model

Sensitivities

bull Insert delays of responses to actions

Example lsquoFindings lsquo helliphellip etc bull Is the model at a point where it can be communicated

usefully

bull There continues to be a need for land use and data translation and compilation and understanding from an integrated systems perspective

bull The benefits of the aggregated systems approach is that it allows several separate conversations to come together and identify the need for leadership in the absence of ldquodata and certaintyrdquo

bull The disadvantage of the aggregated approach is the lack of spatial explicitness the on-going wish for more data to increase the understanding of the system

bull

Example lsquoRecommendation 1rsquo hellipetc bull It was clearly very important to consider the cultural ldquovoicerdquo

during workshop discussions However we didnrsquot attempt to model this A future adapted version of the model could include the results of the on-going Cultural Health Indicator study that is proposed for the next phase of MTM

bull An lsquooffset rates systemrsquo is required to help pay for the maintainance of important ecosystems in Tauranga harbour Initiate impact feesdispensations for ecosystem damagerestoration initiatives A Centralised Hub to deal with all issues with all councils working together alongside key community representatives This observation included the idea to explore payment for ecosystem services

Assumptions over time

Scenario 1 ndash what if there is no limit of for urban areasprawl

Then population will more than double

Scenario 1

Sprawl may reduce the sedimentation under the assumption that runoff

from urban areas are lower than from pasture

Urban area is mainly converted pasture in this model

Sensitivities

Ecosystem service value very sensitive to assumed ldquoES valuesrdquo

Blue line base setting mainly based on generic values

Red line maximum values

Recommendation continue investigation in ES for Tauranga

bull Cultural Health indicator

bull Dynamic economic sector and interconnection with ecosystems

bull Ecosystem service ldquoproduction curvesrdquo

bull Solution ldquoproduction curvesrdquo

bull Link in water demand and water allocation threshold into all relevant sectors

bull Insert delays of responses to actions

Example lsquoFindings lsquo helliphellip etc bull Is the model at a point where it can be communicated

usefully

bull There continues to be a need for land use and data translation and compilation and understanding from an integrated systems perspective

bull The benefits of the aggregated systems approach is that it allows several separate conversations to come together and identify the need for leadership in the absence of ldquodata and certaintyrdquo

bull The disadvantage of the aggregated approach is the lack of spatial explicitness the on-going wish for more data to increase the understanding of the system

bull

Example lsquoRecommendation 1rsquo hellipetc bull It was clearly very important to consider the cultural ldquovoicerdquo

during workshop discussions However we didnrsquot attempt to model this A future adapted version of the model could include the results of the on-going Cultural Health Indicator study that is proposed for the next phase of MTM

bull An lsquooffset rates systemrsquo is required to help pay for the maintainance of important ecosystems in Tauranga harbour Initiate impact feesdispensations for ecosystem damagerestoration initiatives A Centralised Hub to deal with all issues with all councils working together alongside key community representatives This observation included the idea to explore payment for ecosystem services

Assumptions over time

Scenario 1 ndash what if there is no limit of for urban areasprawl

Then population will more than double

Scenario 1

Sprawl may reduce the sedimentation under the assumption that runoff

from urban areas are lower than from pasture

Urban area is mainly converted pasture in this model

Sensitivities

Ecosystem service value very sensitive to assumed ldquoES valuesrdquo

Blue line base setting mainly based on generic values

Red line maximum values

bull Insert delays of responses to actions

Example lsquoFindings lsquo helliphellip etc bull Is the model at a point where it can be communicated

usefully

bull There continues to be a need for land use and data translation and compilation and understanding from an integrated systems perspective

bull The benefits of the aggregated systems approach is that it allows several separate conversations to come together and identify the need for leadership in the absence of ldquodata and certaintyrdquo

bull The disadvantage of the aggregated approach is the lack of spatial explicitness the on-going wish for more data to increase the understanding of the system

bull

Example lsquoRecommendation 1rsquo hellipetc bull It was clearly very important to consider the cultural ldquovoicerdquo

during workshop discussions However we didnrsquot attempt to model this A future adapted version of the model could include the results of the on-going Cultural Health Indicator study that is proposed for the next phase of MTM

bull An lsquooffset rates systemrsquo is required to help pay for the maintainance of important ecosystems in Tauranga harbour Initiate impact feesdispensations for ecosystem damagerestoration initiatives A Centralised Hub to deal with all issues with all councils working together alongside key community representatives This observation included the idea to explore payment for ecosystem services

Assumptions in the structure

Assumptions over time

Scenario 1 ndash what if there is no limit of for urban areasprawl

Then population will more than double

Scenario 1

Sprawl may reduce the sedimentation under the assumption that runoff

from urban areas are lower than from pasture

Urban area is mainly converted pasture in this model

Sensitivities

Ecosystem service value very sensitive to assumed ldquoES valuesrdquo

Blue line base setting mainly based on generic values

Red line maximum values

Recommendation continue investigation in ES for Tauranga

bull Ecosystem service ldquoproduction curvesrdquo

bull Link in water demand and water allocation threshold into all relevant sectors

bull Insert delays of responses to actions

Example lsquoFindings lsquo helliphellip etc bull Is the model at a point where it can be communicated

usefully

bull There continues to be a need for land use and data translation and compilation and understanding from an integrated systems perspective

bull The benefits of the aggregated systems approach is that it allows several separate conversations to come together and identify the need for leadership in the absence of ldquodata and certaintyrdquo

bull The disadvantage of the aggregated approach is the lack of spatial explicitness the on-going wish for more data to increase the understanding of the system

bull

Example lsquoRecommendation 1rsquo hellipetc bull It was clearly very important to consider the cultural ldquovoicerdquo

during workshop discussions However we didnrsquot attempt to model this A future adapted version of the model could include the results of the on-going Cultural Health Indicator study that is proposed for the next phase of MTM

bull An lsquooffset rates systemrsquo is required to help pay for the maintainance of important ecosystems in Tauranga harbour Initiate impact feesdispensations for ecosystem damagerestoration initiatives A Centralised Hub to deal with all issues with all councils working together alongside key community representatives This observation included the idea to explore payment for ecosystem services

by human choice and action

2The future cannot be foreseen but exploring possible

futures can inform present decisions

Assumptions over time

Scenario 1 ndash what if there is no limit of for urban areasprawl

Then population will more than double

Scenario 1

Sprawl may reduce the sedimentation under the assumption that runoff

from urban areas are lower than from pasture

Urban area is mainly converted pasture in this model

Sensitivities

bull Insert delays of responses to actions

Example lsquoFindings lsquo helliphellip etc bull Is the model at a point where it can be communicated

usefully

bull There continues to be a need for land use and data translation and compilation and understanding from an integrated systems perspective

bull The benefits of the aggregated systems approach is that it allows several separate conversations to come together and identify the need for leadership in the absence of ldquodata and certaintyrdquo

bull The disadvantage of the aggregated approach is the lack of spatial explicitness the on-going wish for more data to increase the understanding of the system

bull

Example lsquoRecommendation 1rsquo hellipetc bull It was clearly very important to consider the cultural ldquovoicerdquo

during workshop discussions However we didnrsquot attempt to model this A future adapted version of the model could include the results of the on-going Cultural Health Indicator study that is proposed for the next phase of MTM

bull An lsquooffset rates systemrsquo is required to help pay for the maintainance of important ecosystems in Tauranga harbour Initiate impact feesdispensations for ecosystem damagerestoration initiatives A Centralised Hub to deal with all issues with all councils working together alongside key community representatives This observation included the idea to explore payment for ecosystem services

Assumptions over time

Scenario 1 ndash what if there is no limit of for urban areasprawl

Then population will more than double

Scenario 1

Sprawl may reduce the sedimentation under the assumption that runoff

from urban areas are lower than from pasture

Urban area is mainly converted pasture in this model

Sensitivities

Ecosystem service value very sensitive to assumed ldquoES valuesrdquo

Blue line base setting mainly based on generic values

Red line maximum values

bull Insert delays of responses to actions

Example lsquoFindings lsquo helliphellip etc bull Is the model at a point where it can be communicated

usefully

bull There continues to be a need for land use and data translation and compilation and understanding from an integrated systems perspective

bull The benefits of the aggregated systems approach is that it allows several separate conversations to come together and identify the need for leadership in the absence of ldquodata and certaintyrdquo

bull The disadvantage of the aggregated approach is the lack of spatial explicitness the on-going wish for more data to increase the understanding of the system

bull

Example lsquoRecommendation 1rsquo hellipetc bull It was clearly very important to consider the cultural ldquovoicerdquo

during workshop discussions However we didnrsquot attempt to model this A future adapted version of the model could include the results of the on-going Cultural Health Indicator study that is proposed for the next phase of MTM

bull An lsquooffset rates systemrsquo is required to help pay for the maintainance of important ecosystems in Tauranga harbour Initiate impact feesdispensations for ecosystem damagerestoration initiatives A Centralised Hub to deal with all issues with all councils working together alongside key community representatives This observation included the idea to explore payment for ecosystem services

Assumptions in the structure

Assumptions over time

Scenario 1 ndash what if there is no limit of for urban areasprawl

Then population will more than double

Scenario 1

Sprawl may reduce the sedimentation under the assumption that runoff

from urban areas are lower than from pasture

Urban area is mainly converted pasture in this model

Sensitivities

Ecosystem service value very sensitive to assumed ldquoES valuesrdquo

Blue line base setting mainly based on generic values

Red line maximum values

Recommendation continue investigation in ES for Tauranga

bull Ecosystem service ldquoproduction curvesrdquo

bull Solution ldquoproduction curvesrdquo

bull Insert delays of responses to actions

Example lsquoFindings lsquo helliphellip etc bull Is the model at a point where it can be communicated

usefully

bull There continues to be a need for land use and data translation and compilation and understanding from an integrated systems perspective

bull The benefits of the aggregated systems approach is that it allows several separate conversations to come together and identify the need for leadership in the absence of ldquodata and certaintyrdquo

bull The disadvantage of the aggregated approach is the lack of spatial explicitness the on-going wish for more data to increase the understanding of the system

bull

Example lsquoRecommendation 1rsquo hellipetc bull It was clearly very important to consider the cultural ldquovoicerdquo

during workshop discussions However we didnrsquot attempt to model this A future adapted version of the model could include the results of the on-going Cultural Health Indicator study that is proposed for the next phase of MTM

bull An lsquooffset rates systemrsquo is required to help pay for the maintainance of important ecosystems in Tauranga harbour Initiate impact feesdispensations for ecosystem damagerestoration initiatives A Centralised Hub to deal with all issues with all councils working together alongside key community representatives This observation included the idea to explore payment for ecosystem services

Assumptions over time

Scenario 1 ndash what if there is no limit of for urban areasprawl

Then population will more than double

Scenario 1

Sprawl may reduce the sedimentation under the assumption that runoff

from urban areas are lower than from pasture

Urban area is mainly converted pasture in this model

Sensitivities

Ecosystem service value very sensitive to assumed ldquoES valuesrdquo

Blue line base setting mainly based on generic values

Red line maximum values

bull Ecosystem service ldquoproduction curvesrdquo

bull Solution ldquoproduction curvesrdquo

bull Link in water demand and water allocation threshold into all relevant sectors

bull Insert delays of responses to actions

Example lsquoFindings lsquo helliphellip etc bull Is the model at a point where it can be communicated

usefully

bull There continues to be a need for land use and data translation and compilation and understanding from an integrated systems perspective

bull The benefits of the aggregated systems approach is that it allows several separate conversations to come together and identify the need for leadership in the absence of ldquodata and certaintyrdquo

bull The disadvantage of the aggregated approach is the lack of spatial explicitness the on-going wish for more data to increase the understanding of the system

bull

Example lsquoRecommendation 1rsquo hellipetc bull It was clearly very important to consider the cultural ldquovoicerdquo

during workshop discussions However we didnrsquot attempt to model this A future adapted version of the model could include the results of the on-going Cultural Health Indicator study that is proposed for the next phase of MTM

bull An lsquooffset rates systemrsquo is required to help pay for the maintainance of important ecosystems in Tauranga harbour Initiate impact feesdispensations for ecosystem damagerestoration initiatives A Centralised Hub to deal with all issues with all councils working together alongside key community representatives This observation included the idea to explore payment for ecosystem services

Assumptions in the structure

Assumptions over time

Scenario 1 ndash what if there is no limit of for urban areasprawl

Then population will more than double

Scenario 1

Sprawl may reduce the sedimentation under the assumption that runoff

from urban areas are lower than from pasture

Urban area is mainly converted pasture in this model

Sensitivities

Ecosystem service value very sensitive to assumed ldquoES valuesrdquo

Blue line base setting mainly based on generic values

Red line maximum values

Recommendation continue investigation in ES for Tauranga

bull Shellfish and seafood population changes and their causes

bull Cultural Health indicator

bull Dynamic economic sector and interconnection with ecosystems

bull Ecosystem service ldquoproduction curvesrdquo

bull Solution ldquoproduction curvesrdquo

bull Link in water demand and water allocation threshold into all relevant sectors

bull Insert delays of responses to actions

Example lsquoFindings lsquo helliphellip etc bull Is the model at a point where it can be communicated

usefully

bull There continues to be a need for land use and data translation and compilation and understanding from an integrated systems perspective

bull The benefits of the aggregated systems approach is that it allows several separate conversations to come together and identify the need for leadership in the absence of ldquodata and certaintyrdquo

bull The disadvantage of the aggregated approach is the lack of spatial explicitness the on-going wish for more data to increase the understanding of the system

bull

Example lsquoRecommendation 1rsquo hellipetc bull It was clearly very important to consider the cultural ldquovoicerdquo

during workshop discussions However we didnrsquot attempt to model this A future adapted version of the model could include the results of the on-going Cultural Health Indicator study that is proposed for the next phase of MTM

bull An lsquooffset rates systemrsquo is required to help pay for the maintainance of important ecosystems in Tauranga harbour Initiate impact feesdispensations for ecosystem damagerestoration initiatives A Centralised Hub to deal with all issues with all councils working together alongside key community representatives This observation included the idea to explore payment for ecosystem services

Assumptions over time

Scenario 1 ndash what if there is no limit of for urban areasprawl

Then population will more than double

Scenario 1

Sprawl may reduce the sedimentation under the assumption that runoff

from urban areas are lower than from pasture

Urban area is mainly converted pasture in this model

Sensitivities

Ecosystem service value very sensitive to assumed ldquoES valuesrdquo

Blue line base setting mainly based on generic values

Red line maximum values

bull Insert delays of responses to actions

Example lsquoFindings lsquo helliphellip etc bull Is the model at a point where it can be communicated

usefully

bull There continues to be a need for land use and data translation and compilation and understanding from an integrated systems perspective

bull The benefits of the aggregated systems approach is that it allows several separate conversations to come together and identify the need for leadership in the absence of ldquodata and certaintyrdquo

bull The disadvantage of the aggregated approach is the lack of spatial explicitness the on-going wish for more data to increase the understanding of the system

bull

Example lsquoRecommendation 1rsquo hellipetc bull It was clearly very important to consider the cultural ldquovoicerdquo

during workshop discussions However we didnrsquot attempt to model this A future adapted version of the model could include the results of the on-going Cultural Health Indicator study that is proposed for the next phase of MTM

bull An lsquooffset rates systemrsquo is required to help pay for the maintainance of important ecosystems in Tauranga harbour Initiate impact feesdispensations for ecosystem damagerestoration initiatives A Centralised Hub to deal with all issues with all councils working together alongside key community representatives This observation included the idea to explore payment for ecosystem services

Assumptions over time

Scenario 1 ndash what if there is no limit of for urban areasprawl

Then population will more than double

Scenario 1

Sprawl may reduce the sedimentation under the assumption that runoff

from urban areas are lower than from pasture

Urban area is mainly converted pasture in this model

Sensitivities

Ecosystem service value very sensitive to assumed ldquoES valuesrdquo

bull Insert delays of responses to actions

Example lsquoFindings lsquo helliphellip etc bull Is the model at a point where it can be communicated

usefully

bull There continues to be a need for land use and data translation and compilation and understanding from an integrated systems perspective

bull The benefits of the aggregated systems approach is that it allows several separate conversations to come together and identify the need for leadership in the absence of ldquodata and certaintyrdquo

bull The disadvantage of the aggregated approach is the lack of spatial explicitness the on-going wish for more data to increase the understanding of the system

bull

Example lsquoRecommendation 1rsquo hellipetc bull It was clearly very important to consider the cultural ldquovoicerdquo

during workshop discussions However we didnrsquot attempt to model this A future adapted version of the model could include the results of the on-going Cultural Health Indicator study that is proposed for the next phase of MTM

bull An lsquooffset rates systemrsquo is required to help pay for the maintainance of important ecosystems in Tauranga harbour Initiate impact feesdispensations for ecosystem damagerestoration initiatives A Centralised Hub to deal with all issues with all councils working together alongside key community representatives This observation included the idea to explore payment for ecosystem services

Then population will more than double

Scenario 1

Sprawl may reduce the sedimentation under the assumption that runoff

from urban areas are lower than from pasture

Urban area is mainly converted pasture in this model

bull Insert delays of responses to actions

Example lsquoFindings lsquo helliphellip etc bull Is the model at a point where it can be communicated

usefully

bull There continues to be a need for land use and data translation and compilation and understanding from an integrated systems perspective

bull The benefits of the aggregated systems approach is that it allows several separate conversations to come together and identify the need for leadership in the absence of ldquodata and certaintyrdquo

bull The disadvantage of the aggregated approach is the lack of spatial explicitness the on-going wish for more data to increase the understanding of the system

bull

Example lsquoRecommendation 1rsquo hellipetc bull It was clearly very important to consider the cultural ldquovoicerdquo

during workshop discussions However we didnrsquot attempt to model this A future adapted version of the model could include the results of the on-going Cultural Health Indicator study that is proposed for the next phase of MTM

bull An lsquooffset rates systemrsquo is required to help pay for the maintainance of important ecosystems in Tauranga harbour Initiate impact feesdispensations for ecosystem damagerestoration initiatives A Centralised Hub to deal with all issues with all councils working together alongside key community representatives This observation included the idea to explore payment for ecosystem services

Assumptions over time

Scenario 1 ndash what if there is no limit of for urban areasprawl

Then population will more than double

Scenario 1

Sprawl may reduce the sedimentation under the assumption that runoff

from urban areas are lower than from pasture

Urban area is mainly converted pasture in this model

Sensitivities

Example lsquoFindings lsquo helliphellip etc bull Is the model at a point where it can be communicated

bull There continues to be a need for land use and data translation and compilation and understanding from an integrated systems perspective

bull The benefits of the aggregated systems approach is that it allows several separate conversations to come together and identify the need for leadership in the absence of ldquodata and certaintyrdquo

bull The disadvantage of the aggregated approach is the lack of spatial explicitness the on-going wish for more data to increase the understanding of the system

bull

Example lsquoRecommendation 1rsquo hellipetc bull It was clearly very important to consider the cultural ldquovoicerdquo

during workshop discussions However we didnrsquot attempt to model this A future adapted version of the model could include the results of the on-going Cultural Health Indicator study that is proposed for the next phase of MTM

bull An lsquooffset rates systemrsquo is required to help pay for the maintainance of important ecosystems in Tauranga harbour Initiate impact feesdispensations for ecosystem damagerestoration initiatives A Centralised Hub to deal with all issues with all councils working together alongside key community representatives This observation included the idea to explore payment for ecosystem services

Assumptions over time

Scenario 1 ndash what if there is no limit of for urban areasprawl

Then population will more than double

Scenario 1

Sprawl may reduce the sedimentation under the assumption that runoff

from urban areas are lower than from pasture

Urban area is mainly converted pasture in this model

Sensitivities

Ecosystem service value very sensitive to assumed ldquoES valuesrdquo

Blue line base setting mainly based on generic values

Red line maximum values

bull Insert delays of responses to actions

Example lsquoFindings lsquo helliphellip etc bull Is the model at a point where it can be communicated

usefully

bull There continues to be a need for land use and data translation and compilation and understanding from an integrated systems perspective

bull The benefits of the aggregated systems approach is that it allows several separate conversations to come together and identify the need for leadership in the absence of ldquodata and certaintyrdquo

bull The disadvantage of the aggregated approach is the lack of spatial explicitness the on-going wish for more data to increase the understanding of the system

bull

Example lsquoRecommendation 1rsquo hellipetc bull It was clearly very important to consider the cultural ldquovoicerdquo

during workshop discussions However we didnrsquot attempt to model this A future adapted version of the model could include the results of the on-going Cultural Health Indicator study that is proposed for the next phase of MTM

bull An lsquooffset rates systemrsquo is required to help pay for the maintainance of important ecosystems in Tauranga harbour Initiate impact feesdispensations for ecosystem damagerestoration initiatives A Centralised Hub to deal with all issues with all councils working together alongside key community representatives This observation included the idea to explore payment for ecosystem services

Assumptions in the structure

Assumptions over time

Scenario 1 ndash what if there is no limit of for urban areasprawl

Then population will more than double

Scenario 1

Sprawl may reduce the sedimentation under the assumption that runoff

from urban areas are lower than from pasture

Urban area is mainly converted pasture in this model

Sensitivities

bull Insert delays of responses to actions

Example lsquoFindings lsquo helliphellip etc bull Is the model at a point where it can be communicated

usefully

bull There continues to be a need for land use and data translation and compilation and understanding from an integrated systems perspective

bull The benefits of the aggregated systems approach is that it allows several separate conversations to come together and identify the need for leadership in the absence of ldquodata and certaintyrdquo

bull The disadvantage of the aggregated approach is the lack of spatial explicitness the on-going wish for more data to increase the understanding of the system

bull

Example lsquoRecommendation 1rsquo hellipetc bull It was clearly very important to consider the cultural ldquovoicerdquo

during workshop discussions However we didnrsquot attempt to model this A future adapted version of the model could include the results of the on-going Cultural Health Indicator study that is proposed for the next phase of MTM

bull An lsquooffset rates systemrsquo is required to help pay for the maintainance of important ecosystems in Tauranga harbour Initiate impact feesdispensations for ecosystem damagerestoration initiatives A Centralised Hub to deal with all issues with all councils working together alongside key community representatives This observation included the idea to explore payment for ecosystem services

bull The benefits of the aggregated systems approach is that it allows several separate conversations to come together and identify the need for leadership in the absence of ldquodata and certaintyrdquo

bull The disadvantage of the aggregated approach is the lack of spatial explicitness the on-going wish for more data to increase the understanding of the system

bull

Example lsquoRecommendation 1rsquo hellipetc bull It was clearly very important to consider the cultural ldquovoicerdquo

during workshop discussions However we didnrsquot attempt to model this A future adapted version of the model could include the results of the on-going Cultural Health Indicator study that is proposed for the next phase of MTM

Understanding and Consensus Building

Mediated Discussion

High level of Understanding of Complex Systems

High level of Consensus

Status Quo

Expert Modeling

Mediated Modeling

Low level of Consensus

Low level of Understanding of Complex Systems

Specialized model whose

recommendation never get

implemented because they lack

stakeholder support

Consensus on both problemsgoals and

process leading to effective and

implementable policies

Confrontational debate and no

improvement

Consensus on goals or

problems but no help on

how to achieve the goals or

solve the problems

Assumptions in the structure

Assumptions over time

Scenario 1 ndash what if there is no limit of for urban areasprawl

Then population will more than double

Scenario 1

Sprawl may reduce the sedimentation under the assumption that runoff

from urban areas are lower than from pasture

Urban area is mainly converted pasture in this model

Sensitivities

Ecosystem service value very sensitive to assumed ldquoES valuesrdquo

Blue line base setting mainly based on generic values

Red line maximum values

Recommendation continue investigation in ES for Tauranga

Future model improvements

bull Shellfish and seafood population changes and their causes

bull Cultural Health indicator

bull Dynamic economic sector and interconnection with ecosystems

bull Ecosystem service ldquoproduction curvesrdquo

bull Solution ldquoproduction curvesrdquo

bull Link in water demand and water allocation threshold into all relevant sectors

bull Insert delays of responses to actions

Example lsquoFindings lsquo helliphellip etc bull Is the model at a point where it can be communicated

usefully

bull There continues to be a need for land use and data translation and compilation and understanding from an integrated systems perspective

bull The benefits of the aggregated systems approach is that it allows several separate conversations to come together and identify the need for leadership in the absence of ldquodata and certaintyrdquo

bull The disadvantage of the aggregated approach is the lack of spatial explicitness the on-going wish for more data to increase the understanding of the system

bull

Example lsquoRecommendation 1rsquo hellipetc bull It was clearly very important to consider the cultural ldquovoicerdquo

during workshop discussions However we didnrsquot attempt to model this A future adapted version of the model could include the results of the on-going Cultural Health Indicator study that is proposed for the next phase of MTM

bull An lsquooffset rates systemrsquo is required to help pay for the maintainance of important ecosystems in Tauranga harbour Initiate impact feesdispensations for ecosystem damagerestoration initiatives A Centralised Hub to deal with all issues with all councils working together alongside key community representatives This observation included the idea to explore payment for ecosystem services

Assumptions over time

Scenario 1 ndash what if there is no limit of for urban areasprawl

Then population will more than double

Scenario 1

Sprawl may reduce the sedimentation under the assumption that runoff

from urban areas are lower than from pasture

Urban area is mainly converted pasture in this model

Sensitivities

Ecosystem service value very sensitive to assumed ldquoES valuesrdquo

Blue line base setting mainly based on generic values

Red line maximum values

bull Insert delays of responses to actions

Example lsquoFindings lsquo helliphellip etc bull Is the model at a point where it can be communicated

usefully

bull There continues to be a need for land use and data translation and compilation and understanding from an integrated systems perspective

bull The benefits of the aggregated systems approach is that it allows several separate conversations to come together and identify the need for leadership in the absence of ldquodata and certaintyrdquo

bull The disadvantage of the aggregated approach is the lack of spatial explicitness the on-going wish for more data to increase the understanding of the system

bull

Example lsquoRecommendation 1rsquo hellipetc bull It was clearly very important to consider the cultural ldquovoicerdquo

during workshop discussions However we didnrsquot attempt to model this A future adapted version of the model could include the results of the on-going Cultural Health Indicator study that is proposed for the next phase of MTM
