Modeling Social Systems and Their Interaction with the Environment: A View from Geography

There is a long tradition of attempts to explain the pattern and dynamics of the human use of land and resources. A range of abstractions and computer simulations derived from theory and empirical data—models in the broadest sense—have been used to describe agricultural and industrial use and misuse of the environment.
