Gamification for Resilience: Resilient Informed Decision Making

Enable Resilience-Informed Decision-Making with an insightful combination of systems engineering concepts

In Gamification for Resilience: Informed Resilient Decision Making, a team of distinguished researchers delivers an insightful and exciting integration of game theory, design, and applications that explains how to create a resilient city that promotes sustainable development, well-being, and inclusive growth. The authors combine several concepts and techniques taken from serious gaming and integrate them into decision-making theory, demonstrating how to enable Resilience-Informed Decision-Making.

The book addresses critical infrastructure systems and how to ensure these systems are supported against manmade and natural threats and hazards. It includes thought-provoking research questions and case applications that will engage and challenge readers and create an active and memorable learning experience.

Readers will also find:

• A thorough introduction to systems theory as the basis for bridging science and the practice of engineering systems
• Comprehensive explorations of gamification and its application to the resilience-informed decision-making process
• Practical discussions of the analysis and assessment of risk and vulnerability via serious gaming
• Fulsome treatments of the representation of system complexity using object-oriented programming

Perfect for professionals and researchers working in the areas of decision making, gamification, resilience, risk assessments, and critical infrastructures, Gamification for Resilience: Informed Resilient Decision Making will also benefit undergraduate and graduate students studying urban planning, smart cities, and related subjects.

在《強化韌性決策：以洞察力結合系統工程概念》中，一群傑出的研究人員提供了一個深入且令人興奮的遊戲理論、設計和應用整合，解釋了如何建立一個促進可持續發展、福祉和包容性增長的韌性城市。作者們結合了來自嚴肅遊戲的多個概念和技術，並將它們整合到決策理論中，展示了如何實現強化韌性決策。

該書討論了關鍵基礎設施系統以及如何確保這些系統能夠抵禦人為和自然的威脅和危害。它包括引人思考的研究問題和案例應用，將吸引並挑戰讀者，創造出一個積極而難忘的學習體驗。

讀者還將找到：
- 對系統理論的全面介紹，作為橋接科學和工程系統實踐的基礎
- 對遊戲化及其應用於強化韌性決策過程的全面探索
- 通過嚴肅遊戲進行風險和脆弱性分析和評估的實用討論
- 使用面向對象編程來表示系統複雜性的詳盡處理

這本書非常適合從事決策、遊戲化、韌性、風險評估和關鍵基礎設施等領域的專業人士和研究人員，同時也將有益於攻讀城市規劃、智慧城市和相關學科的本科和研究生學生。
