Agent-based Modelling for Green Space Allocation in Urban Areas - Factors Influencing Agent Behaviour
The task of green space allocation in urban areas consists of identifying a suitable site for allocating green

areas. In this proposition paper we discuss about a number of factors like crowdedness, design, distribution

and size that could discourage inhabitants to visit a certain green urban area. We plan to cluster our urban

residents into several population segments using an Agent-Based Model and study the system in different

predefined scenarios. The overall objective of this work is to provide spatial guidance to planners, policy makers

and other stakeholders, and shed light on potential policy conflicts among standard policy criteria and

user preferences. We will evaluate this potential within a targeted stakeholder workshop.
