ABSTRACT

In this paper, we investigate the potential of urban commons for building community resilience. We focus on the issue of adaptability to socio-ecological issues, which depends on the social capital built by the local community of practice. We measure this capital through the variables of volunteer involvement, perceived trust, and social cohesion in an agent-based model, which simulates the dynamics of participation in collective activities. We anchor our model with the case of KasKantine in Amsterdam, a cooperative and restaurant run by volunteers. Our model shows that both trust and social cohesion emerge from the interactions in the cooperative, especially when group sizes are kept small. This contributes to the adaptability of such social-ecological systems, helping their communities build social resilience.

摘要

在本文中，我们调查了城市公共区域在建设社区复原力方面的潜力。我们关注对社会生态问题的适应性问题，这取决于当地实践社区建立的社会资本。我们通过基于代理的模型中的志愿者参与、感知信任和社会凝聚力等变量来衡量这种资本，该模型模拟了参与集体活动的动态。我们将我们的模型与阿姆斯特丹的 KasKantine 案例联系起来，这是一家由志愿者经营的合作社和餐厅。我们的模型表明，合作社中的互动会产生信任和社会凝聚力，尤其是在小组规模较小的情况下。这有助于提高此类社会生态系统的适应性，帮助其社区建立社会复原力。
