Abstract
One of the main challenges in Agent-Based Modeling (ABM) is to model agents' preferences and behavioral rules such that the knowledge and decision-making processes of real-life stakeholders will be reflected. To tackle this challenge, we demonstrate the potential use of a participatory method, Fuzzy Cognitive Mapping (FCM), that aggregates agents' qualitative knowledge (i.e., knowledge co-production). In our proposed approach, the outcome of FCM would be a basis for designing agents' preferences and behavioral rules in ABM. We apply this method to a social-ecological system of a farming community facing water scarcity.
