Abstract

Abstract The purpose of this article is to present the planning for sustainable development simulation game, developed to stimulate creativity and dialogue to achieve sustainable development goals (SDGs). The simulation game is targeted at practitioners and students in the field of planning, although it can be adapted to different contexts. The simulation game consists of four card decks (context, SDGs, implementation tools, and events) from which the players draw cards that will frame their storytelling and group debriefing. The article describes how the simulation game was played in a class of undergraduates taking a development and sustainability course. There were 56 students divided into 14 groups, each with four participants. Evaluations conducted with the participants indicated the potential of the simulation game for environmental education. It appeared to enhance the ability of the participants to articulate different aspects of sustainability in hypothetical applied scenarios, while stimulating innovative attitudes and critical evaluation based on social interactions.

规划可持续发展:模拟游戏

摘要:本文旨在呈现一款规划可持续发展的模拟游戏，旨在激发创造力和对话，以实现可持续发展目标(sdg)。模拟游戏的目标是规划领域的从业者和学生，尽管它可以适应不同的环境。这款模拟游戏包含4个卡组(游戏邦注:包括情境、sdg、执行工具和事件)，玩家可以从中抽取卡组来构建故事情节和小组汇报。这篇文章描述了模拟游戏是如何在一个选修发展和可持续发展课程的本科生课堂上进行的。56名学生被分成14组，每组4人。与参加者进行的评估显示模拟游戏在环境教育方面的潜力。它似乎增强了参与者在假设的应用情景中阐明可持续性不同方面的能力，同时激发了基于社会互动的创新态度和批判性评价。

期刊介绍： Applied Artificial Intelligence addresses concerns in applied research and applications of artificial intelligence (AI). The journal also acts as a medium for exchanging ideas and thoughts about impacts of AI research. Articles highlight advances in uses of AI systems for solving tasks in management, industry, engineering, administration, and education; evaluations of existing AI systems and tools, emphasizing comparative studies and user experiences; and the economic, social, and cultural impacts of AI. Papers on key applications, highlighting methods, time schedules, person-months needed, and other relevant material are welcome.
