General principles for formalization of notion of sustainable development are discussed that may provide the possibility of introduction of strict definitions of sustainable development. General problem of sustainable development is considered from the point of views of weak and strong anticipatory systems. Some models are considered for study of sustainable development. Relation stability\transformation had been investigated. The consideration of mental aspects comes into question at introduction of sustainable development as one of main problems of transformations.

Participatory modelling needs usually face-to-face participatory modelling sessions. In comparison to classical approaches, the platform presented in this paper shall facilitate web-based collaborative and cumulative modelling when such face-to-face sessions cannot be organised as often as desired. Successive iteration steps of the model development can thus be displayed interactively in a standard web browser together with comments and explanations made by the modeller. The platform strengthens the support of formal model construction and documentation on the one hand and reduces the effort of model re-publishing on the other hand. These approaches are discussed and characterised in the following contribution. Furthermore this platform shall be used to support participatory modelling and decision-making processes in the field of sustainable development, especially in the context of anticipatory systems Fri, 11 Oct 2024 11:14:16 +0200 Fri, 11 Oct 2024 11:14:28 +0200 http://popups.lib.uliege.be/1373-5411/index.php?id=4459 http://popups.lib.uliege.be/1373-5411/index.php?id=619 Sustainable development, creating no handicap for future generations, requires an anticipatory synchronisation of its different population and economic aspects. Population responses to environmental pressures may be oriented in three main directions : work intensification, migration, and family size limitation. All three of them may be considered as anticipatory strategies. Many semiarid wooded areas present vegetation bands which have been recently modelled. This model can be used for anticipatory management allowing a sustainable production of firewood. Coherent forestry policy, like other economic policies, should induce population changes compatible with the available resources.
