Deskripsi

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to study how to effectively allocate water, energy and food (WEF) resources in urban development. Design/methodology/approach – An agent-based model combined with NetLogo simulation model has been used in this paper. Findings – This paper proposes a framework for agent analysis in urban WEF consumption. Research limitations/implications – Further discussions using empirical data are of great importance. Practical implications – Apply to form the development model of the city in the future. Originality/value – A new method of WEF management has been used at the city level.
