研究目的
The objective of this paper is to explore the co-creation in the context of local energy transitions, using a model. Specifically, the contribution of this paper is that it studies the ways co-creation efforts in a local energy transitions case can be explored through a model.
研究成果
The aspects of co-creation undertaken in the local energy transitions study can be explored through a model that can capture the transitions dynamics, as shown in Section 4: Model Development Process. A significant outcome of this study has been the model development process presented. The inclusion of the real-life actors, in this case the MAs, in the model building process and the iterative linking of the real-world case to the model variables and the SD model is a methodological outcome of this study (see Figures 1 and 2).
研究不足
The model development process, at every stage, had these three distinct components: interactions with MAs, the identification of causal relationship, and model development. Furthermore, the SD model development can be broken down into distinct steps, as shown in Figure 3. The steps are elaborated in the following sections.
