Résumé en anglais

Although a large amount of data about the environmental exploitation of natural resources is now available for scientists, most of the computational approaches in the literature of ecosystem management have not yet been tested and validated using empirical data. We argue that some recent applications from the literature of coalitional games, aimed at modelling social dimensions like centrality and social capital, could be integrated into existing approaches in ecosystem management in order to cope with the need of having models that are more scalable and more finely grounded in the data.
