环境可持续性是一个复杂的问题，其含义非常具体。由于在自然和人类两个方面都有许多动态相互作用的组成部分，因此对环境可持续性问题没有简明的描述或解决方案。然而，为了更好地理解这样的问题，基于代理的模拟策略类游戏的切萨皮克湾流域开发。一个基本的模拟模型捕捉并代表了这个美国最大的河口的自然组成部分。人类（代理）的行为是通过一个“严重”的游戏界面捕捉。UVa Bay游戏提供了一个实验平台，以促进对大学课堂环境可持续性的理解，并使政策制定者能够发现和欣赏其决策的不可预测和经常出现的后果。UVa湾游戏的发展进行了描述，并概述了其目前和计划的使用。
Environmental sustainability is a complex problem in the very specific meaning of the word. With many dynamically interacting components in both natural and human dimensions, there are no concise descriptions or solutions to environmental sustainability problems. However, to better understand such problems, an agent-based simulation game of the Chesapeake Bay Watershed was developed. An underlying simulation model captures and represents the natural components of this largest estuary in the United States. Human (agent) behavior is captured through a “serious” game interface. The UVa Bay Game provides an experimental platform to advance the understanding of environmental sustainability in the university classroom as well as to enable policy-makers to discover and appreciate the unpredictable and often emergent consequences of their decision-making. The development of the UVa Bay Game is described and its current and planned use is outlined.
