为城市健康和福祉建立城市系统模型，旨在找到优化城市居民福祉的方法，这是一项复杂的任务。考虑城市系统特定部分的不同建模方法，如环境压力源、城市社会和城市形态，需要进行整合。构建了与健康相关的城市福祉概念模型（UrbWellth），为集成建模框架提供了一个结构。然而，到目前为止，不同建模方法之间的接口还没有得到充分的识别。设计结构矩阵（DSM）的概念在设计工程中得到了广泛的应用。在这里，通过确定相关的接口变量和过程，它被用来识别城市系统中必要的接口。利用城市健康的概念模型构建DSM。对基于城市健康的DSM进行聚类分析的结果表明，概念模型的结构确实适合作为集成模型的基础。此外，多领域DSM （MDDSM）是基于单个建模者的专家知识的DSM的扩展，它确定了集成模型组件的接口变量以及需要协调不同建模方法的过程。此外，基于MDDSM的方法确定了可用建模方法尚未涵盖的过程。
Modeling the urban system for urban health and well-being with the aim of finding ways to optimize the well-being of urban dwellers is a complex task. Different modeling approaches that consider specific parts of the urban system, e.g., environmental stressors, urban society, and urban morphology, need to be integrated. The conceptual model of health-related urban well-being (UrbWellth) has been constructed to provide a structure for an integrated modeling framework. However, interfaces between the different modeling approaches were not sufficiently identified until now. The challenge to specify and operationalize these interfaces is met by using the Design Structure Matrix (DSM) concept, which is widely used in design engineering. It is used here to identify necessary interfaces within the urban system by determining the relevant interface variables and processes. The conceptual model for UrbWellth is used to construct a DSM. The results of a clustering of this UrbWellth-based DSM reveal that the structure of the conceptual model is indeed suitable to serve as a basis for an integrated model. Further, a Multi-Domain DSM (MDDSM), which is an extension of the DSM based on expert knowledge from individual modelers, identified the interface variables for the integrated model components as well as the processes for which different modeling approaches need to be coordinated. Moreover, the approach based on MDDSM identified processes that are not yet covered by the available modeling approaches.
