title = "Community engagement in water resources planning using serious gaming",
abstract = "The necessity to optimize the use of water resources and to raise the awareness of different categories of stakeholders to competing user demands requires development of systems analyses involving big data situations. The paper presents a virtual problem-solving environment aimed at engaging individual citizens and communities in decision making using a game-like approach. A web-based environment was developed and successfully used for delivering the game into the community. The web-platform entailed the technical aspects of the multi-hazard mitigation planning (including visualization of the selected scenarios) as well as the mechanics of the game delivery (instructions for platform usage, compilation of scores, etc).",
