8.4 Technical Coefficient in View of Economic Restriction
(T
4 C
4
)
Each activity has be evaluated in view of socioeconomic indicators such as demand
on labor, capital, farm land, and the benefit the activity provides for income generation of farmers. The outcome of this evaluation in our LP modeling language is
termed as technical coefficient. Technical coefficients address the demand of the
activities concerning the restrictions and deliver the values of each activity for the
goal function. Therefore, in other words, technical coefficients link the activities
and restrictions and deliver the values for the right-hand side of the LP equation
system (for left-hand side see C
1 ).
8.5 Technical Coefficient in View of Ecological Restriction
(T
5 C
5
)
Each activity has also been well evaluated in view of ecological indicators such as
biodiversity, soil quality, erosion, water quality, nutrient cycling, and air pollution.
The outcome of this evaluation in our LP modeling language is termed as
bio-technical coefficients. Bio-technical coefficients address the effects of the
activities on the ecological parameters. Bio-technical coefficients in the LP equation
systems link the activities to ecological parameters and deliver the values for the
right-hand side (for left-hand side see C
1 ).
8.6 Scenario Results/Outcome of the Model (T
6 C
6
)
Scenario results in terms of production, economic, and ecologic viewpoints which
emerged from the farmers’ decisions under the specific scenario that represents a
specific set of drivers (for detail please see C
1 ). Results show which production
system farmers would choose under specific circumstances, what is the income
anticipated with this decision, and what is the ecological performance of the
resulting landscape management. Results would show the ex post analysis as well
as ex ante analysis; the latter has great importance in analysis of the impact of
policy options. Economic results could be produced in the form of tables and
figures, while spatial and temporal dimensions of the ecological results could be
produced in GIS maps. The linkage between economic and ecological outcome
could be demonstrated by means of trade-offs. Superimposing of theory and concepts is summarized in Table 2 concerning the theoretical and conceptual model
dimensions.
