Gamification for Resilience

7 A Platform for ReIDMP

7.1 Introduction

This research proposed the Resilient-Informed Decision-Making Process (ReIDMP) platform for developing resilient city systems. The ReIDMP platform consists of two practical approaches: first is a simulation computer game, SimCity (2013)^®, deployed under the concept of serious gaming. The second approach is the analysis and assessment that must take place to address risk and vulnerability. Risk and vulnerability are integrated into evaluation guidelines and methodologies provided by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and the Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC). This initiative has evolved to enable stakeholders to conduct various risk and vulnerability assessment (VA) based on their own design in a simulated city in a real-world situation to enhance the efficacy of learning experiences relating to the knowledge of risk and vulnerability. The chapter expounds on the approaches undertaken to understand the simulation mechanism of SimCity^® and the productive application of its visualization for sophisticated investigation.

7.2 Design and Development of City Simulation Using SimCity (2013)^®

To ensure the sustainment and resilience of existing and next-generation critical infrastructure (CI) systems, decision makers and stakeholders must be well-informed about past and current problems (Vasuthanasub 2019). Decision makers and stakeholders also need the knowledge and tools to help them analyze, assess, and design ...
