SIRKA: Enn Simulatiespel van een Ruilverkaveling (SIRKA: A Simulation of Land Consolidation)

摘要

The SIRKA simulation has been designed to enable students to get acquainted with some difficulties concerning land consolidation planning. SIRKA is a role-playing game involving two different groups: the dairy farmers and the government (Government Service for Land and Water Use and the Land Consolidation Service). The area has certain qualities which make it suitable to establish a nature reserve. Now the parties disagree when the government proposes measures meant to protect the scenery and the farmers stress the importance of farm enlargement. This publication provides some background information about simulation games followed by a description of the rules of SIRKA. Finally some experiences with SIRKA are shown.
