Overview
This model is an amalgamation of the Easter Island and Steven D'Alessandro's Derby mountain biking versus logging simulations. It shows the variables that comprise both Sustainable Timber Tasmania and mountain bike tourism in Derby, Tasmania. Plus, it demonstrates their potential effect on each others' revenue streams.
How the Model Works
The model works by showing the processes for each industry, the points at which they interact, and their resulting impact on each others performance over time.This ideally provides a way to optimise performance in both.
Interesting Insights
It appears that it is possible for the two industries to coexist. The amount of forest stock required to be left over to create a scenic forest fringe is negligible to forestry production efficiency. However, it contributes greatly to mountain biker perceptions of scenery and adventure. Knowing this can help promote profit in both industries, moving forward.
