An action is an activity a Stakeholder can perform to achieve his objective (See:[[target]]). A typical example of an action would be a Housing Corporation aiming to realize social housing, or a Waterboard aiming to realize open water. Actions are tied to specific Stakeholders, referring to the capability each stakeholder has to influence the [[3D World]]. For example the waterboard has the capability to realize Open water, but not social housing or roads.

Example of planning an Action and the Effects

When a user plans an action it will influence the 3D World and have a certain effect on Indicators. The effect of the planned action simulates the effect the action would have in the real world. When a plants new trees, this action would have an effect on the indicator Quality of Life. Since a player can have different actions available to reach their targets, actions are organized into Categories.

Examples of Actions

  • Social Housing: The Housing Corporation aims to build 300 social houses. One of the actions available would be "Social Housing". When the user realizes "Social Housing", progress is made on the indicator: building.
  • Build Open Water: The Waterboard aims to realize 300m2 "Open Water". One of the Actions available would be "Open Water". When the user realizes "Open Water" he scores on the indicator: water storage.

Overview of Actions and Categories

Users have different options to reach their objectives on indicators, since many roads lead to Rome. A Category is a container to group Actions and keep them organized.

Examples of a Category

Example: The Municipality has 5 different types of "Parken" Available. The Category available for the Housing Corporation would be "Parken" with the different "Actions" ("Stadspark", "Fontein", "Speeltuin", "Skatepark", "Loofbomen") neatly organized inside this Category.

  • Parken (Category)
    • Stadspark (Action)
    • Fontein (Action)
    • Speeltuin (Action)
    • Skatepark (Action)
    • Loofbomen (Action)
