What is an Action
An action is an activity a Stakeholder can perform to achieve his objective. 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.
How do actions relate to Tygron Engine
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.
What is a Category
A Category is a container to group Actions and keep them organized. Users have different actions available to reach their objectives on indicators, since many roads lead to Rome.
Effects of Actions on Indicators
Actions players take have an effect on indicators. Planning 8.100m2 of "Stadspark" in the Bedrijventerrein template (action), increases the Quality of Life indicator (effect) by 21.8%. The effect of the actions on indicators can be changed. For information about effects of actions see function values.
