Résumé En

This chapter explores the impact of simulation/games on decision making processes, focusing on how they influence social constructs, perceptions, and stakeholder relationships rather than direct decision outcomes. By analyzing multiple case studies, the chapter identifies the factors that link in-game experiences to real-world contexts, such as the degree of alignment between the simulation and reality, role asymmetries, and the flexibility of the game (free-play). It highlights how these elements create a dynamic tension by simultaneously mirroring real world situations (similarities) and introducing shifts or deviations from reality (dissonances), thereby fostering reflective attitudes and transformative effects. Additionally, the chapter emphasizes the importance of the deployment context and participant selection in shaping the outcomes of simulation/games. It concludes by advocating for the integration of local contexts in the co-construction of simulations and calls for broader interdisciplinary research to rethink how we approach the question of their effects in the context of their application with stakeholders of socio-ecological systems. The findings suggest that simulation/games, when aligned with local dynamics and involving the right stakeholders, can significantly enhance collective understanding and action in environmental planning.
