Same Applications of Game theory in Environmental Management

Managers and planners in order to doing their own program, need to consider the demands of stakeholders in relationship with their work project. Therefore, it is very important to use a method that is understandable and able to communicate between managers and stakeholders in the decision-making process.

Material and

The method of data collection in this study includes library and documentary review and content analysis of studies conducted in this field. In the area of biodiversity conservation, the role of game theory in managing protected areas, as well as the application of this method in the behavioral ecology, has been described. Moreover, in environmental pollution and land allocation, the application of game theory in waste management and land use planning has been investigated respectively.

Game theory is used as a method to solve environmental management problems in developed and developing countries. Whereas game theory can predict stakeholder behavior in the decision-making process, this will solve conflicts between stakeholders.  By applying this method, many environmental problems that are caused by the common use of stakeholders from the environment will be solved.

This article examines the various applications of game theory in three major areas of the environment, namely biodiversity protection, environmental pollution, and land use planning. It is clear that by using this technique, many of the problems facing the country's environmental management can be modeled and solved.
