adaptive systems has enabled him to develop a computer simulation model that represents the likely evolution of cooperative networks of Balinese rice farmers.2 Lansing attributes both theoretical and practical significance to his model and this is accepted by others (e.g., Asian Development Bank, 1988). Theoretical significance is claimed to lie in showing the explanatory power of models of complex adaptive systems, and the practical value of alternative models has been set aside in favor of… Expand

The Functional Role of Balinese Water Temples: A Response to Critics
In earlier publications we have proposed a model to explain the functional role of water temple networks in the agro-ecology of wet rice irrigation on the island of Bali. We argued that the key… Expand
Coordination in irrigation systems: An analysis of the Lansing–Kremer model of Bali
TLDR
Using the original Lansing–Kremer model, the robustness of their insights was analyzed and the ability of agents to self-organize was found to be sensitive to pest dynamics and assumptions of agent decision making. Expand
Geographical explanations for the distribution of irrigation institutions: Cases from Southeast Asia
In the course of time a wide variety of irrigation structures have been built in Southeast Asia, ranging from small-scale systems with simple weirs and off-take canals, to large-scale canal systems… Expand

The Subak in Diaspora: Balinese Farmers and the Subak in South Sulawesi

  • Human ecology: an interdisciplinary journal
  • 2011
TLDR
A comparison between two Balinese settlements in the same system shows that differences in infrastructural and managerial conditions and arrangements between parts of the irrigation system were major determinants of the institutional space allowed for the subak and ways in which the subaks developed.

Modelling socio-hydrological systems: a review of concepts, approaches and applications
TLDR
The nature of socio-hydrological modelling, being interdisciplinary, focusing on complex interactions between human and natural systems, and dealing with long horizons, is such that modelling will always present a challenge; it is the task of the modeller to use the wide range tools afforded to them to overcome these challenges as much as possible.

Novel modelling approaches and data sources in socio-hydrology
Increasing interactions between anthropogenic and hydrological systems have prompted the development of a new way of thinking in water resource management: socio-hydrology. Sociohydrology explicitly… Expand

Bali has figured prominently in debates on the question of whether irrigation centralizes state power. New evidence shows that irrigation is actually organized by networks of “water temples” that… Expand

Managing Tropical Rice Pests Through Conservation of Generalist Natural Enemies and Alternative Prey
TLDR
The results demonstrate the existence of a mechanism in tropical irrigated rice systems that supports high levels of natural biological control, which depends on season l ong successional processes and interactions among a wide array of species, many of which have hitherto been ignored as important elements in a rice ecosystem.

System-dependent Selection, Ecological Feedback and the Emergence of Functional Structure in Ecosystems.
TLDR
This paper examines the unusual evolutionary dynamics that occur when changes in the distribution of phenotypes (resulting from selection) alter an environmental parameter in ways that, in turn, modify selection pressures, and uses James Lovelock's model of the imaginary planet Daisyworld to describe this process.
