This study explores a de-bias function for a decision support systems (DSS) that is designed to help a user avoid confirmation bias by increasing the user’s learning opportunities. Grounded upon the theory of mental models, the use of DSS is viewed as involving a learning process, whereby a user is directed to build mental models so as to reduce the tendency to consider only data that supports ...

Climate scenarios require the implementation of climate proof actions. The effectiveness such projects directly depends on knowledge local contexts and built environment’s characteristics in relation to risk conditions. Innovative methods can be implemented through use enabling technologies. Based these considerations, paper proposes Coast-RiskBySea model as support for decision-making coastal ...
