Summary

This study applied cybernetic models to analyze human population dynamics. Environmental influence on communities increases as time spent in younger age groups decreases, suggesting a need for predictive and corrective cybernetic applications.

Area of Science:

  • Cybernetics
  • Anthropology
  • Systems Dynamics

Background:

  • Cybernetics focuses on information transfer and system interactions.
  • Investigating interaction dynamics between anthropological systems and their environment is crucial.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate models of interaction dynamics between an anthropological system and its environment.
  • To apply cybernetic concepts, specifically the equifinality dynamic model and the DYNOPS model, in anthropological research.
  • To analyze communal developments and their environmental interactions.

Main Methods:

  • Applied the equifinality dynamic model with three compartments.
  • Utilized the DYNOPS model with four age-group compartments and the environment.
  • Performed numerous simulations on the census data of Bogomolje village, Hvar Island, Croatia.

Main Results:

  • The influence of the environment on the system increases as time spent in the young age compartment decreases.
  • Identified a drawback in the DYNOPS model where the environment is treated as unchangeable.
  • Demonstrated the application of cybernetic models in analyzing real-world anthropological data.

Conclusions:

  • Cybernetic models can explicate, predict, and correct undesired communal developments.
  • Environmental factors significantly impact anthropological systems, particularly concerning age demographics.
  • Future models should incorporate a dynamic and interactive environment for more accurate simulations.
