<b>A aplicação da modelagem computacional na identificação de problemas ambientais</b>

Abstract

The article, exposed as a continuation, presents a proposal for the use of the computational modeling in the formulation of environmental projects in schools, especially in the identification of environmental problems. It presents an abbreviation of a methodology that was published in Colombia to formulate environmental projects, making emphases in the description of Matrix of Vester, which was proposed as a tool to establish degrees of causality among the environmental problems. However the use of the Matrix of Vester presents some difficulties since, it doesn't sometimes allow having a holistic view of the relationships and interactions that have the problems amongst themselves. This is the fundamental reason to introduce the computational modeling through the use of the VISQ program as a complement of the matrix, since this allows developing in the users a systemic thought.
