Abstract
This paper presents research on the potential of interactive media for regional community dialogues on future
uncertainties and complexities in coupled human and natural systems. More adaptive perspectives on natural
resources management are needed to respond to rapid environmental and social change. Scenarios are a useful
tool for participatory explorations of future issues that are high on uncertainties and complexities. We explore
how scenarios can bank on the communicatory effectiveness of interactive media to increase their impact. We
present a method, the Scenario Communities project, currently in testing phase, that combines strategies from
serious gaming, landscape visualization and web 2.0 technology. We also present a number of visual tests that we
use to analyse the effects of the scenario communication.
