Objectives: (1) To define and characterize clusters of smallholders' livelihood systems and contexts in Aral Sea Region (ASR); (2) To develop an aggregated system dynamics model for agro pastoral livelihood system as (socioecological system) capturing livelihood contexts and key drivers of change in Aral Sea region; and (3) To inform stakeholders (including policy decision-makers) on a portfolio of leverage points and processes needed for improving natural resources and livelihood resilience based on comparing systems' scenarios explored by the developed system dynamics model. Methods: Livlihood typology analysis [objective (1)]; System dynamics (SD) modelling in specific to likelihood types (Vensim/Nelogo sofware) [objective (2)]; SLM adaption analysis and applied for calibrating agent's decision (Vensim/Netlogo sofware) [objective (2)]; and participatory approach used for the entire process [objective (3)]. Gender dimension: Gender aspects are considered in the participatory specification of variables and outputs, and in the way the model is used for informing stakeholders' land/farm management.
