Abstract
Small island communities in the Pacific Ocean can be generic examples of well-defined systems where population growth, global market forces and climate change all exert pressure on the fragile production systems. Modern technology, simulation modelling and state of the art knowledge will be applied in the study, providing the best tools for understanding the persistence or collapse of civilizations living in confined spaces with limited resources.
