Resumo: Abstract There is growing interest among urban health researchers in addressing complex problems using conceptual and computation models from the field of complex systems. Agent-based modeling (ABM) is one computational modeling tool that has received a lot of interest. However, many researchers remain unfamiliar with developing and carrying out an ABM, hindering the understanding and application of it. This paper first presents a brief introductory guide to carrying out a simple agent-based model. Then, the method is illustrated by discussing a previously developed agent-based model, which explored inequalities in diet in the context of urban residential segregation.

La modelación basada en agentes (MBA) es una herramienta de modelación computacional que suscita cada vez más interés. Sin embargo, varios estudiosos todavía no se encuentran familiarizados con el desarrollo e implementación de un MBA, lo que dificulta su aplicación y comprensión. En este artículo se ofrece inicialmente una breve guía introductoria para llevar a cabo un simple modelo basado en agentes. De esta manera el método se ilustra discutiendo un modelo basado en agentes, desarrollado previamente, que explora las desigualdades en la dieta en un contexto de segregación residencial urbana.Resumo Há um interesse crescente entre os pesquisadores de saúde urbana em trabalhar com problemas complexos utilizando modelos conceituais e computacionais do campo de sistemas complexos.
