An agent-based artificial society is known as a powerful tool for understanding complex group dynamics. In this study, this tool is adopted in the study area of environmental problems, particularly because it represents the society where agents are required to recycle used PCs. Discussions in this paper are focused on how we can navigate such recycling activities of multiagents without ignoring their own decision-making processes. Here, some indirect control methods are introduced and investigated.
