L’agriculture constitue aujourd’hui l’un des principaux utilisateurs de la ressource en eau. Dans ce contexte, de nombreux travaux ont mis en avant l’intérêt des compteurs communicants pour mieux gérer cette ressource. Néanmoins, ces compteurs posent des questions en termes d’acceptabilité, ce qui nuit à la diffusion de ces technologies auprès des agriculteurs. Nous proposons donc de recourir à la simulation à base d’agents pour mieux comprendre les dynamiques et les freins à leur diffusion. Contrairement à la grande majorité des travaux sur la diffusion d’innovations qui se limitent à une représentation abstraite et simplifiée de ce processus, nous proposons dans cet article un modèle générique reposant sur la théorie du comportement planifié et sur l’argumentation formelle permettant d’expliquer les raisons du changement d’opinion d’un agent, élément fondamental pour comprendre la dynamique de diffusion de l’innovation. Chaque agent a ainsi la possibilité d’échanger des arguments avec un autre et de construire son opinion sur une innovation à partir de l’ensemble des arguments qu’il connaît. Les premières expérimentations menées à partir de données recueillies auprès des agriculteurs de la rivière du Louts montrent une tendance à une plus grande adoption de ces compteurs et soulignent l’importance que peuvent avoir les fake news ainsi que certains arguments critiques sur le processus d’adoption.
Agriculture is one of the main users of water resources today. In this context, many studies have highlighted the interest of communicating meters to better manage this resource. Nevertheless, these meters raise questions in terms of acceptability, which hinders the diffusion of these technologies to farmers. We therefore propose to use agent-based simulation to better understand the dynamics and obstacles to their diffusion. Contrary to the vast majority of works on the diffusion of innovations, which are limited to an abstract and simplified representation of this process, we propose in this article a generic model based on the theory of planned behavior, and on formal argumentation in order to explain the reasons for the change of opinion of an agent, which is a fundamental element to understand the dynamics of diffusion of innovation. Each agent has thus the possibility to exchange arguments with another agent and to build his/her opinion on an innovation from the set of arguments he/she knows. The first experiments carried out with data collected from farmers of the Louts river show a tendency towards a greater adoption of these meters, as well as the importance that fake news and certain critical arguments can have on the adoption process.
