Abstract

Last decades are characterized by the use of complexity approach in analyzing social group formation mechanism. Some of the approaches is landscape theory which assumes that parties movement to lower area reflects the increase of fitness between partners in a group. This approach allows the analysis of several heterogeneous and decentralized actors that take decision independently in establishing stable group. The existing models of landscape approach, indeed, have been evidenced in explaining phenomenon under scrutiny. Nevertheless, the factors in the original landscape do not fit some cases. It seems that there is opportunity to improve these models by introducing new factors to replace the existing. This paper provides rough evidences, in which, the new factors are able to explain the phenomenon similar to that have been explained by the original (existing) factors. Moreover, the new factors are also able to model the phenomenon that cannot be explained by the original factors. These evidence show that introducing the new factors and replacing the existing expand the coverage of landscape model.
