Abstract
In this paper, we focus on the hybrid social simulation that is a combination of gaming simulation by human agents and agent based simulation by machine agents. The hybrid social simulation makes it possible to develop social informed and consent process by extending our communication mode. An agent based simulation supports construction, simulation and evaluation of our decision scenarios. However, a gaming simulation supports human understanding the scenarios. Social simulation gives not the model depending on the universal low but the model for the exploration of future possibilities. It gives a constructed social reality that should be shared and used for planning and evaluating the future scenarios. In other words, the social & organizational planning should gives a shared internal model for understanding the future scenarios. The hybridization of agent based simulation and gaming simulation will help us to share the simulated internal model for the scenario.
