It can be argued that the time and resource costs involved in employing participatory system dynamics modeling (PSDM) methods deny their access to the young researchers facing constraints on available human resources， funding opportunities， client acceptance， expertise， and experience。 Similarly， a large number of communities facing socio-ecological problems are also denied access to PSDM solutions。 This is because these communities lack economic and political wherewithal necessary to attract financial and human resources required to conduct costly and time-consuming PSDM exercises。 The paper presents a review of various types of PSDM methods such as Group Model Building， Mediated Modeling， and Community-Driven System Dynamics。 Drawing from the analysis of PSDM projects based on these methods， this paper proposes a 'Rapid Participatory System Dynamics Modeling' (RPSDM) Method， which can be implemented even with limited time， resources， and expertise。 The method involves three rounds， viz。， Individual， Intermediate， and Plenary。 The paper presents the details of these rounds， in terms of their goals， objectives， preparation， procedures， and importance。 The proposed protocol was implemented to develop a conceptual system dynamics model of the socio-ecological system in the Lake Balaton Watershed region in Hungary。 The paper describes in detail the observations， changes made in the procedures， and lessons from this implementation effort。
