E-governance is one area in which the use of simulation could help the decision maker to take better decisions with positive impact in the society. The Multi Agent Systems (MAS) models were already used to foster e-participation in which citizens could be involved in the design of urban policies that affects their habitat environment. Coloured Petri Net (CPN) models have been already used as a base to develop MAS models in Repast Simphony. This paper presents the use case developed in FUPOL for Yantai, China. The model will be used to decide which policy to use in order to establish a criteria to force industries to upgrade (to reduce consumptions and pollution) or to close. Results will show how different are the closed industries during a simulation depending on the indicators weights in the cost function.
