FINAL PROGRAM and DETAILED PROGRAM
Workshop: Collaborative geodesign in strategic spatial planning
Presenter: Carl Steintz, Hrishi Ballal (on skype), Tess Canfield, Michele Campagna
Duration: 8-hour course, H 09:00-17:30
Max 30 full-time participants – First come, first served.
Cost 50 euro or free for registered person at the INPUT2018 conference
Description:
The focus of the workshop will be rapid collaborative design of plan alternatives (syntheses) by teams and its dynamic impacts assessment. We will be using Geodesignhub. The software is a user-friendly Planning Support System implementing a digital web-based workflow informed by a systems-approach. It is designed to support the rapid creation of conceptual designs to address large and complex geodesign problems. It enables to foster pro-active collaboration among professionals and stake-holders mediating diverging priorities and conflicting interests through negotiation, especially while defining strategies and actions during the early stages of the planning process. The negotiations among teams which began with differing decision priorities and produced alternative designs highlight the value of a geodesign approach in accelerating progress toward agreement for the future of the study area. Geodesignhub has a simple user interface which uses ubiquitous web technology and communicationsystems. It can easily incorporate existing and diverse spatial data sources as inputs and produce digital outputs, enabling users to collaborate in person and/or over the internet in real time to produce designs and assess them.
Prerequisites:
Familiarity with the book Steinitz C (2012) A Framework for Geodesign: changing Geography by design. Esri Press, Redlands (original version), or Carl Steinitz (2017) Un Framework per il Geodesign: Trasformare la Geografia con il Progetto. Edizione Italiana a cura di Michele Campagna. ISBN-13: 979-1220023696
Please do read the book either in English or in Italian, as it places geodesign synthesis in its broader context.
More information will be sent before the workshop to the registered participants
QGIS Hackfest
QGIS is a user friendly Open Source Geographic Information System (GIS) licensed under the GNU General Public License. It is widely used in the world in both public administrations and private companies. The QGIS community is made of enthusiastic people (developers, documentation writers, users) that give the free time to enhance QGIS capabilities and spread it to the rest of the world.
The QGIS hackfests are an important aspect of the project, playing a key role in facilitating collaboration and planning within the community of developers and contributors who combine their efforts to put out three releases of QGIS each year. QGIS hackfests are opened to everybody who want to give a contribute to QGIS: coding, documenting, translating and all other collaboration types you find useful to enhance the QGIS community.
The QGIS hackfest of Saturday 8 September is open to everyone interested to participate and it is free.
