    Geodesign in the Planning Practice: Lessons Learnt from Experience in Italy

    Full text link
    In the last two decades or so, the geodesign approach has attracted a growing interest in the community of scholars and practitioners in spatial planning, landscape planning and related disciplines. Research on geodesign has since been flourishing accordingly, and dozens of case studies around the world have been undertaken. Early experimental studies were mostly carried-on in academic settings, occasionally with direct involvement of local stakeholders. More recently, however, the experiences gained in early years of research have offered a solid ground for launching a growing number of applications of geodesign methods to real world planning practice, most notably in strategic planning. This contribution presents the comparison of the results of two real-world case studies developed in Italy by the author, aiming at proposing an early assessment on if, and to what extent, the geodesign approach may be ready to offer an effective solution to most actual needs in the contemporary planning practice with regards to the current evolution of the Italian planning systems

    La complessità delle attuali pratiche di pianificazione territoriale e urbanistica è legata al contesto multidimensionale che ne caratterizza i processi. I recenti sviluppi nel campo delle metodologie e delle tecnologie digitali di progettazione offrono opportunità senza precedenti per supportare la gestione dei processi e per documentare l’evoluzione del progetto. In questo contesto, l’articolo propone i primi risultati di uno studio volto a esplorare le potenzialità dell’analisi dei dati di log di sistemi informatici di supporto alla pianificazione che documentano l’evoluzione dei processi progettuali e i relativi flussi informativi e decisionali, al fine di comprendere le dinamiche del processo di pianificazione. I risultati attuali contribuiscono a definire la struttura di un framework analitico dei processi di geodesign, e più in generale dei processi di pianificazione spaziale.Complexity in current spatial planning practice is mainly linked to the multi-dimensional context characterizing its processes. Recent advances in design methodologies and digital techniques promise unprecedented opportunities not only for managing multiple issues and actors, but also for tracking the evolution of the design options toward the final plan. In this context, the paper explores the potential offered by the collaborative Planning Support System Geodesignhub to record the process workflow and open new path to the design dynamics understanding. We will present the first research efforts toward the development of a geodesign process analytical framework taking account of both theories and cases studies

    Co-Design: digital tools for knowledge-building and decision-making in planning and design = Co-Progetto: strumenti digitali per la costruzione della conoscenza e il supporto alle decisioni nella progettazione collaborativa

    L’utilizzo di strumenti digitali, oggi ampiamente diffuso nei processi progettuali, ha aperto enormi possibilità operative non solo per gli aspetti specializzati, ma anche per sviluppare forme di progettazione collaborativa e partecipata. Con questa strumentazione l’esplorazione di soluzioni alternative, dalla pianificazione alla scala territoriale ed ambientale fino alla progettazione alla scala dell’oggetto edilizio ed architettonico, potenzialmente diventa più rapida e di più agevole comprensione e valutazione. Queste potenzialità rendono ora importanti, per una realizzazione ancor più̀ efficace dei progetti alle varie scale, la definizione e l’implementazione di requisiti di interoperabilità (non solo di formati!) che ottimizzino l’integrazione delle informazioni fra i vari settori progettuali. Si vuole con questa tematica di co-design favorire non solo l’indagine sulla costruzione del progetto alle varie scale (in questo caso quella ambientale ed urbana), ma anche centrare l’attenzione sul carattere specifico del Disegno progettuale, che deve poter rappresentare una “interfaccia comunicativa” completa e comprensibile per tutti i soggetti coinvolti nel processo.Digital tools for design process, nowadays extensively popular, opened enormous operational possibilities, not only for technical practices, but also to collaborative and participatory design. Through these technological innovations, from urban planning and environmental design applications to the practice of architecture, exploration of alternative solutions is potentially faster being also potentially effective and easier understand and assess processes. In order to create more effective design workflows at different scales, this capability requires the definition and the implementation of interoperability (not limited to setting formats!) that optimizes the integration of information among the various project sectors. Within this framework of co-design it is expected to highlight not only research and practice related to building at different scales (environmental and urban process), but also to focus on the specific character of drawing applications, which should be able to present an understandable "communicative interface" for everyone involved

    TOWARDS A NOVEL APPROACH TO GEODESIGN ANALYTICS

    Full text link
    The adoption of sustainability principles in current European regulatory framework which affect spatial planning and environmental protection, such as Directive 2001/42/C, introduced the need for collaboration and participation in spatial planning practices aiming at achieving more evidence-based, transparent and democratic decision making. However, the involvement of a wide range of actors, along with traditional collaborative and participatory methods, makes it often diffi cult to grasp the dynamics which drive the process towards the fi nal decision. Emerging design methodologies and increased recourse to advanced information technologies promise unprecedented opportunities not only for applying a system approach and coordinating involved actors, but also for tracking the evolution of the design alternatives toward the fi nal plan. In this context, this paper explores the potential offered by the collaborative Planning Support System Geodesignhub to ease and record the process workfl ow of geodesign studies. The paper describes underlying theories, research questions formulation and the fi rst results of the analysis of empirical data on the Cagliari Geodesign case study. The set of variables and relations identifi ed in this research endeavor represents the fi rst effort towards the development of an operation framework for geodesign process analysis, which may potentially contribute to clarify the relationships between the knowledge base and the actors in the planning process. The aim is to earning a deeper understanding of the process dynamics for more informed, transparent, and democratic planning, design and decision-making. KEYWORD

    OPPORTUNITIES FOR AN EFFECTIVE USE OF SOCIAL MEDIA GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION (SMGI) WITHIN GEODESIGN APPROACH

    Full text link
    This contribution focuses on two types of georeferenced User-Generated Content (geo-UGC): Volunteered Geographic Information (VGI) and Social Media Geographic Information (SMGI): both can be profitably used in spatial planning practices, thanks to the high potential of the information they enclose. Several case studies, developed by the authors, are presented to illustrate how geo-UGC can be used in different stages of spatial planning processes, supporting a more multifaceted understanding of places, contributing to more participatory processes, and fostering the collaboration between decision-makers in spatial planning practices. The Geodesign approach has been used as a base framework to underpin the discussion. In addition, the case studies show how geo-UGC can be advantageous in knowledge building on the current regional and urban dynamics, in identifying possible alternatives and in finding agreement on preferred future developments

    Il contributo è volto a presentare e discutere alcuni aspetti connessi a due processi di introduzione di sistemi informativi territoriali e urbani nell’ambito di enti locali territoriali di piccole e medie dimensioni in Sardegna. Il primo riguarda la costruzione di un sistema di aiuto alla pianificazione e alla gestione di un piano urbanistico, mentre il secondo interessa l’informatizzazione di una serie di processi e di istruttorie tipici dell’amministrazione dell’ente locale. Particolare attenzione sarà dedicata a porre l’accento su come l’introduzione di tali processi, che possono considerarsi innovativi per gli enti coinvolti possa basarsi sulla realizzazione di singoli progetti pilota. Tramite tale strategia, è possibile concepire una modernizzazione organizzativa graduale, acquisire le nuove tecnologie in maniera non traumatica per il personale, familiarizzare con i nuovi strumenti e, allo stesso tempo, eseguire le prime valutazioni dei costi e dei benefici che ne derivano
