Toward a geodesign process analytics = Verso un’analisi di processo di geodesign
Full text linkLa 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
TOWARDS A NOVEL APPROACH TO GEODESIGN ANALYTICS
Full text linkThe 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
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
