“…Community participation has an irreplaceable role in the development planning process of a region. Involving and educating the community consistently, both formal and informal communication are participatory steps that can be developed [34]. Based on the results of the identification of 15 attributes/variables that have leverage on village development, representatives of village development stakeholders then held a meeting to get an agreement on determining the attributes/variables that have a major influence on village development.…”

The purpose of this study is to identify the factors that influence the sustainability of village development and scenarios for village development models in the Bukit Rimbang Bukit Baling Wildlife Reserve area in Kampar Regency. The analytical approach used to answer the research objectives is the Participatory Prospective Analysis method. The results of this study indicate that the dominant variables that are sensitive to increasing village development in the Bukit Rimbang Bukit Baling Wildlife Reserve area in Kampar Regency are village connectivity, basic service facilities and infrastructure, community empowerment, amenity resources, integration and synergy of village development. Interventions on these dominant variables in the minimum, optimal and maximum scenarios can improve the status of village development from less sustainable in the existing conditions to good/quite sustainable in the future. The sustainable village development scenario offers a more balanced development process between environmental, social, economic, legal, and governance dimensions.

“…Therefore, the degree of participation, the level of influence, and the decision space of stakeholders are critical to achieving responsible landuse planning [9]. However, globally, there is still a lack of active stakeholder participation in land-use planning [1,4,7,[10][11][12]. Land-use decisions are made mainly by local authorities, excluding various stakeholders who bear the outcome of such decisions [1][2][3]5,13].…”

The role Land 2023, 12, 538 2 of 17 of stakeholders in various government and private planning models is mainly to choose among a set of scenarios; participate in surveys with no opportunity to come up with other suggestions, data, models, or solutions; or interact with planning officials [1,4,10,11]. This form of participation is "passive", noninteractive, and one-directional, and there are no real negotiations or deliberations involved.…”

Digital Twin for Active Stakeholder Participation in Land-Use Planning

The active participation of stakeholders is a crucial requirement for effective land-use planning (LUP). Involving stakeholders in LUP is a way of redistributing the decision-making power and ensuring social justice in land-management interventions. However, owing to the growing intricacy of sociopolitical and economic relations and the increasing number of competing claims on land, the choice of dynamic land use has become more complex, and the need to find balances between social, economic, and environmental claims and interests has become less urgent. These facts reflect a paradigm shift from top-down, noninteractive, and one-directional policymaking approaches to a more negotiable, bottom-up, deliberative, and responsible one. Geospatial industries claim that digital twin technology is a potential facilitator that improves the degree of stakeholder participation and influences land-use planning. The validity of this claim is, however, unknown. By adopting the integrative literature review, this study identifies where in LUP is stakeholder participation much needed and currently problematic, as well as how digital twin could potentially improve. The review shows that digital twins provide virtual visualisation opportunities for the identification of land-use problems and the assessment of the impacts of the proposed land uses. These offer the opportunity to improve stakeholder influence and collaboration in LUP, especially in the agenda-setting phase, where land-use issues could be identified and placed on the LUP agenda. This relies on the ability and willingness of local planning institutions to adopt digital twins, and stakeholders’ perception and willingness to use digital twins for various land-use goals. Despite the assertion that digital twins could improve the influence of stakeholders in LUP, the focus and the development of digital twins have not accomplished much for those features of the technology that could improve stakeholder influence in LUP. By adopting the principles of the social construction of technology, this study proposes a “technological fix” of digital twins to focus more on improving stakeholder influence on land-use planning.

“…Some individuals actively participate in this process by contributing to the development of a legal and economic framework for land management; some transform geographic space by relying on modern technologies and administrative tools, whereas others use space within the existing legal limits. As evidenced by Kopáček [10], civic participation has an irreplaceable role in the land-use planning process because it contributes a practical perspective to expert knowledge.…”
