“…Hence, geodesign momentum is partially due to the current maturity of geo-information technologies, which after a few decades of evolution are now enabling the implementation of user-friendly, interactive, dynamic PSS [33]. In order to bridge the gap between PSS research and practice [34], Campagna [16] proposed that PSS design should derive from the design of planning process, or meta-planning. In the realm of geodesign, Steinitz [9] provided a robust and flexible framework, which can be used to organize planning and design processes.…”

“…Indeed, such measures (indicators) could be used in post-workshop de-briefings, or even during a workshop to prevent possible behavioral bottleneck situations with the help of e-dashboards. In regard to process dynamics, by analyzing log-data it might be possible to better understand collaborative design process dynamics and use this insight to better prepare future processes following a meta-planning approach [16].…”

“…In this way we can effectively organize the available information and identify the process dynamics that should be investigated. We, therefore, performed the decision situation assessment for those aspects that could be measured (Table 1; aspects 5,7,11,16) or calculated (aspect 14 "Appropriation of information aids influence", aspect 19 "Emergence of group participant influence") and we linked them together to "map" different relationships. The first set of operational-level research questions underpinning the study of the geodesign process dynamics were then formulated.…”

“…Information and communication technology (ICT) tools and geo-information technologies (e.g., data visualization, sketching tools, interactive web mapping and services) not only support key planning tasks [15], but also for the first time allow the automated collection of structured quantitative data about the cognitive acts of computer aid users. The acquired knowledge may provide useful guidelines for improving future planning processes and existing digital tools under a meta-planning perspective, and also be instrumental in developing new process-oriented supporting technology [16]. To date, research on urban and regional planning process dynamics has relied mainly on traditional data gathering techniques (i.e., video recording, direct observation, survey), time-consuming coding systems and, therefore, on interpreted data and a limited number of analyzed dimensions/variables [10].…”

Recent advances in planning support technologies has enabled interactive collaboration in design processes by multiple stakeholder groups. The available technologies collect and store information on both the evolution of design alternatives and the interactions of participants involved in the design process. However, making sense of available process log-data is still a challenge. This study focuses on process analytics in geodesign studies, where iterative collaboration between stakeholders generates design alternatives and consensus by negotiation. Early findings demonstrate how geodesign process analytics makes it possible to gain insights both in recurrent patterns in participant behavior and in the evolution of the design. The approach, based on the enhanced adaptive structuration theory framework, has been tested using data collected by the Geodesignhub web-based collaborative planning support systems in the Cagliari (Italy) geodesign study.

“…Among the issues to be addressed for improving PSS diffusion, Geertman and Stillwell [21] argued their design should be more tightly related to the contextual planning and design process, in order to better meet the user's needs. Along the same line, Campagna [22] argued the need for more process orientation in PSS design. Geodesign methods, and in particular the Steinitz's framework for geodesign [23], may help in this respect as it supplies a guide for the organization of the full planning and design process in a way that is adaptable to contextual local conditions.…”

In the last decades green infrastructure planning, design, and management have been widely recognized as a way to contribute to reach higher levels of sustainability of development. However, often green infrastructures are considered in a sectoral way, while their design should be more integrated within comprehensive planning and design. The paper proposes the use of geodesign methods and technology to support the early phases of integrated strategic territorial planning, in order to enrich the relationships between the design of green infrastructure and of the other relevant systems via more comprehensive planning and design, and by applying systems thinking. A case study developed with architecture and engineering students under the umbrella of the International Geodesign Collaboration is used, to demonstrate how with intensive geodesign workshops it is possible to create spatially explicit design scenarios which take into account the relationships between green infrastructure and other territorial systems and dynamics. A set of analyses on the case study results of the two scales is used to demonstrate the assumption. It is also argued that geodesign intensive workshops can, in a very short time, contribute to raising the awareness among the participants of collaborative design to the importance of green infrastructure in strategic territorial planning.Sustainability 2020, 12, 1820 2 of 22 movement [4]. Connectivity and multi-functionality are considered key characteristics for the GI to remain resilient to change [1,5]. The first characteristic is related to the need of biotic functional groups to have not only high-quality living and restoration space (i.e., core areas), but also to be able to move across patches in order to support genetic diversity [6]. The second characteristic concerns the ability of a GI to perform several functions in the same spatial area related to the provision of a variety of Ecosystem Services (ESs), serving a range of functions for both nature and society.Due to its multi-sectorial nature, GI requires a holistic and cross-sectorial approach to spatial planning in order to both stimulating possible synergies and coordinating initiatives, and to avoid the consequent risk of conflicts between objectives related to different goals [1]. recognize the central role of GI in guiding the early stage of the planning process across the different levels (i.e., regional, municipal and project scale) and proposed a reform of the legal framework of landscape and urban planning at the Autonomous Region of Valencia by identifying a unique GI as an ecological-based tool to overcome fragmentation and to interconnect all the different policies concerning landscape protection. Over the last decades a wide range of GI projects have been carried out on local, regional, national and trans-boundary levels, highlighting the necessity for projects defined in different scales to be closely interconnected and coordinated in order to maximize the GI benefits.Green infrastructure can be reinforced through str...
