Teaching Scenario-Based Planning for Sustainable Landscape Development: An Evaluation of Learning Effects in the Cagliari Studio Workshop

Abstract

This paper investigates the contributions of an intensive educational workshop to advance students' understanding and skills for collaborative, scenario-based landscape planning. The research design involves a case study workshop with thirty international students and several regional experts as well as a multi-stage, in-process evaluation. The workshop resulted in six different alternative futures for the region of Cagliari, Italy, and a seventh combined version that was considered best by regional reviewers. The students' learning evaluation showed substantial advances in their relevant understanding and skills. Key aspects of the workshop pedagogy and the evaluation are discussed, and recommendations for future applications presented.

Effectiveness of Incorporating the Concept of City Sustainability into Sustainability Education Programs

“…This analysis enabled the use of a scenario-based approach to address the high uncertainty in Jakarta's future development. The scenario-based approach allows for the evaluation of multiple development patterns and an assessment of their respective impacts [42,43].…”

“…The multiple aspects of city sustainability that were included in our educational materials are expected to enhance systems-thinking competence through a holistic analysis of complex systems across environmental, social, and economic domains, which has long been recognized as a central component for achieving sustainability literacy [46,47]. An introduction to the scenario-based approach is expected to increase the anticipatory competence [42]. The Case Method reflecting real-world issues with multi-faceted sustainability dimensions and the cognitive-map production was expected to bolster the normative and strategic competencies.…”

An Analytic Approach to Understanding Process Dynamics in Geodesign Studies

“…The choice of the study area was motivated by real challenges facing the Metropolitan Government in coordinating the planning effort of a geographically wide area including 17 municipalities, each of which traditionally planned only within their own boundaries. The same area was the subject of a geodesign study held in 2009 at the University of Cagliari and involving 30 international students in an intensive planning workshop characterized by a mix of analog and digital techniques [44]. Despite its academic nature, the study involved a local coordination team (comprising 10 experts in architecture, planning, and environmental engineering) who spent three months part-time implementing the preparatory phase of the geodesign process (i.e., knowledge building, GDH project set-up).…”

Geodesign Process Analytics: Focus on Design as a Process and Its Outcomes

“…In the last decade, the geodesign approach to spatial planning has attracted the interest of the academic community [9,11,12], business companies [13] and institutional environments [14,15]. Ervin [16,17] identified "15 essential components of an ideal geodesign toolbox" associating to each of them a specific set of digital tools.…”
