Symposium
Goal
Researchers
and practitioners of urban planning have had a variable interest in developing
and applying
methods of public participation since the 1970s, when the rational model of
planning started to
be criticized as
technocratic, top-down, and
separated from communities. The interest
in methods accelerated in the mid-1990s, accompanied by the developments in
public participation
geographic information systems (PPGIS) and participatory GIS (PGIS). The
arrival of Web2 in
2000s and improvements
in geographic information
technologies resulted in the
proliferation
of geographically related tools and Web services (Geoweb) for individuals and groups.
Developments in P/PGIS, volunteered geographic information (VGI), and Geoweb
have been
recently paralleled by the growth of holistic approach to public participation
in urban planning
exemplified by Geodesign – a process
relying on geographic digital methods and tools for integrating
analysis, evaluation, design
and public involvement
in urban and
regional planning.
Despite much interest
in participatory methods
rooted in mapping
and visualization of geographical
data, there has not been a gathering of
scholars in P/PGIS, VGI, Geoweb, and Geodesign sharing
their research and
learning from one
another. The symposium
Modern Methods
and Tools for Public Participation in Urban Planning 2017 will offer an opportunity for scholars to
critically discuss methodological underpinnings
of geographically-explicit participatory methods
in urban planning
and share their
experiences with applications
in realistic
planning settings. The format of the symposium with fewer papers than at many
larger conferences
will provide an ample time for meaningful discussion and offer an opportunity
to foster
future research collaborations.
