Abstract
Abstract. This paper discusses the state of the art in Geodesign, as a result from the evolution in the use of geospatial data for shared and co-creative planning. The evolution of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) led to significant advances in geovisualization, the use of cartographic data via the Internet and the construction of SDIs (Spatial Data Infrastructures). These advances fostered the emergence of Geodesign as one of the foundations for territorial planning. The text will also introduce a Brazilian Geodesign platform, GISColab, developed according to the standards set by the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC). The platform introduces layer creation resources via WPS (Web Processing Service), as well as tools for measuring the performance of participatory planning workshops, presently focusing on the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). We introduce case studies in which SDGs were explored in different ways: in post-workshop analyses conducted by coordinators and participants, as well as its application as a supportive tool for decision-making during the workshop, via WPS. Finally, we also discuss the inclusion of SDGs to raise awareness of its key themes and support opinion building, resulting in transformative learning experiences.
Highlights
Cartography is the science of representing the Earth, associating an artistic component with a technical one, that is, the ability to capture and display spatial information
The evolution in the use of cartography as part of everyday life starts with Geographic Information System (GIS), as they expand our ability to store and distribute information
The role of GIS was amplified with the Internet, which allowed geographic information to underline most of the information consumed in a global scale, in recent times
Summary
Cartography is the science of representing the Earth, associating an artistic component (a representation of culture according to its ways of seeing the world) with a technical one, that is, the ability to capture and display spatial information. The process-oriented approach further explored the possibilities for the creation of frameworks that were based on the logic of planning systems that were used in other fields Within this evolution, GIS progressively transformed data into information and information into knowledge, achieving gains in the technological, methodological, and user-related fields. If cartographic information is well developed and presented to users, it allows them to build further knowledge of the territory, which is the first stage of a participatory planning process. The term territory, in that sense, is defined according to the principles presented by Dematteis and Giverna (2005), because it is constituted by the relationship between the social and the environmental, as the object of dispute and productive relationships This concept is at the heart of shared planning
