Abstract


Paper  Feedback System to Support Interactive Planning
Track: State and Local Government
Author(s): Kari Mikkonen

The current ideology of interactive planning--in several countries it is also legislation--presumes that citizens are offered a chance and encouraged to participate in the planning process. In real life, the means that have been used so far are limited and very traditional. Soil and Water Ltd. has developed an ArcIMS-based feedback system for interactive planning and used it succesfully in several land use planning and EIA projects. The system supports easy composition and publishing of questions (Internet on mobile phones also) and a real-time analysis of the received feedback. The system also enables exact positioning of comments and spatial analysis of the feedback.
