The MapTable, an integrative instrument for spatial planning design processes

Abstract

SUMMARY The MapTable being a digital design table that is used as an instrument in spatial planning processes. It is used in a collaborative participatory process in which stakeholders are brought together discussing a new spatial design. The MapTable’s main purpose is to give insight in the spatial relationships in a certain area by making efficiently use of the knowledge of the participants. This combined with the use of a large spatial database and linked process models will result in a time saving, efficient and effective design process. This paper presents the design of the MapTable and the results of the case carried out for the Dutch ministry of transport, public works & water Management. In this case the participants had to make a design with measures for the river to accomplish a water level drop in the river of at least 10 cm. In this experiment all the participants were very enthusiastic working with the MapTable and expressed that it would be a great contribution in the process to improve quality in reaching the objectives.
