A user-centred virtual city information model for inclusive community design: State-of-art

The concept of community design has evolved with the advancement technology. City information models (CIM), urban digital twin (UDT), and proliferation communication technologies have transformed way society operates led to modernisation traditional methods inclusive decision-makings. However, creating a CIM that effectively aligns diverse interests capabilities (non-expert) users like local inhabitants for active participation can be challenging. In this study, we aim develop virtual explore immersive behaviours in context policy decision-making. To do this, use combination multi-objective programming mixed-media prototyping create CIM, which includes LOD 300 spatial representation, what-if scenario implementation, geo-tagging feedback, easy exploration by stakeholders. was tested real-life exercise Netherlands, Blue Zone Malvalaan, two phases both expert non-expert We evaluated user experience through quantitative qualitative data analysis, focusing on ease-of-use, usefulness, immersion, mental physical comfort, satisfaction. Our research shows how help stakeholders contribute optimisation strengthen decision-making outcomes.
