Knowledge media tools for capturing deliberation in participatory spatial planning

Participatory Spatial Planning is a collaborative governance practice in which different stakeholders, from different organizational levels are involved in a collaborative decision-making process. Capturing deliberation along collaborative decision-making processes is a challenging task. Several stakeholders deliberate in different moments, trying to accomplish different tasks, collaborating and communicating with different people and working in different environments. Knowledge derived from parallel processes, driven and interpreted by different actors, needs to be captured, managed and shared in order to make decision-making transparent, shared and accepted by the local communities.
