Web Based Integrated Models for Participatory Planning
نویسندگان
چکیده
The present paper focuses on the development of an integrated assessment model that embeds the web dimension and aims at increasing awareness in society, especially on environmental issues. The model incorporates features that make it capable of promoting participatory planning procedures in dealing with environmental problems. The first part of the paper presents the notion of both Integrated Assessment (IA) and Participatory Integrated Assessment (PIA). The second part, elaborates on an indicative list of Integrated Assessment Models, while the third part presents an outline of the expert oriented IA-LandGEM model that calculates greenhouse gas emissions. The last part contains the transformation of the LandGEM model into a PIA Model that estimates gas emissions from household waste disposal; incorporates the web dimension and can be used in the context of participatory planning as an increasing awareness tool. Finally, some interesting conclusions are drawn on the use and flexibility of the constructed model.

Investigating Geosparql Requirements for Participatory Urban Planning
We propose that participatory GIS (PGIS) activities including participatory urban planning can be made more efficient and effective if spatial reasoning rules are integrated with PGIS tools to simplify engagement for public contributors. Spatial reasoning is used to describe relationships between spatial entities. These relationships can be evaluated quantitatively or qualitatively using geomet...
متن کاملThe Second Life of urban planning? Using NeoGeography tools for community engagement
The majority of the world’s citizens now live in cities. Although urban planning can thus be thought of as a field with significant ramifications on the human condition, many practitioners feel that it has reached the crossroads in thought leadership between traditional practice and a new, more participatory and open approach. Conventional ways to engage people in participatory planning exercis...
متن کاملCoupling real-time control and socio-economic issues in participatory river basin planning
In this paper an approach for coupling real-time control and socio-economic issues in participatory river basin planning is presented through a case study. It relies on the use of Bayesian Networks (Bns) to describe in a probabilistic way the behaviour of farmers within an irrigation district in response to some planning actions. Bayesian Networks are coupled with classical stochastic hydrologi...

Abstract The present study intended, firstly, to investigate the effect of web-integrated instruction on self-regulated learning ability in EFL writing, and secondly, to compare and contrast the effects of paper-based feedback and web-assisted feedback on the self-regulated learning ability. To this end, a quasi-experimental design was applied for both cases. In line with the first objective, ...
متن کاملExact Mixed Integer Programming for Integrated Scheduling and Process Planning in Flexible Environment
This paper presented a mixed integer programming for integrated scheduling and process planning. The presented process plan included some orders with precedence relations similar to Multiple Traveling Salesman Problem (MTSP), which was categorized as an NP-hard problem. These types of problems are also called advanced planning because of simultaneously determining the appropriate sequence and m...
