“…As well, real-time design feedback (such as zoning violation or exceeding limits) helped participants in the sense-making and learning process. At last, this research suggested that TUIs such as CS are superior to traditional public participation for urban planning in terms of rapid prototyping and feedback, collaboration, and decision-making process [11] [12].…”

This paper describes the conception, development and deployment of a novel HCI system for public participation and decisionmaking. This system was applied for the process of allocating refugee accommodation in the City of Hamburg within the FindingPlaces project (FP) in 2016. The CityScope (CS) -a rapid prototyping platform for urban planning and decision-making -offered a technical solution which was complemented by a workshop process to facilitate effective interaction of multiple participants and stakeholder groups. This paper presents the origins of CS and the evolution of the tangible user interface approach to urban planning and public participation. It further outlines technical features of the system, including custom hardware and software in use, utilization in real-time as well as technical constraints and limitations. Special focus is on the adaptation of the CS technology to the specific demands of Hamburg´s FP project, whose procedures, processes, and results are reflected. The final section analyzes success factors as well as shortcomings of the approach, and indicates further R&D as well as application scenarios for the CS.

“…Para projetar um sistema de interface tangível, que apoia a colaboração e facilita a tomada de decisões entre as partes interessadas de diferentes origens, é essencial testar a usabilidade de tal sistema (ALRASHED;. Sendo assim, pode-se desenvolver um sistema habilitado com uma interface sofisticada, mas não se pode garantir sua usabilidade sem assimilar percepções e experiências dos usuários em seu design.…”

As pesquisas relacionadas à adoção de tecnologias da informação são importantes, pois podem verificar o impacto do uso e da satisfação da tecnologia adotada em uma organização, como o modelo de aceitação de tecnologia UTAUT (Teoria Unificada de Aceitação e Uso da Tecnologia). Desta forma, este estudo tem como objetivo analisar a relação entre a usabilidade do sistema e a cultura organizacional na satisfação de uso do sistema pelos usuários de uma empresa do setor metalomecânico de Caxias do Sul-RS. Para tal, foi realizada uma pesquisa do tipo survey, com 100 funcionários de uma empresa do setor referido. Os resultados mostraram que 58,2% da satisfação de uso do sistema pelos usuários é explicada pela usabilidade do sistema e a cultura organizacional. Portanto, as empresas deverão investir em sistemas adaptativos para que eles possam se moldarem às características dos usuários, satisfazendo-os. De forma complementar, a cultura organizacional deve estar voltada às adoções de novas tecnologias para que haja maior adesão por parte dos usuários.

“…The neighborhood and street scales were represented with CityScope, a platform that utilizes physical models (built from LEGO bricks) and projections of static and dynamic information. CityScope has been shown to encourage collaboration and communication among stakeholders ( 23 ). CityScope’s BRT workshop versions allowed users to examine how different corridor types might perform in a neighborhood, or how different street elements (such as bus stop types or bike lanes in lieu of parking) might affect the streetscape and corridor performance.…”

Open governance and open data have given rise to new collaborative tools for public involvement in transit planning. The research presented in this paper extends such tools, adding tangible and interactive features in an attempt to foster interaction, dialog, and social learning. Three tools, representing the impacts of bus rapid transit (BRT) projects at the street, neighborhood, and regional scales, were deployed at a series of public workshops in Boston. A pre-/post-survey design reveals substantive learning about BRT, supported by participants' general agreement with statements about social learning. The quality of dialog in the workshops may point to the potential for more in-depth, double-loop learning. Of the tools used in the workshop, participants judged the one representing the street scale to be the easiest to use, whereas they judged the touchscreen regional map to be the most relevant and credible. Further research could test such tools with more representative participants and in other settings.
