Approaches to integrating indicators into 3D landscape visualisations and their benefits for participative planning situations

Measuring and Assessing Urban Sprawl: What are the Remaining Options for Future Settlement Development in Switzerland for 2030?

“…By integrating visual and non-visual landscape information, these instruments show high potential for assisting in the analysis of landscape change and evaluating the character of possible future landscapes (Higgs et al 2008;Wissen et al 2008).…”

Enhanced 3D visualization techniques in support of indoor location planning

“…When the problem domain is situated in a three-dimensional micro-scale environment characterized by space-time dynamics of demand and network impedances at a fine resolution, current visualization techniques appear to fall short in communicating solution results effectively and fail to exploit the potential of 3D visualization (Hanzl, 2007;Wissen, Schroth, Lange, & Schmid, 2008). Therefore, our research is aimed at addressing a number of questions regarding visualization support in indoor location planning.…”

Integrating an urban green space typology into procedural 3D visualization for collaborative planning

“…Recently, integrated concepts and methods, which are evolving under the umbrella term ''geodesign'', seek to facilitate transdisciplinary spatial design processes by informing the creation of design proposals with GIS-based scientific knowledge to guide user-driven interventions (Goodchild, 2010;Steinitz, 2012;Batty, 2013). In particular, spatially explicit visualizations are known to facilitate such collaboration processes (Wissen, Schroth, Lange, & Schmid, 2008;Sheppard & Salter, 2004;Schroth, Wissen Hayek, Lange, Sheppard, & Schmid, 2011). Decision making regarding urban development options further requires an understanding of the interactions of different environmental factors and of how they affect the quality of the urban patterns (Niemelä, 2011).…”
