“…Landscape assessment aims to determine human response to a “real” environment (Daniel and Meitner, 2001). With such an aim, scholars have demonstrated the representational validity of photographs and reported a high degree of consistency between perceptual judgements based on photographs and direct experience of the landscapes (Gao et al, 2019; Dupont et al, 2014; Sevenant and Antrop, 2011; Warren-Kretzschmar and Tiedtke, 2005). Photography (as well as its ramifications like photomontage), as a traditional visual impact assessment method, has an obvious and significant advantage compared with GIS-aided visibility analysis: its high degree of realism (Rød and Van der Meer, 2009).…”

The global neoliberal cityscape is one of the most iconic products of contemporary urbanization. Inborn to international financial hubs such as New York, London, and Hong Kong, the dense concentration of high-rise bank headquarters became a powerful branding tool in the growing competition to attract foreign investment. Despite the extraordinary international attention this cityscape has attracted, there is a paucity of scientific research on its morphological principles and the gap between its visibility and perception. With a focus on Hong Kong, this study develops an innovative multi-method research design, combining historical investigation, a newly advanced visual impact assessment method, and a survey of a random probability population sample. The historical investigation reveals a volitional attempt to preserve visibility from key vantage points. The comparative assessment of bank headquarters and other corporate buildings, regarding both their visibility and perceived impact on the city’s image, demonstrates a gap between visibility and buildings’ perceived importance. The results illustrate the effective semiotic use of architecture, shedding light on how the symbolism of architectural form can consolidate neoliberal hegemony on the basis of shared perception. This study’s novelty lies in its multi-method approach and methodological advancement in terms of visibility analysis, while its significance is its potential application across a vast geographic area by scholars, designers, planners, and policymakers.

“…The use of scientific knowledge in support of evidence-based decisions requires adequate techniques to bring together the stakeholder-science-policy interface, for which a clear understanding of stakeholder perceptions and the actionable communication of key findings using, for example, visualization techniques, is advantageous (see Boll et al 2014, Warren-Kretzschmar & von Haaren 2014. We conclude that effective land-use planning should consider participatory and stakeholder based methods that capture local perceptions and should make use of analytical methods and visualization techniques for communicating key findings along the stakeholder-science-policy interface.…”

“…The primary characteristic of a maptable is the utilization of a large horizontal touch table that allows interacting with geospatial content. A maptable facilitates the communication process by providing a GI-based visual platform easy to understand by the majority of users regardless of their IT literacy or knowledge background [13]. Besides, the physical characteristics of the platform, its size, and horizontal orientation enable more equitable participation as all members are located around the content being able to contribute to the discussion [14].…”

Geographic information-based planning support tools implemented in a maptable have the potential to mediate collaborative spatial planning processes. However, available tools for a maptable either lack advanced analytical functions or have usability shortcomings. Given these limitations, this research aims to conceptualize an interactive planning support tool intended to fully exploit maptable capabilities while providing spatial analytical functions to better support planning and decision-making processes with a larger group of participants. To do so, we conducted a literature review of reported maptable-based applications and semi-structured interviews with identified intended user groups of such applications, and derived Agile user stories. We identified a) principal spatial analyses, b) must-have functionalities, c) required support for individual contributions, and d) preferred space-time settings for group work collaboration, and based on that conceptualized an interactive tool for a maptable. By involving the intended users in the conception of the tool we revealed a discrepancy between the understanding of scholars and developers with respect to what users need and what they do. Intended user groups require tailored but straightforward instruments, rather than complicated or time-consuming models. Our research has laid down the foundation for future maptable tool development to support collaborative planning processes.
