“…Consequently, this "umbrella" can contain all simulation models and tools. Due to data availability, all models based on Cellular automata or Multiagent Systems, Space Syntax, Geodesign [154][155][156], etc. can take into account a lot of components in detailed simulations.…”

Why Italy First? Health, Geographical and Planning Aspects of the COVID-19 Outbreak

et al. 2020

COVID-19 hit Italy in February 2020 after its outbreak in China at the beginning of January. Why was Italy first among the Western countries? What are the conditions that made Italy more vulnerable and the first target of this disease? What characteristics and diffusion patterns could be highlighted and hypothesized from its outbreak to the end of March 2020, after containment measures, including a national lockdown, were introduced? In this paper, we try to provide some answers to these questions, analyzing the issue from medical, geographical and planning points of view. With reference to the Italian case, we observed the phenomenon in terms of the spatial diffusion process and by observing the relation between the epidemic and various environmental elements. In particular, we started from a hypothesis of the comparable economic, geographical, climatic and environmental conditions of the areas of Wuhan (in the Hubei Province in China, where the epidemic broke out) and the Po Valley area (in Italy) where most cases and deaths were registered. Via an ecological approach, we compared the spatial distribution and pattern of COVID-19-related mortality in Italy with several geographical, environmental and socio-economic variables at a Provincial level, analyzing them by means of spatial analytical techniques such as LISA (Local Indicators of Spatial Association). Possible evidence arose relating to COVID-19 cases and Nitrogen-related pollutants and land take, particularly in the Po Valley area.

“…The latter makes the relations between process and product explicit, offering further ground for analysis. In an earlier study, Cocco and Campgna [41] started developing geodesign process analytics (GDPA), a framework for monitoring and analyzing geodesign processes, and used descriptive statistics to analyze the productivity of the workshop participants and the evolution of team syntheses along the geodesign workshop iterations, supplying real-time evidence of the workshop process dynamics. Nevertheless, a question of whether it is possible to elicit from geodesign workflow data more general and complete design rules is still an open issue.…”

Recent advances in planning support technologies has enabled interactive collaboration in design processes by multiple stakeholder groups. The available technologies collect and store information on both the evolution of design alternatives and the interactions of participants involved in the design process. However, making sense of available process log-data is still a challenge. This study focuses on process analytics in geodesign studies, where iterative collaboration between stakeholders generates design alternatives and consensus by negotiation. Early findings demonstrate how geodesign process analytics makes it possible to gain insights both in recurrent patterns in participant behavior and in the evolution of the design. The approach, based on the enhanced adaptive structuration theory framework, has been tested using data collected by the Geodesignhub web-based collaborative planning support systems in the Cagliari (Italy) geodesign study.

“…Steinitz at Harvard University developed and applied concepts about specific shifts in macro-scale design workflows for landscape architects, i.e., six steps of geodesign with corresponding dynamic, conceptual hydrologic modelling. A six-steps-based decision workflow called the Steinitz Geodesign Framework was scoped, designed, and implemented for the planning of rivers [6]. Geodesign methodology is often of help to identify conflicts and verify the suitability of landscape and urban design by geostatistical calculation, e.g., scenario-based flood risk assessment [7].…”

Although geodesign techniques have been studied and developed worldwide, there is still a lack of in-depth application of geodesign workflows for redesigning urban river wetlands with characteristics of ecologically engineered landscaping (EEL). The study mainly aims at putting forward a proper approach in the methodological foundation for EEL practices in river wetlands. A typical EEL-oriented project of river restoration in Hangzhou, China, was conducted in this study. Based on in-situ geodata and tools within QGIS, individual geological factors analysis, with the hierarchical analysis method (AHP) and ecological vulnerability evaluation (EVE), was conducted by experts’ voting and the weighted linear combination (WLC) method. Analysis of hydrological-related factors proceeded. This GIS-based analysis with expert knowledge provided comprehensive redesign solutions for the redesign project, i.e., restoration of the riverbed, spatial restoration in the horizontal and vertical dimensions, and integration with the multifunctional design. Detailed three-dimensional models for design practices were developed to present redesigned topology and space accordingly. Terrain, inundation, and visibility analysis proceeded with parametric mapping programs within Grasshopper to check the feasibility. The adapted geodesign-based workflow in the study also applies to the site analysis, sustainable assessment and landscape planning for urban wetlands EEL projects.
