“…In order to help specify and plan the LCN+ it would seem desirable to involve end-users in order to ensure that the routes and treatments meet the everyday needs of cyclists (see for example Crewe, 2001;Creighton, 2005;Fiskaa, 2005). However, despite directives to bring publics into the orbit of decision-making, for a number of reasons which have been well documented this rarely seems to happen (Brody et al, 2003;Abram and Cowell, 2004;Innes et al, 2007).…”

“…For example, Wilson (1996) investigated the architectural preferences of architecture students and found that their preferences generally reflected those of the school of architecture that they attended. This has long been a matter of concern since the 1960s (e.g., Gans 1969) to the present day (e.g., Crewe 2001) and points to a clear need for practitioners to find out about their users' needs and preferences. 1 The apparent appreciation gap between planners and the public that they serve has been related to the planners' failure to reflect the plurality of interests in society.…”

P lanning and acting on questions of physical space have increasingly become socially embedded practices, shifting from serving an abstract "public interest" to actively engaging the public. Central to this approach is a greater emphasis on the exchange of knowledge and the development of ideas through communication with users, residents, and community groups. With the communicative planning approach gaining ground, the role of nonprofessional forms of knowledge and understanding also becomes an important issue. Contemporary practices tend to be more open to a wider variety of inputs than more traditional forms of professional expertise. Great attention is currently given to means of organization such as platforms and rules of discussion that help participants to express themselves. At the same time, however, the question of substance-that is, the knowledge, arguments, and ideas used to justify decisions and actions on the ground-is often overlooked. As a result, in many cases the public's potential for challenging established views and reformulating problems in ways that allow creative ideas and solutions remains largely underused.The emphasis on organization over substance can be related to uncertainties about the role of nonexpert knowledge and how to reconcile this with expert forms of knowledge in constructive ways. Difficulties about these questions often begin with the fact that process facilitators encounter fundamental differences between planning officials and the public in the way they understand and value local environments. These differences, if insufficiently understood, may result in constraints on fruitful dialogue and constructive problem solving, as has been shown in many examples of planning practice throughout Europe (e.g., Greenhalgh and Worpole 1995;Malbert 1998;Enserink and Monnikhof 2000;Van Herzele, Collins, and Tyrväinen 2004). From cases observed in California, Campbell and Marshall (2000b) described how predicating decision making based on nontechnical knowledge remains a difficult issue. Among other things, they noticed a lack of "interpretative frameworks" available to planners to help them to better understand the different forms of nonexpert knowledge and views.This article aims to contribute to the planning practice that actually makes sense of local knowledge when working out what action to take in a particular situation. It first builds on theoretical insights into the structuring or "framing" of a situation as a AbstractThis article examines the value of local knowledge in the creative phase of planning practice. It uses the case study of an urban renewal project in Antwerp to explore the ways that workshop participants made sense of the planning situation. Analysis of the "talks" identified shared interpretive "frames" employed by the lay participants. The article goes on to discuss how distinctive these were from the professionals' perspectives and what the consequences were for the material outcomes of the planning process. It was concluded that the public input was used to ...

“…This can, for example, lead to a stronger feeling of ownership and higher acceptance of a product by its prospective users. The PD approaches developed and applied are as varied as the things that can be designed, ranging from cities [4] to digital family calendars [21]. Even when restricting products to digital artefacts, the number of PD approaches that can be used is still high (e.g., [25]).…”

In the current Participatory Design (PD) practice, paper-based approaches are commonly applied. However, the use of software tools can potentially enhance the PD process and outcome, given their flexibility for prototype presentation, data storage, retrieval and analysis. Driven by this assumption, we developed the specific-purpose PD online tool PDotCapturer. To evaluate the effectiveness of PDotCapturer, as compared with a paper-based approach, we conducted a within-subjects study where 33 participants were asked to provide feedback on e-learning prototypes, using either paper or PDotCapturer in one session and vice-versa in another session. The evaluation criteria were quantity and quality of the participants' comments. For qualitative data analysis, we applied the refined coding scheme CAt+. Results show that using PDotCapturer partly led to feedback of higher quality, but the number of comments was higher for the paper-based approach. Our work contributes to the HCI community by augmenting the repertoire of the PD toolbox.
