“…This stresses the importance of tailoring methods to tasks. Further research is needed to experiment with the tools in a workshop setting (Eikelboom and Janssen 2015), to test the tools in practice (see for example Janssen et al 2014) and to test the tools in different contexts (see for example Alexander et al 2012). But maybe the most important characteristic of the tools is that they allow for trial and error.…”

Geodesign tools are increasingly used in collaborative planning. An important element in these tools is the communication of stakeholder values. As there are many ways to present these values it is important to know how these tools should be designed to communicate these values effectively. The objective of this study is to analyse how the design of the tool influences its effectiveness. To do this stakeholder values were included in four different geodesign tools, using different ways of ranking and aggregation. The communication performances of these tools were evaluated in an online survey to assess their ability to communicate information effectively. The survey assessed how complexity influence user performance. Performance was considered high if a user is able to complete an assignment correctly using the information presented. Knowledge on tool performance is important for selecting the right tool use and for tool design. The survey showed that tools should be as simple as possible. Adding ranking and aggregation steps makes the tools more difficult to understand and reduces performance. However, an increase in the amount of information to be processed by the user also has a negative effect on performance. Ranking and aggregation steps may be needed to limit this amount. This calls for careful tailoring of the tool to the task to be performed. For all tools it was found maybe the most important characteristic of the tools is that they allow for trial and error as this increases the opportunity for experimentation and learning by doing.

“…The size of the area is about 50 km 2 and is mainly used for commercial dairy farming, but is also important for its high natural, cultural and historical values. Important problems in the region are soil subsidence causing damage to buildings and infrastructure, deterioration of landscape values, and inefficient water management (Brouns et al, 2014). Options to change the area are land use changes, introduction of new crops and changes in water management.…”

“…To test its usefulness it was integrated in a geodesign tool and applied to a planning process in a peat meadow area in the Netherlands (see also Janssen et al, 2014). The objective of this study is to demonstrate the potential and limitations of a genetic optimization algorithm to support collaborative land use planning workshops.…”

“…A current planning process to develop a long-term adaptation strategy for the peat meadow area of the province of Friesland is used as an illustration of the potential use of the algorithm. Results of the optimization are compared with the results achieved by stakeholders in collaborative workshops (see also Janssen, Eikelboom, Brouns, & Verhoeven, 2014).…”

“…Many geodesign initiatives are limited in that they cannot be scaled because they are built for a unique planning situation using location-specific data to answer a location-specific question. These include a specific site like the Sabah Al-Salem Kuwait University City in Kuwait (Janssen et al, 2014), a region like the Fiesland in the Netherlands (Janssen et al, 2014), an urban area like the community gardens on brownfield sites in Los Angeles (McElvaney, 2012), or a specific dataset like those produced by the U.S. Census (Nedović-Budić, Kan, Johnston, Sparks, & White, 2006). Because these solutions are uniquely built, transporting the product to other locations and situations is difficult.…”

Geodesign is an urban planning framework which combines the traditionally separated tasks of landscape planning, site planning, and geographic analysis through automated software flows. Through the amalgamation of these elements, a user gains a fuller picture of the environment they are planning for and becomes better equipped to explain planning decisions. As planning processes become increasingly complex, geodesign software becomes necessary to successfully facilitate planning. Using the software product Engineer Site Identification for the Technical Environment (ENSITE) as an example, this article provides a framework for successful geodesign products made up of four aspects: rapid development; flexible software architecture; global data; team of subject matter experts.
