Since 2002 the authors have successively developed “Children’s Maps in GIS”, a method for children’s participation in spatial planning. Their studies show that 10-15 year-olds are capable of reading maps and using a GIS-application for communicating their interests in a stable and useful manner. The purpose of this article is to discuss the first stages of implementation in a real world project, in relation to ICT. The authors report experiences from a Swedish municipality using Children’s Maps in GIS in a survey with over 600 children as part of a comprehensive planning process and give examples of how data can be visualized. A significant digital divide between different parts of the administration is noted. In the ongoing development into an Internet version of the method the authors aim to increase the access to the GIS-application and develop standard procedures for categorizing and analyzing data.

The study aims to identify the pattern of geomorphologic tourism in the valleys of the eastern coast of the Dead Sea and the mechanisms for developing this type of tourism. An analysis of space visuals data and topographic maps were utilized to provide a holistic picture of the geomorphologic reality and the spatial relationships between tourism uses and the nature of this area. Relying on geographic information systems and remote sensing software, the study provides a holistic picture that contributes to the identification of the geomorphologic tourism pattern, and the future forecast in the form of spatial space within a holistic integrated approach based on scientific foundations. The study revealed the importance of the area with its great potentials represented in geomorphologic and biological diversity. It contributed to providing a comprehensive spatial database beneficial for decision-makers in adopting a comprehensive planning process for the study area.

This qualitative evaluation examines critical steps the Moose Jaw-Thunder Creek District Health Board initiated to address health reform; in particular, the adoption of a governance philosophy, restructuring of services, development of a comprehensive planning process, and implementation of a communication strategy. The outcome has been a yearly health plan that maintains quality health services; provides opportunities for service growth, client-centred health delivery and increased accountability through defined outcomes; and ensures that the Board ends the year with a balanced budget.

The City

An effective information management is one of the most valuable assets of any organization, including public administration. Database integration from various municipal Information Systems is an essential tool for urban and strategic planning. The city of Curitiba, Brazil, has implemented several Information Systems to enhance its public services, from education to health care—most of these systems use several non-integrated personal smart cards to provide access to services. In this chapter we analyze some public Information Systems in use in Curitiba, and their inputs and outputs. We also advocate that the personal smart card already used in the metropolitan transportation system only as a fare collection card, is, among all others, the best option, from a technological and administrative standpoint, to integrate all municipal Information Systems, improving the effectiveness of public services and assisting for a comprehensive planning process.

Basic Level

Most planning students now bring few, if any, graphic or design skills to graduate school. To maximize educational value from the experiential studio experience, students first need to develop a basic level of competence in physical planning. This is also essential preparation for coordinating the efforts of other design professionals and managing the comprehensive planning process. This paper suggests objectives and requirements for an initial studio course to help meet these needs for both full-time and part-time students.

The aim of this article was to discuss community participations in comprehensive planning of Amphawa District, Thailand, which targeted for the year 2030. There were two objectives of the study: to discuss the effectiveness of community participations and to discuss the future land use plan. The planning methodology integrated several community participation activities into the traditional comprehensive planning process. The result of the study revealed that community participations helped reduce difficulties and save time. In terms of future land uses, several conservation related zones were designated to conserve local natural and cultural heritages and agricultural areas.Keywords: Community participations; Comprehensive planning; Amphawa DistricteISSN 2398-4279 © 2018.
