Context
  • Municipalities have the responsibility to assure
    the correct management of their territory.
  • Exists a set of regulation instruments that give
    support to the Territorial Management
  • Municipal Plans (ex Municipal Master Plan,
    Detail Plans)
  • The revision or creation process goes through a
    sequence of several steps.
  • One of these steps is known as Public Discussion.

4
Goal and Motivation
  • The Public Discussion period is of great
    democratic importance.
  • Local authorities have the legal duty to ponder
    all public made proposals, as well as answer
    information request during the Public Discussion
    period.
  • The main problem
  • Spatial and temporal constrains are increasingly
    placing citizens apart of the participation in
    such acts.
  • The goal
  • With the intention of reversing such tendency, an
    effort was made to develop a new electronic
    service.

5
The Concept
  • Web Map technology
  • Allows interactive map navigation.
  • Constraint lack of support for discussion.
  • Discussion Forum technology
  • Allows users to discuss a matter on an
    asynchronous mode.
  • Constraint lack of spatial reference.
  • The Goal
  • Merge this two technologies into one, creating an
    integrated bidirectional system that allows
    better interaction
  • Report the problem and provide an answer over a
    more collaborative environment.
