Abstract

The paper presents the main motivations for the development of a Brazilian platform for Geodesign, based on adaptations of observed needs, review of processes and facilities to face the challenges of spatial inequalities and complexity. The study is motivated by the analysis of difficulties and criticisms on the applied framework tested in robust number of workshops developed. It starts by the literature review in order to understand the main values and keywords that were constructed along time in the use of technologies of geospatial information in planning and, as a result, defines the main resources and facilities that should be considered to a new format of Geodesign. The new platform itself is presented, and the paper illustrates and discusses the proposed framework according to four steps: Reading Enrichment, Dialogues as Creation of Ideas, Voting as Selection of Ideas, and Statistics as Final Decision. It compares and justifies a new framework in Geodesign in face to main models generally used and discusses possible development to a close future.
