Abstract

The experience is part of a broader one, Geodesign Brazil: Trees for metropolitan regions, composed of a set of workshops that were held in twelve Brazilian metropolitan areas, that in Amapa was conducted by technicians of two planning state departments. The workshop aimed to develop dialogs and proposals for alternative futures to the metropolitan region, targeting the years of 2035 and 2050. The goal was to discuss ten main topics: vegetation, hydrography, housing, transportation, institutions, trade and industry, agriculture, energy, tourism and culture, and carbon credit. The GISColab platform was used as a tool for registering opinions, alerts, ideas and voting of designs for each scenario. The workshop was developed over four stages: reading enrichment and note creation; creation of proposals with that continued the existing planning; creation of proposals with some innovations; creation of proposals with many innovations and a final voting. The experience pointed to an active participation of the actors in the discussion process, but a limitation in changing from analysis to proposals, mainly accepting innovative ideas, a fact possibly related to the wide technical experience of the participants in public agencies, who acted during the meetings in the same way that they do in their professional practices: discussing the difficulties and consequences of implementing innovations. However, as a result, when comparing the first designs to the last ones, it was possible to observe improvements in performance and an adherence to a new way of planning.

    The experiment was a joint effort by twelve Brazilian metropolitan areas, through ten federal universities (UFMG, UFRRJ, UFJF, USP, UFCF, UFPE, UFG, UFPA, UFT, UNIFAP), two state universities (UDESC and UNESP at Rio Claro) and two offices related to the secretary of planning (SEMA and STRAP). The common goal was to discuss proposals for different scenarios, in the years of 2035 and 2050. The goal was to be part of the IGC’s global project.
