A Quantitative Approach to Geodesign Process Analysis

The paper proposes a new approach to Geodesign Process Analytics (GDPA) based on the use of geodesign workshop log-data gathered by web-based collaborative the Planning Support System Geodesignhub. As argued in the paper, the analysis and mining of PSS log-data enable the coordinator of a geodesign study to gain better insights into the evolution of design during the process as well as about the process dynamics. While the research is still in its early stage, first results show a huge potential for the practical application of GDPA in workshop coordination support, in gaining insights about past geodesign processes, and in understanding social behaviour in the design process dynamics.
