海角社区

Recorded on 6 December 2023.

Prioritising our communities is essential in digital planning. Participatory online mapping (also known as public participation GIS or PPGIS) is an increasingly popular method to ensure community voices are heard in planning processes, but one that is still new to many planners in Australia.

Professor Marketta Kyttä from Aalto University in Finland is one of the world’s leading experts on public participation GIS. Her research work spans hundreds of real-world case studies and she has made significant contributions to PPGIS methodologies used worldwide. We are therefore delighted that she has accepted our invitation to deliver our final PlanTech briefing for 2023 to tell us about the best ways to use PPGIS to improve participation and planning outcomes.

This will be a Wednesday late afternoon briefing to accommodate time differences between Finland and Australia.
