Abstract
The paper study the ICT available to evaluate participation in urban planning, starting from a relevant experience made in Italy inside a funding programme of the Italian Ministry for Innovation and Technology. It starts describing the state of the art of methods and techniques to evaluate participation in urban planning and the informatics tools available to support these participation processes, before the arrival on the scene of the social networks such as Facebook or Twitter. In the following paragraph the paper describes the case study: a participation process in the South of Italy, made to design the master plan of a medium sized city. In the following paragraph ICT used in the case of study are discussed and revised. In the last paragraph conclusions are made on this relevant subject for urban planning and design offering some general reflections.
The paper is the result of a joint work of the authors. Nonetheless, section 1 has been written by Selicato F. and section 2, 3, 4 by Rotondo F.
