Manipulation and Analysis

160
GIS manipulation and analysis functions are vital for decision-making and planning. These activities range from data retrieval tasks, such as selecting information based on specific criteria, to advanced analytical techniques that address complex spatial problems.One critical GIS analysis method is overlaying, which combines multiple data layers to examine impacts. For example, overlaying a river-dammed lake boundary with road networks can identify affected infrastructure. Another common...

Thematic Layering in GIS

166
In the past, planning projects such as schools or public facilities required extensive manual effort to gather and compile data. Information such as property boundaries, soil characteristics, road networks, zoning regulations, and flood zones had to be sourced individually from courthouses, utility providers, and registry offices. Assembling these datasets into a coherent format often took several months, delaying project timelines.The introduction of Geographic Information Systems (GIS)...

Design Example: Analyzing Capacity Contours for Flood Risk Assessment

179
Flood risk assessment involves careful planning and analysis to ensure the safety of communities near water retention structures. Capacity contours are a vital tool in this process, as they illustrate the potential spread of water at specific levels in a given area. In the context of building a bund across a small valley, these contours play a critical role in evaluating the safety of nearby residential areas.In this example, the bund is intended to store stormwater in the valley. The engineers...

Design Example: Sustainability in Concrete Building

287
As the construction industry moves towards more eco-friendly practices, concrete's adaptability and its ability to incorporate sustainable features make it a key material in the drive towards greener building solutions.
There are multiple approaches to achieve sustainability in a commercial concrete building. For instance, construct a concrete parking area under the building, utilizing pervious concrete paver blocks in open areas to facilitate rainwater collection through an underground...

Area of Science:

  • Urban Planning and Development
  • Public Policy and Governance
  • Social Inclusion Studies

Background:

  • Achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) inclusively in urban areas presents significant challenges.
  • Current approaches often lack sufficient community engagement, hindering equitable outcomes in development.
  • New methodologies are needed to bridge the gap between planning and inclusive, transformative results.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the effectiveness of creative methods in fostering co-designed solutions for urban mobility and road safety.
  • To assess the impact of enhanced inclusion on citizen-decision maker interactions and planning outcomes in East African cities.
  • To examine the potential of creative methods to localize SDG delivery and ensure equitable infrastructure investments.

Main Methods:

  • A mixed-methods approach combining digital and physical creative techniques was employed.
  • Evaluation was conducted against established theories of governance and social inclusion.
  • The study focused on co-designing solutions influencing mobility and road safety planning in East African urban contexts.

Main Results:

  • Increased citizen inclusion led to improved dialogue between communities and decision-makers.
  • Novel and practical solutions for urban planning challenges were identified through co-design.
  • Creative methods demonstrated potential for transformative outcomes in SDG delivery, albeit with risks.

Conclusions:

  • Creative methods can localize the delivery of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in urban settings.
  • Mitigating risks of co-option and adapting institutional norms is crucial for success.
  • This approach offers a pathway to more equitable and effective infrastructure development investments.
