Digital tools can improve brownfield redevelopment by addressing stakeholder needs and challenges. Seven core principles guide the design of these essential digital systems for better decision-making.
Area of Science:
- Environmental Science
- Urban Planning
- Geoinformatics
Background:
- Brownfield redevelopment is complex, involving diverse stakeholders with conflicting priorities.
- Digital systems are increasingly used for decision-making, modeling, and discussion in this sector.
- Integrating stakeholder preferences is crucial for effective digital tool development.
Purpose of the Study:
- To inform the design of future digital tools for the UK brownfield sector.
- To investigate digitalization trends and digital tool adoption.
- To understand perceptions of brownfield challenges where digital tools can assist decision-makers.
Main Methods:
- Stakeholder consultation with UK brownfield professionals.
- Data collection via interviews and an online questionnaire.
- Qualitative and quantitative evaluation of collected data.
Main Results:
- A disparity in digital capabilities exists among stakeholder groups.
- Digital tools can potentially enhance cross-discipline communication on key issues.
- Identified key areas where digital tools can improve decision-making.
Conclusions:
- Future digital tools for brownfield redevelopment must be stakeholder-driven and problem-centered.
- Principles for effective digital tool design include being visual, intuitive, interactive, interoperable, and geospatial data-driven.
- Carefully designed digital tools can significantly aid complex brownfield redevelopment processes.
