Yannis: /* Collaborative SWOT analysis */

== Aspiration mapping, brainstorming & Co-design of field trips and excursions ==

Brainstorming, ideas co-reflection, and collaborative goal and concept formation occur during the co-design of a field trip. The participants need a place and different methods to inspire them to discuss, think, and share ideas. Here, you have some tools and proposed techniques for brainstorming and collaborative design.

== Sensory mapping (sensations, perspective, sentiments) ==
Sensory studies are important to develop an understanding of the relationship between people and the built environment.
Senses have a crucial role in the definition of space and place. The identity of a space is not a static structure, and can vary from one social context to another [https://bac-lac.on.worldcat.org/oclc/300946176 (Relph, 1976)].
Maps have been considered as means of graphic communication using abstraction, representation and design to convey a message to a community of users [https://www.guilford.com/books/How-Maps-Work/Alan-MacEachren/9781572300408 (MacEachren, 2004)]. From this perspective, the role of representation in mapping is as a means for communicating spatial data in an effective way.
Most of the technics used in contemporary scientific visualization have relied on mapping methods to provide their initial model. Beyond its role as a tool for representation, the map is referred to as a metaphor for the presentation and representation of spatial and non-spatial data. It advocates the representation and examination of complex information that can be mapped to display different aspects of spatial environments [https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1559/152304001782174005 (Fairbairn, et al., 2001)]. Τhe mapping of sentiments and senses can be a useful tool that reflects the image of the city and the way that users perceive public space.
The identity of a city is not only defined by its visual, physical features and its appearance but also by its other sensory elements. Sensory mapping is a creative way for participants to co-create a collective mosaic of their public space conception.

== Collaborative SWOT analysis ==
'''SWOT analysis''' is a tool that can be used in public space recognition and during the recording of issues related to developing a strategy. It is widely used in different professional and scientific sectors as this method maps an issue/problem easily, in-depth, and mainly with broad participation.

* The acronym SWOT comes from the English: Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats

== Data collection and Mobile data collection tools ==
The data collection is a crucial step of a participatory project. During this process, the participants and the facilitators collect all the qualitative and quantitative information that will define the results of the whole project. Some common data collection methods include surveys, interviews, observations, experiments, focus groups, questionnaires, and secondary data analysis.

Mobile Data Collection (MDC) uses mobile phones, tablets, or personal digital assistants for data collection. MDC can benefit the evaluator by collecting quantitative data for their evaluation or abstracting data for an assessment.

There are many mobile phone applications (referred to as platforms) that will allow you to build a mobile data collection survey. These platforms will allow you to customize the survey to collect specific data as required, such as photographs, information from a list selection, voice recordings, GPS coordinates, etc. Platforms vary in ease of use, cost, and features [https://www.betterevaluation.org/methods-approaches/methods/mobile-data-collection].

== Aspiration mapping, brainstorming & Co-design of field trips and excursions ==

Brainstorming, ideas co-reflection, and collaborative goal and concept formation occur during the co-design of a field trip. The participants need a place and different methods to inspire them to discuss, think, and share ideas. Here, you have some tools and proposed techniques for brainstorming and collaborative design.

== Sensory mapping (sensations, perspective, sentiments) ==
Sensory studies are important to develop an understanding of the relationship between people and the built environment.
Senses have a crucial role in the definition of space and place. The identity of a space is not a static structure, and can vary from one social context to another [https://bac-lac.on.worldcat.org/oclc/300946176 (Relph, 1976)].
Maps have been considered as means of graphic communication using abstraction, representation and design to convey a message to a community of users [https://www.guilford.com/books/How-Maps-Work/Alan-MacEachren/9781572300408 (MacEachren, 2004)]. From this perspective, the role of representation in mapping is as a means for communicating spatial data in an effective way.
Most of the technics used in contemporary scientific visualization have relied on mapping methods to provide their initial model. Beyond its role as a tool for representation, the map is referred to as a metaphor for the presentation and representation of spatial and non-spatial data. It advocates the representation and examination of complex information that can be mapped to display different aspects of spatial environments [https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1559/152304001782174005 (Fairbairn, et al., 2001)]. Τhe mapping of sentiments and senses can be a useful tool that reflects the image of the city and the way that users perceive public space.
The identity of a city is not only defined by its visual, physical features and its appearance but also by its other sensory elements. Sensory mapping is a creative way for participants to co-create a collective mosaic of their public space conception.

* '''Mind maps/mental maps''': Mind mapping is a visual method to represent information and can be used to effectively brainstorm and structure ideas. In its purest form, mind maps are a means to get information in your brain out in front of you [https://talentnook.com/blog/mind-mapping-using-mind-maps-to-enhance-student-learning].

== Collaborative SWOT analysis ==
'''SWOT analysis''' is a tool that can be used in public space recognition and during the recording of issues related to developing a strategy. It is widely used in different professional and scientific sectors as this method maps an issue/problem easily, in-depth, and mainly with broad participation.

* The acronym SWOT comes from the English: Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats (respectively in Greek: strengths, weaknesses, other words, threats)
* '''Examples and instructions''': https://repository.participatorylab.org/dataset/swot
* '''“How to perform a SWOT analysis”''' video with simple steps: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I_6AVRGLXGA
[[File:Image13.jpg | thumb | right | A SWOT template, source: https://www.stakeholdermap.com/business-templates/excel-swot-analysis-template.html]]

== Data collection and Mobile data collection tools ==
The data collection is a crucial step of a participatory project. During this process, the participants and the facilitators collect all the qualitative and quantitative information that will define the results of the whole project. Some common data collection methods include surveys, interviews, observations, experiments, focus groups, questionnaires, and secondary data analysis.

Mobile Data Collection (MDC) uses mobile phones, tablets, or personal digital assistants for data collection. MDC can benefit the evaluator by collecting quantitative data for their evaluation or abstracting data for an assessment.

There are many mobile phone applications (referred to as platforms) that will allow you to build a mobile data collection survey. These platforms will allow you to customize the survey to collect specific data as required, such as photographs, information from a list selection, voice recordings, GPS coordinates, etc. Platforms vary in ease of use, cost, and features [https://www.betterevaluation.org/methods-approaches/methods/mobile-data-collection].

== Data collection and Mobile data collection tools ==
The data collection is a crucial step of a participatory project. During this process, the participants and the facilitators collect all the qualitative and quantitative information that will define the results of the whole project. Some common data collection methods include surveys, interviews, observations, experiments, focus groups, questionnaires, and secondary data analysis.

Mobile Data Collection (MDC) uses mobile phones, tablets, or personal digital assistants for data collection. MDC can benefit the evaluator by collecting quantitative data for their evaluation or abstracting data for an assessment.

There are many mobile phone applications (referred to as platforms) that will allow you to build a mobile data collection survey. These platforms will allow you to customize the survey to collect specific data as required, such as photographs, information from a list selection, voice recordings, GPS coordinates, etc. Platforms vary in ease of use, cost, and features [https://www.betterevaluation.org/methods-approaches/methods/mobile-data-collection].

== Aspiration mapping, brainstorming & Co-design of field trips and excursions ==

Brainstorming, ideas co-reflection, and collaborative goal and concept formation occur during the co-design of a field trip. The participants need a place and different methods to inspire them to discuss, think, and share ideas. Here, you have some tools and proposed techniques for brainstorming and collaborative design.

== Sensory mapping (sensations, perspective, sentiments) ==
Sensory studies are important to develop an understanding of the relationship between people and the built environment.
Senses have a crucial role in the definition of space and place. The identity of a space is not a static structure, and can vary from one social context to another [https://bac-lac.on.worldcat.org/oclc/300946176 (Relph, 1976)].
Maps have been considered as means of graphic communication using abstraction, representation and design to convey a message to a community of users [https://www.guilford.com/books/How-Maps-Work/Alan-MacEachren/9781572300408 (MacEachren, 2004)]. From this perspective, the role of representation in mapping is as a means for communicating spatial data in an effective way.
Most of the technics used in contemporary scientific visualization have relied on mapping methods to provide their initial model. Beyond its role as a tool for representation, the map is referred to as a metaphor for the presentation and representation of spatial and non-spatial data. It advocates the representation and examination of complex information that can be mapped to display different aspects of spatial environments [https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1559/152304001782174005 (Fairbairn, et al., 2001)].

== Aspiration mapping, brainstorming & Co-design of field trips and excursions ==

Brainstorming, ideas co-reflection, and collaborative goal and concept formation occur during the co-design of a field trip. The participants need a place and different methods to inspire them to discuss, think, and share ideas. Here, you have some tools and proposed techniques for brainstorming and collaborative design.

== Sensory mapping (sensations, perspective, sentiments) ==
Sensory studies are important to develop an understanding of the relationship between people and the built environment.
Senses have a crucial role in the definition of space and place. The identity of a space is not a static structure, and can vary from one social context to another [https://bac-lac.on.worldcat.org/oclc/300946176 (Relph, 1976)].
Maps have been considered as means of graphic communication using abstraction, representation and design to convey a message to a community of users [https://www.guilford.com/books/How-Maps-Work/Alan-MacEachren/9781572300408 (MacEachren, 2004)]. From this perspective, the role of representation in mapping is as a means for communicating spatial data in an effective way.
Most of the technics used in contemporary scientific visualization have relied on mapping methods to provide their initial model. Beyond its role as a tool for representation, the map is referred to as a metaphor for the presentation and representation of spatial and non-spatial data. It advocates the representation and examination of complex information that can be mapped to display different aspects of spatial environments [https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1559/152304001782174005 (Fairbairn, et al., 2001)]. Τhe mapping of sentiments and senses can be a useful tool that reflects the image of the city and the way that users perceive public space.
The identity of a city is not only defined by its visual, physical features and its appearance but also by its other sensory elements. Sensory mapping is a creative way for participants to co-create a collective mosaic of their public space conception.

[https://www.sensorytrust.org.uk/resources/guidance/sensory-mapping Here] you can find more ideas and information about sensory mapping.

* '''Mind maps/mental maps''': Mind mapping is a visual method to represent information and can be used to effectively brainstorm and structure ideas. In its purest form, mind maps are a means to get information in your brain out in front of you [https://talentnook.com/blog/mind-mapping-using-mind-maps-to-enhance-student-learning]. [https://zapier.com/blog/best-mind-mapping-software/ Here] you can find information about mind mapping and mind mapping online tools.
* '''[https://simplemind.eu/ Simple mind:]''' An app for mind mapping
* '''[https://cmap.ihmc.us/ Cmap Concept maps]''': Cmap software is a result of research conducted at the Florida Institute for Human & Machine Cognition (IHMC). It empowers users to construct, navigate, share and criticize knowledge models
* '''[https://lucid.app/documents#/documents?folder_id=recent Lucidchart:]''' Mind mapping app
* '''Photovoice method:''' A research method in which participants take pictures to illustrate their situations. Instructions [https://ctb.ku.edu/en/table-of-contents/assessment/assessing-community-needs-and-resources/photovoice/main here].

== Collaborative SWOT analysis ==
'''SWOT analysis''' is a tool that can be used in public space recognition and during the recording of issues related to developing a strategy. It is widely used in different professional and scientific sectors as this method maps an issue/problem easily, in-depth, and mainly with broad participation.

* The acronym SWOT comes from the English: Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats (respectively in Greek: strengths, weaknesses, other words, threats)
* '''Examples and instructions''': https://repository.participatorylab.org/dataset/swot
* '''“How to perform a SWOT analysis”''' video with simple steps: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I_6AVRGLXGA

== Data collection and Mobile data collection tools ==
The data collection is a crucial step of a participatory project. During this process, the participants and the facilitators collect all the qualitative and quantitative information that will define the results of the whole project. Some common data collection methods include surveys, interviews, observations, experiments, focus groups, questionnaires, and secondary data analysis.

Mobile Data Collection (MDC) uses mobile phones, tablets, or personal digital assistants for data collection. MDC can benefit the evaluator by collecting quantitative data for their evaluation or abstracting data for an assessment.

There are many mobile phone applications (referred to as platforms) that will allow you to build a mobile data collection survey. These platforms will allow you to customize the survey to collect specific data as required, such as photographs, information from a list selection, voice recordings, GPS coordinates, etc. Platforms vary in ease of use, cost, and features [https://www.betterevaluation.org/methods-approaches/methods/mobile-data-collection].

== Consultation / Voting / Evaluation tools ==

Consultation is an essential process of the participatory approach as it allows different voices to be heard. All the results and materials often go under voting by the participants to approve them or choose their favorites among them. Voting surveys are also helpful for arranging meetings or other logistic matters of the project that need to be determined.

== Aspiration mapping, brainstorming & Co-design of field trips and excursions ==

Brainstorming, ideas co-reflection, and collaborative goal and concept formation occur during the co-design of a field trip. The participants need a place and different methods to inspire them to discuss, think, and share ideas. Here, you have some tools and proposed techniques for brainstorming and collaborative design.

== Sensory mapping (sensations, perspective, sentiments) ==
Sensory studies are important to develop an understanding of the relationship between people and the built environment.
Senses have a crucial role in the definition of space and place. The identity of a space is not a static structure, and can vary from one social context to another [https://bac-lac.on.worldcat.org/oclc/300946176 (Relph, 1976)].
Maps have been considered as means of graphic communication using abstraction, representation and design to convey a message to a community of users [https://www.guilford.com/books/How-Maps-Work/Alan-MacEachren/9781572300408 (MacEachren, 2004)]. From this perspective, the role of representation in mapping is as a means for communicating spatial data in an effective way.
Most of the technics used in contemporary scientific visualization have relied on mapping methods to provide their initial model. Beyond its role as a tool for representation, the map is referred to as a metaphor for the presentation and representation of spatial and non-spatial data. It advocates the representation and examination of complex information that can be mapped to display different aspects of spatial environments [https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1559/152304001782174005 (Fairbairn, et al., 2001)]. Τhe mapping of sentiments and senses can be a useful tool that reflects the image of the city and the way that users perceive public space.
The identity of a city is not only defined by its visual, physical features and its appearance but also by its other sensory elements. Sensory mapping is a creative way for participants to co-create a collective mosaic of their public space conception.

[https://www.sensorytrust.org.uk/resources/guidance/sensory-mapping Here] you can find more ideas and information about sensory mapping.

* '''Mind maps/mental maps''': Mind mapping is a visual method to represent information and can be used to effectively brainstorm and structure ideas. In its purest form, mind maps are a means to get information in your brain out in front of you [https://talentnook.com/blog/mind-mapping-using-mind-maps-to-enhance-student-learning].

== Collaborative SWOT analysis ==
'''SWOT analysis''' is a tool that can be used in public space recognition and during the recording of issues related to developing a strategy. It is widely used in different professional and scientific sectors as this method maps an issue/problem easily, in-depth, and mainly with broad participation.

* The acronym SWOT comes from the English: Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats (respectively in Greek: strengths, weaknesses, other words, threats)

== Data collection and Mobile data collection tools ==
The data collection is a crucial step of a participatory project. During this process, the participants and the facilitators collect all the qualitative and quantitative information that will define the results of the whole project. Some common data collection methods include surveys, interviews, observations, experiments, focus groups, questionnaires, and secondary data analysis.
Mobile Data Collection (MDC) uses mobile phones, tablets, or personal digital assistants for data collection. MDC can benefit the evaluator by collecting quantitative data for their evaluation or abstracting data for an assessment.
There are many mobile phone applications (referred to as platforms) that will allow you to build a mobile data collection survey. These platforms will allow you to customize the survey to collect specific data as required, such as photographs, information from a list selection, voice recordings, GPS coordinates, etc. Platforms vary in ease of use, cost, and features [https://www.betterevaluation.org/methods-approaches/methods/mobile-data-collection].

Some common data collection methods include surveys, interviews, observations, experiments, focus groups, questionnaires, and secondary data analysis.
Mobile Data Collection (MDC) uses mobile phones, tablets, or personal digital assistants for data collection. MDC can benefit the evaluator by collecting quantitative data for their evaluation or abstracting data for an assessment.
There are many mobile phone applications (referred to as platforms) that will allow you to build a mobile data collection survey. These platforms will allow you to customize the survey to collect specific data as required, such as photographs, information from a list selection, voice recordings, GPS coordinates, etc. Platforms vary in ease of use, cost, and features [https://www.betterevaluation.org/methods-approaches/methods/mobile-data-collection].

== Consultation / Voting / Evaluation tools ==

Consultation is an essential process of the participatory approach as it allows different voices to be heard. All the results and materials often go under voting by the participants to approve them or choose their favorites among them. Voting surveys are also helpful for arranging meetings or other logistic matters of the project that need to be determined.

Category:1 What is a participatory process

2024-05-10T15:15:00Z

Yannis: /* The fields of participation */

== '''What is participation?==

Participation, in general, is a structured methodology involving a community/group of people in a specific collective practice or decision-making.
Participation can make a process inclusive and democratic
It can make different voices and needs to be heard
The participatory projects vary regarding objectives, methods, tools, scale, subjects, goals, and expected results.

Community participation, in general, and participatory design, specifically, are terms that, although broadly used, are not to this day fully defined. There are many ways in which participation can be implemented, and the projects of participatory design vary a lot in terms of their objectives, methods, tools, and results.

Over the past decade, there has been a real shift towards more democratic and participatory decision-making processes. Among other institutions, the European Union (EU) promotes and develops participatory governance by meaningfully involving relevant stakeholders in all phases of the policy cycle, from identifying the problem to policy evaluation and recognising the added value of such engagement. This “participatory turn” is based on the consultation/participation methods of various citizens and social groups that have developed in the last decades. Yet, the process has been greatly enhanced by the explosion of new technologies and social networking tools over the last decade.

Nevertheless, the idea of participation in planning and designing space started way back, in the 1950s and 1960s, following a discussion on community engagement and the activation of the city dwellers. This period as [https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/00049180500325694 Marcus B. Lane (2005)] puts it in his book [https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/00049180500325694 “Public Participation in Planning: an intellectual history”], marks also “perhaps the single most important ‘revolution’ in planning thought occurred in the late 1950s and 1960s”. According to him, it was at that time when, first in the US and then in Britain, systems or synoptic planning usurped blueprint planning. This - in his understanding - made geographers and urban planners able to work on another scale, which was impossible until then. It gave them the opportunity to approach the planning process from different points of view, using different data and being able to include other opinions and ideas.

After some years the idea of the citizen’s participation in decision making and planning had gained important recognition. At that point, around 1970, criticism appeared on the field. An important voice was that of [https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/01944366908977225 Arnstein (1969)], who provocatively argued that “the idea of citizen participation is a little like eating spinach: no one is against it in principle because it is good for you” [https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/01944366908977225 (Arnstein 1969, p. 216)]. What Arnstein tried to do was to deliver a serious critique on the citizen participation as it was implemented in many urban planning programmes. In her opinion in many of those programmes, the people in charge, the policy makers, or the planners, did not really seek for public participation, but only for the public consensus that a pretence of participation would bring. Her main point was that for participation to be meaningful, there should also be a redistribution of power.

[[File:Image1.jpg| thumb | right | Collaborative mapping in Miro. The students design their schoolyard in Halandri Neighborhood, Athens. UIA project, source: commonspace]]

In the last few years, many have tried to give the participation term a more comprehensive definition. One example is that of [https://kritiki.gr/product/chorotaxikos-schediasmos/ Giaoutzi and Stratigea (2011)], who consider participatory planning as a "democratic process of lifelong learning, in which participants gain knowledge about themselves but also the values and views of other participants".

According to [https://kritiki.gr/product/chorotaxikos-schediasmos/ Giaoutzi and Stratigea (2011)], the participatory approaches in planning answer mainly to the needs of:
* Conflict management between the evolution of technology/science and society that has been developed since the midst 20th century.
* Management of environmental problems, especially from the 1960s and onwards.

== '''The meaning of participation==

A participatory activity/workshop/design is a methodology in which:
* The process is structured according to the basic objectives and activities of participation.
* The facilitators and participants collaborate in order to make a decision or develop a collective result on a problem/subject.
* A combination of specific techniques and tools is implemented.

* Public space discourse and conceptualization

== '''What is participation?==

Participation, in general, is a structured methodology involving a community/group of people in a specific collective practice or decision-making.
Participation can make a process inclusive and democratic
It can make different voices and needs to be heard
The participatory projects vary regarding objectives, methods, tools, scale, subjects, goals, and expected results.

Community participation, in general, and participatory design, specifically, are terms that, although broadly used, are not to this day fully defined. There are many ways in which participation can be implemented, and the projects of participatory design vary a lot in terms of their objectives, methods, tools, and results.

Over the past decade, there has been a real shift towards more democratic and participatory decision-making processes. Among other institutions, the European Union (EU) promotes and develops participatory governance by meaningfully involving relevant stakeholders in all phases of the policy cycle, from identifying the problem to policy evaluation and recognising the added value of such engagement. This “participatory turn” is based on the consultation/participation methods of various citizens and social groups that have developed in the last decades. Yet, the process has been greatly enhanced by the explosion of new technologies and social networking tools over the last decade.

Nevertheless, the idea of participation in planning and designing space started way back, in the 1950s and 1960s, following a discussion on community engagement and the activation of the city dwellers. This period as Marcus B. Lane (2005) puts it in his book [https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/00049180500325694 “Public Participation in Planning: an intellectual history”], marks also “perhaps the single most important ‘revolution’ in planning thought occurred in the late 1950s and 1960s”. According to him, it was at that time when, first in the US and then in Britain, systems or synoptic planning usurped blueprint planning. This - in his understanding - made geographers and urban planners able to work on another scale, which was impossible until then. It gave them the opportunity to approach the planning process from different points of view, using different data and being able to include other opinions and ideas.

After some years the idea of the citizen’s participation in decision making and planning had gained important recognition. At that point, around 1970, criticism appeared on the field. An important voice was that of [https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/01944366908977225 Arnstein (1969)], who provocatively argued that “the idea of citizen participation is a little like eating spinach: no one is against it in principle because it is good for you” [https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/01944366908977225 (Arnstein 1969, p. 216)]. What Arnstein tried to do was to deliver a serious critique on the citizen participation as it was implemented in many urban planning programmes. In her opinion in many of those programmes, the people in charge, the policy makers, or the planners, did not really seek for public participation, but only for the public consensus that a pretence of participation would bring. Her main point was that for participation to be meaningful, there should also be a redistribution of power.

In the last few years, many have tried to give the participation term a more comprehensive definition. One example is that of [https://kritiki.gr/product/chorotaxikos-schediasmos/ Giaoutzi and Stratigea (2011)], who consider participatory planning as a "democratic process of lifelong learning, in which participants gain knowledge about themselves but also the values and views of other participants".

According to [https://kritiki.gr/product/chorotaxikos-schediasmos/ Giaoutzi and Stratigea (2011)], the participatory approaches in planning answer mainly to the needs of:
* Conflict management between the evolution of technology/science and society that has been developed since the midst 20th century.
* Management of environmental problems, especially from the 1960s and onwards.

== '''The meaning of participation==

A participatory activity/workshop/design is a methodology in which:
* The process is structured according to the basic objectives and activities of participation.
* The facilitators and participants collaborate in order to make a decision or develop a collective result on a problem/subject.
* A combination of specific techniques and tools is implemented.

== Sensory mapping (sensations, perspective, sentiments) ==
Sensory studies are important to develop an understanding of the relationship between people and the built environment.
Senses have a crucial role in the definition of space and place. The identity of a space is not a static structure, and can vary from one social context to another [https://bac-lac.on.worldcat.org/oclc/300946176 (Relph, 1976)].
Maps have been considered as means of graphic communication using abstraction, representation and design to convey a message to a community of users [https://www.guilford.com/books/How-Maps-Work/Alan-MacEachren/9781572300408 (MacEachren, 2004)]. From this perspective, the role of representation in mapping is as a means for communicating spatial data in an effective way.
Most of the technics used in contemporary scientific visualization have relied on mapping methods to provide their initial model. Beyond its role as a tool for representation, the map is referred to as a metaphor for the presentation and representation of spatial and non-spatial data. It advocates the representation and examination of complex information that can be mapped to display different aspects of spatial environments [https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1559/152304001782174005 (Fairbairn, et al., 2001)]. Τhe mapping of sentiments and senses can be a useful tool that reflects the image of the city and the way that users perceive public space.
The identity of a city is not only defined by its visual, physical features and its appearance but also by its other sensory elements. Sensory mapping is a creative way for participants to co-create a collective mosaic of their public space conception. [https://www.sensorytrust.org.uk/resources/guidance/sensory-mapping Here] you can find more ideas and information about sensory mapping.

== Collaborative SWOT analysis ==
'''SWOT analysis''' is a tool that can be used in public space recognition and during the recording of issues related to developing a strategy. It is widely used in different professional and scientific sectors as this method maps an issue/problem easily, in-depth, and mainly with broad participation.

* The acronym SWOT comes from the English: Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats (respectively in Greek: strengths, weaknesses, other words, threats)
* '''Examples and instructions''': https://repository.participatorylab.org/dataset/swot

== Data collection and Mobile data collection tools ==
The data collection is a crucial step of a participatory project. During this process, the participants and the facilitators collect all the qualitative and quantitative information that will define the results of the whole project. Some common data collection methods include surveys, interviews, observations, experiments, focus groups, questionnaires, and secondary data analysis.
Mobile Data Collection (MDC) uses mobile phones, tablets, or personal digital assistants for data collection. MDC can benefit the evaluator by collecting quantitative data for their evaluation or abstracting data for an assessment.
There are many mobile phone applications (referred to as platforms) that will allow you to build a mobile data collection survey. These platforms will allow you to customize the survey to collect specific data as required, such as photographs, information from a list selection, voice recordings, GPS coordinates, etc. Platforms vary in ease of use, cost, and features [https://www.betterevaluation.org/methods-approaches/methods/mobile-data-collection].

== Sensory mapping (sensations, perspective, sentiments) ==
Sensory studies are important to develop an understanding of the relationship between people and the built environment.
Senses have a crucial role in the definition of space and place. The identity of a space is not a static structure, and can vary from one social context to another [https://bac-lac.on.worldcat.org/oclc/300946176 (Relph, 1976)].
Maps have been considered as means of graphic communication using abstraction, representation and design to convey a message to a community of users [https://www.guilford.com/books/How-Maps-Work/Alan-MacEachren/9781572300408 (MacEachren, 2004)]. From this perspective, the role of representation in mapping is as a means for communicating spatial data in an effective way.
Most of the technics used in contemporary scientific visualization have relied on mapping methods to provide their initial model. Beyond its role as a tool for representation, the map is referred to as a metaphor for the presentation and representation of spatial and non-spatial data. It advocates the representation and examination of complex information that can be mapped to display different aspects of spatial environments [https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1559/152304001782174005 (Fairbairn, et al., 2001)]. Τhe mapping of sentiments and senses can be a useful tool that reflects the image of the city and the way that users perceive public space.
The identity of a city is not only defined by its visual, physical features and its appearance but also by its other sensory elements. Sensory mapping is a creative way for participants to co-create a collective mosaic of their public space conception. [https://www.sensorytrust.org.uk/resources/guidance/sensory-mapping Here] you can find more ideas and information about sensory mapping.

== Collaborative SWOT analysis ==
'''SWOT analysis''' is a tool that can be used in public space recognition and during the recording of issues related to developing a strategy. It is widely used in different professional and scientific sectors as this method maps an issue/problem easily, in-depth, and mainly with broad participation.

* The acronym SWOT comes from the English: Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats (respectively in Greek: strengths, weaknesses, other words, threats)

== Data collection and Mobile data collection tools ==
The data collection is a crucial step of a participatory project. During this process, the participants and the facilitators collect all the qualitative and quantitative information that will define the results of the whole project. Some common data collection methods include surveys, interviews, observations, experiments, focus groups, questionnaires, and secondary data analysis.
Mobile Data Collection (MDC) uses mobile phones, tablets, or personal digital assistants for data collection. MDC can benefit the evaluator by collecting quantitative data for their evaluation or abstracting data for an assessment.
There are many mobile phone applications (referred to as platforms) that will allow you to build a mobile data collection survey. These platforms will allow you to customize the survey to collect specific data as required, such as photographs, information from a list selection, voice recordings, GPS coordinates, etc. Platforms vary in ease of use, cost, and features [https://www.betterevaluation.org/methods-approaches/methods/mobile-data-collection].

Senses have a crucial role in the definition of space and place. The identity of a space is not a static structure, and can vary from one social context to another [https://bac-lac.on.worldcat.org/oclc/300946176 (Relph, 1976)].
Maps have been considered as means of graphic communication using abstraction, representation and design to convey a message to a community of users [https://www.guilford.com/books/How-Maps-Work/Alan-MacEachren/9781572300408 (MacEachren, 2004)]. From this perspective, the role of representation in mapping is as a means for communicating spatial data in an effective way.
Most of the technics used in contemporary scientific visualization have relied on mapping methods to provide their initial model. Beyond its role as a tool for representation, the map is referred to as a metaphor for the presentation and representation of spatial and non-spatial data. It advocates the representation and examination of complex information that can be mapped to display different aspects of spatial environments [https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1559/152304001782174005 (Fairbairn, et al., 2001)]. Τhe mapping of sentiments and senses can be a useful tool that reflects the image of the city and the way that users perceive public space.
The identity of a city is not only defined by its visual, physical features and its appearance but also by its other sensory elements. Sensory mapping is a creative way for participants to co-create a collective mosaic of their public space conception.

* '''Mind maps/mental maps''': Mind mapping is a visual method to represent information and can be used to effectively brainstorm and structure ideas. In its purest form, mind maps are a means to get information in your brain out in front of you [https://talentnook.com/blog/mind-mapping-using-mind-maps-to-enhance-student-learning]. [https://zapier.com/blog/best-mind-mapping-software/ Here] you can find information about mind mapping and mind mapping online tools.

== Collaborative SWOT analysis ==
'''SWOT analysis''' is a tool that can be used in public space recognition and during the recording of issues related to developing a strategy. It is widely used in different professional and scientific sectors as this method maps an issue/problem easily, in-depth, and mainly with broad participation.

* The acronym SWOT comes from the English: Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats (respectively in Greek: strengths, weaknesses, other words, threats)

== Data collection and Mobile data collection tools ==
The data collection is a crucial step of a participatory project. During this process, the participants and the facilitators collect all the qualitative and quantitative information that will define the results of the whole project. Some common data collection methods include surveys, interviews, observations, experiments, focus groups, questionnaires, and secondary data analysis.
Mobile Data Collection (MDC) uses mobile phones, tablets, or personal digital assistants for data collection. MDC can benefit the evaluator by collecting quantitative data for their evaluation or abstracting data for an assessment.
There are many mobile phone applications (referred to as platforms) that will allow you to build a mobile data collection survey. These platforms will allow you to customize the survey to collect specific data as required, such as photographs, information from a list selection, voice recordings, GPS coordinates, etc. Platforms vary in ease of use, cost, and features [https://www.betterevaluation.org/methods-approaches/methods/mobile-data-collection].
