Hands-on mapping with QUICKScan

Hands-on mapping with QUICKScan Peter Verweij May 9 th 2018 A tool to facilitate the decision process in participatory settings

Why QUICKScan? Different tools to do integrated assessments, e.g.: Expert groups : short time frame, dialogue, flexible,transparent Complex models : many pre-fab. indicators, quantities, regional differences, visualisations Wish to use available data during explorative dialogue

What is QUICKScan? Participatory mapping approach Facilitated workshop with decision makers, stakeholders and experts Integrating expert knowledge, tacit knowledge and values Software tool to support the exploratory dialogue by linking knowlege to available spatial and statistical data 14.5.2018 3

What are process steps? Steps to organise a workshop

Scoping (formulate key questions together with user/donor) Preparation Select participants (together with user/donor) Gather evidence and potential alternatives (study background information and interview participants) Collect spatial and statistical data (or find proxies) Workshop(s) (create a common understanding) Flip-over Plan another iteration Develop model concept (Jointly define indicators, indicator metrics, and alternatives) Whiteboard, post-it Compute indicators (in situ), analyse results and elicit participant feedback Make knowledge explicit (Relate alternatives and indicators to gathered data using participant knowledge) Flip-over, computer and beamer computer and beamer Reporting (optional) (e.g. different alternatives, their impacts and comparison/trade-offs of alternatives)

What ESS mapping applications? (1/2) FP7 - OpenNESS Romania impact of water management scenarios on ESS (Recreation, fisheries, timber production, biodiversity, climate regulation) Scotland impact of forestry expansion scenarios on ESS (Timber, grazing, shooting, wader bird habitat, fishing) Netherlands, city of Utrecht state of urban green ESS (Air quality, noise regulation, urban heat island, water regulation) Hungary, Kiskunsag impact of climate change on ESS (Recreation, tourism (birding), biodiversity) Slovakia, Landscape ecological planning for the city of Trnva (Urban heat island, water retention, biodiversity) San Sebastian Spain, Green infrastructure for climate proofing (urban heat island - health, water retention, flood protection, recreation)

What ESS mapping applications? (2/2) MAES TRAINed 17 Member States on MApping ES Parallel sessions per Member State Each Member State produced 3 maps Jointly produced an ESS map in 3 hours (Policy maker, Ecosystem service expert, GIS expert, tool expert)

Screen setup 2. Component library (maps, expert rules, etc.) 1. Tabs to navigate between main screens: Workflows define model by using components fromlibrary Results compare results fromdifferent workflows 3. Workflows canvas Drag components here to relate them together and define new knowledge rules

Explore maps Dragcomponent onto canvas and view its map

Define indicator metric Click to create new metric

Create new lookup rule

Create new lookup rule 1. Rule is added to library 2. Drag onto the canvas

Create new lookup rule 3. Link rule to data 1. Rule is added to library 2. Drag onto the canvas

Create new lookup rule 3. Link rule to data 1. Rule is added to library 2. Drag onto the canvas 4. Apply rule and view map

Create alternative potential extraction

Create alternative +accessibility

Compare alternatives - difference map 1. Choose indicator of interest 2. Select alternative A and B

Final alternative valuate by including species price

QUICKScan: feedback Advantages Fast and transparent Supports reaching consensus The method stimulates to truly work together in interdisciplinary teams Can do an assessment without complex, time consuming and expensive modelling Critical reflections Requires relevant participants (if the stakeholders don t bring in important information you might miss out the effects that make a difference) How strong will the evidence-base of the results of a workshop be back in the political arena? Limited to spatial explicit issues and availability of data

What is needed to do a QUICKScan? People Policy-/decision makers Experts for topic at stake Experienced QS modeller (to help formulate typologies and knowledge rules) Discussion facilitator Process Facilitated workshop (in which all people are present) Open dialogue Technology GIS- and statistical data Software tool
