Participatory web, public participation, collaborative spatial planning, rural building integration, decision- making, user perceptionsAbstract
This paper presents the final web implementation and statistical survey results from a continuing broad research project. In this work, a web spatial planning application with public participation was developed to support suitable rural tourism building integrations into a landscape. The general goal of this paper is to examine how research can contribute to support users’ decision-making, together with its application to an empirical case study in Hervás, Spain. With the participants’ data set grouped by four different clusters, this study examined the identification of spatial models for the different perceptions and knowledge sharing of building integrations into a rural landscape, the certification of the possible impact on tourism and the definition of interface usability. The results demonstrated the web could achieve consensus on recommendations for the spatial planning with the implementation of decision alternatives.
