• Abstract:
  

  Miles’ job plan recognises seven phases in a construction project: Orientation, Information, Creativity, Evaluation, Development, Presentation and Feedback. The first three phases are core to design processes: orientation asks the question “what is to be accomplished?”, “What does the client need or want?”, “What are the desirable characteristics ?”. It is exactly in the definition of the “client” that community consultation plays an important role as project briefs are developed to include user requirements and their identification involves consultation activities and this is seen to increase project value.  Value management in construction projects have presented different possibilities during the phase of design that would facilitate interactions between different stakeholders like the traditional ‘Charette’ or ‘the 40 hour long engineering study’. This paper explores existing tools and technologies used by local planners to represent communities during consultation processes and a) verifies that mapping is an ideal and practical tool used by planners for representing communities while b) understanding existing shortcomings for using community mapping and new information technologies based on planners’ experiences and perceptions. Information is gathered through eight semi structured interviews from Senior planning Officers working for six Local Authorities in the West of Scotland. Part 1 investigates perceptions of consultation processes in the context of spatial planning. In Part 2, a list of spatial datasets was presented to the interviewees who were then asked to discuss their utilisation during decision making. In Part 3, a proposal for surveying seven different elements of communities is illustrated and their potential usability and relevance is discussed. Findings from these interviews are then used to discuss the complex relationships between planners’ representations of communities, planning theories, technologies, Statutes and funding allocation.
