| dc.description.abstract | English: The purpose of this article is to introduce the development of the Regional Spatial Profiler – a spatial information and modelling platform – for the Department of Science and Technology. Based on the steps set out in action research, this platform is aimed at strengthening spatial planning at a regional scale by providing accessible and comparable spatial information (of current and past trends) to planning practitioners in government. To ensure that the Profiler met the requirements and expectations of users, and would be used by practitioners, its user-interface and future content requirements were developed using four living laboratories (living labs): the Cape Winelands, Ugu and Amatole District Municipalities, and Mangaung Local (now Metro) Municipality. Municipal participants and project team members believed that a living-lab process was the appropriate way to develop the Profiler and experienced the living-lab Profiler as a positive initiative; however, due to time, budget and technical constraints, it was a temporally – specific and fragmented project initiative. What would be required in future project phases would be a longer time frame and continued user involvement in multiple project phases. | en_ZA |
| dc.description.abstract | Afrikaans: Die doel van hierdie artikel is om die ontwikkeling van die ruimtelike Profiler – ’n ruimtelike inligting- en modelleringplatform – vir die Departement van Wetenskap en Tegnologie, bekend te stel. Gebaseer op die stappe wat in aksienavorsing gebruik word, beoog hierdie platform om ruimtelike beplanning op plaaslike skaal te bevorder deur die voorsiening van toeganklike en vergelykbare ruimtelike inligting (van die huidige en vorige tendense) aan beplanningspraktisyns in die regering. Om te verseker dat die Profiler aan die vereistes en verwagtinge van die gebruikers voldoen, en wel deur praktisyns gebruik gaan word, is die gebruikerskoppelvlak en toekomstige inhoudelike vereistes ontwikkel met behulp van vier lewende laboratoriums: die Kaapse Wynland, Ugu en Amatole distriksmunisipaliteite en Mangaung Plaaslike (nou Metro) Munisipaliteit. Munisipale deelnemers en lede van die projekspan glo dat ’n lewende laboratorium-proses die geskikte manier was om die Profiler te ontwikkel en ervaar die lewende laboratorium Profiler as ’n positiewe inisiatief, maar as gevolg van tyd, begroting en tegniese beperkings was dit ’n tydelike en gefragmenteerde projekinisiatief. Wat nodig sou wees vir toekomstige projekfases is ’n langer tydsbestek en voortgesette gebruikerbetrokkenheid in verskeie projekfases. | af |
