SimCity Model

Hello! This is a Open Document for SimCity model

Abstract

Facilitate navigation between the data and understanding through indicators is a scalable method that is useful each time it hassome decision on intramprendere transform and / or consolidate a territory. This method of Strategic Planning Approaches and tools must be developed through a series of evolutionary steps, that our cities must follow, starting from a low level of more or less, depending on the dynamics and the collection of data that each agency has over the past 10 years. This time period is the period when the new software and new teconologie were able to meet the various needs of archivizione and mapping of data and information. Two sciences come into play in this planning INSTRUMENTS: Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI) andVolunteered Geographical Information (VGI). The first brings out the importance of having a structured basis for storing data, the second is a factor that has potential in data collection and dynamic lora. This method as a tool with which to manage the processes of planning should aim to predispose for the actions of AID and Decision of planning by administrators.

Introduction

The strategic planning tool that is proposed is a prerequisite to navigate easily to the urban context in which it is applied, thanks to some set of indicators that shape the policies and morphologies, which REPRESENTATION the territory. This results in theconvenience of the instrument, by creating scenarios, starting from the current one, that with a policy and a given geographicalurban morphology and may represent the future of the city in which it is applied. This explanation shall specify the nature of theplanning tool and the position to be taken within the complex planning process. It also examined the status of the digitization of the territory, which in principle is not sufficient to run the tool and for this reason we aim to create a structure able to deliver results in any context, by inserting the informations that come from processing of raw data as a technical paper and the data of a wide area.

1. Approccio scientifico

One of the famous tools for planning, which is commonly used in the subject area is the SWOT analysis, because it has the ability to keep the various operations to be applied in a given context, which is expected, then the result can be monitor the actual position with respect to the events that follow the implementation of the action. An action that projected on a theme can be a force (Strengths), weakness (Weaknesses), opportunities (Opportunities) and either a threat (Threats) is also a variable to that which is measured. When it comes to the territory, which according to the model of sustainable development is divided in the social, environmental and economic impacts of the SWOT are certainly different than when placed in a different sphere.

2. Approccio metodologico

The proposed strategic planning tool has two distinctive features, the first is the dynamism and adaptability, while the second is the logic of computing that is based on a defined model of analysis. These two features have a very deep bond, on whichoverrides the first returns to the instrument because its power and popular application, which will affect its usability by users, who often are not planning. Secondly, the dynamism and adaptability, prevails over the latter, as warns the analytical engine runningtime of queries which can not be returned. These logics are very similar to when you look at the server and client structures,hence the idea of ​​the system. So the tool is dynamic because it is capable of providing results even non-default and is adaptablebecause it is possible to choose the variables and intereagire through different scenarios, which can also make the comparison.

The analytical engine is characterized by many levels on which you are working with different types of access. In a nutshell, thisanalytical model we have levels of data that is processed instantly with indicators, according to the logic explained by scientist researchers named in the approach, the levels are formed to create reference scenarios in which you can specify the variablesand mutually reinforcing policies, the levels of documentary and archival, produce the qualitative aspect of the instrument, used for comparison and inspiration for new ideas, such as questionnaires, surveys, photographs, etc.. The multidimensional aspectof the analysis is structured in different levels, and returns the results and reports, which however must be carefully evaluates thedisclosure of information difficult to understand, without contextualization due to your situation. The geometric size /geographical territory is related to the design of the most interesting and dominant intereagire and with which you can view the results. The GIS is not only the basic software, but is used as a tool for land management, whether it consists of a web-gis-gis or desktop, is the primary means of input and output, the instrument of proposed strategic planning.

3. Sviluppo informatico

Support computer hardware and software, plays a key role and if the hardware necessary to adopt certain standard mid-level to build a server for software just follow the guidelines of OSGeo / GFOSS, while for data refers to Inspire, especially Plan4All, as regards the structure and the main Linux distributions and the various projects opendir, is the same GFOSS, indicate the bestpaths to take in terms of licensing and distribution. For the need of a reliable database in terms of both speed and storage and query in terms of types of data (qualitative, quantitative and geographical) has opted for a system Postgres / PostGIS, which besides having the aforementioned features is OpenSource and very strong community support. Of the above you can find aconcrete example in the town of Prato, here in Italy, which uses this database to the consultation Web data warehousing. For the development of the collaborative users, using the style of Wikipedia, especially in terms of content, support and collaboration.This approach combined with maps and GIS is linked to various strategy games, and from these comes the technique of interfacing with our virtual worlds and the ability to communicate and achieve strategic objectives together with many styleMassively Multiplayer Online Game (MMOG) .

4. Crowd sourcing vs Public Participation GIS

This strategic planning tool touches the ideas of Crowd Sourcing vs. Public Participation GIS in which the potential of avoluntary action of stakeholders (PPGIS) is transformed in the recovery of skilled resources that have already shown interest and are already prepared to make the next step of integration into the team built around the strategic tool. This mechanism is built with a sort of increased interest and participation, because citizens and stakeholders can intereagire with its territory and contribute, through an instrument considered in the public interest, with which the administration can respond in line with the principles transparency and publicity of the results, as well as enter into various other issues, including the geo. Taking the so-called MMOG roles are established and according to the progress and decisions can be taken, according to detailed rules,decide the fate of the choices that will be taken on its territory.

Conclusion

This tool for strategic planning brings with it a name that has evolved and changed in several years, not that this is an old method, indeed it is totally new and established as a hypothesis for Input2012. The evolutionary phase took place over several years is made up of a training, research and application in the local environment, considering this time, the summary of a methodology developed to date, with some unusual proposals. The name was chosen is: SimMyLocalAround (SMyLA), whereSim (ulation) is derived from the game SimCity, which consists of a reference tool that holds together the general idea, refers to the appearance of My socialmedia and more generally to web 2.0, making the web (and our city), very personalized and customized, with Local identifies a territory and its projection in a geographic database using GIS; finally Around you want totouch what the technology meant by (web) 3.0, which perhaps is not quite the right word, enter the web, but chronologicallythrough the web that has developed this technology has spread, but the SmartCities, could easily be called City3.0; around is what surrounds us , not only physically but also what most interests us and what we would like to see us around in certainsituations and at certain times of the day in study, work and leisure.
