Constraints Specification

The process of specifying constraints refers to identifying (often) quantitative limits that the criterion attributes have to satisfy. A spatial example would be the allowable slope of developed property on a coastal area. Certain regulations, for instance, do not allow the cutting of trees for the purpose of development in areas with a slope higher than, say, 8 percent.

The Participant Roles That Are Commonly Present During A Geodesign Process Phase/Step.

Values Of Decision Participants

A Participant Role Can Be Filled By Different Professional Roles Or Stakeholder Roles During Different Geodesign Process Phases/Steps. For Example, During The Constraints Specification Step, The Advisor Role Is Often Assumed By Business, Community, Public, Resource Owner. Mediator, GIS Analyst, Technology Provider, Decision Maker, Scientist, Lawyer, Policy Expert; During The Domain Data Analysis Step, The Advisor Role Is Often Assumed By GIS Analyst, Resource Manager, Scientist.
