In dealing with participatory approaches in landscape decision-making, this contribution aims to expose an innovation in the application of the methodology called “world café” in a version that integrates the use of tools based on artificial intelligence (AI) to arrive at the exposure of the suggestions from the community to decision-makers. The contribution exposes: (1) an innovation of processes for the world café, thanks to new technologies based on (mathematical) diffusion models for the representation of urban spaces and landscapes; (2) the exhibition of an experimental application of this process held in the city of Urbino on the occasion of the Italian Youth Forum (IYF) 2024 of the Italian Youth Association for UNESCO (AIGU); (3) reflections on the possibilities and risks of using such AI-based tools in participatory decision-making processes. Moreover, the contribution focuses on the experimental process applied during the IYF, 2024, explaining: (1) the reasons for the choice of methodology; (2) the reasons for choosing an open source AI-based tool for converting verbal proposals into images; (3) the proposals of the participants that link the environment and the community—therefore concerning the landscape in its definition contained in article 1 of the European Landscape Convention (2000)—for the prevention/reduction of environmental damage under climate change conditions; (4) the presentation of proposals from the participants to the decision makers, through the use of the images produced, during the final event of IYF, 2024 at Teatro Sanzio (Urbino). Lastly, the experimental process integrates a tool for the representation of proposals, which is not intended to be a substitute but a supplement to the work of the illustrators. This process innovation does not suggest eliminating the possible role of designers in participatory processes. Rather, it can implement the general quality of the vision without requiring an increase in the time needed, taking the necessary measures to reduce risks such as the entry of privates (owners of the diffusion models) within a public decision-making action.

摘要

In dealing with participatory approaches in landscape decision-making, this contribution aims to expose an innovation in the application of the methodology called “world café” in a version that integrates the use of tools based on artificial intelligence (AI) to arrive at the exposure of the suggestions from the community to decision-makers. The contribution exposes: (1) an innovation of processes for the world café, thanks to new technologies based on (mathematical) diffusion models for the representation of urban spaces and landscapes; (2) the exhibition of an experimental application of this process held in the city of Urbino on the occasion of the Italian Youth Forum (IYF) 2024 of the Italian Youth Association for UNESCO (AIGU); (3) reflections on the possibilities and risks of using such AI-based tools in participatory decision-making processes. Moreover, the contribution focuses on the experimental process applied during the IYF, 2024, explaining: (1) the reasons for the choice of methodology; (2) the reasons for choosing an open source AI-based tool for converting verbal proposals into images; (3) the proposals of the participants that link the environment and the community—therefore concerning the landscape in its definition contained in article 1 of the European Landscape Convention (2000)—for the prevention/reduction of environmental damage under climate change conditions; (4) the presentation of proposals from the participants to the decision makers, through the use of the images produced, during the final event of IYF, 2024 at Teatro Sanzio (Urbino). Lastly, the experimental process integrates a tool for the representation of proposals, which is not intended to be a substitute but a supplement to the work of the illustrators. This process innovation does not suggest eliminating the possible role of designers in participatory processes. Rather, it can implement the general quality of the vision without requiring an increase in the time needed, taking the necessary measures to reduce risks such as the entry of privates (owners of the diffusion models) within a public decision-making action.
