Geodesign in Salvador Metropolitan Region: Regional Planning Based on Reproducible and Defensible Criteria.

As a contribution to the meeting IGC - International Geodesign Collaboration, a group of 14 Brazilian universities developed a case study about Trees forMetropolitan Regions. One of them, and the last one developed, was about the Salvador Metropolitan Region. Being the last one, it was an opportunity to apply the observations collected during the previous experiments, in order to arrive to a framework based on reproducible and defensible criteria. Themain improvements were new scripts to support decision making about the fulfillment of SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals) developed as WPS (Web Processing Service), and the composition of the groups (people from the area and not from the area). The results were analyzed according to the thematic, priority and locational assertiveness. From the collection of ideas, 67.9% were considered quite good and 23.2% were considered good. The indexes of the thematic and priority assertiveness were very high (96.4% and 89.2%), while the locational assertiveness was 73.2%. In face to these numbers, it was possible to affirm that the results were very good. It was an academic experiment, but the process of geodesign can be considered by the public administration in the regional plan that is under development.
