Geodesign is a set of methods to shared construction of alternative futures to a territory. Among the existing methods, Steinitz’s framework proposes analytical and propositional steps. In analytical step the goal is to compose maps identifying vulnerabilities and attractiveness of the area. In propositional step the users design diagrams of projects and policies to the place to be negotiated between the participants. To analyze the diagrams could help support the negotiations. The study presents the construction of methods, using ETL Tools, to describe the characteristics of the diagrams, mainly the locational and topological similarities. The similarities can be used to indentify projects or policies that are equivalent, complementary or conflicting, helping the negotiation process, reducing the time spent in unnecessary discussions.DOI: https://doi.org/10.20365/disegnarecon.20.2018.15

This article presents the urban research platform IndAtlas, currently in development by UFMG’s Research Group Indisciplinar. Through the association of crowdsourcing tools, a spatial database and visualizations, it is intended to create a Web platform for collecting, analyzing and depicting information about urban spaces. It is proposed that the phenomena (themes) investigated are approached mainly from four axes: 1) spatial / territorial; 2) temporal; 3) social; 4) communicational.The article will address the development of Indisciplinar’s working method, which guided the proposal of the platform, as well as the functional and technical aspects to be observed for its implementation. Finally, the inquiries derived from the first test experiment of an IndAtlas test prototype will be presented.DOI: https://doi.org/10.20365/disegnarecon.20.2018.2
