Planner in the Field of Public Participation
In my planning practice I have to create
a process in which information
is emotionally and cognitively perceived
and accepted by the participants
in order to arrive at decisions
concerning their future.

Shared Reality
A successful planning process results in a shared
constructed reality. This reality emerges from
interaction and communication in groups.
To communicate it is necessary:
o to get into contact,o to come to a mutual understanding.

Mutual Understanding
• sending and perceiving participants
should have corresponding capacities
to perceive and to interprete.• corresponding structures increase
during the common experience of
concrete situations.

Concrete Situations
Walking through the space to be planned, helps to get
into contact, change interactions, and produce mutual
respect for different points of view. Therefore each
encounter in a planning process is structured in a
walking and a sitting period.
→ moved planning process

Phases of One Encounter
Welcome Common starting Arrival in the situation Joint experience of Movement and
Space Find the Topics Common decisions Sharing of responsibilities

Presence
My current research results relate to: • my practical experiences,• studying literature,• a field experiment,• to insights of the theory of contact
(gestalttherapy).

Presence, with the focus on one personWe experience presence in concrete
situations.
The experience of presence is necessary to:
• perceive, • interprete, and to • integrate new infomation to the
personal acting.

Presence, with the focus on groupsInteractions of groups in presence:
• get into contact,• buildig trust,• mutual understanding,• shared reality,• common knowledge construction,• decision making.

Contact during Walking
• The bodies of participants give information about state and attitude during encounter.
• Participants achieve a common rhythm, fall in step and synchronize breathing.
• During walking participants encounter the same concrete stimuli, the space to be planned.

Results of the Field Experiment• Participants experience immediate
responses which evoke primary patterns of existence and less patterns of intellectual thinking.
• Different experiences remain side by side as different concepts,but concrete experiences “Here and Now” and understanding are shared, and form the base for alternative interactions.

Field Experiment Shared Reality
The body language of the participants
showed first in an emotional
correspondence
that there will come a decision about
the shared reality, a common
knowledge construction is named!

HOW Reality-Anticipating FutureDuring walking and sitting we reach a bodilyconsensus from bodily correspondence and then
in reflection we name what we experienced,
perceived,and our joint expectations:→ we anticipate the future and name it,→ a common knowledgeconstruction
increases,→ we make decisions,→ we immediately realize first steps.

Connection to Virtual Discussion
Data
presence in the planning process christine rottenbacher
Data wants
• to be seen,• to be experienced,• to be perceived,• to be integrated into knowledge and
everyday acting of the user.

Relation Data-User
Knowledge construction happens in the presence.
Now I am able to grasp new information and
integrate it to knowledge, if:• I have trust and confidence in the data,• the context of information-transfer is
simple and familiar.

Data and Presence
• concrete experienced situations,• well imagined situations, I am able to
remember previous experienced
situations in a holistic way-gestalt
theory.
presence in the planning process christine rottenbacher
Presence for Groups
Also the interaction with data has to run
through the
phases of:• getting into contact,• building trust,• understanding,• knowledge construction and decision
making,• realization and the shared experience of
outcome.

Contribution of group dynamicsThe experience of the outcome of first
decisions is important for the development of an
enlarged base of Interactions - a group dynamic.→ the corresponding system,
experienced in presence, supports participation, knowledge construction, and decision making.

Further Work
Pay more attention in combination of
concrete to virtual context for decision
making in groups.
