ProPlaNET- Web 2.0 based Sustainable Project Planning

Abstract

The ProPlaNET application is a web based tool which supports sustainable project planning based on eParticipation and Web 2.0 techniques. Sustainable development is the only viable concept for long term survival. Public and company projects nowadays often require to consider these aspects and to include the views of the affected population. However, in reality considering a multitude of views and often contradictory goals is not trivial. Furthermore, supporting these demands with currently existing tools is not suitable most of the time. ProPlaNET provides a web based platform to inform and involve people throughout the entire planning process. The main goal is to create a transparent and comprehensive decision process based on indicators which result in a multi criteria decision analysis. The results will be published, documented and explained for interested persons.
