Please take the Module 4 Quiz.
Question 1: What is the purpose of the first iteration of the geodesign framework? (5 pts)
- Defining methods or strategies for solving a problem
- Developing scenarios and implementing a preferred solution
- Gathering and refine information about the study area
- Collecting all possible data for the study area
- Assembling a geodesign team to conduct research in the second iteration
Question 2: The first step in a geodesign project is collecting data. (5 pts)
Question 3: Please match the first iteration model to the scoping question it represents: (5 pts)
- Representation Models
- Process Models
- Evaluation Models
- Change Models
- Impact Models
- Decision Models
Note: Each model has only one correct question. The remaining are decoy questions.
- How does the study area operate?
- Is the study area threatened?
- How might the study area look in the future?
- How might the study area be altered?
- How should the study area be described in content, space, and time?
- Is the study area seen as attractive or vulnerable?
- Is the current study area working well?
- How do the people of the place view the study area?
- How should the study area be changed?
- What processes drive change in the study area?
- What differences might the changes cause?
Question 4: In the first iteration of the Geodesign Framework, the major difference between representation models and process models is: (5 pts)
- Process models analyze relationships between system elements, whereas representation models simple inventory elements of the system.
- Process models assess how data should be processed whereas representation models deal with data collection.
- Process models examine if the study area is working well, whereas representation models examine how the study area operates.
- Process models identify best practices and procedures for stakeholder engagement, whereas representation models identify which stakeholders should be represented in the project.
Question 5: How do evaluation models affect decision making? (5 pts)
- Evaluation models leverage information from process models to produce knowledge about how the study area may react to certain activities or uses in the future.
- Evaluation models involve a group of stakeholders coming together to vote on a preferred solution
- Evaluation models produce design alternatives in response to a suitability analysis.
- Evaluation models use spatial analysis and modeling to unveil geographic processes and relationships
- Evaluation models define the extent of the study area
Question 6: First iteration change models involve: (5 pts)
- Identifying what major changes are foreseen for the area and considering them in the design process
- Coming up a design that is the easiest and fastest to implement
- The development of preliminary scenarios for the study area.
- The development of alternative hypothetical futures that reflect areas of shared values among stakeholder groups.
Question 7: In your own words, what is the benefit of scenario development in geodesign? (10 pts)
Question 8: Which of the following is true regarding impact models? (5 pts)
- Impact models compare the potential consequences and benefits of alternative choices for the future.
- Impact models compare the consequences and benefits of current policies.
- Impact models provide a measurement of how serious or irreversible existing damage to the study area is.
- Impact models weight the potential consequences and benefits of a final design solution for the study area.
Question 9: First iteration decision models identify the following: (5 pts)
- The major stakeholders for the project
- Areas of agreement and conflict
- Major concerns for the study area
- How much the project will cost
- A preferred alternative to carry forward into final design
Question 10: Potential solutions should always involve a spatial component in design (allocation and/or organization of resources and assets), otherwise it is not geodesign. (5 pts)
Question 11: What is the purpose of the second iteration of the geodesign framework? (5 pts)
- Assembling a geodesign team to make decisions in the third iteration.
- Developing scenarios and implementing a preferred solution.
- Gathering and refine information about the study area.
- Defining methods or strategies for solving a problem.
- Performing extensive analysis on to understand the study area.
Question 12: For each model in the geodesign framework, we ask a series of questions. Each answer becomes a piece of information to apply to the study. The information collected in second iteration models informs: (5 pts)
- How to incorporate feedback
- How the study will be conducted
- What the issues are in the study area
- How to implement a design
Question 13: At what point (model) in the second iteration does one collect and visualize data? (5 pts)
