Esri is actively seeking GeoDesign case studies for possible publication. The objective is to demonstrate GeoDesign principles in practice as a way to communicate these concepts to folks who are interested in learning more about GeoDesign. The cases need to be actual cases, not theoretical demonstrations. Cases may qualify for use in a GeoDesign Case Study book (currently being written), or they may be used as GeoDesign stories for publication in ArcNews or elsewhere.

The stipulation is that the GeoDesign case studies involve some aspect of:

• ArcGIS technology
• design in geographic space
• identification of issues
• process evaluation and analysis
• impact simulations
• fast iteration
• alternative scenario generation and comparison
• decision making

Additionally, they could involve but are not restricted to demonstrating:

• Sketching
• Workflow integration
• Collaboration
• 3D and 4D visualization
• Holism and interdependency
• Science- and value-based decision making

All materials (e.g., written contributions, images, photos, maps, models, data) must allow permission for use in publication. If you are interested in sharing your GeoDesign solutions or have questions, please contact Shannon McElvaney at smcelvaney@esri.com.
