QUICKScan
A Participatory Spatial Analysis Tool to Facilitate Policy Assessments
Peter Verweij, Michiel van Eupen
Geospatial world forum – policy/research
Rotterdam, 16 May 2013
Policy makers wish
• Easy to handle research tool
• Fast, simple and transparent,
also in terms of needed data
• Can be carried out in a multiactor as well as a multi-level
setting
• Helping to produce credible
policy proposals
Why QUICKScan?
 Different tools to do EC policy assessments, e.g.:
● Expert groups : short time frame, dialogue, transparent
● Complex models : quantities, regional differences, visualisations
 Wish to use available data during explorative dialogue

What is QUICKScan?
Software tool
Spatial (and spatio-statistical)
analysis tool
to link available spatial data
to knowledge rules
Used in participatory process
To support exploratory dialogue
in a facilitated workshop
How use QUICKScan ?
Given a (policy) objective:
1.
Evidence gathering: study policy documents and interview policy makers and
experts
 Identify potential policy alternatives
 Identify data needs
2.
Gather data or find proxies
(originating from EU datacentres, research, others)
 Classified remote sensing data (e.g. CORINE land cover, or HANTS phenology/land use)
 Model results from preceding runs (e.g. CAPRI, agriculture , CLUE land demands, ENSEMBLES climate projections)
 Statistical data (e.g. EUROSTAT, ESPON, FAO, GMES urban atlas)
 Plans (e.g. planned roads)
3.
Organise workshop with policy makers and experts
 Jointly define alternatives and indicators to measure the impact
 Relate alternatives and indicators to available data via expert knowledge
 Iterate (re-define) and Conclude

Where is the problem?
How big/severe is it?
Who is affected?
need to intervene?

Tool demo
Illustrated by case:
 Accessibility from urban areas to green areas
Tool
(1/9) – screen setup
2. Component library
(maps, expert rules, etc.)
1. Tabs to navigate between main screens:
•
•
‘Workflows’ – define model by using
components from library
‘Results’ – compare results from different
workflows
3. ‘Workflows’ canvas
Drag components here to relate them together
and define new knowledge rules
Tool
(2/9) – explore background maps
Drag component onto
canvas and view its map
Tool
(2/9) – look at components for Green areas
Tool
(3/9) – Define knowledge matrix
Tool
(3/9) – add and link matrix
2. Drag matrix onto canvas
1. Matrix is added
to the library
3. Link to data
Tool
(3/9) – apply matrix and view map
Tool
(4/9) – zoom and show causal chain
Tool
(4/9) – zoom and show causal chain

Applications
Applications developed
● Green Infrastructure
(incl. role of climate change in Natura2000)
● EU land use changes and Ecosystem Services
● Yellow River delta (China), wetland conservation
(under pressure by oil fields, acquaculture, urban expansion)
● Darfur, resettlement of displaced persons
Applications
 Applications developed
● Green Infrastructure
(incl. role of climate change in Natura2000)
● EU land use changes and Ecosystem Services

● Market Based Instruments
for biodiversity and ecosystem services
Potential QUICKScan case study locations
● South america, role of biodiversity in climate mitigation
 Planned
● EU: High Nature Value forests
● Dutch region, TEEB
● EU: Urban expansion
(urban morphological zones, night light and suitability for urbanisation)
