Abstract
For validating the feasibility and effectiveness of the WikiGIS concept that has been proposed as a solution to better meet the main dimensions and requirements of Geodesign process, we have conducted a qualitative study based on a mixed methodology: questionnaire and interview with experts in various fields such as geomatics, architecture, urban planning, Geodesign, etc. This qualitative study aims initially at ensuring the relevance of developed features, which are managing traceability contributions, navigation in the history of contributions via a time browser and cartographic interface GeoWeb 2.0; and proposed WikiGIS features, which are the parameters of the data quality, the deltification, geoprocessing and sketching tools and the multimedia hyperlinks supporting the argument. Second, it is an opportunity to better understand Geodesign. In fact, thirty (30) experts have been involved. The results show that WikiGIS features are very relevant to support the collaborative dimension of the Geodesign process.
