Multimedia Presentation of Spatial Journalistic Content

. Everything happens somewhere. Thus, location plays an important role in data journalism. As interactive websites have become the standard medium for telling journalistic stories, web mapping and multimedia frameworks are often integrated to tell them in an audio-visually appealing way. Often, these integrated frameworks are developed by GIS or web mapping companies in order to reach new target groups such as journalists. In this study, we investigated different approaches for integrating web maps and multimedia presentations in a journalistic story. We first defined the most important criteria for a well-suited multimedia presentation of spatial journalistic content. We also identified the most relevant platforms for presenting spatial journalistic content, based on popularity and completeness. Finally, we built a sample story to show how web maps and multimedia elements can be used to represent spatial journalistic content. We built this story with the two most suitable frameworks and evaluated the story with experts and according to our criteria.

UNCERTAINTY MODELLING OF CITIZEN-CENTERED GROUP DECISION MAKING USING FUZZY-VIKOR CASE STUDY: SITE SELECTION OF HEALTHCARE SERVICES

. The participation of citizens in decision-making processes is one of the main concerns in urban planning. People’s contributions increase the usability and efficiency of urban facilities. Hospitals and healthcare services are among the most important public facilities that citizens require. This paper aims to improve an approach that could locate the hospitals according to the citizens’ preferences. Decision-making process in this situation should consider the uncertainties exist in any steps of decisions-making. In this regard, this paper applied Fuzzy-VIKOR method that is appropriate to model such kind of uncertainty. The proposed method was accomplished in Districts 6 of Tehran province. The achieved results were compared with each other in two different scenario (using expert knowledge and citizens’ satisfaction). The comparison of the results showed that the more suitable distribution and density of proposed sites for hospitals must be observed if the citizens’ perspectives were considered. Also, the proposed sites with experts follow urban planning principals rather than the second case.
