  1. Mapping the “worlds” – Organising information for analysis.

  2. Structure: Basic steps in SPICOSA approach. The SPICOSA DPSIR framework. The SPICOSA CATWOE model. The workshop case studies.

  3. Basic steps in SPICOSA approach: To understand the coast system we need to seperate « bits » of the coast into different types of categories (« worlds »). Then we need to see what makes up a certain world. Then we need to look at the groupings or interlinkages in the world. Then we need to reassemble worlds; this should give us a systems structure for the Gdansk coast.

  4. The coast is no different to a cuckoo clock: What is it the clock and mechanism made of and how does it work? Is the wood from sustainable forests, is it recyclable? The cuckoo is noisy in the night, and wakes me up – can I switch him off? How can we market it better so we sell more and make more profit?

  5. The coast is no different to a cuckoo clock: PHYSICAL: What is it the clock and mechanism made of and how does it work? ISSUE: Is the wood from sustainable forests, is it recyclable? USERS: The cuckoo is noisy in the night, and wakes me up – can I switch him off? INSTITUTIONAL: How can we market it better so we sell more and make more profit?

  6. Gdansk SSA is no different to a cuckoo clock: PHYSICAL: ….. ISSUE: …….. USERS: ……. INSTITUTIONAL: ……… How can these categories be organised so that the information and understanding can flow between them in a way so that the whole system can be managed?

  7. Exercises have identified issues and some of the pieces that relate to each issue. Some of the pieces will be better known than others – shape and content. Can we identify the links that will allow the puzzle be built?

  8. Pieces have different sizes and colours – with different influences and importance.

  9. Gdansk SSA is a complicated place with lots of different people doing lots of different things. • Who are these people and how are they linked to the physical and issue bits? • Can people be grouped? • Which are linked to issue? • What rules apply? • How are rules applied?

  10. One way to do this is a modification of the DPSIR method:

  11. CATWOE – mnemonic of 6 characters needed to explore functional relationship between stakeholders for an issue. C = Customers stakeholders affected by a transformation but not its control. A = Actors carry out transformations (policy & decision makers). T = Transformations conversion of input to output to change a system (policy to alter behaviour). W = Weltanschauunghworldview giving context/justification to T (future scenario of policy). 0 = Owners stakeholders with power ad influence to facilitate or block T. E = Environment features outside of human system.

  12. Previous meetings of the Gdansk SSA have identified many of the pieces. • The workshop will take 2 key issues that have been identified: • Regional development vs. Port development • Tourism capacity and explore if the SPICOSA DPSIR and CATWOE can help to organise information to discuss these issues.
