  1. At Creekside Condominium, trees were planted in the shared property when it was built. By mistake, tall growing trees were planted rather than short growing trees. However, tall growing trees were planted by mistake, rather than short trees.

  2. After a few years, the trees grew and covered the views of a number of apartments.

  3. People were divided over whether to remove the trees or leave them alone.

  4. The directors were under a lot of pressure from both sides. Ethelo offered to help.

  5. We began by mapping out the general issues. Which Trees? Landscaping Strategy Time Period

  6. It wasn’t a black and white decision. Which Trees? Remove and Replace Just remove Prune Leave as is Landscaping Strategy Time Period

  7. South-Facing View-blocking All Trees Which Trees? Remove and Replace Just remove Prune Leave as is Landscaping Strategy Time Period

  8. South-Facing View-blocking All Trees Which Trees? Remove and Replace Just remove Prune Leave as is Landscaping Strategy Time Period One year Two years Three years

  9. South-Facing View-blocking All Trees There were actually quite a few possibilities. Which Trees? Remove and Replace Just remove Prune Leave as is Landscaping Strategy Time Period One year Two years Three years

  10. South-Facing View-blocking (5) There were also financial constraints. (3) (10) All Trees Which Trees? Remove and Replace Just remove Prune = $0 Leave as is Landscaping Strategy $100 house call fee Time Period One year = $300/tree = $850/tree Two years Three years = $80/tree

  11. South-Facing View-blocking All Trees Which Trees? Remove and Replace Just remove Prune Leave as is Landscaping Strategy Time Period One year A simple approach gave 36 possible outcomes Two years Three years

  12. We configured Ethelo and invited residents to participate. Each apartment was given an online access code.

  13. How does Ethelo work?

  14. “Social Preference” research shows people will resist outcomes where satisfaction is distributed unfairly They will also support outcomes they don’t agree with, if they feel the process was fair.

  15. The Ethelo algorithm finds highly supported outcomes where satisfaction is distributed fairly Ethelo distributes influence fairly to reduce polarization

  16. Ethelo identified the decision that would maximize satisfaction and minimize resistance.

  17. Ethelo rejected decisions with low satisfaction and high resistance.

  18. The result: Council voted to simply prune the trees that were blocking the views. There was no opposition. “We were delighted with the recent results achieved by Ethelo. We recommend Ethelo as an effective tool in dispute resolution and decision optimization.” Terry Li, Rancho Management Services

  19. Designing a neigbourhood park We need to design a park that won't go over budget, and that f its within the available land.   We only have $75,000 to spendThe maximum area is 100,000 square feet

  20. It’s best to configure Ethelo AFTER identifying the issues and options.
