Digital twin training with municipalities
Digital twins have been established for Fjord and Stranda municipalities, and training sessions have been held during spring 2022 for planners and other stakeholders to familiarize with the tool, its interface, and functionality.
Training sessions are important to bring project stakeholders up to speed on the current tools for participatory planning support, as well as gather feedback on features and functionality that is relevant in further developing tools. Through direct engagement, useful insights are gained for tool users, analysts and developers.

Gigamapping session in Stranda
Project partners met in Stranda June 2022 to further detail municipal case studies in a Gigamapping workshop.
Gigamapping is a process of System Oriented Design (SOD) used to help stakeholders, developers and analysts understand complex real world problems. The method is used to detail, contextualize and relate elements in complex systems and their environment in time and space. The process includes mapping across several topics, dimensions and scales in relation to a case, problem or theme. Each municipality worked through several map layers, to create case timelines, topic relations, and identify the potential for co-creation, visualization and data-collection for the municipal cases.
