With the evolution of internet technology, it has
become possible to create public participation over
the internet. This project proposes a public
participation GIS system, to handle the public
participation issues regarding a suggested light rail
solution following “Ring 3” west of Copenhagen.
The solution is based on open source software, and
uses the possibilities form Google maps as data
background, making it expandable and free to use
for any case.
Through the development of the application it
became clear, that in order to create a successful
solution, several key elements was required.
The solution had to be user friendly, to enable the
broad public to participate, but also had to offer
advanced functions for the trained users.
Furthermore the solution had to be technologically
secure, to avoid unintended use of the system.
