Workshop II — From Data Structure to Territorial Decision-Making

How the territory is analytically constructed starting from data, before maps, dashboard, and policies.

Why Workshop II?

A fundamental step in the DIVA project

Workshop II represents a central milestone of the DIVA project. It is not a presentation of a software, but a demonstration of the working method through which the territory is analytically constructed starting from data. Before maps, before dashboard, before decisions, there is data.

The methodological pathway

From method to practice

Workshop II does not introduce a new methodology; instead, it provides a practical demonstration of how the DIVA methodology, as already defined in the project, is implemented and operates in practice.

What changes for the Municipality

A "new" way of working

  • single data repository
  • fewer scattered files
  • updated maps and indicators
  • support for:
    • plans
    • projects
    • reports
    • funding

Key question raised during Workshop II

t

What does the visitor see

Two levels, one system

Conceptual framework:

Backend (Municipality)

  • data, analysis, control, decisions

Frontend (citizens and visitors)

  • maps
  • attractions
  • events
  • itineraries
  • experiences

The Municipality sees the system. The visitor sees the territory already interpreted.

Why this architecture is smart

First the infrastructure, then the app

Without DIVA, an app is just a showcase

With DIVA, the app is the public expression of a solid territorial system

Institutional conclusion

Workshop II represents:

  • an important operational step;

  • a concrete demonstration of the project’s direction;

  • a solid foundation for the transition from the pilot phase to the structural use of the system.
