Various skills and background knowledge are required depending on the chosen setting and purpose. For a good interpretation of the results, the user should have basic knowledge of the different fields called upon in the tool. To setup a new model application within an existing tool for a different geographical location, an experienced specialist is needed. In case the tool is used in a workshop or during a stakeholder meeting, a facilitator is required with basic skills in hydrodynamics and morphology to translate and interpret results for the group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Requirements<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

To run an interactive design session you need:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

a) MapTable software;
b) a database of local conditions (depends on the tool);
c) a predictive model.

All these requirements need to be well prepared, linked and tested. Such combination is suitable to study one specific design issue at one location.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Applications<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Using a tool application in a workshop setting or developing a new tool application, requires basic skills and capacities of the user or user group. The requirements depend largely on the preferred level of adaptation of the tool application. A case can be developed based on:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. current tool applications, where no adaptation of the tool application is required;<\/li>
  2. current tool applications in a different geographical setting, where the existing tool application will be adapted to meet the new geographical settings; and<\/li>
  3. a new tool application.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Cases and tool applications can be developed to address a specific problem for a specific geographical area. Prior to a workshop, these tool applications have to be modified or developed. Modification of a tool application or the development of a new tool application, including adequate testing, might take a significant amount of time. Requirements are listed in the tables below. Listed requirements for level 1 case development are also required for levels 2 and 3, and requirements for level 2 are also required for level 3 case development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
