The result is that some social analysis aspects are included in the analysis, especially in the Metro Company. The best example of social aspects in the analysis work is the Metro Company’s socio-economic mapping tool. The Road Directory’s social aspects are on the other side environmental and noise issue. The difference between the two results is down to the different infrastructure types. The mapping tools main weakness is the lack of interpretation which is left to the politicians. Interpretation is not done in-house by the Metro Company due to lack of method.
The cases show the area is dominated by a top-down approach, the owners of the organisations are setting the agenda and give directions on what they need and what they want to include in the analysis. (Less)
