description

International audience; For 25 years now the territorial intelligence method Catalysis offers amultidimensional and multisectorial approach to territory. It integrates quantitativeanalysis, qualitative and spatial methods to co-construct tools available to actors insustainable development. It is an ambitious way of thinking because of the extremelyrapid evolution of information and communication technology and, consequently, ofthese methods.We passed successively to the idea of a "Catalyse toolkit" that put together tools on apersonal computer in the early 2000s, to the concept of "territorial intelligencecommunity systems" at the end of the European program caENTI (2006-2009). SCIT isa socio-technical system that articulates an online integrated technological platformand a partnership of actors cooperating within a joint project, by equating the actors’network to a users’ network. It is designed as an information system meeting thecollaborative uses of the actors.CaENTI had produced a first set of methodological specifications and committedcomputer modelling of SCIT. The International Cooperation Network “InternationalNetwork of Territorial Intelligence”, GDRI INTI, continued this research as part of theaxis "territorial observation."
