through focus group discussions were participants responded positively, recognising space constraints but identifying value in income revenue at both individual and communal scale. Conclusions and recommendation In order to overcome the challenges of balancing compactness and ecosystem development while meeting populations’ demands in cities, tensions between social and ecological agendas over spatial planning must be better considered. The research participates in building a case study database to inform future practice. Participatory approaches are recognised in NUA as essential for just urban planning. Aligning with this purpose, the research shows mapping stands as a tool to contest, engage and include. If green infrastructure must lead to ‘win-win solutions’, then its design and implementation must consider these factors, in a manner it is adapted to local interests.

Integrating land use and water management planning with multicriteria analysis Presenting Author: Mr. Homero Castanier, Water and Sanitation Utility of the City of Quito, Ecuador Keywords Land, water, ecosystem, integration, planning Highlights Due to current pressures of population growth and urbanization is urgent the need of integrating land use and water resources planning with an ecosystem approach. This integration is effective by the application of a Multicriteria Analysis (MCA). The results were applied by the stakeholders in plans for the city of Quito. Introduction and objectives The pressures of population growth and urbanization are urging attention to the relationship between where and how people live and the water they need. Strategies are arising to integrate land use and water resources planning that will allow decision making based on the appropriate connections. The aim of this work is the design and application of a Multi-Criteria Analysis (MCA) model that allows the qualification of key interacting factors and elements for water management and land use planning under an ecosystems framework, determining the levels of relevance of the integration categories in order they should be given the corresponding consideration. Methodology approach This study has a qualitative and quantitative approach, starting with the definition of land use and water resources integration categories and the criteria and subcriteria for valuing them. The ecosystem based criteria, as the required or existing information and plans, and socioeconomic and environmental feasibility, reflect the values associated with the consequences of each water and land use integration categories, as water supply assessment and development, regional structures, and growth management. Once the integration categories and the criteria have been defined, weights and scores are assigned to derive overall values and ranking by a MCA, that includes a sensitivity analysis. Analysis and results The integrated consideration of water resources and land use subsystems with an ecosystem approach contributes to sustainable development and water sustainability, identifying key variables of the subsystems that have to be given prioritized attention in order to reach an effective integration, assuring these elements are not left out or would be given minor attention. With the large number of elements considered, a large number of combinations of potential management actions is possible, being fundamental the application of a multi criteria decision making tool. In the MCA model applied to prioritize the strategic components of water and land use integration categories for the case of the Metropolitan District of Quito, the scores obtained by valuing the expected performance of each integration component against the criteria, represent their level of relevance according to the corresponding scores. The results of ranking land and water integration categories for Quito are: 1) Water Supply Assessment/1580. 2) Water Supply Development/1547. 3) Regional Structures/1448. 4) Comprehensive Planning Efforts/1410. 5) Growth Management and Densification/1323. 6) Rate Structures/1319. 7) Education/1272. 8) Resource Use Efficiency/1021. The results of the sensitivity analysis carried out demonstrate that the structure of the model is sensitive even to minor variations of input values.
