| | The {{software}} streamlines the planning process by bringing the actual stakeholder roles from the real world into a multi user environment. Users can then select which role they want to represent, in order to experiment, plan and negotiate better solutions for spatial planning, urban designs and development projects. Users can choose to select the role they fulfill in real life, or to select any of the other available stakeholders to learn about the 'other side's' interests and concerns. |
|
| |
|
| ==What is a stakeholder?==
| | In the {{software}} each stakeholder perspective is defined by its [[indicators]], [[budget]] and available [[actions]]. For example, a Project Developer will prioritize its profit margin, while a Housing Corporation will focus on reaching its housing target and will be less (or not at all) focused on making any profit. Some stakeholders have a large budget but lack ([[ownership]] of) property to perform their actions on, others have the tools ([[actions]]) and property but lack the financial means to fulfill their objectives. By negotiating with each other, stakeholders are to search for any common grounds, in order to fulfill their individual and collective [[Indicators#Indicator targets|targets]]. |
| : A stakeholder is a person, group or organization that has interest or concern in a project or area.
| |
| : Stakeholders can affect or can be affected by the project's actions, objectives and policies. Some examples of key stakeholders are municipal and other authorities, companies, project developers, the water board and the community in an area. Not all stakeholders are equal; the municipality is usually in charge of livability in an area, which is often no concern for a project developer or waterboard.
| |
|
| |
|
| : An example of impact on stakeholders in an area is when a company needs to cut costs and plans a round of layoffs. This negatively affects the community of workers, the inhabitants in the area, and therefore the local economy. A project developer that plans a large commercial building may run into objections from the inhabitants as they are concerned about the lack of parking areas in their neighborhood. The municipality may require heat stress compensation in the plans, and the water board would like to see such a large concrete structure to better cope with excess rainfall to avoid any flooding.
| | ==Stakeholder Type== |
| | Predefined stakeholders are available in the {{software}}, however, not all of these stakeholders have to be present and not all have to be playable either. As described above, stakeholders can be present in the [[project area]] without actually being playable. |
|
| |
|
| ==How do stakeholders relate to the Tygron Engine?== | | The following predefined stakeholders are available for users to add to their project: |

|
| : The Tygron Engine streamlines the planning process by bringing the actual stakeholder roles from the real world into our multiplayer gaming environment. Users can then select which role they want to play, in order to experiment, plan and negotiate better solutions for spatial planning, urban designs and development projects. Users can select the role they fulfill in real life, or select any of the other available stakeholders to learn about the 'other side's' interests and concerns.
| | ==Active vs. Inactive== |
| : In the Tygron engine, the stakeholder’s interests and concerns are reflected in the [[indicators]]. With [[actions]] a stakeholder can affect the [[indicators]] and thus the game's outcome in a [[total score]].
| | The {{software}} has Active and Inactive stakeholders. |
|
| |
|
| ==Different stakeholders have different interests and concerns==
| | '''Active stakeholders''' are playable stakeholders with a large influence sphere in the issues discussed in the area. Examples of stakeholders who have a large influence are the municipality which can accept or decline permits and the project developer who can realize new apartments. |
|
| |
|
| : As mentioned above, different stakeholders have different interests ([[indicators]]) and concerns ([[importance]]). In the Tygron Engine each stakeholder is defined by it's [[indicators]], [[importance]] and available [[actions]]. A Project Developer will prioritize it's profit margin, while a Housing Corporation will focus on reaching it's housing target and will be less (or not at all) focused on making any profit. Some stakeholders have a large budget but lack ([[ownership]] of) property to perform their actions on, others have the tools ([[actions]]) and property but lack the financial means to fulfill their objectives. By negotiating with each other, stakeholders are to search for any common grounds, in order to fulfill their individual and collective [[Indicators#Indicator targets|targets]] of the game.
| | '''Inactive stakeholders''' also have their role. They can be non playable because their impact on the issues in the area is minimal, or they are only marginally involved/ concerned. |
|
| |
|
| ==Playable vs. Non playable== | | ===In editor=== |

| : '''Playable stakeholders''' are stakeholders with a large influence sphere in the issues discussed in the area. Examples of players who have a large influence are the municipality which can accept or decline permits and the project developer who can realize new apartments.
| | [[Category:Items]] |
| | |
| : '''Non playable stakeholders''' also have their role. They can be non playable because their impact on the issues in the area is minimal, or they are only marginally involved/ concerned. Inhabitants for example are often a non-playable stakeholder, since there's little they can do to really influence the issues (besides protesting and sending messages off course). Those non playable stakeholders can still be of value to the game. Those can be represented by a [[game facilitator]] during a [[game session]]. The facilitator can use those non playable stakeholders to send messages, in this way representing those parties and making their voice heard. The facilitator can also use those non playable stakeholders to send messages. If players are focusing too much on a certain subject and not addressing others they could be sent a message from the government for example.

| | |
| ==Which types of stakeholder are available in the Tygron Engine?==
| |
| | |
| : Predefined stakeholders are available in the Tygron Engine, however, not all of these stakeholders have to be present and not all have to be playable either.

The Tygron Platform streamlines the planning process by bringing the actual stakeholder roles from the real world into a multi user environment. Users can then select which role they want to represent, in order to experiment, plan and negotiate better solutions for spatial planning, urban designs and development projects. Users can choose to select the role they fulfill in real life, or to select any of the other available stakeholders to learn about the 'other side's' interests and concerns.
In the Tygron Platform each stakeholder perspective is defined by its indicators, budget and available actions. For example, a Project Developer will prioritize its profit margin, while a Housing Corporation will focus on reaching its housing target and will be less (or not at all) focused on making any profit. Some stakeholders have a large budget but lack (ownership of) property to perform their actions on, others have the tools (actions) and property but lack the financial means to fulfill their objectives. By negotiating with each other, stakeholders are to search for any common grounds, in order to fulfill their individual and collective targets.
Stakeholder Type
Predefined stakeholders are available in the Tygron Platform, however, not all of these stakeholders have to be present and not all have to be playable either. As described above, stakeholders can be present in the project area without actually being playable.
The following predefined stakeholders are available for users to add to their project:
| Stakeholder Type
|
Description
|
| Civilian
|
These are the inhabitants living in the project area. As individuals they have a limited impact and concern, however, to have a project carried from the bottom up, participation from the inhabitants is essential.
|
| Company
|
This private entity has a profit objective, and is also growing and expanding its market.
|
| Education

Educational organizations can have a huge impact on the project area, with, for example, a rising demand for Student Housing and the impact on livability.
|
| Expert
|
The expert role can be added as an advisor on possible developments with its own goals for the project case.
|
| Farmer
|
The farmer role will be implemented automatically when in the project area land is owned by one or more farmers. Mostly the land use will be important for this role, in order to be able to grow certain crops.
|
| Healthcare
|
Hospitals and clinics have a direct impact on their surroundings; they are usually big employers and have a huge demand for special supplies.
|
| Housing Corporation
|
Being responsible for enough housing units in the project area, the housing corporation plays a big role in spatial planning.
|
| Media
|
Media is a stakeholder who is responsible to report on the latest news about the developments. This is mostly an non playable role.
|
| Municipality
|
The municipality is the stakeholder with the main responsibility for zoning and approval of building permits. They are also in charge of the livability in the project area and management of the public spaces, including sewers and roads. The name of this stakeholder changes automatically corresponding to the municipality active in the area of the project area.
|
| Other
|
In addition to the default stakeholders above, any other stakeholder can be added. In case a specific unlisted stakeholder is required, this option can be customized.
|
| Other Authority
|
The role other authority is representing a public authority, a (federal) state and/or an other governmental body like for example a province. It is possible to add multiple other authority stakeholder roles.
|
| Project Developer

The Project Developer has to make profit by building commercial constructions, such as shops and industry.
|
| Utility Corporation
|
The utility corporation can construct a network structure for different kind of purposes like heat or electricity.
|
| Water Authority
|
The water authority is the stakeholder who is responsible for the water management in the project area.
|
Active vs. Inactive
The Tygron Platform has Active and Inactive stakeholders.
Active stakeholders are playable stakeholders with a large influence sphere in the issues discussed in the area. Examples of stakeholders who have a large influence are the municipality which can accept or decline permits and the project developer who can realize new apartments.
Inactive stakeholders also have their role. They can be non playable because their impact on the issues in the area is minimal, or they are only marginally involved/ concerned.
In editor
The ribbon bar with all active Stakeholders, the currently selected Stakeholder: "Amsterdam" (Municipality), and another occupied stakeholder "Company".
On the far right hand side, the ribbon bar displays all active Stakeholders for the current project. The currently selected stakeholder is displayed with a blue background. An occupied stakeholder (selected by another user) is indicated with a gray background. Available stakeholders are displayed with a white background. This stakeholder becomes available for selection again when a user switches to a different stakeholder, or logs out of the Tygron Platform.
The stakeholder buttons enable users to switch between stakeholders by selecting the corresponding button. You can only switch to a stakeholder that is active and not yet selected by another user.
The stakeholder buttons are always visible, independently of the tab currently selected in the ribbon header.
