Abstract
This chapter shows that Event Analysis of Systemic Teamwork (EAST) is based on an application within the area of land use planning and in urban design. EAST is a generic approach that was developed originally for the analysis of teamwork in sociotechnical systems, but it has since been used to provide analyses at the micro, meso and macro levels of sociotechnical systems. Applications of the framework have also adopted a composite network analysis approach whereby the three networks are integrated to show the relationships between tasks, social interactions and information. Examining the connectedness of different nodes within the network suggests that there are various critical pieces of information required, including locations, commercial functions, neighbourhood context, road hierarchy, residential functions, retail functions, pathways and travel times. Task, social and information networks were constructed to describe the key tasks, agents and information used during site analysis. The chapter also presents some closing thoughts on the key concepts discussed in this book.
