3 UBC campus case study Why modeling UBC campus? The UBC campus shares many attributes of a small city The UBC campus shares many attributes of a small city 47000 daily transitory occupants 47000 daily transitory occupants 10000 full time residents 10000 full time residents own utilities providers own utilities providers Information accessibility Information accessibility Good starting point before modeling larger area, such as GVRD Good starting point before modeling larger area, such as GVRD

4 JIIRP-I2C team goals Analysis of interdependencies among critical infrastructures Analysis of interdependencies among critical infrastructures Develop methodologies of analysis Develop methodologies of analysis Concentrate UBC’s infrastructure information in a GIS Concentrate UBC’s infrastructure information in a GIS Analyze infrastructure interdependencies Analyze infrastructure interdependencies Contribute to evolve from a culture of reaction into a culture of preparedness Contribute to evolve from a culture of reaction into a culture of preparedness

5 Campus & Community Planning motivations to collaborate A fresh approach by academia to a problem barely identified by administration A fresh approach by academia to a problem barely identified by administration Build a bridge between academic and the practitioners’ units (C&CP and Lands and Buildings dept.) Build a bridge between academic and the practitioners’ units (C&CP and Lands and Buildings dept.) To strengthen resiliency of community to disaster To strengthen resiliency of community to disaster To build a model of a truly sustainable infrastructure for others to follow To build a model of a truly sustainable infrastructure for others to follow To root out the weak links and repair, replace or strengthen To root out the weak links and repair, replace or strengthen

12 Information Interdependencies analysis

13 Challenges faced by JIIRP group Information accessibility Information accessibility Where is it? Who owns it? Are they willing or allowed to share it? Where is it? Who owns it? Are they willing or allowed to share it? Information Redundancy & Standardization Information Redundancy & Standardization Partially overlapping versions of the same information Partially overlapping versions of the same information Definition of a common conceptualization (Ontology) for the project Definition of a common conceptualization (Ontology) for the project Critical knowledge is still mostly in the infrastructure managers’ heads Critical knowledge is still mostly in the infrastructure managers’ heads Human/organizational interdependencies tend to be minimized even though they are as important as the physical interdependencies Human/organizational interdependencies tend to be minimized even though they are as important as the physical interdependencies

14 Challenges faced by Campus & Community Planning 1. Discontinuity of the institutional memory 2. How does planning take a lead with departments who really own the problem? 3. Financing the fixes, from whose budget? 4. What are the challenges? We’re isolated from the City of Vancouver – we have to be self sufficient

15 Research interactions Successful Successful Trust among parties Trust among parties Fluid ongoing dialogue Fluid ongoing dialogue Time availability Time availability Preventive culture philosophy Preventive culture philosophy Readiness to cooperate Readiness to cooperate Eager to identify weaknesses to strengthen the system Eager to identify weaknesses to strengthen the system Efficient allocation of resources Efficient allocation of resources Unproductive Unproductive Not enough trust Conflicting cultural background Security issues Not perceived as mutual benefit relation Contrasting conceptualizations Reactive culture philosophy Fear to recognize/share weaknesses Conflicting cultural background

16 Keys of successful associations Develop a common Specification of a conceptualization (Ontology) for the problem Develop a common Specification of a conceptualization (Ontology) for the problem Develop trust among parties Develop trust among parties Share common general objectives Share common general objectives Create valuable outcomes for all parties Create valuable outcomes for all parties Strong commitment from all parties Strong commitment from all parties Perseverance Perseverance

17 Next phase – Selected Areas of GVRD Our challenge is to build the same collaborative relation… Our challenge is to build the same collaborative relation… Your thoughts? Your thoughts?
