13. 13"Territorial Intelligence, socio-ecological transition and resilience of the territories"
30-31 May 2013, Besançon (UFR SLHS, MSHE), Dijon (MSHD)
Modelling action : Phase 2
Modelling for users
Communication:
– With computer specialists (Catalyse software
development and maintenance)
– With Catalyse users
– A common language is essential in a context where the
actors who have to act together remain sectorized with
very different professional cultures
Teaching methods:
– Catalyse users training
– Conception of guides for optimal use of Catalyse method

14. 14"Territorial Intelligence, socio-ecological transition and resilience of the territories"
30-31 May 2013, Besançon (UFR SLHS, MSHE), Dijon (MSHD)
Modelling phase 2
Information system:
• More global vision
• Computing tools are not a purpose but just means
• Cooperative and collaborative aspects
• Closer to users : Project and survey
• Attention is focussed on business, uses and practices of
actors
• Who intervenes ? Roles
• How communicates ? Vocabulary
• What is the main objective of TICS ? Realize an
intelligence territorial project

Territorial intelligence Computing
A project is based on actors
partnership, which together define a
goal and realize collaboratively the
tasks necessary to achieve this goal,
by sharing resources.
A project is based on a shared
information system, which includes
indicators on the one hand and
information collected through surveys
A project is mainly composed
of:
• a set of surveys
• an objective
• a reference to a project
administrator
Modelling phase 2: an
example of vocabulary
Project definition
