Contemporary landscape planning challenges require an increasingly diverse ensemble of voices, including regional stakeholders, physical scientists, social scientists, and technical experts, to provide insight into a landscape's past trends, current uses, and desired future (Steinitz, 2012). To impactfully integrate these disparate parties, stakeholder-driven research must include clear lines of communication, share data transparently, and slowly develop trust. Throughout this project, a variety of stakeholder outreach, engagement and retention strategies were used to gather and evaluate research findings. Of particular note are the means of visual communication and representation used to quickly and clearly align researcher and regional expert assumptions on the study area. With our research, we intend to determine a ranked set of compelling geodesign representations using stakeholder input, proper timing for delivery, and a metric for successful graphics. These representation approaches include researcher-generated geospatial maps, stakeholder-generated areas of impact, real-time cocreated GeoPlanner for ArcGIS maps, system-wide infographics, hand-rendered scenario narrative vignette graphics, scenario impact graphics, and site-specific solution graphics. To improve our process, this presentation provides a ranking of graphic strategies based on surveys.
