Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) are being developed at an unprecedented rate, but they are still not as widespread as the increasing conflictual situations may require. The objective of this communication is to propose a methodology to overcome barriers to larger uptake of ICT due to technical and organizational specificities. We developed a specific method, cross-referencing spatial information and analyzing innovation processes. It relies on a reflexive and analytical project perspective and a …
