The research will unfold in two distinct phases and Work Packages, with the flexibility to iterate as needed. The primary phase will focus on monitoring and mapping, while the subsequent phase aims to define a collection of typologies of temporary uses according to the variable conditions that influence the generation of value. This phase will also contribute to building a comprehensive catalogue and developing a corresponding website. To provide a background, an in-depth literature review on the subject is currently underway. At the same time, the research has initiated an examination of significant and innovative cases in Rotterdam, Delft, and Brussels, focusing on community placemaking in the building and neighbourhood. The study will entail a thorough exploration of both qualitative and quantitative shifts in the urban services and atmosphere of each place. For this purpose, the case analysis encompasses a study of temporary use experiences, examining both qualitative and quantitative effects over time and across various scales. NOMAD is presently in the process of establishing a monitoring framework with indicators to describe and map the values generated by temporary communities. Then, the data collection process is incorporating statistical and spatial data, project reports, and fieldwork involving interviews, surveys, and focus groups. Following this, subsequent steps will include analyses, mapping exercises, and multi-criteria evaluations of the collected data. These efforts aim to provide a comprehensive understanding of the researched phenomena from various perspectives. The monitoring framework is designed to establish a set of indicators that assess both quantitative and qualitative impacts. The qualitative investigation, focusing on subjective and intangible values, will entail activities such as interviews, focus groups, and the collection of subjective viewpoints. In the second phase of the research, diverse stakeholders will be invited to participate in inclusive co- design workshops for temporary uses. This approach aims to incorporate varied perspectives from different urban actors. As the research progresses, Social Multi-Criteria Evaluations will be applied to conduct a multi-dimensional impact assessment. This methodology allows for ongoing comparisons among cases, fostering the knowledge for the creation of an open and evolving common ground for decision-making related to temporary use. The availability and participation of partners concerning these elements will be crucial for the results. In fact, partners play a significant role in shaping the place narrative that illustrates impacts over time. This ongoing process of data collection and monitoring aim at being a dynamic knowledge-sharing and empowering tool for all actors involved. Interviews, workshop or focus groups and interviews can be tailored to each place needs. The final project's outputs will present impact assessment framework, insights from case study analyses, a multimedia map, a catalogue of temporary uses. These outputs aspire to encourage the activation of empty spaces for innovative and diverse temporary purposes. In this context, the project outputs do not merely aim to support processes to fill gaps or smoothen the city; rather, they strive to foster diversity and porosity. NOMAD want to serve as a reference for comprehending and navigating temporary use processes and their contradiction, centred around values, and considering the multitude of possibilities of inhabiting the city outside existing patterns.
