This gallery in the ePLANETe provides for the development of a descriptive profile of a site or situation, anywhere in the world, from the point of view of debate, uncertainty or controversy about what to do. In some cases, there may be polarisation around a particular action or proposal, e.g., a controversial public policy or a business venture. In other cases, different factions of society might have widely divergent views about what should or might be done. The role of a 'Hot-Spot' profile is not to resolve the uncertainty or controversy, but to set the scene for subsequent steps of integrative analysis and deliberation. Two checklists are used for profile development. First, the well-known 7W’s typology — What, Where, When, Why, Who, for Whom, and How? — provides a frame to organise key elements of information around the question, “What is to be done?” Second, a typology of 6 dimensions of wealth and vulnerability — Subsistence, Environmental services, Commercial capacities, Social identity and status, Political agency, and Autonomous capacity — provides a frame to organize key elements of stakeholders’ perceptions about “What’s Our Problem?” and what’s at stake across different dimensions of well-being and sustainability. An ePLANETe User Community can choose to develop one or many 'Hot-Spot' profiles, for as many situations as are of interest to that community of users.
