Paper Abstract:	Decision making in the context of urban and regional planning requires communication among different stakeholders. This communication process has several barriers because of domain differences, the different nature and types of data, lack of integrated analysis tools, deficiencies in the interaction with data, and information overload. To overcome these difficulties, interactive visualizations are commonly used, and the introduction of User-Centered Design for the design of specialized interactive visualizations is an established approach to satisfy these needs. This paper presents the UCIV 4 Planning Approach to guide the design of interactive visualizations to support planning processes. This approach proposes a set of activities that help to collect relevant information about the stakeholders and their analysis tasks. Based on this information, we make suggestions of possible visualization and interaction techniques that can be applied in the design of interactive visualizations.
