Public authorities are required to organise new facilities to respond to changed user demands in terms of a public-owned school. The number of pupils attending the case study school will increase in the following years, as will the number of children attending a day nursery located on the present campus. In addition, the users of the campus have complained of building-related symptoms. This study aims to understand the municipal decision-making process in organising the school’s facilities, in particular, the factors used for decreasing uncertainty around a project.,This study is a case study undertaken through an action research approach. The researchers participated in the project planning meetings concerning the future activities to take place in the building.,Over a 13-month period, multiple stakeholders participated in the project planning meetings providing a deeper understanding of the space demands posed, current challenges and opportunities offered by the existing building. In addition, the alternative solutions generated were evaluated. The problem identification and information gathering periods lasted over nine months, which was far longer than predicted. Thus, generating alternative solutions and evaluation of the solutions also delayed. As the entire process was delayed substantially, the final decision on organising the facilities was not made during this research.,This research may be of practical value for a property owner and a project team for decision-making concerning changed facility demands.,This paper provides information about how public authorities are making decisions on facility organisation during conditions of uncertainty.

组织学校设施时的决策：参与式行动研究方法

公共机构必须组织新的设施，以应对公立学校方面不断变化的用户需求。在接下来的几年里，进入案例研究学校的学生人数将增加，就读目前校园内的托儿所的儿童数量也会增加。另外，校园的用户抱怨与建筑物有关的症状。这项研究旨在了解在组织学校设施方面的市政决策过程，尤其是用于减少项目不确定性的因素。本研究是通过行动研究方法进行的案例研究。研究人员参加了有关该建筑物未来活动的项目计划会议。在13个月的时间里，多个利益相关者参加了项目计划会议，以加深对现有建筑物带来的空间需求，当前挑战和机遇的了解。此外，还评估了生成的替代解决方案。问题识别和信息收集周期持续了超过9个月，比预期的要长得多。因此，生成替代解决方案和对解决方案的评估也被延迟。由于整个过程被大大推迟了，因此在本研究期间并未做出关于组织设施的最终决定。该研究对于财产所有者和项目团队进行有关改变的设施需求的决策具有实用价值。
