SADIM(ET):
SADIMET has its roots in landscape architecture.
Survey
Assess (or Analyze)
Design
Implement
Maintain (or Manage)
Evaluate
Tweak
OBREDIM(ET):
Observe } or Survey
Boundaries/ limiting factors }
Resources } or Assess
Evaluate (or Examine) }
Design
Implement
Maintain (or Manage)
Evaluate
Tweak
OBREDIMET is adopted from industrial engineering. There are great similarities with SADIMET
Observe can be linked with Survey.
Boundaries, Resources and Evaluate can all be put together as Assess. I prefer Assess to Evaluate.
One assesses the information you’ve gathered and evaluates the implementation of the design. You see what works and what doesn’t.
The rest of the process, DIMET, is the same.
CEAP
Collect site information
Evaluate the information
Apply permaculture principles
Plan a schedule of implementation, maintenance, evaluation and tweaking
CEAP is a permaculture term. Again, it’s just a different way of saying the same thing.
Collect site information is the same as Survey.
Evaluate…see above.
‘Apply permaculture principles’ I actually like better than ‘Design’. It’s more precise.
Plan a schedule of implementation, maintenance, evaluation and tweaking is obviously just grouping the remaining four steps into one.
SWOC analysis
Strengths
Weaknesses
Opportunities
Constraints (or Challenges)
SWOC analysis is closely related to SWOT analysis, most commonly used in business. In fact, the first three letters are the same, while the last is Constraints instead of Threats.
SWOC analysis is what you can use in the ‘Assess’ part of SADIMET process.
