| Abstract: | ThinkLets from Collaboration Engineering are proven techniques to manage conflicts in groups working on complex problems. It is unknown if thinkLets can also manage conflicts in spatial activities. To bridge this gap, this study analyzes spatial activities from a City Deal case study. The researcher and practitioners together reconstruct past spatial activities and analyze them. This study uses secondary data to determine spatial activities, and confirms these findings in interviews with practitioners, who are involved in the city deals. Potentially suitable thinkLets for spatial activities are identified based on characteristics of the spa-tial activity, and presented and discussed with practitioners. From this data, it is concluded that existing thinkLet procedures are sufficiently generally described to be used in the spatial domain. Having a spatial element is irrelevant in matching activities to thinkLets. This does not mean that thinkLets can always be applied to spatial activities. Matching thinkLets to spatial activities follow the same rules as matching non-spatial activities. To streamline the matching of thinkLets, a tool is developed to filter quickly through thinkLets.
