Citizen social science in spatial planning – potentials for resilience in a complex unpredictable world
No full textBook of proceedings: 35th AESOP Annual Congress Integrated planning in a world of turbulence, Łódź, 11-15th July, 2023This paper reflects on the potential of citizen science in spatial planning when facing complex issues. It presents a framework that builds upon existing typologies and methods of citizen science and how it can be conceptualised as an adaptive tool in spatial planning to ensure active participatory engagement in the face of uncertainty and promote evolutionary resilience. Planners struggle to integrate citizens in their quest for certainty and evidence based planning centred around technical expertise. Many studies have recently explored the plurality of citizen science and identified multiple benefits for policy making such as engagement of citizens, its possibility to be initiated by any societal actor, as well as information flow and comprehension between involved actors. This paper investigates the potential benefits of citizen science in spatial planning for the input of new dynamic and situational perspectives on complex issues.

Evaluating the accessibility of green networks: a case study on new cities in Seoul metropolitan area
No full textBook of proceedings: 35th AESOP Annual Congress Integrated planning in a world of turbulence, Łódź, 11-15th July, 2023Demand for urban green networks has increased and the accessibility have become major concerns, but related discussions have so far been restricted only to green spaces. Through a case study on second and third phase new cities in Seoul metropolitan area, this study suggests new indicators to evaluate the synergy between road and green networks in urban areas. Applying the suggested method on the new cities of Dongtan, Wirye, Wangsuk and Gyosan, this study demonstrates how the indicators explain the spatial structure of the green networks and verifies the structural characteristics of each new city. One of the main conclusions are that third phase new cities’ green networks have higher integration and lower control. Implications for the difference between cities and phases are further discussed.

Citizen’s motivation in neighbourhood planning in North West England
No full textplaNext-Next Generation Planning Vol. 13 (2023) Exploring Human Well-Being and Community DynamicsAlthough some researchers have addressed the question of what motivates citizens to become involved in lower tier planning in the UK, the phenomenon is not yet fully understood. A lack of hard data, combined with some mutually contradictory arguments in the field, makes for imperfect analysis, and this can potentially undermine the effectiveness of individual engagement in Neighbourhood Plans (NPs). This paper focuses on what motivates citizens to participate in the process of creating NPs in North West England, and explores past theories on individual motivation. This study achieved its research aims through extensive research of the relevant literature, combined with an empirical study of five neighbourhoods in North West England. The main conclusion drawn from the dissertation is that there are complex and multiple motivations of people participating in NPs, and these impetuses are affected by a range of political, environmental and socio-economic factors. This research offers opportunities to enhance the effectiveness of NPs for researchers and NP stakeholders alike.publishedVersio
Urban traffic status analysis and planning evaluation based on mobile big data: A case study of Jinghong city
Get PDFBook of proceedings: 35th AESOP Annual Congress Integrated planning in a world of turbulence, Łódź, 11-15th July, 2023Taking the central urban area of Jinghong city in Yunnan Province of China as an example, this paper mainly introduces the methods of traffic status analysis and evaluation of traffic planning scheme based on mobile big data. In the section of traffic status analysis, we analyse the OD features, job-housing spatial structure and the traffic performance of the city based on big data and Visum traffic current model. In the planning evaluation part, based on the traffic current situation, we use the method of scenario simulation to evaluate traffic planning scheme. Through traffic flow and saturation calculation in the Visum traffic planning model, we can see the traffic performance of different scenarios to advise the project team on future transportation development strategies.

Reframing regional economic resilience for cooperative region
Get PDFBook of proceedings: 35th AESOP Annual Congress Integrated planning in a world of turbulence, Łódź, 11-15th July, 2023The impact of socio-natural disasters and the process of coping with them vary across regions, primarily due to disparities in their socio-economic structures. This study aims to develop a regional economic resilience model capable of capturing the impact of different socio-natural disasters and the adaptive capacity of regional economies. We analyse regional economic resilience through two complementary dimensions: local residents and local firms. We employ both indicator-based static frameworks and sequence-based dynamic frameworks. By examining the cases of the 2007 financial crisis and the 2018 heat wave, we find that metropolitan cities and provinces in Korea share common characteristics of low resistance to shocks but exhibit rapid rebound. However, the level of adaptive resilience in the short and long term varies across regions. This study contribute to the policy-making process by providing an easily applicable economic resilience model that incorporates considerations of local adaptive resilience.

Integration of local agri-food systems in spatial planning: foodshed assessment through ecosystem services
Get PDFBook of proceedings: 35th AESOP Annual Congress Integrated planning in a world of turbulence, Łódź, 11-15th July, 2023Agri-food systems (AgrFS) has come to the agenda of spatial planning with the concerns of sustainability and resilience. One of the tools used to change cities/regions into self-sufficient settlements by developing local food systems is “The Foodshed Assessment (FsA)”. However, based on the neglect of ecological values in determining the foodshed boundaries, the “Ecosystem Services” (ESs) approach is proposed to fill this gap. Accordingly, it’s aimed to develop an assessment tool that will guide the handling of local AgrFS within spatial planning by integrating foodsheds with ESs approach. This study consists of four steps: (1) Conceptual approach based on secondary source literature research related to the “local AgrFS” and “foodshed”. (2) Definition of the FsA based on predicted ESs indicators for decision-making on local AgrFS. (3) Evaluation of existing national/regional/local-scale spatial planning tools affecting Istanbul, with a focus on foodsheds and ESs. (4) Cross-scale discussion of the integration of the FsA into the Istanbul planning system. This research will contribute to local AgrFS as a priority area in spatial decision making. The opportunities include creating win-win relationships between ESs achieving food resilience, food security, and regional/social/environmental resilience at different scales.

Multi-factors evaluation of the impact of the street-level on sexual crime occurrences using computer vision and big data: a case study of Manhattan
No full textBook of proceedings: 35th AESOP Annual Congress Integrated planning in a world of turbulence, Łódź, 11-15th July, 2023Manhattan, a central US hub for economics and entertainment, consistently battles high crime rates. Despite existing research examining correlations between overall crime, spatial and sociodemographic factors, or urban architecture's influence on specific crimes, there's a dearth of empirical studies integrating street-level urban features and sociodemographic contexts in sexual crime analysis. This study employs computer vision, machine learning, and big data to investigate associations between Manhattan's urban environment and street-level sex crimes. Two initial Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) models examine the distribution of these crimes from macro-urban and micro-environmental perspectives. A Geographically Weighted Regression (GWR) model further explores local sex crime correlations with different spatial-scale variables. The results suggest a model incorporating multi-dimensional microenvironmental characteristics more effectively explains the incidence of sexual crimes.

Research on the worker community governance transformation and residents’ sel -organization: a case study of pingdingshan city, China
Get PDFBook of proceedings: 35th AESOP Annual Congress Integrated planning in a world of turbulence, Łódź, 11-15th July, 2023In China, state-owned enterprises used to responsible for building workers' houses and providing public services such as education and medical treatment for their employees. However, in recent years, the governance of worker community has been transformed from “unitary management” (managed by the enterprise), to "multi-governance” (managed by the government, property company and residents’ organizations). State-owned enterprises are not responsible for community management anymore. Instead, residents’ self-organization is seen as an important governance force. This research takes a traditional coal resource-based city as an example, through methods of data review, field survey and semi-structured interview, analyzing the main types of residents' self-organization and the challenges during the autonomy process. Furthermore, this paper indicates that social capital and official supervision should be strengthen in autonomic practice.

Planning method of corridor network in multi-residential public space
Get PDFBook of proceedings: 35th AESOP Annual Congress Integrated planning in a world of turbulence, Łódź, 11-15th July, 2023In recent years, the planning concept of creating a pleasant environment for residential areas has been applied to improve the quality of new residential areas, but it has not improved the living environment of old residential areas, nor the fragmentation of public space in urban residential areas. Under this background, the research first analyzes characteristics of several public space of residential area, connected corridor network, build a distinctive and identification, is advantageous for the promotion of public space connected corridor network planning method, and probes into the public space connected corridor network application in the actual program. The planning method improves the continuity of the public space system in urban residential areas and provides a feasible method for design practitioners to practice in multiple fields.
