Chapters were selected from a double-blind review process by the conference's scientific committee. The chapters in the book cover developments and applications with big data and urban analytics, collaborative urban planning, applications of geodesign and innovations, and planning support science
Spatial mismatch for distinct socioeconomic groups in Xiamen, China
No full textStudies have found that spatial mismatch is a universal phenomenon, although both their substantive and methodological focus can differ substantially. In China, there is a growing body of literature on spatial mismatch, but few studies have measured the degree of spatial mismatch between local and migrant workers in different occupations. To fill this gap, this research investigates the spatial mismatch for different socioeconomic groups in Xiamen according to their "hukou" status and occupation. As one of the country’s first four special economic zones, Xiamen achieved housing marketization earlier than most other Chinese cities, attracting a large amount of capital and migrants, and shaping different spatial patterns of local workers and migrant workers. The findings show that blue-collar, pink-collar, and white-collar workers, who are further categorized as either locals or migrants, experience varying degrees of job accessibility and spatial mismatch. In addition, even though migrant workers experience less spatial mismatch, they still have disadvantages in terms of commuting time due to their travel mode. The results presented in this paper are helpful for understanding the spatial mismatch for various social groups and facilitating sustainable mobility and social equity.Li, Yongling; Geertman, Stan; Lin, Yanliu; Hooimeijer, Pieter; Xu, Wangtu; Huang, Jie.

Introduction to ‘planning support systems and smart cities’
Full text linkSince their emergence, digital information and communication technologies (ICTs) have been applied in many urban planning and management contexts. Not only do they have the capability for collecting, managing, analysing and storing information about cities more efficiently than ever before, but new technologies also present planners and managers with opportunities to draw on this information to improve city life
3D-sutras - a web based atlas of laser scanned Buddhist stone inscriptions in China
Full text linkAn important cultural heritage is located in the Chinese providence of Sichuan: about 1000 years ago, Buddhist stone inscriptions have been carved into rock – the Stone Sutras. Archiving the current state of the inscriptions, their transcription and translation into digital assets, their interpretation and provision to the public and scientific community are of a major interest to an interdisciplinary research team of art-historians, geodesists and geographic information scientists. This paper describes the innovative architecture of a Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI) which combines standardised geospatial OGC Web Services (OWS) with an existing XML document system providing art-historic and text-scientific information. Further a web-based interactive atlas system for analysis and multimedia presentation in 2D and 3D has been realized as a sustainable solution helping art-historians and text-scientists to examine Buddhist stone inscriptions in the future. Innovative aspects comprise in particular the adaptation of the data pre-processing to enable the portrayal of terrestrial laser scan (TLS) data of relevant sites by a Web 3D Service and furthermore the integration of standards across different domains, including GIS analysis functions relevant for historians and archaeologists through several Web Processing Services (WPS)
Elbe DSS: A Planning Support System for Strategic River Basin Planning
Full text linkThe German part of the Elbe River and its basin are characterized by multiple problems and objectives that call for strategic management based on an integrated approach. In August 2002, the region suffered a catastrophic flood with loss of lives and damage amounting to over 9 billion Euro. During the summer months, because of low flows, shipping along the river is problematic, which considerably reduces the economic transport capacity of the river. Several areas along the river act as a habitat for rare plant and animal species and have been designated as nature reserves. The output of diffuse and point sources of pollution in the river basin must be controlled in order to comply with standards of the EU Water Framework Directive (EU 2000)
Local Government Web-based Services for Neighbourhood Planning
No full textThis chapter looks at the use of a web-based PSS to support participation in the development of a neighbourhood plan in England, a new community led approach to planning. We outline the development of the toolkit, the capabilities and functions of the system and how it dealt with baseline analysis, participatory mapping and some of the monitoring and evaluation functions. The aim of our work was to assist in overcoming one of the great challenges facing communities wishing to develop their own plans and the difficulties they face in mobilising technical and planning expertise, in particular to meet the legal requirement to produce the evidence base for the neighbourhood. We report on the development and deployment of the toolkit and then discuss the lessons and what we see as future improvements. Many of the challenges around user engagement still persist today as they did 20 years ago when we first start this type of work
