Abstract
Most urban planning monitoring activities were designed to monitor implementation of aggregated sectors from different initiatives into practical and measurable indicators. Today, cities utilize spatial information in monitoring and evaluating urban planning implementation for not only national or local goals but also for the 2030 Agenda of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Modern cities adopt Participatory Geographic Information System (PGIS) initiative for their urban planning monitoring. Cities provide spatial information and online tools for citizens to participate. However, the selection of spatial information services for participants is made from producers’ perception and often disregards requirements from the regulation, functionalities, and broader user’s perception. By providing appropriate spatial information, the quality of participatory urban monitoring can be improved. This study presents a method for selecting appropriate spatial information for urban planning monitoring. It considers regulation, urban planning, and spatial science theories, as well as citizens’ requirements, to support participatory urban planning monitoring as a way to ensure the success of providing near real-time urban information to planners and decision-makers.
Highlights
The UN’s 2030 Agenda of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) features city and spatial information noticeably and explicitly [1,2]
This study found that Geospatial Information Act and Public Information Openness Act support the Spatial Planning Act in fulfilling the functional requirement of participatory urban planning monitoring
Cities have to prioritize a new approach in providing the new fundamental dataset in monitoring urban planning and its practice
Summary
The UN’s 2030 Agenda of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) features city and spatial information noticeably and explicitly [1,2] The localization of this agenda gives cities new targets that require a new approach in planning and practice. Planners and decision-makers are still accustomed to primarily using demographic and statistical projection data to forecast urban changes [3] These changes are mainly the result of land utilization by societies, in using their rights, restrictions, and responsibilities issues over specific land parcels [4]. These issues have been identified and discussed by experts and authorities in the domain of land management, involving land tenure, land use planning, land valuation, and land development [5,6,7]. By placing spatial information at the core monitoring system, land use change can be produced and shared by stakeholders to assess sustainable development
