Urban planning analysis: pre-design stage of the concept for the development of public spaces

The article examines the concept of public space. The main factors for achieving a comfortable public space have been identified. An algorithm for conducting urban planning analysis of public space has been formed. A study was conducted using the example of the Zakharyinsky Ponds park area, located in Moscow.

Современные инструменты развития общественных пространств и их роль в развитии туризма

Currently, public spaces are just beginning to be considered as an object of research in the field of regional economics. Public spaces increasingly determine the image of the urban environment, the comfort of living and the attractiveness of the territory for one-time visits. It is possible to increase the tourist attractiveness of the region by forming an attractive appearance of public spaces of the urban conglomeration. Little attention to the design of public spaces has led to the fact that many newly erected construction projects in Russian cities have a “faceless”, industrial image, unattractive in terms of both permanent residence and visits for tourist pur-poses. This approach is strategically not justified and does not meet modern requirements. The article studies modern approaches to the development of public spaces that correspond to the state of the external environment. The work revealed the place of public spaces in the develop-ment of the tourism industry in the Russian Federation. In the course of the study, it was proved that the design of public spaces can become a tool for the development of tourism and increasing the competitiveness of the territory in the tourism industry. The formation of public spaces makes it possible to solve the tasks set in the Strategy for the Development of Tourism of Russia: in-crease the competitiveness of a tourist product, develop cultural and educational space, business tourism, use an integrated approach to the development of tourism, etc. Such tools for the for-mation of public spaces have already been tested and successfully used: temporary architectural forms, geoplastics; gastro quarters; participatory design, digital means of sup-porting the ecosys-tem of public spaces.

Through this study, the hope is that the government, architects, and urban development stakeholders at local, national, and international levels can utilize this research as a valuable reference.

Features of the Economic Justification of Winning Projects of the All-Russian Competition for Creating a Comfortable Urban Environment in the Subjects of the Far Eastern Federal District

Every year, the Ministry of Construction of the Russian Federation holds a competition of small towns and historical settlements for the improvement of public spaces. In 2023, it was decided to separate the cities of the Far Eastern Federal District into an independent competition. In the cities of the country, the experience of participating in the submission of applications from city administrations has been accumulating for a long time. In 2023, the 8th All-Russian competition of small towns was held in the Russian Federation in parallel with the first and second competition of projects in the Far Eastern Federal District. Undoubtedly, for the Far Eastern Federal District and precisely for small settlements, this is perhaps the only opportunity to get large funds for the development of public space. Some of these settlements last received such a lot of money for landscaping during the Soviet Union. In the article, on the example of individual settlements of the Republic of Buryatia, the substantiation of approaches to the submission of competitive applications is carried out so that the applications become winning. The article is intended for specialists in urban economics, marketers, developers and will be useful in preparing bids for similar contests in the coming years.

A városszövet szukcesszió által formált zöldfelületei

The discipline of landscape architecture is witnessing a radical shift in approach. With the emergence of nature-based solutions in urban public space development, the extensive maintenance of green spaces has also come under the spotlight. The focus of this research is on the ways of establishing and expanding consciously created green spaces dominated by succession, also known as urban wilderness areas. The planning and management of these areas as a whole and of their components is still a complex task that raises many questions. In this article we define the concept of urban wilderness. In addition to the characterisation and interpretation of urban wilderness, we will also discuss its impact on the mental well-being of urban dwellers, i.e. its passive recreational aspects. The theoretical foundations explored are put into practice in a university workshop. The workshop, as an experimental laboratory, sought to answer the question of how theoretical research findings can be integrated into domestic, classical planning practice. As a result, four student concept designs were developed for a real site.

Community Participation and Role in the Management of Public Green Open Space (RTH) in Cihideung District, Tasikmalaya City, West Java Province

The purpose of this study is to describe and analyze the participation and role of the community in planning, implementing development, utilization, and monitoring of public green space. Data collection techniques through observation, interviews, and documentation. The results of the study show that (1) In planning Public Open Space, the participation and role of the community is relatively passive so it needs to be motivated by the Cihideung Sub-district through the District MUSRENBANG; (2) Implementation of the development and rearrangement of Public Open Space requires a commitment between the Environmental Service and the community; (3) The benefits of public green open space are tangible and intangible. Public green open space in the four sub-districts of the Cihideung subdistrict is used by the community in a variety of ways according to local wisdom; and 4) Not yet having standard rules regarding the supervision of Public Open Space, the community provides input on the importance of zoning regulations and their designations. The implication of the study is that the role of the community is very important to ensure success in managing green open spaces. Therefore, at every stage of green open space management, from preparation to utilization and monitoring of open space, community participation is absolutely required.

Evaluation of existing underground public space supply based on the Node-Place-Experience model

The development of underground public space is considered to be a major contributor to urban sustainability. However due to the lack of customized tools for identification and assessment the effective or ineffective supply of existing underground public space has yet to receive sufficient attention resulting in frequent problems such as its undersupply and underutilization of space. Therefore this study proposes three assessment frameworks for existing underground public spaces namely traffic supply (Node) land use and activity diversity (Place) and user experience (Experience) to judge the effectiveness of the supply in 13 cases in the main urban area of Chongqing by the degree of balance of the three dimensions, and to categorize the results of the evaluation through hierarchical clustering. The study confirms that except for Nanping the other cases suffer from under-provision especially in terms of transport provision such as the low connectivity of the existing underground public space to other urban spaces. Afterward we classified the evaluated cases into four clusters: “unsustainable place with potential to be balanced,” “developing balanced with promising potential to be balanced,” “developing balanced with potential to be balanced,” “developing balanced with lower potential to be balanced” and proposed corresponding optimization paths. Our method can be used as an effective tool to identify and measure the effectiveness of existing underground public space supply and to provide a database and decision support for the optimization of future renovation of the project.

Public space and its publicness in people-oriented urban regeneration: A case study of Shanghai

ABSTRACT The paper explores the role of public space development in helping Shanghai strive for an “excellent global city,” an ambition prescribed by the city’s latest master plan, through quality- and people-oriented urban regeneration. Drawing on qualitative data collected for two case studies, namely the Huangpu River waterfront public space connection project and the community public space micro-regeneration initiative, the research discusses the publicness of these publicly produced public spaces with an extended place-shaping continuum as analytical framework. The research finds that public space development in present-day Shanghai, essentially a state project shaped by specific local ambitions and forces, not only opens up physical space for citizens’ daily enjoyment but also materializes the people-oriented ideals through the design and delivery of public spaces and discursively supports the city’s visionary narratives of building an “excellent global city.” This reflects the multifacetedness of publicness and complex scenarios of publicization, re-publicization and de-publicization.

Evaluation and Optimization of Urban Public Space Accessibility for Residents’ Satisfaction: A Case Study of Nanshan District, Shenzhen City

In order to meet the people’s growing aspirations for a better life and to improve the efficient supply capacity of the citizens’ diversified needs, our government has made the optimization of the supply of public services in urban communities a key task in urban planning and construction and has taken the community living circle as a starting point to make up for the short boards of urban public services, which is of great practical significance in improving the quality of urban life and optimizing the spatial structure of the city. As an important carrier of urban residents’ public life, urban public open space plays an indispensable role in improving the quality of life of urban residents. Accessibility is an important indicator to characterize the publicity and service level of a public open space. This study focuses on the construction of the community living circle, optimizing the GIS-based, Gaussian, two-part mobile search method to quantitatively calculate and evaluate the accessibility of a public open space within a 500 m walking distance for the residents in Nanshan District, Shenzhen. On this basis, social survey methods, including the questionnaire survey method via a field survey and the interview method, were used to conduct field research on the residents’ accessibility satisfaction. Comparing the differences and correlations between the two results, the deep-seated reasons affecting the residents’ accessibility satisfaction are explored at the levels of the construction system, management services, and structural layout and spatial design of the public open space, and targeted guiding countermeasures are put forward to guide the development and construction of public open space in the future.

Stimulation of urbanization processes based on the development of the system of urban services and public spaces

In the article, the authors address issues related to the stimulation of urbanization processes based on the development of a system of urban services and public spaces. It is necessary to pay attention to the qualitative aspects of urbanization. In his Message to the People of Kazakhstan «Constructive public dialogue is the basis of stability and prosperity of Kazakhstan», President K. S. Tokayev noted the importance of urbanization in the country and sets the task of ensuring the management of this process. The main purpose of the study is to conduct a comprehensive analysis of strategies and best practices to stimulate urbanization through improving the quality and efficiency of urban services, and the development of public spaces as multifunctional objects that not only serve entertainment purposes, but also contribute to community cohesion, cultural expression and strengthening economic viability. In this study, the authors analyze historical and traditional methods of urbanization reflecting the socio-cultural, economic and environmental contexts of different epochs and regions in order to determine which methods can be used in modern realities to ensure growth, sustainability and improve the quality of life of their residents. The object of the study is urbanization as a process of growth and development of cities and the urban environment of the population. The subject of this study is the stimulation of urbanization processes. The tasks set by the researchers are to identify ways that can be successfully combined and adapted to the specific needs and aspirations of Kazakhstan in the field of urban development based on the study of the world experience in stimulating urbanization.

Tweets of Transformation: Investigating Tactical Urbanism and Social Interactions in Jeddah’s Colorful Corniche Initiative

This qualitative study aims to explore the applicability of Twitter as a valuable data source for research on public spaces, with a particular focus on public spaces within the context of Saudi Arabia. The study’s primary objective is to demonstrate Twitter’s efficiency in providing data that would otherwise require substantial time and resources using conventional research methods. Additionally, the study aims to highlight Twitter’s role in monitoring the progress and success of a local urban project. Furthermore, it examines how individuals utilize Twitter to share their experiences and interactions with public spaces, specifically examining content related to a local placemaking initiative in one of Saudi Arabia’s largest cities. To achieve this, a convenience sample of 113 consecutive tweets associated with the local initiative was collected from Twitter. The tweets were then subjected to a thorough thematic analysis framework, yielding three overarching themes: (1) Positive impact and community engagement; (2) Enhancement of the city’s visual landscape; and (3) Community collaboration through volunteer work. These categories provide a comprehensive framework to explore and comprehend the multifaceted dimensions of public space discourse on Twitter. The research presented in this study contributes significantly to the expanding body of knowledge concerning the utilization of social media data for urban research and offers valuable practical implications for planners, designers, and policymakers involved in the development and enhancement of public spaces.

Development of Public Spaces: the Impact of Metro Stations Construction on the Formation of the Structure of the Adjacent Territory

The article aims to study the development potential of local urban centers around the rapid transit system with due regard to the historical traditions of urban development and modern urban planning principles. To attain this end, the authors use a set of methods, including site analysis, data collection, classification, and project proposal development. The paper presents the tradition of forming a peripheral public space within the historical boundaries of the city. It is demonstrated that the current development of local public spaces based on peripheral rapid transit stations can be considered a continuation of this tradition at a new historical and technological stage. The authors select metro stations suitable for the formation of local urban centers. To determine the possibility of placing a public space in the vicinity of metro stations, calculations are made for territories included in forty-three metro zones of the peripheral part of the city and thirteen zones of the middle part of the city. Based on a group of indicators for the selected stations, the authors conduct an analysis and compile a table that characterizes the territories near each rapid transit station. As a result, the density and floor space index, passenger traffic per day, and the balance of the adjacent territory for each station were determined. There are draft projects for the development of territories, layouts, and visualizations of the proposed options for building open public spaces. The authors consider scenarios for the placement and transformation of public centers near metro stations. The study reveals how the construction of each metro station affects the adjacent territory. It is worth mentioning that new stations affect not only the lifestyle of citizens, with improved transport accessibility, the status of the territory increases, new centers of social activity, and new public spaces emerge.

Reimagining coastal public space: The case study of Da Nang city, Viet Nam

Public space has been at the core of urban studies with the meaning of control element in any city planning. The benefit is clearly indispensable for maintaining urban productivity, social cohesion and inclusion, civic identity and quality of life. However, in the context of competing market forces and commercial interests dominating cities’ planning agendas, planning for coastal public space tends to be for economic gain rather than supporting residents’ social needs. This article examines the physical condition of coastal public space, how it is used, and what economic role it plays in city planning regarding tourism development. A comparative analysis of different coastal recreation spaces in Da Nang, Viet Nam is used to create public space design concepts emphasizing the distribution of spatial structure and to different group users. This research defines a future vision of coastal public space development in line with striking a balance between economic needs and the complexities of public space distribution in emerging development cities. Findings can contribute to creating public space design concepts emphasizing the distribution of spatial structure to different group users.

MODEL FCM JAKO METODA ZARZĄDZANIA PRZESTRZENIĄ PUBLICZNĄ

The work presents the results of research that focus on creating high-quality public space through the involvement of society and taking into account the opinions of various stakeholder groups. The main goal is to understand how the concepts of "man-space-management" can be integrated in the process of creating high-quality public places in accordance with the principles of UN-Habitat. An important research aspect is the development of FCM (Fuzzy Cognitive Maps) models and various scenarios for the development of public space, which will enable the effective use of financial resources by the government, non-governmental organizations and private investors. The research is based on the opinions of the Zielona Góra community, which were collected through "placegame" workshops and questionnaires.

Zagospodarowanie przestrzeni osiedli mieszkaniowych w aspekcie możliwości wykorzystania przez seniorów na przykładzie Lubelskiej Spółdzielni Mieszkaniowej

Changes taking place in society in terms of age structure, needs and housing preferences mean that space requires constant modernization. A large proportion of elderly people in Poland live in housing estates built between 1960 and 1980. The majority of them do not want to leave them due to the location, transport connections, and also because living in a nursing home in Poland is the last resort. It is worth enabling seniors to stay in these places because their good condition requires maintaining independence. The adaptation of housing estates should include spaces that encourage physical activity to improve fitness or take preventive measures. The areas where the largest percentage of elderly people in Lublin live were selected for the study. The aim of the article is to determine the adaptation of housing estate areas to meet the recreational needs of seniors. The development of public spaces and greenery in housing estates, as well as the modernization processes that were carried out to make the areas more attractive to meet recreational needs, are presented. The standard of development of the studied estates is varied, but each of them has a strong advantage of greenery, allowing contact with nature, and places conducive to social contacts, enabling and encouraging activity.

The Influence of Spatial Functions on the Public Space System of Traditional Settlements

Public spaces are important places for various social functions and are also essential components of the cultural heritage of traditional settlements, which are suffering from blind function renewal and structural reconstruction during urbanization. It is essential to clarify the influence of spatial functions on spatial systems for the sustainable development of traditional settlements. Thus, based on the topology theory, we built a research framework for the relationship between public space functions and systems. Through field research, Pajek topological network analysis, and space syntax, we investigated the influence of spatial functions on the public space system of traditional settlements in terms of both structure and order. The research results of Zhang Guying Village demonstrate that (1) the public space of Zhang Guying Village has the structural characteristics of “axis-oriented and multi-core”; (2) the coordinated development of political, living, and traffic public spaces constitutes the formation logic of the public space system; (3) topological analysis of public spaces based on spatial functions helps in the optimization and functional reorganization of the public space system in traditional settlements. Hence, this study can provide understanding of the formation of the public space system and can also provide local administration adaptive reconfiguration strategies for the sustainable development of traditional settlements in the future.

Optimal Management Strategy for the Deviation of Urban Metro Public Space Development Tendency—Case Study Guangzhou City, China

Based on the existing literature and field observation, the research takes Guangzhou as representative city and its deviation in the development of urban metro public space represented as the research object. It is believed that the deviation is mainly manifested in six dimensions: variables of social demography, details of taking metro, daily stress perception of passengers, perception on humanized design level of metro, perception on integration and intelligent level of metro space, perception on characteristic design and humanistic design level of metro space, and their correlation will be verified through data collection and analysis. The results found that: 1) Stress perception of passengers will lead to a negative predictive effect on passengers’ perception on metro public space development trend. 2) Passengers’ perception on humanized design level of metro will have positive and active effect on their perception on metro public space development trend. 3) Characteristic design and humanistic design level of metro space will lead to a positive predictive effect on passengers’ perception on metro public space development trend. 4) In the process that humanized design level of metro affects passengers’ perception on metro public space development trend, characteristic design and humanistic design level of metro space play a mediating role. 5) Passengers’ stress perception have moderating effect in the process that humanized design level of metro indirectly affects the passengers’ perception on metro public space development trend.

Planning public green spaces within customary land tenure contexts: Reflections on the limits to collaborative planning in Tamale, Ghana

ABSTRACT Public green space management has received increased academic and policy interest globally as an urban sustainability strategy. Nonetheless, when planning public green spaces, technocratic planning approaches though important, are not sufficient for sustainable green space management. Thus, understanding the institutional context within which public green spaces are developed to promote collaborative green space governance is imperative. Based on a qualitative case study of Tamale, this paper unpacks the barriers that hinder collaborative action for public green space development. We argue that for public green spaces to be adequately provided and well managed in Tamale, specific collaboration success factors, including building trust, shared interest, capacity building and a comprehensive policy framework need to be created. Such an enabling environment is required to facilitate the development of principled engagement, shared motivation and institutional capacity for joint action. By conceptualizing the study within broader collaborative governance debates, the study contributes to contemporary urban management practice by providing a nuanced analysis of the barriers to collaborative green space planning in cities under intense urbanization pressure. Such knowledge is critical to unpacking the complexity associated with planning and managing public green spaces and sustainable cities in dual land administration regimes in sub-Saharan Africa contexts.

THE ABILITY TO CONTROL SPACE AND PROPERTY IN A MUNICIPALITY

The author's research is based on the need for control over the development of the public space of the municipality by its residents. The article is devoted to the study of the processes of formation of the public space of the city of Perm. The author shows that with today's approach to the processes of forming public space, a number of documents are mainly executed, but attention is not paid to the needs of city residents. Proposals have been formed for the development of urban public space and control over municipal property within the framework of the Strategy of Socio-economic Development o. In practice, the author presented a decision on the need to “digitize” municipal property, which was included in the draft Strategy for the socio-economic development of the municipality and in the plans (road maps) of subordinate institutions. The development of information systems, the growth of infrastructure services, an increase in the amount of processed and stored information in databases shows the need to increase the working capacity of service equipment and the volume of data storage systems, which in turn will lead to the need to determine a single method for assessing the result of using digital technologies, which in turn the queue will lead to the need to protect the results obtained f the city of Perm. It is presented in the analysis of materials characterizing the use of methods of analysis and systematization of theoretical fundamental research, applied developments and documentation. An analysis of the practice of project management and the specifics of the regulatory framework can make it possible to identify problematic points in the application of project management technologies at the municipal level: lack of synchronization of the processes of strategic socio-economic development, portfolio management and budget planning; lack of external expertise of the proposed results of government projects with justification of their effectiveness, sufficiency and necessity for local communities. The results of the study can be used in the development of public spaces of municipalities.
