A dataset of the 1 km-grid road network density in China (2019)

Road network density is a basic index of evaluating regional road development scale and road network development degree. The measurement and monitoring of road network density (as a comprehensive characterization index) plays an important role in the assessment of regional traffic and economic development, and provide reference for urban road management and control measures, which is of great significance to urban planning and municipal management. In this paper, based on the vector data of railway land, highway land, urban and village road land and rail transit in the Third National Land Survey, we extracted the road center line, using the km-grade network production software, to obtain a dataset of the 1km-grid road network density in China in 2019. Rigorous quality control and quality inspection measures throughout all stages of data processing have been implemented, including road surface vector extraction, road skeleton line extraction, and kilometer grid density calculation, to ensure the correctness, integrity and consistency of the data. This dataset can be used for the study on the preparation for the national territory development plan, the evaluation of plan implementation, the calculation of status factors for regional transportation development, and accessibility calculation.

Disaster recovery plan implementation evaluation model at the corporation

The application of information technology in addition to making internal business processes more effective and efficient, is also to improve customer service. This role is important for companies to maintain the sustainability of information systems as a strategic tool for competitive advantage so system availability is absolutely essential. Research related to the Disaster Recovery Plan (DRP) needs to be carried out to see the readiness of a corporation to build a backup system in different places and locations. By using the method of factor analysis and regression analysis to form an evaluation model, it will obtain an overview of what factors must be considered and what the current conditions are. The results of the study show that there are Core Technical DRP, Organizational Preparation, and Costing factors which are the main variables in supporting DRP readiness. The conclusion from this study, through these three new factors a mathematical model can be built as a reference for improving DRP implementation in corporations.

WITHDRAWN-Administrative Duplicate Publication: Mural Painting to Collect Sensitizing Data and Encourage Research Participation Among U.S. Latinos.

To describe a mural-based intervention that can be implemented in partnership with community members in Latino neighborhoods in order to improve awareness of barriers to recruitment/retention of U.S. Latinos in clinical research, while augmenting researchers' access to sensitizing concepts critical for rigorous study design. Background. Latinos in the United States suffer disproportionately from several chronic illnesses but are under-represented as researchers and participants in the National Institutes of Health-funded research. This lack of representation inhibits a nuanced awareness of the health needs of U.S. Latinos and hampers efforts to address a persistent lack of health equity among U.S. Latinos and other communities of color. Art-based interventions implemented in Latino communities are increasingly being recognized for their ability to bridge this gap and positively affect the quality and quantity of research partnerships between clinical researchers and U.S. Latinos. This article describes a mural-based intervention piloted in two predominantly Latino neighborhoods between 2016 and 2020. The design of this method was guided by community-partnered participatory research practices and involved an Assessment-Diagnosis-Planning-Implementation-Evaluation approach. Mural painting addressed many of the participation challenges often associated with under-representation of Latinos in academic research and allowed for sensitizing interviews with key community members surrounding topics of interest to the research team. Research methods that acknowledge traditional art forms, such as mural painting, create a space for building trust and spark interest in future research participation, while augmenting researchers' access to sensitizing concepts that may improve the cultural competence of future studies, projects, and interventions.

Spatial Planning Implementation Effectiveness: Review and Research Prospects

The question of how to implement spatial planning more effective is a fundamental but very difficult one and one that has been of great interest to both the academic and practical community. However, a comprehensive review of the conceptual models and methodological systems for evaluating spatial planning implementation, and the existing practical research results of various types of spatial planning implementation evaluation, are yet to be presented. The study systematically reviews the main research findings in the field of spatial planning implementation from four aspects: conceptual analysis, measurement methods, evaluation frameworks and evaluation methods. This study found three distinct evolutionary features of research in this field: (1) The evaluation concept changes from complete rationality to limited rationality; (2) research methodology changes from a simple closed system to a complex open system; (3) the research perspective shifts from the map to the main body of planning implementation behavior. It is suggested that an important part of future research lies in establishing a system for evaluating the effectiveness based on a single subject who is an actor in the planning implementation process. On this basis, the micro-influencing mechanisms of planning implementation effects will then be explored. Deepening the research to the individual level will help improve planning implementation’s effectiveness.

Using community surveys with participatory mapping to monitor comprehensive plan implementation

Comprehensive or general plans are long-range documents intended to guide future urban or regional land use, growth, and development. Structured and periodic monitoring and evaluation of plan implementation is important to identifying when plans should be revised or updated based on changed planning assumptions or conditions, but such monitoring is uncommon. In this study we present and illustrate a research-based method to evaluate general plan implementation for a case-study community located in central California. A community survey was combined with participatory mapping to assess continued public approval of key elements of the general plan: 1) residential growth, 2) community development needs, 3) preferred locations for development (spatial), 4) consistency of resident land use preferences with general plan categories (spatial), and 5) areas with the greatest potential for land use conflict (spatial). Over the five-year period following plan adoption, there was relatively little change in general resident preferences for residential growth or the perceived need for new types of urban development, with the exception of affordable housing; however, city approval of three large, mixed-use development projects, while nominally conforming to the plan, generated community conflict based on development scale and location. As a novel plan monitoring and evaluation method, a community survey combined with participatory mapping provides a means to assess consistency with plan assumptions, desired conditions, and goals and can proactively identify the potential for place-based conflicts among various interests to identify optimized community land use outcomes.

Architectural colour planning strategy and planning implementation evaluation of historical and cultural cities based on different urban zones in Xuzhou (China)

AbstractThis research examined the colour planning of the city of Xuzhou in Jiangsu Province, China to empirically study the colour planning of historical and cultural cities. Based on considerable investigations, we identified Xuzhou's main hue, which spans from yellowish grayish‐white to yellowish‐gray (XZ11 ~ XZ29). Moreover, we formulated special colour planning schemes according to the attributes of different urban zones. To verify a plan's implementation impact, we used the analytical hierarchy process to construct an evaluation index system for the execution of urban colour planning. The system includes five secondary and 14 tertiary indicators. We employed the Delphi method to evaluate the established index system and to ascertain the weight of each index. Fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method was also used. We assessed the implementation of Xuzhou's main colours in six zones. The results suggest that the impact of colour planning is quite different in various urban zones, and that the colour planning influence of historical blocks is better than that of other urban zones. However, the coordination between colour planning in some areas is not adequate. Based on the above analysis, we evaluate specific problems in the implementation effect of Xuzhou's urban colour planning, as reflected in the secondary evaluation index results, and discuss measures of urban colour harmony planning and design in Xuzhou. We propose a comprehensive planning strategy that can be combined with different scales of urban colour landscapes in the future, which could provide a new optimization direction for Xuzhou's urban colour planning.

Integrating conformance and performance for the evaluation of urban planning implementation from a goal-oriented perspective

Urban planning implementation evaluation (UPIE) is an important tool for the supervision and inspection of the outcomes, processes and effectiveness of planning implementation. Conformance-based evaluation refers to the exploration of the degree of coincidence between actual situations and planning contents. Decision-centred performance evaluation focuses on exploring the role and purpose of plans in the implementation process. Although consensus has been reached on conformance and decision-centred performance evaluation, goal-oriented performance evaluation needs further development. Therefore, the integrated theoretical framework of UPIE, which emphasizes social effectiveness, has been constructed with goal-oriented performance in mind. It is suggested that performance-based evaluation that focuses on social effectiveness reveals the gap between actual situations and planning goals and can be established by the degree of realization of planning goals. Meanwhile, it has put forward a service-capabilities-based evaluation methodology which relies on the spatial matching between service supply and user group demands. Taking the Urban Master Plan of Xi’an (2008–2020) as an example, the results of UPIE show that this blueprint needs further revisions and adjustments. Through a goal-oriented methodology, the integrated theoretical framework can attract more attention to social effectiveness.

Evaluation of Plan Implementation in the Fast-Growing Chinese Mega-City: A Case of a Polycentric System in Hangzhou Core Built-Up Area

Previous evaluations of plan implementation focused on whether the materiality construction was in accordance with the plan. Without proper data, it is difficult to confirm whether the planning goals have been achieved. In this study, two types of big data have been used—full sample built-environment data and mobile-positioning big data—to evaluate the results of the implementation of the polycentric system in master planning in the Hangzhou core built-up area. Using the full sample built-environment data, the evaluation of materiality construction will be more objective and accurate. Using the mobile-positioning big data, the evaluation of the planning goals can be realized; this was almost impossible in the past. However, two aspects are considered: whether daily public activities, such as employment and recreation, have been dispersed from the old city and subsequently re-gathered in multiple centers outside the old city, and whether the polycentric system aids in optimizing the spatial relationship between residence and public activity. The following conclusions were drawn. In terms of actual materiality construction, the results showed minimal discrepancy from the plan. Fifteen city-level public centers have been constructed at principal, secondary, and sub-secondary levels. However, the polycentric system failed to achieve the expected effects of the planning goals. First, the public centers contributed in the gathering of public activities; however, the level of gathering at the newly built-up public centers was considerably lower than that at traditional public centers. Second, the public centers failed to encourage people to visit the nearest blocks for daily public activities, mainly because of the path dependence on the traditional centers in the process of multi-centralization and over-rapid expansion of the city. Owing to this, residents did not have sufficient time to adjust to the spatial relationship between the residence and daily public activities.

Research on the Effectiveness and Operability of Urban and Rural Planning Implementation Evaluation Based on Ecological Environment

At present, the implementation evaluation of urban and rural planning has some problems, such as poor standardization, insufficient subjective cognition, and lack of methodology, which make it difficult to carry out effectively. This paper discusses how to improve the effectiveness and operability of the implementation evaluation of urban and rural planning from three aspects: the evaluation content system, the evaluation organization and method, and the result judgment. Based on the basic concepts of urban and rural planning management and urban ecological environment, this paper analyzes the existing problems of urban ecological environment and urban and rural planning management, as well as the relationship between planning management and urban ecological environment. On this basis, the connotation of eco-city was discussed, and the idea of implementing steps for building eco-city and countryside planning was put forward, so as to promote the development of eco-city and countryside planning and eco-city and countryside construction in China.

Construction and practice of a conservation plan implementation evaluation system for historic villages

ABSTRACTConservation planning plays an important role in the protection and development of historic villages. A conservation plan evaluation is helpful to discover problems that might exist in the work of village protection. Having a way to evaluate conservation plans will improve the conservation planning system. In this study, a theoretical conservation plan implementation evaluation system for historic villages is developed based on a review of the current situation of conservation plan implementation evaluations at home and abroad. This theoretical evaluation system includes three stages of the “planning program evaluation:”a conservation plan scheme evaluation, an implementation process evaluation and an implementation results evaluation. Three stages are suggested consisting of an evaluation index, evaluation process, and evaluation contents. Finally, the Tangwei historic village is used as a case study. Four aspects of the conservation plan implementation and its effects are evaluated using field research and a questionnaire. These include protection and utilization of ancient buildings, roadway repair, and landscape and sanitation facility improvements. Such an evaluation reflects the rationality and effectiveness of a conservation plan for historic villages from the perspective of implementation and promotes the effective protection of cultural heritage sites.

National cancer control plans: a global analysis.

There is increasing global recognition that national cancer plans are crucial to effectively address the cancer burden and to prioritise and coordinate programmes. We did a global analysis of available national cancer-related health plans using a standardised assessment questionnaire to assess their inclusion of elements that characterise an effective cancer plan and, thereby, improve understanding of the strengths and limitations of existing plans. The results show progress in the development of cancer plans, as well as in the inclusion of stakeholders in plan development, but little evidence of their implementation. Areas of continued unmet need include setting of realistic priorities, specification of programmes for cancer management, allocation of appropriate budgets, monitoring and evaluation of plan implementation, promotion of research, and strengthening of information systems. We found that countries with a non-communicable disease (NCD) plan but no national cancer control plan (NCCP) were less likely than countries with an NCCP and NCP plan or an NCCP only to have comprehensive, coherent, or consistent plans. As countries move towards universal health coverage, greater emphasis is needed on developing NCCPs that are evidence based, financed, and implemented to ensure translation into action.

Urban Expansion Pattern Analysis and Planning Implementation Evaluation Based on using Fully Convolution Neural Network to Extract Land Range

In recent years, due to the rapid development of China’s urban, it is significant for effective implementation of urban science development and planning that grasp the process of urban development, analyze the potential of subsequent development, and evaluate the matching degree of the development status and the planning. Thereinto, an effective way we exercise today is to evaluate urban expansion pattern analysis and planning implementation. According to research results of the urban land range extraction method based on the support vector machine (SVM) and fully convolution neural network (FCN) of the depth learning method for the night light image data, this paper describes an integration of remote sensing (RS) and geographic information system (GIS) and analyzes the urban expansion pattern of Beijing based on the computed results of landscape pattern indices. The results unveil that from 1990s to 2010s, Beijing took on a circle expansion mode on the ground the spatial agglomeration degree gradually increases and the expansion potential has spatial distinctions, which basically meets the requirements of the overall planning.

Conformance in land-use planning: The determinants of decision, conversion and transgression

Over recent decades, urban areas have expanded into agricultural areas. To contain outward spatial expansion and regulate urbanisation, policy-makers should continually review and evaluate their plans. Planners may use conformance-based approaches in which they examine the relationships between plans and physical outcomes.This paper analyses land-use changes and their links to seventeen municipal master plans approved during the 1990s in the Lisbon Metropolitan Area. We evaluated the conformity of land-use changes to municipal master plans and identified the major measurable factors conducive to land allocation, conforming changes, and nonconforming changes. We created three logistic-regression models to estimate the probabilities of plot development in three different land-use pathways: (i) intended for development within municipal plans (conversion decision path); (ii) subsequently converted in conformity with the plan (conforming conversion path); (iii) converted in disagreement with the plan which had assumed the land plot could not be developed (transgression path).Results show that previous urban dynamics and distances from Lisbon are the main drivers of all models. Transport networks affect policy decisions−as well as conforming and transgressive conversions. The political orientations of local governments significantly influence land-use evolution. Land-preservation policies and municipal decisions do not reduce transgression.This study is a contribution to the body of research literature regarding the evaluation of plan implementation. It is shown how regression models can be used to refine conformance-based analyses. More than simply quantifying nonconformity, its determinants are identified.

Urban Planning Implementation Evaluation: A Multilevel Fuzzy Comprehensive Evaluation Approach

Urban system is a dynamic complicated system involved with many uncertainties, thus always leading to an undesired situation that the city doesn't develop as the previously made urban plans. Urban planning implementation evaluation, which is devoted to urban planning implementation supervision and management, is an important and indispensible part of efficient, healthy and sustainable urban development. The prevailing urban planning implementation evaluation methods have been widely applied and yielded some achievement, but the existence of uncertainty definitely brings about some defects and difficulties in tradition methods. In this paper, a multilevel fuzzy comprehensive evaluation model is proposed to handle with the uncertainty and complexity in urban planning implementation evaluation. First, a multilayer comprehensive evaluation index system was established, including both conformance-based criteria and performance-based criteria. Concerning the uncertainty in the process of obtaining the dynamic criteria values, a modified analysis hierarchy process was introduced to determine the weights of criteria, fuzzy set theory was adopted to calculate the membership degrees of criteria, and different fuzzy operators were chosen to obtain the final evaluation result layer by layer. Finally, a case study was analyzed to illustrate and test the proposed approach. It is concluded that the methodology integrating analysis hierarchy process with fuzzy comprehensive evaluation is capable of dealing with the situation where criteria are complex and involved with uncertainties when evaluating urban planning implementation.

The actual impact of comprehensive land-use plans: Insights from high resolution observations

Like most EU and US planning systems, planning in Israel aims to promote certainty regarding future development by employing statutory land-use plans for stabilizing and binding the development of land use. In Israel, district planning from the 1980s onwards took place in the form of long-term land-use plans. However, in practice, Israeli planning witnessed a movement toward discretionary-oriented decision-making, providing for revisions of the land-use plans and subsequently diminishing its efficacy. A pending reform suggests eliminating district land-use plans and absorbing them into national and local plans. Concerning the debate on the future of the Israeli planning system, this research aims to assess the gap between certainty-oriented regulation and actual development, often occurring on a case-by-case basis. Our aim is to evaluate the actual performance of a district land-use plan, focusing particularly on aspects of land-use. Remote Sensing and GIS-based Plan Implementation Evaluation (PIE) analysis was used to test the impact of a comprehensive outline plan for Israel's Central District on the actual development of the built environment. The results show fundamental gaps between the original land-use assignments of the district plan and actual development. The limited effectiveness of regulatory land-use planning for complex, densely populated districts is then discussed in line with the certainty–flexibility dilemma in land-use planning and the structure of planning decision-making in Israel.
