“…Existe un amplio rango de características que inciden en la calidad del EP y hacen que su evaluación sea un tema complejo (Herthog et al, 2018). Predominan, por ejemplo, las evaluaciones de calidad que utilizan métodos cualitativos sobre los cuantitativos (He et al, 2020); en este caso, los indicadores de cantidad y calidad de los EP se han empleado en el análisis de la calidad de vida, el bienestar, la habitabilidad, la sostenibilidad urbana y los servicios ecosistémicos.…”

Objetivo: Revisar y contrastar métodos cuantitativos de evaluación de la calidad del espacio público que pueden aportar al cumplimiento de los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible. Metodología: Se seleccionaron siete métodos de evaluación a partir de publicaciones disponibles en las bases de datos Scopus, SpringerLink, ScienceDirect, Latindex, Scielo y Redalyc basados en publicaciones realizadas entre 2000 y 2020; se incluyeron referencias significativas de años anteriores de acuerdo con las citas halladas en dichos documentos. Los métodos se contrastaron según dimensiones de calidad, criterios de ponderación y variables. Resultados: La evaluación de la calidad del espacio público mediante métodos cuantitativos contribuye al cumplimiento de los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible, porque utiliza metas concretas y medibles; el uso de datos cuantitativos facilita la realización de un diagnóstico técnico de la condición de sus elementos. Las variables se agruparon en dimensiones; la accesibilidad y el confort fueron las que tuvieron mayor relación con los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible. Los métodos consultados son costosos y complejos, necesitan un análisis de actividades y comportamientos de los usuarios. Sin métodos prácticos es difícil visibilizar las necesidades de infraestructura y satisfacer los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible en cuanto a espacio público de buena calidad. Conclusiones: Los métodos revisados incluyen una evaluación sin desagregación de la calidad de los elementos individuales que constituyen el espacio público; es un desafío diseñar instrumentos de evaluación para todo tipo de espacio público. La práctica tradicional es construir nuevos espacios o remodelar los existentes, sin considerar la financiación para el mantenimiento de todo el sistema en operación. Financiamiento: Universidad Nacional de Colombia.

“…MCDA allows decisionmakers to investigate complex problems with their qualitative and quantitative attributes by providing transparent and explicit assessment criteria to make informed decisions. It is a technique that has been widely deployed in different areas as a support and assessment tool for GIS-MCDA based studies (Zhang, Li and Fung, 2012), renewable energies (Estévez et al, 2021), sustainability (Cinelli, Coles and Kirwan, 2014), urban space quality (He et al, 2020), and urban planning (Langemeyer et al, 2016). While formulating this digital participation framework, we followed a weighted-sum model, namely the additive multi-attribute value model from the MCDA literature (Belton and Stewart, 2002), which follows the following four steps:…”

Data-driven urban design processes consist of iterative actions of many stakeholders, which require digital participatory approaches for collecting data from a high number of participants to make informed decisions. It is important to evaluate such processes to justify the necessary costs and efforts while continuously improving digital participation. Nevertheless, such evaluation remains a challenge due to the involvement of different stakeholders including participants, designers, and policymakers in decision-making processes, and the lack of a systematic method to generalize participation outputs that are mostly situated and context based. By addressing this challenge, this paper introduces a Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) based framework to measure the effectiveness and quality of digital participation systematically and quantitatively. To achieve such evaluation, we conducted a digital participation experiment and investigated such processes with the help of participants, designers, and policymakers from Singapore and Hamburg. By formulating this framework, we aim to reveal perspectives of different stakeholders towards digital participation and enable the evaluation and comparison of digital participation processes based on the introduced digital participation criteria.

“…Other studies extracted the quality criteria of accessibility, legibility, identity, flexibility, interactivity, etc. (He, Herthogs, Cinelli, Tomarchio, & Tunçer, 2020;Kozlova & Kozlov, 2018) from the four key elements -sociability, uses and activities, access and linkages, and comfort and image -used to evaluate the quality of open spaces and develop the concept of placemaking (Cilliers, Timmermans, Van den Goorbergh, & Slijkhuis, 2015;Deniz & Kılıçaslan, 2020;PPS, 2016).…”

Urban open spaces have frequently been a vital destination for people to connect with one another. The efficiency of urban open spaces depends on their social, health, environmental, and economic benefits. However, little attention has been given to the impact of the relationship between the spatial environment and social interactions on the quality of urban open spaces to be vibrant spaces responding to the change in users’ needs. This study examines the integration between placemaking and space syntax approaches where overlapping relationships between the social and spatial aspects are found. This study aims to extract a conceptual framework with specific stages that can be followed for evaluating “quality” in urban open spaces and then can enhance the weaknesses. Thus, it is to direct the designers’ attention to rediscovering social and recreational uses in these spaces according to people’s needs and spatial configurations. The De Lesseps Bay project in Port Said city, in Egypt, was firstly analyzed through a quantitative method using the space syntax tool “DepthmapX” to understand social decisions and behaviors based on the selected spatial indicators, and secondly through a qualitative method using face-to-face interviews and field observations checklists to understand users’ needs in the place using the Pareto principle and a scoring system. The findings revealed the quality indicators of the place as the most needed factors for users such as attractiveness, vitality, clustered and integrated activities, visual appeal, safety, people connectivity, and accessibility. The spatial relations directly affected the “access and image” and “comfort and image” attributes of the placemaking approach, as well as indirectly affected the “uses and activities” and “sociability” attributes. This paper suggests expanding the concept of “quality” to include the comprehensive principles of creating vibrant spaces to continue responding to the change in community needs and renewal of other things in an urban environment.
