“…While the WHO recommends that the cities should have a minimum of 9m 2 of public green space per capita, this area is only viable if the space is accessible (Fan et al, 2017;Thompson, 2002;Takano et al, 2002), safe (Francis et al, 2012;Frumkin, 2003) and with suitable activities and facilities (Villanueva et al, 2015;Singh et al, 2010). Unless these requirements are met, the suitable open space per capita will be compacted.…”

Public open spaces are essential for residents' social interactions and recreational activities, improving wellbeing as well as offering economic and environmental benefits. Saudi Arabia is aiming to enhance the quality of life in all its cities through different national programs and projects. One of the key performance indicators is increasing public open space per capita from 3.47 m 2 to 3.9 m 2 by 2020. This study measured the current public open space per inhabitant in Jeddah by using a geographic information system to identify the types of public open spaces that make up the per capita value in the city. Jeddah is located in a rapidly developing country, and it is a re-planned city where the current status of public open spaces falls short of users' expectations and does not meet international standards. This study suggests that the Ministry of Municipal and Rural Affairs and municipalities should adopt a systematic approach to tackling the spatial distribution of open spaces in Saudi cities.In addition, there is a need for the proactive involvement of planners, landscape architects and designers in the planning process.

“…The D1 indicator refers to the availability of recreational areas. These areas are connected to nature experiences [39,40] and provide a wide range of psychological and physical health benefits. Indicators D2 and D3 address landscape perception which is evolutionarily determined [41], as they are independent of cultural influences.…”

Are Spatial Planning Objectives Reflected in the Evolution of Urban Landscape Patterns? A Framework for the Evaluation of Spatial Planning Outcomes

et al. 2017

Abstract:The evaluation of spatial planning results, or outcomes, has been rather neglected by scholars and practitioners. The causes of this neglect are linked to the characteristics of the planning systems in use or difficulties in quantifying results. To advance the state of the art of outcome evaluation, this paper focuses on assessing the implementation of national spatial planning objectives in urban landscapes through the use of an evaluation framework, which makes use of spatially explicit information. The framework is built around four dimensions, which reflect the main domains of spatial planning: efficient built-up development, conservation of agricultural land, landscape preservation and human perception. Indicators that are capable of capturing landscape changes in both time and space are used to verify the degree of conformance between adopted objectives and actual development patterns. We make use of spatially explicit data, as well as assess whether and where landscape changes occurred, by integrating the framework into a multi-criteria analysis. In the present study, the framework is tested in two study areas located in Switzerland and Romania, while the results are interpreted from the perspective of spatial planning approaches in the two countries. The efficiency and utility of the framework are demonstrated by the ability to provide valuable information that facilitates improvement in the performance of planning processes, such as identifying where the implementation of objectives is less effective, and the domains of affected spatial planning. Our findings indicate that the distance between objectives and outcomes can be attributed to differences in countries' spatial planning approaches, which should also be placed into the wider economic, institutional and legislative context. Our study provides valuable insights for the integration of time series of spatial data into the evaluation procedure.Keywords: planning evaluation; conformance; urban landscape; spatial multi-criteria analysis; Romania; Switzerland The distance between intentions and outcomes is attributed to the planning strategies, along with the overall planning tradition, economic conditions and the legislative context.

“…The accessibility differences in urban public spaces will stratify the human economic, educational, and health conditions [33]. Therefore, the accessibility of a large number of urban public spaces needs to be further studied and improved [34], and the rapid development of time and space big data in recent years provides new research materials and methods for public space research [6]. Bike-sharing big data also provide a new foundation for examining public space accessibility [25][26][27]35,36] and can reflect the development potential of any public space [37][38][39].…”

Accessibility is an important factor in measuring the recreational development potential of Wuhan lakeside areas where people like bike-sharing services for leisure. By using bike-sharing big data, this paper visualizes the spatiotemporal distribution characteristics and depicts the free flows of OD (Original Points and Destination Points) points of the bike-sharing activities taking place within 4 km of 21 lakes in the Wuhan Third Ring Road on an important holiday. Based on these distribution laws, statistics and spatial measurement are used to measure and compare the theoretical accessibility and actual accessibility of these lakeside areas at different grid scales in order to estimate the recreational development potential and explore the causes and possible suggestions behind the recreational potential. Results show that Ziyang Lake, Shai Lake, and South Lake have great recreational potential in improving their accessibility, whereas the Hankou lake dense area has a saturated recreational development potential due to its high accessibility characteristics. The differences in the water environment, surrounding road traffic conditions, and construction situations in these lakes influence their accessibility. Some differences are also observed between the actual and theoretical accessibility of most of these lakes, and there is a long way to go for real improvement of their recreational development potential. To better exploit the recreational development potential, improving the accessibility of these lakes remains an important issue that needs to be addressed as soon as possible.
