“…Occupants only serve as a consumer in the commercial center and not as a producer. Shirotsuki et al (2010) suggested developing the concept of sense of place in public spaces so that residents also participate in proposed the policy for the residential area. In Figure 5 appears that there are 66% of respondents who were satisfied with the facilities provided at the commercial center, followed by 20% feel quite satisfied and only 14% were dissatisfied.…”

The aim of the research is to explore the process of shaping place in a planned residential area. The increased livable community will also improve the quality of life. The research is a descriptive explorative with the quantitative and qualitative approach. The exploration of place shaping formation in research sample based on four variables, namely: management strategies, public areas, and activity generators, planning strategies and design strategies. The results of this study found that the process of shaping place in formal housing requires the cooperation of developers, planners, property management and residents. The settlement which can maintain the identity, function, order and appearance of the built environment can improve the livable neighborhood. , UK.

Based on the trend of growth population in urban areas, predicted 65% of the world population would live in urban areas in 2025. For the first time in the history of human settlements, urban dwellers exceed the number of rural residents. The process of globalization and the city changes that occurred resulted from the shifts in the urban system at the local level, the spread of towns and socio-spatial construction changes included in the settlement area. The growth of urban population in developing countries such as Indonesia has happened as a result of urbanization. The symptoms of urban growth like this raise the question, how can the city's growth and development be sustained? How can the citizen continue to grow and fulfill the needs for food, homes, jobs and safety? The livable neighborhood will affect the quality of life. So, to create a high quality of life, we should make some efforts to establish a livable community.The efforts to create a livable neighborhood have a lot to do in the whole world. Stevens (2009) comparing the effort of healthy community design in America and the UK. In America, the feasibility of occupancy has long-term goals to improve environmental sustainability, by increasing the density, mix land use and improving the transportation system. While in the UK, the feasibility of the target occupancy focused on the management and development of space in the dwelling environment than planning a new built environment.The aim of the research is to explore the process of shaping place in a planned residential area. The exploration needs to be done to improve the livable neighborhoods. There are three parts of the paper. The first part describes the background, purpose of the study and literature review. The second part described research methods and the implementation of investigation's process. ...

“…Such methods encourage community participation and knowledge exchange which then play an important role in project planning, implementation and sustainability. Stakeholder-driven data acquisition with an emphasis on collaboration and the incorporation of local knowledge has been cited as a key feature to the success and sustainability of local planning and development projects (Jorgensen & Stedman, 2001; Kianicka et al, 2006;Vong et al, 2016;Wells et al, 2016;Shirotsuki et al, 2017).…”

“…PGIS approaches have the unique ability to convey a more inclusive picture of humanenvironmental interactions by representing knowledge of community members that may escape conventional scientific data collection techniques (Savitsky et al, 1999;Dragićević , 2004;Hasse & Milne, 2005;Talen & Shah, 2007;Aditya, 2010;Sutcliffe & Wilson, 2011;Coulton et al, 2013;Boschmann & Cubbon, 2014;Loureiro, 2014;Ricker & Hedley, 2014;Shirotsuki et al, 2017). The representation of local knowledge is important since many human geographers view "place" as a geographical entity with subjective meanings (McCall, 2004;Hawthorne et al, 2008;Hawthorne et al, 2015;Vong et al, 2016;Ghose & Welcenbach, 2018).…”

This community-based research aims to enhance local-level flood management by utilizing participatory GIS (PGIS) methods to capture the spatial dimensions of community member flooding concerns in Hopkins Village, Belize. We offer a mixed methodology, applying participatory sketch mapping as a way to collect local knowledge about community perceptions of flooding in this data-scarce context. We combine this local knowledge with quantitative geostatistical hot spot analysis of basic village infrastructure characteristics to reveal insights about community perceptions of and response to flood risk. The significance of this research lies in the application of PGIS methods to create two different primary data sets, which when analyzed together offer a more complete story about community understanding and needs for flood management. One set of data (more qualitative in nature) originated from sketch maps with community members and answers descriptive questions about how people spatially conceptualize hydro-meteorological hazards within their community. The other (more quantitative in nature) is the village's first publicly-accessible infrastructure data set (including information on building structures, roads, and drainage infrastructure) digitized by our research team from high-resolution drone imagery. Attributes for the infrastructure data set were developed in collaboration with community members to reflect their desires for data and information suited to conduct flood vulnerability assessment. Application of thematic coding and hot spot analysis to the data reveals concerns about hazards within their community and

“…The location of production and manufacturing should be based on the economic strategies plans and directions as to produce more job vacancies especially in the rural areas. Shirotsuki, M., et al, (2010) stated that "resource allocation has been one of the residents' biggest concerns; more precisely, they were concerned about allocation of financial". Hence, placement of sectors in the rural areas should be based on the potential of existing resources which may helps to revive the economic development in that area.…”
