“…Audits of youth spaces that are developed and used by adults primarily generate data on adult perspectives of youth environments (G. King et al, 2014). When youth settings are designed and evaluated this way, only adult opinions on the preferred functions and opportunities within an environment are realized (Arlinkasari & Cushing, 2018). Generally, adults analyze and make decisions based on their own knowledge and life experiences (Björklid, 2006).…”

“…Excluding youth from planning and design processes creates a potential disconnect between adolescents’ preferred affordances, qualities, and experiences and opportunities offered by the environment (Arlinkasari & Cushing, 2018). This can produce under-utilized environments that are ineffective in supporting youths’ goals and desires within their sociocultural contexts, negatively impacting youths’ ability to achieve healthy development (Arlinkasari & Cushing, 2018). Designing environments that are capable of supporting PYD requires not only an understanding of youths’ preferences and needs, but an actual integration and acceptance of the legitimacy of youth ideas and voices within planning and decision-making processes.…”

“…However, changes in social, historical, environmental, and technological contexts mean that the experiences of contemporary youth are vastly different from those of adults, making it difficult for adults to relate back to their own youth experience of the world (Becht et al, 2021). Excluding youth from planning and design processes creates a potential disconnect between adolescents’ preferred affordances, qualities, and experiences and opportunities offered by the environment (Arlinkasari & Cushing, 2018). This can produce under-utilized environments that are ineffective in supporting youths’ goals and desires within their sociocultural contexts, negatively impacting youths’ ability to achieve healthy development (Arlinkasari & Cushing, 2018).…”

This paper proposes a new conceptual approach to the development and utilization of youth-led environmental assessments to inform the planning of youth-enabling environments. Interdisciplinary research has established the influential effects of the physical environment on children and adolescents’ well-being and development, yet there is a gap in our understanding of how to create everyday environments for youth that speak to their needs and interests and provide opportunities for them to flourish. Engaging youth through participatory action research to both develop and conduct environmental assessments can have positive implications for youth empowerment and well-being while also altering research and planning practices to effectively integrate youth voice. The proposed approach integrates elements from affordance theory, the Capability Approach, and positive youth development within a youth participatory action research framework to create a process that encourages capability formation, fosters positive development, and improves our understanding of what constitutes a youth-enabling environment.

The concept of urban streets emerges as a fundamental thread, weaving through the fabric of neighborhoods and shaping daily routines. This research embarks on a journey to dissect the essence of approachable neighborhoods, delving into the intricate interplay between space and human needs within the urban landscape. By scrutinizing various cities, this study seeks to unravel the genesis of street-related issues, deciphering how the built environment influences daily activities and user perceptions. Drawing insights from a myriad of literature and case studies, the research delineates a multifaceted portrayal of neighborhoods, emphasizing parameters such as utility, safety, comfort, and allure. Ultimately, this thesis unveils the dynamic relationship between users and streets, advocating for the cultivation of user-friendly cities that cater to the diverse needs of their inhabitants.
