Modeling citizens’ urban time-use using adaptive hypermedia surveys to obtain an urban planning, citizen-centric, methodological reinvention

Abstract

Traditional urban planning methodologies cannot solve today's planning challenges that cities pose. Citizens' needs have substantially changed the last decade while urban planning methods have remained the same since the 70s. A more citizen-centric urban planning is presented in this paper. To that end, and to effectively deal with citizens' larger data needed for the urban planning methodological reinvention, interdisciplinary work is supported with information and communication technologies. We conducted a survey of citizens on urban time-use (Marsal MLl and Ló pez MB (2014) Smart urban planning: Designing urban-land-use from urban time-use. Journal of Urban Technology 21(1): 39-54). The results on urban-time-use distribution were converted into urban-land-uses as pioneering methodology for the reinvention of urban planning methodologies. In order to get the highest voluntary participation from citizens to ensure a good representation of all ages and social groups, the survey Time & Society 0(0) 1-23 !

The adaptive hypermedia techniques we propose in this paper combine stereotype and featurebased models which we explore for the purpose to include them in the survey. The combination of stereotype and feature-based models has different advantages, among others: stereotype techniques avoid to initiate survey profiles from scratch and feature-based techniques allow a personalized questionnaire to be employed. Moreover, personalization, in combination with user profiles, allows prediction which is of great interest for this research due to its planning purposes.

Using Social Network Data to Improve Planning and Design of Smart Cities

“…The different urban fabrics, public spaces, facilities and services resulting from planning, should be the consequence of the sum of the experiences and priorities of citizens living in a city [29]. A new understanding of urban abilities and opportunities and a new way of working to maximize their potential emerge from all these experiences.…”

Addressing new challenges in smart urban planning using Information and Communication Technologies

“…This field of research is not without controversy between those who advocate participatory democracy from the bottom up and those who warn against authoritarian control-especially through sensing technologies. Both political readings enrich the current discourse on the smart city, which is undoubtedly increasingly being postulated as an effective model of sustainable urban development (Nesti & Graziano, 2020;Zandbergen & Uitermark, 2020) in the face of the inability of traditional urban planning methodologies to solve the current planning challenges posed by cities (Marsal-Llacuna & Fabregat-Gesa, 2016).…”

From lockdown to precise prevention: Adjusting epidemic-related spatial regulations from the perspectives of the 15-minute city and spatiotemporal planning

“…Spatial strategy is to improve the provision and accessibility of local facilities according to the demand ( Kamiya, 1999 ; Li et al, 2021 ). Temporal strategy is to coordinate facilities’ operating hours with individuals’ available time for activities ( Niedzielski et al, 2020 ; Marsal-Llacuna and Fabregat-Gesa, 2016 ). On the demand side, behavioural strategy is utilized to encourage people to change their behaviour in space and time in order to make better use of existing resources ( dos Reis et al, 2022 ; Jariyasunant et al, 2015 ).…”
