“…Summarising research results (see also Lynch and Banerjee, 1976;Travlou, 2003;Schwab and Standler, 2004;Travlou, Owens, Thompson, Maxwell, 2008, Matthews and Limb, 1999, Chawla, 2002, we can conclude that places that teenagers avoid, or which they fear, are associated as a rule with one or a combination of the following characteristics:…”

“…This appeal for a geography of children was apparently very effective, and it inspired a substantial corpus of studies carried out in the 2000's examining the place use and place behaviour of children (Horton, J., Kraftl, P. and Tucker, F., 2008). Yet in this mass of research work, only a few papers (Mäkinen and Tyrväinen , 2008;Travlou, 2004;Travlou, Owens, Thompson, Maxwell, 2008;Owens, 1994) dealt with the everyday local environments, spatial preferences and experiences of older teenagers. In our paper we will focus precisely on this age group.…”

Spatial planners, when creating plans to develop towns, often build into them their desires and visions, or the wishes and visions of their clients. In these processes, the interests of many groups in the local population remain neglected. Successful planning of community development presumes an understanding of place experiences and place use by different groups in the local community.Our study dealt with the daily environment of older teenagers -a group whose practices and needs are generally neglected in urban planning processes. The complexity of the research task required mixing quantitative and qualitative methods. The research was conducted among 2 nd , 3rd and 4 th formers in secondary schools in Karlovac. The questionnaire included structured and open-ended questions, about important landmarks, and frequently used, preferred and avoided places. After administering the questionnaire, we worked with two focus groups. The study investigated how teenagers perceive and value their city and express their need for better representation of young people in city decision-making.Key words: teenagers, city perception, microgeography, Karlovac Doživljavanje mjesta: Karlovac kao dnevni okoliš starijih karlovačkih tinejdžera U urbano planiranje nerijetko su uključeni stručnjaci koji sadržaje prostora oblikuju prema vlastitim ili vizijama i iskustvima svojih klijenata, a pritom su često zanemarene potrebe lokalne zajednice. Uspješno prostorno planiranje zahtijeva poznavanje iskustva različitih grupa u društvenoj zajednici, a pojava "bottom up " i "grassroots " strategija nagoviješta potrebu za ojačavanjem lokalne inicijative u procesu prostornog planiranja. Naše istraživanje koncentriralo se na starije tinejdžere, jer, uz djecu, predstavljaju posebno osjetljivu i zanemarenu društvenu skupinu. Istraživanje je provedeno među učenicima 2., 3. i 4. razreda srednjih škola u Karlovcu. Primijenjene su kvantitativne i kvalitativne metode. Upitnik je sadržavao strukturirana i otvorena pitanja o topologiji dnevnog okoliša ispitanika, omiljenim mjestima, mjestima koje izbjegavaju i promjenama koje bi u grad uveli. Rezultati upitnika su konkretizirani i testirani tokom rada s fokus grupama. Cilj istraživanja bio je otkriti kako tinejdžeri percipiraju grad u cjelini, kako vrednuju pojedine prostore grada, a rezultati su otkrili i potrebu za većom uključenosti mladih u planiranje gradskog prostora.

“…For example, Kim and Mary made drawings of Liseberg during the second interview, which they handed to me as a gift when I was leaving. Similar to other drawings, as observed by scholars in geography, these portray parts and details, making drawings into visual products that involve selection among different elements, which might be challenging to understand or interpret (Cele 2003;Travlou et al 2008 The second interview marked the end of research participation for the children and their families. Parents appreciated that I brought them collections of photos on a DVD from the visit.…”

Access to social data on human experience of place has never been more available than now. Social media, smart phones, and the Internet of Things provide glimpses into individual activity across the globe. The nearly-boundless stream of information is called "big data. " Today, physically and even socially disconnected individuals can benefit from the similar experiences of others to adapt and change their environment. I argue that big data provides two critical benefits for landscape architecture research and practice: (1) big data opens a window into previously inaccessible human experiences of designed environments, introducing new metrics for evidence-based design and new ways of improving design literacy; and (2) the design, planning, and management of the land-especially in cities-can benefit from scraping big data to support urban ecological design. My study of YouTube use in New Orleans shows that big data can advance landscape research to support positive, interdependent relationships between people and built environments. Landscape architecture would benefit by harnessing this resource to better understand relationships with place and encourage individuals to participate in the design, creation, and evolution of cities.
