Abstract

AbstractDrawing on a Community-Engaged Learning (CEL) class with the community of Jisr Azzarqa, this paper examines the engagement with technology in urban planning practice. The paper argues that a CEL that utilizes advanced and situated technology, that is, Technology Oriented CEL (TOCEL), advances reciprocity in collaborations with underserved communities by developing trustworthy relationships, mutual learning, and crossing social, cultural, and geographical boundaries. The conclusion suggests that TOCEL pedagogy educates planners to work inclusively, better engage with communities, and implement decolonized practices. Moreover, it is suggested that applications of diverse technology in traditional planning processes can advance diversity, equity, and inclusion.Keywords: Service learningTechnology-Oriented Community-Engaged Learning (TOCEL)urban planning practiceunderserved communitiescontested communities AcknowledgementsI would like to express my gratitude to the students and residents who participated in the TOCEL class over the years.

城市规划中以技术为导向的社区参与学习
摘要本文以Jisr Azzarqa社区的社区参与学习(community - engaged Learning, CEL)课程为背景,考察了城市规划实践中的技术参与。本文认为,利用先进和定位技术的社区合作,即技术导向的社区合作(TOCEL),通过发展值得信赖的关系、相互学习和跨越社会、文化和地理界限,促进了与服务不足社区合作的互惠性。结论表明,TOCEL教学法教育规划者包容地工作,更好地与社区接触,并实施非殖民化实践。此外,在传统的规划过程中应用多样化的技术可以促进多样性、公平性和包容性。关键词:服务学习,以技术为导向的社区参与学习(TOCEL)城市规划实践,服务不足的社区,有争议的社区感谢我想对多年来参加TOCEL课程的学生和居民表示感谢。这项工作既是他们的,也是我的。我对Rachel Kallus表示最深切的感谢,她的热情、包容和指导使这项工作成为可能。我也很感谢尼古拉·戴尔为支持这一努力所提供的持续指导和合作方式。最后,我要感谢三位匿名推荐人提供的宝贵和建设性的反馈。披露声明作者未报告潜在的利益冲突。注1最初,这门课是由作者和Rachel Kallus教授(Technion)在Nicola Dell教授(Cornell Tech)的支持和建议下发起的。本文借鉴了以色列理工学院前4年的TOCEL课程。自2020年底作者移居美国以来,该班级的一名前学生在作者的监督下授课。从2021年开始,Jisr项目得到了扩展,现在它是加州大学圣地亚哥分校、以色列理工学院、以色列Jisr Azzarqa社区和圣地亚哥Logan Heights社区之间的合作项目。它获得的新资金使其能够延续到2024-2025学年和学生交换。2 https://socialhub.technion.ac.il/en/about/.3以色列中央统计局(CBS)采用聚类分析对以色列的城市和地方议会进行分类。这种分类系统利用每个地理位置内人口的人口统计、社会和经济特征来生成一个指数,为该地区分配一个值。该指数通常在1到10之间,10代表最高值或分类级别。参见:https://www.cbs.gov.il/en/publications/Pages/2023/socio-2019-e.aspx.4参见:https://www.cbs.gov.il/he/publications/doclib/2021/local_authorities19_1835/560_0541.pdf;https://www.cbs.gov.il/he/mediarelease/pages/2019/%D7%A9%D7%9B%D7%A8-%D7%9E%D7%9E%D7%95%D7%A6%D7%A2-%D7%9C%D7%9E%D7%A9%D7%A8%D7%AA-%D7%A9%D7%9B%D7%99%D7%A8-%D7%99%D7%95%D7%A0%D7%99-2019.aspx.5许多居住在以色列的阿拉伯人更愿意被称为巴勒斯坦人,我完全支持他们的选择。然而,由于在Jisr,有些居民更喜欢被称为巴勒斯坦人,而另一些则不喜欢,为了更好地与国际读者沟通,我将所有居住在以色列的阿拉伯人/巴勒斯坦人称为以色列的阿拉伯社会https://www.facebook.com/JuhasGuesthouse.7 https://www.facebook.com/Beachub2021.8来源:Google Maps, 2023.9来源:作者生成特别是康奈尔理工大学的Nicola Dell教授。11见《西巴勒斯坦调查》,第35页:https://archive.org/details/surveyofwesternp02conduoft/page/35/mode/1up?view=theater.12也见https://www.haaretz.com/1.5132391.13https://il.usembassy.gov/education-culture/exchangescholarship-programs/middle-east-partnership-initiative-mepi/.Additional信息资助这项工作得到了社会中心以色列理工学院社区参与项目资助和雅各布斯理工学院-康奈尔研究所许多交流资助。贡献者说明:more Shilon more Shilon是加州大学圣地亚哥分校城市研究与规划系的博士后和讲师。她擅长于规划理论和方法、非代表性理论、社区规划以及技术和创新。她在学术期刊上发表的文章反映了她对城市规划、影响、社区参与和定性方法的兴趣。morshilon@gmail.com

期刊介绍: Planning Theory & Practice provides an international focus for the development of theory and practice in spatial planning and a forum to promote the policy dimensions of space and place. Published four times a year in conjunction with the Royal Town Planning Institute, London, it publishes original articles and review papers from both academics and practitioners with the aim of encouraging more effective, two-way communication between theory and practice. The Editors invite robustly researched papers which raise issues at the leading edge of planning theory and practice, and welcome papers on controversial subjects. Contributors in the early stages of their academic careers are encouraged, as are rejoinders to items previously published.
