Abstract

With people-centered approaches gaining prominence in urban development, studying urban public spaces from the user's perspective has become crucial for effective urban design, planning, and policy-making. The rapid advancement of Machine Learning (ML) techniques has enhanced the ability to analyze and understand user data in urban public spaces, such as usage patterns, activities, and public opinions. However, limited efforts have been made on a structured understanding of urban public spaces from the user's perspective. These knowledge gaps have also hindered the full realization of ML's potential in describing and analyzing urban public spaces. After systematically reviewing 319 relevant papers, this study analyzes ten dimensions of the user's perspective on urban public spaces and identifies three unaddressed issues: (1) interpretation of user's perception, (2) overlooked user demographics, and (3) data acquisition. In addition, this review also examines the applications of ML to these dimensions and their potential to tackle the three issues, and highlights two main opportunities to integrate ML for more rigorous and data-driven public spaces studies: (1) combining Computer Vision and Natural Language Processing in public spaces quality measurement and (2) investing in high-quality user data.

了解用户对城市公共空间的看法:系统回顾与机器学习的机遇
随着以人为本的方法在城市发展中日益突出,从用户角度研究城市公共空间已成为有效城市设计、规划和政策制定的关键。机器学习(ML)技术的快速发展提高了分析和理解城市公共空间中用户数据的能力,如使用模式、活动和公众意见。然而,从用户角度出发对城市公共空间进行结构化理解的努力还很有限。这些知识空白也阻碍了充分发挥 ML 在描述和分析城市公共空间方面的潜力。在系统回顾了 319 篇相关论文后,本研究分析了用户视角下城市公共空间的十个维度,并指出了三个尚未解决的问题:(1) 对用户感知的解释,(2) 被忽视的用户人口统计,以及 (3) 数据获取。此外,本综述还研究了智能语言在这些维度上的应用及其解决这三个问题的潜力,并强调了将智能语言整合到更严谨和数据驱动的公共空间研究中的两个主要机会:(1) 在公共空间质量测量中结合计算机视觉和自然语言处理;(2) 投资于高质量的用户数据。

期刊介绍: Cities offers a comprehensive range of articles on all aspects of urban policy. It provides an international and interdisciplinary platform for the exchange of ideas and information between urban planners and policy makers from national and local government, non-government organizations, academia and consultancy. The primary aims of the journal are to analyse and assess past and present urban development and management as a reflection of effective, ineffective and non-existent planning policies; and the promotion of the implementation of appropriate urban policies in both the developed and the developing world.
