Abstract

Abstract This paper investigates how socio-spatial aspects of creativity, operationalized as the causal relations between the built environment and perceived creativity in university campuses’ public spaces, are currently applied in practice. Moreover, it discusses practitioners’ perceptions regarding research-generated evidence on socio-spatial aspects of creativity according to three effectiveness aspects: credibility, relevance, and applicability. The “research-generated evidence” is herein derived from data-driven knowledge generated by multi-disciplinary methodologies (e.g., self-reported perceptions, participatory tools, geospatial analysis, observations). Through a thematic analysis of interviews with practitioners involved in the (re)development of campuses public spaces of inner-city campuses and science parks in Amsterdam, Utrecht, and Groningen. We concluded that socio-spatial aspects of creativity concepts were addressed only at the decision-making level for Utrecht Science Park. Correspondingly, while presented evidence was considered by most practitioners as relevant for practice, perceptions of credibility and applicability vary according to institutional goals, practitioners’ habits in practice, and their involvement in projects’ roles and phases. The newfound interrelationships between the three effectiveness aspects highlighted (a) the institutional fragmentation issues in campuses and public spaces projects, (b) the research-practice gap related to such projects, which occur beyond the university campuses’ context, and (c) insights on the relationship between evidence generated through research-based data-driven knowledge and urban planning practice, policy, and governance related to knowledge environments. We concluded that if research-generated evidence on socio-spatial aspects of creativity is to be integrated into the evidence-based practice of campuses’ public spaces, an alignment between researchers, multiple actors involved, policy framing, and goal achievements are fundamental.

创造力的社会空间方面及其在大学校园公共空间规划和设计中的作用:从业者的视角
摘要本文研究了创造力的社会空间方面,作为大学校园公共空间中建筑环境和感知创造力之间的因果关系,目前是如何在实践中应用的。此外,它还根据三个有效性方面:可信度、相关性和适用性,讨论了从业者对研究产生的创造力社会空间方面证据的看法。“研究生成的证据”来源于多学科方法(如自我报告的感知、参与性工具、地理空间分析、观测)生成的数据驱动知识。通过对参与阿姆斯特丹、乌得勒支和格罗宁根市中心校园和科技园校园公共空间(再)开发的从业者的采访进行主题分析。我们得出的结论是,创造力概念的社会空间方面只在乌得勒支科技园的决策层得到了解决。相应地,虽然大多数从业者认为所提供的证据与实践相关,但对可信度和适用性的看法因机构目标、从业者的实践习惯以及他们对项目角色和阶段的参与程度而异。新发现的三个有效性方面之间的相互关系突出了(a)校园和公共空间项目中的制度碎片化问题,(b)与此类项目相关的研究实践差距,这些差距发生在大学校园之外,以及(c)深入了解通过基于研究的数据驱动知识产生的证据与知识环境相关的城市规划实践、政策和治理之间的关系。我们得出的结论是,如果研究产生的关于创造力的社会空间方面的证据要融入校园公共空间的循证实践,那么研究人员、多个参与者、政策制定和目标实现之间的一致性是至关重要的。
