An accurate understanding of noise perception is important for urban planning, noise management and public health. However, the visual and acoustic urban landscapes are intrinsically linked: the intricate interplay between what we see and hear shapes noise perception in the urban environment. To measure this complex and mixed effect, we conducted a mobility-based survey in Hong Kong with 800 participants, recording their noise exposure, noise perception and GPS trajectories. In addition, we acquired Google Street View images associated with each GPS trajectory point and extracted the urban visual environment from them. This study used a multi-sensory framework combined with XGBoost and Shapley additive interpretation (SHAP) models to construct an interpretable classification model for noise perception. Compared to relying solely on sound pressure levels, our model exhibited significant improvements in predicting noise perception, achieving a six-classification accuracy of approximately 0.75. Our findings revealed that the most influential factors affecting noise perception are the sound pressure levels and the proportion of buildings, plants, sky, and light intensity. Further, we discovered non-linear relationships between visual factors and noise perception: an excessive number of buildings exacerbated noise annoyance and stress levels and diminished objective noise perception at the same time. On the other hand, the presence of green plants mitigated the effect of noise on stress levels, but beyond a certain threshold, it led to worsened objective noise perception and noise annoyance instead. Our study provides insight into the objective and subjective perception of noise pressure, which contributes to advancing our understanding of complex and dynamic urban environments.
准确了解噪声感知对于城市规划、噪声管理和公众健康非常重要。然而,城市的视觉和听觉景观之间存在着内在联系:我们的所见所闻之间错综复杂的相互作用形成了对城市环境噪声的感知。为了测量这种复杂的混合效应,我们在香港进行了一项以流动性为基础的调查,有 800 人参加,记录了他们的噪声暴露、噪声感知和 GPS 轨迹。此外,我们还获取了与每个 GPS 轨迹点相关的谷歌街景图片,并从中提取了城市视觉环境。本研究采用多感官框架,结合 XGBoost 和 Shapley 加法解释(SHAP)模型,构建了一个可解释的噪声感知分类模型。与单纯依赖声压级相比,我们的模型在预测噪声感知方面有显著改善,六级分类准确率约为 0.75。我们的研究结果表明,影响噪声感知的最大因素是声压级以及建筑物、植物、天空和光照强度的比例。此外,我们还发现了视觉因素与噪声感知之间的非线性关系:过多的建筑物会加剧噪声烦恼和压力水平,同时降低客观噪声感知。另一方面,绿色植物的存在减轻了噪声对压力水平的影响,但超过一定临界值后,反而会导致客观噪声感和噪声烦扰度的恶化。我们的研究有助于深入了解人们对噪声压力的客观和主观感受,从而加深我们对复杂多变的城市环境的理解。

Existing accessibility measures mainly focus on the physical limitations of travel and ignore travelers' perceptions, behavior, and socio-economic differences. By integrating approaches in time geography and travel behavior, this study introduces a bottom-up inclusive accessibility concept that aggregates individual-level travel perceptions across socio-economic groups to evaluate their multimodal access to opportunities. We classify accessibility constraints into hard constraints (physical space-time limitations to travel) and soft constraints (perceptual factors influencing travel, such as safety perceptions, comfort, and willingness to travel). We categorize travelers into 12 mutually exclusive socio-economic groups from a mobility survey dataset of 477 travelers. We apply a support vector regressor-based ensemble algorithm to estimate network-level walking perception scores as soft constraints for each social group. We derive group-specific inclusive accessibility measures that consider space-time limitations from transit and sidewalk networks as hard constraints and minimize the group-specific soft constraint to a certain threshold. Finally, we demonstrate the effectiveness of group-specific inclusive accessibility by comparing it with the classic access measure. Our study provides scientific evidence on how people of varying socio-economic statuses perceive the same travel environment differently. We find that socio-economically disadvantaged communities experience higher mobility barriers and lower accessibility while walking and using transit in Columbus, OH. Our study demonstrates a transition from person- to place-based accessibility measures by sequentially quantifying mobility perceptions for individual travelers and aggregating them by social groups for a large geographic scale, making this approach suitable for equity-oriented need-specific transportation planning.
现有的可达性衡量标准主要关注旅行的物理限制,而忽视了旅行者的感知、行为和社会经济差异。通过整合时间地理学和旅行行为学的方法,本研究引入了一个自下而上的包容性无障碍概念,将不同社会经济群体的个人旅行感知汇总起来,以评估他们通过多种方式获得机会的情况。我们将可达性限制分为硬限制(旅行的物理时空限制)和软限制(影响旅行的感知因素,如安全感、舒适度和旅行意愿)。我们根据 477 名旅行者的流动性调查数据集将旅行者分为 12 个相互排斥的社会经济群体。我们采用基于支持向量回归器的集合算法来估算网络层面的步行感知分数,作为每个社会群体的软约束。我们得出了针对特定群体的包容性无障碍度量,将公交和人行道网络的时空限制视为硬约束,并将特定群体的软约束最小化到一定阈值。最后,我们通过与传统无障碍措施的比较,证明了特定群体包容性无障碍措施的有效性。我们的研究提供了科学证据,说明不同社会经济地位的人对相同出行环境的不同感知。我们发现,在俄亥俄州哥伦布市,社会经济条件较差的群体在步行和乘坐公交车时会遇到较高的行动障碍和较低的可达性。我们的研究展示了从以个人为基础的可达性测量方法到以地点为基础的可达性测量方法的转变,我们依次量化了单个旅行者的交通感知,并在大地理范围内按社会群体进行了汇总,从而使这种方法适用于以公平为导向、针对特定需求的交通规划。

The many human interactions within cities inevitably generate relations between different places, civic and political organisations, authorities, and eventually conflictual events. Among all conflicts occurring in urban environments, if some are isolated events, many are connected by strong dependencies that generate networks in space and time. The research presented in this paper introduces a graph-based approach whose objective is to track the intertwined relations and dependencies that are associated with registered conflicts. The approach is experimented with and implemented using a combination of a graph-based database and visual graphics that together provide a series of data query capabilities and analysis specifically adapted to the context of our study. An experimental application to a series of conflicts reported in local media from 1985 to 2007 in the urban area of Montréal in Canada is presented and discussed.
城市中的许多人际交往不可避免地会产生不同地方、公民和政治组织、当局之间的关系,并最终引发冲突事件。在城市环境中发生的所有冲突中,如果说有些是孤立的事件,那么许多冲突则是由强烈的依赖关系连接起来的,从而在空间和时间上形成网络。本文介绍的研究引入了一种基于图的方法,其目标是跟踪与已登记冲突相关的相互交织的关系和依赖性。该方法结合了基于图形的数据库和可视化图形,提供了一系列数据查询功能和分析功能,特别适合我们的研究。本文介绍并讨论了对 1985 年至 2007 年加拿大蒙特利尔市当地媒体报道的一系列冲突的实验应用。

Satisfying transport needs with low carbon emissions: Exploring individual, social, and built environmental factors 以低碳排放满足交通需求:探索个人、社会和建筑环境因素

The article studies the relationships between daily travel greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and self-rated satisfaction with transport needs. It also investigates the conditions that satisfy one's transport needs at emission levels compatible with internationally agreed reduction targets by 2030 to keep warming below 1.5 degrees. It uses a representative geo-questionnaire survey from Poznan, a functional urban area in Poland (ca 800 thousand inhabitants), with 550 study participants answering questions used in the study. Four built environmental (BE) and accessibility measures are calculated using geospatial methods and used as predictors of low/high emission levels, low/high need satisfaction levels, and their combinations (i.e., social-ecological quadrants), along with socio-demographic characteristics and transport-related resources, competences, and responsibilities. The relationship between transport need satisfaction and GHG emissions is positive but weak and non-linear. In line with previous studies on well-being and energy or carbon footprints, the relationship appears to saturate (i.e., need satisfaction most steeply increasing at low emission levels). The saturation point is at the emission level lower than the 2030 1.5-degree compatible target (∼300 kg CO2/year/person). A sizeable group (∼30 %) satisfies their transport needs at low emission levels (i.e., sufficiency condition). Exploratory spatial data analysis reveals that members of this group cluster in Poznan city center. All BE characteristics significantly and strongly influence the outcome variables, with central, densely populated, and walkable locations increasing the odds of having one's needs met at low emission levels. Retirees comprise about half of the sufficiency group, but there are also many workers. Specific transport needs that negatively impact the ability to meet one's needs at low emission levels, including multiple locations and doing errands on the way from or to work. The results support land use policies that reduce travel distances (i.e., densification, preventing sprawl, promoting walkable street designs) as they support low-carbon access to necessary activities for all social groups. Suburban residential locations, in turn, are associated with low need satisfaction and high emissions. The results also highlight that the ability to meet one's transport needs within the emission threshold is spatially and individually differentiated, with implications for climate policies in the mobility domain.
文章研究了每日出行温室气体(GHG)排放量与交通需求自评满意度之间的关系。文章还调查了满足个人交通需求的条件,这些条件的排放水平符合国际商定的到 2030 年将升温控制在 1.5 度以下的减排目标。该研究使用了波兰波兹南一个具有代表性的地理问卷调查,波兹南是波兰的一个城市功能区(约有 80 万居民),共有 550 名研究参与者回答了研究中使用的问题。使用地理空间方法计算了四种建筑环境(BE)和可达性措施,并将其作为低/高排放水平、低/高需求满意度水平及其组合(即社会-生态象限)的预测因子,以及社会人口特征和与交通相关的资源、能力和责任。交通需求满意度与温室气体排放之间的关系是正向的,但较弱且非线性。与以往关于幸福感和能源或碳足迹的研究一样,这种关系似乎趋于饱和(即在低排放水平下,需求满意度陡增)。饱和点位于低于 2030 年 1.5 度兼容目标的排放水平(∼300 千克二氧化碳/年/人)。相当大的群体(∼30%)在低排放水平(即充足条件)下满足其交通需求。探索性空间数据分析显示,该群体成员聚集在波兹南市中心。所有波兹南城市特征都会对结果变量产生重大而强烈的影响,中心、人口稠密和适宜步行的地点会增加在低排放水平下满足个人需求的几率。退休人员约占充足群体的一半,但也有许多工人。具体的交通需求会对在低排放水平下满足个人需求的能力产生负面影响,包括多个地点和在上下班途中跑腿。研究结果支持减少出行距离的土地利用政策(即密集化、防止无计划扩展、推广步行街设计),因为这些政策支持所有社会群体以低碳方式获得必要的活动。而郊区住宅区则与低需求满意度和高排放相关。研究结果还强调,在排放阈值内满足个人交通需求的能力在空间和个体上存在差异,这对交通领域的气候政策具有影响。

Under global warming, surface urban heat islands (SUHI) threaten human health and urban ecosystems. However, scant research focused on exploring the complex associations between urban form factors and SUHI at the county scale, compared with rich studies at the city scale. Therefore, this study simultaneously examined the nonlinear and spatial non-stationary association between SUHI and urban form factors (e.g., landscape structure, built environment, and industrial pattern) across 2321 Chinese counties. An explainable spatial machine learning method, combining the Geographically Weighted Regression, Random Forest, and Shapley Additive Explanation model, was employed to deal with nonlinearity, spatial non-stationary, and interpretability of modeling. The results indicate the remarkable spatial disparities in the relationship between urban form factors and SUHI. Landscape structure contributes the most in southern counties, while the built environment is more important in northeastern counties. The impact of building density and building height increases with the county size and becomes the main driver of urban heat in mega counties. Most urban form factors exhibit nonlinear impacts on SUHI. For example, urban contiguity significantly affects SUHI beyond a threshold of 0.93, while building density does so at 0.17. By comparison, the influence of shape complexity remains stable above a value of 7. Factors such as industrial density and diversity have a varied influence on SUHI between daytime and nighttime. The results of local explanations and nonlinear effects provide targeted regional mitigation strategies for urban heat.
在全球变暖的情况下,地表城市热岛(SUHI)威胁着人类健康和城市生态系统。然而,与城市尺度的丰富研究相比,很少有研究关注县级城市形态因素与 SUHI 之间的复杂关联。因此,本研究同时考察了中国 2321 个县的 SUHI 与城市形态因子(如景观结构、建筑环境和产业模式)之间的非线性和空间非平稳关联。研究采用了可解释的空间机器学习方法,结合地理加权回归、随机森林和 Shapley Additive Explanation 模型来处理非线性、空间非平稳性和建模的可解释性问题。结果表明,城市形态因素与 SUHI 之间的关系存在明显的空间差异。景观结构对南部县的影响最大,而建筑环境对东北部县的影响更大。建筑密度和建筑高度的影响随着县域面积的增加而增大,在特大型县域成为城市热量的主要驱动因素。大多数城市形态因素对 SUHI 都有非线性影响。例如,城市毗连度对 SUHI 的影响超过 0.93 的临界值,而建筑密度对 SUHI 的影响为 0.17。工业密度和多样性等因素在白天和夜间对 SUHI 的影响各不相同。局部解释和非线性效应的结果为城市热量提供了有针对性的区域缓解策略。

Built environment characteristics can greatly influence pedestrians' route choices with factors beyond distance, such as accessibility, convenience, safety, and aesthetics, playing crucial roles. Although current navigation apps, such as Google Maps and Waze, have successfully provided driving directions, their navigation services are insufficient and sometimes unrealistic for addressing pedestrians' needs, largely due to the lack of dedicated pedestrian networks and the associated navigation algorithms. To address the research gaps, this paper proposes a novel approach that integrates freely available geospatial data and computer vision technology to create a specialized inclusive network dataset for outdoor pedestrian navigation. Moreover, a pedestrian navigation algorithm is developed to generate more practical “shortest” and “alternative” paths by incorporating various sidewalk attributes. We applied the method to create a pedestrian navigation network in Las Vegas. SpaceNet's open imagery dataset was used to extract Las Vegas's road networks. A virtual audit process assessed the visual and operational properties of the sidewalk networks using Google street-level images, evaluating factors including sidewalk presence, widths, surface types and conditions, missing curb ramps, greenery, protection from weather conditions, and lighting. Google Earth's open elevation data were used to analyze road elevation profiles as meaningful 3D indicators of sidewalk accessibility for wheelchair users. Further, additional geometric properties of the network, including road curviness, proximity to road intersections, and directional changes, were detected and analyzed. A navigation experiment conducted with individuals having varying mobility abilities, including regular pedestrians, older adults, and wheelchair users demonstrated the effectiveness of the newly developed network and algorithm in meeting the diverse needs of pedestrians.
建筑环境特征在很大程度上会影响行人的路线选择,除距离因素外,诸如可达性、便利性、安全性和美观性等因素也起着至关重要的作用。尽管谷歌地图和 Waze 等当前的导航应用程序已经成功地提供了行车导航,但它们的导航服务不足以满足行人的需求,有时甚至是不切实际的,这主要是由于缺乏专门的行人网络和相关的导航算法。为弥补研究空白,本文提出了一种新方法,将免费提供的地理空间数据与计算机视觉技术相结合,为户外行人导航创建专门的包容性网络数据集。此外,本文还开发了一种行人导航算法,通过结合人行道的各种属性,生成更实用的 "最短 "和 "备选 "路径。我们应用该方法在拉斯维加斯创建了一个行人导航网络。SpaceNet 的开放图像数据集用于提取拉斯维加斯的道路网络。虚拟审核流程利用谷歌街景图像对人行道网络的视觉和运行属性进行评估,评估因素包括人行道的存在、宽度、表面类型和状况、缺失的路边坡道、绿化、免受天气条件影响以及照明。谷歌地球的开放式高程数据被用来分析道路高程剖面,作为轮椅使用者无障碍通行人行道的有意义的三维指标。此外,还检测和分析了网络的其他几何特性,包括道路弯曲度、与道路交叉口的距离和方向变化。通过对不同行动能力的个人(包括普通行人、老年人和轮椅使用者)进行导航实验,证明了新开发的网络和算法在满足行人不同需求方面的有效性。

Indoor navigation systems often rely on verbal, turn-based route instructions. These can, at times, be ambiguous at complex decision points with multiple paths intersecting under angles that are not well distinguished by the turn grammar used. Landmarks can be included into turn instructions to reduce this ambiguity. Here, we propose an approach to optimize landmark allocation to improve the clarity of route instructions. This study assumes that landmark locations are constrained to a pre-determined set of slots. We select a minimum-size subset of the set of all slots and allocate it with landmarks, such that the navigation ambiguity is resolved. Our methodology leverages computational geometric analysis, graph algorithms, and optimization formulations to strategically incorporate landmarks into indoor route instructions. We propose a method to optimize landmark allocation in indoor navigation guidance systems, improving the clarity of route instructions at complex decision points that are inadequately served by turn-based instructions alone.
室内导航系统通常依赖于口头的转弯路线指示。在复杂的决策点,多条路径在角度上相交,而所使用的转弯语法并不能很好地区分这些角度,因此这些指示有时会很模糊。可以在转弯指示中加入地标,以减少这种模糊性。在此,我们提出了一种优化地标分配的方法,以提高路线指示的清晰度。本研究假设地标位置受限于一组预先确定的插槽。我们从所有插槽集合中选择一个最小尺寸的子集,并为其分配地标,从而解决导航模糊问题。我们的方法利用计算几何分析、图算法和优化公式,战略性地将地标纳入室内路线指示中。我们提出了一种在室内导航引导系统中优化地标分配的方法,提高了复杂决策点路线指示的清晰度,而这些决策点仅仅依靠基于转弯的指示是不够的。

Research has underscored the role that social infrastructure - the places and spaces that help build and maintain social ties - plays in improving quality of life, lowering crime, and creating connection. Little work to date has shown how, across multiple urban environments, these parks, community centers, cafes, mosques, libraries, and other facilities correlate with bonding, bridging, and linking social capital. Our paper seeks to better understand the relationship between social infrastructure and bonding, bridging, and linking social capital along with inter-city differences in social facilities. We use Google map data from 25 urban centers in North America along with information from census-tract level Social Capital Index (SoCI) scores to map out these connections. We find that, controlling for other factors, social infrastructure positively correlates with bridging social capital - the weak or thin ties that build heterogeneous groups. As intended, many forms of social infrastructure help people engage with broader and more diverse networks, that is, provide a structure for connective democracy. Further, some cities' residents have extensive access to social infrastructure - such as those of Washington DC - while in others, such as Los Angeles, have far less. These findings bring with them policy recommendations for communities, NGOs, and decision makers alike.
研究强调了社会基础设施--有助于建立和维持社会联系的场所和空间--在提高生活质量、降低犯罪率和建立联系方面的作用。迄今为止,很少有研究表明,在多种城市环境中,这些公园、社区中心、咖啡馆、清真寺、图书馆和其他设施是如何与纽带、桥梁和联系社会资本相关联的。我们的论文旨在更好地理解社会基础设施与粘合、连接和联系社会资本之间的关系,以及城市间社会设施的差异。我们利用来自北美 25 个城市中心的谷歌地图数据以及人口普查区级社会资本指数(SoCI)得分信息来描绘这些联系。我们发现,在控制其他因素的情况下,社会基础设施与桥接性社会资本--建立异质群体的弱联系或薄联系--呈正相关。正如我们所预期的那样,许多形式的社会基础设施有助于人们与更广泛、更多样化的网络接触,也就是说,为连通性民主提供了一个结构。此外,一些城市的居民拥有广泛的社会基础设施,如华盛顿特区的居民,而在另一些城市,如洛杉矶,居民拥有的社会基础设施则少得多。这些发现为社区、非政府组织和决策者带来了政策建议。

In an era of increased climatic disasters, there is an urgent need to develop reliable frameworks and tools for evaluating and improving community resilience to climatic hazards at multiple geographical and temporal scales. Defining and quantifying resilience in the social domain is relatively subjective due to the intricate interplay of socioeconomic factors with disaster resilience. To broaden upon it, the choice of indicators and their subsequent ranking for the aggregation into an index is subjective in nature. This aggregation is not empirically validated and is prone to omit the nuances of localized resilience changes and causal factors affecting it, while leading to oversimplified conclusions. Meanwhile, there is a lack of scientifically and computationally rigorous, user-friendly tools that can support customized resilience assessment with consideration of local conditions. This study addresses these gaps through the power of CyberGIS with three objectives: 1) To develop an empirically validated disaster resilience model - Customizable Resilience Inference Measurement (RIM), designed for multi-scale community resilience assessment and influential socioeconomic factors identification; 2) To implement a Platform for Resilience Inference Measurement and Enhancement (PRIME) module in the CyberGISX platform backed by high-performance computing, enabling users to apply and customize RIM to compute and visualize disaster resilience; 3) To demonstrate the utility of PRIME through a representative study to understand the geographical disparities of county-level community resilience to natural hazards in the United States and identifying the driving factors of resilience in the social domain. Customizable RIM generates vulnerability, adaptability, and overall resilience scores derived from empirical parameters—hazard threat, damage, and recovery. Computationally intensive Machine Learning (ML) methods are employed to explain the intricate relationships between these scores and socioeconomic driving factors. PRIME provides a web-based notebook interface guiding users to select study areas, configure parameters, calculate and geo-visualize resilience scores, and interpret socioeconomic factors shaping resilience capacities. A representative study showcases the efficiency of the platform while explaining how the visual results obtained may be interpreted. The essence of this work lies in its comprehensive architecture that encapsulates the requisite data, analytical and geo-visualization functions, and ML models for resilience assessment. This setup provides a foundation for assessing resilience and strategizing enhancement interventions.
在气候灾害日益增多的时代,迫切需要开发可靠的框架和工具,以评估和提高社区在多种地理和时间尺度上抵御气候灾害的能力。由于社会经济因素与抗灾能力之间错综复杂的相互作用,社会领域抗灾能力的定义和量化相对主观。更进一步说,指标的选择和随后的排序以汇总成指数也是主观性的。这种汇总没有经过经验验证,容易忽略当地抗灾能力变化的细微差别以及影响抗灾能力的因果因素,从而得出过于简单的结论。同时,还缺乏科学和计算严谨、用户友好的工具来支持考虑当地条件的定制化复原力评估。本研究通过 CyberGIS 的强大功能来弥补这些不足,其目标有三个:1)开发一个经过经验验证的抗灾能力模型--可定制的抗灾能力推理测量(RIM),用于多尺度社区抗灾能力评估和有影响的社会经济因素识别;2)在 CyberGISX 平台中实施抗灾能力推理测量和增强平台(PRIME)模块,以高性能计算为支撑,使用户能够应用和定制 RIM,计算和可视化抗灾能力;3) 通过一项具有代表性的研究,展示 PRIME 的实用性,以了解美国县级社区抵御自然灾害能力的地理差异,并确定社会领域抵御能力的驱动因素。可定制的 RIM 可生成脆弱性、适应性和总体复原力分数,这些分数来自经验参数--灾害威胁、损害和恢复。计算密集型机器学习(ML)方法用于解释这些分数与社会经济驱动因素之间错综复杂的关系。PRIME 提供了一个基于网络的笔记本界面,指导用户选择研究区域、配置参数、计算复原力分数并将其地理可视化,以及解释影响复原力的社会经济因素。一项具有代表性的研究展示了该平台的效率,同时解释了如何解读所获得的可视化结果。这项工作的精髓在于其全面的架构,囊括了复原力评估所需的数据、分析和地理可视化功能以及 ML 模型。这种设置为评估复原力和制定增强干预措施的战略奠定了基础。

Urban densification is promoted for sustainable urban growth, yet it also generates concerns about negative health impacts on local citizens. Engaging local citizens in the co-design of densification projects is therefore crucial to address their needs and concerns. The use of immersive Virtual Reality (VR) technologies creates potential for advancing the participatory co-design of healthier urban spaces by allowing citizens to not only visualize but also experience the impacts of future designs or “what-if” scenarios. Theoretically grounded in an extended version of Sheppard's approach, which we call the Experiencing the Future Framework (EFF), we developed a study to create and evaluate an immersive VR application called CoHeSIVE. This application was designed to facilitate participatory co-design processes for healthy public spaces. CoHeSIVE, as the technological manifestation of our framework, was created through iterative workshops with end-user input. During the final workshop with 41 participants, both qualitative and quantitative data were collected, including user behavior and experiences with CoHeSIVE, especially regarding its experiential and interactive components. The vast majority of participants had positive experiences and recommended CoHeSIVE for participatory co-design processes. Participants felt confident in their design outcomes and found the user interface easy to use and effective for making and communicating design decisions. The most preferred design attributes were found to be many and clustered trees, several benches, large grass areas, high-rise buildings, more lampposts and the presence of a fountain, showing that the design outcomes were meaningful for the selected local context. Future enhancements of CoHeSIVE might include adding more design attributes, enhancing visual representations, adding multi-user capabilities, integrating generative AI and expanding CoHeSIVE's applicability to other contexts.
城市密集化是为了城市的可持续发展而提倡的,但它也引发了对当地市民健康负面影响的担忧。因此,让当地市民参与密集化项目的共同设计对于解决他们的需求和担忧至关重要。沉浸式虚拟现实(VR)技术的使用为推进参与式共同设计更健康的城市空间创造了潜力,它不仅能让市民直观地看到,还能让他们体验未来设计或 "假设 "情景的影响。我们以 Sheppard 方法的扩展版本(我们称之为 "体验未来框架"(EFF))为理论基础,开展了一项研究,以创建和评估名为 CoHeSIVE 的沉浸式 VR 应用程序。该应用旨在促进健康公共空间的参与式共同设计过程。CoHeSIVE 作为我们框架的技术表现形式,是通过与最终用户意见反馈的迭代研讨会创建的。在有 41 名参与者参加的最后一次研讨会上,我们收集了定性和定量数据,包括用户行为和使用 CoHeSIVE 的体验,特别是其体验和互动部分。绝大多数参与者都获得了积极的体验,并推荐CoHeSIVE用于参与式协同设计过程。参与者对自己的设计成果充满信心,认为用户界面易于使用,并能有效地做出和传达设计决策。参与者最喜欢的设计属性是树木多且密集、有多个长凳、有大片草地、有高层建筑、有更多灯柱和喷泉,这表明设计成果对所选的当地环境是有意义的。CoHeSIVE未来的改进可能包括增加更多的设计属性、增强可视化表达、增加多用户功能、整合生成式人工智能以及将CoHeSIVE扩展到其他环境中。
