Examining the relationship between socio-spatial attributes and everyday activities at the street edges of urban villages in Wuhan, China
Microenvironments
Exploring the use of restorative component scale to measure street restorative expectations
Street edge subdivision
There have been numerous attempts to identify what makes the ground floor interfaces of street edges engaging for pedestrians. Their subdivision has often been highlighted as important, predominantly, in line with functions along their length. However, the effect of subdivision on street edge engagement is yet to be empirically tested. We use mobile eye-tracking to systematically examine where and for how long pedestrians visually engage ground f…
An Explorative Study on the Identification and Evaluation of Restorative Streetscape Elements
The street is a type of important urban public space with multiple social values, one of which is the restorative potential. Based on the “beingaway,” “extent,” “fascination,” and “compatibility” constructs of restorative environments proposed by the Attention Recovery Theory, this study elaborated the significance of restorativeness provided by street environments to people living in high-density cities. It used the traditional restorativeness s…

An Exploratory and Reflective Process of Urban Spatial Morphology within Social Sustainability
This article outlines the significant role of ideologies and values that lie beneath the physicality of the city, in reforming urban spatial morphology within a framework of social sustainability. We focus on the urban morphology of Middle Eastern cities, which have evolved within the framework of Islamic tradition, to illuminate the relationship between the ideological and physical dimensions of spatial morphology in all urban contexts. We exami…
Revealing the Hidden Spatial Dimensions of Place Experience in Primary School-age Children
The everyday local environment of incidental spaces routinely encountered by \nchildren is an important contributor to their social development and general health and wellbeing. \nThere remains, however, a significant loss of connection between children and outdoor \nsettings and this is increasingly raised as an issue that may have long-term implications. It is now \nrecognised as important that the voices of children should play a pivotal role …
Restorative urban open space
The capacity of outdoor settings to benefit human well being is well established by research. Examples of restorative settings can be found throughout history and are still applied today in health-care facilities, as healing or restorative gardens for the sick, but their wider significance in the urban public realm remains insufficiently explored. A conceptual framework for restorative urban open space based on mosaics of linked and nested spaces…
The Nature of Landscape
Experiential Landscape Place
Research suggests that the experience of open spaces routinely encountered is important to human quality of life. However, in their design decision making, landscape architects may not give this the level of attention it deserves. A potential response is explored by drawing from elements of environmental psychology research, socially responsive approaches to urban planning and design, and spatial concepts developed by Christian Norberg-Schulz. A …
