Voices from the city
Understanding public sentiment toward public open spaces (POSs) is essential for sustainable urban planning, as these spaces support ecological, social, cultural, and recreational functions. However, despite the diversity of POSs, there has been limited research to systematically examine how public sentiment varies across different POS types. In addition to commercial and recreational features, environmental features such as greenery and waterfro…
Naming an industry as heritage
In industrial neighborhoods that survive into a city’s expansion phase, a weakened production base and a rising land market are present at the same time. Regeneration plans for such places increasingly name that base as local heritage and commit to retaining it, and evidence on what those commitments deliver, and to whom, remains limited. This study investigates an urban regeneration project in the Seongsu of Seoul, South Korea, which identified …

Winner takes all? factors shaping unequal selection in South Korea's urban regeneration projects
Urban regeneration grant programs aim to mitigate urban decline and promote balanced regional development. Competition-based grants often favor cities with stronger administrative capacity, robust fiscal conditions, or political alignment, thereby disadvantaging smaller or declining municipalities. This study empirically examines the factors influencing project selection in South Korea's Urban Regeneration New Deal initiative, analyzing 199 munic…

Exploring road safety through urban fabric characteristics and theory-driven prediction modeling with SEM-XGBoost
This study addresses the critical issue of road safety in urban environments, with a specific focus on the Greater London Area. Utilizing a novel, theory-driven approach, the study investigates the multifaceted impact of urban fabric factors on road safety, operationalized through a severity-weighted index of road accident frequency per capita. Through factorial analysis, six key factors (Urban Integration, Socioeconomic Challenges, Urban Ameniti…

Exploring the interactive effects of internal and external factors on residents' daily lives
The effect of digital lifestyle applications on non-work neighborhood-level mobility
The advancement of digital mobile applications has influenced individual behaviors in daily routines. In particular, daily lifestyle apps, such as those used for shopping and leisure, are altering neighborhood-level mobility patterns. These changes highlight the need to closely examine how digitalization is affecting short-distance travel within neighborhoods. This study investigates how the use of lifestyle mobile applications affects individual…
Quantifying perceived decline through deep learning predictions and analyzing association with objective measures
Urban versus rural disparities in amenity proximity and housing price
Due to the growing importance of accessibility to urban amenities on quality of life and neighborhood satisfaction in South Korea, various efforts have been made to improve accessibility to urban amenities by establishing a minimum standard, an approach called Living Social Overhead Capital (Living SOC); for example, one such standards states that an elementary school should be reachable within a 15-min walk. However, these endeavors have not yet…
Urban Gentri
As a global phenomenon, gentrification has far-reaching social and economic implications. As civic engagement and public understanding are crucial for responding to gentrification, employing a game-based approach could be effective due to the games’ ludic attributes. However, existing gamified interventions often lack structured game design and empirical assessment of their learning effectiveness. As such, this study aims to develop a serious gam…
Twenty years of research on shrinking cities
Most scholarly attention to vanishing cities is fairly recent so, to guide future research, a comprehensive evaluation of prior findings is required. This study is a network analysis of 333 publications authored in English, published over the last two decades. The findings are as follows: (1) shrinking city research has increased significantly since 2016; (2) the key themes are planning, decline, depopulation, policy, regeneration, vacant land, g…
Can the perceived risk of particulate matter change people's desires and behavior intentions
Particulate matter (PM) is a hazardous airborne pollutant that encompasses all airborne particles with diameters ranging from 0.001 to 100 μm. It is composed of total suspended particles (TSPs), consisting of two main particle sizes: PM10 and PM2.5. PM poses various threats to human health because of its rapid mobility and its ability to spread over a wide area. In particular, it has long-term negative effects on such organs as the lungs and hear…
The relationships between neighbourhood vacancy, probable PTSD, and health-related quality of life in flood-disaster-impacted communities
Excessive amounts of neighbourhood vacant land and abandoned structures can significantly lower community and outsider perceptions, and ultimately impact the mental health conditions of inhabitants. While depopulation, economic conditions and land use dynamics can all play a role in the amount of neighbourhood-scaled vacancies and structural abandonment, natural disaster events such as flooding can also exacerbate the ratio of vacant to non-vacan…

Spatial Association of Urban Form and Particulate Matter
Increasingly detrimental effects of fine particulate matter (PM) have been observed in Northeast Asia owing to its rapid economic development. Previous studies have found that dust, combustion, and chemical reactions are the major sources of PM; nevertheless, the spatial configuration of land use and land cover, which is of most interest to planners and landscape architects, also influences the PM levels. Here, we attempted to unveil the relation…
Can Hotel Companies’ Water Conservation Management and Waste Reduction Measures Influence Hotel Customers’ Willingness to Pay More and Intention to Revisit
This study investigated the effect of hotel water conservation management and waste reduction measures on customers' social and personal norms, willingness to pay more, and revisit intention, with cost consciousness as a moderating variable. A total of 311 valid samples were obtained by conducting a survey on customers who have used hotels for the past year. To perform the empirical analysis, SPSS 22.0 (IBM, New York, NY, USA) and AMOS 22.0 (IBM,…
Changing Trends in Long-Term Sentiments and Neighborhood Determinants in a Shrinking City
This research examined social media’s role in understanding perceptions about the spaces in which individuals interact, what planners can learn from social media data, and how to use social media to inform urban regeneration efforts. Using Twitter data from 2010 to 2018 recorded in one U.S. shrinking city, Detroit, Michigan, this paper longitudinally investigated topics that people discuss, their emotions, and neighborhood conditions associated w…
The uneven shrinking city
This research examines the uneven spatial-demographic distribution of population loss in one US “shrinking” city, Birmingham, Alabama, and analyzes the city’s planning role in and response to population loss. It examines the connections between Birmingham’s historic racial zoning law and urban renewal practices and the resulting patterns of depopulation and demographic change, and its present-day use of creative class planning – an approach criti…

How U.S. Shrinking Cities Plan for Change
This research examines the mismatch between the reality of a city’s population loss and the planning strategies they have adopted. Thirty-five depopulating U.S. cities’ comprehensive plans are analyzed to determine whether they are acknowledging past depopulation trends, how they are projecting future population changes, and what planning strategies they are pursuing in light of their depopulation trends. Findings illustrate a majority of cities …
