Coping with such networks of information and constraints presents an opportunity to advance development of planning support systems (PSS). The Plans and Regulations Information Tool (PaRIT) is a computing interface that enables spatial queries to identify and access plans and regulations. We illustrate the capabilities of PaRIT in applications to a light rail project in Maryland. Choices made in developing PaRIT demonstrate a feasible approach to accessing a network of plans and highlight opportunities for advances in PSS.","PeriodicalId":16793,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Planning Education and Research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2023-08-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43243831","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, many communities are unable to collect and use this data. This study evaluates how a Geodesign planning approach using qualitative, statistical, and spatial analysis empowered a data-scarce American Indian community to create a flood-resilient community-based land-use plan. Geodesign is a stakeholder-engaged planning approach integrating geospatial analysis, information technology, visualization, and design strategies for complex problem-solving. Results show that Geodesign enables data-scarce communities to combine local knowledge and scientific modeling, merge the strengths of each knowledge source, and support resilience and community-based land-use planning.","PeriodicalId":16793,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Planning Education and Research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2023-08-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44784137","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Fixed effect models were used to compare visit frequencies between treatment (within 0.5 mile of BRT stations) and control areas. Results showed that BRT increased business destination visits, especially among low-income and older populations. Further efforts are needed to investigate the full range of BRT benefits and strategies to promote transit-oriented development around BRT.","PeriodicalId":16793,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Planning Education and Research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2023-08-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48759493","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our results show that new-town commuters experienced lower levels of travel satisfaction, work-life balance, and subjective well-being. Meanwhile, our qualitative analysis of interview transcripts reveals that new-town residents endure longer commutes for various reasons but primarily to enjoy the better natural environment and living conditions available in suburban areas. However, the inadequate supply of public amenities and social and cultural venues in the suburbs can undermine well-being.","PeriodicalId":16793,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Planning Education and Research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2023-08-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45026632","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study employs statistical and geospatial analyses to explore how built environment factors explain changes in “pedestrian flows” and “stationary activities” on fifteen street segments in Shanghai, at a mesoscale. Detailed indicators were collected through field surveys, behavioral mappings, and counting. Changes in “pedestrian flows” are distinguished from those in “stationary activities”. Synergies reinforcing the latter emerged between small commerce, residential entrance gates, and buildings aligned to the street. Road widths show negative correlations with stationary activities, contradicting China’s modern street planning practice.
