However, uncontrolled motorisation and the convenience of shopping malls is reducing the streets’ importance to the everyday life of residents. This study aimed at unearthing the underlying relationships between residents’ attributes and the use of nearby shopping streets. The survey targeted residents in the vicinities of two shopping streets in Tokyo: Honcho-dori street in Adachi Ward and Pearl Centre in Suginami Ward. The results affirm the importance of local shopping streets to the lives of those living in their vicinities; this is evident in the prominence of residents’ daily visits to the local shopping streets. Nonetheless, usage is largely restricted to necessary activities of shopping, while optional activities such as strolling and social interactions are side-lined in daily life. Additionally, years lived in the locality, the value placed on social interactions, and respondent’s age are statistically significant in explaining residents’ frequency of meeting acquaintances along the street in both cases although inconveniences and the reasons for choosing alternative destinations were additional explanations in Pearl Centre. We conclude that by evaluating the uniqueness of individual shopping streets and the population dynamics of the surroundings, urban planners can spur positive change for local residents to ensure functional, safe, and comfortable streets while encouraging rather than undermining business.","PeriodicalId":378987,"journal":{"name":"Urban and Regional Planning Review","volume":"49 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126647238","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper focuses on the ‘Policy of Returning Walkways to the Public’ (PRWP), implemented in Bangkok, Thailand, which is a strict policy to control street vending businesses, a typical informal grassroots economy. We analyze the consequences of the policy, and clarify how a government should best address the issue. The PRWP was initiated in 2014, drastically reducing the Temporary Permitted Areas (TPAs) for street vending in Bangkok, and resulting in a huge decrease from 683 TPAs with 20,275 vendors to 205 TPAs with 6,069 vendors in 2018. The strict clearing of street food vendors (SFVs) from the main streets caused tri-polarization of SFV businesses as follows: (1) relocating to backstreets if businesses were small with low costs (majority); (2) moving to private areas if their business was good and high rent affordable; and (3) giving up the SFV business and changing jobs. However, SFVs that upgraded to permanent restaurants, shops, or stalls in shopping malls were a minority. Although the PRWP achieved smooth pedestrian traffic in Bangkok main streets, it has destroyed economic and living opportunities, especially among vulnerable groups (lower educated female workers from poor regions), and they have become more marginalized by relocating to backstreets. We can abstract the PRWP as a radical formalization of street vending in a modernizing society. This raises some questions: what are consequences of this policy on street vendors and their businesses? Thus, this study has three main objectives: (1) to clarify the PRWP framework and actual implementation; (2) to evaluate the impact of PRWP on the street vendors by analyzing characteristics of survivors of the policy and its impact by different implementation areas; and (3) to analyze the way the government should treat street vending from the viewpoint of inclusive development. It seeks to provide an overall understanding of the policy impact on SFVs, and to clarify the implications for creating more inclusive street management. As the majority of street vendors engage in food vending study SFVs.","PeriodicalId":378987,"journal":{"name":"Urban and Regional Planning Review","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130717316","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Street vendors are often considered as a cause of traffic congestion, decreased urban aesthetics, and as sidewalk occupations because of their location, physical appearance, and activity. This paper aims to examine the influence of their space utilization and explain the causes and effects of street vendors occupying public space on the sidewalk and roadside with a case study of Andi Pangeran Pettarani Street, Makassar. Their problem basically arises due to the absence of reference spatial products that specifically determine suitable locations for the activities of street vendors in urban areas. Space utilization, not based on location characteristics, leads to conflict, and is consequently regarded as an 'element out of place'. The results of this study revealed several interesting findings. The study found that street vendors occupied sidewalks and roadsides to form business facilities which is an alternative to conventional job creation and a source of livelihood to the urban poor. Despite this, urban authorities still consider street vendors activity as an illegal and unproductive activity. By revealing the cause of street vendors occupying public space, recommendations are obtained as inputs that can be considered with government support, for the arrangement of street vendors with respect to their physical condition and location. In general, this study presents a strategy for creating a better space where street vendors can work without disturbing the surrounding space.","PeriodicalId":378987,"journal":{"name":"Urban and Regional Planning Review","volume":"37 6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124844575","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Nevertheless, traffic collisions involving pedestrians using smartphones have become a noteworthy social problem. In recent years, augmented reality (AR) technology has been developed. Applications using AR have increased. Accordingly, a new use pattern of smartphones to portray real space surrounding the device has arisen: The use differs from traditional walking while looking at one hand held smartphone. This study specifically examines distraction during walking while using a smartphone, especially when using AR. To examine the changes of movement of the pedestrian’s point of visual focus and those changes’ effects on spatial recognition, we conducted walking experiments using an eye mark recorder. We examined whether users noticed the check objects addressed in this study. The walking patterns included walking while web browsing, while using the AR applications of two kinds ( Point View , Map Fan AR Global ), and while not using a smartphone. Actually, the uses of AR in smartphones are diverse. The technology is used for various applications such as games, navigation, and photography. Among them, two AR applications described above were selected in this study because we specifically examined \"situations in which the AR technology is used for pedestrian navigation,” which are often used while walking. ( Point View displays information about a place (name, address, etc.) on the smartphone screen when it is held in the direction of a building or other object. Map Fan AR Global displays information about the destination direction on the smartphone screen it is held along a road or other landmark.). First, we analyzed movements of participants’ point of visual focus, which revealed that those who were walking while using smartphones viewed surroundings for only 20%–40% of the walking duration. Moreover, the share of duration gazing around while walking using an AR was higher than that for Web browsing . Additionally, with regard to the range of the visual field in the lateral direction, we demonstrated that the Point View is about 90%, Map Fan AR Global is 80%, and Web browsing is only 70% of the figures found for Not using . Examining characteristics of walking by AR to assess the effects on spatial recognition revealed a high rate of those who noticed a “standing pedestrian” ahead, but no significant difference was found. However, the rate of those who noticed other objects, especially a signboard set on the roadside, was low. Results show that walking while looking at real space through AR is as dangerous as walking while web browsing. Apparently, arranging attention information related to the road surface or the roadside is ineffective for pedestrians who are walking while using a smartphone.","PeriodicalId":378987,"journal":{"name":"Urban and Regional Planning Review","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128804107","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
