The Hong Kong government has utilized new town developments to meet its development goals, employing a balanced development principle. However, Hong Kong's new towns have long been criticized as ‘dormitory towns,’ as they cannot achieve self-sufficiency, partly due to the uneven distribution of public amenities. Access to public amenities, such as libraries, municipal halls, and performing arts venues is not only crucial for creating a sense of community and identity but also for the development of sustainable and livable communities while also helping to address inequality. Hong Kong's new towns have been developed through three generations, starting in the 1960s. Of interest for this paper is Tung Chung, the latest new town that has attracted public attention due to its lack of community identity and inadequate access to public facilities, all of which are exacerbated by the new town's poor urban form. To understand the relationship between access to cultural facilities and quality of life, this paper assesses and compares the total number, capacity, and overall access to public facilities within Hong Kong's new towns and the variation within each generation. After that, we focus on Tung Chung to explore, through spatial analysis and interviews, the impact of the new town's urban form and its limited offer of public facilities. Our findings suggest that the more recent new towns, particularly Tung Chung, are disadvantaged in both qualities of the urban form and access to public facilities. Moreover, lower-income households in public housing are particularly disenfranchised. This affects the residents' daily life, depriving them of access to social services and affecting community life, thus exacerbating inequality. Future expansion areas are designed based on the same principles and will thus likely result in similar issues.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":45131,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Urban Management","volume":"12 3","pages":"Pages 295-309"},"PeriodicalIF":6.1,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44752139","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We conducted an online survey between March and April 2020 in Quito, Ecuador, and applied quantitative and spatial methods to analyze the perceptions. The results show statistically significant differences in neighbors’ support, home safety, and neighborhood safety between normal days and lockdown days. The perceptions of the public space as non-important before the lockdown and the perceptions of not being safe at home or in the neighborhood are spatially random, not concentrated in a specific area of the city. Our findings also show that gender, the importance of public space during normal days, and the willingness of neighbors to support each other on lockdown days could explain the perception of the importance of public space on lockdown days. This research provides unique information to contribute with perspectives and discussions of public space and social dynamics in pandemic and post pandemic times.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":45131,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Urban Management","volume":"12 3","pages":"Pages 284-294"},"PeriodicalIF":6.1,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42820414","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A total of 30 urban observatories were used as secondary data as an inductive analysis of thematic content using NVIVO 12 Plus. Environmental, economic, social, physical, and global agenda are the five key data analytic themes. The finding of the study is that environmental and social data analytics were the most commonly used themes in the 30 UOs surveyed. Also, the UO system developers focused on GIS (Geographic Information System) data relating to the physical environment and land cover. While efforts are being made to improve spatial data, in advanced analysis, however, data modelling and prediction/forecasts are still lacking. In conclusion, examining existing urban observatory systems are critical to the Malaysia Urban Observatory's development.

However, this has resulted in urban changes into sprawling characterized by clusters of peri-urbanization interspersed along major transportation corridors that has absorbed provincial municipal centers within almost a hundred-kilometer radius from the center. The results of this uncontrolled, unplanned sprawl with weak or ineffective land use or transportation planning have detrimental effects on the overall well-being of the residents and the quality of life in the metropolitan area. This study uses the healthy city concept to analyze the factors that affect the health of the population by using Pathum Thani Province as the case study of 1055 structured questionnaires in face-to-face interviews. After data collection, the data was used in a Structural Equation Model (SEM) to analyze the factors that affect the health of the population in this highly urbanized province. The result of the study showed that factors affecting urban health have components relative to health issues, social and economic, physical, and environmental factors. Finally, this approach could help to quantify the complex interactions involved in health and wellbeing in relation to the constantly changing urban environment of sprawling areas to help guide policy decisions for achieving the development of a healthy city.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":45131,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Urban Management","volume":"12 3","pages":"Pages 208-220"},"PeriodicalIF":6.1,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48089357","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The authors summarise results of their international empirical research in an analysis in which they place everyday digital planning practices at the centre of their considerations, where profound and intricate affects in planning occur at the level of embodied practices, spatial knowledge, planning processes, and workplaces. The authors examine the use of digital tools at different study sites and particularly discuss how the digitalisation of planners’ actions through the use of Computer-Aided Design (CAD) programmes affects the way spaces are planned and how spatial knowledge is changing through the use of Geographic Information Systems (GIS). What is striking is that on the basis of digital practices, the relationships between planning actors are being refigured insofar as planning teams often work not only locally but at the same time globally networked and thus plan translocally. This refiguration through digitalisation (Knoblauch & Löw, 2020) in its social and spatial dimensions is also reflected in the design of workplaces (including the layouts of planning offices) as is shown in the article. Finally, it is outlined that risks and potentials for planning products are unfolding today through phenomena such as the digital datafication of spatial realities and translocal planning by the globally distributed members of planning teams.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":45131,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Urban Management","volume":"12 2","pages":"Pages 141-150"},"PeriodicalIF":6.1,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41717889","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
