“…To help city planners to evaluate and analyze the effectiveness of public facility configuration, scholars have conducted many studies on the accessibility of public facilities [1][2][3][4], service areas [5][6][7][8], and equity issues [9][10][11]. From a spatial perspective, the basic idea of these studies is to estimate the connections between demand locations and supply locations.…”

Abstract:Services provided by public facilities are essential to people's lives and are closely associated with human mobility. Traditionally, public facility access characteristics, such as accessibility, equity issues and service areas, are investigated mainly based on static data (census data, travel surveys and particular records, such as medical records). Currently, the advent of big data offers an unprecedented opportunity to obtain large-scale human mobility data, which can be used to study the characteristics of public facilities from the spatial interaction perspective. Intuitively, spatial interaction characteristics and service areas of different types and sizes of public facilities are different, but how different remains an open question, so we, in turn, examine this question. Based on spatial interaction, we classify public facilities and explore the differences in facilities. In the research, based on spatial interaction extracted from taxi data, we introduce an unsupervised classification method to classify 78 hospitals in 6 districts of Beijing, and the results better reflect the type of hospital. The findings are of great significance for optimizing the spatial configuration of medical facilities or other types of public facilities, allocating public resources reasonably and relieving traffic pressure.

“…These days, most of the municipalities search for ways to increase public participation unlike the past decades in which the urban planners have considered the public goals and rules down but they have developed their own decision without taking any advice from the resident side (Pissourios, 2014;Taleai et al, 2014). In fact, this is a change in the planning approach from traditional top-down to bottom-up models (Mansourian et al, 2011).…”

“…The role of planners is mostly mediating among stakeholders and the focus of planning is on the process rather than outcome (Mohammadi, 2010). By using this application, municipalities get greater depth to the cities projects because more citizens are considered in the decision-making about their living place (Taleai et al, 2014). The term of public participation emerges here and the basic idea to use it is that people could control all decisions which effect on their lives.…”

ABSTRACT:Today municipalities are searching for new tools to empower locals for changing the future of their own areas by increasing their participation in different levels of urban planning. These tools should involve the community in planning process using participatory approaches instead of long traditional top-down planning models and help municipalities to obtain proper insight about major problems of urban neighborhoods from the residents' point of view. In this matter, public participation GIS (PPGIS) which enables citizens to record and following up their feeling and spatial knowledge regarding problems of the city in the form of maps have been introduced. In this research, a tool entitled CAER (Collecting & Analyzing of Environmental Reports) is developed. In the first step, a software framework based on Web-GIS tool, called EPGIS (Environmental Participatory GIS) has been designed to support public participation in reporting urban environmental problems and to facilitate data flow between citizens and municipality. A web-based cartography tool was employed for geo-visualization and dissemination of map-based reports. In the second step of CAER, a subsystem is developed based on SOLAP (Spatial On-Line Analytical Processing), as a data mining tools to elicit the local knowledge facilitating bottom-up urban planning practices and to help urban managers to find hidden relations among the recorded reports. This system is implemented in a case study area in Boston, Massachusetts and its usability was evaluated. The CAER should be considered as bottom-up planning tools to collect people's problems and views about their neighborhood and transmits them to the city officials. It also helps urban planners to find solutions for better management from citizen's viewpoint and gives them this chance to develop good plans to the neighborhoods that should be satisfied the citizens.

“…That is why a growing number of scholars (Fern andez-Güell, 2006;Marais & Ntema, 2013;Peris, AcebilloBaqu e, & Calabuig, 2011;Scott, Cotton, & Sohail Khan, 2013;Taleai, Sliuzas, & Flacke, 2014) have argued the need to take into consideration the complexity of these processes. The heterogeneous nature and intricate relationships of the functional elements and the stakeholders involved in urban processes add difficulty to the analysis.…”
