Collaborative Land Use Planning in Urban Renewal

Abstract

Conflicting expectations of stakeholders in urban renewal applications may lead to spatial and functionally unsustainable applications. Therefore, urban renewal applications require collaborative planning with their multi-stakeholder and multidimensional structure (political, social, and economic). This study aims to create a collaborative land-use planning (CLUP) approach that minimizes the factors arising from the expectations of the stakeholders and that has an adverse effect on the success of the project. The study consists of two stages. In the first stage, the literature is reviewed to create a framework for the CLUP approach. Within this framework, spatial and functional goals are identified for an urban renewal site within the borders of Meram Municipality in the Konya province of Turkey. In the second stage, a survey is conducted with the participation of stakeholders to identify their spatial and functional demands (vision, land-use and building design). Finally, the fitting between the spatial and functional demands of the stakeholders and the spatial and functional goals identified within the framework of the CLUP approach is discussed. As a result of the survey, it was determined that the expectations of the stakeholders regarding the vision, land-use and building design participate and governance processes are incompatible with each other. The expectations of the stakeholders were evaluated within the framework of the CLUP approach, and recommendations were made for a sustainable vision and a pluralistic decision-making, while raising awareness for participation.

Evaluating the Impact of Public Participation Processes on Participants in Smart City Development: A Scoping Review

“…The primary focus of four studies addressing only "consultation" was on collecting input from citizens to inform the planning process [42,54,57,58]. The others aimed to induce a change of a behavior [56], to initiate a social-ecological transformation [55], and to co-create public value for and with citizens [48,54].…”

“…Level of awareness-pre-and post-experience [47]; community knowledge, local sense of urgency [59]; participants are informed and increase their knowledge about an issue [49,67]; raising awareness through community networks [65]; raising awareness on the concept of urban renewal and its implementation [58].…”

“…Participants' attitudes toward technology [57]; no dominating person or group [49,67]; negative attitudes between NGOs and local administration [58].…”

“…"Awareness" is also mentioned in six articles; five of them consider it as a dimension to monitor dynamically throughout the participation process [47,49,58,65,67], while the last one takes it as a starting point to assess the pre-existing awareness of the population on the risks of flood in the city [59]. This is justified by the focus of the study, which aims to evaluate a city's preparedness to face environmental risks related to climate change.…”

Efforts and Barriers Shifting a City Region Towards Circular Transition – Lessons from a Living Lab from Pécs, Hungary

“…Since then, the concept has been applied widely to foster urban experimentation and collaborative planning and to provide a methodology for facilitating open innovation and knowledge co-creation. The living laboratories bring together citizens, consumers, and users into an innovation system, resulting in a multi-stakeholder and multidimensional structure, thereby leveraging a larger mass of knowledge, ideas and experiences (Eriksson et al, 2006;Lepik et al, 2010;Steen and van Bueren, 2017;van Geenhuizen, 2018;Bozdağ and İNam, 2021). In the Horizon 2020 REPAiR project, Peri-Urban Living Labs (PULLs) were set up in six European regions, including Pécs, to engage stakeholders in the co-creation of eco-innovative solutions for each region.…”
