“…The final Checklist records the period of field observation, general information of the public space, and scores the physical environment from four aspects, namely Amenity and Facility, Safety, Management and information, and Accessibility. Because of the multiple-level spatial system in Hong Kong, we give special considerations to the visibility and information of the POSPD (Jian et al, 2020a). The four aspects consist of 19 variables.…”

Public Open Space (POS) can generate a range of benefits across economic, social and environmental dimensions. As the government gradually contracting out the urban development responsibilities to private sectors, the fundamental mechanisms for the provision and management of POS have altered in cities all over the world. Public Open Space in Private Developments (POSPD) are accused of limiting the manifestation of social or ethnic identity, declining in public space quality. The typological study of POSPD offers a vital tool to understand, assessing and improving the existing POSPD. However, there are surprisingly few published typologies investigating the publicness and management dimension with a special focus on POSPD. Intentionally, we first discuss existing classifications and typologies of POS and comply with a list of complex measures that are inherited from scholars’ previous research. By examining the diversity of POSPD in terms of its spatial justice performance, we organise this diversity into a POSPD typology dedicated to compact urban morphology. The proposed POSPD typology allows the most effective management of existing POSPD, as well as a more precise recognition of gaps that is relevant to POS service and governance practice.

“…Traditional analogue models use printed maps or physical surveys that require processing and analysis [19]. For example, geographic information systems are used through internet web-based applications to collect insights from stakeholders for the management of public spaces or the design of green infrastructure [5,20,21]. In addition, Public Participatory Geographic Information Systems (PPGISs) were used to bridge the gap between public servants or planners and local residents, sometimes giving a voice to and empowering local residents on urban issues [22,23].…”

“…For the maintenance phase, the reviewed literature recommended using ICTs that allow the long-term support and maintenance of existing public spaces. The ICTs need to enable stakeholder input to monitor, evaluate and update the conditions of public spaces, allowing room for discussion and directing efforts to where they are most needed [5,21,60]. The level of decision making achieved by local residents in the maintenance phase mainly reaches public consultations.…”

Recent research indicates that information and communication technologies (ICTs) can support social participation in the planning, design and maintenance of public spaces (PDMPS), specifically to create comprehensive knowledge among different stakeholders. However, critics point out that the use of ICTs by planners and decision-makers often ignores the needs of local residents. For this research, we inquired how ICTs can support social participation in PDMPS. Our case study combines a literature review and 21 semi-structured interviews with government officials, non-governmental organisations, academics and architecture/urban planning consultancy companies in Mexico to understand how different stakeholders use ICTs to improve the quality of public spaces. We developed an approach that facilitates the analysis of ICT aspects related to hardware and software supporting social participation in PDMPS. The findings show that Mexico has a base of digital tools requiring technical capacities and spatial literacy at various stages of PDMPS, and ICTs are seen as an opportunity to engage with residents. However, in practice, our interviewees mentioned that ICTs are rarely implemented to support participatory processes due to high costs, a lack of political support and the insufficient technical expertise of technical staff to engage with residents using ICTs. The paper closes with recommendations and suggestions for future research on how ICTs can better support participatory processes in PDMPS.

“…According to Nouri et al [12], the role of ICT needs to get the attention of planners and designers of public spaces so that the availability of public spaces in parks should create a sense of security for its users. ICT penetration in public open space management allows a new experience in experiencing hybrid space for park users [13], [14], [15], [16]. However, the previous research only explained the benefits and contributions of ICT to the existence of public space and has not been able to explain.…”

The existence of the rise of public space, especially with the presence of information and communication technology (ICT) causes direct interaction between individuals overlapping in terms of public space utilization. Even several studies show that the presence of ICT makes it a new public space that presents features of social interaction between individuals and groups. The impact of the development of ICT can reduce the urge of people to use the park, even though the research does not show a relationship between the security perception of the community with the utilization of parks as part of urban public space. Previous studies showed that the community's utilization of parks is based on social functions related to security perceptions, specifically towards ICT presence. The analysis results show that the higher the frequency of community visits to the park, the lower the duration of park use. This study also found that the higher the utilization of ICT in the park, the higher the frequency and duration of visits the park. This research argued the previous research statement, which states that the utilization of ICT reduces the utilization of using the park as public spaces. This research contributes to the management of urban public spaces such as public parks concerning the existence of information and communication technology that can encourage the utilization of public space by the local community.
