“…The approach here reflects a growing recognition of relationships between leadership and place (Collinge, Gibney, & Mabey, 2010;Hunter, 2012). The paper starts from systematic regional innovation approaches distinguishing knowledge exploration and exploitation subsystems (Cooke, 2005) embedded within wider socio-political structures (Lundvall, 2007).…”

Strategic agency and institutional change: investigating the role of universities in regional innovation systems (RISs). Regional Studies. Past analyses rooted in the thick description of regions successful in constructing regional innovation systems have given way to analyses more focused on the intentionality in these processes, and how actors in regions with their own wider networks can shape these high-level changes in regional fortunes. As part of this, place-based leadership has emerged as a promising concept to restore both agency and territory to these discussions, but it remains under-theorized in key areas. This paper contributes to these debates by arguing that there remains a reduction of agency to organizations, and that place-based leadership research needs to take into account organizational dynamics and interests in for bettering our understanding of the dynamics of place-based leadership in regional innovation systems.

“…The most mentioned factor is the level of openness and awareness towards community participation (Andres 2013; Barnes et al, 2006;Knight, 2010;Larson & Guenther, 2012;Peng 2013;Roe 2014b;De Sartre et al, 2012). This may refer to the presence or absence of support from governments in acknowledging local needs (Chan 2011a;Hunter, 2012;John Friedmann, 2010), providing sessions to communicate with residents and deliver their aspirations in place-making projects which are initiated through top-down approach (Bendt et al, 2013;Darchen 2013;Franz et al, 2008;Keating, 2012), or integrating place-making project by communities with public sector agendas (Barnes et al, 2006;Dukanovic & Zivkovic, 2015;Semenza, 2003). that one of the enabling factors in the success of place-making project by local community is that the city council agreed to include the project as part of the city's community enhancement project and provide materials to support the project.…”

“…Studying governance in place-making provides insight on how well the government system is able to respond to the changing circumstances of a society while shaping the decision-making process that involves different objectives and interests of various actors (Razali and Ismail 2015). In this way, governance is often linked to development orientation (Barnes et al, 2006;Chan 2011;Darchen 2013;Ho & Douglass, 2008;Roe 2014;Teernstra & Pinkster, 2016) and power distribution (Andres 2012;Drinkwater & Platt 2016;Franz et al, 2008;Healey 1997;Hunter, 2012;Quayle et al, 1997;Roe, p. 2014).…”

This systematic review discusses the shifted paradigm in the place-making concept, from being focused on physical changes in the environment (product-oriented) created by urban planners, towards place-making as an iterative process that involves various actors other than the planning professionals. Despite this conceptual reorientation that was emerged in the 1960s, important discussions, such as factors that support or obstruct the process of place-making are often mentioned incidentally in publications without being systematically analysed across cases. Therefore, this paper aims to bring a better overview of the concept of place-making as a process by combining theoretical and empirical research in the planning context. To achieve this aim, a systematic literature review of 61 articles published between 1960 and 2016 has been used. This research demonstrates a variety of approaches, influential factors, and outcomes of place-making. It points out the importance to take into considerations the interplays among the roles of actors, along with physical-spatial elements of places. These factors should be acknowledged in combination with the others, rather than being treated as unidimensional. Such circumstances not only lead to viable place-making but also bring positive social impacts to local communities, especially on gaining local empowerment, enhancing social ties, reinforcing place identity, and increasing quality of life.

“…For the measurement, it was based on previous studies, such as Cohen et al (2018), about measuring place-making impacts, including health and wellbeing. The other one was a study by Hunter (2012), where he measured by public sector services on the residents, including the quality of life.…”

This study aims to assess the social outcome of place-making in urban informal settlements. This research is guided by the following research question: What are the relationships between regular and temporal place-making towards local capacity, social connection, local identity, and quality of life? Data were collected using a self-administered questionnaire in two informal settlements in Indonesia. Several indicators were combined from existing literature in order to assess the influence of the place-making on the residents’ perceptions of the four social outcomes. The results of the multiple linear regression analysis were presented while increasing our comprehension of how specific dimensions of place-making, such as nature of activities and their frequency, affect social aspects of the community where the practice took place. The originality of this paper lies in the context of the research and the methodology where it fills the existing gaps in both areas.
