“…Many questions measured responses on an interval level, using the likert scaling method on a 1-5 disagree-agree response scale, allowing participants to remain neutral whilst providing sufficient detail on the degree to which they agreed or disagreed with individual responses. Numerous retail studies have based their findings on surveys, using bottom-up data collection (Kärrholm et al, 2012;Ozuduru et al, 2014;Thompson et al, 2015) valuing the specific knowledge of local respondents, many of whom have been present for many years. A census of retail was undertaken to record data on store location, typology and occupancy as well as the size of the business.…”

“…The sample sizes may appear limited; however they are sufficient in comparison to similar studies which have interviewed relatively few participants, such as 11-20 businesses and 20-44 consumers, stating difficulties in establishing contact with respondents. (Andres Coca-stefaniak et al, 2010;Kärrholm et al, 2012;Thompson et al, 2015;Wagner et al, 2005). A study in Turkey assumed the number of visitors that should be surveyed for a study to be significant was in proportion to the span of the street.…”

“…While there has been much research into city centres (Kärrholm et al, 2012;Lawlor, 2013;Thompson et al, 2015), there is a recognised need for academic studies which report on retail change in secondary areas (Hallsworth and Orchard, 2009). Specifically, local context data is required to understand how spatial and economic factors affect SME retailers within city centres (Findlay and Sparks, 2012).…”

City Centre retail spaces are integral to the sustainability of cities, and within this hierarchy secondary shopping streets, which act as hubs for local communities and businesses, have become isolated. There is now a recognised need for academic studies to reverse these trends in these areas, especially in a UK context. This work analysed and compared stakeholders' perceptions of urban interventions in a declining secondary retail area in Southampton. The investigation was based on interviews and surveys of stakeholders, as well as observational studies enhanced through analysis of secondary data.This paper presents the outcomes of such investigations addressing the perceptions and behaviours of retailers and visitors, focusing on where these are aligned or divided. The overall results reveal that retailers are more concerned with 'static' improvements, such as parking provisions or building façade improvements, while visitors are concerned with active and spatial improvements, with street level interventions being the most important. The results also show that (a) whilst retailers may believe that they understand what visitors require; they differ greatly and (b) many aspirations of retailers are costly or dependant on other businesses' intentions. Visitor's desires: include the reuse of vacant stores and creation of public space, which are far more viable, and can be enacted by governance. Such options should be trialled as a means to educate and improve understanding of less traditional interventions. The paper also provides input on ways to make these failing areas more sustainable through a shared vision and wide applicability.

“…Nuestro objetivo no debe ser el de volver a un sistema de transporte pre-crisis que era altamente insostenible y dependiente del vehículo privado, sino analizar los procesos de cambio que los usuarios han adoptado para mantener sus niveles de movilidad asumiendo los cambios provocados por la crisis (Kärrholm et al, 2014;Pickett, Cadenasso, y Grove, 2004). Pero para ello debemos entender primero los procesos de adaptación que los distintos grupos sociales y los distintos territorios han adoptado para navegar los efectos de la crisis.…”

RESUMENLa crisis económica internacional ha tenido impactos en múltiples aspectos de la vida cotidiana en España. Como soporte indispensable de la vida cotidiana, la movilidad también se ha visto afectada por la pérdida de puestos de trabajo y la caída de la capacidad de gasto de las familias. La dimensión de los cambios sin embargo depende en gran parte de las condiciones inherentes del territorio, que tiene la capacidad de potenciar o restringir las estrategias de adaptación a la crisis. El artículo propone un análisis de la movilidad cotidiana en la Región Metropolitana de Barcelona para el periodo 2004-2012, examinando la evolución de los patrones de movilidad en los años previos y posteriores a la llegada de la crisis a España. Los impactos sobre la movilidad diaria se contextualizan en base a la resiliencia territorial de cada subámbito metropolitano: Barcelona, su 1ª y 2ª coronas metropolitanas, analizando las distintas posibilidades de adaptación que cada territorio ofrece a sus ciudadanos.Palabras clave: movilidad; crisis económica; adaptación; Barcelona; resiliencia. ABSTRACTThe current international crisis has had impacts on multiple aspects of everyday life in Spain. As an indispensable support of daily life, mobility has also been affected by the loss of jobs and the fall of spending power of families. The dimension of the changes, however, depends largely on the inherent conditions of the territory, which has the ability to Boletín de la Asociación de Geógrafos Españoles N.º 75 -2017, págs. 9-28 I.S.S.N.: 0212-9426

“…Rather than situate population or existing building density as possible indicators of demand, as with our Suzhou case study [37], we take them as constitutive of potential, because we are looking at what the urban form and the distribution of activities affords in terms of potential scales and dynamics of movement (rather than the movement itself through origin-destination surveys or tracking data). Research using centrality metrics like closeness (proximity) and betweenness (being situated on shortest paths) suggests that centrality at multiple scales provides a certain sustainability and resiliency in the urban form [40], and this has been found to be beneficial in particular for commercial activities [41,42].…”

Underground Potential for Urban Sustainability: Mapping Resources and Their Interactions with the Deep City Method

2016

Abstract:In the process of urban growth, the underground is often only addressed once all surface alternatives have been exhausted. Experience shows that this can lead to unforeseen conflicts (e.g., subsidence, groundwater pollution) and to lost opportunities (e.g., combined geothermal systems and building foundations or recycling of excavation materials). One challenge is how the underground potentials are assessed by urban actors; data collection, analysis and visualization for the different resources are often conducted in separate disciplinary corners and administrative divisions. This paper presents a mapping method developed within the Deep City project at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne (EPFL) and its application to San Antonio, Texas. San Antonio is interesting in its lack of major underground infrastructure and its few means and political support for short-term underground development. We will specifically look at the production of a series of interaction maps, an original mapping strategy that is complementary to the resource potential maps we have produced in prior work. After situating this research within larger theoretical and philosophical questions, we will show how mapping the combined potentiality of underground resources can serve as a compass for future interdisciplinary discussions that address the urban underground as a source of opportunity, rather than as an afterthought.
