“…The denser the buildings and the less proportion of the sky could the stronger enclosure in the street space. The more psychological distress was exhibited by residents walking in high-density residential streets, which compared to those in low-density residential streets (Maxwell 1996, Kanyepe 2023. Previous studies pointed out that reducing the sense of oppression caused by buildings and greenery were helpful for decreasing the negative impact on human perception in the high-rise residential streets (Wang et al 2021).…”

As an important part of the urban built environment, streets exploring the influence mechanism between the built environment and human perception. It is one of the issues in building healthy cities. In this study, the residential streets of Zhongshan Distict, Dalian were selected as the study site, including Mountain Low-rise Neighborhood, Old Mid-rise Neighborhood, and Modern High-rise Neighborhood. Meanwhile, spatial measurement and human perception perception evaluation of the street environment were based on Deep learning and street view image (SVI). The study used human perceptions as dependent variables, and physical features as the independent variables. Finally, two regression models of positive and negative perceptions were established to analyze the relationship between them. The results showed that in the three types of neighborhood, positive perception was mainly focused on Mountain Low-rise Neighborhood; Negative perception was mainly focused on Old Mid-rise Neighborhood. Greenness, Openness, Natural Landscape, Natural to artificial ratio of the horizontal interface, and Natural to artificial ratio of the vertical interface had a positive influence on positive perception. Pedestrian occurrence rate, Enclosure, and Vehicle Occurrence rate had a negative influence on negative emotive. Greenness was the physical feature that most affected human perception. This study provided a method for objectively evaluating the quality of the street built environment. It is important for promoting the quality of residential streets and public mental health.

“…However, there is a significant lack of empirical research on the mediating effect of soundscape perception in historical and cultural areas on the "resident-place" relationship. It is appropriate to use structural equation modeling to explore the potential mediating role in this relationship [28]. The collection methods of qualitative data are diverse.…”

A soundscape carries the culture and memories of historical and cultural areas, capable of evoking people’s emotions towards a place. This paper aims to explore the influence of the soundscape on the sense of place in historical and cultural areas using a mixed-method approach. Conducting on-site measurements, questionnaires, and semi-structured interviews in four areas in Taiyuan, China, this research utilized structural equation modeling and grounded theory for analysis. Research findings: Firstly, the soundwalk method identified 11 categories of soundscapes and the main sources of noise in residential areas were traffic sounds and commercial sounds. Secondly, residents showed the highest preference for natural sounds and traditional activity sounds. Preferences for activities’ sounds and traditional sounds, along with the perceived frequency of daily life sounds, entertainment activities’ sounds, and natural sounds were positively associated with the sense of place, while the perceived frequency of commercial sounds, traffic sounds, and pet sounds was negatively associated. Lastly, from the grounded theory, this research showed that traditional sounds effectively enhanced residents’ sense of place by triggering memories, embodying culture, and connecting emotions. Daily life sounds linked residents’ lives and prompted visions, while local dialects evoked emotion and culture. Activities’ sounds served as lubricants for the place, primarily triggering residents’ sense of place from a lifestyle and emotional connection.

This research introduces a pioneering methodology and user-friendly online dashboard for examining population shifts during urban redevelopment in Bat Yam, Israel, part of the Tel Aviv Metropolitan Area. The simulation tool, operated through scripts, predicts how redevelopment scenarios will impact household demographics over time. Its output is a population track-change CSV file detailing demographic changes. The accompanying online dashboard visually presents these changes, making the data accessible to policymakers and planners. The tool’s consideration of environmental factors enhances its applicability in identifying vulnerable populations and resilient communities amidst urban renewal. This user-friendly approach, compatible with existing planning tools, underscores the article’s significance in advancing urban planning practice and addressing societal needs.
