“…In addition to costs, an insufficient capacity for technical infrastructure, in particular waste water treatment plants, may be a problem [79]. The lack of fully public spaces can also be a problem, so activities usually carried out in public spaces can also take place in other places which are only available to the public under certain circumstances and for a definite period of time [80]. Suburbanisation may not only concern permanent housing, but there may be significant seasonal population shifts in some cities [19], with seasonal population growth causing problems, for example, in waste water management [81].…”

Impact of Suburbanisation on Sustainable Development of Settlements in Suburban Spaces: Smart and New Solutions

The aim of this article is to evaluate the impact of suburbanisation on the development of settlements with an emphasis on environmental aspects that need to be addressed in the process of extensive growth of municipalities in suburban regions. In the theoretical part, the article evaluates the processes of suburbanisation and their environmental impact. On a methodological level, municipalities in the suburban zone were first defined on the basis of driving distances. These municipalities were subjected to an analysis of the intensity of residential suburbanisation by calculating a multicriteria indicator from five selected criteria. In the second part of the analysis, a questionnaire survey of mayors was carried out in the particular municipalities. The responses were evaluated using the Likert scale method, and then statistically significant dependencies were sought among individual phenomena and environmental problems which need to be solved by the municipal management due to the growth of municipalities. It was found that the mayors consider changes in the landscape character to be among the most significant impacts of suburbanisation in the territory. A change in the rural character of municipalities because of the construction of urban-type houses is perceived as being very problematic. Another serious problem is the insufficient capacity of technical infrastructure such as sewerage and waste-water treatment. The costs of ensuring the quality of the environment and of public spaces, which are, in many cases, beyond the economic possibilities of municipalities, are also increasing significantly. The article also includes specifications of selected smart solutions and procedures that can help preserve the quality of the environment.

“…Regarding the restricted amenities and activities, only those who lived or worked in specified geographical catchment areas of POS were more likely to use and benefit from them. This has been considered a typology, in which privatized spaces are not intended for the public, but for select groups and sometimes with time limits (Mantey and Kepkowicz, 2018). Nevertheless, POS does achieve the purpose of balancing urban green space distribution, facilitating capital accumulation, saving money, and adapting to changing political, economic, and social demands.…”

The effects of ‘publicness’ and quality of publicly accessible open space upon user satisfaction

There is a worldwide trend for planning bodies to allow, require, or encourage developers to provide open spaces in their properties for public enjoyment to complement the open spaces on government lands. The two types of privately owned open space and government-owned open space, both accessible to public, can influence on people’s quality of life. Whether and how the land ownership of open spaces would influence their performance and, in turn, affect user satisfaction has not yet been studied and is worthy of exploration. This paper aims to examine the interactive relationships among three variables: ‘publicness’, quality/performance, and user satisfaction in both types of open space in Hong Kong. A questionnaire survey was administered to users of privately owned open space and government-owned open space and found that satisfaction with government-owned open space was marginally higher than with privately owned open space, with respect to activity facilities, amenities, and the overall utilization. Nevertheless, the differences in satisfaction were mainly the result of open space quality rather than land ownership per se. This study also examines the determinants of satisfaction, open space provision, and management and trends in spatial use. Findings from this study can deepen the understanding of utilizing both government-owned open space and privately owned open space from the user’s perspective, which will help improve the planning, design, and management of open spaces in cities.

“…While "private" often refers to the sphere conserved from state power and a share of an individual's life, "public" is generally associated with collective goals (Mantey and Kępkowicz, 2018). Public Open Space (POS) is capable of generating a range of benefits across economic, social and environmental dimensions (Carmona, 2010).…”

“…Yet, this merit is often accompanied by the implementation of strict control and surveillance within these spaces. POSPD are accused of limiting the manifestation of social or ethnic identity, declining in public space quality (Mantey and Kępkowicz, 2018). Creating POSPD with restrained accessibility across a city may aggravate instead of promoting spatial justice (Carmona, 2010).…”

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.
