International Review for Spatial Planning and Sustainable Development Volume 4, No. 1 (2016) International Review for Spatial Planning and Sustainable Development SPSD Press Since 2010 SPSD Press since 2010 International Review for Spatial Planning and Sustainable Development For investigation regarding the impact of planning policy on spatial planning implementation, International Community of Spatial Planning and Sustainable Development (SPSD) seeks to learn from researchers in an integrated multidisciplinary platform that reflects a variety of perspectives— such as economic development, social equality, and ecological protection— with a view to achieving a sustainable urban form. This international journal attempts to provide insights into the achievement of a sustainable urban form, through spatial planning and implementation; here, we focus on planning experiences at the levels of local cities and some metropolitan areas in the world, particularly in Asian countries. Submissions are expected from multidisciplinary viewpoints encompassing land-use patterns, housing development, transportation, green design, and agricultural and ecological systems.

Cities can be vulnerable to the effects of population change, climate change and the pressures of modernisation and globalisation, or they can be designed and built with those effects and the capability to manage them, even benefit from them, in mind. Designing, creating and managing sustainable residential areas, those that last the test of time, is pivotal to providing liveable environments for residents. Sustainable residential areas provide adequate and secure housing, prosperous social and cultural environments, and ensure a well-educated, healthy and motivated workforce for local economies. In addition, as inhabitants are recognised for their diversity and are engaged in their living environments, public participation in urban planning is an essential step in the process of sustainable urban design. This special issue thus brings together urban planning research focusing on three key areas: the use and access of information technology to residents, residential area uses and divisions, and urban area renewal. The first paper, by authors Anrong et al. (2016), focuses on smart community planning, exploring an approach for creating and promoting an information-sharing platform in Yishanwan, Jiangxia Distict, Wuhan, China. The framework consists of a base layer, sharing layer, application layer, service layer and portal layer with an implementation target of achieving a newly created smart community supporting improved and ongoing public participation. This paper is followed by the research of Chang et al. (2016) who analyse the geography of the digital divide on a micro-scale in Nanjing, China. The research provides an index system based on cluster and regression analysis utilising survey data about personal internet usage patterns. The analysis finds that individual socio-economic attributes, as well as the location and housing of residents, has a significant impact on internet usage patterns. This finding may contribute to the planning of civil engagement as well as emphasize differing community educational requirements regarding smart, digital planning solutions. Zhang et al. (2016) conducted research on the spatial and temporal patterns of residents’ daily activities through the collection of GPS data by survey. The research found different patterns of movement for different activities as well as for differing times and days of the week. The study was based in Beijing, China, and found that despite the urbanisation of Beijing’s residential areas, some are still lacking in job opportunities and shopping 1 2 IRSPSD International, Vol.4 No.1 (2016), 1-3 facilities. The analysis of GPS data in this study demonstrates an effective method of identifying the needs of communities and providing information for future residential area planning. The fourth paper of this issue, by Bi and Zhang (2016), looks at the influencing factors and policy distortions of school zoning areas in central Beijing using GIS mapping, survey and interview methods. The study identifies a contradiction within the Chinese public school enrolment system, where students may or may not be actually residing within the designated school zones and discusses the legitimacy underlying the current enrolment system. The findings of this research may be applied to the zoning of school districts, as well as the development of educational policies that address the requirements of modern urban families to create more sustainable communities. Chiranthanin and Suzuki (2016) consider the concept of ‘neighbourhood’ in the context of Nimmanhaemin District, Chiang Mai, Thailand, where traditional residential areas are being increasingly encroached upon by commercial enterprises. The research uses community participation and questionnaire data to identify methods for urban management, including managing traffic flows, zoning, city image promotion and community design, in order to connect and consolidate residential areas and public spaces, while accommodating and promoting the unique industries and economic opportunities of each area within the district.

Scholars from different fields analyzed issues of social space reconstruction and cultural value protection from the perspectives of political and economic factors and cultural heritage protection and explores strategies for traditional courtyard improvement from the perspectives of physical space and public policy, though the tracking investigation and empirical analysis on the regeneration of traditional courtyards regarding social orientation is quite limited. In this paper the author analyzes social problems existing in physical and social space changes and explored sustainable regeneration strategies for

In this paper, 97.1k photos of Beijing were captured by using web crawler technology, and the blue sky and green vegetation objects in the photos were extracted by using the Image Cascade Network (ICNet) neural network model. We analyzed the distribution characteristics of the blue–green space area proportion index and its relationships with the background economic and social factors. The results showed the following. (1) The spatial distribution of Beijing’s blue–green space area proportion index showed a pattern of being higher in the west and lower in the middle and east. (2) There was a positive correlation between the satellite remote sensing normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) and the proportion index of green space area, but the fitting degree of geospatial weighted regression decreased with an increasing analysis scale.
