■规划者越来越多地通过使用基于在线地图的评论平台众包数据,让利益相关者参与共同生产重要规划信息。很少有研究,然而,调查此类在线平台对规划结果的作用和影响。我们通过公众参与地理信息系统(PPGIS)评估参与者输入的影响,一个平台,建议在纽约市(NY)和芝加哥(IL)放置新的自行车共享站。我们进行了2次分析,以评估计划人员与PPGIS平台上建议的自行车共享站之间的距离。根据我们的邻近度分析,只有一小部分建站在建议站100英尺(30米)以内,但是我们的地理空间分析表明,由于随机分布,这两个城市的建议站和已建站都有大量聚集。我们发现PPGIS平台在创建规划知识和见解的真正联合制作方面具有很大的希望,并且系统规划者确实考虑了在线提供的建议。我们没有,然而,采访任一系统的策划者,这两个城市可能都是非典型的,自行车共享计划也是如此;此外,多种因素影响自行车站的位置,所以不是所有建议的车站都可以建。
■规划者可以使用PPGIS和类似平台来帮助利益相关者边干边学,并增加自己的本地知识,以改善规划成果。规划者应努力开发更好的在线参与系统,并允许利益相关者提供更多更好的数据,继续评估PPGIS的努力,以提高在线公众参与过程的透明度和合法性。
UNASSIGNED: Planners increasingly involve stakeholders in co-producing vital planning information by crowdsourcing data using online map-based commenting platforms. Few studies, however, investigate the role and impact of such online platforms on planning outcomes. We evaluate the impact of participant input via a public participation geographic information system (
PPGIS), a platform to suggest the placement of new bike share stations in New York City (NY) and Chicago (IL). We conducted 2 analyses to evaluate how close planners built new bike share stations to those suggested on
PPGIS platforms. According to our proximity analysis, only a small percentage of built stations were within 100 feet (30m) of suggested stations, but our geospatial analysis showed a substantial clustering of suggested and built stations in both cities that was not likely due to random distribution. We found that the
PPGIS platforms have great promise for creating genuine co-production of planning knowledge and insights and that system planners did take account of the suggestions offered online. We did not, however, interview planners in either system, and both cities may be atypical, as is bike share planning; moreover, multiple factors influence where bike stations can be located, so not all suggested stations could be built.
UNASSIGNED: Planners can use
PPGIS and similar platforms to help stakeholders learn by doing and to increase their own local knowledge to improve planning outcomes. Planners should work to develop better online participatory systems and to allow stakeholders to provide more and better data, continuing to evaluate
PPGIS efforts to improve the transparency and legitimacy of online public involvement processes.
