Children’s participatory design for sustainable development and community planning

The urban developments have been carried out by only professionals for a long time because of efficiency and safety. However, most residents are ordinary people. Therefore, it is necessary to change the awareness of sustainable living environments, not only on the construction side but also the residents. In recent years, the number of cases of residents’ participation in planning, maintaining, and repairing increased. However, sometimes youths and children, who might spend a lifetime longer than adults in a city after the developments have been done, are not included in this “Residents”. Concerning youth and children’s participation, CFC (child friendly city) is one of the good practices for sustainable development. It was launched by UNICEF (United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund) and UN-Habitat in the Habitat II in 1996. City governments, especially in European countries, started to view CFC as their key concept for preservation and/or sustainable development. CFC means not only being “Children” friendly but also “All people” friendly. Various effects have been reported since the Historic Cities/districts included CFC in their city planning as a common concept, especially in education, community re-development, and operation and maintenance by the community. It is expected that better city planning in preservation and sustainable development can be achieved by adding CFC concept. In this research, an ideal way of city planning involving resident participation and the possibility in the future are analyzed based on case studies. Then a strategy of sustainable development and community planning involving youth and children’s participation is proposed.     

Developing web-based urban energy environmental database

Unbalanced energy consumption distribution caused by the concentration of facilities and population topples the natural energy equilibrium of a city and causes environmental problems such as urban tropical night, heat island phenomenon, global warming deterioration. Therefore, to secure eco-friendliness and sustainability of a city, it is necessary to introduce measures to alleviate the unequal distribution phenomenon of urban energy consumption from the city planning stage. For this purpose, the first step is to understand the current energy environment. The urban energy environment is affected by many factors in addition to gathering of buildings. Therefore, there is a limit to fully understanding advanced urban energy environment with only simple statistical urban information management technique. Research on methods of analyzing urban energy environment through simulation of recent urban scale is underway. There is not enough discussion about basic informaion databases for environmental analysis simulation of urban energy. This study presents a method using GIS (geographic information system) and web-based environmental information database as a way to improve the simulation accuracy. First, environmental information factors used for urban simulation were derived, and a web-based environmental information database targeting Daegu metropolitan city of Korea was built. Then, the urban energy environment was analyzed on a trial basis by linking the database with GIS.
