Abstract: Urban green plays a central role in discussions about quality of life in urban areas. Young people have particular requirements of urban green, understanding of which is key in planning infrastructure and design aspects in cities. In order to support the spatial planning of child- and youth-friendly cities, including urban green, some questions must first be answered: (i) What kind of urban green is important? (ii) What kind of infrastructure elements are needed? (iii) What are the central characteristics and design aspects of urban green and its elements? (iv) How are they rated? The u3Green project aims to answer these questions by developing a survey app in cooperation with schools. The data gathered via the app will be analysed in order for recommendations to be made. Preliminary research activities were conducted. (1) A literature review investigated children’s and young people’s requirements of urban green. (2) An online questionnaire asked about urban outdoor activities, liked places, and the personal meaning of favourite places. The survey confirmed the needs and requirements identified in the literature review, but also revealed a new and surprising category of activity: walking. (3) A number of workshops in schools revealed what young people consider as negative factors in urban areas, especially traffic. Keywords: young people, liveable cities, cultural ecosystem services, participation, infrastructure and design of urban green Published Online: 2023/06/27 07:04:59 Object Identifier: 0xc1aa5576 0x003e5566 Rights:https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nd/4.0/
“GI_Forum” publishes high quality original research across the transdisciplinary field of Geographic Information Science (GIScience). The journal provides a platform for dialogue among GI-Scientists and educators, technologists and critical thinkers in an ongoing effort to advance the field and ultimately contribute to the creation of an informed GISociety. Submissions concentrate on innovation in education, science, methodology and technologies in the spatial domain. “GI_Forum” implements the policy of open access publication (CC-BY-ND-License) after a double-blind peer review process through a highly international team of established scientists for quality assurance. Special emphasis is put on actively supporting young scientists through formative reviews of their submissions.
