Diversity,Equality and Inclusion:Study on the Planning Concept of Public Service Facilities in Greater London

As China’s urbanization enters a transitional period,diversified supply of public service facilities and the improvement of public service facilities from the level of social equity are important themes of urban planning.The core policies and concepts of the planning of public service facilities in Greater London under the framework of the statutory urban planning system were analyzed,and the characteristics were summarized to seek possible references.Greater London takes development planning as the core,and integrates the planning of public service facilities into economic growth,overall spatial development,community construction,and the improvement of residents’ welfare from the regional to the local level under the guidance of the national policy planning framework.Among them,providing diversified infrastructure and services,focusing on diverse population needs and equal choices of different social groups,ensuring the accessibility of facilities and services,and emphasizing barrier-free design are worthy of reference for urban planning in China.

Impact of Urban Public Service Facilities on Distribution Pattern of Housing Price

The impact of different public service facilities is obtained by investigating the infl uence of public service facilities on distribution pattern of housing price in 25 cities.According to the survey results,public education service facilities have the highest weight and the greatest impact,which also refl ects the root of“school district housing fever”from the side.Public sports service facilities have the lowest score when compared with other options.This is not because public sports service facilities are not important,but is determined by actual situation of social development and actual living standard of residents in China.From the improvement and enhancement of urban public service facilities,the construction of public service facilities should be convenient for people’s education,health,culture and entertainment.

Convenience Analysis of Public Service Facilities in the Walking Circle of Urban Housing Estates

A walkable urban built environment with convenient facilities is the key to improve the living quality of urban residents and build a livable city in the new era.Taking each urban housing estate as the center and based on walking accessibility,the walking circle of housing estates was constructed.Taking the six functional systems of convenient shopping,catering service,fi nancial service,scientifi c research and education,leisure and entertainment,and medical service as evaluation factors,and considering the actual frequency of residents’use of various public service facilities and the reduction of walking,the convenience evaluation system of public service facilities was established.Taking the urban built environment within the Second Ring Road of Shijiazhuang City,Hebei Province as an example,it is found that the convenience of public service facilities in the walking circle of housing estates within the Second Ring Road presented a circular layer distribution of“low outside and high inside”.This study will provide the reference for urban renewal and renovation and improvement of facilities.

Distribution of Public Service Facilities under the Background of Smart Community: A Case Study of Pingguoyuan Street, Shijingshan District, Beijing City

In the context of smart community construction, the intelligent renewal of community public service facilities faces many challenges. To study the spatial distribution of smart community and community public service facilities, the distribution status of public service facilities in Pingguoyuan Street, Shijingshan District, Beijing was analyzed through POI points and relying on ArcGIS as a platform, and the distribution of public service facilities and intelligent facility strategy in the context of smart community were explored to provide contributions to the construction of smart community and the spatial optimization of intelligent facilities.

The Impact of Urban Renewal on Public Service Facilities in Shenzhen during Inventory Development Stage:An Empirical Analysis of Futian District

As the material carrier of social service industry,public service facilities are important indicators to measure human settlement.With the continuous deepening of inventory development practice,urban renewal has gradually become one of the sources of supply of public service facilities.Focusing on the urban renewal activities of Futian District,Shenzhen from 2010 to 2016,the study conducts an empirical study on the pattern of public service facility networks before and after urban renewal through social network analysis.The fi ndings show that:①on the whole,the public service system in Futian District has been effectively improved during urban renewal development;②the impact of urban renewal on public service system is characterized by differentiation,among which industrial and commercial facilities have been signifi cantly improved,while educational and medical facilities have been hardly improved;③urban renewal has a clear policy orientation as an institutional means,and promoting economic restructuring and industrial reorganization is still the primary purpose of urban renewal during inventory development stage.

Decision-Making Model of Public Service Facility Configuration in Multi-agent Communities and Its Application

The decision-making process of the public service facility configuration in multi-agent community is usually simplistic and static.In order to reflect dynamic changes and interactions of all behavior subjects including of residents,real estate developers and the government,a decision-making model of public service facility configuration according to the multi-agent theory was made to improve the efficiency of the public service facility configuration in community and the living quality of residents.Taking a community to the east of Jinhui Port in Fengxian District in Shanghai for example,the model analyzed the decision-makers' adaptive behaviors and simulated the decision-making criteria.The results indicate that the decision-making model and criteria can be well of satisfying the purpose of improving validity and rationality of public service facility configuration in large community.

Spatial Identities of Public Health Service Facilities in Metropolitan Suburban Communities: A Case Study of Shanghai Jinshan District

Both "Healthy China" and "Healthy Shanghai" programs require construction and development of community public health services. Taking Jinshan District in Shanghai as a case study, this paper evaluates the status quo of community health services from the "demand-supply" perspective, and finds a remarkable difference in the needs among different age groups, a big gap between urban and rural areas in the coverage degree of facilities, and different challenges for public service at the "prevention – treatment – health care" stages. It further puts forward several planning strategies involving(1) specific service supply based on different age groups,(2) "15-minute health service cycles" in both urban and rural communities,(3) adjustment of facilities to local conditions, and(4) promoting the quality of health services. Furthermore, it discusses in-depth issues underlying planning policies, such as the innovation of service content, the integration of different plans, and the cultivation of health service needs.

Identifying Restructuring Types of Rural Settlement Using Social Network Analysis:A Case Study of Ezhou City in Hubei Province of China

Social interaction has become one of the key factors affecting the spatial reconstruction of rural settlements(SRRS).However,most studies ignored the multi-scale impact of social networks on the identification of restructuring types of rural settlements.This paper,taking Ezhou City of Hubei Province,China as the case study area,developed a potential inter-settlement network through considering settlements as nodes,and inter-settlement interactions induced by the spatial disparity of public facilities as edges,divided towns in Ezhou City into three zones based on community structure at the town level,and then identified four types of rural settlements in light of the characteristics of cluster patterns and centrality at the patch level.The results show that the inter-settlement network in Ezhou City presents apparent disparities in terms of community structure,cluster patterns and centrality.In community analysis,high inter-community and intra-community interactions are concentrated in well-developed areas in the north and east,while weak interactions between communities occur in the southern areas dominated by traditional agricultural production.Accordingly,three zones are divided such as the urban-leading zone,urban-rural integration zone and rural-leading zone.For the network centrality and cluster patterns,high-level rural settlements are mainly distributed in the urban-leading zone,followed by the urban-rural integration zone and the rural-leading zone.Moreover,the lump cluster pattern is observed in each zone,but the chain pattern and dispersed pattern largely occur in the rural-leading zone.At same time,four types of rural settlements are identified,namely urbanized settlements,central settlements,grassroots settlements and relocated settlements.The corresponding plans are discussed in different zones regarding urbanization,integration and characteristics to provide meaningful insights for policymakers to guide SRRS.This study would contribute to our understanding of the impact of social network involved in daily life on rural settlement reconstruction,and expect to provide theoretical and methodological support for rural sustainable development in practice.

城市住区公共服务设施与老年生活圈匹配规划研究

China entered an aging society in 1999 based on the United Nations’definition that an aging society is one where the population aged sixty and above accounts for more than 10 percent of the total population.Accordingly,community-based home care for older people has become a social trend and the main policy orientation of the urban elderly care service system.How to meet older people’s needs for living and caring services in urban residential areas is a major challenge for China to conduct urban redevelopment.This paper analyzes the supply-demand match of age-friendly public service facilities in communities based on the daily needs for public service facilities and the living circle characteristics of older people.Then it conducts an empirical study on typical residential communities in Suzhou and puts forward a hierarchical allocation strategy and improvement suggestions for age-friendly public service facilities in the self-sufficient community living circle,the near neighborhood living circle,and the urban expansion living circle.In addition,it proposes measures for improving the allocation of public service facilities in case communities in Suzhou through urban renewal.
