Using street view images to examine the association between human perceptions of locale and urban vitality in Shenzhen, China

Chao Wu et al.

Summary: There is a strong correlation between the physical environment, human perception, and urban vitality. This study uses EasyGo data to analyze differences in daytime and nighttime vitality in Shenzhen, China, and calculates subjective and objective variables based on street view images to reflect human perceptions. The results suggest that urban vitality is influenced by the allocation of urban function, accessibility, building form, and human perceptions, with daytime and nighttime vitality showing distinct differences.

Designing pandemic resilient cities: Exploring the impacts of the built environment on infection risk perception and subjective well-being

Basar Ozbilen et al.

Summary: This study assesses the impacts of the built environment on subjective well-being and infection risk perception while traveling during the pandemic. The findings show that those living in more compact, accessible, and walkable neighborhoods are less likely to perceive active travel and shared micromobility as risky in terms of COVID-19 infection. The study indicates that built environment interventions can promote physical activity and support mental health, and designing compact neighborhoods will be crucial in building pandemic resilient cities.

Extracting human perceptions from street view images for better assessing urban renewal potential

Jialyu He et al.

Summary: Accurate and efficient assessment of urban renewal potential is crucial for project management. This study uses street view images to extract emotional and visual perceptions and construct a comprehensive indicator set for assessing multi-class urban renewal potentials. The assessment model based on this indicator set achieves the highest accuracy using a PBL-BPNN. Emotional perceptions contribute more to assessing renewal potential, showing stability in portraying the blighted built environment. Visually, lower values of greenness and imageability highlight the importance of greenspace and urban furniture in urban renewal. The results can support governments and planners in making efficient decisions.

Impact of pandemic proximity and media use on risk perception during COVID-19 in China

Shuhuan Zhou

Summary: This study conducted an online questionnaire survey to examine the differences in pandemic risk perception among different regions and social groups. The findings indicate that there is no regional difference in the perception of pandemic risk, but an increase in the number of relatives and friends infected with the virus leads to higher pandemic risk perception. The use of personal social media positively influences pandemic risk perception.

Are high-density districts more vulnerable to the COVID-19 pandemic?

Amir Reza Khavarian-Garmsir et al.

Summary: The study suggests that density alone is not a risk factor for COVID-19 spread, as seen in the case of Tehran where density did not explain the distribution of cases. Efforts should be made to reduce concerns about living in dense urban environments and encourage lifestyle changes and adherence to public health guidelines. Planners and policymakers are encouraged to continue promoting compact urban forms and use the study's results in developing mechanisms and guidelines for managing future pandemics effectively.
