Description | The extent to which ‘sense of place’ is considered during urban planning or during the planning and implementation of a specific project (unitless value) |
Scale as linked to D2.2 framework | - City
- Neighborhood
- Street
- Building
- Object
|
Data source [ link to data framework] | |
Data needs | - Design, implementation and features of an NBS project
|
Expected Outputs | - five-point Likert scale:
- Not at all — 1 — 2 — 3 — 4 — 5 — Very much
|
Calculation methods | - Design principles to foster a sense of place include preserving existing elements, ensuring safety and focusing on the creation of places that (Bosch et al., 2017):
- Are welcoming and respond to, or express the values of groups within the community for whom the place is designed;
- Are comprised of several physical and social settings for events and activities that make places pleasant and culturally relevant;
- Are scaled and proportioned to facilitate easy navigation, interaction and overview by the users; and,
- Have identifiable features, landmarks or historical places to enhance visual appeal and orientation.
- The extent to which a given NBS project has considered design for a sense of place can be qualitatively rated on a five-point Likert scale:
- Not at all — 1 — 2 — 3 — 4 — 5 — Very much
