Socio-emotional Approach to Sustainable Development in Urban Settlement

这项研究的目的是调查与城市体验有关的个人和人际情绪、感受和价值观之间的联系；发现当局、公民和政策制定者如何解释、理解和谈判这种关系；并利用关于情绪的信息，确定除了从环境、经济和社会层面影响大众行为改变以实现更可持续的城市发展之外，可能促进或阻碍公众参与的关键因素。简而言之，这个项目不仅关注人类在城市背景下的感知及其与情感体验的结合，而且最重要的是评估这些因素对环境和社会的潜在影响。它侧重于将人们对城市环境的情感反应--即他们的情感反馈--整合到规划和发展过程中。研究目标取决于对可持续发展努力的主观性质的认识，以及我们自己对可持续发展的文化假设。本研究通过公民的社会和情感体验的视角关注城市宜居性的概念，旨在展示他们对环境的感知如何潜在地影响对可持续实践和生活方式的行为意图。为了在市民与城市空间的日常互动中发现这些情绪/感知，必须动员不同的工作/研究传统，扩大对城市的调查，以便充分了解人们对环境问题的情绪反应，以及这些反应随后如何影响他们的行为。考虑到这一目的，对城市生活条件、交通通讯、公共设施和审美环境等城市环境中人的感受和感知的测量和评估是提取情境情感信息的基础。本研究利用在特定城市社区进行的民族志田野调查，侧重于历史证据、访谈、定性研究以及人口和统计材料，并将众包和主观数据与取决于背景的空间实践形式相关联，旨在通过分析不断变化的居住模式、情感感知和内化的意义、规范和价值观来研究可持续文化的产生。

The aim of this study is to investigate the links between personal and interpersonal emotions, feelings and values in relation to urban experience; to discover how such relationship is construed, understood and negotiated by authorities, citizens and policy makers; and, using information on emotions, to identify key factors that may facilitate or hinder public participation, besides influencing mass behaviour change towards a more sustainable urban development along environmental, economic and social dimensions. In short, this project is concerned not only with the human perception in the context of a city, and its combination with emotional experience, but also and above all with the assessment of the potential environmental and social impact of these factors. It focuses on integrating people's affective responses - that is, their emotional feedback - to the urban environment into planning and development processes.The research goals rest upon the recognition of the subjective nature of sustainable development efforts, as well as our own culturally informed assumptions regarding it.This research focuses on the concept of urban liveability through the lens of citizens' social and emotional experience and aims to show how their perceptions of the environment have the potential to influence behavioural intentions towards sustainable practices and lifestyle. To detect these emotions/perceptions in the daily interaction between citizens and urban space, it is fundamental to mobilise different traditions of work/research and broaden the investigation of cities, in order to gain an informed, adequately articulated understanding of how people emotionally react to environmental issues and how these reactions subsequently affect their behaviour. With this purpose in mind, the measurement and assessment of human feelings and perceptions in terms of urban circumstances like living conditions, transport and communication, public facilities and aesthetic surrounding represent the basis for the extraction of contextual emotion information. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork conducted in specific urban neighbourhoods, focusing on historical evidence, interviews, qualitative research as well as demographic and statistical material, and correlating crowdsourced and subjective data with context-depending forms of spatial practice, this research aims to study the production of a sustainable culture through the analysis of changing residential patterns, emotional perceptions and internalized meanings, norms and values.
