Socio-emotional Approach to Sustainable Development in Urban Settlement

本研究的目的是探讨个人和人际之间的联系，情感和价值观与城市经验;发现这种关系是如何解释，理解和谈判的当局，公民和政策制定者;并利用情绪信息来确定可能促进或阻碍公众参与的关键因素，除了影响群众行为改变之外，还应在环境、经济和社会方面实现沿着更可持续的城市发展。简而言之，该项目不仅关注城市背景下的人类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。它的重点是将人们对城市环境的情感反应-即他们的情感反馈-纳入规划和发展进程，研究目标基于对可持续发展努力的主观性质的认识，本研究从市民的社会和情感体验和目标的透镜出发，关注城市宜居性的概念展示他们对环境的看法如何有可能影响可持续做法和生活方式的行为意图。为了在市民和城市空间之间的日常互动中发现这些情绪/感知，动员不同的工作/研究传统并扩大对城市的调查是至关重要的，以获得人们对环境问题的情绪反应以及这些反应如何影响他们的行为的知情，充分阐述的理解。考虑到这一目的，测量和评估人类在城市环境中的感受和感知，如生活条件，交通和通信，公共设施和美学环境，是提取上下文情感信息的基础。本研究利用在特定城市社区进行的民族志实地考察，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依赖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、情感感知和内在意义，研究可持续文化的产生，规范和价值观。

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.
