Stakeholder-rated methods

Stakeholder-rated methods are methods that can be used to make well-considered decisions regarding culture, ethics and legal aspects of security issues in urban development processes. This page is a reference page with results from stakeholder assessments of methods identified to address culture, social, ethics and legal aspects in urban planning.

List of requirements from VITRUV-related work
Here is the list of requirements from related projects and so far VITRUV work (in particular D1.1):
 * Identify and involve all relevant actors in the process of urban planning, including active citizen participation;
 * Consider the non-linearity based on the fact that in urban systems all phases of the crisis management cycle may be experienced simultaneously in different parts of the city;
 * Reflect that resilience in cities should be grounded in a holistic view of sustainability;
 * Appreciate individual perceptions of security (e.g. on the level of regional or national patterns);
 * Identify areas of concern and address them specifically, without extrapolating to the planning of the city as a whole;
 * Combine urban planning with raising of citizens' awareness;
 * Contribute to identifying individual as well as group-specific vulnerabilities and increasing resilience;
 * Based on the acknowledgement that public urban space is about living and evolving, not about being watched and observed, a planning tool must always allow ample space for later changes and adaptations;
 * Combine material aspects with social aspects of culture, processes built upon by the community safety approach that sees a general shift in political and public conceptions of security from situational prevention to safety of a community as a whole;
 * Contribute to adequate foresight and scenario modelling, taking into account citizens´ acceptance and acceptability of alternative futures.

These requirements have only started to be addressed as part of relevant national and European projects, such as: http://www.dynass-projekt.de/sicherheit-stadt/ http://www.queraum.org/pdfs/Info_MtN.pdf http://www.plus-eu.com/index.php?c=start&u=&l=en http://www.bezalel.ac.il/en/about/research/desurbs/ http://www.chance2sustain.eu/4.0.html
 * DynASS – Dynamic Arrangements of urban security culture
 * Meet the Need – How physical and social phenomena can cause insecurity; and what urban planning can do to tackle them
 * PluS – Planning urban Security
 * DESURBS – DESigning of safer URBan Spaces
 * Chance2Sustain – Urban Chances: City Growth and the Sustainability Challenge

Stakeholder validation study
A stakeholder validation study on security-related urban planning “missions” is in progress. Approach and results to be reported here are reflected in the below “raw” table that summarizes information on methods from this Wiki:
