Abstract

The paradigm of sustainable resilient cities underscores the importance of how to withstand and rapidly recover from natural disasters, pandemics, or chronic stresses associated with increasing urbanization, environmental degradation, and climate change through the use of advanced technologies and data analytics. Access to urban green spaces is a key requirement for developing and maintaining a sustainable, resilient, and healthy city, as described in Sustainable Development Goal 11.7 and the Sendai Framework. Due to necessary triple inner urban development processes that creates multifunctional spaces in urban areas, the resulting vertical and horizontal densification often leads to an impairment of visual access to urban green spaces. Green window views, which reveal visual access to green spaces from buildings, provide a significant impact on multidimensional aspects of urban dwellers. Still, few studies present how this form of access, in its quantitative and qualitative complexity, should be operationalized into a tool for urban planning. Given socio-technical advances, crowdsourcing, as an increasingly popular participatory method for collecting and managing data, has the potential to contribute to the realization of inclusive planning by incorporating passive and active participatory processes and open-source standards. Therefore, this study aims to integrate key aspects of crowdsourced-based approach and window view accessibility analysis. By leveraging the power of crowdsourcing, we investigate the potential of Volunteered Window View Imagery (VWVI) for green window view analysis. Incorporating VWVI enables informed decisions by urban planners, ensuring resilient, inclusive, and accessible urban green spaces. This integration of VGI and window view analysis advances sustainable and resilient urban development.
