Description
Summary:This study derives design elements for urban regeneration in the autonomous vehicle era through literature review and interdisciplinary discussions and prioritizes the design elements via expert survey and hierarchical composite analysis. The derived design elements were organized into five regeneration categories ―environment and landscape (EL), transportation and technology (TT), resource and energy (RE), society and culture (SC), and economy and industry (EI)― each with six design elements and their priorities were analyzed in relation to ten urban spatial types classified under four criteria. The most prioritized element among the 13 composite weighted design elements was inclusive design (TT1), followed by smart infrastructure (TT3), pedestrian friendly street (EL4), public open space (EL3), and renewable energy (RE3) with regards to spatial types of parking only (H), transportation infrastructure (J), and lower floors (B). This study contributes to the growing body of research on renewal of vehicle-occupied space in the autonomous future, thus assisting in the practical implementation of sustainable urban regeneration.
