| Abstract [eng] |
This research aims to analyse the principles of spatial formation and planning in modernistic housing areas and evaluate the level and reasons for their decay. It also aims to create conceptual proposals for emotion mapping to regenerate modernist neighbourhoods and examine the growth path. Urban public spaces were developed historically, adapting them to the public needs of those times. Shortages in urban planning resulted in problems connecting public spaces and population mobility. City residents solved the problem of proper public spaces by adapting existing spaces to their needs. Applying emotion mapping in these areas makes it possible to analyse how they adapt to the needs of the public and how they are engaged in changing the cityscape. Emotion mapping is a recent approach to assessing human mental states and people's emotional and behavioural interactions with objects. It can be used to design and maintain multicultural public spaces that are beautiful, inviting, and pleasant. The aim is to validate the hypothesis of using emotion mapping to solve the issues of modernistic housing area regeneration in Kaunas in the Soviet Period, create a conceptual model of emotion mapping usage, and apply it in the Dainava district experimental regeneration design. This research aims to test and analyse the impact of urban design on people through their emotional reactions to the urban environment, perform theoretical research on emotion mapping applications for urban planning and design purposes, analyse modernistic housing area development history, planning and design principles, and identity features, formulate a hypothetical model of emotion mapping usage for the regeneration of modernist housing areas, perform empirical research on the application of emotion mapping to assess the emotional impact of modernistic urban design and planning on residents' and other people's feelings, formulate a conceptual model of emotion mapping usage for the regeneration of modernist housing areas, propose experimental design solutions for the regeneration of Dainava district area, and create guidelines on how to use emotion mapping techniques for the regeneration and development of modernistic neighbourhoods on an urban scale. This study examined the theory of using emotion mapping to address the issue of modern urbanism in Kaunas from the Soviet Period. It used five techniques: questionnaire, sentiment analysis, space syntax, geotagged emotion mapping, and measurement of emotional intelligence. The results suggested urban-scale modernist community development and spatial renewal. The research found a connection between people's behaviour and space syntax indicators linked to sentiment analysis. The urban visual analysis helped to narrow and classify people's emotions towards their neighbourhood and focus on three aspects: buildings, streetscapes, and spaces between buildings. Emotion mapping was used to guide the development of architectural and communal areas, which led to the design of a regeneration path which was aimed at creating a green connection, performing the function of gathering the community and enhancing the architectural environment and emotional climate of the district. |
