Quy hoạch Cộng đồng

Vào mùa xuân năm 2024, sinh viên cao học từ Khoa Quy hoạch Đô thị và Khu vực của Đại học San José Capstone Studio về khóa học Quy hoạch Cộng đồng đã hợp tác với văn phòng của Phó Thị trưởng San José và Đại diện Quận 1 Rosemary Kamei để hoàn thành việc đánh giá và triển khai một bộ khuyến nghị sơ bộ cho khu vực xung quanh Làng đô thị Paseo de Saratoga. Nhóm Đánh giá Cộng đồng trình bày một cuộc khảo sát toàn diện về khu vực nghiên cứu Three Places, một môi trường đô thị độc đáo nằm tại giao lộ của các thành phố San José, Saratoga và Campbell.

Chương một giới thiệu mục đích và mục tiêu của dự án. Chương hai miêu tả sơ lược về đặc điểm dân số và kinh tế xã hội trong khu vực nghiên cứu, hệ thống pháp lý thực tiễn thuộc thẩm quyền của ba khu vực, và kế hoạch phát triển khu vực trong tương lai. Chương ba thảo luận về những phương pháp và kết quả nghiên cứu của việc đánh giá cộng đồng, xác định các đề tài chính về tính di động và an toàn, sự năng động kinh tế, và quá trình sáng tạo địa điểm. 

Cơ sở hạ tầng giao thông của khu vực này thiên về giao thông ô tô, ít quan tâm đến người đi bộ, người đi xe đạp và người sử dụng phương tiện giao thông công cộng. Sự mất cân bằng này góp phần gây ra các mối lo ngại về an toàn, làm giảm khả năng đi bộ và hạn chế khả năng tiếp cận chung của khu vực. Hơn nữa, chi phí sinh hoạt cao, cùng với sự khác biệt đáng kể giữa các đơn vị nhà ở do chủ sở hữu và người thuê nhà chiếm giữ, đặt ra những thách thức về khả năng chi trả và khả năng tiếp cận nhà ở. Rào cản kinh tế này đe dọa làm trầm trọng thêm các vấn đề về di dời và chênh lệch kinh tế xã hội. Mặc dù có một số tiện ích công cộng nhất định (ví dụ: công viên khu phố, cửa hàng tạp hóa và công viên dành cho chó), nhưng chúng thường bị cô lập và không được tích hợp tốt vào cấu trúc đô thị rộng lớn hơn, làm giảm tác động tiềm tàng của chúng đối với phúc lợi và sự gắn kết của cộng đồng.

Chương bốn trình bày quy trình và kết quả của quá trình gắn kết cộng đồng. Nghiên cứu cho thấy cư dân rất mong muốn có những phương pháp tham gia cộng đồng hiệu quả và toàn diện hơn để đảm bảo sự phát triển phù hợp với nhu cầu và giá trị của cộng đồng. Chương năm liệt kê các Khuyến nghị cho Khu vực Nghiên cứu — tổng cộng chín khuyến nghị, được chia thành ba loại dựa trên kết quả đánh giá và quá trình tham gia cộng đồng.

1) Di chuyển và an toàn

2) Xây dựng không gian cộng đồng và sức sống kinh tế 

3) Xây dựng đội lãnh đạo nòng cốt và tăng cường tiếng nói của cộng đồng

Chương sáu, Tiếp nối Dự án, liệt kê những thành tựu đã đạt được và đề ra những bước kế tiếp để các sinh viên trong học kỳ tới tiếp tục công việc của chúng tôi.

Khu vực Ba Địa Điểm, tuy giàu tiềm năng về hoạt động kinh tế và sự đa dạng, vẫn đang đối mặt với những thách thức lớn về khả năng tiếp cận giao thông, an toàn cho người đi bộ, và thiếu các yếu tố đặc trưng của địa điểm cũng như sự liên kết để giúp hình thành ý thức về bản sắc và gắn kết cộng đồng. Khu vực này hiện đang đứng trước ngã rẽ, sẵn sàng cho sự chuyển đổi.

“The flagship project for year 1 of CommUniverCity was a community planning project to update the FWBT (Five Wounds/ Brookwood Terrace) neighborhood priorities for both the city’s SNI program and CommUniverCity projects. Over the course of the 2005-2006 academic year, eighteen master’s students in urban and regional planning, under the leadership of Professor Dayana Salazar and Paul Pereira of the City’s Strong Neighborhoods Initiative, worked with over ninety FWBT residents to update priorities for neighborhood projects. Completing over three thousand hours of service, students assembled research data on the current state of the neighborhood and the progress toward meeting priorities set five years previously, interviewed residents and city staff, and presented their preliminary findings to the community as a basis for subsequent planning. This was followed by three community workshops in which residents, supported by students, professors, and city staff, developed recommendations for future priorities and conducted an elaborate voting process to determine the top ten projects for FWBT. Resident participation more than doubled from the first round of goal setting in 2001—from forty-three to ninety participants—and FWBT was the first of the nineteen SNI neighborhoods to update its action plan. Once the residents agreed on priorities, they became the basis for city and CommUniverCity programming in FWBT.”

2014-2015: East Santa Clara

CommUniverCity partnered with the City of San José and 67 Urban Planning students to help prepare the East Santa Clara Urban Village Plan. East Santa Clara Street is a major thoroughfare in Central San José, and serves as the principal connector between East San José and Downtown. The City of San José has designated a portion of this street as a future “Urban Village”. Stretching from City Hall to the banks Coyote Creek, this section of East Santa Clara boasts an abundance of historic sites, mom and pop shops, and vivid local character. 

According to the San José 2040 General Plan, the goal of an Urban Village is to funnel future jobs and housing into a walkable, bike-friendly, mixed-use area with plenty of recreation and open space. Students did a thorough assessment of the area and organized a series of community workshops, aimed at gathering public opinion on the future development of this busy street.

2016-2017: Northside Neighborhood

In the San José Northside Neighborhood, SJSU urban planning, sociology and political science students reached out to assess the current neighborhood conditions and document residents’ perceptions of their communities. 135 SJSU students conducted and completed 311 door-to-door surveys designed to capture resident’s perceptions of their community. SJSU students presented their survey findings along with a comprehensive neighborhood assessment to the community in an open house format at Grant Elementary School.

During the project, students worked with the businesses along 13th street to identify key issues and concerns. According to feedback and research, the residents wanted familyfriendly areas and businesses where they could spend time and hang out with neighbors. In response, the students installed a temporary curbside café in front of Rollo’s Donuts to have traffic slow down, give residents a place to sit, help make the area friendlier to pets, and provide businesses in the area more foot traffic.

2017-2018: Delmas Park Neighborhood

San José’s Delmas Park neighborhood is home to approximately 1,600 people living in homes and scattered apartment complexes and condominium buildings within walking distance of the Diridon rail station, the SAP Center, and the Children’s Discovery Museum in downtown. It is also at the center of the planned Google downtown village, where an estimated 15,000 to 20,000 employees will work and live. This year, over 75 SJSU students reached out to assess current neighborhood conditions and gauge residents perceptions of and aspirations for their community through door-to-door surveys, visual evaluations, focus groups, and public meetings. 

In partnership with the Delmas Park Neighborhood Association and the San José Learning Center, SJSU students also organized a ‘pop-up’ park event showcasing the results of their data collection and analysis. Working together, students and neighborhood leaders helped build relationships between homeowners and renters, promoted local businesses, and assisted residents in identifying high priority infrastructure and community-building needs.

2018-2019: Downtown to Diridon

Over the next 20 years, Downtown San José will undergo major changes as a result of new developments, transportation investments, and Google’s planned urban village complex. A collaboration between SJSU’s Urban and Regional Planning Department Community Planning (URBP295) course students led by Richard Kos, Jason Su, and staff of the City of San José, engaged and gathered feedback from community members and stakeholders through various engagement strategies such as focus groups and open houses. 

Throughout the school year, SJSU students assessed neighborhoods around Diridon Station and hosted a culminating Community Open House for residents to partake in. 

The Urban Planning students identified opportunities for improved mobility connectivity between Diridon Station and the downtown area. The feedback they received ranged from utilizing open space to fixing unprotected crosswalks to more eateries and cafes. 

The open houses created fun, collaborative environments for community members and stakeholders to identify existing assets and neighborhood priorities in the Diridon Station Area. The data collected by SJSU students will be used to advocate for community-specific needs during the development process and to guide infrastructure investments. In addition to the Community Open House, a comprehensive Community Assessment Report was produced for City staff and the community.

2019-2020: Alum Rock Corridor

Faculty Leads: 

Rick Kos, Jason Su

Urban & Regional Planning

The Alum Rock corridor of East San José is facing enormous development pressure. As home to some of the only affordable housing and business space left in Silicon Valley, residents and business owners alike are concerned about displacement. In recent years, over 50 local family-owned businesses have been forced to close. 

This year, CommUniverCity partnered with the City of San José’s District 5 office, Futuro de Alum Rock, and SJSU students to undertake a cooperative effort in performing a robust community assessment along the Alum Rock corridor. This Fall, more than 80 attendees participated in 6 separate activities led by the students designed to raise awareness of development issues in the community and solicit the feedback of residents. Residents spoke the need to improve infrastructure, schools, transportation, and overall safety in underutilized areas. 

The graduate student team in Spring continued the work of the Fall class by focusing on the amenities and neighborhood improvements that are important to the residents, with the purpose of developing a comprehensive list of potential amenity investments for new developers. Due to COVID-19 and the shelter-in-place order, the graduate student team pivoted engagement methods to remote video sessions and one-on-one phone interviews. 

A special thanks goes to the community, the Alum Rock Urban Village Advocates, and our partners within the City of San José, the office of District 5 Councilmember Magdalena Carrasco, the city’s Department of Housing, Department of Transportation, and the Department of Planning, School of Arts and Culture at the Mexican Heritage Plaza, SOMOS Mayfair, Catholic Charities of Santa Clara County and AARP.

2020-2021: Reimagining the Civic Commons & Alum Rock

Faculty Leads: 

Richard Kos, Jason Su

Urban & Regional Planning

Central San Jose and the Alum Rock corridor of East San Jose face enormous development pressure. For example, Alum Rock is home to some of the only affordable housing and business space left in Silicon Valley. Residents and business owners alike are concerned about displacement. In recent years, over 50 local family-owned businesses have been forced to close. Additionally, green space in the city is at a premium, but often goes unutilized due to perceived safety issues or lack of cleanliness.

 In Fall 2020, the students and faculty partnered with the Guadalupe River Park Conservancy and a national effort called Reimagining the Civic Commons to conduct physical assessments and administer hundreds of surveys to people using the Guadalupe River Park. The park runs alongside the Guadalupe River and offers visitors an environmental education center, community garden, and 2. 6 miles of walking and biking trails. 

Data collected by the students will be part of the research directing municipal and regional investment to transforming the park into a key physical green asset that connects two sides of downtown which are currently kept separate by a highway overpass. 

In spring 2021, SJSU Masters of Urban and Regional Planning students conducted a local business assessment and visioning process with business owners, employees, customers, residents, and other relevant organizations. The assessments will help guide future business development, community investment and urban planning decisions. In March, customer surveys were conducted at Wash America. A second customer survey event was held at the Mexican Heritage Plaza. The class organized two forums for project partners and stakeholders to display the progress that the students made throughout the semester and get feedback on how to improve their analysis of assets and issues in a way that reflects community knowledge.

We need to continue to search on what the unified messages are, what resident’s concerns are, to push for affordable housing, telling these messages to the developers with visual media and explanations.

2021-2022: Guadalupe River Park Conservancy

Faculty Leads: 

Rick Kos, Ahoura Zandiatashbar

The Guadalupe River Park Conservancy (GRPC) sought to understand the challenges that park users face at the Guadalupe River Park. WIth the assistance of the SJSU urban planning graduate capstone studio class, surveys were administered to existing park users.

To begin planning the project, SJSU professors of the capstone studio graduate course, Rick Kos and Ahoura Zandiatashbar, began regularly, weekly, check in meetings that offered space for CommUniverCity to 

work closely with Sarah from the Guadalupe River Park Conservancy and the professors to determine walk through tour dates. We were able to determine best dates for a tour of the park to allow students to understand the existing park infrastructure. We also added a date to visit the Recovery Cafe. The Cafe served to assist students in understanding the depth of the challenges faced by homeless populations, considering that the Park hosts a great number of the city’s unhoused residents.

2022-2023: Guadalupe River Park Conservancy & Reimagining the Civic Common

Building off the initial phase of research completed in the Fall of 2020, 16 graduate students in San Jose State’s Regional and Urban Planning Department, in partnership with the Guadalupe River Park Conservancy, completed the second phase of a three-year initiative spearheaded by Reimagining the Civic Commons (RCC). The second phase of research evaluated the value of investing in GRP using intercept surveys and direct observations to collect the second round of data for RCC’s four goals (Environmental Sustainability, Civic Engagement, Value Creation, and Socioeconomic Mixing). In addition, findings from 2020 were compared to findings from 2022 to identify any trends or changes within GRP.

The City of San José has embraced the complete streets concept with tweaks based on context. The contextual approach allows for adaptability based on the street’s purpose for highest users. This approach is necessary on a street like East Santa Clara Street, which has been designated as a “Grand Boulevard”. The designation of Grand Boulevard lends East Santa Clara Street to prioritizing transit and transit passengers.

 The designation includes features such as bus lanes, high visibility crosswalks, bus stop shelters, wayfinding, outside furniture, and wide walking paths. For the spring 2023 semester, students in the San Jose State University’s Master of Urban Planning program partnered with the City of San José to study the corridor, connect with active users and the surrounding community, and develop a set of recommendations for integrating a complete streets vision along East Santa Clara Street. East Santa Clara Street is a transit corridor connecting the Almaden neighborhood to the Alum Rock Neighborhood while running directly through Downtown. Along the corridor, there are a number of notable destinations such as the SAP Center, Diridon Station, San Pedro Square, and City Hall. Amongst the thousands of diverse residents, the downtown corridor is a highly trafficked section of San José. The project was split into two phases: existing conditions (phase one) and visioning and recommendations (phase two).
