Integrating Geodesign and game experiments for negotiating urban development

In this article we explore an expansion of geodesign to analyze processes of competition and cooperation by combining it with game-theoretical modelling and experiments. We test the applicability of facilitating these two fields in an integrated workshop by analysing the case study of oversupply of development sites in the Liemers corridor. Two workshops were held, with representatives of the six municipalities involved and with the regional and provincial authority, in which participants negotiated over the distribution of the supply of development sites. The workshops were performed around an interactive MapTable, with spatial information (from GIS) and financial information (from the game-theoretical model) being visualized in real-time. The integrated workshops were assessed to discover differences in terms of process and outcomes, and they examine whether and how learning takes place. We conclude that the combination of game theory and geodesign provides added value for planning support by facilitating a realistic discussion, and negotiation that is strongly connected to real-life locations, and by aiming at designing a common, collaborative solution. Through the integrated workshop learning about the problem of oversupply in financial and geographical terms and also about each other’s motives and behaviour is stimulated

Negotiating Land and Property Development: A Game Theoretical Approach to Value Capturing

Contains fulltext : 111736p.pdf (publisher's version ) (Closed access) Contains fulltext : 111736.pdf (author's version ) (Open Access)- Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to provide an understanding of how a phenomenon or process of collective action with regard to the negotiation in value capturing can be expected to happen in a certain way, which in the end could improve our understanding of value capturing implementation processes. - Design/methodology/approach – Game theory is utilized to model the structure of relations between the actors involved. Game theory is a mathematical approach to study collective decision-making situations in which the decision makers involved have conflicting preferences. Here, the authors consider the implementation of value capturing as the result of an agreement between a municipality and landowners to contribute to the costs of public infrastructure development which, in essence, is a form of collective action. - Findings – The paper is not only demonstrating the usefulness of game theoretical modelling in conceptualising relations between different stakeholders in the implementation of value capturing and suggesting the best possible strategy for every stakeholder; but also observing the limitations of the methods in analyzing the behaviour of actors involved in decision-making processes with respect to value capturing. - Originality/value – Unlike most of value capturing studies which focused on either a valuation point of view (how much value can be captured?), a governance or instrumentalist point of view (which instruments can be effective for value capturing?), or a political point of view (to whom belongs the increment value that is the result of government investments or decisions?) – this paper emphasizes an alternative perspective to value capturing, namely the decision-making or negotiation process underlying value capturing by relying on game-theoretical approach.18 p

Onderhandelen over value capturing

Contains fulltext : 121717.pdf (publisher's version ) (Open Access)In veel landen is de financiering van publieke infrastructuur onderwerp van discussie. Het debat heeft betrekking op de problemen voor overheden, die in het algemeen slechts over beperkte middelen voor de financiering van infrastructuur beschikken, om de gewenste infrastructuur te realiseren. De financiering van infrastructuur vindt grotendeels plaats op basis van belastinginkomsten. Afhankelijk van wet- en regelgeving vindt er daarnaast aanvullend soms kostenverhaal of value capturing plaats.10 p

Balikpapan: Urban planning and development in anticipation of the post-oil industry era

Contains fulltext : 160155.pdf (publisher's version ) (Closed access)Balikpapan has grown to become one of the most important cities in Indonesia, due to its oil industry. However, with the decline in oil production and the global decrease in oil prices, the city has attempted to diversify its industrial and service activity economy. This paper assesses three key factors underlying this transformation: public policies and regulations, urban infrastructure, and knowledge creation and utilisation. Future opportunities and challenges the city may face are also discussed. In the light of urban planning and development perspectives, this study can become a lesson for other cities, especially in developing countries, which some of them may overly rely on natural resources-based economy, to anticipate the transition period after an economic boom due to natural resource endowment and its price decrease.29 september 201

Transformation of Local People's Property Rights Induced by New Town Development (Case Studies in Peri-Urban Areas in Indonesia)

Contains fulltext : 221405.pdf (publisher's version ) (Open Access)New town development as a form of large-scale development is not a new phenomenon, particularly in developing countries. This development mainly takes place in peri-urban areas due to the high pressure caused by the growing population and the lack of facilities and infrastructure in city centres. As an effect, local communities who originally occupied the land often lose their rights over the property their livelihood might have relied on. Property rights can be grouped differently, classified according to different bundles: appropriation, ownership, and formality of rights. This paper investigates to what extent new town development in Indonesia has affected the property rights of local communities, in terms of the transformation of rights and security level. Moreover, it examines to what extent this transformation has been affected by urbanisation pressure. Ample attention is paid to the transformation of various bundles of rights concerning different usage of property, both residential and cultivated land. A total of 252 questionnaires were distributed to three different locations of new towns in Indonesia. A before-after analysis was employed to identify the transformation of the property rights and their security level, followed by multiple linear regression analysis to observe the influence of the urbanisation pressure to the security level. The research reveals that the transformation of property rights of local residents mainly concerns the appropriation rights. The analysis also indicates that there is a tendency that the security level decreases. Statistically, this appears to be affected by urbanisation pressure variables: type of land, land use, and occupation. With this study, we offer on the one hand a conceptual framework for assessing property rights, while on the other hand, we provide empirical evidence regarding the effects of new town development on property rights transformation and its security level

Commercial real estate investment in Ho Chi Minh City: a level playing field for foreign and domestic investors?

In Vietnam, similarly to other countries with the same system, transformation of the economy from one based on central planning into one founded on market principles, provides incomplete property rights in land and property markets. Nonetheless, cities like Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC) are experiencing strong growth in commercial property markets. Although the real estate market is still suffering from the recession in many parts of the world, commercial property development in HCMC is booming. This paper explores the present privatization process and the changing property rights regime related to the real estate market in Vietnam. Employing logistic regression analysis, this study also examines opportunities of foreign and domestic investors in the commercial real estate market in HCM city centre. The findings of this study show that there is not yet a level playing field for foreign and domestic investors, mainly caused by a different property rights regime for both groups of investors, especially related to land lease conditions. We also find that both groups invest in different categories of commercial real estate However, this does not necessarily lead to reduced foreign investment in Vietnam's real estate market, which means that the transition and privatization process in Vietnam is still moving in the right direction
