Quality function deployment approach to urban ecological public art design centred on resident needs

Area of Science:

• Urban Planning and Design
• Environmental Art
• Decision Support Systems

Background:

• Effective quality management in urban ecological public art is crucial for resident satisfaction and sustainable urban development.
• Existing methods often fail to adequately capture and prioritize diverse resident needs in public art design.
• Urban renewal initiatives require integrated strategies for ecological public art to foster urban vitality.

Purpose of the Study:

• To introduce a novel decision-making model, Kano-FAHP-QFD, for improving quality management in urban ecological public art design.
• To prioritize urban residents' needs and assess their impact on public art design and resident satisfaction.
• To provide a framework for guiding the design and planning of urban ecological public art within urban renewal projects.

Main Methods:

• Development of a new Quality Function Deployment (QFD) framework combining the Kano model and Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (FAHP).
• Application of the Kano-FAHP-QFD model to rank urban residents' needs and their influence on ecological public art design.
• Validation of the proposed framework through an application case study in urban renewal.

Main Results:

• The Kano-FAHP-QFD model effectively prioritizes resident needs, aligning them with urban ecological public art design strategies.
• The framework demonstrates significant impact in defining quality management and enhancing resident satisfaction.
• Case validation confirms the model's utility in guiding urban renewal through ecological public art.

Conclusions:

• The proposed Kano-FAHP-QFD model offers a robust approach to enhancing urban ecological public art design by centering on resident needs.
• This integrated framework supports sustainable urban development, urban renaissance, and improved urban vitality.
• The study provides a novel methodological contribution and future research directions for urban ecological public art.
