Summary
Details

"""Connecting Communities: A Mixed-Methods Analysis of Social Media Utilization in

Planning Practice by Sydney's Government and Communities"" offers an insightful

exploration into the evolving landscape of urban planning in the digital age. This in-depth

study examines the dynamic relationship between local government entities and

communities in Sydney, shedding light on how social media platforms have become

instrumental in shaping the city's planning practices and fostering community

engagement.

Utilizing a mixed-methods approach, the study delves into the multifaceted ways in which

social media is utilized by both the government and the residents of Sydney. Through

quantitative data analysis, it scrutinizes trends, patterns, and the reach of social media

campaigns initiated by the local authorities. Simultaneously, qualitative methods such as

interviews, surveys, and content analysis offer a nuanced understanding of the

perceptions, concerns, and aspirations of Sydney's diverse communities.

The study explores how social media platforms serve as virtual town halls, where citizens

can voice their opinions, participate in discussions, and actively contribute to the planning

processes. It investigates the impact of social media-driven initiatives on community

cohesion, public awareness, and the transparency of government decisions. Moreover,

the research probes into the challenges faced by both the government and citizens in

navigating the digital realm, addressing issues such as information overload,

misinformation, and digital divides.

With a focus on Sydney, this study provides valuable insights that extend beyond

geographical boundaries. It serves as a valuable resource for urban planners,

policymakers, and communities worldwide, highlighting the potential of social media as a

bridge that connects government entities and citizens. By fostering open dialogue,

enhancing civic participation, and fostering a sense of belonging, the study underscores

the transformative power of social media in shaping the future of urban planning practices

and strengthening the fabric of communities."
