This study discusses drone-based spatial video projection (D-SVP) as a digital alternative to revitalize under-valued public open spaces (UVPOSs). Spatial video projection is a projection-based augmented reality technology that enables the projection of visual content over 3-D objects of any scale. D-SVP is an integrated system suggested by this study where the drone will be supported by data collection and projection devices, which means that D-SVP works for both the data collection and showing at once.

It discusses spatial video projection (SVP) as a digital do-it-yourself (DIY) paradigm for UVPOS revitalization. The application of tricycle SVP is suggested as a model for this paradigm. As a result, this research conceptualizes the SVP as a digital DIY paradigm for UVPOS revitalization and identifies the main components that must be achieved and integrated with the city's official planning and design systems.

In Palestine, the problem of such spaces is evident in its cities in general and in the twin cities of Ramallah and Al-Bireh in particular. In their downtown the phenomenon of leftover and ignored spaces is clearly demonstrated, and they cover a large area of land that was forgotten during the last 6 decades and no concrete action was taken to improve them. This paper is to explore, analyze and discuss these forgotten spaces and to propose a proper improvement framework for their regeneration. To do so, four folds methodology was used based on historical and archival research, theoretical review, fieldwork and interviews with stakeholders.

This situation has led to studies examining the interaction between digital technologies and different academic disciplines in many study areas. In terms of spatial planning and design disciplines, this study focuses on spatial video projection (SVP). Through bibliometric analysis, this paper aims to identify and locate an assortment of SVP technologies and contemporary urban public open spaces (POSs) within the global research landscape. Utilizing WOS, Scopus, and the VOSviewer software, a 6-phase process is used to evaluate the current research landscape. The phases include: identifying groups of keywords for cross-examination within the manuscripts; exploring words inside articles with their dominancy levels and linkage clarity through bibliometric analysis; developing a grading technique regarding dominancy levels; grouping graded words into thematic fields; calculating ov...
