Cities are complex systems that require efficient data management in terms of daily information on tourist flows and other elements of spatial mobility. In this context, many professional discussions address the need to improve the conventional spatial planning system in light of the current challenges of a new society. Technological innovations and approaches such as Urban Digital Twins represent useful tools that allow detailed analysis and visualization of visitor flow in different scenarios. With this research, the aim is to find out the applicability of such an innovative approach in the process of spatial planning. Understand visitor flows as a complex system of interactions that take place along specific paths in the urban environment and depend on the mobility of tourism and the capacity of existing infrastructure. At the same time, this technology allows for the identification of the behavioral patterns of individual agents with the spatial configuration of the coastal area. In this way, it is possible to plan measures to avoid conflicts caused by coastal overcrowding. A theoretical and simulation approach that integrates visitor behavior patterns is used to represent the dynamic characteristics of digital twins. The concrete case study was conducted in individual zones of the Slovenian coastal zone. A simulation of visitor flows and short-term mobility, determined by pedestrian flows and road traffic flows, was created. This approach creates a framework for urban planners and other interest groups in the direction of a better understanding and use of new technological tools in optimizing urban spatial planning.

Abstract

Mesta so kompleksni sistemi, ki zahtevajo učinkovito upravljanje s podatki glede dnevnih informacij o turističnih tokovih in drugih elementih prostorske mobilnosti. V tem okviru obstajajo številne strokovne diskusije, ki naslavljajo potrebo po nadgradnji konvencionalnega sitema prostorskega načrtovanja v luči aktualnih izzivov sodobne družbe. Tehnološke inovacije in pristopi, kot je Urban Digital Twins, predstavljajo novodobna orodja, ki omogočajo podrobno analizo in vizualizacijo pretoka obiskovalcev po različnih scenarijih. Z raziskavo želimo ugotoviti uporabnost takšnega inovativnega pristopa v procesu prostorskega načrtovanja. Tokove razumemo kot kompleksen sistem interakcij, ki se odvijajo po določenih poteh v urbanem okolju in so odvisni od mobilnosti turizma in zmogljivosti obstoječe infrastrukture. Ta tehnologija nam hkrati omogoča prepoznavanje vedenjskih vzorcev posameznih deležnikov in anliziranje prostorske konfiguracije obalnega območja. Tako nam pomaga pri načrtovanju ukrepov za preprečevanje konflktov, ki se pojavijo kot posledica prenatrpanosti obale. Teoretični in simulacijski pristop z integracijo vzorcev obnašanja obiskovalcev se uporablja za prikaz dinamičnih lastnosti v obliki digitalnega dvojčka. Konkretna študija primera je bila izvedena v posameznih conah slovenskega obalnega pasu. Izdelana je bila simulacija tokov obiskovalcev in kratkoročne mobilnosti, ki jo določajo tokovi pešcev in tokovi cestnega prometa. Ta pristop ustvarja okvir za urbanistične načrtovalce in ostale interesne skupine v smeri boljšega razumevanja ter uporabe sodobnih tehnoloških orodij pri optimizaciji načrtovanja urbanega okolja.
