The term “community planning” appears in various disciplines. Perhaps, there is no universal definition that would be accepted by all scholars given the broad meaning of “community”, the changing players and the evolving approaches of urban planning. “Community” usually refers to people, place and the ties between people in those places. Planning was once the actions of governments for the common well-being of a place. However, in recent decades, a movement of citizen/NGO participation has deepened the practice. According to research that analyzed a total of 1,681 articles with the keyword “community planning” published from 1999 to 2014 in the fields of “Planning Development”, “Geography” and “Urban Studies” in Web of Science databases, the most discussed themes were “collaboration and participation”, “physical planning at the community level”, “special community” (such as gated communities), “safety”, “emotion and identity” (such as the feeling of belonging), “sustainable development”, “revitalization”, and “application of GIS” (Yuan, Liu, & Lin, 2015). In this sense, all the seven articles included in this special issue well fit the meaning of “community planning”.

机译：术语“社区规划”出现在各个学科中。也许，鉴于“社区”的广泛含义，不断变化的参与者和不断发展的城市规划方法，没有一个普遍的定义会被所有学者接受。 “社区”通常是指人，地方以及这些地方的人与人之间的联系。规划曾经是政府为某个地方的共同福祉而采取的行动。但是，近几十年来，公民/非政府组织参与的运动加深了这种做法。根据研究分析了1999年至2014年间在Web of Science数据库中“规划发展”，“地理”和“城市研究”领域中使用“社区规划”关键字发表的1,681篇文章，讨论最多的主题是“合作与参与”，“社区一级的物理规划”，“特殊社区”（例如封闭式社区），“安全”，“情感和认同”（例如归属感），“可持续发展”，“振兴”和“ GIS的应用”（袁，刘和林，2015年）。从这个意义上讲，本期特刊中包含的所有七篇文章都完全符合“社区规划”的含义。
