T.U.R.F - The Urban Food Factory, a web-based decision support for adaptive reuse of urban car parking structures with controlled environment agriculture

The data are the result of research conducted under Agreement No. UMO-2023/05/Y/HS4/00112 for the implementation and funding of the research project entitled T.U.R.F – The URban Food Factory (Urban Food Factory) – A guide supporting decision-making on the adaptation of multi-storey urban parking structures for food production in a controlled environment, carried out under the BTC ENUTC Call 2023 competition. The dataset was generated using a multi-method research design consisting of:1.      Systematic Literature Review (SLR)Conducted according to PRISMA guidelines, synthesizing peer-reviewed research (2018–2024) on the contribution of adaptive reuse of buildings to Sustainable Development goals. The review informed variable selection and the development of the conceptual framework.2.      Empirical Case StudiesStructured data collection from selected European parking structures (Sweden and Poland), including:·      Photographic documentation·      Architectural and spatial analysis·      Structural and infrastructural characteristics·      Regulatory and planning conditions3.      Semi-Structured Interviews with Decision-MakersInterviews with urban planners, municipal representatives, property owners, and developers. Transcripts were thematically coded to identify governance frameworks, barriers, feasibility criteria, and institutional readiness.4.      Participatory and User-Centered Design MethodsWorkshops and design sessions generating structured requirements, scenario parameters, and functional criteria for adaptive reuse and indoor agriculture systems.5.      Speculative Design and Futures ThinkingSpeculative design and futures thinking were used to develop scenarios for the adaptive reuse of the selected case studies for controlled environment agriculture. One of the scenarios for each case study was presented as an interactive 3d model and animation.Geographic CoverageSelected European cities (including case studies in Sweden and Poland).Temporal CoverageLiterature review: 2018–2024Empirical and qualitative data: Project research period
