The paper addresses the issues of place capacity for occupancy for rest and recreation in the context of peri-urban landscapes of high natural or cultural values. It sets these issues in the frame of bottom-up approaches, considering qualitative-, small- and slow-data-oriented methods and techniques, using observation & behaviour mapping. It focuses on designing the concept of a natural site’s carrying capacity and evaluating an area’s carrying capacity for specific use. It proceeds from a study conducted by Golicnik Marušic (2015), which showed the prudence of addressing the development and planning of green infrastructure from the perspective of user needs and habits. By including the concept of an area’s carrying capacity, it also incorporates the conservation aspect. Based on data obtained through observation and mapping, the article comments on current use and users in terms of their age, use of a place, frequency of activities, and type of activities in the case of Lake Podpec, a popular recreational site at the fringe of Ljubljana marsh, Slovenia.

Hitra urbanizacija ima številne negativne vplive na okolje in zdravje ljudi ter pomembno prispeva h globalnemu segrevanju. Eden izmed teh vplivov so tudi mestni to- plotni otoki, ki jih povzroča človekova dejavnost in so opredeljeni kot temperaturne razlike med mestnimi in okoliškimi območji. Zaradi hitre urbanizacije v zadn- jih desetletjih se Skopje spoprijema z izjemno močnimi učinki mestnih toplotnih otokov. Za proučevanje vloge pozidanih in zelenih površin pri nastanku površinskega mestnega toplotnega otoka je avtorica uporabila satelitske podatke Landsat ETM+, na podlagi katerih je analizi- rala temperaturo tal, in posnetke satelita Planet Scope DOVE visoke ločljivosti, na podlagi katerih je analizirala pozidane in zelene površine. Za geostatistične analize je uporabila 17 naključno izbranih podobmočij v Skopju. Izsledki raziskave kažejo pomembno povezavo med mestnim toplotnim otokom in pozidanimi površinami ter močno povezavo med zelenimi površinami in območji, na katerih ni mestnega toplotnega otoka, kar kaže, da se lahko učinek mestnih toplotnih otokov pomembno zmanjša z dodatnimi zelenimi površinami. Eden izmed pomembnih izsledkov raziskave je, da idealno razmerje med deležem pozidanih in zelenih površin, pri katerem je učinek mestnega toplotnega otoka šibek, v nekaterih primerih pa ga celo ni, znaša 40 : 60. Nadaljnje raziskave bi se morale osredotočati še na druge dejavnike, ki lahko vplivajo na nastanek mestnega toplotnega otoka.

Zamisel o skupnem prometnem prostoru (ang. living streets) se je razvila šele nedavno, upošteva pa se predvsem pri prostorskem načrtovanju in razvoju mest. Njena glavna namena sta zagotavljanje varnega dostopa za vse vrste prometa in s tem osredotočanje na splošni trajnostni razvoj mesta. Avtorji v članku proučujejo značilnosti glavnih prometnih žil v poslovnem središču Pešavarja z vidika koncepta skupnega prometnega prostora, na podlagi česar bi se lahko sprejeli ustrezni ukrepi za izboljšanje tega mestnega območja. Predpostavljajo, da trenutna infrastruktura skupnega prometnega prostora v poslovnem središču mesta ne zadovoljuje potreb različnih uporabnikov (nakupovalcev, stanovalcev, zaposlenih in ljudi, ki območje uporabljajo za rekreacijo). Da bi določili in analizirali osnovno javno infrastrukturo v poslovnem središču mesta, so opravili raziskavo, ki je vključevala opazovanje in anketo. Raziskava je razkrila težave, kot so hrup, onesnažen zrak, smeti, pomanjkanje ustrezne javne prometne infrastrukture in površin za pešce ter slabo upravljanje prometa. Anketiranci so izrazili močno nezadovoljstvo z zdajšnjo ureditvijo za pešce in parkiranje na ulici. Terenska raziskava je poleg tega pokazala, da površine za pešce ne zadovoljujejo potreb pešcev, pomanjkanje ulične opreme pa prebivalce odvrača od tega, da bi se bolj družili.

Seeking an optimum sustainable development strategy is a core objective of municipalities and innovative urban planners around the world. Various viewpoints and interests regarding the interface between ports and cities and the resulting extensive waterfront regeneration in principal seaports render spatial planning projects of this type complex to complete and obtain agreement on. For a modern city, port development is a principal source of influences and benefits related to ecology, society, and transportation. Currently, the world’s largest seaports are moving cargo terminals out of historical city centres. As a result, ports are assuming more advanced functions unrelated to the maritime industry, and thus projects that equitably share port territories will naturally gain momentum. The most significant projects for moving cargo ports out of historical town centres and regenerating port areas are found in European cities. To understand the various approaches, examples from European regeneration projects for port territories in Bilbao, Barcelona, and Oslo are presented, and their experience with various geographical and town-planning conditions is highlighted. This study is devoted to the Ukrainian port city of Odesa. It identifies the most successful strategy for developing the port-city interface under current economic and geopolitical conditions. It combines the ideas and studies of city planners in management, economics, and transport geography along with various policies and sociology aspects to provide new information and understanding aimed at ensuring the sustainable development of coastal cities in developing countries.

Residential self-selection in developing countries and its relation to urban transportation are understudied and not fully understood. This knowledge gap is even greater in the case of small cities in the developing world. This study takes Hafizabad, Pakistan as a case study with the objective of providing data for future quantitative analyses about residential location choices in small cities on the Indian subcontinent. A sample of 365 residents was interviewed from four neighbourhoods with a combined population of 19,042. This resulted in individual and household response rates of 1.92% and 12.65% and confidence levels of ±5.08% and ±4.79% for individual and household questions. The results show that the most important factors influencing residents’ decisions about moving are availability of utilities/services and affordable prices. Factors related to transportation, accessibility, and social issues, such as proximity to work and relatives, come next. The role of transportation in residential location choices in Hafizabad is less important in comparison to high-income countries. This finding shows how urban form can shape residents’ travel behaviour and suggests that small cities are more compact and walkable because about 40% of job-related trips are made by walking. The results of this study will help inform relevant government organizations about how to effectively devise policies for small cities because policies grafted from large metropolises might not work well at a smaller scale.

Iskanje najboljše strategije trajnostnega razvoja je glavni cilj lokalnih oblasti in inovativnih urbanistov po vsem svetu. Zaradi različnih pogledov in interesov so posegi na stiku pristanišča z mestom in obsežna regeneracija mestnega nabrežja med najzapletenejšimi urbanističnimi nalogami. Za sodobno mesto ima razvoj pristanišča nedvomno največje ekološke, družbene in prometne posledice in koristi. Največja svetovna morska pristanišča selijo tovorne terminale iz starih mestnih jeder in prevzemajo naprednejše funkcije, ki niso povezane s pomorstvom, projekti, pri katerih je delež zasebnih in javnih površin enakovreden, pa dobivajo čedalje večji zagon. Najopaznejši projekti umikanja tovornih pristanišč iz starih mestnih jeder in regeneracije pristaniških območij potekajo v evropskih mestih.

V raziskavi, predstavljeni v tem članku, se avtorja osredotočata na ukrajinsko pristaniško mesto Odesa, pri čemer poskušata določiti najuspešnejšo strategijo razvoja stika pristanišča z mestom v trenutnih gospodarskih in geopolitičnih razmerah. Z združevanjem zamisli in raziskav urbanistov s področja upravljanja, ekonomije in prometne geografije ter upoštevanjem politik in socioloških vidikov prispevata k boljšemu poznavanju in razumevanju te problematike, na podlagi česar se lahko zagotovi trajnostni razvoj obalnih mest držav v razvoju.

In highly industrialized and institutionalized societies aiming for maximum efficiency, individual activities must be synchronized with the daily rhythms of a city. As a spatial and institutional realm, the city imposes on people and influences their level of attachment, consequently altering their sense of home. This is most obvious in contemporary cities, where daily life involves movement, and where rest is often sought outside the living place, while on the move. By examining the spatial and temporal aspects of mobility of young Tokyo residents, this article explores how their sense of home and levels of attachment to the physical environment are affected by the city. It reveals a dynamic sense of home in which routes are more significant than roots and in which attachment is not restricted to a single location. Instead, it is understood as attachment to temporal and spatial relationships produced by the activities of people and institutions.

The idea of living streets has recently evolved and is currently being considered in urban planning and development for cities. The main purpose of the living streets concept is to provide safe access for all types of traffic, thus focusing on the overall sustainability of a city. This study investigates the characteristics of urban arteries in Peshawar’s central business district (CBD) from the perspective of the living streets concept to form a basis for policy measures that can be adopted to improve the CBD. The study hypothesizes that the living street infrastructure in the CBD does not accommodate the needs of various users (shoppers, residents, employees and those visiting for recreation). A field survey, including an observational survey and questionnaire, was conducted to identify and analyse basic public infrastructure in the CBD. Issues such as noise, air pollution, litter, a lack of appropriate public transit and pedestrian infrastructure, and poor traffic management were discovered. Strong dissatisfaction was recorded when the respondents were asked about current pedestrian and on-street parking arrangements. The field survey also found that the current pedestrian arrangements were insufficient for pedestrian needs, and the absence of street furniture discouraged community engagement in the study area.

The field survey also found that the current pedestrian arrangements were insufficient for pedestrian needs, and the absence of street furniture discouraged community engagement in the study area.","PeriodicalId":54093,"journal":{"name":"Urbani Izziv-Urban Challenge","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2019-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47792726","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Spatial data are directly linked to spatial planning, and to spatial management in general, including the property tax system. Spatial data quality impacts the efficiency of the property tax system, as well as its equity and reasonability. This article presents a methodological approach to analysing the quality of spatial databases managed by municipalities for assessing construction land fees. Adjusted Jaccard and Czekanowski indices were defined and applied for data quality analysis because they are applicable in cases in which differences between the data compared amount to less than 5%. The indices were used to establish the level of matching for areas of buildings and the unbuilt construction land in the municipal construction land fee assessment databases and in the real estate register. Based on an analysis of the completeness, logical consistency, and thematic accuracy of municipal construction land fee assessment databases, municipal databases were updated. Modifications to the municipal databases were analysed following updating in terms of the number of persons subject to construction land fee payment and the construction land fee amount payable. The results of the first study of this type have been obtained on a small sample, but the methodology is also applicable for analysis on a large sample or in all Slovenian municipalities. As such, the analysis may be of help to experts at municipal offices, spatial planners, and decision-makers in taxation policies.

V visoko industrializiranih in institucionaliziranih družbah, ki stremijo k čim večji učinkovitosti, morajo biti posameznikove dejavnosti usklajene z dnevnim ritmom mesta. Kot prostorsko in institucionalno okolje se mesto ljudem vsiljuje in vpliva na stopnjo njihove navezanosti na kraj, s tem pa posledično spreminja njihov občutek doma. To je najopaznejše v današnjih mestih, kjer je vsakdanje življenje zelo dinamično in se počitek pogosto odvija zunaj prebivališča (tj. na poti). S proučevanjem prostorsko- časovnih vidikov mobilnosti mladih Tokijčanov avtorja v članku analizirata, kako mesto vpliva na njihov občutek doma in stopnjo navezanosti na fizično okolje. Njune ugotovitve razkrivajo dinamičen občutek doma, pri čemer so poti pomembnejše od korenin, navezanost pa ni omejena samo na en kraj, ampak je razumljena bolj kot navezanost na časovno-prostorske odnose, ki jih ustvarjajo ljudje in ustanove s svojimi dejavnostmi.
