The situation in Slovenia in terms of the accessibility of public buildings for functionally impaired persons is concerning. Most often people with disabilities already face barriers when accessing the building (no disabled parking available, stairs leading to the entrance into the building, thresholds that are too high, doors too heavy to open, handles set too high, etc.) and then in the building itself (staircases, unadapted lifts, insufficiently large toilets, etc.). To show potential barriers to the functionally impaired as well as the building owners and maintenance staff, a method is presented for inventorying building accessibility for the functionally impaired using online tools. The method relies on relevant universal accessibility legislation and standards, and it is important because it facilitates an accurate and comparable evaluation of potential barriers and adaptations already in place. Thus, it functions both as a multifunctional framework for evaluating the accessibility of all buildings, which provides an overview of and displays potential barriers to building owners and maintenance staff, and as a guide to building accessibility for the functionally impaired. Also presented is the method’s implementation in the online system for inventorying building accessibility, which makes it possible to monitor building accessibility for the needs of the functionally impaired and provides an overview of the barriers detected for the building owners and maintenance staff.

Today, the use of technological devices is commonplace among children, which has also diminished children’s presence in the city. Although children, as novel citizens, develop some of their skills (such as social, mental, and educational skills) in the city, many children face some kind of city exclusion. Therefore, the way the physical environment of their city is shaped and how children in - teract with it plays a principal role in child engagement. A child-friendly city can be a place to engage children using contemporary tools such as augmented reality (AR), which helps children communicate better and fosters abilities such as spatial cognition and physical and social skills in the physical and digital world. This study explores various examples and analyses the child-friendly city features of each. This article presents AR and its capabilities as a potential tool utilized in the city to pave the way toward a child-friendly mediated city – an inclusive social urban environment where children play or spend their leisure time and effectively mature into adulthood.

The ill-defined space between urban and rural areas is typically referred to as peri-urban landscape. One key reason for this lack of clarity is the unduly broad scale of conceptual and geographical resolution. This article focuses on its spatial elucidation at a sub-regional scale. It describes a method for delineating peri-urban landscape, based on spatial and demographic criteria. Arguably, spatially explicitly denoted peri-urban landscape on a sub-regional level would help in choosing appropriate local and regional planning approaches and policies for its development. The method, based on an overlay analysis, was tested using datasets from regional and municipal authorities in Ljubljana and Edinburgh. The results indicate that this less ambiguous spatial definition of peri-urban landscape offers a sound basis for planning and policy development.

Mehanizem javnega – tj. posameznikov v družbi in njihovih medsebojnih odnosov – je najbolje razviden iz bistvene prvine mest: javnega prostora. Do zdaj je bilo o tem opravljenih mnogo obsežnih raziskav na najrazličnejših področjih. V članku avtorici predstavita konstruktivno analizo raziskovalnih pristopov in metodologij, uporabljenih pri proučevanju etnične raznolikosti kot družbenega pojava v povezavi z javnim prostorom. Analizirali sta 1.079 raziskovalnih člankov, objavljenih med letoma 1995 in 2020 ter vključenih v informacijski sistem Web of Science. Bibliometrične podatke sta ročno filtrirali, scientometrično vizualizacijo pa sta izdelali v programu CiteSpace. Proučili sta, kako so uporabljene teoretične podlage, ter predstavili trenutne trende, vrzeli in pogoste metodološke pristope v analizirani literaturi, ki lahko prinašajo nova spoznanja, uporabna za nadaljnje multidisciplinarne raziskave. Izsledki njune raziskave razkrivajo dva osnovna načina teoretičnega pojmovanja obravnavane teme: pristop, ki se osredotoča na odnos med človekom in krajem ter temelji na proučevanju urbanistične in socialne politike, ter pristop, ki se osredotoča na odnose med ljudmi ter obravnava javni prostor kot dejavnik, ki te odnose omogoča.

V mednarodnem univerzitetnem okolju se ustvarjajo različne inovacije, med drugim tudi na področju oblikovanja vključujočih kampusov. V članku avtor proučuje ključne dejavnike prostorskega načrtovanja na urbanistični in arhitekturni ravni ter predstavi funkcionalna priporočila za oblikovanje kampusov, ki podpirajo dobro počutje in omogočajo kognitivni dostop osebam z intelektualno oviranostjo. Cilj je spodbuditi razvoj vključujočih okolij in okrepiti občutek pripadnosti kraju, pri čemer je poudarek na psihološkem in čustvenem zaznavanju univerzitetnega okolja. Avtor proučuje niz vključujočih načrtovalskih smernic in arhitekturnih tipologij, pri čemer se najprej osredotoči na dve zgodovinski univerzitetni prostorski paradigmi: križni hodnik in kampus. Nato proučuje rešitve, ki so lahko zgled za celostno načrtovanje kampusov in krepitev socialne vključenosti: učne skupnosti, razne tipologije prostorske kompozicije, človeško merilo, robove, naravo, estetiko in funkcionalne strategije. Na koncu predstavi, kako se lahko zadosti opisanim merilom, na podlagi česar se lahko kampusi bolj kakovostno načrtujejo in preobrazijo v vključujoča okolja, ob tem pa ponudi napotke za njihove izboljšave in prilagoditve najrazličnejšim uporabnikom.

The international university context is generating multiple dynamics of innovation. A relevant issue is the creation of inclusive campuses. This text studies keys to spatial planning on the urban and architectural scales and offers functional recommendations to create campuses that promote wellbeing and cognitive accessibility for people with intellectual disabilities. The goal is to inspire inclusive environments, promote an appropriation of the space, and reinforce a sense of belonging, emphasizing aspects such as the psychological and emotional perception of university environments. Based on this exploration, the text discusses a set of planning guidelines and architectural typologies with an inclusive scope. It begins by studying paradigms taken from the historical university legacy: the cloister and the campus. After this, the article focuses on aspects that inspire the integral planning of campuses to reinforce social inclusion: communities of learning, typologies of spatial composition, the human scale, edges, nature, the aesthetic component, and functional strategies. The text finishes by presenting a range of conclusions on how to supply those criteria and types so that campuses can be planned with higher quality with the goal of transforming them into inclusive environments, providing guidelines that can optimize them for all kinds of users.
