Wdrażanie koncepcji miast krótkich odległości jako element budowy odporności współczesnych ośrodków osadniczych

Author(s): Dorota Rynio / Language(s): Polish Issue: 70/2024

The concept of short distance cities is implemented in centers of various sizes and eco-nomic status. Cities operate in a turbulent environment, which determines the need to shape their multifaceted resilience. Rapid changes taking place in the economy determine the need for cities to quick respond, adapt and counteract the negative effects of these changes. The aim of the study is to identify the possibilities offered by the implementation of the idea of short distance cities in creatinghe city’s resilience to contemporary challenges and to indicate the priorities determining the con-struction of multi-aspect resilience of Vienna and Wrocław contained in their strategic documents. Achieving this goal required answers to basic research questions:1. What are the characteristics of a short distance city and how does it function in contemporary conditions?2. What is the resilience of short distance cities?3. What are the basis for building the resilience of a short distance city on the example of Vienna and Wrocław?The implementation of the short distance city concept was analyzed in two cities, Vienna and Wrocław. The research objects were selected on the basis of similarities: cities in the EU (legal basis, city construction concepts), relatively large cities, green, the presence of a significant river resource. The research methods used in the study are: studies of literature and strategic documents, case study and the observation method. The study found that implementing the concept of short distance cities in an urban center is a process and supports the multifaceted resilience of the city, as is the case in Vienna and Wrocław.

Sosnovskio barščio (Heracleum sosnowskyi Manden.) paplitimas ir kontrolė Klaipėdos rajone

Author(s): Eglė Markaitytė / Language(s): Lithuanian Issue: 1 (53)/2023

Every year, new sites of unwanted plants are recorded. The best known invasive plant in Lithuania – Sosnowsky’s hogweed (Heracleum sosnowskyi Manden.) – is widespread in Klaipėda district. Its abundant thickets change the species structure of communities, especially in grassland habitats. In addition, the plant is hazardous to skin and human health and damages farm animals. Mass eradication is being carried out in Lithuania, but if the right control method is chosen, it can ensure a lasting result that prevents the further spread of Sosnowsky’s hogweed. The aim of this study is to compare the results of 3 years of eradication with an area where no intensive eradication has been carried out. The results showed that mechanical and chemical eradication is more effective than mowing alone. Recommendations have also been made that will allow a more careful choice of control measures to reduce the risk of spreading invasive plants.

Generalized Ordered Logit Model with Testing Assumptions: A Case Study of Using Urban Light Rail in Bursa

Author(s): Nurten Akgun,Tiziana Campisi / Language(s): English Issue: 3/2024

Logistic regression has been a widely used prediction technique to analyze categorical variables. However, if the assumptions are violated the results may be biased. The study in this paper applied an analytical technique namely generalized ordered logit model. A case study of using urban light rail under pandemic conditions was applied for the analysis. The results suggested that logistic regression should not be applied before exploring the multicollinearity and applying the test of parallel lines. If the assumptions are violated, generalized ordered logit model should be considered. Regarding the predictive variables, sociodemographic, socioeconomic and travel pattern, related variables were found to have a statistically significant impact on the perception of safety and infrastructure of urban light rail. The outcomes of the study would provide a deeper understanding of developing regression models for categorical variables for future studies.

Author(s): Jakub Klich / Language(s): Polish Issue: 19/2023

Socio ‑economic factors are an important part of sports development. Tarnów, as a significantindustrial center of the 20th century, was a convenient place for sports activities. The economic development of the Tarnów region in the 19th and 20th centuries laid the foundation for the establishment of a numerous football clubs, which enjoyed sporting success thanks to the favorable economic situation. Over time, Tarnów became an attractivelocation for launching industrial activities such as the Nitrogen Works and the MechanicalWorks, which are still an essential financial support for local football clubs. The chemicalindustry in Tarnów’s district – Mościce, functioned as early as the interwar period, being animportant center of Central Industrial District. Nowadays Tarnów county is characterizedby diverse industrial activity, with the most popular establishment being Bruk ‑Bet, whichhas been funding the local Nieciecza football club since the early 2000s. Bruk ‑Bet TermalicaNieciecza has become the most successful club from the Tarnów region over the past decade,helped by private investment by Bruk ‑Bet’s owners, including the construction of entiresports infrastructure facilities. The oldest football club in Tarnów – Tarnovia, was the mostsuccessful in the middle of the 20th century, which was influenced by the central support ofthe city government. The Tarnów region, characterized by diversity in the cultural spherebefore 1939, also enjoyed interest in sports among the Jewish community. The in terwarperiod was used by the Jewish population to organize sports and cultural events or run theirown football clubs, which had a positive impact on the local community.

Assessment of the Renovation Need, Material Authenticity, and the Cultural and Environmental Value of Historic Apartment Building Neighbourhoods

Author(s): Elina Liiva,Helena Rummo,Kateriin Ambrozevits,Andres Ojari,Siim Lomp,Targo Kalamees / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2024

Preserving the built heritage, maintaining the original exteriors of historic apartment buildings, and achieving today’s living standards and ambitious environmental objectives require a multidisciplinary approach encompassing cultural, economic, legal, social, environmental and historical factors. This study aims to assess the need for renovation and the cultural and environmental value of historic apartment buildings. Architects, conservators and civil engineers have been involved to evaluate the authenticity of materials and forms, their technical condition and suitability to the historic urban milieu across 19 building components. Our findings reveal significant replacement activities in various elements such as roof coverings, roof eaves, façades, stairwell windows, stairwells, exterior doors, and window and frame distribution, with a particular focus on materials rather than geometry. Notably, there is often a lack of original materials of the windows. When comparing materials and geometries, we observed a higher frequency of material replacement. While the immediate need for intervention may not be urgent, many historic apartment buildings are at risk of imminent material deterioration, necessitating timely renovation. The deep renovation approach, which extends the service life, enhances energy efficiency and indoor climate and restores the exterior aesthetics, offers a threefold benefit. However, aligning the current reconstruction requirements with the preservation of milieu values may remain ambiguous, leading homeowners to resist or overlook these obligations. Consequently, a culture of step-by-step (staged) renovation emerges, contributing to an eclectic appearance of the historically valuable area and promoting the use of inappropriate materials. In conclusion, this research emphasizes the importance of a holistic approach to building renovation, which yields architecturally superior and technically sustainable outcomes. The current study underscores the necessity for a shift in the authorized heritage discourse in Estonia. Rather than primarily imposing restrictive measures on construction and renovation projects, the focus should pivot towards effective communication of historical values. It is crucial to provide support and guidance (not restrictions) to building owners, designers and builders in this regard.

Author(s): Dmytro Chashyn,Yelyzaveta Khurudzhi,Mindaugas Daukšys / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2024

The construction industry of Ukraine shall not only recover but also upgrade, enhance and reevaluate existing building projects. Further research raises two pertinent issues for Ukraine - retrofitting and reconstructing destroyed infrastructure. The study's priority objective is to restore damaged and ruined buildings rapidly. It may be achieved using the creation of recovery methods in Ukraine and countries in the post-conflict stage of development. The research involves creating technical specifications for the product of a new version of the automated construction management system, which provides working with the software complexes based on the BIM model. The system implies using Building Information Modeling (BIM) and Artificial Intelligence of Things (AIoT) to make organization of reconstruction faster, better and less costly. The research has been held to demonstrate the viability of the approach. In addition, we acquire a reduction of energy consumption and an increase in the lifespan of the building by choosing retrofitting methods. The efficacy of BIM and IoT technologies enables the integration of contemporary demands to diminish design time and costs. These technologies also optimise design solutions by assimilating knowledge from previous building and structure designs. Additionally, they offer essential information support for the entire investment project life cycle.

RURAL ROMANIA IN THE NEW CAPITALISM: 1990-2020. IULIAN STĂNESCU & FLAVIUS MIHALACHE (EDITORS)

Author(s): Sebastian Fitzek / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2022

Authors and coordinators Stănescu Iulian and Mihalache Flavius capture a moving picture of the Romanian village, as it was inherited after the Romanian Revolution, transforming, and reinventing itself in an interesting story of an adventure between survival and authenticity of each land. The archetype of the Romanian peasant in the 21st century is the Odyssey of a lone wolf, alienated from the unitary vision of his mission of universality and at the same time motivated to live in the strangest challenges and in an endless European modernization. The coordination of such a volume is itself an adventure in the history of the most archaic place where Romanian-ness was born as a source of immortality and a return to the origins of a people tormented by the curse of finding own solutions to a global movement that has always caught it unprepared in its historical evolution. The authors who have subscribed to this volume are not just researchers, but voices that bring that mosaic of images to a complex picture, almost complete but never exhausted.

Depopulacja zespołów miejskich w sudeckiej części Dolnego Śląska

Author(s): Robert Szmytkie / Language(s): Polish Issue: 1/2016

The main object of this paper was the analysis of population changes which took place in the years 1995–2014 in the Jelenia Góra and Wałbrzych agglomerations. Current poor demographic situation of Jelenia Góra and Wałbrzych is caused by the negative economic, social and administrative changes, which occurred in the last decade of the 20th century. Depopulation of the both cities was not compensated by suburbanization of their hinterlands. This problem concerned the Wałbrzych agglomeration in particular. Low dynamics of suburbanization was caused there by a weakness of the economic base of local urban centres and by a negative image of the Wałbrzych city and the entire Wałbrzych Basin. A proximity of Wrocław city has also negatively influenced the demographic situation of both discussed agglomerations.

Rozwój miast metropolitalnych Polski w kontekście rozwoju zrównoważonego

Author(s): Agnieszka Dembicka-Niemiec / Language(s): Polish Issue: 5/2020

The aim of the work is to determine the level of sustainable development of metropolitan cities in Poland within its basic dimensions. Three main dimensions have been considered: social, economic and environmental, and spatial. A taxonomic method was used that allows the territorial units analyzed to be organized in a hierarchical manner. The levels of their development in particular dimensions were determined, taking into account the level of development as well as the structure of the features that describe them while identifying these features allows their distance from the ideal to be determined. The research was carried out across time analyzing four selected years: 2002, 2007, 2015, 2019. The local governments studied may be at different levels of development but may in fact have similar features or vice versa. Each of the cities examined is characterized by a large differentiation of the features describing them and a great similarity in terms of the levels of development achieved.

Author(s): Wiesława Kuźniar,Wiesław Szopiński / Language(s): Polish Issue: 01/2024

This article presents the possibilities of Generation Z inhabitants' participation in creating and promoting the city brand, based on the example of Rzeszów. A thesis was proposed that the young residents, representatives of Generation Z, are the leading group of city stakeholders who contribute to promoting its values and city branding. Against the background of theoretical deliberations on the process of city branding, article presents the results of a survey conducted in 2023 among young residents of Rzeszów. The results allow for determining the degree to which young residents identify with the city and show the areas of their active participation in city branding. Research has shown that young people do not fully identify with their city and often lack confidence in their ability to influence its development. Therefore, it seems advisable to intensify imagebuilding activities aimed at positioning Rzeszów as a perfect city for young people.
