"MAPE STEREOTIPA" KAO DUHOVITO-OPAKI PROIZVOD:FOLKLORIZACIJA I KOMERCIJALIZACIJA ETNIČKIH PREDRASUDA U INTERNET PROSTORU

Author(s): Dragana Antonijević,Ana Banić Grubišić / Language(s): Serbian / Issue: 1/2013

"Maps of stereotypes", whether they are made for commercial purposes created by Bulgarian designer Yanko Tsvetkov or have been created by anonymous authors, has become extremely popular in Cyberspace in the last two years. They are transmitted via e-mail communication or via social networks and the web pages which host this kind of maps attracts millions of visitors. Their intended humor has it vicious side: in the form of joke they provide folklorized prejudices about nations and states, and at the same time they cemented them as fixed images, ethnic labels and essentialized notions in consciousness and conception of the numerous Internet audience. From the multicultural perspective and its necessity for negotiating the diversity of identities who are supposedly susceptible of change, these stereotypical maps by utilizing cleverly constructed notions express the complete opposition: the characteristics of the people and of the state of a particular historical and political period are essencialized, offering as a "truth" the point of view of the sender without the possibility of the message recipient to respond in other ways than to press the "like button" or to show "silent" revolt or, even, by creating the "contra-map" with similar humorous and vicious content. In this paper we will examine the phenomenon of so called maps of stereotypes and ascribed notions of Serbia within political and geographical territory of former Yugoslavia and the Balkans.

Aktywność społeczna mieszkańców gmin województwa lubelskiego, w których realizowano prace scaleniowe gruntów rolnych – studium przypadku

Author(s): Małgorzata Dudzińska / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 4/2016

Agricultural land consolidation affects the development of rural areas. He FAO [2008] classifies land consolidation impacts at three levels: first, there is the micro-level, where land consolidation aims focus on changing the farm structure. Secondly, there is the meso-level, where land consolidation has broader aims for changing rural communities by improving infrastructure, the natural environment, management of natural resources, landscape and, consequently, the spatial distribution of economic activities. Finally, there is the macro-level, where the focus is on changes which can positively affect the whole country, by reducing the disparities between rural and urban areas. According to Dacko [2006], the main goal of land consolidation should be to improve the quality of rural life, and not only to increase agricultural production. Land consolidation measures should be initiated to revive the countryside by encouraging continuous economic and political development of the local community, while protecting and rationally managing natural resources. He local community should participate democratically in land consolidation and in defining new forms of land use that make the most of the local potential. Therefore, the passage of time has brought about changes to the wider perception of consolidation work – not only in the strictly technical and economic aspects but in the social and environmental ones. One of the social benefits resulting from the implementation of consolidation work is the active involvement of the local community in the issues related to the formation of spatial conditions and enhancing the inhabitants’ social activity. In view of the above, the aim of the paper is to investigate the level of social activity of inhabitants in the communes in which agricultural land consolidation has been implemented. He study employed an analysis and synthesis of the literature as well as spatial and statistical research. He area under study included communes of Lubelskie voivodship.

Analiza liczby wydanych decyzji o warunkach zabudowy i zagospodarowania terenu we wsiach strefy podmiejskiej Olsztyna

Author(s): Sławomir Sobotka / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 1/2015

This paper presents the results of a study for PhD thesis entitled: Spatial Development Within Olsztyn Suburban Area Against The Background Of Changes To Agricultural Landscape. The spatial range of the study covered 6 communes situated within Olsztyn suburban area. In order to address spatial changes, Decisions on building and land development conditions issued in the years 2004.2010 were analysed. Under the Act on spatial planning and development [Journal of Laws of 2003 No 80, item 717, as amended], the Decision on building and land development conditions has become an important instrument in spatial planning. In many villages or communes (mainly in communes of Purda and Jonkowo) located within Olsztyn suburban area, it has become the predominant means in land development. In the years 2004.2010, a total of 5308 Decisions on building and land development conditions were issued. The number of decisions issued indicated an increasing trend in the years 2004.2009. Most decisions (55 %) issued in the years 2004.2008 concerned the construction of single family houses. With the increase in the distance from the administrative boundaries of Olsztyn, the issue of Decisions on building and land development conditions for the construction of technical infrastructure is becoming predominant in villages.

Analiza rozwoju Sieradza na podstawie interpretacji zdjęć lotniczych i waloryzacji przestrzeni z wykorzystaniem elementów teorii zbiorów rozmytych

Author(s): Mariola Matuszewska,Krzysztof Będkowski / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 4/2019

The spread of cities poses a serious urbanisation and natural challenge and significantly affects the quality of life of the inhabitants. The aim of the study was to examine the possibility of analysing the spread of the city of Sieradz based on the interpretation of multi-temporal aerial imagery from the years 1959, 1996 and 2015, and the topographical object database. There are 22 land cover classes that are attributed with coefficients determining their degree of belonging to the urban use of space. The area of the city is divided into hexagonal primary fields (1 ha) and the proportion of different forms of land use is determined and the M indicator calculated, which determines to what extent each primary field belongs to the urban way of space use. The primary fields were than classified into three zones: urban (0.5 < M ≤ 1.0), transitional (0.3 ≤ M ≤ 0.5) or rural (0 ≤ M < 0.3). Maps of the increment of this indicator in the test periods were made also. In the city there were consistently predominant areas with a rural nature of space use, because Sieradz has a large share of farmland, grassy vegetation, woodland and trees, orchards, plantations and gardens. Over time, however, the city area of typical urban use is increasing, which is mainly in the central and eastern part of the city and is clearly approaching its southern border, confirming the expansion of urban development to peripheral areas. By the year 1996 the growth of the M indicator took place mainly in the central part of the city, and in the next period revealed the clear “islands” of this growth quite distant from the centre. During the period 1959–1996 in Sieradz an early stage of the development of urban sprawl is noticeable – mainly progressive construction near the railway. However, in later years, the increase in accessibility to car transport was the cause of a deeping phenomenon of “urban sprawl” into the peripheral areas, causing a lively development of the suburbs. Studies have shown that urban sprawl also applies to mid-sized cities and confirms the suitability of archive aerial imagery and studies made using fuzzy sets theory to analyse the urban sprawl. The method used is relatively simple to use and can be fully automated.

Author(s): Marcela Mitrita,Ovidiu Buzoianu,Amelia Diaconu,Ionut Victor Ratezanu / Language(s): English / Publication Year: 0

Scientific progress embodies and depends on open communication, a common discourse that has roots in rationality, collaboration, as well as an easy and regular flow and efficient information exchange. These ideals can be considered hypocritical by elite power and can be displayed or emphasized in many other ways, but they are even involved in the idea of science, but they are based on the phenomenon called globalization and its practical outcomes. Business, banking and commerce depend on the flow of information and are facilitated by new communication technologies. The hardware of these technologies tends to be systemic and integrated - computerized, televised, cable, satellite, laser, optical fiber and microchip technology combining to create a vast network of communications and interactive information that can potentiate any people on earth have access to any other person, and each time they make each byte the availability of information for each set of eyes in search.

ANTROPOGENETSKA STRUKTURA OTOČNIH POPULACIJA ISTOČNOG JADRANA

Author(s): Maja Bakran,Branka Janićijević / Language(s): Croatian / Issue: 12+13/1994

The anthropogenetic structure of six island/peninsular populations - Brač, Hvar, Korčula, Pelješac, Silba and Olib - of the Eastern Adriatic, Croatia, is analyzed on the basis of the study of four different erythrocyte antigen systems/groups and two erythrocyte isoenzyme systems. Average sample size was 555 individuals. Allele frequencies and genetic distances values were computed. The obtained results point to the fact that all of the populations in question have preserved their separate characteristics in the course of their (micro) evolution to the present day, which is especially noticeable for the island populations of Korčula and Olib, as these populations distinguish themselves from the other studied populations with a greater degree of isolation.

Author(s): Andrzej Leśniak / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 4/2019

The article concerns the use of architecture in the novels of Michel Houellebecq. The aim of the article is to analyse the role played by the architectural and urbanistic motifs in Map and Territory and What-ever – two of the most important of the writer’s novels. According to the author of the article those motifs are not merely the background of the story or ideas presented in the novels, but they play an active role in creat-ing the most vital elements of the works’ atmosphere: the feeling of exhaustion and mischievousness of mod-ernist ideals and the mood of civilisational decay.

Centre-periphery Cleavage in Ukraine

Author(s): Valeriu Deciu / Language(s): English / Publication Year: 0

Once the former USSR collapsed, countries like Ukraine have construed their own collective identity aiming to differentiate them from internal and external “others” in a nation building process. New territorial boundaries have been established over the mental ones, founding myths and heroes have been recovered or reinstated. This process looked successful for a while until a census unveiled a center-periphery cleavage formation. Meanwhile, Kiev’s centralizing policy had to face upheaval in the eastern part, and conflict is ongoing. Scholars have speculated mostly over ethnic and historical factors as well as Russia’s active involvement as main reasons for the shift in identity self-referencing of Donbas region’s inhabitants. This paper aims at examining this center-periphery cleavage formation from another standpoint: an internal political struggle between two regional clans that are still controlling the resources and hence hold political power in the so-called Donbas region from Eastern Ukraine. Without minimizing the influence of historical and ethnic factors, we posit that many eastern Ukrainians’ choice for identity self-referencing had shifted when their region started to decrease in terms of economic and political power on the central level. And the Donbas clans losing the central power control over fighting each other is along with historical and ethnic factors one of the main reasons for that.

Changes and correlations in land-use structure within the administrative boundaries of a town – a case study

Author(s): Patrycja Szarek-Iwaniuk / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2020

Urban areas continuously evolve. The main drivers of spatial change in towns and cities are urbanization processes. The aim of this study was to analyze changes in the process of urban development spanning a period of 30 years and to analyze the correlations between the distribution of various land-use types. The results were compared with the land use balance made in the 1970s. In the present study, the distribution of different land use categories in urban space was mapped with very high accuracy. The results of this study validate that areas with specific functions tend to coexist, whereas other areas exist separately in different parts of the town. Active urbanization processes were observed in the analyzed town. Developed and urbanized areas (mainly with residential functions) were significantly expanded in the analyzed period. The spatial and functional structure of the analyzed town and its development potential within the administrative boundaries are influenced by the geographic location, which significantly obstructs further expansion of developed areas. The proposed methodology can be used to improve land management in urban areas and can be implemented in other spatial units.

Community Participation in Tourism Destination Development: A Literature Review

Author(s): Ionuţ-Călin Căzan / Language(s): English / Publication Year: 0

The aim of this article is to underline the way community is involved in decisions making regarding a tourism destination, how this process was developed during years and how it was studied before. Moreover, this research wants to find out, based on past researches, how communities are motivated to participate in tourism development, what are their benefits from involving in these activities and what is the importance of communities for tourism and their perception. While involvement and participation of communities in the tourism industry can be viewed in the decision making process and in the sharing of tourism benefits, community participation through employment brings more economic benefits directly to the household level On the other hand, participation is also open to a variety of interpretations arising from the fact that a ladder encompassing different levels of participation exists which often range from ‘only being told of’ to being able to influence or determine every aspect of the tourism development [5].
