Full textAbstract:
Creation of close-to-nature river beds is one of the results of watercourses revitalization. Watercourses are segments in the country increasing its recreational potential.The recreational potential of watercourses contributes to rich diversity of animal and plant species. They are well-preserved natural environment with a different atmosphere and an interesting psychological effect. The current goal of revitalization measures in the landscape primarily consists of the optimization of landscape water regime, incl. flood control measures and the promotion of biodiversity, but the current philosophy speaks of multifunctional land usage. However, the revitalization is currently underappreciated in the Czech Republic and it is important to increase the recreational potential of the landscape. The subject of this article is evaluation of close to nature watercources from the point of view of recreation potential. The example locality of close to nature watercourse is part of Váh river near Iľava city. In this area some elements of recreational potential by the proposed methodology are discussed. Two river courses make a possible comparison between a technical canal and a modified one, but close-to-nature water course with all parameters of river phenomenon. Properties of nature and close-to-nature watercourses could be an inspiration for repairing(modifying, adjusting) river stretches within urban space.

Full textAbstract:
The revitalization actions carried out in recent years within the urban tissue of Oslo made it possible to generate architectural layouts of a new character known as eco-structures. They are created both in the wharf zones of the city and accompanying natural and artificially formed promontories (Fjordbyen enterprise) as well as in its very centre (Grünerløkke district). These are old closed port and post-industrial areas now transformed into new layouts with residential, service, culture-creating and recreation functions. Frequently shaped on the border of two environments, i.e. urban and water as well as urban and park ones, they create a new quality of architecture making a dialogue with the natural environment and the local ecosystem.

Full textAbstract:
The article presents the course of the evolution of the concept of urban renewal’s emergence into its current, mature, integrated form of sustainable regeneration (sustainable urban regeneration—SUR). We present how the determination of renewal areas and its goals began to be based on particular indicators, and how the importance of these analyses gradually increased in managing the implementation of urban regeneration programs. Analytical techniques using GIS were used in the analyses of the differentiation of crisis phenomena inside cities before they became popular in smart city tools. Despite the wide use of GIS to analyze the diversity of crisis phenomena within the city, the availability of data means that different spheres are characterized with different accuracy. Starting from the significance of individual spheres, the focus has primarily been on the environment, which is underappreciated in Poland. Municipalities (urban, rural, urban–rural) with regeneration programs do not perceive negative environmental phenomena as significant in assessing a crisis in a degraded area. Nevertheless, municipalities that do analyze environmental issues in regeneration programs also see the need for action and implementation of projects in the environmental sphere. In order to verify the hypothesis, the Statistics Poland (formerly known in English as the Central Statistical Office; Polish: Główny Urząd Statystyczny, abbreviated and known as GUS) data on the regeneration process was analyzed, with reference to the relationships between renewal areas and the natural environment. In order to check these dependencies (or the lack thereof), the Yule φ coefficient and Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient were used. As a result, this study showed that analysis of the level and degree of degradation of the environmental sphere is not carried out frequently enough in municipalities. Secondly, the difficulties of municipalities, especially small ones (urban-rural and rural), in their analysis of the environmental sphere are the result of poor data availability. Thirdly, it is noted that there is a relationship between the designation of environmental zones and the type of municipality. This is of particular importance for the enhancement of smart city tools for the regeneration of existing cities, esp. small ones.

Full textAbstract:
Cracow’s area of Zabłocie, covered by the local revitalization programme, was formed during the development of industrial plants in 18 th and 19 th century. The local business activities included the Factory of Nets, Furniture, Ferrum Constructions and Ornament Goods owned by Józef Gorecki, whose products, even today, embellish the interiors of the Old Theater, the Chamber of Commerce and Industry, or the Cracow’s Soap Factory owned by Czesław Śmiechowski (currently Miraculum), which was the largest plant of this type in Krakow. The area of Zabłocie also housed the city’s largest distillery plant, “Cracow Vodkas”, as well as the Polish Healthy Bread Manufacture “Ziarno”. After the Second World War the post-industrial Zabłocie changed its production profile from technically simple to technologically advanced goods. Gorecki’s factory was replaced with “Telpod”, which, following political transitions of the 1990’s, was declared bankrupt. During the political transformation as well as at the end of the nineties, Zabłocie became “the forgotten” area of Kraków. The ongoing deterioration of post-industrial buildings as well as spacial and infrastructural chaos influenced the deepening processes of the area’s functional structure within the territory of the city. It was only the municipality, which objective was to bring the district out of crisis and which based its politics on passing of both local plan of spacial economy and local revitalization programme, that generated investors’ interest in the area. Currently Zabłocie is undergoing revitalization works on post-industrial buildings which, thanks to new functions, can be again incorporated into the area’s spacial structure. With regard to the above, the objective of this essay is to present structural changes which the district has undergone over the course of recent years and which have significantly influenced its functional transition from post-industrial to the one oriented on development of small and medium enterprises sector and housing.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose. The purpose of the article is to identify methods of structural and spatial changes within the existing urban riparian areas. As a result of the research, the need to rethink the attitude to urban planning in general, and within the river space in particular, was formulated. The task is to revitalize the territory within the water area by creating public spaces, restoring the ecological framework through the introduction of ecological clusters and creating green corridors, maintaining economic activity based on industry, with its partial transformation, maintaining the existing system of spaces and structures and their partial redevelopment. Results. The potential of sustainable development of riparian areas in the context of the formation of recreational space in its structure as a result of renovation is revealed. Methods of structural and planning transformations within the water area have been developed. A model of structural transformation of the river space within the city is being built, on the basis of which the identified principles of rehabilitation of the territory are being tested. The significance of the obtained results lies in the development of new approaches to the formation of a holistic recreational river structure; in the formulation of the basic principles underlying the structural and planning transformations and the construction of a model of urban renovation of the riparian zone. The study used grapho-analytical methods, as well as the study and analysis of foreign and domestic experience in the renovation and revitalization of riverside industrial areas. The study analyzed the master plan of the city, identified functional areas within the river space. Conclusion. The expediency of rehabilitation of the territory, introduction of new, actual functions determines the economic, social, cultural, psychological and aesthetic development of the city.

Full textAbstract:
American fascination with the frontier and concern that economic progress might waste the beauty and vast resources of the wilderness has helped environmental history in the United States to thrive for some time. Many publications tended to be conservationist and ‘foundationalist’ in terms of the lofty place ascribed to nature. These traits were shaped by the subject's formative links with political environmentalism, as both phenomena came to life in the 1960s as self-conscious and independent activities. Even after scholars became more interested in the role played by the capitalist system in conditioning the way that cities made demands on the environment, environmental historians’ study of urban growth, including the search for water supplies, tended to focus upon the impacts on the land or its original Indian inhabitants, on how rural harmonies were disrupted by urban greed – in sum to cede to a ‘broader agroecological approach’ as the dominant orthodoxy within the discipline. American environmental historians, of course, are fixated by these issues and have engaged in subtle and profound debates about the proper purpose and methods of their calling.

Full textAbstract:
In Japan, geophysical methods are normally used to estimate the distribution of cultural relics before digging. Objects of archaeological interest are usually located within a few meters of the surface. Therefore, geophysical methods suitable for archaeological exploration are those which provide high resolution at shallow depths. The most commonly used geophysical methods are ground‐probing radar, resistivity, and magnetometry. Of these methods, we used mainly ground‐probing radar and resistivity surveys in archaeological investigations at four sites. Three of the sites were in Gumma Prefecture (Japan); they were covered with volcanic deposits (loam or pumice). Using ground‐probing radar, we were able to locate ancient dwellings, burial mounds, and a distribution of archaeologically significant “culture layers.” At the other site, in Nara Prefecture, we located part of the remains of an ancient city. In this investigation, the resistivity method and ground‐probing radar were combined to determine the location of an underground water course within the ancient city.

The garbage has caused several problems within a city, is the visual pollution, in addition to contamination from the decomposition of organic matter, which generates the effluent called slurry which contaminates the soil and water in addition to the emission of greenhouse gases such as methane, sulfidric acid, ammonia and carbon dioxide gas. Reflecting on the various problems in a city that affect the environment, propose to study the composition of the garbage generated in the home, and the reactions to the formation of the same, the decomposition of organic matter and environmental impacts. Therefore, the mini course can be well used by the students, who did not have a broad view of chemistry and its applications in daily life by increasing their knowledge conceptual, in addition to awakening the motivation through the same methods that interest them.

Full textAbstract:
The study presents the results of water quality evaluation in the Setun River watershed, located entirely within the limits of the Moscow City. Multiple point and non-point sources of pollution cause the nutrient and organic matter content of the river and its tributaries to significantly differ from the natural background. Maximum nitrogen and phosphorus concentrations were observed at the upper reaches of the river during the summer low flow due to the landfill impact. Because of the extreme nutrient pollution at the river’s upper course, subsequent water inflow, even from significantly polluted tributaries, has a diluting effect, and the nutrient concentration decreases downstream. The effect of urbanization on the organic matter content is reflected in elevated COD and BOD values that exceed the national environmental guidelines. Seasonal dynamics of organic matter content includes increased organic matter during snowmelt and its relatively low content during summer.

Full textAbstract:
Accumulation of Cu and Pb by Alisma plantago-aquatica L. plants under laboratory conditions on separate solutions (3 MPC) and changes in the content of heavy metals (HM) when placed on distilled water (control) were studied. The phytoremediation potential of Alisma plantago-aquatica, taken from different stations, is assessed: from conditionally clean habitat located in the middle course of Yagorba river (Cherepovets region) and from conditionally polluted habitat located on the bank of Serovka river within Cherepovets city. It is established that irrespective of what stations are taken plants of Alisma plantago-aquatica, they actively accumulate heavy metals, but plants from conditionally clean habitat accumulate more. More effective in the purification of water from heavy metals is Alisma plantago-aquatica from conditionally clean habitat. Alisma plantago-aquatica specimens from different areas are capable of excretion of Cu and Pb ions, the leaves being the most important in this. Alisma has a good phytoremediation potential and is suitable for inclusion in the composition of bioplato to clean the water of small rivers from Cu and Pb.

Full textAbstract:
The objective of this dissertation is resolving the issues of both form and function of water courses in a present-day city. The dissertation focuses primarily on water courses which may be described as man-made, i.e. those resembling a canal, and addresses their prospective revitalization within the context of urban renewal and development in the present-day post-industrial era. The introduction includes a comprehensive analysis of the historical and typological development of artificial water courses, essential for grasping the connections as well as the current overall state of water courses in an urbanized setting. Detailed attention is devoted in particular to the most frequently occurring artificial water course - i.e. the race. The dissertation strives to defend the irreplaceable role of the water course as a public space in the urban landscape and - consequently - also its prospective essential revitalization. Examples, especially from throughout Western Europe, are used to demonstrate particular solutions, approaches and strategies to predominantly artificial water course renewal within the urban environment. The dissertation also devotes attention to the tools used in reaching relevant solutions.

Full textAbstract:
The primary area of study for this thesis is public aquarium design. Through the study of previous proposals for an aquarium in Halifax, significant aquarium facilities around the world, and the technical requirements for the re-creation of various aquatic habitats, an effective design for a Halifax aquarium can be developed.
The introspective nature of major aquarium facilities often creates a significant disconnect between programmatic activities within the aquarium, and the dynamics of the building’s immediate urban context. The efficacity of exhibit design is relating content and context, allowing the visitor to become personally invested in what is being exhibited. Through an architectural design strategy that relates exhibit, building, and site, an aquarium project could serve as an effective vehicle for connecting the Halifax harbour to its dynamic waterfront and vibrant urban fabric.

Full textAbstract:
Urban water is part and parcel of the political ecology of power that structures the functioning of the city. The preceding chapters showed how the circulation of water, the most natural of goods, is inserted into the maelstrom of social power relations through which the urbanization process unfolds. The urbanization of water and the urban hydrosocial cycle on which the sustainability of the city depends is impregnated by myriad social, cultural, political, and economic meanings and powers that place control over and access to nature squarely within the realm of key moral and ethical questions. In particular, it raises the issue of the relationship between nature, social justice, and the city. While the city cannot exist without the perpetual metabolic transformation of nature, this very transformation turns nature into a deeply social process in which nature, society, and the city can no longer be separated. It also suggests, of course, that some key questions need to be asked with respect to the social and material construction of the city’s nature and the power relationships through which this transformation and urban metabolism is organized and maintained. In this vein, we have attempted to explain how a political ecological analysis permits casting a new and different light onto the socio-ecological metabolic dynamics of the urbanization process itself. The previous chapters indicated that this urban transformation of water is a manifestation and expression of wider relations that clearly transcend the simple question as to who does and who does not have access to water. It also suggested that the water problem is not merely a question of management and technology, but rather, and perhaps in the first instance, a question of social power. The many manifestations of this power discussed in this book suggest how an enabling and empowering water politics need to address this question of power head on. In particular, those that defend the rights of the disempowered to the city’s nature have to understand the central political power relationships that structure the existing pattern.

Full textAbstract:
Changes in Detroit’s motor vehicle industries affect counterparts in Tokyo, struggling financial sectors in Athens rattle the economy of Dublin, construction booms in Vancouver stimulate investments by Hong Kong speculators, uprisings by Berlin artists against ‘creative’ redevelopment projects inspire protests by graffiti artists in Mexico City, and inadequate water supplies in greater Los Angeles limit the availability of imported foodstuffs for consumers in Delhi. The contemporary city is essentially an (post-)industrial, modern, and interconnected place where capitalist accumulation, growth, and decline often operate simultaneously, are experienced locally, and resonate globally leaving material traces on urban and associated hinterland landscapes. With the majority of the world’s population now dwelling in cities, historical and future-oriented urban identities face global challenges associated with the logistics and inequalities of deindustrialization. The fast pace of change in cities, as well as the tremendous scale of urban landscapes and the complexities of personal interactions with them, poses an unrivalled challenge to archaeologists whose work begins with contemporary remains. Contemporary Archaeology and the City foregrounds the archaeological study of (post-) industrial and other urban transformations through a diverse, international collection of case studies on present-day cities. The deep historical roots of citizenship in contemporary cities directly affect how communities craft notions of belonging within urban ecologies in the present. For example, the former industrial stronghold of East Belfast has experienced decades-long post-industrial economic decline alongside longstanding sectarian tensions. However, the arrival of new immigrant populations have shifted loyalist narratives in working class neighbourhoods from an identity defined by a self-conceived progressive ethos to one that asserts exclusionary material boundaries around an increasingly inward-looking, defensive community (McAtackney, Chapter 9). Meanwhile, Detroit’s built environment and cultural heritage suffer at the hands of an ongoing, decadeslong social disaster perpetuated by a constellation of political corruption, economic mismanagement, and legacies of racial conflicts. While the media perpetuates inaccurate portrayals of Detroit and other comparable cities as landscapes of abandonment, where people and built environments are increasingly absent, the contributors to this volume adopt a more nuanced approach. They envisage post-industrial cities as variably inhabited places and emergent ecologies—hybrid metropolises that expand and contract over the course of multi-generational life cycles—places that are complicated by conceptual divisions between city and nature, industry and creativity, sustainability and profitability (Millington 2013: 279; Ryzewski 2016; see Ryzewski, Chapter 3).

This paper proposes a critical analysis of “ARCH 2010 Introduction to Urban Architecture” at the School of architecture of the University of Virginia. The studiois part of an overall strategy that tries to subvert the traditional method of teaching in architectural design. In a conventional linear process, students start withthe design of a small-scale architectural object and continue to design buildings in progressively larger scales. Provided with a strong urban context, the 2010 Studio follows a sinusoidal transition of scale, moving from small to large and back again. The ultimate goal of the studio is to put forward/produce an urban architectural project by linking the architectural object with the urban landscape as catalysts for the change within the city. The architectural proposals should be a strategic and thoughtful response to previous research on existing urban systems, and should support the revitalization of public life in their immediate environment and in the whole city. The course was divided in four parts: Elements and infrastructures of the urban environment, developed at Charlottesville Down Town Mall, Urban systems and networks, strategic development plan for 9th street, and design of a mixed-use building and public space (The last 3 parts took place in Lynchburg, Virginia). To connect these four main “problems” there were “transitional exercises” inserted in between them. With the same critical attention, this paper will analyze the final results, the various stages of the course as well as the areas of overlap between different phases, specially designed to ensure the student’s awareness of the consistency of the complete process.
