pe research is a highly relevant topic for interdisciplinary sciences such as astrosociology, space anthropology as well as science and technology studies (STS). In recent years, space research in Kazakhstan has increased beyond the study of the Baikonur Cosmodrome alone and its influence on the formation of space landscapes in neighbouring regions. One example of this research expansion is the Ulytau region, where space infrastructure sites and «space» memory places can be found, the union of which can be considered as a separate case study of the Ulytau space landscape. The purpose of this article is to provide a primary overview of the space landscape of the Ulytau region, based on the materials of field studies of the cities of Zhezkazgan, Satpayev, Zhezdy, the villages of Karsakbai, Baikonur, Shalginsky, Ulytau in the period from 2020-2023. The main part of the study will be presented in the form of a register – a list of places of memory related to the theme of space. This register will include places of memory associated with the first Baikonur cosmodrome, monuments of historical and cultural heritage located near the space infrastructure and places associated with meetings of cosmonauts. The register will be complemented by descriptive analyses based on archival and museum materials, as well as oral histories collected during expeditions. Using a methodology based on Pierre Nore’s concept, the study will examine the visibility and invisibility of places of memory, and analyse how the theme of

In this panel, focusing on place in terms of Landscapes of Care, Richard Wiliams, Sotiria Alexiadou with Vassilis Colonas, and Joao Gadelho Novais Tavares examine urban architectures through a shared aperture of film, thereby showing an engagement with the historical, spatial and ‘social production of space’.1 The temporal dimension of film opens up for analysis of the places of their individual studies in historical, real-time and fictitious dimensions, showing how visual images contribute to understandings of the care of places and peoples. Lars Rolfsted Mortensen’s photographs of dams in the Swiss Alps raise broader questions about place and our need for care of the landscape. The photographs present us with the ambivalence of sublime infrastructures that are both destructive and removable interventions in Alpine ecosystems but vital for green energy.

Mapping Footprints: Lost Geographies in Australian Landscapes is a research project in development that explores the relational qualities of places and contemporary perceptions of geography. It reflects on new mapping technologies that have the capacity to reinstate relations between subjects and places via a spatial exploration that engages with inventive and specific uses of location sensing technologies informed by physical and cultural contexts. The Elvina rock engravings in Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park are the site of a location-sensitive sound installation in which we integrate the specificities of landscape with a navigational medium. A sonic map is overlayed over the physical terrain, opening up the site as a place embedded with memories, creating the potential for spontaneous exploration and new understandings of place. The ‘map’ in Mapping Footprints is composed from the geographical narration of the cartographers’ exploration across Indigenous mediascapes.

Objective: Some of the parliament buildings have public open and green spaces nearby. For instance, United States’ Capitol Building has Capitol Grounds, Germany’s Reichstag Building has Platz der Republik Park and Spreebogen Park, The Palace of Westminster of United Kingdom has Victoria Tower Gardens. These spaces originated as green public spaces associated with state. The parliament buildings are often landmarks. Their green spaces enhance the spatial quality. Green spaces make parliament buildings more attractive places to visit and work. There is no landscape architecture research on Türkiye’s first parliament building’s green space so called Millet Garden. The objective of this study is to identify historic features and evaluate components. Material and Methods: The research is structured in qualitative research method and consists of four parts. The first part includes theoretical framework. The explanation of research design and the implementation of data collection method is the second part. The third part contains description of the site. The fourth part constitutes analyses the components of historic landscape in details. Results: This study reveals the importance of the Millet Garden by evaluating it in terms of landscape architecture. Conclusion: This study touches upon the importance and benefits of historic landscapes. Finally, the study revealed some directions for further studies. architecturally impressive landmarks. Their green spaces enhance the spatial quality. Green spaces make parliament buildings more attractive places to visit and work.There are some research on historical parks of Turkey, but a more specific research on Ankara Millet Park is lacking. This research aims to identify historic landscape features, analyze and evaluate components of the Turkey’s first parliament building’s public green space, which is called Millet Park (Millet means Nation is Turkish). The Millet Park is considered as the first designed public park of Ankara. The research is structured in qualitative research method and has five parts. The first part includes theoretical framework. The explanation of research design and implementation of data collection method is in second part. The third part contains description of the research area. The fourth part constitutes analyses in detail the components of historic urban landscape. Finally, the research is concluded with a reccomendations and directions for further studies. This research touches upon the importance and benefits of historical public landscapes in Turkey.

Full textAbstract:
Saving problem of important cultural, historical and natural heritage always remains relevant. The main problem of the research is to study the growth points of a new ideology of space in the cultural landscape of Kazakhstan. The overcoming of thinking forced styles of the Soviet era opens up the prospects for the formation of a new ideology of space and the renationalization of identifiers as the steppe memory, national cultural code and sacred places. The new ideology development of space at the initial stages of Independence had a more spontaneous character of “people’s canonization”; initiators were as a rule the patriotic citizens. In 2017, the state is implementing the national project “Sacred Geography of Kazakhstan” aimed at the restoration of historical and cultural territories, sacred places and commemoration of historical memory. According to the project, sacred places can and should become growth points of national consciousness uniting the nation around the living history. The article considers sacred places as a recreational space of the cultural landscape. The authors propose classification types of sacred places that should contribute to the accumulation of all layers of national identification into a single whole. In addition, based on the classification methodology of sacred places, the authors of the article have attempted the typology through the prism of axiology, differs from the developed criteria for the special project selection.

Pictures and spaces, like literary texts, tell a story. This chapter, together with the Survey's envoi, tackles a range of these stories. At our first two sites we focus on painted landscapes in suburban villas (the Villa ‘Farnesina’, and the Villa of Livia at Prima Porta, near Rome). The next two, the famous but now mostly lost Horti Sallustiani and Porticus of Pompey, open a window onto the political and civic role of peri-urban Roman landscape gardens. Rounding off the survey, a stroll around the parkland of the emperor Hadrian's villa near Tibur (modern Tivoli) uses the contemporary site to reflect on villa visits then and now.

Full textAbstract:
In the residential districts built after the Second World War, the qualities of landscapes are not, in most cases, taken into account in understanding projects nor are they considered as a resource in renovation projects except as a “compensatory greening” once the main spaces have been divided, privatized and fenced off. We suggest considering this residential landscape heritage as a potentially structuring one, through the landscape approach, based on three levels for interpreting space: that of the relation to the geographic and urban site; that of the neighborhood defined by its open and public spaces; and lastly, that of the materiality of places and practices. We see it as relevant since it is more global and adapted to the current context of projects.

Full textAbstract:
Drawing on French anthropologist Marc Augé and his seminal book Non-Places (1995) the author pays attention to the transformation of contemporary urban landscapes. In thinking trough the dialectic of place and non-place, this paper aims to account for the apparent sense of placelesness in our cultural landscapes and in increasingly globalised world. If we want to ask fundamental questions about what has happened to our urban landscape and to the spirit of cities during the last decades then the concepts of place and non-place help us to describe the actual changes. Besides, Augé’s work gives us the methodological tools to address philosophical questions about the nature of supermodernity and the relationship between modernity and postmodernity moving toward new conditions of globality. This article will attempt to apply anthropological and philosophical concepts of place and space to the context of Lithuania, comparing the ways of spreading of non-places (non-lieu) in the Soviet modernity and contemporary global, hyper-visual and liquid cultural landscape.

Full textAbstract:
Background: People are paying increasing attention to urban forest landscapes, and recreational landscape spaces (providing recreation and viewing functions) are an important part of the urban forest landscape. Visual tracking technology is a flexible and accurate modern research method. When this technology is applied to forest landscape evaluation, it can assist in explaining the content that could not be studied in depth in the past and has high application value. However, although an eye tracker can tell us what the user is looking at, it cannot tell us why they are looking at it or how they feel after seeing it. To this end, we combined a 7-point spatial cognition questionnaire and satisfaction preference to understand the visual behavior (fixation point time, number of fixation points, etc.) and preference satisfactions of users in recreational landscape spaces to help designers understand what elements attract people’s visual attention and improve the design of these spaces. Methods: We used eye-tracking and cognitive questionnaires to obtain experimental data and used factor analysis and linear regression analysis of SPPS 23.0 to analyze data. Main purpose: Clarify the factors affecting people’s visual behavior and satisfaction preferences in forest recreation spaces to provide theoretical guidance for planning and designing forest landscapes. Main results: (1) Places with more frequent eye movements have relatively lower satisfaction preferences; (2) The spatial perception factors affect participants’ visual behavior, and satisfaction preference is different based on many indicators (WCB, WSO, WSN, SSH, etc.) in forest recreation space; (3) The professional background education affects the participants’ visual-behavior evaluation of the recreational landscape space and also affects the participants’ focus on the landscape preference. When the spatial type of forest recreation space changes, the spatial perception factors that affect the participants’ visual behavior and satisfaction preferences also change. Based on the above, we suggest that in forest recreation space, the spatial perception indicators should be improved according to the characteristics of space itself, then improve the satisfaction preferences for the scene in a targeted manner to make participants produce effective and positive visual behavior. Meanwhile, for a well-built forest park, we should provide the landscape node with the best visual effect and satisfaction preference for tourists from different professional backgrounds on the park’s tour route map based on the characteristics of the forest recreational landscape space.

Full textAbstract:
Our understanding of the Later Stone Age (LSA) on the Greater Mapungubwe Landscape has until now been fairly limited. However, it is a landscape upon which foragers witnessed and partook in agriculturalist state formation between AD 900 and 1300, altering their cultural behaviour to suit their changing social and political topography. Nowhere else in southern Africa were foragers part of such developments. For this project a landscape approach was used to study the various changes in the regional LSA record as well as the way in which foragers interacted with farmers. In order to address these issues, data were obtained from an archaeological survey followed by an excavation of seven sites in north-eastern Botswana, part of the Greater Mapungubwe Landscape. These finds indicate that the local forager record varies chronologically and spatially, which had not previously been recorded. Foragers also used a variety of site types and in each a different forager expression was deposited, providing indications of their changing settlement pattern. Notably, this included a gradual movement into agriculturalist homesteads beginning by at least AD 1000 and concluding by AD 1300, when the Mapungubwe capital was abandoned. Thus, interactions, at least in some cases, led to assimilation. There is also clear evidence of exchange with agriculturalists at many of the excavated sites, but this does not always seem to be related to their proximity with one another. Performing a landscape study has also made it possible to make two general conclusions with regard to LSA research. First, these data challenge ethnography, displaying its limitations particularly with linking modern Bushman practices, such as aggregation and dispersal patterns or hxaro gift exchange, to LSA foragers. Second, a full landscape understanding combines the archaeology of multiple cultural landscapes and in this case also crosses national borders, two themes often neglected in southern African archaeological studies.

This project began with a personal attachment to place. An attachment to the Bo-Kaap as the embedded landscape of my spatial memory and cultural identity. My family holds a deep place attachment to the Bo-Kaap. It's the inscribed space of my forefathers and the only place that they've known as 'home'. Since the abolition of slavery in 1834, my family has come to reside in the Bo-Kaap, an uncovering that was discovered through my research at the beginning of the year. After the abolition of slavery, my grandfather's great grandfather purchased the property on the corner of Castle Street and Maxwell Lane, where his family lived for 3 generations until their home was expropriated under the Slums Area Act in 1934. His great-grandchildren later came to purchase available land towards the top of Longmarket Street, which was not affected by the Slums Area Act. This is where my family continues to live till this day. Having grown up in the Bo-kaap, I've witnessed its constant state of flux and the urban pressures that continue to disrupt its historical urban fabric and social character. This realisation has prompted my interest in the Bo-Kaap as both a physical and social space of past and present contestation.

Thomas, Nicola. "Landscape, space and place in English- and German-language poetry, 1960-1975." Thesis, University of Nottingham, 2017. http://eprints.nottingham.ac.uk/41884/.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines representations of space, place and landscape in English and German-language poetry of the period 1960-1975, a key transitional phase between modernity and postmodernity. It proposes that the impact certain transnational spatial revolutions had on contemporary poetry can only be fully grasped with recourse to comparative methodologies which look across national borders. This is demonstrated by a series of paired case studies which examine the work of J. H. Prynne and Paul Celan, Sarah Kirsch and Derek Mahon, and Ernst Jandl and Edwin Morgan. Prynne and Celan’s 'Sprachskepsis' is the starting point for a post-structuralist analysis of meta-textual space in their work, including how poetry’s complex tectonics addresses multifaceted crises of representation. Mahon and Kirsch’s work is read in the context of spatial division, and it is argued that both use representations of landscape, space and place to express political engagement, and to negotiate fraught ideas of home, community and world. Jandl and Morgan’s representations of space and place, which often depend on experimental lyric subjectivity, are examined: it is argued that poetic subject(s) which speak from multiple perspectives (or none) serve as a means of reconfiguring poetry’s relationship to space at a time when social, literary and political boundaries were being redefined. The thesis thus highlights hitherto underexplored connections between a range of poets working across the two language areas, making clear that space and place is a vital critical category for understanding poetry of this period, including both experimental and non-experimental work. It reveals weaknesses in existing critical taxonomies, arguing for the use of ‘late modernist’ as category with cross-cultural relevance, and promotes methodological exchange between the Anglophone and German traditions of landscape, space and place-oriented poetry scholarship, to the benefit of both.

Irving, Brook Alys. "Ruination as invention: reconstructions of space and time in a deindustrial landscape." Diss., University of Iowa, 2015. https://ir.uiowa.edu/etd/1640.
Full textAbstract:
This dissertation argues that the symbolic force of deindustrial Rust Belt decline is expressed through patterns of rhetorical invention, what I call ruination rhetorics. Ruination, I argue, works to construct divergent orientations toward space and time in representations of the Rust Belt. I trace these orientations as a way of charting the contours of how we understand domestic urban decay in our contemporary political and economic climate. This project argues that ruination's inventive force hints at a number of thematics including: ruination as urban waste; ruination as a claim to forms of nostalgia and authenticity; ruination as a linkage between temporal configurations of the past and the present; and ruination as a narrative form enabling what I call a "melancholic" rhetorical style. In all of these instances, ruination supports differentiated orientations toward time and space, creating temporal and geographical connections and boundaries through rhetorical manipulations. In this way, the times and spaces of and for industrial ruination shift, and in so doing, their discursive manifestations elucidate the diversity and instability of spatio-temporal structures. Conceptually, I argue that ruination shapes an understanding of space and time as fluid concepts, rather than stagnant or pre-determined categories. And by unpacking the ways that ruination traffics in representations of Rust Belt geographies and citizens, we discover an increasingly complex discursive field out of which meaningful relationships to decay and renewal might be forged. In this way, ruination does not weave a cohesive narrative of what the Rust Belt is, where the Rust Belt is, or who does or does not lay claim to its political realities and challenges. Rather, its divergent and contradictory modes of rhetorical invention suggest ruination expresses the incoherencies and compatibilities constitutive of an everyday life lived in the ebbs and flows of a material space that is always-already a site of ongoing decay and renewal.

The sub-rural Kansas community of Winona stands at a critical crossroad. The dilemma of rural population decline, fueled largely by technological advances in communication, transportation, and agriculture is devastating rural economies and the centers of community social life – namely the local school(s) and main street(s). The physical infrastructure, spatial character and unique identity of rural places is slowly diminished in the process. While great potential exists for the landscape architecture and planning professions to address the patterns of rural decline, the limited market for such services and the lack of regulations requiring those services precludes their effective implementation within rural communities. Within Winona, a long-standing stormwater problem provides an opportunity to address both the stormwater problem and the larger dilemma in a holistic landscape architecture approach. How can contemporary landscape architecture engage rural communities in planning and design solutions aimed at mitigating stormwater issues while addressing community identity loss resulting from population and economic decline? The Place, Space, Community (PSC) Framework developed can determine distinctive qualities and characteristics and illuminate community identity which serves as the creative genesis for stormwater mitigation, and more importantly, the development of social capital critical to economic and population stability and growth. Successful development of social capital and enhanced community identity is dependent on design solutions anchored in the sense of place inherent in the residents of Winona. Landscape architects are uniquely qualified to provide solutions to the stormwater problem which respond to place in ways influencing the identity and social capital of Winona’s residents in dramatically positive ways. This initial focus on a holistic, place-based approach to increased social capital provides a strong foundation for future economic, social and environmental stability and growth into the future. Winona can indeed enjoy a bright and prosperous future with a Place, Space, Community approach.

People often move through public transit space only recognizing the functional qualities. In such an environment we become faceless bodies moving through the landscape. As our environments become increasingly functional, so do humans—we cycle anonymously between work and home with little spontaneous interaction occurring in between. The daily routine is executed in nonplace: “Where once there were places we now find nonplaces. In real places the human being is a person. He or she is an individual, unique and possessing a character. In nonplaces, individuality disappears. In nonplaces, character is irrelevant and one is only the customer or shopper, client or patients, a body to be seated, and address to be billed, a car to be parked” (Oldenburg 1989, 205). The Maplewood light rail station in St. Louis County, Missouri is an example of nonplace. Although functional, the landscape lacks character. In order to combat nonplace sociologist Ray Oldenburg suggests that we cultivate third places—liminal spheres between home and work that facilitate informal social interaction. A major component of third place is user accessibility. Therefore, the ability to physically and mentally access public transit space will be investigated as a design dilemma. Through the reframing of physical and mental accessibility the Maplewood MetroLink station will evolve into a third place capable of supporting informal social interaction. In order to understand the factors influencing social interaction in public transit space, five precedents were examined using the Project for Public Spaces definition of “place.” Characteristics found to promote social activity include linkages, flexibility, imageability and social infrastructure. The factors were further defined as ‘mental’ or ‘physical’ accessibility which were then used to analyze the Maplewood MetroLink station. After examining physical and mental accessibility at the Maplewood MetroLink station, a design solution was proposed. The design encourages users to pause and interact with each other and the landscape in a highly mobile environment.

Full textAbstract:
My thesis — a novel and an accompanying exegesis — addresses the question: what is ‘home’? What are the ways in which it has been and can be understood? And in particular, how can it be represented in narrative fiction so as to take into account its many intricate facets? Framed by my understanding of the relationship between mental inscapes and outward landscapes, I propose that ‘home’ is not so much a geographical space as it is an interpretation of that space, and that, in prose, this interpretation is based on the subjective viewpoint of a narrative focaliser.This said, in my creative practice I explore experiences of ‘home’ through two alternate focalisations. I represent ‘home’ in several ways: as the tension point between nurture and neglect; as a space of transience and fluidity; as an experience of familiarity; and as part of the everyday process of the creation of self. Drawing upon the landscape, culture and community of the places I have lived in — Bunbury, Albany and Perth — and the years I have spent traversing the roads within and between, this is a novel in which the sense of home (or the homelike moment) is constructed out of movement, communication and sociality. This is a novel in which ‘home’ is not just a place; it is an activity.Relative to my creative practice, my exegesis details how the construction of my novel was based on a triangulate relationship between personal experience, theoretical readings and the exemplar of fiction. Each chapter examines ‘home’ from a certain theoretical point of view, and in turn the representational applications of these points of view are studied via a close reading of Thea Astley’s A Descant for Gossips and in my own work. Finally, it is this understanding — point of view, perception, focalisation — that forms the basis of both my creative and theoretical work.

Full textAbstract:
The island of Iona had the primacy of the Columban familia from the foundation of the monastery by St Columba in the sixth century until Viking invasions led to a transfer of primacy to Kells in the ninth century. Though located off the coast of western Scotland, it was not isolated from the Insular and Christian world. Surviving documents demonstrate the learning and outlook of the monks on Iona. The Abbot Adomnán, who died in 704, in particular was known for his travels and varied writings. The titles of theologian, lawmaker and peacemaker can be applied to him. Not only was Iona a religious centre for the community and pilgrims, it was also politically associated with the ruling families of Dál Riata (Scotland) and Ireland. Iona is credited with the production of such seminal artworks as the Book of Durrow and Book of Kells. The high crosses of Iona were either the first or among the first of the Insular stone tradition. The crosses are monumental, free-standing crosses carved in relief with ornament and figural imagery. The Insular monumental stone tradition has created enduring symbols—the Irish high crosses, Pictish cross-slabs and Anglo-Saxon stone sculpture. This dissertation offers an innovative interpretation of the iconographic programme of the high crosses of Iona by emphasizing their natural and liturgical landscape and environment. Previous studies have looked at individual panels and motifs such as the Virgin and Child panels and the snake-boss motif: the whole programme across the four crosses has not been attempted. The ritualised usage of the crosses can be gleaned through analysing the crosses as a whole project meant to complement each other in the environment of Iona the island and monastic settlement, over the eighth and ninth centuries. Close scrutiny of the crosses in a variety of contexts, both on Iona and when they were removed for conservation, has allowed for the analysis of the individual crosses. The crosses were erected in the physical landscape where the sun directs how and when the programme is to be accessed. The sun elucidates some of the iconographic conundrums. Additionally, the placement of the crosses was in a liturgical landscape, where the crosses were approached in complement to certain devotions. The programme of light enhances the liturgical day, particularly assisting in devotion to the Divine Office. The four crosses were erected as a spiritual tool, part of the ritualised, virtual pilgrimage to the Holy Land. Iona as a pilgrimage destination was more accessible than Rome and Jerusalem. Whereas the Lindisfarne Gospels were commissioned for the translation of the relics of St Cuthbert, the translation of the corporeal relics of St Columba, founder of Iona’s monastery, led to the commission of a cross that acts as a crux gemmata and cross-reliquary.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractWhat makes a space feel sacred? How did ancient people create a physical and emotional ‘sense’ of specialness or distinction in their ritual places? The ancient Egyptians created at least two major zones of ritualised space (demarcated from the secular parts of their cities and towns), the temple and the cemetery. While scholars have addressed the multisensory techniques utilised by kings and priests to craft the temple precinct into a sacred landscape, the sensory experience of the necropolis remains undertheorized. This gap results from the challenge of comprehending the vast funerary landscapes that have experienced dramatic change since ancient times, changes which have obscured ancient ground level and pathways as well as dramatically altered the appearance of monumental tomb architecture. In this chapter, I combine textual, art historical, and archaeological evidence for the sounds, smells, and visual experiences of ancient people at an Egyptian necropolis with 3D GIS technologies that attempt to virtually represent ancient ritual spaces in their form during the Pharaonic Period. The necropolis of Saqqara, bordering the administrative centre Memphis and one of Egypt’s oldest elite burial grounds, is used as a case study to explore the ancient Egyptian funerary landscape from a multisensory perspective.

Full textAbstract:
Following a rapid transition to markets, democracy and private enterprise, Serbia’s capital Belgrade is emerging as a ‘global city’, but this ambition is coming at a cost to the environment and a loss of sense of place for its people. Diverse identities and changing values over time are being challenged as the city transitions out of a complex socialist past into a pervasively global economy, which by definition challenges locally embedded hybridity of place and puts strain on sustainable growth. Open spaces are required for city residents to live, work, and move efficiently, making the use, access, and ecological integrity of open spaces a city-wide priority. The dependence and attachment of city residents to these spaces provides an ideal baseline for analysis of different open space typologies integral to the urban fabric defining a wide range of urban resiliency strategies. This people-centered approach, coupled with an understanding of the contemporary and historical significance of open spaces, raises the question of how to improve and connect such forms to the urban fabric while respecting place identity in response to post-socialist spatial change. Our case studies inspect the socialist landscapes of public open spaces in New Belgrade as they have transformed in a contemporary context. Other case studies demonstrate the systematic loss of open space taken over by private informal housing on one hand, but also as people-driven initiatives reclaiming the urban landscape on the other. Using fresh empirical evidence and case study analysis at the neighborhood scale, this research employs an open space typology of resiliency in place for a connected urban mosaic of post-socialist Belgrade. The analytical framework draws on existing urban research in the context of post-socialist transition and advances a design matrix to analyze open space forms for connectivity in relation to place and sustainability.

Full textAbstract:
Housing is one of the most essential components of life, offering shelter, protection, and comfort, as well as a place to rest. When considering the Sri Lankan housing complexes Millennium city housing complex was highlighted mainly because of the crime incidents that happened inside the housing complex. This research is done to demonstrate and to investigate the application of landscape architecture for security on urban housing complexes based on Millennium city housing complex, using landscape character to reduce outdoor insecurity. Seven places in the millennium city housing complex premises were selected to apply the crime prevention through environmental design theory and to observe its effectiveness through structured interviews and by considering the police reports that were taken through Sri Lanka police Athurugiriya. Natural surveillance, Territorial reinforcement, Maintenance, Prospect, Refuge, and Escape factors are separately discussed in the analysis regarding the selected places. A sectional survey is done for further analysis. The outcome shows that the house settings and the landscape character affect the outdoor landscape safety of the residents. The study will be a source to better understand how landscape architecture can be applied for outdoor security in urban housing complexes.

Full textAbstract:
This paper attempts to describe the specific urban-architectural forms that emerge in the space between the traces of the urban fabric, disintegrating into a chaotic, dispersed and deteriorating structures and landscape. The unregulated expansion of civilization into nature is not only a planning and structural problem, but also an economic and social one. While discussing the possibility of halting urbanization on open areas (in reality, when planning is the object and not the subject of the economy), the author focuses on the phenomenon of the domestic sprawl. In Poland, this problem equally affects large cities (which is widely described in the literature as urban sprawl) as well as small towns and villages, which is defined by the author as the rural sprawl. The paper uses the term inner edge of the landscape understood as a virtual boundary between the areas with dominant forms of human activity from the space defined by the elements of the natural landscape. The concept of the inner edge of the landscape is formulated as a structure of typological units (point / trail / region) that allow you to indirectly limit the development by exposing cultural values.While many researchers searching for the new forms of centrality (for the construction of identity - in areas where urbanization steps in or the concentration of activities on greenfield sites), the objective of this paper is to define the rules of maintaining the remoteness. It is hypothesized that urbanly and architecturally defined peripheral spaces (edges), can be a stimulus for the emergence of public places in the landscape, whitch can limit its urbanization.

Full textAbstract:
Education on heritage environments based on user experience is committed to understanding and enhancing the heritage landscape. The proposal prioritizes "experimenting" over "explaining" to reduce the digital divide and to guarantee equal access to information and knowledge. The urban environment of the church of the Santos Juanes is one of the most characteristic places in the history of the city of Valencia. In the same environment there are emblematic monuments such as the Lonja de la Seda and the Mercat Central of Valencia. Despite all of the above, the landscape has suffered considerable deterioration in recent decades. The lack of a safe urban space, the weak treatment of urban connections to monuments and the physical deterioration of the building have been the factors that have caused the creation of an environment conducive to alienating behaviors with the place. The high degree of alienation has led to the production of campaigns to prevent and prosecute these behaviors by the municipal administration, however there are no proposals to help understand and know these places. Currently, the redevelopment works of this environment are being undertaken, so it is of interest to propose an educational proposal about the heritage area to stimulate interest, learning, experience and exploration. Visits and workshops on the interpretation and sensitive experience of the cultural landscape bring citizens closer to experiencing the church of the Santos Juanes in a way not based on a data compilation discourse. In conclusion, experiencing, knowing and sharing these environments strengthens the relationship between citizens and their cultural heritage. At the same time, these exercises help to collect information on how citizens perceive and value their heritage environments.

Rita Occhiuto Faculté d’Architecture. Université de Liège, ULG. 1, Rue Courtois 4000 Liège (BE) Tél. +3242217900 e-mail : r.occhiuto@ulg.ac.be Keywords: public space, park system, green and water infrastructure, morphological green writings, landscape memory The rapid transformation and the trivialization of landscapes in Wallonia (BE), require reformulating tools and objectives of morphological studies. Built fabrics and landscapes show the effects of abandoning or losing interest in the interrelations between natural and human actions. This contribution focuses on studies of cities and territories that have ceased to be the object of spatial policies attentive to the relationship between the need to live, maintain or care for green or natural spaces. After the systematic reduction of urban environments to simple green covers, morphological reading allows the recognition of traces of park systems or green infrastructures, whose communities often do not remember. The research's focus has shifted from the building to the green space structure. This displacement of interest makes it possible to find commons cultures that have acted on the territory of Liège (industrial city) on the one hand, through the building’s extension and on the other hand, through the project of forests, walks, squares, parks and public gardens. Now, these fragmented places become the main resource for reorganizing natural and human systems in order to offer new - social and spatial - coherence for tomorrow. Thus the historical green systems become a strong structuring link which serves to seek new dialectics of balance between existing fabrics and green systems. This system’s regeneration stands, on the one hand, to the hybridization of materials - water, green and buildings - and, on the other hand, to the physical and mental memory of the inhabited environments that populations keep. Green systems impose themselves as powerful vectors for the construction of new socio-spatial balances of cities and territories of globalization, as in the study case for the landscape systems in Liège and for the water and landscapes infrastructure in Chaudfontaine.References Foxley, A.

Zhao, Wei. "Heritage as Narratives: A Case Study on Tourism Development in Longji Rice Terraces, China." In 109th ACSA Annual Meeting Proceedings. ACSA Press, 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.35483/acsa.am.109.41.
Full textAbstract:
Longji (Dragon Bone) Rice Terraces, largely constructed in the last five hundred years, are located in Guangxi Province, China. For centuries, a system of trails, connecting about two dozen settlements in Longji, was the only access connecting the residents and the world outside the valley. Since the 1990s, the decision to develop tourism has significantly changed local residents’ lives and the cultural landscape of Longji. Drawing upon archival research and limited fieldwork, this paper scrutinizes the local heritage management and tourism development approach since the turn of the twentieth century, and their impacts on the cultural landscape and local people’s lives. Although recognizing the benefits from developing tourism, this paper challenges the current approach, which presents heritage as many destinations, each being rather complete and independent, and overlooks the integrity of the cultural landscape. As a result, many segments of the rice terraces are abandoned, and the trails deserted. Moreover, the memories and stories attached to these places are forgotten. This paper argues that heritage should be viewed as narratives, connecting events and places both in space and in time. In this case, the trails, in addition to being the gateway to the outside world, not only connect the past and the present and the residents from all the villages but also provide access to the rice terraces and the entire landscape. Thus, this paper advocates an alternative approach on heritage management, which not only emphasizes the integrity of the cultural landscape by considering the trails as the axis and the access, but also celebrates and promotes the narratives that construct and connect the cultural landscape in space and in time.

Full textAbstract:
This research explores the farming landscape and village life in Kampos, a village on the Greek island of Tinos. Tinos is an Aegean island with a long history of agriculture. In Kampos, one of the oldest farming villages of Tinos, boundaries created by low stone walls and alleyways primarily define the farming landscape that permeates village life and its structure. The landscape appears semi-artificial, given the construction of countless rows of cultivation ridges and terraces. Boundaries on the island appear through texts, space, movement and habit, thus creating. a series of liminal spaces. They represent areas – or rather situations – allowing for multiple co-existing levels of interaction, which are both ambiguous and can be transformed through negotiation. Negotiation would not be possible without language and narrative: Language arises through communal metaphors, stories, and fictional beliefs that bind and connect a small community together in a farming landscape, a community that has retained a quality of life closely connected to nature, architecture, and private and public realms, all by exhibiting features that can be found in a contemporary way of living. Objectified and non-objectifiable boundaries – in relation to the villagers’ land, water, private and public spaces –, their absence, their negotiation, the life that flourishes in-between them, and their relationship to men and women, ownership, and bonding, are important aspects examined in research. The presence, the lack of, and the negotiation of these boundaries, all unfold through fictional stories, narratives and interviews of villagers from Kampos. Through these narratives, I argue that when boundaries are obscure or create an in-between space of negotiation and communication, when they become a liminal space, then a different situation of ownership and bonding arises. Here, the villagers claim their properties’ boundaries, and negotiate these and sometimes fall into conflicts. Conducting this research, I determined that stories created from the villager’s life, space, and landscape consist of a series of metaphors that define ‘dwelling’ in this part of the world, in this specific landscape, which has a contemporary way of living, but still connected with tradition and the past as an action mimetic of the present.

The urban landscape assesment as an important element in the quality of life and the sustainable development of the city constitutes an incipient field of investigation from a new perspective that adds meanings and values. An analysis of the different methodological developments and national and international experiences in the assessment of these landscapes will highlight its importance as a strategic element to improve the quality of the city. It starts from the concept of assessment as a system where tangible and intangible values are considered by the population and the experts. These include among other formal, economic, environmental, social, cultural issues (…) and the relationships between them. Consideration of the opinions of experts from different points of view such as urbanism and architecture but also environment, economy, geography, history, archeology, sociology, social assistance, etc. Together with the preferences expressed by the population regarding the spaces they inhabit on a daily basis and their aspirations, strengthen the sense of belonging and the identity of the place as key elements in the perception of the urban landscapes that allows to contribute new qualities, integration criteria and contemporary values to any type of intervention. These are strategies and intervention procedures that start from the complexity of the city as a system and incorporate the perception that citizens have or will have of their immediate environment.

Full textAbstract:
If the morphology and the studies on the urban form are closely related to the social aspects and are responsibility of architects and policy makers, the issue becomes even more complicated if we're talking about cities with a high number of buildings under public ownership or urban fragments with important dimensions. In Italy there is a very rare case of recent foundation that is the neighborhood Monteruscello in the city of Pozzuoli. Built in the 80s to face the bradisism events that had made uninhabitable other city areas, Monteruscello today, for its dimension, can be considered a "city in the city" where the 90% of the buildings are under public ownership. The neighborhood's project is designed by Agostino Renna who had built Monteruscello through analogical composition with fragments of spatial references of other places and cities. The architect has put in the neighborhood - mainly made up of rural areas - its urban model adapting it to the specific geography of places. During the years the neighborhood has never built an own identity becoming one of the most degraded areas of the city. The paper deals with the issue of urban form and morphology today starting from the study of Monteruscello - as imagined by its creator through the critical issues that underlie its design - and through an experimental design of a new agro-urban landscape for the neighborhood that involves three hectares of public green spaces - now abandoned - turning them into agricultural lands to urban use and growth resource.

Citizen-Led Urbanism in Latin America: Superbook of civic actions for transforming cities. Inter-American Development Bank, November 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.18235/0004582.
Full textAbstract:
This is a publication about citizen-led urbanism processes in Latin America. It follows the recent life of a movement originating from, and driven by and for citizens, who out of a compelling love for their cities, have brought together actors from all fields to co-create new, more inclusive and equitable public space models. By using tools such as innovation, creativity and co-responsible solidarity, citizen-led urbanism has been able to complement the traditional approaches to urban planning and city governance. This publication also invites us to move from the theory and concepts that provide the rationale for citizen-led urbanism to the actual practical experiences which are helping to shape it and consolidate it as a regional movement. It thus takes us on a journey through successful projects developed in different places and contexts of Latin America and looks at the experience of the first urban innovation labs, as a means to consider the paths that may lead to new horizons of an inclusive future, in view of the challenges, both known and yet to be known, of the first half of the 21st century. In less than one decade, with their impressive diversity and vigorous urban activity, members of the citizen-led urbanism movement have brought about changes in the streets, neighborhoods and cities where they live: changes in the way of thinking of authorities and fellow citizens; changes in public policies, which have an impact not only on the urban landscape, but also on how we relate to each other through our relationship with what we call “the urban” and with ecosystems, with our individual needs and with the urgency of organizing ourselves collectively to identify solutions for the common good. This is why this book became a superbook, i.e., an extensive compilation about a fabulous collective adventure, undertaken by thousands of people whose common denominator is creativity and their will to think and do things differently. We hope it may serve as an inspiration to its readers so that they, too, may take a leading role in this story.

This project was undertaken to provide the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs National Cemetery Administration with a cultural landscape survey of Knoxville National Cemetery. The 9.8-acre cemetery is located within the city limits of Knoxville, Tennessee, and contains more than 9,000 buri-als. Knoxville National Cemetery was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on 12 September 1996, as part of a multiple-property submission for Civil War Era National Cemeteries. The National Cemetery Administration tasked the U.S. Army Engineer Re-search and Development Center-Construction Engineering Research Laboratory (ERDC-CERL) to inventory and assess the cultural landscape at Knoxville National Cemetery through creation of a landscape development context, a description of current conditions, and an analysis of changes over time to the cultural landscape. All landscape features were included in the survey because according to federal policy on National Cemeteries, all national cemetery landscape features are considered to be contributing elements.

Full textAbstract:
The National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (NHPA) established the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP), which requires federal agencies to address their cultural resources, defined as any prehistoric or historic district, site, building, structure, or object. NHPA section 110 requires federal agencies to inventory and evaluate their cultural resources. Section 106 requires them to determine the effect of federal undertakings on properties deemed eligible or potentially eligible for the NRHP. Camp Perry Joint Training Center (Camp Perry) is located near Port Clinton, Ohio, and serves as an Ohio Army National Guard (OHARNG) training site. It served as an induction center during federal draft periods and as a prisoner of war camp during World War II. Previous work established boundaries for an historic district and recommended the district eligible for the NRHP. This project inventoried and evaluated Camp Perry’s historic cultural landscape and outlined approaches and recommendations for treatment by Camp Perry cultural resources management. Based on the landscape evaluation, recommendations of a historic district boundary change were made based on the small number of contributing resources to aid future Section 106 processes and/or development of a programmatic agreement in consultation with the Ohio State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO).

Full textAbstract:
The US Congress codified the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (NHPA), through establishing the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). The NHPA requires federal agencies to address their cultural resources, which are defined as any prehistoric or historic district, site, building, structure, or object. Section 110 of the NHPA requires federal agencies to inventory and evaluate their cultural resources, and Section 106 requires them to determine the effect of federal undertakings on those potentially eligible for the NRHP. Fort Gordon is located in northeast Georgia, directly west of Augusta-Richmond. It was first established as Camp Gordon during WWII for infantry and armor training. It has been known as Fort Gordon since 1956. This report provides historic context and recommends eligibility determinations for 24 buildings, structures, and landscapes associated with the Gordon Lakes Golf Club constructed between 1975 and 2009. The report recommends two Real Property landscapes (the Golf Driving Range and 18-Hole Golf Course including Gordon Lake) and one structure (Gordon Lake Dam) are eligible for the NRHP. The other 21 buildings and structures are recommended Not Eligible. Consulting with the Georgia State Historic Preservation Officer, this work fulfills Section 110 requirements for these buildings, structures, and landscapes.

Full textAbstract:
The U.S. Congress codified the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (NHPA) to provide guidelines and requirements for preserving tangible elements of our nation’s past. This preservation was done primarily through creation of the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP), which contains requirements for federal agencies to address, inventory, and evaluate their cultural resources, and to determine the effect of federal undertakings on properties deemed eligible or potentially eligible for the NRHP. This work inventoried and evaluated the historic landscapes within the National Landmark District at Fort Huachuca, Arizona. A historic landscape context was developed; an inventory of all landscapes and landscape features within the historic district was completed; and these landscapes and features were evaluated using methods established in the Guidelines for Identifying and Evaluating Historic Military Landscapes (ERDC-CERL 2008) and their significance and integrity were determined. Photographic and historic documentation was completed for significant landscapes. Lastly, general management recommendations were provided to help preserve and/or protect these resources in the future.

Indeed, Consumers could see no reason for a distinction between the information available at the physical premises to those online particularly given the increasing role of online food purchase. Consumers are already quite confident navigating the online landscape when it comes to researching and selecting restaurants and takeaways. They are accustomed to making the most of the information available online to make decisions around food. and are not necessarily demanding additional help. A range of criteria (including reviews; word of mouth) is used to help inform choices and decisions around food and hygiene in particular – but this information is vague, haphazard and unreliable. There is a lack of reliable, credible information about food hygiene in the online space. As many regard the FHRS as independent and credible there is some feeling that it would give online sites a “legitimacy” reviews and recommendations do not. Consumers make quick, off-the-cuff decisions when it comes to selecting and researching food. While they are familiar with and will make (at a glance) use of FHRS ratings on businesses’ physical premises, they are not actively seeking these out online where accessing ratings is currently a more involved process requiring navigation to another website. Consumers strongly support mandated FHRS online display and believe it would both help them make better decisions about food and encourage greater compliance by FBOs. FHRS ratings on FBO websites (and other online resources, like food aggregators) would be a useful addition to consumers’ repertoire of information. Consumers also feel FHRS online would have a positive impact on FBOs from a consumer perspective by making them more compliant. Consumers feel it is important that the ratings displayed online are trustworthy, as well as quick and easy to access. Consumers feel that FHRS ratings should be displayed as prominently online as they are on premises i.e. on the landing page. There is also a call for safeguards to be put in place to ensure FBOs can’t display ‘fake’ ratings.
