Natural urban resilience is a non-strategical and bottom-up, everyday form of general urban resilience - an urban system's ability to maintain its essential characteristics under any change. This study gains significance by exposing conceptual gaps in the current un-derstanding of general urban resilience and highlighting its unconvincing applicability to African cities. This study attains further relevance by highlighting the danger of the ongoing large-scale redevelopment of the inner city. The inner city has naturally formed, and its urban memory, spaces, and social cohesion contribute to its primarily low-income population's resilience. This thesis argues that the inner city's demolition poses an incalculable risk of maladaptation to future stresses and shocks for Addis Ababa. The city needs a balanced urban discourse that highlights the inner city's qualities and suggests feasible urban transformation measures. "Natural Urban Resilience" contributes an empirical study to the debate by identifying those aspects of the inner city that contribute to general resilience and identifies feasible action areas. This study develops a qualitative research design for a single case study in Addis Ababa. The data is obtained through expert interviews, interviews with resi-dents, and the analysis of street scene photos, which are abstracted using Grounded Theory. That way, this thesis provides first-time knowledge about who and what generates urban resilience in the inner city of Addis Ababa and how. Furthermore, the study complements existing theories on general urban resilience. It provides a detailed understanding of the change mechanisms in resilience, of which it identifies four: adaptation, upgrading, mitigation, and resistance. It also adapts the adaptive cycle, a widely used concept in resilience thinking, conceptually for urban environments. The study concludes that the inner city's continued redevelopment poses an incalculable threat to the entire city. Therefore, "Natural urban resilience" recommends carefully weighing any intervention in the inner city to promote Addis Ababa's overall resilience. This dissertation proposes a pattern language for natural urban resilience to support these efforts and to translate the model of natural urban resilience into practice.}, subject = {Stadtforschung}, language = {en} } @phdthesis{Podlaszewska, author = {Podlaszewska, Rizky Suci Ammalia}, title = {The Placemaking of Destination. Localization and Commoditization process of Urban Tourism. Study case Palembang Indonesia}, doi = {10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.3699}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20171201-36995}, school = {Bauhaus-Universit{\"a}t Weimar}, abstract = {This research addresses the discourse of tourism as a tool for place-making of urban destination. Relevant to the study of place-making is the analysis of the commoditization and localization process dependent upon the appropriation of urban landscape and local cultures. In the research, localization is interpreted as the act of determining the attributes of locality, while commoditization is defined as the process by which local attributes that have commercial potential end up in becoming tourism commodity. Following this, the commoditization of intrinsic cultural value is disseminated within a branding strategy and intervention reflecting social and political relations. Therefore, the research suggests that tourism place-making has not only been constructed through the top-down regulatory body, but has been also generated through the attributes of its locality. By utilizing the critical and constructivist paradigm, the research depicts the conditions of the localization and commoditization process in establishing the base line of its realization within the symbolic economy. Thus, a qualitative case study approach was adopted. The study area of this dissertation is Palembang, as one of the capital cities in Indonesia advancing in its overall urban development. To investigate urban tourism as a tool for development strategy, it is useful to investigate the role of tourism which embodies (1) spatial transformation; how tourism gives significant impacts on urban form, and (2) the socio-cultural aspect; how neighbourhood is related to tourism industry. The findings suggest that tourism place-making involves the reciprocity of urban dynamics: cities take on tourism as a reference model of development, and tourist areas adopt the proliferation of cultural lifestyle to meet the industry's demands.}, subject = {Urbanistik}, language = {en} } @misc{Schaber, type = {Master Thesis}, author = {Schaber, Carsten}, title = {Space Syntax als Werkzeug zur Analyse des Stadtraums und menschlicher Fortbewegung unter besonderer Ber{\"u}cksichtigung schienengebundener Verkehrssysteme}, doi = {10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.2112}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20140204-21129}, school = {Bauhaus-Universit{\"a}t Weimar}, pages = {109}, abstract = {F{\"u}r das st{\"a}dtische Leben hat die Existenz sich ver{\"a}ndernder Personenstr{\"o}me eine grundlegende Bedeutung.
