TY - THES A1 - Ciesla, Agnieszka T1 - “Shrinking city” in Eastern Germany. The Term in the context of urban development in Poland N2 - The aim of this doctoral thesis was to investigate whether the German term “shrinking city” is appropriate to depopulating Polish cities. In order to do so an attempt to define the currently still vague notion of “shrinking city” was made. The urban development of Eastern Germany was thoroughly examined both in a short term perspective and in a wide historical as well as international context, with the Polish urban development used as reference. 25 cities (kreisfreie Städte) in Eastern Germany and depopulating Polish cities: Łódź and the Metropolis Silesia were chosen as case studies. On the basis of the gathered information a “shrinking city” in Eastern Germany was defined as a city with a long-lasting population decrease coupled with over-dimensioned, growth-oriented development policies carried out for decades. Such a development path is triggering negative consequences in the spatial, economic and also demographic dimension, which tend to intensify each other. The thesis postulates that the definition of the “shrinking city in Eastern Germany” is not appropriate to depopulating cities in Poland. Polish cities are characterized by a short-lasting population decrease and this trend is not triggering negative spatial and economic consequences. Oversized growth development policies were never present in the cities and they still suffer from great deficiencies in housing and other basic infrastructure, which derive from the socialist period. Furthermore, radical de-economization, known from Eastern German cities, did not occur in the Polish cities. Both Łódź and the Metropolis Silesia remain main production centers of the country. This doctoral thesis presents a contradictory view to contemporary publications on “shrinking cities”, in which this phenomenon is regarded as having occurred suddenly after the collapse of the socialism. It proved that “shrinking cities” in Eastern Germany are not the outcome of short-lasting processes, but are deeply rooted in the past. Moreover, they represent a very distinct development pattern that highly differentiates from the one found in Central Eastern Europe and the one in Western Europe. In this way the doctoral thesis provided a new, critical approach to the discourse on “shrinking cities” in Germany. It also draws attention to the importance of the historical analysis in cities’ development research, particularly in cross border studies. In time of European integration peculiarities resulting from centuries of different spatial, economic and social development paths should not be underestimated.

In approaching this subject, two major questions are raised: what was the role of ancient Chinese rural clans in the spatial formation of their settlements and, nowadays, do they still play the same role as before? To approach these answers, this dissertation sets out to draw on systematically interdisciplinary research from the perspectives of socio-culture and architecture- planning to have an overall understanding of a Chinese clan organization and clan settlement. Then, the basic characteristics of traditional Chinese clans and their importance to the Chinese people are discussed by tracing the history and evolution of Chinese clan organizations in the dissertation. Two old villages, Furong and Cangpo in now Wenzhou, Zhejiang Province, are selected for case study research. And the research reveals that it was the clans that took charge of planning and managing the various construction activities, especially those of communal buildings and facilities, within their own settlements, and the clan lives exerted a decisive impact on shaping the settlement spaces, branding the characteristics of the clan lives clearly and deeply on the spaces. Following that, in the dissertation is described the transformation process of traditional Chinese clans in modern and contemporary China. The clan lives in rural areas have been reshaped and this exerts a great impact on clan settlement spaces. It is shown in the case studies of Furong and Cangpo.

The process of the Post Conflict Development is to be very hard to investigate, primarily for the combination of socio-cultural phenomena, war and political instability; having difficulties of conducting solid empirical analysis (obtaining reliable data) and dealing with war-torn communities. The multifaceted process of the reconstruction is ought to touch a lot of countries vital segments, whereas each of them requires different approach; coordination with one another; and unification in their common aim. The emergency of the assistance programs are not equal, same as with the priority and weight when compared with each other, therefore occasionally there are programs for the success of which the other less important actions are violated or neglected. The case is with the International Community presence ( the set up), which aside from their mission and projects, it is considered to play a very important role on the urban development of a post conflict city; the setting was never planned or considered in a holistic manner, therefore IC establishment was done ad hoc and it was guided by issues which did not help at its greatest to the urban development of the city and more over to the citizens who were most in need. The study is about the Urban Development, due to the fact that the biggest concentration of the International Community is likely to be in the urban centers, and the experienced changes are of a much considerable magnitude. The reconstruction phase is likely to be lasting at about 10 years and more , consequently the International Community for that time being tends to be recognized as temporary citizens of the city, and it is inevitably that they will be having an impact on the urban development of the city; in that basis it is considered to be significant that the International Community Establishment/Set Up be included into the International Organizations mission and assist in the overall mission of the reconstruction.

Recent Mars observations as well as laboratory investigations suggest that water is a key factor of current physical and chemical processes on the Martian surface, e.g. rheological phenomena. Therefore it is of particular interest to get information about the liquid-like state of water on Martian analogue soils for temperatures below 0 °C. To this end, a parallel plate capacitor has been developed to obtain isothermal dielectric spectra of fine-grained soils in the frequency range from 10 Hz to 1.1 MHz at Martian-like temperatures down to −70 °C. Two Martian analogue soils have been investigated: a Ca-bentonite (specific surface of 237 m2 g−1, up to 9.4% w / w gravimetric water content) and JSC Mars 1, a volcanic ash (specific surface of 146 m2 g−1, up to 7.4% w / w). Three soil-specific relaxation processes are observed in the investigated frequency–temperature range: two weak high-frequency processes (bound or hydrated water as well as ice) and a strong low-frequency process due to counter-ion relaxation and the Maxwell–Wagner effect. To characterize the dielectric relaxation behaviour, a generalized fractional dielectric relaxation model was applied assuming three active relaxation processes with relaxation time of the ith process modelled with an Eyring equation. The real part of effective complex soil permittivity at 350 kHz was used to determine ice and liquid-like water content by means of the Birchak or CRIM equation. There are evidence that bentonite down to −70 °C has a liquid-like water content of 1.17 monolayers and JSC Mars 1 a liquid-like water content of 1.96 monolayers.

Ziel der Arbeit war die Klärung, wie eine unterschiedliche Kationenbelegung mit Cu2+ und NH4+ die Eigenschaften der Bentonite bei Raumtemperatur und nach moderater Wärmebehandlung (300 – 450°C) beeinflusst. Im Blickpunkt stand insbesondere die gleichzeitige Präsenz von Kupfer- und Ammoniumionen, die als Vertreter für häufig auftretende Inhaltsstoffe von Wässern in der Umgebung von technischen Bentoniten ausgewählt wurden. Die Untersuchungen zur Cu2+-Sorption bei Raumtemperatur und nach moderater Wärmebehandlung (300 – 450°C) erfolgten an Pulverproben von zwei technischen Bentoniten, die sich in der ursprünglichen Kationenbelegung, Art und Anteil an Nebengemengteilen, sowie der Schichtladungsverteilung in den Montmorilloniten unterscheiden. Vor der Wärmebehandlung wurden die Bentonite durch Kontakt mit verschieden konzentrierten Kupfer- und Ammoniumlösungen mit unterschiedlichen Gehalten der Kationen Cu2+, NH4+, Na+, Ca2+, Mg2+ belegt. Der Eintrag von Kupferionen in die Bentonite durch Kationenaustausch bei Raumtemperatur wurde erwartungsgemäß durch präsente Nebengemengteile (wie Carbonat) beeinflusst, so dass die Kupferionen zusätzlich spezifisch adsorbiert und in festen Phasen angereichert wurden. Die Cu2+-Fixierung infolge der Wärmebehandlung wurde vom Cu2+-Totalgehalt in den Bentoniten, der Präsenz von Nebengemengteilen und die Schichtladungsverteilung in den Montmorilloniten beeinflusst. Es waren generell Behandlungstemperaturen von > 400°C erforderlich, um Cu2+-Fixierungsraten von > 95% zu erzielen. Waren während der Wärmebehandlung neben Cu2+-Ionen gleichzeitig NH4+-Ionen in den Bentoniten präsent, konnte die Cu2+-Fixierungstemperatur herabgesetzt werden. Die Deammonisierung (NH4+ --> NH3 + H+) der NH4+-belegten Bentonite fand größtenteils unterhalb der Dehydroxylierungstemperatur der Bentonite statt. Durch Untersuchungen (XRD, FTIR, NMR, ESR) zum Mechanismus der Cu2+-Einbindung in die Bentonite an speziell aufbereiteten Proben (carbonatfrei, < 2 µm) konnte nachgewiesen werden, dass in den Cu2+-belegten Montmorilloniten die Cu2+-Ionen infolge der Wärmebehandlung nicht bis in die Oktaederschicht der Tonminerale vordringen, sondern nur bis in die Tetraederschicht wandern. In den NH4+-belegten Montmorilloniten treten im Zusammenhang mit der Deammonisierung keine zusätzlichen Strukturänderungen (wie Auflösung der Oktaederschicht) infolge der Wärmebehandlung auf.
