The article presents preliminary results and qualitative analysis obtained from the doctoral research provisory entitled “How do Brazilian ‘battlers’ reside?”, which is in progress at the Institute for European Urban Studies, Bauhaus Univer-sity Weimar. It critically discusses the contradictions of the production of residences in Brazil made by an emerging so-cial group, lately called the Brazilian new middle class. For the last ten years, a number of government policies have provoked a general improvement of the purchasing power of the poor. Between those who completely depend on the government to survive and the upper middle class, there is a wide (about 100 million people) and economically stable lower middle group, which has found its own ways of dealing with its demand for housing. The conventional models of planning, building and buying are not suitable for their technical, financial and personal needs. Therefore, they are con-currently planners, constructors and residents, building and renovating their own properties themselves, but still with very limited education and technical knowledge and restricted access to good building materials and constructive ele-ments, formal technicians, architects or engineers. On the one hand, the result is an informal and more or less autono-mous self-production, with all sorts of technical problems and very interesting and creative spatial solutions to every-day domestic situations. On the other hand, the repercussions for urban space are questionable: although basic infrastructure conditions have improved, building densities are high and green areas are few. Lower middle class neigh-bourhoods present a restricted collective everyday life. They look like storage spaces for manpower; people who live to work in order to be able to consume—and build—what they could not before. One question is, to what extent the lat-est economic rise of Brazil has really resulted in social development for lower middle income families in the private sphere regarding their residences, and in the collective sphere, regarding the neighbourhoods they inhabit and the ur-ban space in general.
Settlement is human place to live and do various activities (Finch, 1980). Concept of settlement layout is closely associated with human and a set of thoughts and behaviors. In this case, idea of pattern of activities in a society that is core of a culture becomes main factor in process of formation of houses and environment in a settlement. Factors which affecting form (physical) of architecture in a settlement environment are socio-cultural, economic, and religious determinant factor that manifested architectural realization (Rapoport, 1969).
Yogyakarta as the continuation of kingdom city in the Java Island finally exists as an Islamic kingdom that still remain to survive up to now. Impacts of this issue is appearance of various Moslem settlements to support typical character of an Islamic Kingdom.
Mlangi is an area of oldest Moslem settlements in Yogyakarta has not been explored in details for progress especially in physical glasses recently. Everything basic group and individual who arrange houses and residences, starts from how it has spatial concept alone. Although concept is a very abstract thing to explain in details, but its existence can be detected by how they created their physical environment.
This research conducted by these research questions: (1) What are spatial concepts owned by people in Mlangi and (2) How do spatial concepts owned by the people affect the settlements pattern?
Process to search spatial concept owned by the people in Moslem residence, making Mlangi as study area, was approached by using phenomenological research method. The researcher have to self-involved directly in unstructured interviews, but remained in guideline framework of in interviews to make research process effective. Fistly, the researcher interviewed the key person, they are the head of Mlangi administration (pak Dukuh) in Mlangi and Sawahan. They were then give advices to who was capable person that could draw the spatial concept and had many story and knew the history of the settlements. Step by step of interview guided from one informant to next informant when the information had been told repeatedly. The next informant based on the last informant advice or who had close relationship with the last theme appeared. To complete the narration and draw the result of interview, researcher have to add additional information with photograph and descriptive picture that can be draw the settlement empirically.
In process, 17 information units which found in field were consistent with sequence of interview events and flowing of theme to theme associated with Moslem residence of residence. Finally the interviews succeeded in abstracting 16 themes that may be classified into historic, socio-cultural, and spatial-concept dimensions in Mlangi. Process of analysis to find spatial concept owned by the people in Moslem settlements was carried out by dialogue of themes to find available substantive relationship.
Four concepts successfully analyzed consist of concepts of personage, concept of religious implementation, concept of Jero-Jaba and concept of Interest. The four concepts are really associated with one and others in understanding how spatial concept owned by the people affects residence they occupy. Yet, concept of Jero-Jaba bases all concepts of people in Mlangi . This concept can be used to draw red yarn on how they utilize communal spaces in residence and layout rooms of their individual houses. This concept also eternalize residence patterns existing in Mlangi now where residence does not experience many changes from starting of this residence existence (from detection of generation currently still living), namely residence patterns concentrate on orientation to Masjid Pathok Negoro of Mlangi.
This research was opening the potential research area, at least for the sociology, anthropology and demography research interest. So many unique character in Mlangi if looked at from how they maintain their spatial concept and manifested in their daily activities. How the people will concern only for the religious activities and the economic concern only for survival aspect in live.

Die Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit den Auswirkungen des Baus von neuen Stadtautobahnen in Santiago de Chile. Ziel der Studie ist, die Veränderungen im Segregationsmuster der Hauptstadt Chiles, die durch den Bau dieser Autobahnen entstanden sind, zu beschreiben.
Die Arbeit betrachtet die Entstehung von Segregationsmustern als kulturell-historisches Phänomen urbaner Bedeutung, weswegen die Entwicklung der Stadt Santiago und deren Segregationsmuster nicht nur aus der Perspektive der Stadtsoziologie und der Stadtgeographie, sondern auch aus einer historischen Perspektive analysiert wird. Dabei liegt der Schwerpunkt der Arbeit auf der Wechselbeziehung zwischen Verkehrsinfrastruktur und sozial-räumlicher Verteilung der verschiedenen sozialen Gruppen.
Die Entstehung der neuen Stadtautobahnen in Santiago de Chile lässt sich nur durch eine mehrdimensionale Betrachtung erklären. Diese Bauten und die besondere Art in der sie gebaut und betrieben werden, konnten nur durch die Einführung von Konzessionsmechanismen innerhalb einer neoliberalen Markwirtschaft entstehen. In diesem sozial-ökonomischer Rahmen, bei dem die Bürger lediglich als potenzielle Kunden betrachtet werden, sind die Infrastrukturbauten – darunter auch die Stadtautobahnen – maßgeschneiderte Produkte für eine Minderheit. Dieses Konzept hat gravierende Folgen für das Sozialgefüge der Stadt Santiago.
Die Folgen der Einführung der Stadtautobahnen auf das Segregationsmuster und das Sozialgefüge der Hauptstadt Chiles werden anhand zweier Fallstudien veranschaulicht. Mittels einer mehrschichtigen qualitativen Methodik werden die Auswirkungen des Baus von Stadtautobahnen im Armenviertel »Santo Tomás« des südlichen Stadtbezirk »La Pintana« und im elitären »Condominio La Reserva« im nördlichen Ausdehnungsgebiet »Chacabuco« analysiert.
Anschließend wird ein neues Beschreibungsmodell für die lateinamerikanische Stadt vorgeschlagen; das »symbiotische Stadtmodell« stützt sich zum größten Teil auf den Ausbau des Autobahnnetzes.
Abstract
In this research, based on socio-spatiality as the starting point, it has conducted extensive city space analysis to advance a new urban social space theory. Resting upon the basis of traditional continent philosophy, this social space theory has adopted the structuration methods, at the same time trying to build certain combination between theoretical frame work establishment and empirical observations. Therefore, the socio-spatial transition study is neither a macro theory of traditional structuralism nor a typology of urban planning theory, or a positivism social geography, but an operative theory on practical purpose. Firstly, what’s distinct from the traditional structuralism is that this study examines the endless transiting structural relations, not macroscopic narrations of absolute definition and structure. In fact, any city and space are always co-existed in their structurational transiting relationship, thus research in transition has become the main body of this study. And case study is a must for research in transition, as part of efforts to apply the structuration concept into practice reason. Secondly, this study first establishes the fundamental structuration concept of socio-spatial transition, which, as an operative tool, is applied to conduct transition analysis on specific case about the City of Beijing. Therefore, as a social space theory, referring to as science, remains criticism of traditional continent philosophy. However, this criticism did not working on the level of ideology or conceptions, but on transiting under structural relations, keeping it from incompetent ideology criticism of continental critical theory. Unfortunately contemporary urban and space development have now gone extremely unbalanced under a background of globalization; yet traditional macro theories are incapable of either producing significant impact on practice or helping people identify practical problems. While facing general issues, particularly the Chinese urban issue category established on a meta-structured city mode, the micro-case study has plunged into dilemma for unknowing either to ask questions or to answer questions. Therefore, this study is set to identify dilemma and find direction for future relevant research. In this dissertation, Beijing is used as a model, and structuration methods as tools. It has extensively analyzed the social-spatial transition of the city space of Beijing, acquiring brand-new knowledge of its urban space development. It is helpful to an in-depth understanding of the city space development not only in Beijing, but also in many other cities that were influenced by the capital model of Beijing. Since the start of reform and opening-up, China has created a unique development mode of the new-styled metropolitan and urbanization in history. This research is expected to analyze or decode what China’s urban development in between communal space and associative space.
As human thought was developing, likewise, the technology used for illumination was growing. But a haul through history, reviewing its pages and analyzing it, inherently brings up old and new question, like: Is it possible to alter negatively the image of historic buildings and monuments through inadequate lighting to the degree of distorting the perception that people have of the work? and if so, what are the causes that generate it? Do the light designers take into consideration criteria to protect not only historic buildings and monuments, but also the environment? What are the consequences that may generate the inadequate lighting of urban heritage to the environment? What are the factors to consider for a proper illumination of urban heritage? The answers to these questions will help lay the foundation for proper illumination of the urban heritage, avoiding at the maximum the light pollution and the effects that it generates, seeking a balance and harmonious reconciliation between the technology, urban heritage and environment, taking as a framework and the case study the urban heritage of a city from the colonial era in southern Mexico, with pre-Hispanic roots and where today you can still see through its streets and buildings an atmosphere of mysticism reflection of their folklore and traditions, this city is known as Chiapa de Corzo, Chiapas.
The conservation of living heritage sites is a highly complex process. Two factors need careful consideration in order to achieve a balance in the management of such sites: the conservation demands of conservation experts for built heritage and the needs of local people for development of their heritage living space. The complexity of factors involved make for an interesting study of living heritage, taken up by this research in its main case study of the town of Nan in Thailand.
Research into the historical background of Nan and its cultural heritage reveals a living heritage site, which is both unique and diverse. Present day Nan was examined using a variety of analysis tools, which were applied to data from interviews, empirical data, field surveys, and documents, in order to better understand the nature of the living heritage site and changing trends over time. Luang Prabang in Lao PDR, a World Heritage site since 1995, was also selected as a further case study with which to compare Nan’s potential World Heritage status from a point of view of changes to living heritage attributes.
The outcomes of the research indicate the importance of the management of the sites, which can be at risk of losing balance by focusing on one aspect of heritage to the detriment of the other. The conservation perspective, if allowed to dominate, as in Luang Prabang, can cause irreparable damage to the social fabric, where the development needs of the town are not met. This research concludes that a balance of power amongst stakeholders in the collaborative networks managing such sites is vital to sustaining a balance of living heritage attributes.
This is a work concerned with the increasing processes of social exclusion in cities nowadays. In approaching this phenomenon, the research highlights how people interact with their institutional environments. This is also, perhaps centrally, an investigation into the possibility to engage an individual perspective to understand the transformation in urban experience, which is orienting society to new uses and forms of exclusion. Following the perspective deployed by the so-called “sociology of individuals” in French sociology or “reengagement of agency” in the Anglo-Saxon world; I claim that individuals as well as collectives are gaining increasing power to question and re-organize institutions. This re-organization, in the case of socio-urban institutions, is no guarantee for major levels in integration, cohesion, and equality. Unfortunately, social institutions are becoming hard in its exclusionary capabilities under people intervention during the last four decades.
I believe that urban sociology is a field of struggle between different perspectives competing to “make sense” of social phenomena in cities. The orientation supported in this research is just one on many and it follows the roots of people and their life experiences within cities and how they influence the processes that shape the city. The last formulation is possibly not the clearest, because as we all know, references to “inhabitants” are presented in every variant of urban sociology. Nevertheless, there are not many variants focusing on peoples’ capability to influence institutional environments and by this way affecting the urban condition in which they find themselves. The particular institution selected for this study is the “School”.
This thesis is organized around two parts: part one includes the conceptual framework, methodological approach, and historical contextualization; part two describes three case studies produced to analyse the forms of and the relations between individuals and school institution. Part one starts from a premise: within the context of declining welfare State in the case of industrialized countries, an important part of urban studies focuses on economic and spatial restructuration. Confronted with the same situation, a part of social sciences shifts to the individuals’ agency and social uncertainty. This research is embedded in the last theoretical description presented above, thus, because it tries to observe urban processes from the perspective of the individual and outside of developed economies. In this sense, Latin America represents a fundamental reference because urban conditions are historically marked by weak institutional arrangements to integrating people and large levels of marginality and exclusion among population. In this scenario individuals’ practices around inclusion-exclusion have an essential meaning in everyday life.
Part two offers three study cases in which the relation between individuals and school institutions has been analyzed for the Metropolitan area of Santiago de Chile (MAS). Using different methodological resources an exhaustive account on three levels is presented: i) geo-referencing State intervention in public policies connected with neighborhood and schools to understand the form and extent of socio-urban exclusion in MAS, ii) narrative biographies applied to parents with children attending primary school, in order to reconstruct the familiar process of school selection and describing its impacts on the stabilization of school as an exclusionary device, and iii) autoethnography to describe in detail the temporal dimension involved in stabilizing actions which reinforces social mechanisms of urban integration-exclusion during the last three decades in Chile.
A key argument advanced by this research proposes that: the way in which the idea of integration is enacted by people in their biographical careers imprints changes on the institutional orientation and by this way, contributes to the reorganization urban life. The high level of social exclusion in Santiago de Chile is not accountable without considering transformation in all socio-urban institutions, especially the school. No family considers social integration with people from a low social, economical or cultural background as relevant orientation for school selection. This particularity of the Chilean social reality is not derivable from any big capitalistic or modernization processes impacting our cities.
Within the light of the thesis findings, I conclude that socio-urban institutions logics must be reassessment under the influences of people actions and representations. I also propose a consideration to major complementarities between urban studies and urban-institutions analysis. The school institutions is not just a sectorial field reserved to the researcher in education, on the contrary, it represent a key entrance to address people’s experience in their institutional urban environments. The re-emergence of social and urban movements in 2010, under the “Arab Spring” or the “Chilean Student Movements”, is not only a demonstration in the public space as result of major global trends. These situations are in essence, for this research, individuals gathering together and calling for recognition and autonomy inside institutional environment that tends to reject them. Similar situation was the focus of the Latin American urban sociology research, within the focus on grassroots and urban social movements at the end of the 1960s and beginning of the 1970s.
In both cases, socio-urban institutions, unaware of recognition requirements claimed by inhabitants, are not beyond individual or collective reach. My main concern is to show that socio-urban institutions are constantly re-shaped as a result of individual action, what makes the difference, is the spirit that we all, socially, imprint on the logics of our socio-urban institutions, moving them to inclusion or exclusion.
Rapid urbanisation that is not accompanied by socio-economic development strains the capacity of local and national governments to provide even basic services such as shelter. Informal settlements i.e. settlements not built or developed according to the formal regulations have become a solution to many urban dwellers in developing countries. In Tanzania informal settlements accommodate people from low, middle and high income groups. The study explores the nature of potentials and challenges posed by the existence of mixed socio-economic groups in informal settlements, including an assessment of what can be done to optimise utilisation of potentials and mitigation of conflicts. Using a case study strategy, the study was conducted in Dar es Salaam city focusing on Makongo mixed informal settlement.
The results show that mixed informal settlements are as a result of several factors including uncoordinated energies of people. The urban development forces that bring change in the development of the city are stronger than the public states capacity to coordinate and manage them. Informal settlements also offer user-friendly land tenure, flexibility in house construction and proximity to livelihoods. Other factors include the nature of socio-economic living patterns and extension of urban boundaries. Community members operate using social norms. Advantages of mixed informal settlements include availability of plots according to needs and affordability while a disadvantage is, people of different socio-economic groups perceive problems differently.
For policies to be effective, their formulation should be derived from what is happening on the ground i.e. addressing informal settlements according to their heterogeneity. Moreover, empowered local authorities can assist in implementing national development plans; also actors in land development including government institutions, non-governmental institutions, financial institutions, private sector, professionals, political leaders, research institutions, policy-makers and training institutions need to recognise, understand and respect each other’s roles, and pull resources together to minimise problems related to informality in land development; utilise potentials and minimise challenges in mixed informal settlements in Dar es Salaam.
Key words: Informal settlements, land development, urbanisation
Exploratory Research into Transformation Processes of Former Industrial Complexes of Leipziger Baumwollspinnerei (Leipzig) and Mattatoio di Testaccio (Rome); New Meanings of Industrial Heritage
Physical manifestations of the Industrial Revolution left a permanent imprint on the complexion of cities. Abandonment that followed the deindustrialization contributed to an estrangement, turning derelict industrial spaces and run‐down factories into a ballast to conjure with. At present, industrial heritage management applies flexibility and creativity, partially overcoming the essentially traditional paradigm of heritage preservation. This approach permits sustainable conservation – utilization and integration of disused industrial constructs in the contemporary urban landscape. Being a part of the European cultural stock, industrial heritage is an exciting and unique setting from many perspectives. It is defined and consumed by many markets, ranging from the industrial heritage tourism to the market of special events and festivals. Reused industrial buildings and factories come into view as products of post‐industrial societies, fitting to the Western post‐industrial (consumer) culture, offering a field of activities that are at an interface between the industrial history and contemporary socio‐cultural milieu.
Alteration of values, growth of new roles and definitions of industrial heritage, generated by functional restructuring, is a subject which is often left behind the general discussion about sustainable conservation and adaptive reuse of industrial heritage. Yet, in the modified state, industrial heritage is very complex to understand and to define.
By conducting a desk and a case study research of former industrial complexes – Leipziger Baumwollspinnerei and Mattatoio di Testaccio, this doctoral thesis aims to identify industrial heritage as a contemporary (post‐industrial) concept. Observation of ideas, values and definitions that emerge as a consequence of the transformation and re‐conceptualization of industrial heritage are intended to raise awareness and appreciation of industrial heritage in the full richness of its contemporary interpretation.
Die Dissertation Staubaufwirbeln oder die Kunst der Partizipation stellt die Frage, ob und inwiefern künstlerische Interventionen zur Aktualisierung und Entwicklung demokratischer Teilhabe beitragen können. Im Zentrum der Untersuchung stehen sechs Projektgruppen, die experimentelle Freiräume gestalten, in denen neue Formen von Demokratielernen, Stadtnutzung, gesellschaftlicher Repräsentation und Symbolpolitik erprobt werden. Die Kunst der Partizipation wird in fünf Dimensionen beschrieben: Initiative, Kollektivität, Inszenierung, Öffentlichkeit und Kooperation. Sie erweitert damit das Repertoire demokratischer Beteiligungsformen sowie gegenwärtige Kunstbegriffe. Ihre heimliche Relevanz besteht darin, sich immer wieder dem Risiko auszusetzen, von allen Seiten als unzureichend betrachtet zu werden. Demokratie konstituiert sich hier als ästhetische Erfahrung. Die Kunst besteht darin, die Flüchtigkeit demokratischer Teilhabe erfahrbar zu machen, also gestaltbar und veränderbar.
This paper divides into a theoretical and a practical part. The former describes the relevance of the flow of people for urban development and the appraisal of HST related issues. Further Space Syntax and its main ideas and measures are introduced, like the role of axial maps and their preparation for
example. Part one also contains background information about the collection of data on site in Leipzig.
The second part exemplifies the case of the City-Tunnel Project in Leipzig, Germany and the practical use of the Space Syntax method. The project stands for the implementation of a future regional train network in the wider metropolitan area of Leipzig and Halle
Für das städtische Leben hat die Existenz sich verändernder Personenströme eine grundlegende Bedeutung.
Ein Werkzeug, das solche kollektiven Bewegungsmuster sichtbar machen kann, wäre dabei ein bedeutendes Hilfsmittel für die Stadtplanung. Im Mittelpunkt der vorliegenden Arbeit steht die Auseinandersetzung mit der Space Syntax Methode.
Diese untersucht den Zusammenhang räumlicher Strukturen mit deren Nutzung. Eine wichtige Erkenntnis ist, dass das kollektive menschliche Verhalten im öffentlichen Raum berechenbar ist. Die Tatsache, dass Passanten bestimmte Wege bevorzugen und andere meiden, führt Space Syntax dabei auf stadträumliche Ursachen zurück. Der Begriff des Natural Movement beschreibt den Anteil dieser räumlich bedingten Nutzung.
Die vorliegende Arbeit gliedert sich in einen theoretischen und einen praktischen Teil. Zunächst werden die für das Verständnis der Space Syntax Methode wichtigen Begriffe und Maßgrößen beschrieben. Der methodische Teil wird ergänzt durch eine Gegenüberstellung nutzer-basierter wissenschaftlicher Ansätze mit der räumlich-orientierten Space Syntax Methode.
Im zweiten Teil der Arbeit wird die praktische Anwendung der Space Syntax Methode am Beispiel des Leipziger City-Tunnels vorgenommen. Das Fallbeispiel ist prädestiniert für die Untersuchung, wie die regionale Vernetzung des Schienenverkehrs aktuell betrieben wird. Von Interesse ist dabei sowohl die Konzeption des zukünftigen Liniennetzes als auch dessen stadträumliche Einbindung.
Resumen
La pregunta de investigación que guía el trabajo es: ¿cuál es la lógica de reproducción urbana de una ciudad intermedia en el contexto de los territorios possocialista? y ¿por qué referimos a esa lógica en términos de desarrollo urbano posfordista? Lo que se demuestra con esta investigación es cómo la forma particular de entrecruzamiento de territorialidades - estrategias espacializadas de los agentes - y las sinergias que de ellas se derivan con sus respectivas expresiones en el espacio, caracterizan el desarrollo urbano de Weimar.
El objetivo general del trabajo es interpretar el tipo de desarrollo urbano posfordista alcanzado por esta ciudad intermedia, que se configura en relación a su hinterland inmediato como una ciudad-región en una región de ciudades. Los objetivos específicos son: contextualizar geohistóricamente la ciudad-región Weimar, analizar los factores que posibilitan y condicionan el desarrollo urbano, identificar la constelación de agentes sociales que participan en el proceso de governance de la ciudad considerando sus estrategias, e indagar sobre las sinergias territoriales a partir del cruce y convergencia de esas estrategias convertidas en territorialidades.
En el trabajo se aplico una lógica metodológica cualitativa de investigación basada en: relevamiento bibliográfico, lectura de periódicos locales y regionales, observaciones in situ, captación de atmósfera, entrevistas complementadas con estadísticas oficiales y recolección de folletos informativos.
Uno de los principales aportes del trabajo es la definición del concepto de desarrollo urbano posfordista como una modalidad de reproducción urbana en el contexto de relaciones capitalistas de producción caracterizadas por producción flexible, terciarización de servicios públicos, creación de nuevos niveles territoriales de regulación, flexibilización de los mercados de trabajo urbano y precarización de las condiciones de vida. En las últimas décadas se asiste a cambios profundos en las ciudades. Así, es posible hablar de ciudades en transición que ensayan diversidad de modalidades ante los desafíos que implican estos cambios. En efecto, en muchos espacios urbanos comenzaron a suceder procesos de rápida desindustrialización y/o reindustrialización, con lo cual las ciudades han perdido parcialmente su base económica o han debido reestructurarse como un lugar vinculado a la economía de servicios. Incluso en aquellas ciudades que mantuvieron industrias de producción masiva, propias de las llamadas economía fordista, como por ejemplo la industria automotriz, requirieron importantes cambios en sus planificaciones espaciales. De este modo, los cambios en las modalidades de producción y sus impactos socioterritoriales en el contexto de la glocalización permiten observar el paso de una sociedad fordista a una posfordista.

AUSGANGSPUNKT
Die Spannung zwischen Sanierung und sozialem Wandel Nach dem Wegzug der mittleren Schichten aus den Innenstädten gibt es seit mehr als 50 Jahren ein öffentliches Bestreben, europäische Städte zu sanieren. Damit soll die Attraktivität dieser Stadtteile gesteigert sowie Investitionen gefördert werden. In mehreren wissenschaftlichen Arbeiten und empirischen Untersuchungen über die Ergebnisse dieser Sanierungspolitik haben Forscher vor den negativen Effekten für die Anwohner gewarnt und den Begriff der „Gentrifizierung“ eingeführt. Die Aufwertung der Innenstädte sei mit einem sozialen Umstrukturierungsprozess durch den wachsenden Druck am Wohnungsmarkt und eine kontinuierliche Mietpreiserhöhung verbunden.
FRAGESTELLUNG
Die Sanierungsprojekte, die in den 80er-Jahren im Rahmen der I.B.A. entwickelt wurden, sind international als „good practice“ bezeichnet worden. Die zwölf Leitsätze der „behutsamen Stadterneuerung“ sind das Vorzeigekind der deutschen Sanierungspraxis. Diese Erfahrungen wurden nach dem Fall der Mauer auf die Situation im Prenzlauer Berg übertragen. Die vorliegende Arbeit (in französischer Sprache) ist der Frage nachgegangen, inwiefern die behutsame Stadterneuerung in Berlin Prenzlauer Berg als Modell städtebaulicher Politik im Altbaugebiet dienen kann? „Modell“ ist dabei nicht als Reproduktionsmodell, sondern im Sinne von „Vorbild“ gemeint. ...

5) eine Skizze zur literaturbasierten Forschung. Der Beitrag stellte zahlreiche Bezüge zur Stadtforschung her und nutzt Beispiele zur Illustration der Inhalte.
Post Conflict Reconstruction is a very complex topic, whether it is to be undertaken by the Local or the International Community. 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.
This dissertation attempts to describe, analyze and evaluate how the settlement spaces of Chinese clans in rural areas were shaped by local clan lives in ancient times and transformed along with the transition of those clan organizations in modern China. 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.
Städte bezeugen in vielfältiger Weise soziale Gegebenheiten und kulturelle Prak- tiken. Sie schreiben lokale Traditionen fort, erzeugen Neues und dienen zugleich als Projektionsfläche von Wünschen und Hoffnungen. Städte sind Landschaften aus Zeichen. Man kann diese dekodieren, mithin lesen. Der interdisziplinäre Band reflektiert die Lesbarkeit des Städtischen und versammelt Beispiele urbaner Hermeneutik aus der Sozial- und Kulturwissenschaft, der Literatur-, Medien- und Filmwissenschaft und der Architektur- und Städtebautheorie.
There is a continuous exacerbation of environmental problems in big cities of today’s world, thereby, diminishing the quality of life in them. Of particular concern is the fact that today’s megacities are evolving in the developing world without corresponding growth in the economy, infrastructure and other human development indices. As urban population continues to grow in these cities of the Global South, governing institutions are usually unable to keep pace with their social responsibilities, thus, making the issue of urban governance very critical. This is because effective and efficient urban governance is highly essential for the creation, strengthening and sustenance of governing institutions.
Lagos, a mega-city of over 15.45 million people and the most populous metropolitan area on the African continent epitomizes the fundamental grave characteristics of the emerging megacities of the Global South, thereby, constituting an apt choice in understanding the emerging megacities of the next generation. Two out of every three Lagos residents live in slums and de-humanizing physical and social conditions. Many of them sleep, work, eat and cook under highway bridges, at the mercy of weather elements.
This research, therefore, evaluated urban governance through housing administration in Africa’s largest megacity. It examines the extent of housing problems in the city, the causal factors and the culpability of government agencies statutorily responsible for the provision, control and management of housing development in Lagos - the tenth largest city in the world. A representative geographic part of the city which manifests classic characteristics of slum life, listed by Mike Davis as the largest slum in Africa and the 6th largest in the world – Ajegunle - was adopted for case study. The research design combined rigorous literature search (desk research) with quantitative and, especially, qualitative approaches to data collection. The qualitative approach was more intensely adopted because government officials often respond to enquiries with ‘official answers and data’ which may not be reliable and the study had to rely on keen observation of physical traces, social interaction and personal investigation. The cross-sectional research method was adopted. Information was solicited from house-owners, building industry professionals, sociologists and officials of relevant government agencies, through research tools like questionnaires, interviews, focused group discussions and personal observations.
The analysis and discussion of these field data, in conjunction with the information from the desk research gave a better understanding of the status-quo, which informed the recommendations proposed in the dissertation for mitigating the problems. The research discovered that many of the statutory housing agencies have the capacity to effectively discharge their responsibilities. However, it was also shown that corruption and abdication of responsibilities by the staff of these agencies constitute primary causes of the chasm between the anticipated lofty outcome from the laudable building regulations/bye-laws and the appalling reality. It also discovered that lack of political will and apathy on the part of successive Governments of Lagos State to the improvement of housing conditions of the poor masses are major causes of the housing debacle in Lagos.
Several germane and realistic recommendations for redressing the situation were subsequently proffered. These include amongst others, the conduction of an accurate census for Lagos, in conjunction with credible international agencies, as a requisite basis for effective planning of any sort. The process of obtaining legal titles for land should also be made less cumbersome, while the housing administration process should be computerized; in order to reduce inter-personal contacts between applicants and government officials to the barest minimum, as a means of curbing the wide spread corruption in the system.
Die Arbeit behandelt die Geschichte der Landesplanung in Mitteldeutschland und besteht aus zwei Teilen: den Zeiträumen der 1920 und 1990 Jahre. Dabei wird die Herausbildung der Landesplanung im mitteldeutschen Industriegebiet (um Merseburg) bzw. Thüringen behandelt. Die kognitiven, institutionellen und planerischen Grundlagen der Landesplanung werden herausgearbeitet. Dabei spielen die paradigmatischen Grundlagen (Dezentralisierung) sowie die internationalen Beziehungen (insbes. zu den USA) eine besondere Rolle. Schließlich werden das Wirken von Schlüsselpersonen (u.a. Prager, Luthardt, Langen) und die Bezüge zum Bauhaus untersucht. Die Analyse des Planwerks für Mitteldeutschland (1932) wird umfassend geführt. In der Analyse der Entstehung können erste Ansätze nicht-linearer Planung herausgearbeitet werden. Der zweite Teil der Arbeit widmet sich dem Industriellen Gartenreich, einem Projekt der Stiftung Bauhaus Dessau, das als Korrespondenzregion zur EXPO anerkannt worden war. Hier stehen das Gesamtkonzept, aber auch Projekte wie Ferropolis im Zentrum der Betrachtung. Die Analysen der Landesplanung werden in ihren Bezügen zur gesellschaftlichen und konkret wirtschaftlichen Entwicklung behandelt. Schließlich werden beide Entwicklungsphasen und deren landesplanerischen Resultate übergreifend bewertet und in einem Modell emergent-adaptiver Planung verortet und ein Ausblick auf die Entwicklung der Landesplanung als nicht-lineare Planung gegeben.
