Declinazione mediterranea di un’urbanistica sostenibile: Marseille Euroméditerranée II
2013
The testing of models of sustainable development in a growing number of cities shows that this has become one of the priority tasks in urban planning, requiring the use of new paradigms of reference, new design principles and new tools for action. At the beginning of the last century the materials used in urban planning were "the sun, space, nature, steel, and reinforced concrete, in that order and in this hierarchy" ( Le Corbusier , 1933). Nowadays, we are witnessing the appearance of new materials such as pollution, waste, land waste, traffic congestion, the abandonment of parts of the city, the indiscriminate use of non-renewable energy sources, unemployment, poverty, social exclusion , …
Service provision and social cohesion in rural areas: interaction between commuting, mobility and the residential preferences in Latvia
2012
The main issue addressed in this study is interaction of development policy of agricultural and rural areas with the regional and cohesion policies. This paper is based on an empirical study of everyday commuting models and spatial practices of different social groups of rural people in Latvia. This article analyzes data from a survey “Place, capabilities, migration” conducted in 2011 with a total of 1009 respondents in Latvia. The theoretical basis of research is rooted in the mobility studies and sociological and geographical conceptualization of space and place. The main focus is on analysis of relationship between commuting, mobility and the placeattachment. What are the main reasons of…
Rozwój miast metropolitalnych Polski w kontekście rozwoju zrównoważonego
2020
Celem artykułu jest określenie poziomu rozwoju zrównoważonego miast metropolitalnych w Polsce w ramach trzech podstawowych wymiarów tego zjawiska. W analizie uwzględniono wymiar społeczny (w tym instytucjonalny), gospodarczy i środowiskowo-przestrzenny. Zastosowano metodę taksonomiczną, pozwalającą na porządkowanie badanych jednostek terytorialnych w sposób zhierarchizowany. Określono poziomy ich rozwoju w poszczególnych wymiarach z uwzględnieniem struktury cech, które je opisują. Zidentyfikowanie struktury cech pozwala na określenie, w jakiej odległości od idealnej struktury tych cech są badane miasta. Badania przeprowadzono w ujęciu dynamicznym, analizując cztery wybrane okresy czasowe (2…
An urban multi-scale modeling using fuzzy evaluation of accessibility and morphological constraints
2008
International audience; Increasing mobility has contributed since a couple of years to favor urban sprawl. The negative impacts of urban sprawl are well known, in particular the increase of traffic flows and vulnerability of natural resources. Addressing those questions we propose a spatial decision support system based on a multi-scale approach. On the one hand, fractal geometry is used to determine where new urban developments are possible. Here, the central assumption is the fractal nature of urban growth allowing access to various types of amenities: central amenities (retailing, cultural offer...) and peripheral amenities (open landscape). On the other hand, the accessibility to retail…
