Ao longo dos anos, as Instituições Federais de Ensino Superior (IFES) têm sido objeto de programas governamentais com vistas a reestruturá-las internamente e expandi-las. Muitas dessas IFES se encontram instaladas em cidades médias e pequenas, levando a transformações e impactos socioeconômicos. Assim, buscou-se compreender o processo de verticalização na zona central de Viçosa-MG e sua relação com as expansões da Universidade Federal de Viçosa (UFV). Dessa forma, foi possível observar a existência de uma relação direta entre as expansões da UFV e o processo de verticalização na zona central de Viçosa-MG, assim como um aumento no número de edifícios acima de 4 pavimentos, localizando-se, principalmente, nas vias adjacentes à UFV, mudanças na tipologia dos edifícios e dos apartamentos. Destaca-se, também, um papel proeminente do investidor alavancando o processo de verticalização e uma permissividade do poder público frente à produção maciça de espaços verticalizados. Abstract THE VERTICALIZATION PROCESS IN THE CENTRAL REGION OF VIÇOSA - MG: AN ANALYSIS BASED ON EXPANSION OF THE FEDERAL UNIVERSITY OF VIÇOSA AND ITS IMPACT ON THE URBAN SPACE STRUCTURE Over the years, the Federal Institutions of Higher Education (Instituições Federais de Ensino Superior - IFES) have been the focal point of governmental programs seeking to restructure them internally and to expand them. Many of these IFES are located in medium and small cities, leading to transformations and socioeconomic impacts. Thus, this study sought to understand the verticalization process in the central region of Viçosa-MG and its relationhsip with the expansion of the Federal University of Viçosa (UFV). It was possible to observe the existence of a direct relationship between the expansions of the UFV and the verticalization process in the central region of Viçosa, as well as an increase in the number of buildings taller than 4 stories, mainly located on roads adjacent to the UFV, and changes in the typology of buildings and apartments. Also noteworthy is the prominent role of the investor in leveraging the verticalization process and the permission of public powers considering the massive production of verticalized spaces.

In the Western world, cities and urban networks are the basic cultural and civilizational force. Urban historical heritage grounds and strengthens identities of urban communities, which are essential for civilizational development. Cities are visual shapes of the processes of local social and international relations and cultural production. The identities of urban communities are formed not only by their urban lifestyles, but also by urban visual surroundings with cultural and religious symbols and meanings. Urban historical heritage is the source of urban uniqueness and identity, thus it plays an important role in cultural memory formation and maintenance. The old town is the core of this kind of heritage where “genetical” programme of urban development is inscribed. In addition, the Old Town of Vilnius embodies the main features of Lithuanian historical statehood. Thus, the criteria of urban developmental works in the Old Town area should rely on the tasks of the reinforcing both urban space structure and the features of urban identity and exceptionality, and also on the sustainment and spread of cultural historical memory ensuring identity of the urban community. Santrauka Vakarų pasaulyje miestai ir jų ryšių tinklai yra pagrindinė civilizacinės plėtros ir kultūrinės kūrybos galia. Istorinis urbanistinis paveldas yra ne tik civilizacijos gėrybių sankaupa: jis palaiko ir tvirtina civilizacijos plėtrai būtinus miesto bendruomenių tapatumus. Miestai yra regimas vietinių socialinių santykių, tarptautinių ryšių ir kuriamos kultūros erdvinės raiškos pavidalas. Miesto bendruomenių tapatumus formuoja ne tik miestiškų gyvenimo būdų visuma, bet ir regimi miestiški vaizdai, taip pat su jais siejami istoriniai kultūriniai bei sakraliniai simboliai ir prasmės. Istorinei kultūrinei atminčiai palaikyti bei tvirtinti svarbus yra tas urbanistinis paveldas, kuriame glūdi miesto tapatumo ir išskirtinumo bruožai, įsitvirtinantys kultūrinėje atmintyje. Tokio paveldo branduolys ir šerdis, kurioje tarsi įrašyta „genetinė“ konkretaus miesto raidos programa, – yra Senamiestis. Vilniaus Senamiestis savaip įkūnija ir Lietuvos valstybingumo bruožus. „Genetiniai“ miesto tapatumo ir išskirtinumo bruožai yra ir šiuolaikinės urbanistinės paveldo ekonomikos, taip pat kultūros industrijų „ištekliai“. Todėl urbanistinės veiklos Senamiestyje kriterijai turėtų būti jo urbanistinės erdvinės struktūros, tapatumo ir išskirtinumo bruožų tvirtinimas, kultūrinės atminties gaivinimas ir sklaida, stiprinant miesto bendruomenės istorinių šaknų pajautą – įsigyvenimą į miestą, taip pat paveldo ir kultūros industrijų išteklių gausinimas. Klausimas, kodėl iki šiol Lietuvoje dar nėra deramai suvokta Senamiesčio svarba valstybingumui ir nacionaliniam tapatumui tvirtinti, istorinės kultūrinės atminties gyvybingumui stiprinti, kūrybingai miesto bendruomenei ugdyti?

The City

The worldwide development of multi-center structures in large cities is a prevailing development trend. In recent years, China’s large cities developed from a predominantly mono-centric to a multi-center urban space structure. However, the definition and identification city centers is complex. Both nighttime light data and point of interest (POI) data are important data sources for urban spatial structure research, but there are few integrated applications for these two kinds of data. In this study, visible infrared imaging radiometer suite (NPP-VIIRS) nighttime imagery and POI data were combined to identify the city centers in Hangzhou, China. First, the optimal parameters of multi-resolution segmentation were determined by experiments. The POI density was then calculated with the segmentation results as the statistical unit. High–high clustering units were then defined as the main centers by calculating the Anselin Local Moran’s I, and a geographically weighted regression model was used to identify the subcenters according to the square root of the POI density and the distances between the units and the city center. Finally, a comparison experiment was conducted between the proposed method and the relative cut-off_threshold method, and the experiment results were compared with the evaluation report of the master plan. The results showed that the optimal segmentation parameters combination was 0.1 shape and 0.5 compactness factors. Two main city centers and ten subcenters were detected. Comparison with the evaluation report of the master plan indicated that the combination of nighttime light data and POI data could identify the urban centers accurately. Combined with the characteristics of the two kinds of data, the spatial structure of the city could be characterized properly. This study provided a new perspective for the study of the spatial structure of polycentric cities.

The Impact

One of the most important issues in Latvia after gaining independence, as in all post-socialism countries, is the assessment and further development of the economic potential and the related urban space structure. The socio-economic preconditions of planning of the urban construction environment and the architectural spatial transformation are associated with the building reconstruction and regeneration. Today, an integral part of the transformation of inhabited areas is also building renovation and injection of landscape elements in the mechanical structures of the development plans of the Soviet times. These measures ensure a harmonious balanced living space and corresponding living conditions for residents (Treija et al. 2010). The transformation process of the image of the architecturally spatial environment of inhabited areas is dynamic in its nature. This process is affected by socio-economic and engineering opportunities, as well as the peculiarities of the artistically aesthetic perception of the corresponding period. The image of the urban space has a very strong spiritual aura, which arises a series of thoughts, associations, views and emotions (Ziemeļniece 2010). The main task of the compositional image of the urban environment is to generate positive feelings in the population or in each traveler who visits the particular settlement. The Latvian historical localities – cities, manor ensembles, farmstead groups – over the centuries have been created as grid structures, where the social and economic activities overlap, according to the settlement function, scale and reachability (Briņķis, Buka 2006).
