The article attempts to substantiate the possibilities of the chronotope as a tool for cultural diagnostics of the city. The angle of the research is chosen due to the current demand for a transdisciplinary approach in the study of a variety of phenomena associated with human existence. In this regard, the city is no exception, its research also involves the use of methodologies which allow combining managerial practices and scientific theories. The city is considered in the article in its «medial existence» as a space of meanings, which makes it possible to use the chronotope as an ontological unit, which can be used as the basis for the cultural diagnostics of the city. Due to the fact that the chronotope connects temporal-topos and semantic criteria into a single structure, different dimensions of the city acquire specific expression, being reflected in various chronotopic invariants (profane, global, innovative, etc.). The author concentrates on the co-existential chronotope which focuses on the present of the city, reflecting its spatio-temporal foundations, within the boundaries of which the life and activity of a person as a consumer of urban spacetime take place. Saturation, concentration and proportionality are suggested as indicators of the co-existential chronotope, which make it possible to carry out culturological diagnostics of the city. Saturation reflects the existing spectrum of spatio-temporal configurations, in which there is a direct reproduction of human life in the city, the realization of human needs and interests, the formation of a person as a city dweller. Concentration indicates the differentiation of the city from the point of view of the «centrality» of the place, determined by its functional purpose. Proportionality allows you to identify the correspondence between the city and its inhabitants, considered in a subjective aspect.

Numerous cities around the world are facing the problem of land subsidence. In many cases, it is the excessive groundwater extraction to meet human needs that leads to this subsidence. Since land subsidence rates are very slow (a few centimeters per year), the subsidence usually remains unnoticed until it has progressed to the point of causing severe damage to buildings, houses, and/or other infrastructures. Therefore, it is very important to detect the presence of subsidence in advance. In this study, screening for the presence of land subsidence in the city of Denpasar, Bali, Indonesia is conducted. The Sentinel-1A/B SAR dataset, taken from October 2014 to June 2019, is processed using the SBAS DInSAR method. Subsidence is found in the districts of Denpasar Selatan, Denpasar Barat, and Kuta, which falls in the range of -100 mm to -200 mm in an area of about 93.03 ha. All the extracted points of interest show the subsidence having linear behavior. The spatio-temporal behavior of the subsidence in Denpasar is presented clearly. However, the mechanism and the deriving factors of the subsidence remain unclear. Therefore, further studies are needed.

В статье рассматриваются основные концепции изучения города в разных областях научного знания, анализируются подходы и взаимодействие наук в общем познании городского пространства. Каждая наука по своему интерпретирует понимание города и рассматривает его элементы с точки зрения своей компетенции. Использование методико-методологического инструментария философии как интегральной системы научного знания позволяет анализировать полученные данные и приводить их к единой модели обоснования специфических черт города, представляющего собой уникальное явление человеческой жизнедеятельности. Однако каждая наука, опираясь только на собственный эмпирический материал, допускает ошибку: создаёт идеальный образ, который не всегда соответствует реальной картине. Каждый исследователь концентрирует внимание на конкретных элементах изучения, тем самым отдавая им приоритет в понимании городской среды. Этот факт актуализирует метод междисциплинарного изучения городского феномена. В контексте социогуманитарных исследований, опирающихся на методы социологии, демографии, политологии и культурологии, город рассматривается как среда осуществления властных полномочий, в которой нарастает зависимость социодинамических процессов от характера институциональных ограничений, накладываемых властными структурами в отношении населения. The paper considers the main concepts of studying the city in various fields of scientific knowledge, analyzes the approaches and interaction of sciences in the general knowledge of urban space. Each science interprets the understanding of the city in its own way and considers its elements from the point of view of its competence. The use of methodological tools of philosophy as an integral system of scientific knowledge allows us to analyze the obtained data and lead them to a single model of substantiation of specific features of the city, which is a unique phenomenon of human life. However, each science, relying only on its own empirical material, makes a mistake: it creates an ideal image that does not always correspond to the real picture. Each researcher focuses on specific elements of study, thereby giving them priority in understanding the urban environment. This fact actualizes the method of interdisciplinary study of the urban phenomenon. In the context of sociohumanitary studies based on the methods of sociology, demography, political science and cultural studies, the city is considered as an environment for the exercise of power, in which the dependence of sociodynamic processes on the nature of institutional restrictions imposed by power structures on the population increases.

Under the unprecedented wave of urbanization and pace of economic development, the living conditions of residents have been unevenly changed in Chinese cities. To understand the diversified living conditions in Chinese urban neighborhoods from the supply-side point of view, new spatial and residential data were gathered to investigate the social infrastructure configurations around the residential communities. Using Tianjin as a case study, the research focuses on six important categories of human needs: education, healthcare, leisure, culture, entertainment, and transportation. Based on the cumulative accessibility measurements of 25 types of facilities, the social infrastructure configurations within neighborhoods are statistically and spatially analyzed and compared. The study discovered that: (1) despite the great diversity of living conditions in the city, the neighborhoods that have better services and strong associations with entertainment and education are prominent; (2) the neighborhoods with advantageous living conditions in different aspects tend to cluster at different places; (3) the neighborhoods of different types of communities, belonging to different administrative districts, or in different urban zones, all have distinctive characteristics in living conditions.

Abstract In the latest conceptions of urban development planning, special attention is paid to the resident. This is reflected especially in the increasingly popular idea of creating ‘a city for people’. This somewhat banal slogan has got an increasingly sensible and justified theoretical support, as well as examples of practical solutions. The idea of planning urban development to meet human needs (a city for people) underlies many conceptions of urban development, especially those the basic goal of which is to limit suburbanisation unfavourable from a general social point of view and to rationalise the mobility of city residents. It has long been known that their mobility reflects the spatial structure of a city, and that their ever more intensive movement is not favourable from the ecological, social and economic points of view. In this situation it is necessary to shape the spatial-functional structure of the city in a way that will, first, restrict this mobility and, secondly, that will change the ways and means by which residents move. However, in order to make changes in the existing spatial structures in a rational way, it is necessary to know the mobility of city dwellers, its causes, directions, distances covered, and duration. What we shall present in this paper are structural and functional conclusions resulting from an analysis of the mobility of residents relevant for planning. Although our reflections will be primarily theoretical in nature, in many cases they will be backed up by empirical studies, mostly concerning Poznań.

The future is a predictable yet uncertain period of time. Every human being in this world will always try any possible things to survive and try to make their existence real, this behavior is called dwelling. Architecture comes in form of buildings and space as a place for human to dwell. The way human dwell will always change following their environment and follow the development of technology. Technology has become the biggest driver in the change of human evolution, every sector of human life keeps revolving and try to adapt to the development of technology for hope of a better life. A city is one of the product of this evolution, a place considered modern and high-technology, but with the imbalance between the technology development, infrastructure, and human needs, a city also generate some problems. A city as an area also has an effective number of population density for it to work effectively. The more densely populated a city is, the bigger the need of a housing buildings. Because of the incapability to provide a proper and affordable housing in the city, the irregular housing development plan around the periphery of the city is spreading, causing a phenomenon called urban sprawl. The project Integrated Housing has a goal to transform the existing urban sprawl area to be more compact and effective. Through pragmatic approach, this project will be focusing on users’ needs, effective space used, and integrated programs which wil be achieved by analysing people’s needs and way of life today and tomorrow. Another goal is to also pay attention and to lessen the negative impact of urban sprawl to the environment to achieve a sustainable future. Keywords: Dwelling; Environment; Future; Technology; Urban sprawl.Abstrak Masa depan adalah bingkai waktu yang tidak pasti, namun dapat diprediksi. Setiap manusia yang hidup di dunia ini mencoba melakukan segala hal untuk dapat bertahan hidup dan mencoba membuat eksistensinya nyata, sikap ini juga disebut berhuni. Arsitektur hadir dalam bentuk bangunan atau ruang yang dirancang untuk mewadahi kegiatan berhuni manusia. Cara manusia berhuni selalu berubah mengikuti lingkungannya dan mengikuti perkembangan penemuan teknologi. Teknologi telah menjadi pendorong terbesar dalam perubahan evolusi manusia, segala sektor kehidupan terus berputar dan beradaptasi dengan teknologi demi mendapatkan kehidupan yang lebih mudah. Sebuah kota adalah hasil dari perkembangan evolusi manusia ini, sebuah tempat yang dianggap canggih dan modern, namun karena ketidakseimbangan antara perkembangan teknologi, infrastruktur, dan kebutuhan manusia, kota juga menimbulkan beberapa permasalahan. Kota sebagai sebuah area dengan batasan pengembangan memiliki sebuah batas kepadatan yang efektif untuk dihuni. Semakin padat, kebutuhan bangunan untuk tempat tinggal pun meningkat. Kota yang tidak mampu menyediakan tempat tinggal yang terjangkau dan layak pun mendorong terjadinya penyebaran pembangunan yang tidak tersusun ke daerah sekitar kota. Fenomena ini disebut juga sebagai urban sprawl. Perumahan Terpadu ini adalah proyek yang memiliki tujuan untuk mentransformasi area urban sprawl yang sudah ada menjadi area yang lebih kompak dan efektif guna. Dengan pendekatan pragmatis, proyek ini berfokus pada kebutuhan pengguna, efektivitas ruang dan integrasi antar fungsi yang akan dikembangkan dari hasil analisis kebutuhan dan cara hidup masyarakat saat ini dan prediksi kedepannya. Proyek ini juga mengedepankan keberlanjutan lingkungan dengan memperhatikan dampak yang dihasilkan terhadap lingkungan supaya tidak memperburuk kondisi saat ini.

Place branding is a network of associations in the consumer’s mind, based on the visual, verbal, and behavioral expression of a place. Food can be an important tool to summarize it as it is part of the culture of a city and its symbolic capital. Food is imaginary, a ritual and a social construction. This paper aims to explore a ritual that has turned into one of the brands of Lisbon in the past few years. The fresh sardines barbecued out of doors, during Saint Anthony’s festival, has become a symbol that can be found on t-shirts, magnets and all kinds of souvenirs. Over the year, tourists can buy sardine shaped objects in very cheap stores to luxurious shops. There is even a whole boutique dedicated to the fish: “The Fantastic World of Portuguese Sardines” and an annual competition promoted by the city council to choose the five most emblematic designs of sardines. In order to analyze the Sardine phenomenon from a city branding point of view, the objective of this paper is to comprehend what associations are made by foreigners when they are outside of Lisbon. As a methodological procedure five design sardines, were used of last year to questioning to which city they relate them in interviews carried in Madrid, Lyon, Rome and London. Upon completion of the analysis, the results of the city branding strategy adopted by the city council to promote the sardines as the official symbol of Lisbon is seen as a Folkmarketing action. The effects are positive, but still quite local. On the other hand, significant participation of the Lisbon´s dwellers in the Sardine Contest was observed, which seems to be a good way to promote the city identity and pride in their best ambassador: the citizens.

Beautiful City

Guwahati derives its name from the Assamese word “Guwa” means areca nut and “Haat” means market. However, the modern Guwahati had been known as the ancient Pragjyotishpura and was the capital of Assam under the Kamrupa kingdom. A beautiful city Guwahati is situated on the south bank of the river Bramhaputra. Moreover, It is known as the largest city in the Indian state of Assam and also the largest metropolis in North East India. It has also its importance as the gateway to the North- East India. Assamese and English are the spoken languages in Guwahati.  In 1667, the Mogul forces were defeated in the battle by the Ahom forces commanded by Lachut Barphukan. Thus, in a sense Guwahati became the bone of contention among the Ahoms, Kochas and the Moguls during the medieval period.  Guwahati the administrative headquarters of Lower Assam with a viceroy or Barbhukan was made by the Ahom king.  Since 1972 it has been the capital of Assam. The present paper will discuss the changes happened in Guwahati over the period of late 1970s till the present time. It will focus on the behavior of people, transformed temples, Panbazar of the city, river bank of Bramhaputra, old Fancy Bazaar, chaotic ways, festivals and seasons including a fifth man made season etc. It will also deal how over the years a city endowed with nature’s gifts and scenic views, has been changing as “a dirty city”. Furthermore, it will also present the insurgencies that have barged into the city. The occurrence of changes will be discussed through the perspective and point of view of Srutimala Duara as presented in her book Mindprints of Guwahati.

This research deals with the development of  self concept of Hiroko as the main character in Namaku Hiroko by Nh. Dini and tries to identify how Hiroko is portrayed in the story, how she interacts with other characters and whether she is portrayed as a character dominated by ”I” element or  ”Me”  element seen  from sociological and cultural point of view. As a qualitative research in nature, the source of data in this research is the novel Namaku Hiroko (1967) and the data ara analyzed and presented deductively. The result of this analysis shows that in the novel, Hiroko as a fictional character is  portrayed as a girl whose personality  develops and changes drastically from ”Me”  to ”I”. When she was still in the village  l iving with her parents, she was portrayed as a obedient girl who was loyal to the parents, polite and acted in accordance with the social customs. In short, her personality was dominated by ”Me”  self concept. On the other hand, when she moved to the city (Kyoto), she was portrayed as a wild girl  no longer controlled by the social customs. She was  firm and determined totake decisions of  her won  for her future without considering what other people would say about her. She did not want to be treated as object. To put it in another way, her personality is more dominated by the ”I” self concept.

The process of human development is inseparable from the influence of the environment, so the development of adolescents who sit in junior high school will be different from adolescents in high school, or in college, even though human life is definitely not going to be separated from the past and the future. Adolescence is one of the development periods experienced by humans in their lives. During the transition, adolescents are in an unstable condition. There is a feeling of insecurity, because they have to change or change the behavior patterns of adolescents from children to adults. From this transition period the potential for social conflict arises, because of the desire to meet human needs. Sociodrama is one of the techniques in group guidance that aims to solve social problems that arise in human relationships that can be implemented if most group members face similar social problems, or if they want to practice or change certain attitudes. Conflicts can have positive or negative effects, and they always exist in life. The problem is how the conflict can be managed in such a way that it does not cause social disintegration. Therefore, it needs a conflict management, so that the conflict can be controlled and directed

AbstractAlthough visual culture of the 21th century increasingly focuses on representation of death and dying, contemporary discourses still lack a language of death adequate to the event shown by pictures and visual images from an outside point of view. Following this observation, this article suggests a re-reading of 20th century author Elias Canetti. His lifelong notes have been edited and published posthumously for the first time in 2014. Thanks to this edition Canetti's short texts and aphorisms can be focused as a textual laboratory in which he tries to model a language of death on experimental practices of natural sciences. The miniature series of experiments address the problem of death, not representable in discourses of cultural studies, system theory or history of knowledge, and in doing so, Canetti creates liminal texts at the margins of western concepts of (human) life, science and established textual form.
