Graffiti works are often found in urban area, so it becomes culture expression of a city represented through art (urban art). At this stage, graffiti is classified in the genre of street art. There is high enough desire for graffiti artists to interact and convey their message through their works with public. Thus, public spaces, such streets, become a choice for space and inspiration to them to work as well as exhibitions. Everyday issues, which according to Charles Baudelaire (1863), become inspiration for impressionist painters to paint modern subjects. Modern subjects in the form of everyday problems occur along the way in Paris, bridges, and roadside cafes. What was disclosed by Baudelaire is still factual at present, that the road becomes the source of inspiration collection. This study used field research, literature studies, and interview. Meanwhile, research object was graffiti works in Bandung. Research showed street art, in this case graffiti, was a symbol of resistance and response to actual political conditions. Walls and other objects commonly found in the street or public space were a stretch of ideas and canvas for graffiti artists.

The concept of urban acupuncture, which has been gaining ground in recent decades, is based on the activation and revitalization of urban environments using small architectural or landscape architectural interventions in precise carefully selected locations of urban fabric. However, the rapid and unexpected design solutions of urban acupuncture, based on ecological design, nature dynamics, street art, material re-use, can cause different social and psychological reactions of urban population and these reactions may vary depending on cultural contexts. Consequently, in order to implement successful urban acupuncture projects in Lithuanian cities, it is very important to find out public opinion and priorities in the fields of public space management, aesthetics, and public art. The aim of the research was to analyze the opinion of Kaunas city residents regarding these issues. For this purpose, a sociological questionnaire survey was used. The questionnaire containing 20 questions was designed, with the aim to find out the trends of use of public spaces in the city, the attitudes of residents towards street art and other small-scale initiatives in public spaces implemented in the recent years, possibilities of creating landscape architecture based on ecological ideas in urban environment, the attitude of inhabitants towards community spaces and community space design in the city, etc. 100 residents of Kaunas participated in this online administered survey. The survey has demonstrated general positive attitude towards contemporary design trends of public spaces and public art; however, the surveyed population expressed preferences towards fully equipped public spaces offering possibilities for a wide range of activities.

Reconstructing the mutation of a ‘blind walker’ into the figure of reflexive urban activist, who proposes creative solutions to the problems of de-activated public spaces, urban art interventions are comprehended as a tool for re-inventing and revitalising urban settings while initiating intensive interaction and cooperation between citizens. The idea to arrange ‘emotionally moving situations’ so as to activate reflexive attitude of the citizens toward everyday urban settings was proposed by situationists. By disturbing usual everyday rhythms and trajectories, urban art interventions, flash mobs and urban games establish a reflexive distance from the usual, routine ‘choreography’ of the place and propose alternative scenarios of behaviour in public space. Therefore urban art interventions can be considered as a tool for creative reconceptualization of spatial structures and social order, embedded in urban space. Santrauka Remiantis M. de Certeau pasiūlyta miestelėno „aklumo” metafora, kuri nurodo į nerefleksyvų santykį su kasdiene aplinka, straipsnyje rekonstruojama šios miestelėno figūros transformacija į miesto aktyvistą („miesto kuratorių”), kuris reaguoja į miesto problemas ir ieško kūrybinių šių problemų sprendimų. Aktyvaus santykio su miesto aplinka modelis buvo plėtojamas dar situacionistų (I. Chtcheglovas, G. Debord‘as, A. Kotányi ir kt.), kurie ieškojo kasdienio miesto patyrimo suspendavimo technikų (pavyzdžiui, dreifavimas) ir siūlė reorganizuoti miesto erdves, kad jos imtų produkuoti „emocionaliai paveikias situacijas”. šios paieškos paskatino situacionistus plėtoti „unitarinio urbanizmo” koncepciją. Šiuolaikiniams miestams susiduriant su deaktyvuotų viešųjų erdvių problema, „emocionaliai paveikių situacijų” kūrimo idėja atgimsta nauju pavidalu. Meninės intervencijos į viešąsias erdves, flash-mobai ir miesto žaidimai ardo įprastus elgesio scenarijus, steigia refleksyvųatstumą su rutininiu miesto patyrimu, o taip pat skatina naujųmiesto ritualų atsiradimą bei formuoja emocinį miesto reljefą. Intervencijos į viešąsias erdves gali būti analizuojamos ir kaip refleksijos forma, ir kaip aktualių miesto problemų(viešųjų erdviųdeaktyvavimo) sprendimo būdas.

<p>What do we mean when we talk about public space? We asked this question, among others about the relationship between urban populations and public spaces, to some people in the context of the National Research Program (PRIN 2009) titled ‘Public Spaces, moving populations and urban renewal programs’. This paper reports part of the outcome of the research done within the local unit of Turin (Italy), which has been developed with a set of interviews to local stakeholders and with a field research in the selected areas of the City Centre and the districts of San Salvario and Barriera di Milano.<br />From the answers of the stakeholders emerged some relevant issues that I analysed through a selected literature about the concept of public space. The result is a sort of catalogue of typical public spaces of the city, as acknowledged by the local stakeholders and by the field research, and analysed through the international literature. The typologies identified are: traditional public spaces, ‘cappuccino’ spaces, weak sociality spaces, new virtual public spaces and the ‘District Houses’, a new type of public space emerging in the city. To identify them, some characteristic pictures of public spaces of Turin and interviews’ pieces are also reported.<br />However, facing this scenario built on the empirical research, we should mind that the conflicting views of public space depend also on the professional and cultural background of the interviewees, which is such fickle data that it cannot be catalogued. So, the catalogue proposed is not exhaustive, but only indicative of the trend about new perspectives on the meaning of public space which emerged through research conducted in the city of Turin.</p>

Cities face several challenges regarding public space and urban regeneration. Some of them are the depersonalization and lack of interest of citizens in their own city, privatization, gentrification, technologization and gender-insecurity. Public spaces lose their character as articulator and generator of human relations, while neighborhoods lose their role as the basic unity of community and urban identity. Nowadays, many bottom-up strategies have arisen as expressions of neighborhood’s inhabitant’s will, producing cultural diversity and civic engagement, with a placemaking effect. Urban art is one of them. Social and economic products of urban art have been studied, but the spatial manifestation and impact have been largely absent from the discourse of urban morphology. Spatial conditions are representational of social practices like art, by structuring patterns of movement, encounter and separation in the city (Cartiere &amp; Zebracki, 2016). This study aims to discover the spatial relation between urban art displays and the network of public spaces, and whether this pattern has a role in neighborhood regeneration. To identify these relations in Shoreditch, London, Space Syntax analysis and spatial clustering were used, combined with a survey of geographically located public urban art (extracted from social networks data). Also, the spatial patterns of land prices and land uses from 1995 to 2016 were examined. Research showed that various types of artwork have a strong relation with certain spatial network characteristics and visibility of locations from each other. Economic and use outcomes were also related to the development of the art pattern through the years.

This is a paper on street art and its role as a form of artistic insurrection that challenges popular understandings of public space and urban visual culture. I would like to think of it as a field guide to urban seeing, a means of revising the way in which we view the cityscape and its imagery. It is a way of imagining the city as a canvas onto which ideas may be inscribed and reinterpreted, where resistance percolates up to those who look for it. It is here, in what Kathleen Stewart has called a “place by the side of the road” that the work of the street artist exists, slowly gurgling up through the cracks in the sidewalk and briefly illuminated by the yellow-white glow of the street lights. Street art most often takes the form of adhesive stickers, spray-painted stencils, and wheat-pasted posters, and while it shares many similar aesthetic and cultural characteristics with graffiti, street art embodies a unique ideology. Graffiti represents a territorialization of space (‘tagging’, or reclaiming urban spaces through the use of pseudonyms as territorial markings); street art represents a reterritorialization of space. Rather than taking space, street art attempts to re-purpose the existing urban environment. This paper seeks to reflect the changing dynamic of urban space through an analysis of the practice of street art. By examining the roles that street artists play in disrupting the flow of visual noise in the city, I will illuminate the cultural value and significance of this form of urban artistic resistance.

This article is the result of the research carried out by the author in creating new public spaces and shaping contemporary urban-forming trends in the conditions of globalization. In his research (through literature criticism and in situ field research) the author analyzes selected contemporary architectural realizations in Poland over the last decades, comparing them with similar works around the world, assessing their impact on shaping the cities’ build environment. The comparison is made through the analysis of such factors as: the construction of the form, elements of architecture and construction affecting the location, visibility, perception and created relations between the building and the surroundings.

ZusammenfassungConnected and automated driving is one of several emerging mobility trends that will fundamentally impact the use and design of public spaces in the coming decades. The uptake of transportation network companies (TNCs), such as Uber, has shown that a greater use of shared modes adds more vehicles to the road and shifts pickup and drop-off locations onto the street, i.e., increasing activity at the curb (Larco 2018: 50; Erhardt et al. 2019). Similar effects were caused by recent waves of dockless micromobility options, such as free-floating bikes or e-scooters, which temporarily led to congested sidewalks and increased spatial demands in public space (Polis 2019).

Conservar a natureza e garantir o uso pelas populações é elemento central na construção dos programas de uso público dos parques urbanos e naturais municipais, tendo em vista a relevância que os temas vinculados ao meio ambiente, assumem em nossa sociedade, sobretudo, em interface com valores e práticas imbricadas na estrutura social, econômica e política vigente. No que diz respeito ao desenvolvimento da consciência e de práticas de conservação ambiental, é fundamental considerar as características locais e, ao mesmo tempo, não apenas garantir o acesso a programas de educação não formal e de uso público de espaços coletivos e públicos, mas também fomentar práticas culturais e lazer nestes espaços. Isto porque, inclusive, os espaços públicos e seus usos implicados, considerando os apontamentos de Jacobs (2011), são fundamentais para as cidades mais vivas, seguras, sustentáveis e saudáveis. O presente trabalho aborda os parques em ambiente urbano, buscando analisar a distribuição destas áreas na cidade de Sorocaba e como se dá o uso do espaço público pela população, por meio de práticas recreativas e de lazer. O estudo de caráter exploratório, descritivo, pautado em abordagem quali-quanti, foi realizado por meio da combinação da pesquisa bibliográfica, documental e da pesquisa de campo, balizada por observação sistemática (suportada por protocolo de observação) e realização de entrevistas semiestruturadas, com os usuários dos parques urbanos e parques naturais municipais do município de Sorocaba. Estas pesquisas foram realizadas na área amostral de 8 parques da cidade (4 delimitados - cercados e 4 sem delimitação física - não cercados) e os resultados apontam que há disparidades na oferta de serviços com relação à política de atividades e ao quesito segurança, bem como recorrente demanda por melhorias da infraestrutura e paisagismo ambiental. Os parques de Sorocaba, são utilizados para a prática de esportes, para o descanso, encontro com amigos, passeios com crianças e contemplação da natureza. Entretanto, apesar do elevado número de parques criados e de sua distribuição atender a todas as regiões de Sorocaba, estes resultados suportam ações para uma intervenção mais assertiva das instituições do setor público, no que se refere à devida valorização da importância das atividades de cultura e lazer, inclusive àquelas destinadas ao fomento da preservação e conservação ambiental – via práticas de educação ambiental – em todas as regiões, que forçosamente resultarão em melhorias dos aspectos paisagísticos, da manutenção e conservação e dos resultados, inestimáveis, de maior segurança pública. Urban and Natural Parks supply in Sorocaba (SP, Brazil): encouragement for public use polices ABSTRACT Conserving nature and guaranteeing its use by the population is a central element in the construction of programs for the public use of urban parks, in view of the relevance that the themes related to the environment assume in our society, above all, interfacing with articulation values and practices in the current social, economic and political structure. Concerning the development of environmental awareness and conservation practices, it is essential to consider local characteristics and, at the same time, not only guarantee access to non-formal education programs and public use of collective and public spaces, but also promote cultural practices and leisure in these spaces. This is because public spaces and their uses, considering the Jacobs (2011) notes, are fundamental for cities that are more alive, safe, sustainable and healthy. he present work deals with the parks in an urban environment, trying to analyze the distribution of these areas in the city of Sorocaba and how the public space is used by the population, through recreational and leisure practices. The exploratory, descriptive study, based on a quali-quanti approach, was carried out through a combination of bibliographic, documentary and field research, using systematic observation (supported by observation protocol) and semi-structured interviews with users of urban parks and natural parks in the municipality of Sorocaba. These surveys were carried out in the sample area of 8 city parks (4 delimited - fenced and 4 without physical delimitation - not fenced) and the results indicate that there are disparities in the service offer in relation to the activities policy and the safety question, as well as environmental and landscape improvements. The parks of Sorocaba, are used for sports, for rest, meeting with friends, walks with children and contemplation of nature. However, despite the high number of parks created and their distributions serving all regions of Sorocaba, these results support actions for a more assertive intervention of public sector institutions, regarding the proper appreciation of the importance of culture and leisure activities , including those aimed at promoting environmental preservation and conservation - via environmental education practices - in all regions, which will inevitably result in improvements in the landscape, maintenance and conservation, and invaluable results of greater public safety. KEYWORDS: Urban Parks; Public Use; Leisure; Environment; Sorocaba-Brazil.

Charles Tripp argues that through artistic interventions – graffiti, visual street art, performances, demonstrations, banners, slogans – citizens have appropriated the public sphere. Despite the monitoring of political dissent through persuasion or coercion, an activist public has created highly visible public spaces, assisted and encouraged by citizen artists. They have generated debates and have helped to give substance to competing visions of the republic.
