Abstract The work involves the realization of a GIS model that includes both information on real estate cadastre and water supply networks. This shows the stages of making such a model, starting from field measurements, to structuring the database and custom layouts. In the study, the distribution pipelines equipped with fire hydrants and the existing building types in the area were considered as the main elements. Buildings were classified according to importance, height, destination, mapping indexes, etc. and have been integrated into the GIS model. GIS programs aim at specifying as much as possible the textual data attached to perform complex analyzes. Autocad and ArcMap programs allow you to get thematic maps on building types, pipeline network analysis on which hydrants are located, and how to protect firewalls. The study model was developed only for a sector in the city of Iaşi, but it can be extended to an application that can be used in other urban areas for the purpose of being used by the water-channel directorate, the intervention teams, the public administration local, etc.

Public spaces are designed and managed in many different ways. In Hanoi, after the Doi moi policy in 1986, the transfer of the public spaces creation at the neighborhood-level to the private sector has prospered na-ture of public and added a large amount of public space for the city, directly impacting on citizen's daily life, creating a new trend, new concept of public spaces. This article looks forward to understanding the public spaces-making and operating in KDTMs (Khu Do Thi Moi - new urban areas) in Hanoi to answer the question of whether ‘socialization’/privatization of these public spaces will put an end to the urban public or the new means of public-making trend. Based on the comparison and literature review of studies in the world on public spaces privatization with domestic studies to see the differences in the Vietnamese context leading to differences in definitions and roles and the concept of public spaces in KDTMs of Hanoi. Through adducing and analyzing practical cases, the article also mentions the trends, the issues, the ways and the technologies of public-making and public-spaces-making in KDTMs of Hanoi. Win/loss and the relationship of the three most important influential actors in this process (municipality, KDTM owners, inhabitants/citizens) is also considered to reconceptualize the public spaces of KDTMs in Hanoi.

Empirical Condition

The public area of the city in general is currently experiencing rapid development due to economic growth and the influence of globalization. The public space is formed based on economic, social, political cultural interests, as well as developments and changes that occur in the current public space, making it limited and cannot be accessed optimally by the wider community. This is caused by the hierarchy of public spaces that are formed based on the functions that surround them. The purpose of this study is to reveal the phenomenon of public hierarchy in urban space in the context of its changes. This research is descriptive-analytical and based on theoretical and empirical elaboration. This approach is used to read public spaces in urban areas to get a reference for the interpretation of theoretical relationships from an empirical condition.

Language is a marker of social change that occurs in society. Prescriptivism, which is more glorifying language that is considered more modern. Linguistic landscape views urban as text. The meaning is, because language is widely used in public spaces in urban areas. Linguistic landscape is the presence of language between space and place. An interdisciplinary study of the presence of various language issues that interact with other languages in the public sphere. This study describes the phenomenon of linguistic landscape in Medan in the categories of onomastics, semiotics and spatial. The method used, namely qualitative research methods. The research threat uses the linguistic landscape theory of the Landry & Bourhis (1997) model. The research findings are the use of foreign languages that dominate the landscape in Medan City. Indonesian is no longer the sole authority in a region. Found onomastical, semiotic, and spatial aspects in the linguistic landscape in the city of Medan.

Abstract Monitoring of trees in urban areas can be conducted using remote sensing, but should be supported by field measurements. The article aims to present the research method used to evaluate discolouration and defoliation of trees and tree damage in the city of Białystok in Poland. The analyses were done using AISA hyperspectral images. Field measurements encompassed determining the locations, species and levels of discolouration and defoliation of trees. Remote sensing indices of vegetation were calculated and correlated with the field-measured values of discolouration and defoliation. Based on that, values of discolouration and defoliation were calculated and evaluated against the field studies. The RMSE of the acquired data was around 16%. Using parameter values, a map of tree damage was drawn up. Based on the analysis, it can be stated that a significant number of trees is undamaged, although a large portion of the trees falls into the warning class.

La contaminación auditiva es un fenómeno poco estudiado en la relación ciudad-ambiente. La combinación de ruido constante y permanente, el uso indiscriminado del automóvil y las políticas públicas desintegradas provocan una gestión ambiental incierta y poco clara frente a esta problemática. El modelo de ciudad caminable pretende generar espacios urbanos donde se reduzca el uso del transporte, se enfaticen las bondades de la movilidad a pie y en bicicleta, y se rehabiliten espacios públicos y áreas verdes, mecanismos que podrían reducir la contaminación auditiva y otras afectaciones ambientales.AbstractNoise pollution is a phenomenon insufficiently studied in the city-environment relationship. The combination of constant and permanent noise, indiscriminate use of cars and the poorly integrated public policies, cause an inaccurate and unclear environmental management. The model of a “walkable city” intends to address urban areas where transport use is reduced, the benefits of mobility through walking and cycling are emphasized and the public spaces and green areas are remediated. All those instruments could reduce noise pollution and other environmental effects.

Problem setting. Urban revitalization is a complex process of overcoming spatial, economic, social, cultural, ecological crisis phenomena of degraded urban territories functioning. Despite the growing attention in the development of urban policy on sustainable development, substantiation in this context of the goals and effective tools for revitalization of degraded urban areas remains an urgent task of theory and practice in public administration at the present stage. Recent research and publications analysis. Among native scientists engaged in research of various aspects in public management of sustainable territories development, it is necessary to point out: M. Averkin, V. Babayev, Z. Buryk, M. Voychuk, Z. Gerasimchuk, I. Degtyarev, V. Kuybid, O. Matveyev, O. Petroe, O. Sych, D. Tarasenko, V. Udovychenko, A. Chechel. In general, scientists have developed theoretical and methodological principles of the public policy impact on sustainable development in regions and cities. Highlighting previously unsettled parts of the general problem. However, the further development of the public administration science requires the disclosure of methodological tools for specific local policies to ensure sustainable development, particularly the revitalization of the city. This problem has not yet been covered in native science. The purpose of the article is to substantiate the goals and identify effective tools for sustainable development of the degraded territory, which should be used by urban governments in developing a policy of urban revitalization, based on the analysis of the evolution of the concept for world’s sustainable development. Paper main body. Since the end of the twentieth century the concept of sustainable development is reflected at the local level, emphasizing the responsibility of local authorities implementing its goals. In the adopted Agenda for the XXI century (2015) the territorial dimension of sustainable development was emphasized, particularly the importance of endogenous factors and mechanisms of development “from the bottom up”. At the same time, rapid urbanization in the world has highlighted the role of cities in which there is an urgent need to balance development. Thus, in economically developed countries, the revitalization of degraded urban areas is becoming widespread as an instrument of sustainable development policy at the local level. Given the inevitability of urbanization and the growing importance of cities in the global economy, for the first time a separate sustainable development goal – “11. Sustainable development of cities and communities” was identified. Therefore, the actions of public authorities should be aimed to ensure the openness, security and sustainability of cities. In turn, the revitalization of cities should contribute to the achievement of 11 global goals, as well as ensure the implementation of other goals of the Global Agenda. There are many tools to ensure the sustainable development of the degraded area in the process of the city revitalization. In countries, they differ according to their historical, legal, spatial and other conditions. Conclusions of the research and prospects for further studies. Local governments are key players in the implementation of the Global Agenda for Sustainable Development until 2030, including the Sustainable Development Goals. They must develop effective measures to address socially significant issues that hamper sustainable development, including overcoming the degradation of urban areas. The guidelines for the formation of the city’s revitalization policy should be 17 Sustainable Development Goals, as they contain the main tasks of economic, social and environmental nature for the territory development. All Sustainable Development Goals in the process of revitalization of degraded urban areas can be achieved using the following groups of tools: planning, support, market, financial, tax and other legal instruments. Further research should focus on the study of tools for public participation in the development of policies for the city revitalization, which in modern conditions belong to the basic methodological foundations of urban management.

AbstractIn urban noise mapping the accuracy of the simulation tools is often challenged by the complexity of the modeled scenario, particularly when its extent coincide with the whole city. In this paper, a meaningful case study is reported concerning the flyover highway “Aldo Moro” in Genoa. The particular morphology of the city and the location of the highway make it a significant test for analyzing the effectiveness of current modeling tools in simulating complex urban areas. Noise mapping has been implemented in accordance with the standardNMPB-Routes- 2008. Results have been then analyzed complying with the END. Next diverse computational methods have been compared, considering ISO 9613-2, NMPB-Routes-1996, and Harmonoise, and even different frequency partitions (octave band or one-third octave band) for the last two standards. The computational time for the different calculation methods has been analyzed. In order to get a reciprocal validation, the simulated noise maps have been finally compared with maps coming from on field measurements. In this way a case study helpful for public administrations and stakeholders facing similar issues is provided, defining the state of the art and the forthcoming perspectives.

Notions of order and rules play a key role in organizing the arrangement of built and unbuilt spaces. Order is achieved at various scales, such as the global, the metropolitan, the district and the neighborhood scale, by using formal and informal rules, regulations, plans and policies. Rules are the conduit by which the spatial order of urban areas is implemented and achieved. Combined with order, they are key tenets of modern planning, influencing the layout, patterns, and processes that shape urban areas. Set within the context of a wider understanding of order, rules, adaptation and how the city self-organizes and transforms, this paper examines a typology of order and rules determining the spatial order in informal settlements. The paper views the city as a dynamic system of formal rules, regulations, plans, codes and emergent informal rules, protocols and conventions that modulate and facilitate adaptation, incrementalism and step-by-step housing change in informal settlements. Using a case study of kampung Lebak Sililwangi in Bandung, Indonesia, the research deconstructed the local spatial order that exists and identifies two main rule types, namely defined and understood rules. These rules represent a set of socially acceptable activities, tasks and principles that residents use, modify and adapt to produce and refresh existing built and unbuilt spaces to meet varying needs. Rules may change from understood to defined rules and vice versa, and in this setting, systems of self-organization and arrangement of order continue to evolve and adapt. The paper is aimed at providing a deeper understanding of the nature of order and types of rules, including their relationship to the public interest and the production of negative externalities. Abstrak. Pengertian tatanan dan aturan memainkan peran kunci dalam mengatur penataan ruang terbangun dan tak terbangun. Tatanan dicapai di berbagai skala seperti global, metropolitan, distrik dan lingkungan dengan menggunakan aturan, regulasi, rencana dan kebijakan formal dan informal. Aturan adalah alat dan saluran untuk mencapai dan membangun suatu tatanan ruang wilayah perkotaan. Kombinasi antara tatanan dan aturan adalah prinsip utama dari perencanaan modern yang mempengaruhi tata letak, pola, dan proses yang membentuk daerah perkotaan. Dalam konteks pemahaman tatanan yang lebih luas terkait dengan aturan, adaptasi dan bagaimana kota mengatur dan mentransformasikan diri, makalah ini membahas tipologi tatanan dan aturan yang menentukan tatanan spasial di permukiman informal. Makalah ini memandang kota sebagai sistem dinamis dari aturan formal, regulasi, rencana, kode dan aturan informal yang muncul, protokol dan konvensi yang memodulasi dan memfasilitasi adaptasi, inkrementalisme dan perubahan perumahan bertahap di permukiman informal. Dengan menggunakan studi kasus kampung Lebak Sililwangi di Bandung, Indonesia, penelitian ini mendekonstruksi tatanan ruang lokal yang ada dan mengidentifikasi dua jenis aturan utama, yaitu aturan yang didefinisikan dan dipahami. Aturan-aturan ini mewakili serangkaian aktivitas, tugas, dan prinsip yang dapat diterima secara sosial yang digunakan, dimodifikasi, dan diadaptasi oleh penghuni untuk menghasilkan dan menghidupkan ruang yang sudah dibangun dan yang belum dibangun untuk memenuhi berbagai kebutuhan. Aturan dapat berubah dari aturan yang dipahami menjadi aturan yang didefinisikan dan sebaliknya. Dalam konteks ini, sistem pengaturan mandiri dan pengaturan tatanan terus berkembang dan beradaptasi.

<p>In many countries around the world, contemporary urban ports have a major economical, infrastructural, and dominant presence along strategic waterfront edges. In terms of public life, these industrial private entities disconnect themselves from their parent city due to the interaction between a number of factors, namely; topography, orientation, positioning, port typology, the safety and functionality of ports, urban planning, and the effects on the natural ecology. The changing nature of how a city utilizes their waterfront questions whether urban ports have a role within the heart of the city. The potential to restructure port areas and their surrounding spaces that have been effected by development leads to the creation of dynamic public life entities. With these large infrastructural entities, the areas surrounding the boundaries are compromised and are trapped in a confusion of development and derelict design. Trapped landscapes often have detrimental effects on natural environments. This negative impact can be seen in the urban fabric of the city, and in the public well-being and life of the occupants of those spaces.  This thesis investigates urban areas trapped by functioning port infrastructure, specifically the area known as the Quay Park Quarter, situated in Auckland, New Zealand. The Ports of Auckland Ltd (POAL), directly north of the area, imposes a dominating, privatised and industrial statement to contribute to the nature of this trapped landscape. The Quay Park Quarter includes heritage sites, railway infrastructure, and ad-hoc developments, some of which were initially intended to rejuvenate the area.  This thesis aims to address the privatised issues surrounding the contemporary urban port by challenging the role and incorporation of public life as a means to restructure such areas. This thesis argues that active port areas can be reconfigured, restructured and reimagined in ways in which to utilize public life along active waterfront networks. This thesis will also argue that this utilization of public life can actively change the way in which trapped landscapes can be restructured for the future. By considering the ecological impact, the city’s growth and surrounding developed areas, positive changes can be made at multiple scales within the city context.  This thesis proposes that this can be investigated through observing three interrelated scales to discover city systems and functions, the intimate, neighbourhood and metropolitan. The intimate scale involves the interactions with one’s self in the environment that surrounds them, as well as the composition of all things to create public life. This creates a sense of locality for being in the environment. Because of the port’s impact on this urban area as well as its external and internal functions, the neighbourhood scale addresses the reconfiguration and restructuring of the port infrastructure that has impacted this trapped urban area. The metropolitan scale involves how the public life network fits within the context of the city, through the means of landscape infrastructural components. The collaboration of these three scales allows for an interchange between what the human can experience in addition to the systematic functionality of the city. This offers unique insight beyond the master planning of such urban areas to actively engage with life on the ground. The reconfiguration and restructuring aspects of these areas allow for a variety of resolutions to both actively engage with public life within industrial areas and facilitate the release of trapped landscapes back into the surrounding context of these areas.</p>

Abstract The city has become the place of sustainability and public space is one of the main elements of this concept: it does not consume land, it recovers the existing building assets, it works with requalification, re-design, accessibility and availability. In this sense, public space takes on an ecological and environmental connotation, supported by a growing respect for nature. Nowadays, in historical small towns, all works addressing the public space acknowledge an overlapping of traces and testimonies that identify those space as assets to be protected, but also made available to the public. In this regard, it is also necessary to protect the buildings that define this space. A tool is enhancement. Enhancement means taking actions aimed at giving value. Its objectives focus by integrating the architectural heritage into contemporary life, by strengthening social development, as well as the economy, and defining its roots and identity. Today, enhancement connects the past with the future and provides an occasion to highlight the tangible and intangible resources safeguarded by such heritage. For ordinary heritage the only possible strategy is represented by eco-museums, through a systemic approach towards all tangible and intangible elements. The case study is a very small town in the country of Ragusa, Sicily, Italy, is considered a “cultural, natural and architectonical landscape” and reflects the combined works of nature and humankind, where cultural heritage is located both in rural areas, both in center of town. The city has an interesting old town consisting in two important historical area: Matrice district and San Giovanni district. In them there are small palaces built almost all after the earthquake of 1693, beautiful churches even older, beautiful woods and views that design public space. This research is aimed at retrieving the present architecture and landscape by using the existing structures to leave an indelible mark on renovation projects. The enhancement project guides the birth of the eco-museum; it identifies, selects and recovers the existing building assets, proposing attractive and economically interesting functions for public space. An action based on eco-museums helps breathing new life into a community and its heritage, promoting life, economy and tourism.
