Nowadays there is an urgent need for Ukrainians to meet the demands of quality, diversity and availability of sports services. Therefore, sports and leisure complexes, which are integrated into the urban infrastructure, act as interactive public spaces with tactile surfaces. Analysis of foreign practical experience in the formation of sports and leisure complexes demonstrates what it means to move around the city, breathe new life into abandoned places and how the architecture of modern life is changing. The countries of China, Russia, and Denmark were analyzed. This analysis showed that the typical objects for leisure activities are: 1) Squares, parking lots with integrated sports and leisure areas; 2) Separate specialized buildings of sports and leisure centers or centers of youth culture with different sports; 3) Open public spaces in parks, residential complexes, preschool education constructions, health centers. The analysis of the features of sports and leisure complexes formation in the territory of Ukraine allowed to reveal two groups. The first group consists of outdoor areas, which contain outdoor simulators or sports complex workout for trainings, both for professional athletes and amateurs. The second group of sports and leisure complexes contains "urban parks" as centers for the development of street culture, which has become a part of the state youth policy. The analysis of foreign and domestic practical experience of architectural and urban planning formation of sports and leisure complexes proved that there is an active implementation of the advanced world concepts related to a healthy lifestyle in Ukraine. At the same time, the design of sports and leisure complexes is at the stage of formation and requires the development of special methods, as well as research in terms of typological, structural-functional and planning analysis. Determination of the factors influencing the development of the studied objects and the principles of their formation is needed. This can be considered as the next stage of this research.

Like in many other provinces, during the Habsburg period, the main point of orientation for Galicia was Vienna. This also applies to architecture and urban development. Galicia’s technical elite applied the theoretical and practical experience it gathered in Vienna to the towns and cities of this northeastern Crown land. Ignacy Drexler, born in 1878 in the Austro-Hungarian Lemberg, was a representative of a new generation of engineers and architects who did not necessarily have to spend time in the imperial capital to earn their spurs. Increasingly, besides the more or less obligatory stay in Vienna, other European countries became points of reference. Drexler did not live to see the realization of important aspects of his comprehensive plan for the city, but his ideas and the data he compiled were indispensable for the future development of his hometown. They shape urban planning in Lviv to this day.

Design participation is considered an inclusive, democratic and transparent process of urban planning and decision-making, particularly important for environments where complex social and economic realms could easily be misinterpreted in a common top-down design approach. This paper examines actual contributions of this methodology, implemented in ongoing strategies for designing and building public spaces and cultural infrastructure as part of the project Novi Sad European Capital of Culture 2021, which is based on democracy, decentralisation, inclusion and citizens' participation. Now, these strategies were put into action, with several projects prepared, launched and brought closer to actual realisation. This process revealed conclusions inrespect to implementation possibilities, as well as its strengths and weaknesses in actual projects, and ephasized the need to further improve urban practice and undertake change of the slow and unprepared procedures of the City administration.

Recently, housing construction in cities has been carried out at a high rate. Increasingly, urban abandoned and flooded depressive spaces near water bodies (often rivers), which were previously used as industrial facilities or temporarily used, are becoming the sphere of architectural and landscape transformations. The restoration of such territories helps to improve the quality of urban space and improve its ecological properties. Correct development of territories near rivers and various water bodies has a great health-improving effect on the urban environment, improves its natural and climatic conditions. In addition, social and economic factors play an important role in this process, since such transformed territories and territories adjacent to them significantly increase investment attractiveness. This paper examines modern approaches to the development of urban public spaces, based on the formation of architectural environments that ensure the relationship of urban development with water bodies and adjacent territories. The paper notes that water bodies are not only an important component of the natural-ecological framework, but are also the basis for the framework of urban-planning natural-technogenic systems as a whole. And the creation of a continuous urban fabric is impossible without the organization of a ‘water’ line of development, provision of compositional, functional and communication interconnection of open urban and water spaces, which is actively being introduced today in architectural and urban planning practice. The paper examines the role of water bodies in the ecological system of the city, as well as in its structure as a whole. The aim of the study is to identify the features of the formation of a public urban space, to determine the patterns of its development, to identify criteria that reflect the nature, scale and features of the impact of urbanization on a water body. Some principles of revitalization of coastal areas, as well as the creation of a system of publicly accessible, compositionally expressive spaces are considered. The principles of space transformation aimed at the formation of a holistic image of the city, as well as the impact of such a spatial arrangement of urban and water bodies on the safety and quality of the urban environment are considered.

Este estudo teve o objetivo de analisar os indicadores de morbidade, o acesso a serviços de saúde e a prática de atividade física de lazer em idosos. Houve também verificação do padrão de morbidade referida nestes idosos entrevistados, identificando a prevalência da prática de atividades físicas no lazer. Para isso, foram analisados os dados sociodemográficos da amostra pesquisada, identificando o acesso aos serviços de saúde. A coleta das informações necessárias à apuração dos resultados ocorreu por meio de questionário sociodemográfico e Questionário Internacional de Atividades Físicas (IPAQ). Os questionários foram aplicados em 213 idosos de ambos os sexos, com 60 anos de idade ou mais, residentes na zona urbana da cidade de Rio do Sul - Santa Catarina. Percebe-se que pouco mais de 80% dos idosos foram classificados como inativos nas atividades de lazer, a maioria das mulheres auto avaliaram sua saúde de forma positiva, e cerca de 37% dos idosos procuraram acesso e uso regular dos serviços de saúde nas semanas anteriores à realização da pesquisa, tendo ainda valores significativos em relação ao plano de saúde, onde a maioria dos idosos foi inativa. Conclui-se que a associação da prática de atividades físicas aos indicadores de morbidade de acesso a serviços de saúde está ligada de maneira a impedir que os idosos sejam ativos no lazer. ABSTRACTThis study aimed to analyze the indicators of morbidity, access to health services and the practice of leisure physical activity in older adults. For this, the demographic data of the studied sample were analyzed by identifying access to health services. There was also checking the pattern of morbidity in these elderly respondents, identifying the prevalence of physical activity at leisure. The collection of information necessary for the determination of the results was through sociodemographic questionnaire and International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ). The questionnaires were applied in 213 elderly men and women, aged 60 and older living in the urban area of the city of Rio do Sul - Santa Catarina. It can be seen that just over 80% of the elderly were classified as inactive in leisure activities, most women self rated their health positively, and about 37% of the elderly sought access and regular use of health services in the weeks prior to the survey. In conclusion, it can be seen that the association of physical activity with access to health services is on morbidity indicators in order to prevent the elderly are active during leisure.

The purpose of the study is to identify and compare territorial zones, volumetric-spatial characteristics of buildings and the peculiarities of the formation of open public spaces in Zelenodolsk. The main results of the study are that a comprehensive urban planning analysis was carried out, on the basis of which the features of the formation of territorial zones in the city were revealed, the boundaries of spatial-environmental morphotypes, their environmental features were identified, and the specificity of the formation of a design code for different areas of the city was determined. The significance of the results obtained for architecture and urban planning lies in the fact that the concept of the form-based code developed in the study for Zelenodolsk can become the basis for updating (or updating) urban planning documents (Local standards for urban planning, General plan, urban planning regulations, City beautification rules). The method of identifying and forming spatial-environmental morphotypes in the city is also of great importance, as the basis for creating a form-based code for Russian small and medium-sized industrial cities.

AIM: The aim of this research is to present the outcomes of urban transformations during the post-socialist period in Novi Sad, Serbia, from the aspect of quality of public spaces for children.MATERIAL AND METHODS: This research is a contribution to the process of designing public spaces for children in the times of rapid urban changes and a step forward to creating adequate places for children’s play.RESULTS: The socialist legacy of architectural design and urban planning strategies in terms of housing was altered by the new post-socialist patterns. Residential construction became insufficiently regulated and predominantly profit-driven, which resulted in a disregard of the value public spaces for children should have.CONCLUSIONS: Upon analysing public spaces for children in the city after transition, it can be concluded that there is a significant shortage of attractive places for gathering, play and other leisure activities in many of newly built urban neighbourhoods. It also seems that architects and urban planners did not pay much attention to children’s needs. The distribution of public spaces, their proportions and dimensions, programs and contents, should all be planned with the aim to create harmony between spaces and their users, making the whole process of socialization more successful and intensive.

The crisis of the urban environment is a systemic one, and it is due to a joint action of socio-cultural, politic, economic, physic and ecologic factors. It is also related to the progressive decay of communitarian sense and policy representativeness as generative factors of the city; to his economic bases transformation; to decentralization processes and loss of public spaces; to his increasing dimension and speculative land annuity phenomena; to his unsustainable energy needs and environmental impacts. Therefore, this crisis is summarizable as a systemical and sustainability one. But the crisis of the city is also due to the inadequacy of urban planning: the poor comprehension of city systemic nature and poor presence of sustainability measures, the formal rigidity of the top-down processes unable to manage the bottom-up self-organized transformations, lead to a lack of operability of its instruments. As a consequence, the perspectives of the study of the city have to be shifted from the urban structures to the related processes; from the urban components to the whole environment; from the juxtaposition of objects to social and cultural interactions. The most interesting trends in this direction seem to move toward urban regeneration processes through Digital Social Economy that, together with the use of Social Web Platforms, could make more publicly visible, shared and effectively participative the planning processes allowing a real involvement of citizens and communities. Aims of this study is to summarily describe these trends toward systemic urban planning processes, through the analysis of literature and examples, in light of a possible sustainable future of the human environmental system definable as city.
