<p><strong>Abstract</strong></p><p>The rate of technological improvements, scientific activities and post-urbanization has increased rapidly, which has affected urban users. By creating an integral part of the city's environment, the use of active green areas enables the community to realize all sorts of social activities. City users prefer open public spaces in urban squares to perform recreational activities (relaxation, rest, eating and having a good time). Urban areas, which are mostly used by the users during the urbanization period, are the squares and the connected roads. The streets providing the plazas and transportation are the cultural heritage bearers of urban life as well as the memories that a city has accumulated over the years. The squares also have the effect of creating an image of the city reflecting its identity. As part of life in urban squares and streets, people are engaged in activities both physically and socially. However, these areas are occupied with heavy traffic and surrounded by the buildings at the point we are nowadays. For this reason, contemporary cities have begun to face contradictions as unidentified and unqualified compared to past cities. In this study, the city square and the connected Gazipaşa Street, Uzun Sokak, Maraş Street, which are described as the Trabzon Ataturk Field, were discussed in terms of square images, square functions, square functions and spatial structures. In this sense, the effects of the squares that differ from social, cultural and economical in terms of urban life, design and planning criteria have been evaluated. Observations and evaluations were carried out in the study. In this context, the quality of life of users has been evaluated and recommendations have been developed.</p><p><strong>Öz</strong></p><p>Teknolojik gelişmelerle bilimsel etkinlikler sonucu kentleşme oranı hızla artmış, bu durum kent kullanıcılarını etkilemiştir. Kent çevresiyle bir bütün oluşturarak aktif yeşil alan kullanımları ile toplumun her türlü sosyal aktiviteyi gerçekleştirebileceği olanaklara imkân sağlar. Kent kullanıcıları ise rekreatif (rahatlama, dinlenme, yemek yeme ve hoş vakit geçirme) etkinlikleri gerçekleştirmek için kent meydanlarındaki açık kamusal mekanları tercih ederler. Kentleşme süresi içerisinde kullanıcıların en yoğun kullandıkları kentsel alanlar meydanlar ve bağlantılı olan caddelerdir. Meydanlar ve ulaşımı sağlayan sokaklar bir kentin yıllar boyunca içinde biriktirdiği anıları ile kentsel yaşam noktası niteliğindeki kültürel bir miras taşıyıcılarıdır. Meydanlar aynı zamanda kimliğini yansıtarak kente imaj yaratma etkisi de vardır. Kent meydanları ve sokaklarda yaşamın bir parçası olarak insanlar fiziksel ve sosyal açıdan etkinliklerde bulunurlar. Ancak günümüzde geldiğimiz noktada bu alanlar yoğun trafik ile işgal edilerek binalarla kuşatılmıştır. Bu nedenle geçmiş kentlerine oranla günümüz kentleri kimliksiz ve niteliksiz olarak karşımıza çıkmaya başlamıştır. Bu çalışmada Trabzon Atatürk Alanı olarak nitelendirilen kent meydanı ve bağlantılı Gazipaşa Caddesi, Uzun Sokak, Maraş Caddesi’nde yapılar, meydan imgeleri, meydan işlev-fonksiyonları ve mekansal yapıları bakımından ele alınmıştır. Bu anlamda sosyal, kültürel ve ekonomik açıdan farklılık gösteren meydanların kent yaşamına olan etkileri, tasarım ve planlama kriterleri değerlendirilmiştir. Çalışmada gözlemler ve değerlendirmeler yapılmıştır. Bu kapsamda kullanıcıların yaşam kaliteleri değerlendirilerek öneriler geliştirilmiştir.</p>

The quality of the urban environment determines a lasting relationship between a man and his place of residence. Sustainable management of the urban spaces is crucial as it directly affects their quality. The article analyses the results of the sustainability regarding spatial, socio-economic, technical and environmental aspects, which are one of the many conditions that contribute to the proper functioning of urban life. They also influence the quality of life and residence in the urban environment. There are different ways of expressing the development of the cities defined by specific indicators. They focus mainly on development of the quality of life - social, economic and environmental development. The sustainable urban design is related to issues connected with the form and spatial management. This topic is presented on the example of the city of Oświęcim - the Old Town district with the surrounding area.

Detailed Work

The structure and distribution of quality of life forms a key area of research in human geography, with particular attention given to conditions at the disadvantaged end of the quality-of-life spectrum. To date, most work has focused on the national, regional, or interurban scale. However, whereas descriptive pattern identification and mapping is of value at the macroscale as a pointer to detailed work, policy-relevant quality-of-life indicators are more likely to be derived at the local scale and to be related to specific life concerns. In the present research, a multiscale multiindicator methodology is used to examine the structure and distribution of life quality in Glasgow. In a series of analyses in which objective and subjective indicators are employed at different geographic scales, the city-wide pattern of life quality is identified and a number of severely disadvantaged subareas isolated. Within one such subarea the quality-of-life experience of a particular social group, the elderly, is examined in detail. Application of the methodology in other cities could facilitate intercity and cross-cultural comparisons of quality-of-life variations within contemporary urban areas. Such investigations can also be of practical utility for decisionmakers seeking to define priorities for social policy.

O trabalho em questão analisa, segundo o prisma da Geografia, a importância do patrimônio natural em ambiente urbano. Como objetivo principal, pretende compreender a percepção que os residentes na cidade de Coimbra (Portugal) têm da natureza e do papel que o património natural pode desempenhar na qualidade de vida da cidade. Para alcançar esses objetivos, inicia-se o texto com uma reflexão teórica que percorre conceitos como a topofilia e os olhares sociais sobre o ambiente e a natureza em contexto citadino. Depois, seguem-se dois procedimentos diferentes, mas complementares: (1) Como forma de registro da presença e do estado de conservação da natureza em Coimbra e da interação entre os cidadãos e o patrimônio natural naquele espaço geográfico, fez-se uma análise de campo com a montagem de um banco de dados fotográficos que representam excertos deste território; (2) Inquéritos por meio de entrevistas, em dois bairros da cidade – Vale das Flores e Monte Formoso – privilegiando adultos com idades superiores aos 30 anos. Apesar de a pesquisa ter revelado algumas contradições entre a prática e o discurso na percepção e na relação topofílica para com as áreas verdes urbanas, concluiu-se que a presença do patrimônio natural no ambiente urbano ainda se apresenta como uma questão secundária. Contudo, também se verificou que, para reforço desta relação simbólica e/ou funcional, o patrimônio natural deve estar presente em todo o contínuo urbano e não ficar restrito aos bairros mais elitizados ou aos parques. Abstract THE CITIZENS TOPOPHILIA AND THE NATURAL URBAN PATRIMONY: COIMBRA’S CASE STUDY This paper analyzes the importance of natural patrimony in the urban environment, under the prism of geography. The main objective of this study is to understand how nature is perceived in the city of Coimbra (Portugal) and the role that green areas and natural patrimony has in the quality of urban life. To achieve these objectives, this article discusses the conceptual argument about environmental perception, topophilia and the nature in the city. For this, it was used two different procedures: (1) Field analysis on the city of Coimbra with purpose to setting up a photographic database, to verify the presence, conservation and relationship to the natural patrimony inserted in urban environment; (2) Investigation through interviews in two neighborhoods of the city – Vale das Flores and Monte Formoso. The data revealed that the perception and the topophilic relationship to urban green areas are marked by the contradiction between practice and discourse. It was concluded that the presence of natural patrimony in the urban environment still present itself as a secondary issue. Moreover, it was concluded that to strengthen this relationship symbolically and/or functionally the natural patrimony must be present throughout all the continuous urban areas and should not be restricted to elite neighborhoods or parks.

Abstract Warehouses are a fundamental element for the supply chain and, consequentially, provide resources for people to perform their daily tasks. Their location determines the type of goods movements that will be performed in the city area. Knowing their location is essential to define public policies applied to urban freight transport, city livability and economic development. In the search to make a better diagnosis of its area, the Belo Horizonte City Hall developed the urban quality-of-life index (UQLI) and the local supply index (LSI). This article used linear regression to identify the correlation amongst the UQLI, the LSI and the location of the logistics warehouses in urban areas. The best model obtained from the econometric analysis is the one that correlates warehouses with supermarkets, bookstores and stationery, residential area, quality of the house, bank and gas station. The results obtained were confirmed with spatial analysis. This result allows concluding that the warehouses are influenced by the favourable zoning, low land cost, proximity of regional and main streets of the city and high population and retailer density.

The work is devoted to the consideration of the concepts of the spatial development of the cities of Ukraine taking into account today's specifics of the formation of institutes of their management. The issues discussed in this article are relevant to almost any city in modern Ukraine at the stage of transition of the country from industrial to post-industrial type. Among the most pressing issues are the rational use of territorial resources and environmental security within urban systems. There is also a trend of uneven economic development in urban areas. The solution to this problem is the balanced development of urban space with a diversified economy and infrastructure, as well as high quality of life. The formation of multifunctional urban areas will ensure sustainable spatial development of the city and significantly affect the quality of life. Identifying areas within the city that are inefficiently used and have additional development potential will provide an important resource, which, unlike remote areas, is already provided with transport and engineering infrastructure. Efficient use of territorial resources will allow the formation of a rational compact planning structure of the city. The housing of high quality should be provided with the necessary social and transport infrastructure, be diverse, medium, and multi-story. Comfortable stay of citizens in public spaces involves the integration of public spaces into the cultural life of the city based on the expansion of existing and introduction of new functional content, including the implementation of commercial initiatives and their use in organizing important socio-cultural projects. A comfortable stay in the city largely depends on the architectural appearance of its historic and modern buildings. Existing buildings create the front line of streets, form the environment of public spaces, define the line of the city silhouette. Filling the existing recreational areas included in the system of public spaces with new meanings to citizens.

This Study is an empiric- analytical research in city planning discipline was conducted in Sulaymaniyah city from Dec. 2015 until July 2017. Geographically Sulaymaniah situates north-east of Republic of Iraq. Like many other urban centers, Sulaymaniyah city as one of the congested urban areas in Kurdistan Region, is almost over populated and congested, resulting in accumulated problems in health-, economical-, services, technical-, social- and planning affairs, which leads to permanent degrading of the natural, and social environment and thus impact on the quality of life, Thus the main concern of this study is firstly finding out the reasons facts indeed responsible for the above described unsatisfied situations and then try to answer the questions whether planning methods (if any) manage to prepare answers to these urgent problems overwhelming the city? The study believes that the cardinal reasons for this situation are the effects of combinations of triple facts, namely: the exponential growth of human population in general- and accompanied problems-, the destroyed balance between rural and urban areas and the political vision of administrative machinery that focus on urban centers by neglecting countryside. The cumulative effect of these facts could be observed in form of many distinctive and at the same time interlocking elements leads to the problems that mentioned above. Among many elements involving, the study handles, analyzes and discusses only the elements indeed responsible for destroying the visual, physical and health conditions of the city inhabitants in Sulaymaniyah. Used criterion in determining these elements are the terms: active element, Passive Element, Critical element, and buffer element, which give the adequate answer to the arise questions.

In general, the presence of green open space as one element in the urban spatial is very weak and the potencial is reduced portion because they do not have a high economic value. One function of green open space is for micro-climate amelioration, making green open space as a lugs of the city for helping the formation of a cool and comfortable climate in the vicinity. This comfort is determined by the interdependence between the factors of air temperature, air humidity, light and wind movement. Vegetation can improve the quality of the local climate or reducing temperature named micro-climate amelioration function as well. This study aimed to evaluate and redesign the typology of green open space to create green resolution with conversion of carbon to compansate for changes in the landscape that occur as a result of ongoing development. The study was conducted in urban areas of West Papua Province with five cases were selected purposively. Refers to the Ministry of Public Work No. 5 of 2008 and some related references, the results of research (qualitative exploration research) showed that 3 of the 5 cases have not met the ideal typology of Green Open Spaces, while two other cases have met the ideal typology for ecological function, but remain in need of the final material. Redesigns of Green Open Spaces that has been generated from this study are expected to restore ecological functions with holding the ecologycal aspect as a priority matter to consider as well. Therefor those can be used by local goverments for planning repairs or improvements in the future.
