<p>U disertaciji su detaljno istraženi uzroci, tok, dinamika i posledice<br />transformacija društvene i prostorne strukture Novog Sada u periodu<br />tranzicije. Kroz multidisciplinarni pristup analizi kompleksnih<br />urbanih fenomena, uspostavljene su korelacije i definisane kauzalne<br />veze između složenih političkih, ekonomskih, institucionalnih i<br />društvenih reformi i urbanih promena, dajući naučni doprinos<br />razumevanju specifičnog konteksta razgradnje socijalističkog i geneze<br />postsocijalističkog grada u okolnostima kašnjenja tranzicionih procesa.<br />Istraživanje predstavlja osnovu za utvrđivanje teorijskih, metodoloških<br />i formalnih principa i smernica za dugoročno planiranje budućih<br />intervencija u gradkom prostoru, kao i teorijsku i analitičku bazu za<br />osmišljavanje određenih segmenata politike urbanog razvoja.</p> / <p>The thesis encompasses а detailed investigation of the causes, course<br />dynamics and outcomes of social and spatial restructuring conducted in Novi<br />Sad during the transitional period. Through a multidisciplinary approach to the<br />analysis of complex urban phenomena, it establishes correlations and defines<br />causal relationships between complex political, economic, institutional and<br />social reforms and urban changes, providing a scientific contribution to<br />understanding mechanisms of context-specific deconstruction of socialist urban<br />matrix and post-socialist city genesis in the circumstances of delay in<br />transitional processes. The thesis provides an insight needed for further<br />investigation of theoretical, methodological and formal principles and guidelines<br />for long-term planning of future interventions in urban space, as well as a<br />theoretical and analytical basis for developing certain segments of urban<br />development policy.</p>

This thesis explores the spatial transformations of the waterfront &amp / #8211 / an urban frontier - of Durr&euml / s port city in Albania, within a predefined timeframe: before, during and after socialism. Within this framework, a special concern of the thesis is the examination of the impact of political, social and economic actors, as well as the morphological and geographic conditions, which occur when transforming the urban space and environment. Thus, the work is constructed on the basis of cause (urban process) &amp / #8211 / effect (physical change) relation, within a particular period of time. The aim of the study is to understand how space was (re)produced, used and transformed in three different and consecutive systems: pre-socialist, socialist and post-socialist one / and the relations set among actors involved in these process, by making a descriptive and comparative spatial analysis utilizing the constituting physical - programmatic elements of the waterfront as the essential tools of the examination. Along with the information on space production process inherent of three political systems, concentrating the attention on the waterfront as an important element of the urban structure / this work will bring some understanding on subjects related to the actual spatial transformations occurring in the city and it social space. Finally, by affirming the waterfront as an edge condition, the notion of &amp / #8216 / edge&amp / #8217 / and its meaning in the socialist and post-socialist city will be elaborated. Keywords: Waterfront, Edge, Urban Frontier, Port-city, Socialist and Post-socialist City, Spatial Transformation

Foreigners within Karlovy Vary urban region: spatial distribution and influences on local environment Due to exceptional migration characteristics of Czechia among CEE countries and entire EU, foreigners are becoming more and more important component of population of our cities. This fact implies the growing importance of foreign population as an agent in process of shaping the lived space. The aim of this diploma thesis is the presence of foreigners within the urban region and broader environs of Karlovy Vary - which currently is a city with one of the highest proportions of foreign population in entire Czechia. Migration characteristics and mobility of population of area are analysed with emphasis on foreigners. Subsequently patterns of spatial distribution of significant groups of foreigners are explained on various levels, based on unique unpublished data from Czech Foreign police office. Then the core section of empirical part is the analysis of influence of foreign inhabitants on the local environment, which stems from detailed field research carried out by the author. The work varies between urban and migration studies and theoretically is roofed by concepts of socio-spatial differentiation and residential mobility. From methodical point of view, the author claims and affiliation to the...

Espaces publics ? Quel projet – de ville et de société - sous-tend les aménagements ? Quelles sont les visions des aménageurs ? Quelles sont les normes et les valeurs qu’ils défendent à travers leurs projets ? Que représente pour eux l’espace public ? Quelle définition en donnent-ils ?Ces questions trouvent une résonnance particulière à Dresde et à Chemnitz : elles sont ces dernières années toutes deux l’objet d’un programme de création et de transformation de leurs espaces publics centraux. Ces deux terrains ne sont pas intéressants pour l’étude de l’imaginaire planificateur qu’en raison de l’importance du programme mené (pas moins de six nouveaux espaces chacune) mais aussi en raison de l’histoire particulière des deux villes. Dresde et Chemnitz ont vu leur centre-ville presque entièrement détruit sous les bombardements alliés en 1945 et seulement partiellement reconstruit sous la RDA selon des principes urbanistiques tout à fait nouveaux. Le choix auquel les planificateurs sont confrontés depuis la chute du régime socialiste et la Réunification est celui du modèle à suivre pour finir de reconstruire le centre-ville toujours inachevé. L’absence quasi-totale de patrimoine à conserver ne rend pas nécessaire le travail de négociation avec les conservateurs du patrimoine, habituellement au cœur de tous les projets contemporains en Europe. Dresde et Chemnitz présentent donc des cas d’étude particulièrement passionnants car les acteurs de la planification jouissent d’une très grande liberté d’action qui leur permet de mettre en œuvre sans entrave juridique leur conception actuelle de l’aménagement des espaces publics. Il serait donc possible ici mieux qu’ailleurs de lire l’imaginaire planificateur contemporain. / Which are the representations that guide the planning actors along their public spaces conception? Which project, -of city, of society- underlies the urban planning? Which are the visions of the planners? Which norms, which values do they want to defend through their project? What is for them the meaning of public space? What is their own definition?These questions are finding a particular echo in Dresden and Chemnitz: these two cities have been the subject for a few years of a creation and transformation program of their central public spaces. These two fields are interesting for the study of the planner’s imagination not only due to the importance of the program led (not less than six new public spaces in each city) but also due to specific history of both cities. The center of Dresden and Chemnitz has been almost completely destroyed by the allied bombardments in 1945 and it has been only partially rebuilt under the GDR according to completely new urbanistic principles. Since the fall of the Socialist Regime and the Reunification, the question of the planners is which model is to be followed to achieve the reconstruction of the still unfinished city center.The almost complete lack of architectural heritage to protect does not make it necessary to negotiate with the architectural heritage officers who are in Europe at the heart of all contemporary projects. In that respect, Dresden and Chemnitz are particularly entrancing, because the planning actors enjoy a very large liberty to implement without any legal obstruction their conception of the urban planning. It would be possible here than better anywhere else to read the contemporary planning imagination.

Les villes d’Europe centrale et orientale suscitent l’intérêt des chercheurs, car leur évolution a suivi des trajectoires particulières vu leur histoire complexe. Mais le plus souvent leurs transformations sont recensées à partir des changements politiques et socio-économiques et non pas du point de vue de l’évolution morphologique et fonctionnelle. Cette thèse propose une démarche d’analyse quantitative à la fois des changements morphologiques des villes d’Europe centrale et orientale avant et après l’effondrement de communisme, ainsi que des changements fonctionnels dans la période post-socialiste, les deux doublées par une analyse exploratoire de la capacité de résilience spatiale et socio-économique des villes à court et à long terme. Par conséquent, cette thèse vise à ajouter la dimension spatiale à l’analyse socio-économique et politique de la ville post-socialiste de l’Europe centrale et orientale, en questionnant les similarités et les dissimilarités qui les caractérisent. Nos résultats montrent un territoire d’Europe centrale et orientale assez hétérogène, avec des fractures ouest-est au niveau régional (dans l’ensemble du territoire), mais également au niveau national. La ville d’Europe centrale et orientale s’esquisse dans un modelé urbain conciliant l’héritage du passé, y compris l’héritage socialiste, avec les nouvelles demandes de l’économie de marché, ce qui se traduit spatialement par l’émergence d’une ville qui se rapproche du modèle de la ville d’Europe de l’Ouest, tout en restant différente. / Cities in Central and Eastern Europe are a subject of interest for researchers, as their evolution has followed particular trajectories in view of their complex history. However, often, the transformations of the cities of Central and Eastern European countries are analysed by taking into account only the political and socio-economic changes and not from the point of view of morphological and functional evolution. Thus, this thesis proposes a quantitative approach in what concerns the analysis of both the morphological changes of the cities of Central and Eastern Europe before and after the collapse of communism as well as the functional changes of the post-socialist period, both doubled by an exploratory analysis of spatial and socio-economic capacity of resilience of cities in the short and long term. Therefore, this thesis aims to add the spatial dimension to the socio-economic and political analysis of the post-socialist city of Central and Eastern Europe, by questioning the similarities and dissimilarities that characterize them. Our results show a rather heterogeneous territory of Central and Eastern Europe, with West-East fractures at the regional level, as well as at the national level. The city of Central and Eastern Europe is outlined as an urban model that seeks to reconcile the legacy of the past, including the socialist legacy, with the new demands of the market economy, which spatially translates into the emergence of a similar city, but in the same time different from that of Western Europe, which he seeks to match, fact that proves its complex context of evolution.
