To increase social sustainability in cities and communities, interactions between community members is a key factor. This has engaged a research project on social sustainability, connected to an emerging urban district in Sweden. This research was done in collaboration with local stakeholders being part of this research project. Qualitative methods were used, including semi-structured interviews, and thematic analysis. Design iterations has lead to a final design proposal for a public installation and technologically enhanced interaction, containing significant characteristics. The first characteristic is playful and exciting tiny-scale events happening in the everyday life that makes people in the same urban area to be aware of each other, giving opportunities for new relationships as well as enhancing their social and emotional connection to a place, what I call microevents. A second characteristic found is the loosely structured community, which entailed the focus on people of a community that has primarily the place in common, rather than a specific interest. Finally I identified the characteristic of villagescape that strives towards the village’s community in an urban environment. This concept contains a number of attributes, for example the acknowledgment of all people belonging to a specific urban place, the promotion of a welcoming, trustful and genuine feeling, and to keep thresholds low for meetings to occur between people.

This thesis examines how techniques from place marketing, developed to market places, can be used in the process of designing a visual identity for an institution. The thesis is a case study of the development of a new visual identity for the public art institution Malmö konsthall. The essay presents Malmö Konsthall, defines the term visual identity and describes the main principles in place branding. I then define target audiences and key values, discuss the application of place marketing principle and go through the design process of the new visual identity. The process showed that theories about flagship buildings, signature design and signature districts have the biggest influence on the design. The conclusion is that theories from place marketing can be valuable tools for graphic designers, and would benefit from being explored further. Several strategies in place marketing function, mainly those relating to environment and architecture, can be of direct benefit to the designer.

O objetivo deste estudo é, a partir da delimitação de um espaço central de São Paulo compreendido simbólica e rizomaticamente entre a Via Elevada Presidente João Goulart (Minhocão, no Centro) e o Largo da Batata (Pinheiros, Zona Oeste), investigar como se comportam determinadas ações culturais institucionais e não institucionais circunscritas nessa centralidade que promovem a conexão entre a cultura e a produção da cidade, operando numa tensão contínua entre o consenso e o dissenso e na tensão entre as noções de público e de privado na cidade, num movimento que se dá por esforços intencionais -- muitas vezes por razões econômicas --, mas também pelo inesperado e pelo encontro fortuito com o simbólico nas brechas e contrabrechas da cidade. Deseja-se, com esta reflexão, contribuir para o pensamento de novos caminhos para a Ciência da Informação e a Política Cultural, em que a promoção do diálogo entre os recursos culturais da cidade e seus atores sociais se dê a partir de conexões móveis e muitas vezes imprevistas, que partem do que é próprio do tenso e do instável, sim, mas em busca do que é comum e que projete outros futuros em que o fortuito, o desejo e a necessidade não estejam tão apartados. / The main objective of this thesis is to examine the impact of certain institutional and non-institutional cultural actions circumscribed in the central region of the city of São Paulo --understood symbolically and rhizomatically between the elevated highway President João Goulart (\"Minhocão\", in the downtown district) and the Largo da Batata, in the Pinheiros district, in the western zone of the capital. Such organizations promote the connection between culture and the production of the city. They operate in a continuous tension between consensus and dissent and between the notions of public and private in the city, in a movement that occurs by intentional efforts --often for economic reasons. We will investigate the unexpected and fortuitous clashes with the symbolic in the breachs and in the counterbreachs of the city. We want to contribute to the thinking of new paths for Cultural Policy and Information Science, in which the promotion of dialogue between the city\'s cultural resources and its social actors occurs on improbable connections and many unforeseen times. Constantly starting from the shock and the unstable, yes, but always in search of what is common and projecting other futures in which desire and need are not so far apart.

Developments in information technology and tangible computing facilitate the human’s life by inventing Self Service Technologies SSTs where it changed the way we interact with the environment as well as new technologies did. Nowadays, a lot of new technologies have embodied computer inside such as smartphone and computer tablets. Previous studies in adoption of SSTs research treat customer behavior towards technology based services. However, recent studies recognize that participants have different attitude towards different technologies even if these technologies used to support the same service. Therefore, in our thesis we are going to study the effect of smartphone i.e. iPhone and computer tablets i.e. iPad on adoption of three services of SSTs Internet Banking, Online Shopping and Self Check In Machine at Airports. Is there any hesitation while people adopting with this technology? If yes, why does it happen? Our data were collected by conducting a pilot and empirical study via using quantitative and qualitative approaches. We conducted our study at Umeå, Sweden. The study findings present the effect of adoption through age, family, friends, money, knowledge, using technology in public and private places, mobile technology and computer tablets, and Interface design on adoption SSTs. We found that participants were influenced by new technology for adopting SSTs. Participants did not use Online Shopping as much as they use Internet Banking, especially in the private places. Concerning the Self Check in Machines, participants were differential in which some tend to use it and others did not.

Viešoji tvarka, kaip baudžiamojo įstatymo ginama vertybė, - tai moralės ir pagarbos principais pagrįstos bendrosios viešo elgesio taisyklės, kurių laikymasis užtikrina visuomenėje įprastą gyvenimo eigą, civilizuotus iškylančių konfliktų sprendimo būdus. Magistro baigiamajame darbe ,,Baudžiamoji atsakomybė už viešosios tvarkos pažeidimą“, remiantis Lietuvos Respublikos BK ir kitais teisės aktais, įvairiomis mokslinėmis koncepcijomis, teismų praktika, kompleksiškai nagrinėjami diskusiniai klausimai, kurie iškyla siekiant atskleisti viešosios tvarkos pažeidimo sudėčių požymius, jų ypatumus, ir siekiant nustatyti atribojimo kriterijus. Atkreipiamas dėmesys į Lietuvos Respublikos BK 284 straipsnio 2 dalyje įtvirtinto viešosios tvarkos pažeidimo, kaip baudžiamojo nusižengimo, atribojimo problematiką nuo Lietuvos Respublikos ATPK 174 straipsnyje numatyto administracinio teisės pažeidimo - nedidelio chuliganizmo. Paminėto darbo tikslas – atskleisti viešosios tvarkos pažeidimo, numatyto Lietuvos Respublikos BK 284 straipsnio 1 dalyje ir 2 dalyje, objektyviuosius ir subjektyviuosius požymius, nustatyti jų tarpusavio atribojimo kriterijus, ir jų atribojimą nuo kitų nusikalstamų veikų. Tai aktualu todėl, kad 2000 m. gegužės 1 d. įsigaliojusiame Lietuvos Respublikos BK įstatymų leidėjas numatė naujas viešosios tvarkos pažeidimo sudėtis, ir atsisakė mokslininkų prieštaringai vertinamos sąvokos ,,chuliganizmas“.

The general target of the Thesis ,,Criminal liability for violation of public order “ is the complex analysis of theoretical and practical problems related to the objective and subjective elements of violation of public order. Also, the main indications of distinction are analyzed in order to distinguish violation of public order from other criminal offences. Besides, much attention is paid to distinction of the second part of article 284 of Criminal code from almost identical 174 article of Administrative law offences code. These aspects are analyzed according to Criminal Code of the Republic of Lithuania, other legal laws, legal concepts and judicial practice. It is important to do it as Criminal Code of the Republic of Lithuania, which came into force from the 1st May of 2003, established the new structure of violation of public order and abolished the term ,,hooliganism”, which was critiqued by scientists. Despite the advanced legal regulation of violation of public order, courts decisions presents many problems arising in the field of qualification of the aforementioned criminal offence. As a consequence, such objective elements as public order and public place are studied in detail. The basic problems analyzed in this Thesis are uncertainty... [to full text]

Les événements urbains festifs (EUF) s'imposent non seulement comme de nouvelles pratiques sociales, mais aussi en tant qu'action urbaine et objet d'analyse de la recherche urbaine. Ils agissent sur l'espace public suivant des logiques distinctes éphémères, cycliques, immatérielles des actions urbaines « traditionnelles » et des modalités actuelles de gestion de tels espaces. Aussi, cette recherche vise à appréhender si les logiques de gestion des EUF ouvrent de nouvelles perspectives pour la gestion des espaces publics. Pour répondre à ce questionnement, le cadre théorique de la « Gestion de site » a été mobilisé. Ce dernier décrit et permet d'appréhender les modalités de gestion de quatre sites urbains (gares multimodales, centres-villes, centres commerciaux, résidences privées avec services) complexes (du point de vue de la coexistence de fonctions, de services urbains, d'usages et d'intérêts sectoriels, spécifiques), permanents, de natures distinctes et proposant des ambiances particulières à leurs usagers.Il est apparu que ce cadre théorique permettait bien d'appréhender les modalités de gestion d'autres sites urbains aussi complexes que ceux analysés par la « Gestion de site », et pourtant de nature éphémères : les sites de déroulement des EUF. Ce cadre théorique a donc été confronté à deux EUF se déroulant sur des sites éphémères : « Bordeaux-fête-le-vin » et les « Rendez-vous de l'Erdre » à Nantes. Ce choix est motivé principalement par le fait que ces EUF sont mis en place précisément sur des sites composés par une série d'espaces publics dont la gestion quotidienne et événementielle est complexe : les « espaces publics fluviaux ». L'analyse de la gestion de ces deux EUF par le prisme de la « Gestion de site » met en évidence des enseignements sur la gestion de l'événementiel qui, d'une part, nourrissent la réflexion autour de la gestion des espaces publics complexes et, d'autre part, enrichissent la « Gestion de site » en apportant des éléments inédits à ce cadre théorique nouveau / Festive urban events (EUF) stand out not only as new social practices, but also as urban actions providing a basis for urban research. Compared to "traditional" urban actions and current methods of public space management, Festive urban events in public spaces follow different dynamics ; they are ephemeral, cyclic, and immaterial. This research examines the management implications of Festive urban events and attempts to determine if these events' dynamics can unlock new perspectives for public space management.To answer our research enquiries, a Management of site (GS) theoretical framework is used. This theoretical framework describes and addresses the common management methods of four urban sites : multimodal rail stations, downtown areas, shopping malls, and private residences with services. These four site types are complexes, incorporating the coexistence of multiple urban functions and services, varied practices and interacting sector-based interests. These site types are permanent and offer a unique ambiance to their users. It appeared early on that a Management of site framework also allows describing the management methods of another kind of urban site, ephemeral nature, which seems as complex as those previously analyzed by this theoretical framework: the ephemeral sites in which Festive urban events are held. The Management of site framework was therefore examined with two different Festive urban events taking place in an ephemeral site : Bordeaux-fête-le-vin in the city of Bordeaux and the Rendez-vous de l'Erdre in the city of Nantes. This choice was made largely because these Festive urban events are held in ephemeral sites comprised of a number of different yet interacting components that require complex management : riverbank public places. The analysis of management methods of both these Festive urban events through the prism of the Management of site framework provides substantial insight into special event management. This insight enhances our understanding of complex public space manag ement and enriches the Management of site framework by introducing new analysis criteria

No início do século XIX, a história da cidade integra-se à formação da avenida e as influências cidade-avenida passam a ser recíprocas. Com o intuito de elucidar essas relações, a presente dissertação apresenta o histórico da avenida e suas principais transformações, através da identificação dos marcos históricos na paisagem. O entendimento das características da paisagem urbana e do espaço público tornou-se necessário para a análise das intervenções ocorridas. O recorte temporal da pesquisa aqui relatada inicia-se em 1836, data relacionada ao desvio que deu origem à avenida, estendendo-se até os dias atuais. Como área de estudo, considerou-se a avenida Barão do Rio Branco em toda a sua extensão. Tratou-se de uma pesquisa de natureza básica, configurando um estudo de caráter documental e bibliográfico, através de revisão bibliográfica, coleta de dados primários, iconografia e dados aferidos pelo autor para a caracterização da via na atualidade. A interpretação do histórico da avenida contribui para o esclarecimento dos meandros de sua formação, sobretudo datas específicas e períodos. As intervenções relacionadas cronologicamente possibilitaram a observação dos rebatimentos na conformação da malha urbana, identificando o papel da avenida como importante articuladora da área central. As transformações na paisagem e na conformação da avenida também puderam ser observadas em seus diferentes períodos, visto que, ao longo do tempo, a avenida Barão do Rio Branco passou por muitas alterações que tiveram significativo impacto na paisagem de Juiz de Fora. De caráter estrutural ou embelezamento, essas alterações mostram a grande importância da avenida nesta cidade. / The formation of theurbancenter of Juiz de Fora/MG in theregion where it isestablished, is duelargelyto its main route, the Barão do Rio Branco Avenue. In the early nineteenth century the history of the city is part of the formation of the avenue and city-avenue influences become reciprocal.In order to elucidate these relationships, this research shows the history of the avenue and its major transformation, by identifying landmarks in the landscape, space and time. Understanding the features of the urban landscape and public space has become necessary to analyze the interventions occurred. The time frame begins in 1836, when related to the detour that resulted Avenue, extending to the present day. As the study area considered the Barão do Rio Branco Avenue in all their extension. This is a basic nature of search, setting a documentary and bibliographical study, developed at the Post Graduate Program in Built Environment of the Federal University of Juiz de Fora, through literature review, primary data collection, iconography and data measured by the author to characterize the road today. The interpretation of the avenue's history helps to clarify the intricacies of their training, particularly specific periods and dates. Related interventions in chronology enable observation of repercussions in shaping the urban fabric, identifying the role of the avenue as an important articulator of the central area. The changes in the landscape and Avenue conformation could be observed at different periods, as over time the Barão do Rio Branco Avenue goes through many changes that had a significant impact on Juiz de Fora landscape. Structural or beautification character, these changes show the great importance of the avenue to the city.

Essa característica foi particularmente acentuada no início do século XX, com a chamada “Belle Époque” brasileira, quando a praça passou a ser conhecida como um dos principais lugares de vida boêmia carioca. Durante o século XX, a paisagem da cidade passou por profundas modificações em seu traçado e em sua dinâmica devido às inúmeras intervenções. A dissertação consiste na análise da imaginária urbana da praça Tiradentes, através de seis conjuntos escultóricos que estão – ou já estiveram – localizados nesse espaço ao longo dos séculos XIX, XX e XXI. A metodologia busca, a partir da análise dos elementos elencados como imaginária urbana, compreender de modo geral a sua relação no espaço público e com os agentes sociais em cada recorte temporal analisado. Procura-se demonstrar que esses elementos urbanos são sintetizadores das imagens da praça e estão ligadas às intervenções urbanas realizadas durante os séculos XIX, XX e XXI. Portanto, as intervenções urbanísticas implementadas reverberam os diferentes pensamentos urbanísticos e os ideais de remodelação do espaço público em diversas temporalidades, os quais, de algum modo, revelam-se na praça na contemporaneidade. Assim, a tríade analítica formada pela imaginária urbana, espaço público e agentes sociais se estabelece como método para o estudo da memória e vida urbana. / Tiradentes Square, located in downtown Rio de Janeiro, stands out as a public space of intense social life and culture since the Royal Family came to Brazil in the 19th Century. This characteristic was particularly enhanced at the beginning of the 20th Century, with the so-called "Belle Epoque" in Brazil. The square, then, became known as one of the main bohemian places in Rio. During the 20th Century, the landscape of the city went through profound changes in its layout and dynamics due to numerous interventions. The dissertation consists of the urban imaginary analysis of Tiradentes Square through six sets of sculpture that are located, or have been, in its space throughout the 19th, 20th and 21th Centuries. The methodology seeks, based on the analysis of the elements listed as urban imaginary, to understand in a general way the relation between itself and the public space as well as the social agents in each lapse analyzed. It is aimed to demonstrate that these urban elements are synthesizers of the images of the place and are linked to the urban interventions done during the 19th, 20th and 21th Centuries. Therefore, the implemented urban interventions reverberate the different urbanistic theories and the remodeling ideals of the public space in different temporalities, which, somehow, are revealed in the square in the contemporaneity. Thus, the analytical triad formed by urban imaginary, public space and social agents is established as a method for the study of memory and urban life in the city.
