Ce travail de recherche se concentre sur les questions du développement respectueux de la ville de Hué et de ses environs, en accordant une importance spécifique à la conservation et la mise en valeur des qualités faisant la particularité de cette ville et des villages avoisinants. La recherche est construite dans le contexte où le processus d'urbanisation et la prolifération des nouvelles zones urbaines et des nouveaux quartiers résidentiels ont entraîné de nombreuses menaces et dangers pour cette ville et ont engendré la perte des valeurs caractéristiques de ce territoire. Les hypothèses de la recherche abordent les relations entre la conservation, la mise en valeur et la gestion durable du patrimoine, du système de l'eau et des valeurs caractéristiques des villages d'ores et déjà inscrits dans le développement environnemental, économique, socioculturel de ce territoire. Les corpus principaux utilisés dans cette thèse, sont des données de cartographique GIS Hué 2010 et des cartes anciennes traitées par la l'analyse cartographique et l'analyse comparative des documents, des ouvrages historiques concernant la ville de Hué et des villages d'étude, ainsi que des entretiens, des questionnaires d'enquête, des relevés photographiques récoltés lors de nos séjours d'étude de terrain à Hué. Grâce à la méthodologie d'analyse, surtout l'analyse cartographique et la méthodologie d'enquête de terrain, nous pouvons définir des caractères spécifiques de ce territoire et démontrer des menaces et des dangers principaux pour cette ville et ses environs face aux processus d'urbanisation. Dans la recherche, nous avons également l'ambition de proposer ce qu'il faudrait mettre en œuvre pour un développement respectueux de l'environnement écologique, de la qualité de vie et du bien-être des habitants, des potentiels de l'économie locale, et de même que des valeurs caractéristiques de la ville de Hué et des villages avoisinants. / This research focuses on the issues of the respectful development of Hue City and its surroundings, with a specific emphasis on the conservation and the regeneration of qualities, which constitute the peculiarity of this city and surrounding villages. The research is built in the context where the urbanization and the proliferation of new urban areas and new residential neighborhoods led to numerous threats and hazards to the city and resulted in the loss of characteristic values of this area. The hypotheses of the research concern the relationship between conservation, regeneration and sustainable management of heritage, water system and characteristics values of the traditional villages with the environmental development, the economic development, the social and cultural development of this territory. The main corpus used in this thesis is the data mapping GIS 2010 Hue and the ancient maps , these documents, historical works for Hue city and study villages, and interviews, survey questionnaires, photographic records collected during our field survey in Hue. Thanks to the analytical methodology, especially the cartographic analysis and the onsite survey methodology, we can define the specific characteristics of this area and demonstrate the main threats and hazards to the city and the surroundings caused by the urbanization. In this research, we also aim at offering what to do in order to reach a friendly development of the ecological environment, the quality of life and the comfort of local citizens, the potential of the local economy as well as the characteristic values of Hue City and surrounding villages.

À la fin de l’époque médiévale, les reliques sont un objet omniprésent dans le monde chrétien, particulièrement dans les églises urbaines. Les critiques puis destructions protestantes au cours du XVIe siècle constituent une première période de crise, conclue par un réinvestissement important de la réforme catholique. Ces premiers bouleversements ont plusieurs conséquences. Les reliques sont désormais l’objet d’une gestion de plus en plus rationnelle, que ce soit dans leur recension ou dans leur situation dans l’espace ecclésial. Car jusqu’à la Révolution française, les églises de Lyon, Metz, Rouen et Toulouse reçoivent d’innombrables corps saints, souvent en provenance de Rome, accompagnant la multiplication des couvents en ville. Les reliques sont données par des laïcs et des membres du clergé dans des visées autant religieuses que sociales. Les cérémonies de translations traduisent un catholicisme triomphant. Certains corps saints, souvent issus du panthéon local, prennent à cette époque une valeur identitaire et patrimoniale. Ils sont considérés comme les protecteurs de la cité, au cœur d’une relation spécifique entre les villes et le monde divin. Ces corps saints sont particulièrement utilisés lors des périodes de crises urbaines, qu’elles soient épidémiques, naturelles ou encore politiques. Les reliques sont également régulièrement mobilisées dans les Histoire de ces quatre villes pour souligner et illustrer leur élection divine. Ces liens entre villes et reliques se distendent à partir du XVIIIe siècle, sous l’effet de l’essor d’une critique historique et philosophique. La Révolution française entérine ce changement, malgré des tentatives de restauration sacrale. D’objets chrétiens, les corps saints deviennent des objets confessionnels au XVIIe siècle, puis, à partir du XIXe siècle, des objets militants. / During the Late Medieval Period, relics are a very common object in the Christian World and in urban churches. Protestant criticisms and destructions during the 16th century were a first crisis ended by a catholic reinvestment. These disruptions transformed relics into a more rational object, with systematic inventories and new localisations inside churches. Until French Revolution, churches of Lyon, Metz, Rouen and Toulouse received countless relics, mostly from Rome, to support the foundation of new urban convents. Laymen and clerics gave relics to improve their social and religious status. Ceremonies of translation showed a Catholicism that had triumphed again. Some relics got an identity and heritage value. They became the protectors of the city with a specific relationship between citizens and the Divine world. These relics are often used during urban crises like epidemics, natural disasters and political crisis. The History of the towns also used relics as evidence and illustration of urban Sanctity. These links became slack during the 18th century because of historical and philosophical criticisms. French Revolution confirmed this evolution, despite attempts of sacral remediation. From Christian objects, relics became confessional objects and from the beginning of the 19th century onwards, militant objects.

Sarajevo is a city in which, for centuries, people of different religions and ethnicities have lived together. But the war in the early 1990s partitioned the country into almost ethnically homogenous parts. The aim of this work is to find out, how young people between the ages of 18 - 29 years old perceive the identity of contemporary Sarajevo and to what extent they identify with the official narrative of Sarajevo as a multi-ethnic city. An online survey was conducted in March 2016 by a sample of 66 young Bosniaks, Bosnian Serbs, and Bosnian Croats. The research examines how they identify with the Sarajevan urban identity and the influential factors, such as ethnic categorization, religious beliefs, origin, or dominant information sources. To provide a deeper insight, the online survey was extended to include 15 in-depth interviews with young Sarajevans. There, the author uses a metaphor of a bridge to analyze the young Sarajevans' point of view regarding inter-ethnic relations and identity of their city. The outcome of the research is recognition that young Sarajevans often deny the ethnic categorization and perceive the every- day contact between different ethnic groups as non-problematic. As a consequence, the participants see Sarajevo as a unique city in the Bosnian context and typically distinguish...

Using Indian paths, colonizers went into the vale interior and, creating and new paths net consolidated settlements. In the XVIII century, migration and urbanization were intensified in this area because of the gold cycle, at the same time when there was a concern from the Portuguese Crown regarding the territory s protection. The ecclesiastic orders, and especially the Jesuits, were conclusive in this conquest and domination process, as from the relation between Crown and Church we have had Brazil s land distribution structure, during the Colonial era. These institution s actions shaped the morphology of the first settlements but also elaborated the physiognomy of S?o Luis do Paraitinga and Bananal, analyzed and compared in this study, which approaches aspects of the development of their identities pointing political, economical, religious and habits issues. / A primeira ocupa??o do Vale do Para?ba est? vinculada ? busca da m?o-de-obra ind?gena e do ouro, que posteriormente se consolida por meio da conquista dos portugueses. Fazendo uso das trilhas ind?genas, os colonizadores adentraram os sert?es do vale e, criando uma rede de novos caminhos consolidaram os n?cleos de povoamento. No s?culo XVIII, o ciclo do ouro intensificou a migra??o e a urbaniza??o dessa ?rea, ao mesmo tempo em que houve uma preocupa??o da Coroa Portuguesa com a prote??o do territ?rio. As ordens eclesi?sticas, e principalmente os jesu?tas atuaram de forma decisiva nesse processo de conquista e dom?nio sendo que da rela??o entre Coroa e Igreja decorre a estrutura fundi?ria do Brasil no per?odo colonial.

Berlin, de 1961 à 1989, est une ville divisée, partagée par un mur de béton séparant l'Est, capitale de la République démocratique allemande, de l'Ouest, îlot isolé de la République fédérale d'Allemagne. Front de la Guerre froide, les caméras s'en sont emparées. Filmer Berlin, ce n’était pas seulement montrer un territoire urbain précis et délimité, c'était porter à l’écran un espace régi par un contexte historique, social et politique extrêmement prégnant traduisant de fortes spécificités. Deux systèmes de représentation de l’espace urbain ont coexisté dès 1945 nourris d’éléments propres à chaque partie de la ville et de formes esthétiques spécifiques. À partir du 13 août 1961, date de la construction du Mur, la réalité de la division de la ville s'acte dans le béton. Le cinéma s'en est fait le témoin. Ces images, celles de Soi, celles de l’Autre peuvent être envisagées comme des produits de deux sociétés avec leurs symbolismes propres, leurs codes socioculturels et leurs histoires parallèles. Elles sont à ce titre révélatrices de la manière dont a été montré Berlin. Ces deux imageries participent à la construction d’une identité urbaine plurielle, tendant parfois à revêtir un caractère protéiforme dont il importe de questionner les aspects. C’est aux expressions filmées de cette altérité, de cet espace urbain singulier, que cette thèse d'études cinématographiques s'attache. Au carrefour de plusieurs observatoires disciplinaires et avec une démarche géo-centrée, elle propose un essai de topographie cinématographique. / From 1961 to 1989, Berlin is a divided city, split by a concrete wall separating the eastern part, capital city of the German Democratic Republic, from the western one, isolated island of the German Federal Republic. Frontline of the Cold War, the cameras captured it.Filming Berlin was not only depicting a precise and bound urban territory, it was bringing to the screen a space ruled by a very significant historical, social and political context conveying strong specificities. Two systems of representation of the urban space coexisted as soon as 1945, fueled by each side of town’s own elements and specific aesthetic forms. From August 13th 1961, the day the Wall was built, the reality of the division of the city is made concrete-solid. Cinema was made the witness of this reality. These pictures, of the Self, of the Other, can be considered as products of both societies, with their own symbolisms, their sociocultural codes and parallel histories. As such, they are indicative of the way Berlin has been shown.Both imageries take part in the construction of a plural urban identity, that sometimes tends towards a shape-shifting hallmark, whose aspects it seems important to question. This PhD in cinematic studies endeavours to describe, analyse and interpret the filmed expressions of this alterity, this singular urban space. At the crossroad of several disciplinary fields and in a geo-centered approach, it offers an essay on cinematic topography.

Le quartier du Nikolaiviertel, situé au centre de Berlin, est considéré comme le lieu de naissance de la ville remontant au 13e siècle. Malgré son charme médiéval, le quartier fut construit dans les années 1980. Ce dernier a été conçu comme moyen d’enraciner l’identité est-allemande dans le passé afin de se démarquer culturellement de ces voisins à l’ouest, et ce, à une époque de détente et de rapprochement entre la République démocratique allemande (RDA) et la République fédérale d’Allemagne (RFA). Depuis la construction du quartier, Berlin a connu une transformation exceptionnelle; elle est passée de ville scindée à la capitale d’un des pays les plus puissants au monde. La question se pose : quelle est l’importance de Nikolaiviertel, ce projet identitaire est-allemand, dans le Berlin réunifié d’aujourd’hui ? Ce projet part de l’hypothèse que le quartier est beaucoup plus important que laisse croire sa réputation de simple site touristique kitsch. En étudiant les rôles que joue le Nikolaiviertel dans la ville d’aujourd’hui, cette recherche démontre que le quartier est un important lieu identitaire au centre de la ville puisqu’il représente simultanément une multiplicité d’identités indissociables à Berlin, c’est-à-dire une identité locale berlinoise, une identité nationale est-allemande et une identité supranationale européenne. / The Nikolaiviertel neighborhood in the heart of Berlin is considered the birthplace of the city going back to the 13th century. Despite its medieval charm, the quarter was only built in the 1980s. It was conceived as a means of rooting the East German identity in the past to differentiate itself culturally from its western neighbor during a time of détente and rapprochement between the German Democratic Republic (GDR) and the Federal Republic of Germany (FRG). Berlin has changed enormously since the construction of the Nikolaiviertel: the once-divided city is now the reunified capital of one of the most powerful nations in the world. So how important is the Nikolaiviertel today, a neighborhood built to strengthen East Germany’s identity? This study posits that the quarter is more important than its reputation as a simple kitsch tourist site suggests. By studying its roles in contemporary Berlin, this research shows that the Nikolaiviertel is significant for Berlin’s place identity by manifesting a multiplicity of identities intrinsic to Berlin, i.e. a local Berliner identity, a national East German identity and a supranational European identity. / Das Nikolaiviertel im Herzen Berlins gilt als Geburtsort der Stadt aus dem 13. Jahrhundert. Trotz seines mittelalterlichen Charmes wurde das Viertel 1987 fertiggestellt. Es nutzte die Vergangenheit als Mittel zur Verwurzelung der ostdeutschen Identität, um sich in einer Zeit der Entspannung zwischen der Deutschen Demokratischen Republik (DDR) und der Bundesrepublik Deutschland (BRD) kulturell von ihrem Nachbarn im Westen zu unterscheiden. Berlin hat sich seit dem Bau des Viertels viel verändert: Die einst geteilte Stadt ist nun die wiedervereinigte Hauptstadt einer der mächtigsten Nationen der Welt. So stellt sich die Frage: Wie wichtig ist das Nikolaiviertel, das als Übermittler einer neuen DDR-Identität konzipiert war, im heutigen Berlin? Diese Studie geht davon aus, dass das Viertel wichtiger ist, als sein Ruf als bloße kitschige Sehenswürdigkeit vermuten lässt. Durch die Untersuchung seiner Rolle im heutigen Berlin kommt diese Studie zu dem Schluss, dass das Nikolaiviertel für die Identität Berlins von Bedeutung ist, da es eine Vielzahl von inhärenten Identitäten aufweist: eine lokale Berliner Identität, eine nationale ostdeutsche Identität und eine supranationale europäische Identität.

The city of Isfahan, one of the most historic urban settlements in Iran, has undergone dramatic socio-spatial transformations during the recent decades, beginning with the modernization programs of the 1920s. While the urban structure of Isfahan was the outcome of a process over centuries of incremental evolution, a new mode of place making and street patterns was imposed on the historic fabric of the city within the space of only a few decades. From a design methodological perspective, this dissertation analyzes how the socio-spatial interactions have influenced the formation of Isfahan over the course of its history. In this respect, some of the crucial periods of Isfahan’s urban development history are discussed. It is argued how the contemporary urban renewal doctrines have affected the existing socio-spatial communications of the city along its transformation path. Therefore, the essence of this study is to illustrate the mutual relations between physical transformations and social communications through the city of Isfahan. However, this research has no intention to criticize the modernization of cities, since they are often unavoidable and necessary. But it targets the rigidity of urban design strategies as were implemented in the historic cities of Iran. In this thesis, the information-rich case of Isfahan is discussed through a descriptive analysis combined with the deployment of mixed method strategies. The ultimate goal is to develop alternative ideas which can support revitalization of cities with respect to their socio-spatial communications as well as their architectural heritage. / QC 20110128

The subject of this thesis is to record the every-day life, local and collective memory, and relationships of individuals - local inhabitants of the 'panel-housing' estate, Jižní Město, in Prague - towards the specific urban and social space in which they live. The thesis is based on interviews, with the long-term inhabitants of Jižní Město, which were structured to record their lived experience in the housing estate during two consecutive periods in recent Czechoslovak history - the so-called normalisation and post-socialism periods. The interviews were used as an empirical counterbalance to architectural/city planning discourse and Czech media, which has interpreted the legacy of 'panel-housing' estates in a negative way, as the socialist form of housing par excellence. The aim of this thesis is to analyse this discourse, which also reflects how Czech society deals with its communist past, and to compare it with the experiences, evaluations and current challenges in the lives of these long- term inhabitants, living in the biggest Czech 'panel-housing' estate with a bad reputation. Key words: panel-housing estates, Jižní Město, housing, local/collective memory, local/urban identity, everyday life, city, so-called normalisation.

Over the last two decades Bongo Fleva music has become a popular form of entertainment as well as a key cultural element among Tanzanian urban youth. The objective of this paper is to examine the role of pseudonyms in this musical genre in Tanzania. It focuses on how Bongo Fleva artists adopt their pseudonyms and discusses their role in identity formation among urban youths in contemporary Tanzania. The paper argues that pseudonyms in Bongo Fleva, as in various other fields, have an important role to play in portraying one’s identity, culture, characteristics, profile, actions, hope and imagination.
