Master of Regional and Community Planning / Landscape Architecture/Regional and Community Planning / Katherine Nesse / Few things dominate American culture like sport. Sports function as a universal language, as something that people identify with. The provision of stadiums in the United States represents some of the largest public investments found on a municipal level. Over the past 10 years soccer has become one of the most popular sports in the U.S. Consequently, the provision of soccer stadiums is becoming an important economic issue. The lack of research regarding the economic impact of soccer stadiums and the techniques in which city planners can address the economic performance of soccer stadiums will be addressed in this study. The study employs a multiple regression analysis to understand the relationship between economically successful sports stadium characteristics and the economic impact of soccer stadiums. The multiple regression analysis considers each of the 16 Major League Soccer stadiums in the U.S. and discovers the relationship between the economic impacts of each stadium and the presence of successful sports stadium characteristics at those stadiums. The regression analysis resulted in a conditional estimate of the impact of successful sports stadium characteristics on the economic impact of soccer stadiums. No significance can be drawn between the economic impact of soccer stadiums and successful sports stadium characteristics. Although successful sports stadium characteristics have little impact on economic performance, planners should still encourage the use of successful characteristics in stadiums. Planners have the skill set to plan for stadiums that benefit the public economically, socially, psychologically, and environmentally. Planners must continue to find ways to ensure that soccer stadiums have a positive impact on the cities that build them.

This diploma thesis deals with design load bearing steel structure of the sport stadium roofing with 82,8 m length and 29,0 m width. Roofing structure is designed and examined in two versions. Variant A is designed like tubular truss girder with axis distance 4,6 m. Variant B is designed like welded solid-web girder with same axis distance. These versions are compared by weight, manufacturing complexity and appearance, prefeable version is processed in detail. Drawings contain layout of both versions and manufacturing drawings of truss.

Funktionsintegrering är ett planeringsideal som förespråkas i dagens stadsplanering. Funktionsintegreringen kom som en motreaktion till funktionalismens funktionsseparering. Viljan att blanda olika verksamheter och funktionsintegrera kommer från en vilja att skapa en hållbar stad med närhet och ett flöde av människor bland annat skapar trygghet. Trots detta finns det fördelar med funktionsseparering för exempelvis störande verksamheter. Idrottsverksamheter har specifika svårigheter som att de upptar stora ytor, skapar stora flöden av människor och har störande faktorer som buller. Därför analyserar denna uppsats möjligheten att planera för funktionsintegrering i ett tidigare renodlat idrottsområde genom en fallstudie av Gavlehov i Gävle. Gavlehov har sedan 1960-talet varit ett renodlat idrottsområde som sedan början av nollnolltalet har planerats för funktionsintegrering. Studien baseras på besök på platsen, en dokument- och textstudie, enkäter i området samt en intervju av stadsplanerare Petter Jonegård från Gävle kommuns stadsplaneringskontor. Resultatet tyder på att det finns möjligheter att integrera funktioner i ett tidigare renodlat idrottsområde men att det kräver kommunikation, planering och hänsyn till svårigheterna med idrottsverksamheter. Det kan trots möjligheterna att integrera nya funktioner vara svårt att få med sig tjänstemän, politiker och befolkningen. Det kan även ske mycket under tiden som området planeras och byggs som gör att området inte blir som det först var planerat samt det är svårt att skapa funktionsintegrering vid nybyggnation / Mixed use cities are an ideal within city planning today. Mixed used cities came as a counter- reaction to the separation of functions during the functionalist planning era. Mixed used cities are preferred today because of how it creates sustainability through closeness and security. There are however advantages with functionalism when it comes to disruptive or hindering functions. Sports activities have specific difficulties such as demanding large areas, creating large flows of people and have disruptive factors such as noise. Therefore, this essay will analyse the possibility of creating a mixed used city out of an area with former predominantly sports arenas through a case study of Gavlehov in Gävle. Gavlehov has been an area with predominantly sport arenas since the sixties but is being transformed into a mixed used city. The study is based on with an interview of city planner Petter Jonegård from the city planning office in Gävle municipality, questionnaire in the area and document and text studies. The results indicate that it is possible to integrate functions into an area with predominantly sport arenas, but it takes communication, planning and taking the difficulties with sport stadiums into consideration. Despite this it can be difficult to persuade planning officials, politicians and the public to integrate new functions. It can also happen things during planning and building the area that change the outcome of the area and it can be hard to create a mixed use city when building a new area

俗稱「大巨蛋」的臺北文化體育園區，自1990年代起出現於媒體報導中，市府於2000年定案落址松山菸廠，並在2006年與遠雄簽約以BOT興建大巨蛋。2014年11月市長選舉，柯文哲以無黨籍的身份踏入政壇，打破國民黨十六年的臺北市政府執政，上任後開始清查包括大巨蛋等「五大案」。不同政權對於大巨蛋的論述有不同策略，本研究透過都市政治的概念，剖析國民黨市府時代與柯文哲市府時代兩個政權，如何透過傳統媒體以及社群媒體形塑各自的大巨蛋形象。根據Stone（1993）以美國都市政權分析所提出的四種類型為基礎，本研究者聚焦在兩個政權的主要治理任務、選擇性誘因、所需資源等之論述。透過對於新聞報導、社群媒體貼文、官方新聞稿與官方網站的質化論述分析與量化內容分析，探討國民黨市府與柯文哲市府之都市治理聯盟的論述特徵與差異。 　　研究結果發現，國民黨市府治理聯盟偏向發展型政權，其論述特徵圍繞著體育發展為核心，包括將大巨蛋與國際大型運動賽事與國力象徵等概念連結，政治與商業合作開發，以及多功能用途場館來召喚市民支持。柯文哲市府治理聯盟的論述則偏向中產階級進步型、也具備臺灣在地特色的「程序主義型政權」，其論述圍繞著程序的重要性，強調都市計劃中法律程序及透明的重要性。兩者相較，國民黨市府論述著力於國家與體育發展，與資本關係較為緊密，柯文哲市府論述則連結中產階級價值以及市政的公民參與。但兩者皆忽略社會中環境保護的聲音，以及大型運動場館帶給城市的潛在負擔。本研究試圖在兩股政治勢力消長的動態演變中，分析此一期間都市政權對大巨蛋開發案的媒體論述轉變，藉由大型運動場館的再現建構，來反映出臺北的都市政治的意識形態爭霸過程，並重新反思大型運動場館建設之於城市與公民的意義。 / The project of Taipei Dome Complex (known as ‘’Taipei Dome’’) has been revealed in the media since 1990s. It settled in Song Shan Tobacco Factory in 2000 and later signed with a BOT (Build–operate–transfer) contract between Taipei City Government and Farglory Group. In November 2014, the mayor-elect Wen-je Ko, a non-party politician, ended 16 years of KMT rule in Taipei and committed to investigate so-called "Five Scandals”—the Taipei Dome, the Taipei Twin Tower, the Song Shan Cultural and Creative Park, the Syntrend Digital Park, and MeHas City. As the discursive strategies in the issue of Taipei Dome were different among regimes, this study is aimed to understand the use of mass media and social media in construting particular images of this large-scale sport stadium in the constructing process by Taipei City Government under different mayors. This study focues on the main governance tasks—the selective incentives, the resources needed as the analysis structure of the two regimes—which based on the analysis about four types of America urban politics in Stone (1993). Through qualitative discourse analysis and quantitative content analysis on various sources—including news reports, posts in social media, documents on official websites—this study study explores the differences of discursive strategies and struggles between the KMT and the Ko municipal governments. 　　The research results show the differences between the two regimes. The KMT government favored the ideology of “development regimes” to mobilize the supports from citizens, which usually linked the Taipei Dome with the concepts about the development of sports, such as the importance of large-scale international sporting events, the symbolic national power, the close cooporation between government and business, and the multifunctions of the Dome. Compared with the precedent regime, the Ko government has been inclined to the ideology of “middle class progressive regimes,” while also demonstrated a certain degree of “procedualism” under the particular political and economic contexts in Taiwan. The discursive strategy of Ko government emphasizes the importance of legal procedure and transparacy in the urban plan and policy. In sum, the KMT government had a strong connection with corporations and highlighted the significance of national and sporting development, while the Ko government has shown a connection with the middle class and attempted to involve civic participation in the process of policy making. However, both city governments ignored the voice of environmental movement and the potential harm of large-scale sport stadium to the society. This study attempts to analyze the changes of discursive struggle of Taipei Dome in the media represeantions between the two regimes and therefore contribute to understand the influences of large-scale sport stadium on the urban development and citizens.

Object of this master thesis is the static verification and variant desing of roof structure of winter sport stadium in Jihlava city. The ground plan dimensions are 60 x 84 m The current structure is composite of truss main girders with parabolic lower chords, and purlins. Axial distances of main girders are 12m. Concrete columns are a support to main girders. The variant desing of roof uses truss girders and truss purlins. They are supported on existing concrete columns. All load bearing members of existing and new design structure have been evaluated according to actual normative rules. The static assessment of the existing structure is not satisfied from viewpoint of ultimate and serviceability limit states (in some elements). The static assessment of the new structure is satisfied from the viewpoint of both limit states.

The aim of the thesis is the assessment of steel structure roofing winter stadium in Jihlava city and design of the variant solution of load bearing steel structure of the roof. The ground plan dimensions are 60 x 84 m The current structure is composite of truss main girders with parabolic lower chords, and purlins . Axial distances of main girders are 12 m and are supported on concrete columns. The alternative proposed solution uses arched truss main girders and truss purlins. They are supported on existing concrete columns. All load bearing members of existing and new design structure – main girders, purlins, roof bracing - have been evaluated according to actual normative rules. It is evident that the static assessment of the existing structure is satisfied from viewpoint of ultimate and serviceability limit states. The static assessment of the new structure is satisfied from the viewpoint of both limit states.
