Experimental study on reducing temperature using modular system for vegetation walls made of perlite concrete
Get PDFThe aim of this research is to examine and analyse the thermal characteristics of the facade modular element. The possibility of optimization of the facade coating with vegetation is examined experimentally in this research, with the aim of improving the thermal characteristics of the facade wall. This element is made of perlite concrete in which the greenery is implanted. The scope of the research is experimental and theoretical testing the possibility for optimizing the facade coating with vegetation. The energy specificities of modular vegetation elements and their contribution to the improvement of the thermal properties of the facade wall are analysed in the experimental part of the research, the elements of vegetation are treated as the elements which influence the decrease in surface temperature of the facade coating. The modular elements in this research are placed on a reference wall surface facing the South. The methodology presented in this paper is based on the study of climate characteristics in city of Belgrade, experimental measurements of test models, and comparative analysis with the reference wall. During the experiment, the data on the external climate parameters and the coefficient of heat transfer through the wall were continuously measured. Conducted measurements and analyses show the vegetation influence on the reduction in surface temperature of the outer wall and the heat passage through the facade coating. The experiment used a modular model and several plant species. It is noticeable that vegetative walls with green areas covered by plant shells play an important role in the harmonization of the parameters of the microclimate in relation to the local environment
Design of anti-tarnish sterling silver Ag-Cu-Zn alloy and investigation of silicon addition influence on mechanical and corrosion characteristics
Get PDFThis paper presents investigations of the influence of silicon addition on the mechanical and corrosion characteristics of the sterling silver Ag-Cu-Zn alloys. The procedure for obtaining Ag-Cu-Zn-Si alloys in small ranges of composition was also presented Vickers hardness tests and three electrochemical tests were performed on the samples in this study. Open circuit potential measurements, linear polarization resistance method, and potentiodynamic polarization tests were employed to determine corrosion characteristics of the alloys. The materials were tested in 0.9% Nacl solution, artificial sweat, 0.1 and 0.01 M sodium sulfide solutions. It was shown that addition of silicone increases hardness and generally improves sulfidation resistance and corrosion characteristics in near-neutral chloride solutions of the Ag-Cu-Zn alloys
Cultural tourism as a new driving force for a settlement revitalisation: the case of Golubac municipality in iron gates region, Serbia
Get PDFCultural tourism is internationally considered as a very efficient tool for the sustainable revitalisation of somnolent settlements and regions. However, successful cultural tourism needs two components: cultural and natural heritage as its nucleus and supportive environment, containing advanced services and infrastructure. Major task is usually how to develop the later component.
A perfect case study is Golubac Municipality in eastern Serbia. This municipality is located in the entrance part of Iron Gates / Đerdap, the most magnificent gorge of the Danube. Even though heritage is abundant and cultural tourism is not a novelty, it can be at much higher level and more encouraging for declining local community. This is probably the impact of the long-lasting isolation of Iron Gates region. Actually, this isolation have caused two opposite tendencies in last two centuries; from one side, isolation has preserved beautiful nature, local tradition and ambient; in the other side, it has prevented the modernisation of the region, causing socio-economic problems. Cultural tourism can play a new driving force to bridge these extremes. The number and influence of cultural tourists have already exponentially arisen in recent years. In peak seasons, tourism sector in Iron Gates is straggling to offer decent tourist product to them. Hence, the further development needs its diversification and sophistication.
The aim of this paper is related to the territorial aspect of the diversification and sophistication. It analyses the potentials and obstacles for spatial diversification of the settlements in Golubac Municipality for cultural tourism and according their inherited features. This is done through the comparison of these features and the different types of cultural tourism. The final insights are given as recommendations for the future spatial development of cultural tourism, including a planned spatial organisation of settlement network that will support the development of this prospective field
Raising citizen awareness through promoting benefits of small urban streams revitalization
No full textRevitalization of urban streams is becoming an increasingly prominent topic in Serbia mainly because of the apparent problems with the urban streams – floods, pollution, and neglect of surrounding areas. A number of projects advocating contemporary approach to revitalization of river beds, riparian areas and surrounding zones were proposed but were not entirely successful.
While the expert community is well aware of the problems regarding the urban streams, citizens know very little about it or about the opportunity to turn the streams once thought as a problem into attractive and valuable urban spaces. Therefore, in order to achieve broad citizen participation that is necessary to successfully implement projects of urban stream revitalization, the public needs to be educated and informed about the importance of the streams. Such projects can have many benefits for city life, not only ecological but also social and economic. Promoting the benefits is a good way to gain the interest of the public. However, exactly what benefits are brought to forefront depends on the project, context, local culture, and target groups.
This paper will explore how much are citizens of Belgrade informed about its urban streams. Are they aware of the role and potential benefits of the streams? We will discuss which of the benefits should be emphasized and promoted most in order to achieve the broadest participation of citizens in the projects concerning the revitalization of Belgrade’s urban streams
The Role of University in a Policy Making Process: Introducing Integrated Urban Projects for Effective Urban Governance in Serbia
Get PDFThis chapter suggests a new view on the arrangement of urban governance for Serbia,
where an Integrated Urban Project (IUP) is examined as an instrument for achieving
sustainable development. Policy-making in Serbia’s urban development is faced with the
challenge of transition from a traditional, bureaucratic, and autocratic system towards a
new, efficient, effective, communicative, and flexible one. The process of searching for new
instruments for its realisation was initiated due to the existing model’s inability to deal with
complex problems brought about by the post-socialist economic and social transition, as
well as global influences related to Serbia’s planned accession to the European Union (EU).
The first part of the chapter briefly outlines the concept of a new urban governance
model. The second section defines the characteristics of an IUP as an instrument intended
to create and implement sustainable public policies in the field of urban development.
The third part presents curricula of master’s theses and master’s projects for three
generations of students of the Integrated Urbanism master’s programme at the Faculty
of Architecture, University of Belgrade: (i) IUPs for Inner City Development, (ii) IUPs for
Disaster Risk Management, and (iii) IUPs for Municipal Development. Regardless of the
differences in topics and locations, the students’ assignments were to work with specific
local institutions to devise IUPs in response to identified problems of the ‘real’ context and
indicate how these might be put into practice. This section details the results achieved by
the latest generation of students: (i) the IUPs as urban governance instruments, focusing
on their integration potential; and (ii) the IUPs development process, showing the types
and techniques of communication and knowledge dissemination amongst students, as
well as between students and mentors, and with the local community and the broader
professional and academic public.
Besides aiming to contribute to a comprehensive innovation of the curriculum in the local
context of a post-socialist country, the purpose of this chapter is to point out the options
and opportunities for collaboration between academic institutions and local communities
in the introduction of new topics, ideas, concepts, and instruments for effective urban
governance in Serbia.Book series: Reviews of Sustainability and Resilience of the Built Environment for Education, Research and Desig
Principles of architectural heritage and their contemporary implementation
Get PDFОсновни циљ рада је препознавање начела градитељског предања и одговор на питање да ли се и како уочени принципи народног градитељства могу применити у савременом процесу пројектовања. Aнализом примера, изабраних на основу успостављених критеријума, из непрегледне ризнице народног градитељског стваралаштва на територији данашње Републике Србије, шире гледано Балканског полуострва, сагледана су и формулисана основна начела градитељског предања. Она показују како је народ градио у складу са поднебљем, особинама тла, климатским условима, биљним покривачем и својим потребама, својом духовном и културном традицијом.У раду су дефинисане оне универзалне карактеристике, принципи и модели који су примењиви и ван примарног контекста у коме су настали. Секундарни циљ истраживања је сагледавање могућности примене препознатих начела градитељског предања у савременој пракси урбанистичко-архитектонског пројектовања групација и појединачних објеката. У завршном делу рада, на конкретном примеру из праксе, дата је анализа могућности савремене примене традиционалних принципа грађењаОсновни метод примењен у овом истраживању је аналитички, а који у односу на анализиране поједине примере предачког градитељства добија и елементе описног, структуралног, историографског, компаративног и интуитивног. Применом наведених метода дошло се до података, не само из области народног начина грађења, већ и из области духовног стваралаштва, обреда, вере и предања, наслеђених обичаја и неписаних правила за живот и грађење куће и осталих објеката и уређаја око ње. Анализом структуре групација и појединачно објеката, узрочно последичним повезивањем градитељског одговора на животнеVIпотребе становника, под утицајем културних и духовних наслага и уплива, искристалисана су начела на основу познатих појмова и односа, сада сагледаних на другачији, али комплементарни начин него што то чини етнологија и заштита народног градитељства...The basic aim of this work is how to recognize the principles of architectural tradition and to analyze whether and how these principles of national folk building could be implemented within the modern process of design. The analysis of examples, chosen from the inexhaustible treasury of traditional folkways building creativity on the territory of the present Republic of Serbia (and the Balkan Peninsula in a larger sense), according to established criteria, has led to the understanding and elaboration of the basic principles of architectural tradition. They show how people have built and constructed in conformity with climatic conditions, soil characteristics, flora and according to their needs, their spiritual and cultural tradition.The universal characteristics, principles and models that are applicable even outside the primary context in which they had appeared have been defined in this work. The secondary aim of research has been to observe the possibilities of implementing the recognized principles of architectural tradition today in the modern practice of urban planning and architectural design of group and individual buildings. The final part of the work is devoted to the analysis of actual possibilities of implementation of traditional building practice in the practice of architects today.The basic method applied here is the analytical one. However, in relation to the analyzed individual examples of traditional (ancestral) architecture it has acquired certain descriptive, structural, historiographic, comparative and intuitive elements. The use of these methods resulted in obtaining data not only on the folkways type of building, but of spiritual creativity, rites, religion and tradition, inherited customs and unwritten rules on building houses and other structures around them too. The analysis of structures of groups and individual buildings, by connecting the builders response to existential needs of the population under the influence of cultural and spiritual layers and influences, has led to crystallization of principles based upon known notions and relations, now understood in a different, but complementary way, compared to the explanation given by ethnology and the protection of folkways building practice..
Shopping centre as a leisure space: case study of Belgrade
Get PDFShopping centres are increasingly becoming places for leisure. In order to attract more consumers and to lengthen shopper stay, various leisure components are being added to retail and shopping places. At the same time, under the influence of consumer culture, recreational shopping became one of the widespread leisure activities among different social categories.Contemporary research shows that nowadays youth leisure is also widely associated with shopping centres. Recreational shopping, attendance at various leisure venues and events, but also browsing around shopping centres is becoming more and more popular among young people. Although this phenomenon is well elaborated in the context of developed countries, the research on youth leisure in shopping centres in post-socialist context is at its infancy, especially considering its spatial aspects.Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to explore perception and recreational use of shopping centres by young people and to present a preliminary study exploring this phenomenon in six big inner-city shopping centers of Belgrade. By using the on-line questionnaire, it seeks to discover preferences of young people towards certain shopping centers, recreational opportunities, and recreational spaces, in order to identify factors that shape their choice and use of shopping centers for leisure
