    Tämä diplomityö käsittelee ajankohtaista ja maailmanlaajuista ilmiötä, kaupunkirakentamisen uudistamista, jonka myötä kaupunkien rannoista on syntynyt uusien virkistysalueiden paikkoja. Tarkastelen tätä ilmiötä esimerkkikohteiden avulla ja selvitän miten veden äärelle pääsemistä on edistetty kaupungeissa. Lopuksi esitän kaupunkitilojen kehittämissuunnitelman Tampereen ydinkeskustassa sijaitsevalle Ratinan suvannon ranta-alueelle. Tampereen kaupunki on tilannut diplomityön alueen jatkosuunnittelun tueksi. Työn lähtöasetelma on ajankohtainen ja kiinnostava. Suunnittelualue sijoittuu Tammerkosken alajuoksulle, Ratinan suvannon ympäristöön. Se mielletään nykyisellään uinuvaksi alueeksi, joka on jäänyt historiallisesti arvokkaiden kosken puistonauhojen ja tehdasalueiden varjoon. Pyhäjärven rantaan, suunnittelualueen eteläpuolelle, on kehittymässä merkittävä uusi asuinalue. Sen lisäksi Ratinan stadionin yhteyteen on rakentumassa suuri kauppakeskus. Suunnittelualue jää tämän historiallisen keskustan ja arvokkaan koskenvarren sekä uuden Pyhäjärven rantaan muodostuvan alueen väliin. Alueen rooli on kokemassa muutoksen, joka kohdistaa suunnittelualueelle uusia käyttövaatimuksia. Haasteeksi nousee näiden uusien ja vanhojen kaupunkirakenteellisten kokonaisuuksien käsittely ja niiden yhteen nivominen suunnittelualueella. Tilaajana Tampereen kaupunki toivoi tutkittavan erityisesti kahta asiaa. Ensinnäkin sitä, kuinka suunnittelualueella pääsisi jatkossa paremmin veden äärelle. Nykyiset korkeat rantamuurit aitoineen eivät muodosta rannan äärelle oleskelualueita. Toiseksi sitä, miten suvannon alueesta saataisiin kehitettyä kokonaisvaltainen, imagoltaan korkealaatuinen ja laadukas virkistysalue, joka liittyisi muuhun arvokkaaseen koskiympäristöön ja sen virkistysreitteihin. Työ koostuu viidestä osiosta. Ensimmäisessä asetan työlleni lähtökohdat ja kerron tarkemmin sen ympäristössä tapahtuvista ajankohtaisista hankkeista. Toisessa tutkin aluksi kaupunkien kehityshistoriaa sekä veden ja rantojen roolia kaupungissa. Sen jälkeen pohdin kaupunkirakentamisen uudistamista maailmanlaajuisena ilmiönä. Esittelen esimerkkejä kaupunkirantojen uudistamisesta viidessä eurooppalaisessa kaupungissa. Lisäksi pohdin, miksi veden äärelle pääsystä on muodostunut maailmanlaajuinen pyrkimys, jota edistetään monenlaisin tavoin. Kolmannessa luvussa analysoin alueen nykytilan ja erittelen sen mahdollisuuksia. Analyysien pohjalta esittelen alueelle kehittämisvision, jolla aktivoidaan suvannon ympäristö ranta-alueineen. Lopuksi esitän suunnittelualueelle yleissuunnitelman, jota tarkennan osa-aluesuunnitelmin Laukontorin, Ratinan rantapuiston ja Ratinan stadionin rannan osalta. Suunnitelmissa on pyritty ratkaisemaan analyysien osoittamia epäkohtia ja puutteita, sekä luomaan suunnittelualueelle visiota tukevia omaleimaisia kaupunkitiloja.This thesis studies a topical and global phenomenon, renewal of city planning, whereby waterfronts of cities have become places of new recreational areas. The phenomenon is studied by analyzing similar projects. An urban development plan for the surroundings of Ratina stream pool is presented in the end. This thesis was ordered by the city of Tampere to support the further development of their urban plans. The thesis development plan area is situated near Tammerkoski’s downstream, around the area of the Ratina stream pool. The area has been neglected due to the surrounding historically more valuable stream parks and industrial areas. The current topic makes the thesis position very fascinating. A significant new urban housing is being developed on the shore of lake Pyhäjärvi on the south side of the development plan area. In addition a large commercial center is built detached to Ratina stadium. The development plan area is surrounded by historical center, valuable riverside and new urban area by lake Pyhäjärvi. The entire area is going through a transformation, which poses new demands on the planning area. The challenge is the treatment and combining these new and old city structural entities on the planning area. As the client the city of Tampere desired that especially two things should be examined. Firstly, how to enhance the proximity of water. With the existing high riverside wall with fences there is no recreational spaces near the shore. Secondly, how the stream pool could be developed into an entire high quality recreational environment, which connects to the other valuable riverside environment with its pathways. The thesis is made up of five sections. The first section is about the positioning the thesis and describing in more detail about the surrounding development actions. The second section is about the history of urban city planning and the role of rivers and shore sides in the cities. The section includes urban development renewal as a global phenomenon. This will be introduced through elaborating city shore side renewal projects in five different European cities. In addition the global motivation to increase the proximity of water in urban areas is examined more. The third section analyses the current condition of the area and introduces possibilities. These analyses form the basis of a development vision. The thesis also includes a general urban plan to the designated development area. The urban general plan is elaborated with partial plans for Laukontori, Ratina waterfront park and Ratina stadium shore. The plan aims to solve the problems arisen from the analysis and simultaneously creating an unique urban recreational environment

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

    Variations on the Author

    “Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship

    Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis

    Get PDF
    We provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    Get PDF
    We conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more sophisticated methods

    We have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
