Detourism: From cultural tourism to creative tourism, towards integrated and community-based tourism system in Budapest
No full textIn recent years, lots of papers are fast reacting to overtourism, making it open for discussion and finding the solutions. Specifically, in the European context, cultural tourism is the fastest-growing sector in the tourism industry, which is the leading cause of overtourism. Furthermore, globalization makes cultural tourism gradually become mass tourism, result in even worst situations. There is a global trend indicates that the urgent need for change from cultural tourism to creative tourism, to achieve a better-integrated tourism system within a city. The project aims to choose one of the historical tourist cities in Europe as the experimental site for researching and solving overtourism problems by the development of creative tourism. Hungary’s capital city-Budapest is the only international city within the country, almost 75% of the country’s tourism revenue is generated here by the development of cultural tourism which can be reflected on its highly centralize cultural facilities and accommodation within the inner city, resulting in the concentration of the tourist bubbles. The project explores how to implement transitional zone(brownfield) as the place to develop creative tourism as the strategy to affect the tourist movement patterns, in order to reduce the pressure of tourist bubbles concentrating in the inner city. Eventually, the development of creative tourism in the transitional zone can relieve the pressure on the historic inner city of Budapest while regenerating the brownfield within the city, increasing both the quality of life in the historic inner city and the neighborhood in the transitional zone, leading to socio-economic growth for the city.Architecture, Urbanism and Building Science
Resilient me for tomorrow: Towards socio-resilient regeneration of urban village in Guangzhou
No full textThis project is an attempt to search for an alternative regeneration approach of urban villages under the huge redevelopment pressure in Guangzhou. The past lessons we learned from the monotonous urban paradigm of housing commodities, has shown the emerging gaps between rich and poor, between traditional and modern, between migrants and citizens. It is more than a long-term fight with our government or real estate developers, but a chance for those migrants to become "urbanised" one day. In order to re-recognise the socio-spatial role of urban villages, the theory of socio-resilience is used as a new perspective to comprehend and analyse VICs in Guangzhou into multilevel scopes. Eventually, the regeneration of such unique settlements should be a good springboard for the ultimate urbanisation, as well as the transition of people
An Incremental Tamansari: A proposal for a new kampung development system in Bandung, Indonesia
No full textThe report will review the co-relation between rapid urbanization in Bandung with the city’s health issues in the informal areas of Bandung. Rapid urbanization is becoming a worldwide phenomena that leads to the realization of informal neighborhoods. Informal urbanization is a phenomena that will only keep on growing in the upcoming years. By 2030, it is expected that almost one in seven people will be living in an informal settlement, better known as a slum.These informal settlements are characterized by overcrowding, poor-quality housing, lack of basic infrastructure and poverty. The informal ‘Kampung’- neighborhoods in Bandung are lacking basic hygiene because of overcrowding and insuf cient infrastructure. Because of the rapid growth, the pressure of the city will heavily increase in the near future, which will worsen the unhealthy environments most of the new migrants will have to live in.After understanding the informal urbanization, the paper will focus on the current health issues, as a result of rapid urbanization, in the kampung of Tamansari. By doing this the research seeks to answer the question:How can we re-interpret the old ‘Healthy City’ identity of the 1920’s, in order to improve the public health, and therefore the livability, whilst meeting the densi cation requirements of kampung Tamansari in Bandung?This report will gradually work towards a new design proposal for a improved healthy, livable, green, sustainable, affordable and feasible development model for the slum-neighborhoods of Indonesia. The design itself has been conducted on the location of kampung Tamansari.This report will inform urban planners and other practitioners on the growing challenges and threats of the Kampung-neighborhoods, and give an alternative development model for Indonesia’s slum neighborhoods
Onderwijs in Bedrijf: De verkenning naar een nieuwe typologie voor het beroepsonderwijs in Charlois
No full textOnderwijs in Bedrijf is een ruimtelijk onderzoek naar een nieuwe architectonische typologie voor het beroepsonderwijs in Rotterdam Zuid. Kansen worden gezien in de ruimtelijke integratie van het onderwijs en het bedrijfsleven. Het model van de hybride leeromgeving bied de mogelijkheid om het leerproces ruimtelijke te integreren met bedrijven. In het ontwerp is het belangrijk om diverse ruimtes te creëren waar werk- en leersituaties kunnen plaatsvinden. Zowel realistische als geconstrueerde leerprocessen kunnen op deze manier plaatsvinden. De overgangen tussen de bedrijven en de onderwijs functies spelen een grote rol in het ontwerp. Daarnaast is er extra aandacht besteed aan de aansluiting met de wijk in het architectonisch ontwerp. Dit alles om een inspirerende leer- en werk omgeving te creëren voor jongeren in Charlois
Preteen use and perception of public space in Utrecht in 1996, 2016 and into the future: Regenerating urban social structures by building on child-friendly spatial characteristics
No full textThis thesis explores the possible effects of spatial characteristics on the use andperception public space by pre-teen children. The aim of this thesis was to identify spatial patterns that can be used to create urban public spaces which enhance the ability of children to make (diverse) friends, to explore different urban landscapes, interact with different types of people and situation, and to participate in social life and democratic processes. A short investigation of the general history of children in communal spaces is presented to contextualize the situation of urban children today. This is followed by an evaluation of recurring themes in scientific literature, which shows the diversity of definitions and approaches which are applied today. In order to find possible spatial effects,empirical research was conducted in two neighbourhoods - one urban and one sub-urbanof Utrecht, the Netherlands. A novel mapping method was used. Self-reported neighbourhood maps were drawn by children around the age of 10 during mapping workshops at four primary schools in Utrecht. The validity of the maps was evaluated by comparing them to on-site observations. Statistical analysis indicates that the effects of certain spatial characteristics near a residence are stronger than non-spatial factors such as going to school independently, living in an area where children make up over 20% of the population, of having one or more siblings. Especially the presence of courtyards or large parks is shown to benefit the social life of children in public space. Children who live near a courtyard have one to two neighbourhood more than average, while children who live near a large park have twice the spatial reach as the average child. The results of this thesis may be of interest to municipalities, urban planners and parents in general.Architecture, Urbanism and Building Science

Living with the waste: Creating a better life image by constructing decentralized waste management in Kampung Kranggan, Semarang
No full textWaste has always been with humans, and its amount will increase drastically, along with rapid urbanization and globalization. Improperly treated waste causes problems such as water pollution and disease, impedes living quality. Developing countries suffer more because of their hysteretic economic and social development. Landfill, as the predominant waste dealing measure, struggles to handle the current situation due to the gap between the waste amount and the land it requires. How to establish decentralized waste management should be examined to adapt to the inevitable future of living with waste. Semarang is the fifth big city in Indonesia, also the capital of Central Java Province. Its unplanned city expansion since the last century fails to equip the city with effective waste infrastructure and leaves no space for people and nature to interwave. Consequently, it creates an unhygienic and unattractive environment and undermines the living quality. This project looks at Kampung Kranggan as the test site in the light of its commercial importance, strategic location, and rich culture. The design explores how waste flows can be integrated into daily life activities and empower the locals in building their living environment. Landscape interventions help to contribute to a healthy environment and, more importantly, create social and economic impacts, meanwhile become the starting point of mindset and behavior change about waste.Shared Heritage Lab SemarangArchitecture, Urbanism and Building Sciences | Landscape Architectur

A Moveable Feast in Semarang: Designing an Urban Vending Network by Creating Conditions and Opportunities in Order to Facilitate and Manage Street Vending Activities
No full textSemarang is one of the biggest cities in Indonesia under the process of urbanisation, which threatens the underdeveloped capacity of the city. Street vendors booming is an evident phenomenon of urbanisation, it is a new way of urban living to survive in the urban capitalist growth circumstances. Being the majority of the informal sector, street vendors are highly resilient but they also bring environmental impacts to the city and other urban dwellers. The thesis is a process of design by research, research by design to explore urban landscape intervention that facilitate and manage street vendors with an incentive building approach for an inclusive future development.The thesis is under the Shared Heritage Lab which explores the shared history between The Netherlands and Indonesia in terms of cultural and architectural heritage. It is also a cross disciplinary research between heritage architecture, architectural engineering, landscape architecture and urbanism, collaborated with Institut Teknologi Bandung (ITB) and Rijksdienst voor het Cultureel Ergoed (RCE) of the Dutch municipality.Shared Heritage Lab SemarangArchitecture, Urbanism and Building Sciences | Landscape Architectur
Sustainable Housing, Sustainable Living: Duurzaam wonen, duurzaam leven
No full textSustainable building tends to be motivated by worldwide developments such as global warming or the impending transition in the energy market. The sustainable house, in turn, is all about closing loops, with an emphasis on energy, materials and water, and resulting in a house with a small ecological footprint. While this is undoubtedly good news for future generations and people elsewhere, what does it mean for the residents of today? Is there a relationship between sustainable building and sustainable living? And is sustainable building the reserve of certain lifestyles?
The relationship between building and living is a sensitive one. We expect the construction of sustainable homes to produce sustainable behaviour in residents, but without a proper understanding of the problems and without effective strategies for changing people’s behaviour, sustainable technology is in and of itself meaningless to residents who do not already have sustainable development in their sights.1 What does a resident do with the money saved by his energy-neutral house? Book an extra holiday flight? With a bit of luck, a sustainable house can lead to sustainable living, but more often than not it does not; in fact, in the worst case scenario it has the opposite effect. So perhaps it is a good idea to start at the other end and ask: Who are sufficiently interested in sustainable housing and living to move on to sustainable building? Who are these people and how do they live?Duurzaam bouwen wordt meestal ingegeven door mondiale ontwikkelingen, zoals de opwarming van de aarde of de komende transitie in de energiemarkt. Bij de duurzame woning ligt de nadruk vervolgens op het sluiten van kringlopen en gaat het dus vooral over energie, materiaal en water, met als resultaat een woning met een kleine ecologische voetafdruk. Mooi voor volgende generaties en mensen elders, maar wat betekent dit voor de bewoners van vandaag? Is er een relatie tussen duurzaam bouwen en duurzaam wonen? Is duurzaam bouwen soms weggelegd voor bepaalde leefstijlen?
De relatie tussen bouwen en wonen ligt gevoelig. We verwachten dat het bouwen van duurzame woningen ook leidt tot duurzaam gedrag van bewoners, maar zonder besef van de problematiek en zonder effectieve strategieën voor gedragsverandering kan een duurzame techniek van zichzelf weinig teweeg brengen bij bewoners die een duurzame ontwikkeling niet op het netvlies hebben.1 Wat doet een bewoner met het geld dat hij bespaart op de energierekening dankzij de energie-neutrale woning? Een extra vliegvakantie boeken? Als het meezit, kan een duurzame woning aanleiding geven tot duurzaam wonen, maar vaker niet dan wel is die invloed er niet en in het ergste geval werkt het zelfs averechts. Om die reden is het goed om aan de andere kant te beginnen: voor wie is duurzaam wonen en leven een aanleiding om duurzaam te bouwen? Wie doet dat eigenlijk en hoe wonen zij
