  • Tweeting in Open Public Space : Case Study Belgrade
    PART III REFLECTING ON THE RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN PEOPLE, SPACES AND TECHNOLOGY 190 Tweeting in Open Public Space Case Study Belgrade Aleksandra Djukic Milena Vukmirovic Jugoslav Jokovi Nikola Dinkicć Abstract – Public spaces represent essential elements of vibrant, inclusive, and smart cities. Being attractive, safe, comfortable, active and sociable, open public spaces play the main role in revitalizing communities, supporting their sense of identity and culture and triggering their economic development. Considering the current trends and demands in design and use of open public spaces, the role of ICT becomes more important. This paper will present and analyze the connections which are established and intensified between users and open spaces via online social networks. The emphasis will be on Twitter which currently has around 300 million active users. The case study is a network of several open public spaces placed in the historical urban core of Belgrade. The analyzed network presents one of the most attractive and important urban route for pedestrians with the squares as nodes. The method that was used in analysis is the method of mapping users on the social maps (via social networks) and through the 191 other ICT tools. It was based on a new software application – Twitter search engine – developed at the University of Nis, Faculty of Electronic engineering, during the PhD course “Advanced topics in data and knowledge engineering”. The aim was measuring the concentrations of users in open public spaces. The obtained results have enabled the determination of the image of the open public spaces perceived by the users, as well as the intensity of users and tweets through the social networks, with the aim to measure the quality of open public spaces and concentration of users.

  • Reise Nach Bosnien Und Herzegowina
    Reise nach Bosnien und Herzegowina Das herzförmige Land inmitten der Balkanhalbinsel ist ein für Westeuropäer größtenteils noch unentdecktes Fleckchen Erde. Fast gänzlich unbekannt sind die herrlichen, wilden Landschaften, die von Flüssen durchzogen sind. Nicht ohne Grund hat das Land Bosnien seinen Namen aus dem indoeuropäischen Wort "bosana", was so viel wie "Wasser" bedeutet. Die "alte Brücke" sowie die Altstadt von Mostar selbst gehören zum UNESCO-Weltkulturerbe, die pittoresken Gässchen derLandeshauptstadt Sarajevo mit ihren Antiquitäten, Teppichen und Kupfergeschirr laden zum Bummeln oder zum Entspannen bei einem echten bosnischen Kaffee ein. Erleben Sie Balkan pur auf dieser unvergesslichen Reise! Nach der Ankunft in Sarajevo erkundet die Reisegruppe Bosniens Hauptstadt, aufgrund ihrer konfessionellen Vielfalt auf engstem Raum auch "Jerusalem des Balkans" genannt. Die Gazi- Husrev-Beg-Moschee in der Altstadt ist von der Kathedrale der orthodoxen Christen sowie von der Kirche der Katholiken nur wenige Schritte entfernt. Vervollständigt wird das Bild durch eine jüdische Synagoge. Der Bašcaršija-Platz ist das Herz der türkischen Altstadt Sarajevos, von wo aus sich viele kleine Gässchen mit Handwerksläden, Souvenirläden und einigen der besten Ćevabdžinicas (Restaurants für Ćevapčići) der Stadt, schlängeln. Zum Kennenlernen der Stadt und ihre Geschichte wird das berühmte Rathaus am Ufer der Miljacka, die wiederaufgebaute VIJECNICA, die am 28.06.2014 festlich mit einem Konzert der Wiener Philharmoniker eingeweiht wurde, besucht. Nach der Besichtigung des Rathauses ist ein Besuch der Bosna Quelle geplant. Die Bosna ist ein Fluss in Bosnien und Herzegowina und hat der historischen Region Bosnien ihren Namen gegeben. Die Bosnaquellen (Vrelo Bosne) nahe dem Thermalbad Ilidža sind eine bekannte Attraktion, da hier ein relativ großer Fluss direkt aus dem Berg und nicht durch die Vereinigung kleinerer Bäche entspringt.

  • 7Th ROWHOUSE on SENJAK in BELGRADE
    th 7 INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE Contemporary achievements in civil engineering 23-24. April 2019. Subotica, SERBIA ROWHOUSE ON SENJAK IN BELGRADE: RECONSTRUCTION CASE STUDY Danilo S. Furundžić 1 Božidar S. Furundžić 2 UDK: 69.059.25 DOI: 10.14415/konferencijaGFS2019.084 Summary: This paper presents a case study of reconstruction and interior design of the rowhouse located in Temišvarska Street No. 27a, оn Senjak in Belgrade. The rowhouse (with basement, ground floor, first floor and attic) is reconstructed and new interior space (190 m2) is created. Ground floor is one-room space, children's room is on the first floor, and parents’ bedroom is in the attic. The reconstructed interior represents functional unit, which satisfies all family needs. Keywords: rowhouse, reconstruction, interior, case study, Belgrade 1. INTRODUCTION Each house project is different. An architect has to create appropriate environment that matches site and functions. Therefore, the architect has to study all aspects, evaluates pro et contra arguments and generate functional and agreeable project. In countries of Eastern Europe, a political change has also caused urban changes. Interior space reconstruction has become available to wealthier owners. Different rowhouse types are described in foreign books, journals, and magazines. In Belgrade there are districts with row houses (e.g. Dedinje, Senjak, Šumice, Cerak, Višnjicka banja, Bežanijska kosa). Examples of rowhouse interior reconstruction in Belgrade, however, are rare in domestic literature and that gave a stimulus to following writing. This paper presents the case study of reconstruction and interior design of the rowhouse in Temišvarska Street No. 27a. The solution of the client’s demands is, after several attempts, created on basis of a study of rowhouse function, volume, shape, and cost.
