  • Dmytro Zaiets
    Contemporary public art in the city space of Kharkiv1 Dmytro Zaiets, Department of Theoretical Sociology, Kharkiv National University; and Center for Social Studies, Institute of Sociology and Philosophy of the Polish Academy of Sciences Reflecting on the space of the city and its visual content with different kinds of art, I make no claim to originality. Art has always served an aesthetic, memorial and ideological function in the politics of urban planning, from сave drawings, through the medieval cathedral to the posters of Soviet socialist realist art. But the second half of the 20th century was distinguished, among other innovations, by the inclusion of art in the process of structuration of the urban environment, the set of visual patterns with the intent to “switch” the mode of “seeing” the city through a new formula for urban art, namely public art. This specific approach to contemporary art arose as both a consequence and a “mediator” of civil engagement in the public sphere of Western European and American cities in the 1960s. As such, public art tries through creative means to change the visual models through which the city is perceived. Therefore, public art is not only art, but also incorporates specific socio-cultural practices including the ontology and methods of visual anthropology and ethnography, semiotics, media theory, and other approaches that are not typically applied to the field of art criticism. Works of public art are reminiscent of a social experiment that simulates the sensation of displacement and confusion by creating innuendo and then challenges conventional codes and stereotypes, familiar relationships and social attitudes.

  • GMT Report2012.Qxp
    GLOBAL METRO PROJECTS REPORT 2012 Metropolitan railways (metros) are high capacity electric transport systems that operate on dedicated routes, and can thereby achieve high service speed and frequency. Over the last few years, metros (also known as subway, underground or tube) have evolved as an efficient and effective urban mobility solution in addressing the growing concerns of urbanisation and climate change. This is supported by the fact that despite high capital requirements the sector witnessed a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.7 per cent between 2005 and 2010. In high density urban areas, metros form the backbone of integrated public transport systems and offer proven economic, social and environmental benefits. Given the huge investment requirement and long life span, metro systems have always been a driving force for technological and financial innovations. Government and metro operators are constantly seeking solutions to improve reliability and customer service, lower fuel and maintenance costs, as well as increase efficiency and safety levels in operations. The Global Metro Projects Report provides updated information on the world's top 101 metro projects that present significant capital investment opportunities. These projects have a total existing network length of about 8,900 km and a proposed length of over 8,000 km. The report covers 51 countries representing about 80 per cent of the world’s gross domestic product. It presents the key information required to assess investment opportunities in the development of new lines, extension and upgrade of existing lines, rolling stock procurement and refurbishment, power and communication systems upgrades, fare collection, as well as station construction and refurbishment.

  • On the Assessment of the Escalator Capacity in Metro Stations
    U.P.B. Sci. Bull., Series D, Vol. 77, Iss. 4, 2015 ISSN 1454-2358 ON THE ASSESSMENT OF THE ESCALATOR CAPACITY IN METRO STATIONS. BUCHAREST METRO CASE STUDY Dorinela COSTESCU1, Ana-Maria CIOBÎCĂ2, Ionuţ-Sorin MITROI3 This paper presents some aspects related to the capacity assessment of design elements for metro stations, and focuses on the evaluation of escalator capacity, as long as it is considered both a restrictive element of total transfer capacity, and a qualitative element of the provided transport service. The paper takes into consideration a practical method for the estimation of the escalator capacity, which is mainly based on the user behaviour in occupancy of the escalator space. We use then this method to verify the provided capacity escalators in two main stations of the Bucharest metro and we reveal some needed actions in metro station design. Keywords: public transportation; escalator in metro terminal; transfer capacity. 1. Introduction The society of today is based upon large urban areas that have complexes transport networks, designed to serve the mobility needs of its citizens. The moving belt systems, especially escalators and moving walkways became more than a simple component of the urban layout, and passengers expects that those systems would simplify the walking trips in indoor spaces and also in outdoor public spaces. We can mention the case of large cities that have such functional facilities in outdoor public spaces throughout the year (e.g. Genève, Barcelona, etc.) In public transport stations, the moving belt systems are necessary design elements wherever elevation changes or there are longer distances, that must be travelled when carrying luggage.

This project, on the other hand, seeks to establish an alternative understanding of the ways in which nationality has played out both as a Russian tactic to unite disparate and diverse territories, and as a mode by which some ethnic minorities in Russian-ruled spaces have been able to secure relative autonomy. The Republic of Tatarstan, located in the Volga River basin, has achieved unprecedented levels of autonomy while existing as a contingent part of the USSR, and now the Russian Federation. Comparisons have been drawn between Tatarstan and Chechnya in regards to the political, economic, and cultural autonomy they exercise on their respective territories; however, while their autonomy may be comparable, their respective relationships with the Russian central governments are not.
