  • Trends and Perspectives of Cargo Traffic Activities in the Port of Split
    TRENDS AND PERSPECTIVES OF CARGO TRAFFIC ACTIVITIES IN THE PORT OF SPLIT Luka Vukić University of Split Faculty of Maritime Studies E-mail: [email protected] Zvonimir Lušić University of Split Faculty of Maritime Studies Danijel Pušić University of Split Faculty of Maritime Studies Silvija Galić Luka d.d. Split Commercial Department E-mail: [email protected] UDK 656.615 (497.583 Split) Summary Predominately perceived as a port for both national and international passenger traffic, cargo traffic activities in the Port of Split are often marginalized despite the positive trends of cargo throughput volumes in the recent years. With the absence of significant investments in port facilities, inadequate infrastructure and insufficient cargo-handling equipment, Split cargo basins jointly handled more than 3 million tons of various commodities in 2017. The current cargo throughput levels positioned the port on the third place, just behind Port of Ploče on the national level, nearly reaching the historic peaks of cargo traffic volumes. Due to the advantageous geographical location, expected economic recovery and growth of larger Split region and higher demand, it is fundamental to provide overview of current cargo traffic indicators, trends and capacities and determine the development perspectives of Port of Split and cargo-related services, which should enable the increase of the port performance and recognition. The growth of the port cargo volumes, from the port performance standpoint and considering mainly wider local and regional significance of the port, is reachable solely with large investments in modernization of infra and supra structure, especially cargo-handling equipment, complementary to the demand for commodities and services of its hinterland.

  • Olympia, from the Perspective of the Dialogical Architecture Miranda Kiuri & Jacques Teller, LEMA (Local Environment Management and Analysis), Ulg
    The stadium of Olympia, from the perspective of the dialogical architecture Miranda Kiuri & Jacques Teller, LEMA (Local Environment Management and Analysis), ULg 1. Introduction: the relation stadium – city After the boom in sporting events and the renaissance of the Olympic Games during the 19th century, stadium architecture changed rapidly during the 20th century. The changes had mainly to do with construction, techniques and materials, but broadened to affect everything connected with performance in sports and standards of play, including the management of movement by spectators and adaptation to contemporary means of communication. As the stadium changed, so too did its relationship with the cities nearby which stadiums were are located. Our analysis will address the concept of the Olympian stadium in relation to its location and the built environment, presenting a possible reinterpretation of this stadium “as part of a city at large”. Our approach is based on an analysis of the relationship between the stadium and the Altis of Olympia during the Hellenistic Period as paradigmatic case. The site of Olympia is World Cultural Heritage (UNESCO, 1989). We suggest that the terms “distancing and separation” referring to the relationship between the Olympian stadium and the Altis after its departure from the Sanctuary, do not reflect the richness of the conception of the whole. We will propose a broader reading of the stadium architecture in relation to social and cultural referents. The social dialogue that characterized Hellenistic period and the Olympics universal significance influenced the stadium location, orientation and configuration, its own archetypical essence. The following section concerns the description of the site.

  • Valencia City Guide 2022
    VALENCIA CITY GUIDE - THINGS TO SEE AND DO See inside for details about getting around, sightseeing, shopping, nightlife and more Welcome to Valencia Spain’s third-largest city is a magnificent place, content for Madrid and Barcelona to grab the headlines while it gets on with being a wonderfully liveable city with thriving cultural, eating and nightlife scenes. Never afraid to innovate, Valencia diverted its flood-prone river to the outskirts and converted the former riverbed into a glorious green ribbon of park winding right through the city. On it are the strikingly futuristic buildings of the Ciudad de las Artes y las Ciencias, designed by local boy Santiago Calatrava. Other brilliant contemporary buildings grace the city, which also has a fistful of fabulous Modernista buildings, great museums, a long stretch of beach and a large, characterful old quarter. Valencia, surrounded by its huerta, a fertile zone of market gardens, is famous as the home of rice dishes such as paella, but its buzzy dining scene offers plenty more besides; it's a superb spot for eating. Getting around Walking If you have some time on your hands, there's no better way to get around Valencia than by walking. It will give you the opportunity to really take in your surroundings. You can take a walk around the old town or even head down the reconstructed river bed to the City of Art and Sciences and the beach. Valencia is a relatively small city, so if you have the time, make the most of your break and take a relaxing stroll Buses Taking buses around Valencia will offer you the opportunity to get around the city whilst seeing the sights as you travel.

  • Review of Generated Waste from Cruisers: Dubrovnik, Split, and Zadar Port Case Studies
    resources Review Review of Generated Waste from Cruisers: Dubrovnik, Split, and Zadar Port Case Studies Merica Sliškovi´c 1,*, Helena Uki´cBoljat 1, Igor Jelaska 2 and Gorana Jeli´cMrˇceli´c 1 1 Faculty of Maritime Studies, University of Split, 21000 Split, Croatia; [email protected] (H.U.B.); [email protected] (G.J.M.) 2 Faculty of Kinesiology, University of Split, 21000 Split, Croatia; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +38-591-3806-997 Received: 28 September 2018; Accepted: 7 November 2018; Published: 9 November 2018 Abstract: The amount of waste generated is becoming an increasing problem both in terms of inefficient use of resources and its harmful effects. Large quantities of waste originate from land, but a certain amount of waste is generated at sea, in which shipping holds its share. A recent analysis for 2015–2016 has rated the Croatian ports of Dubrovnik, Split, and Zadar in the top 10 out of 20 main cruising ports in the Adriatic Sea. As it is clear that a large number of persons present onboard generate a large amount of waste, the aim of this paper is to estimate the amount of waste (plastic, domestic, and food) and examine the significance of its increasing quantity produced by cruisers in the three main cruiser ports in the Croatian part of the Adriatic Sea for the period 2014–2017. Cruise calls correlation, together with repeated measures one-way Analysis of variance -ANOVA, showed that a future increase in the port calls for Zadar can be expected while, for the port of Dubrovnik, a decrease is projected, which is in correspondence with the taken measures for a reduction in the adverse effects of the cruise industry.
