  • Uputstvo Za Pripremu Radova
    BG:VOZ - CONCEPT OF URBAN RAILWAY SERVICE IN BELGRADE Mirjana Bugarinović1*, Stanko Kantar2 1University of Belgrade, Faculty of Transport and Traffic Engineering, Belgrade, Serbia 2City of Belgrade, Secretariat for City Traffic, Directorate for Public Transport *Contact person: [email protected] Abstract: The concept of urban rail service, BG:voz, represents a new urban rail public transport in Belgrade. So far, it is functioning on a 25 km long line with 9 stations. Today, after three years of BG:voz operations, realized traffic volume, quality of service and financial results show the feasibility of this concept and justify the need to enhance the system. Analysis of the system performances indicates that with the introduction of new stations, the improvement of existing ones and increase of the number of train departures will result in even more modern rail public transport services with a comparatively small investment compared to the effect. Key Words: BG:voz, Urban rail service 1. INTRODUCTION Urban rail refers to passenger rail systems in urban areas, which have high capacity and provide high frequency of service, with grade separation from other traffic, typically running underground or on elevated tracks [3]. Different cities may have different names for these systems. The system is referred to as mass rapid transit in Chennai, Queensland, Singapore, metro in Madrid, Paris and Budapest, subway in New York, Chicago and Boston and tube or underground in London. What about rail service that used railway infrastructure in urban area and operate as mass rapid transit? It’s called the urban railway or “almost” metro.

    FACTA UNIVERSITATIS Series: Architecture and Civil Engineering Vol. 17, No 2, 2019, pp. 189-203 https://doi.org/10.2298/FUACE190316011C GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE EVALUATION MODEL: CASE STUDY OF BELGRADE UDC 711.4:502.12(497.11BEOGRAD) Marija Cvetković, Ivan Simić, Vladimir Mihajlov Department of Urban Planning University of Belgrade, Serbia Abstract. In this article, we consider possibilities to apply green infrastructure as an urban planning approach that provides polyvalent space for ecosystem services and human well-being and evaluates their impact on the city (re)generative space of biophilia. Two residential areas in Belgrade (block 45 in New Belgrade and Savamala neighborhood in the old city center) will be used as the focus of the research presented in this article. Even though they are characterized by different ecological, urban, morphological and social characteristics, they share direct contact with Sava River. Therefore, the adaptive potential of these spatial segments will be the subject of the analysis presented in this article, and the emphasis will be on applying and evaluating design within the integrated network of green infrastructure, and the study will determine what impact it has to planning and implementation of elements of green infrastructure. Key words: Evaluation model, green infrastructure, environmental planning and design, the ecosystem approach, biophilia, Blocks 45, Savamala. 1. INTRODUCTION Unlike natural ecosystems, urban systems create large ecological footprint that reflects in degradation of natural habitats, as well as in the loss of biodiversity and ecosystem services (Alberti, 1999). The urban heat island effect and disturbance of the natural runoff of water impair the quality of life and desirable positive effects of open public and private spaces (Gill et al., 2007).
