  • Urbanism and Geography of the Olympic Winter Games
    2012 Urbanism and geography of the Olympic Winter Games Mgr. Igor Kováč Národné športové centrum 6. júna 2012 Urbanism and geography of the Olympic Winter Games Introduction This contribution focuses on urban and spatial aspects in organisation of the Olympic Winter Games. It explains the role of urbanism within this process, implying the reasons which allow its distinguishing as an “Olympic” phenomenon. In this regard, an Olympic geography will be defined and its role will be further explained, resulting into identification of Olympic territory as a common platform of the both. Consequently, the concept of Olympic urbanism model will be introduced as a result of application of geographical approaches in studying the Olympic urbanism, in order to provide a historical overview and final synthesis of the factors determining spatial organisation of the Olympic Winter Games in host territories. Olympic urbanism Without any intention to exclude its environmental specifics, the Winter Games as a sort of mega-event can be clearly understood “...as an important urban phenomenon of our time...an one-time urban event with increasing prevalence as an urban strategy...” (Hiller, 2000: 185). Of course, the mountainous specifications of the Winter Games cannot be neglected as they essentially modify this strategy. In any way, however, it is the urbanism, a set of scientific and artistic methods and procedures used in the formation of human settlement, which represent those strategies. The main concern of urbanism, as one of its definitions says, is the formation and composition of urban organism and wider territorial units, following the quality of the human living environment, affected by natural, material, cultural and social aspects, highlighting the concrete population needs as its direct starting point.

  • Green Infrastructure Evaluation Model
    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).
