Full textAbstract:
Developing a balanced approach, dealing appropriately with the historic environment. has always been a challenging problem in many countries. There has been a tension between the old and the new and struggle over continuity and change. The historic city centres in Iran have also been the subject of such controversy. The historic cores, which form a very small part of the cities in recent times, have been undermined in the various waves of redevelopment. There has been an underlying emphasis on physical-led regeneration and delivery of flagship projects. This dominant approach, mainly employed by the central government, has failed to solve the problems of the areas; indeed, the interventions carried out within the framework of this approach have exacerbated the existing problems. During the last decade, however, efforts to revitalize Iranian historic cities have gained a new momentum. Several interrelated factors contributed to the changing role or structure of the state in urban regeneration process, which provided a basis for the development of a new approach to the regeneration of historic environment in Iran. Due to the lack of sufficient research on these approaches and the absence of comparing and assessing their results, this study aims to provide a deeper insight and develop a better understanding of these approaches to revitalize the historic urban centre. This is realized by identifying the employed approaches and addressing their deficiencies, exploring factors that shaped the approaches, examining and interpreting the features that characterize the approaches, and assessing their outcomes and impacts. Given the qualitative and exploratory nature of the investigation, this study has employed an in-depth case study methodology. According to the conceptual framework of this research, the emphasis of the study is on mechanisms and interrelationships that affect the process and product of urban regeneration. Accordingly, this study has concentrated on the identification of the agencies involved, the role they play, and their strategies and interests within the economic, political and cultural contexts in which they operated. These roles, strategies and interests are related to the rules, resources and ideas that governed the process. The developed conceptual framework is applied in the study of two cases, each representing a different approach employed by the urban authorities during the last decade. The cases are parts of the historic core of Mashhad and Shiraz the second and sixth largest cities in the country (metropolitan cities). The case of Mashhad exemplifies a physical-led, redevelopment oriented approach employed by the central government and the case of Shiraz represents an integrated, more sensitive, conservation-led approach adopted by the local authorities. The findings of this study provide insights into the issues that policy-makers and practitioners should consider in designing regeneration policies and developing programs and efforts dealing with the problems of historic environments. The primary implications of the study are summarized in five elements including 'a greater balance between local and central'; 'developing innovative local partnerships, multi-agency regeneration partnership'; 'empowering local authorities' (locally-based regeneration); 'adopting and developing an integrated approach' (conservation-led regeneration), and finally involving local people (community-based regeneration).

Mihajlović, Jelisaveta. "The challenge of policy coordination : interpreting governance of the historic city centres in Serbia." Thesis, Northumbria University, 2016. http://nrl.northumbria.ac.uk/36004/.
Full textAbstract:
This research seeks to establish a more coherent and comprehensive grip on the complex, often chaotic reality being addressed by the policy actors in the process of governance of the historic city centres and the policy coordination entailed by that process. The twofold objective of this research is to increase our understanding of governance of the historic city centres in Serbia, and to identify and explain barriers to and opportunities for policy coordination. In so doing, this research embraces the interpretative paradigm to examine conservation and governance of the historic city centres as a contextualised and subjective process that takes into account what is meaningful to policy actors. This research is important as it highlights the importance of studying the micro-social processes because policy-relevant, organisational learning is situated within ongoing policy-related practices. This research demonstrates the complexity of policy process and the amount of coordination needed to address policy agenda. This research makes three contributions to knowledge. First, it provides interpretation of governance of the historic environment in the new context, namely Serbia. Second, it extends our knowledge of micro-social and micro-political aspects of heritage governance. In so doing, it applies interpretive approaches to explore the research field that has been underresearched. And finally, this research extends our knowledge about the policy coordination in urban governance and governance of the historic environment by identifying a range of factors that combined could inhibit or support an overall effort towards policy coordination.

Full textAbstract:
In Turkey, the majority of the historic city centres have been continuously occupied since early ages onwards and where still occupation exists. The multi-layered structure of historic centres both can indicate the historical continuity of cities and enhance urban consciousness, if urban archaeological resources are handled effectively into planning process. However, the recent policies and strategies don’
t allow the handling of urban archaeological resources, especially invisible sub-soil resources, into planning and decision-making process. In this thesis, it is aimed to formulate a basic methodological framework for the handling of urban archaeological resources into planning process of historic city centres in Turkey. Therefore, the study is handled in two parts
a conceptual methodological framework part and an exploratory case study.In the conceptual part, a basic equation is studied to research the factors on the conservation and evaluation of real urban archaeological potential. Then, the methodological framework is examined in detail in izmir Historic City Centre that has been inhabited since 324 B.C. Consequently, the terms of equi-property areas, which are used to define ideal potential of archaeological resources, and urban archaeological character zones, which are described as the basic units of planning and conservation policies, are developed to determine exact management strategies for urban archaeological resources.

Vasilikou, Karolina. "The role of urban morphology and pedestrian movement in the perception of thermal comfort in historic city centres : spatial sequences in Rome and London." Thesis, University of Kent, 2014. https://kar.kent.ac.uk/48719/.
Full textAbstract:
Walking in the city affects the sensory realm of the pedestrian. Streets and squares in spatial sequences form a complex environment that enriches the thermal experience of pedestrians in movement. The variations that the latter perceive are not only spatial, but also microclimatic. The impact of microclimatic variations on thermal perception is challenging to measure. In particular, the link between the complexity of spatial sequences, the act of walking and the perception of thermal comfort in dense urban environments has not been studied sufficiently. The present thesis has developed a new methodological tool that helps to fill this gap. This methodology starts from the process of ‘thermal walks’. These consist of a sense-walking technique that analyses the urban climate, the morphology of spaces and the way people perceive their combined effect, through a series of structured walks with simultaneous environmental and human monitoring. This new process is based on point-to-point evaluation of the thermal perception and spatial variation. Its particularity is the combination of objective microclimatic and spatial data with subjective responses by pedestrians at street level. This methodology has been tested on site during fieldwork in the historic core of Rome and London during 2012 and 2013. This made it possible to compare results obtained from two spatial sequences in different climates in the temperate zone. Climatic mapping and design of a questionnaire for thermal walks helped to document the microclimate and variations in its perception. The resulting data was interpreted with statistical analysis and complex graphic representations of thermal variation in each spatial sequence. Findings reveal the role of streets and squares as spatial systems of thermal diversity, and shed light on some unknown characteristics of two of the most successful spatial sequences in Europe. The understanding of the thermal implications of spatial diversity is essential to develop site-specific design guidelines towards an evidence-based practice of sensory urbanism.

Full textAbstract:
Nowadays, conservation of old town centres is one of the main goals of several planning processes. For this reason, planning and historic centres' preservation can be considered synergetic concept (Frank &Petersen, 2002) and activities. Old city centres lost the role of residence and centres of services, so it important to trigger a process of reuse of historic centres through promotion of influence that residents have on social, economic and cultural vitality of the human fabric. Indeed, the role of residents in the requalification of historic centres is not sufficiently considered and it is understimated. Residents have an important role given that they can assure a high quality of life in historic centres, as they are the most important owners of the inner city, both because they have an interest in a high quality of life in the area where they live, and an economic interest related to the requalification given that the value of a building in a redeveloped area is higher than in a degradate zone.

Full textAbstract:
Sustainability, livability and quality of life have become widely and in-depth discussed issues in the literature of urban zlanning and design. This study primarily aims to
investigate the concept of walkability as a part of the literature on livability. To draw a wider theoretical framework for this study, it first seeks to answer the questions of what
the terms of &lsquolivability&rsquo
and &lsquo
quality of life&rsquo
mean, and what components they constitute. Then, it focuses on the concept of &lsquo
walkability&rsquo
as one of the major components of these terms and as a measurable notion in urban design. Thus, this research seeks to define the notion of &lsquo
walkability&rsquo
and to identify a set of measures of walkability in public spaces to be used for the assessment of the &lsquo
walkability capacity&rsquo
of urban space. It should be noted that this research particularly tries to use the indicators of walkability which can directly impact on the design quality of urban space. Third, this research focuses on Mersin historic city center which has been in the process of deterioration for a while due to various current urban policies and strategies. As the case studies, it examines Uray and Atatü
rk Streets which constitute the major thoroughfares of the historic city center by using the set of walkability measures. It investigates the walkability quality of four different character zones of Uray and Atatü
rk Streets, and identifies their walkability capacities, problems and potentials. Finally, it suggests the policy and practical solutions on the design of these public spaces that will not only improve the walkability capacity of these streets, but also be helpful for the revitalization of the historic city center.

Full textAbstract:
Nowadays, many cities try to turn their historic city centers into centers of attraction both for inhabitants and visitors by reorganizing and revitalizing them. These reorganization and revitalization processes change the users of the place as well as its physical structure. Thus, this change also creates deep impacts on human-place relationship. Traces of these impacts can be observed via &lsquosense of place&rsquo
and &lsquo
place image&rsquo
concepts. Studying these concepts is difficult due to their subjectivity
however, it is necessary to understand the change of place in all dimensions. It is possible to observe a similar process in Kaleiç
i, the historic city center of Antalya. This research examines the process of change in Kaleiç
i over the last five decades regarding the impacts on the &lsquo
sense of place&rsquo
and &lsquo
place image&rsquo
. It identifies &lsquo
physical setting&rsquo
, &lsquo
activity&rsquo
and &lsquo
meaning&rsquo
as observable components of these concepts
and it examines the change in these components through the in-depth interviews with three different user groups (i.e., users before 1980, those after 1980 and present users) and cognitive maps. The research considers that the first conservation practices in Kaleiç
i started in 1980s, thus, it examines the change in &lsquo
sense of place&rsquo
under the headings of before 1980, after 1980 and present time. This research shows that the &lsquo
sense of place&rsquo
and &lsquo
place image&rsquo
between these user groups vary significantly. It indicates that the sense of place of the first user group is generated mostly regarding &lsquo
meaning&rsquo
component shaped by experiences
whereas the sense of place of the second and third category users mostly relates with physical environment and historical identity of the place. Besides, this research comes to a conclusion that there is a direct link between the change in sense of place and the efforts of turning the area into a center of attraction for tourism.

Esta tese apresenta a trajetória e os resultados de uma investigação realizada referente à evolução urbana da cidade de São Luís, capital do Maranhão, com um olhar sobre o Centro Histórico. A investigação se fundamenta na necessidade de conhecer os processos que geraram, para o centro da cidade, o título Patrimônio da Humanidade em 1997. É neste contexto que foi analisada a morfologia urbana desde sua fundação até o reconhecimento do título pela UNESCO. Realizou-se uma pesquisa dos principais aspectos que contribuíram para que pudesse ser alcançado esse logro internacional, entre eles: a análise da própria sociedade colonizadora, pensando em como ela desenvolveu o núcleo inicial e quais as normas e leis criadas para o progresso da cidade; os ciclos econômicos, que ora proporcionaram a construção dos grandiosos casarões, ora impossibilitaram a renovação dos antigos casarões; a aparição do primeiro movimento conservacionista e seus principais protagonistas na São Luís do século XIX; as intervenções urbanísticas realizadas pelo governo em prol da revitalização e renovação do centro histórico; e, finalmente, a análise da proposta de elevar a capital ludovicense a Patrimônio Cultural da Humanidade.This thesis presents the path and the results of an investigation related to the urban evolution of the city of Sao Luís, capital of the State of Maranhão, with an eye on the historical center. The research meets the need to understand the processes that led the city center to receive the World Heritage title in 1997. In this context, we analyzed the urban morphology from its foundation to the recognition of the title by the UNESCO through the main aspects that contributed to achieving this international recognition, namely: the colonial society itself, focusing on how it developed the initial core of the city and which rules and laws it created for its progress; the economic cycles, which both provided the construction of grand mansions and prevented their renovation; the appearance of the first conservationist movement and its key players in nineteenth century São Luís; the urban interventions carried out by the government towards the revitalization and renewal of the historic center; and, finally, the proposition to raise São Luís’s historical center to a World Heritage site.

Full textAbstract:
The chosen locality of the diploma project is situated in the centre of Brno, on the edge of the historical part of the city. It borders on the main green belt and the biggest city park Lužánky. The analyzed block is unique because of its oversize and its composition. However, objects in a courtyard contrasts to the representative town houses on the perimeter. They appear very unordered; it is not possible to walk through this part of the city. The secondary functions, like storages and on-ground parking, are located there. The greenness is not maintained. The objects split the courtyard into not specified and separated spaces, which are even complicated by sloping topography. Nowadays the block makes a barrier in the city structure. The main values of the courtyard are its location, size and calm atmosphere. The potential of the site is possible to use for a proposal of a high-quality dwelling complex. The proposed structure is designed on a linear base, it correspondents to the shape of the chosen site. It creates also public and semiprivate open spaces, which can serve for the new inhabitants. The simple look of the new structure seems to be in harmony with the existing buildings. Even more, the open character of the proposal cultivates the entire block and improves the city structure.

Full textAbstract:
Historic commercial centres are subject to continuous change and transformation due to the changing socio-economic and cultural structure and relations of production and consumption. Organized within a traditional structure, these spaces have survived until today with their altering meanings and different identities as well as the restructuration they went through because of the socio-economic transformation processes. Besides, they are not only shopping areas or consumption spaces but also urban areas with a traditional style of manufacture and crafts. Theoretical discussions on the conservation of historic city centres focus on issues such as integration of city centres into contemporary life with functions that do not have adverse effects on the authentic characteristics of historic streets and urban fabrics, the role of new functions, activities and structures in the historic fabric, and participation in the conservation process.
Historic buildings adopt functions that are different from their original functions due to changing life styles. Having functioned in a well-organized order and shaped by the socio-cultural and economic structure of their eras, they are subject to interventions due to the functions required by the present conditions, such as the addition of a mezzanine or the establishment of a connection between spaces. As a result of these interventions, the original plan schemes and authentic characteristics of historic buildings have changed. This thesis aims at identifying the types of commercial functions that intervene into the authentic design characteristics of commercial buildings located in the historic commercial centre. To this end, the Commercial Centre of Bursa was chosen as the case and the change in the functions of the hans located in this area was examined in detail.

Full textAbstract:
Lead in soil has been shown to be a significant pathway of lead exposure in children. Several factors including age of housing units, exterior composition, and paint loading may affect the amount of lead present in the soil. The purpose of this study was to analyze soil lead levels on properties located in an historic district and relate those levels to the variables previously mentioned. A total of 30 soil samples were collected from housing units in a nationally recognized historic district. Concentrations of lead in the soil were analyzed using a NITON X-ray Fluorescence Spectrum Analyzer, following EPA Method 6200 and the instrument protocol. Significant differences were found between the soil lead levels and paint loading (fully painted vs. non-painted). Significant differences were also found between soil lead levels and exterior surface (frame, brick, and other). A correlation analysis revealed there was no correlation between housing age and soil lead levels. Soil lead can be used as a predictor of blood lead levels in children. Using the information regarding soil lead concentration, the relative risk of exposure to lead and the subsequent health effects can be estimated for children living in the study area. The results from this study can also be used to initiate other studies and develop educational strategies for the district.

Full textAbstract:
The recent developments in urban conservation and urban archaeology have given considerable importance to the presentation of urban archaeological remains to the public in order to raise public awareness for conservation. Parallel to this, in the last decade, urban planners have begun to seek for alternatives for creating sustainable places with the emphasis on sustainable urban development. These two goals of different disciplines meet themselves in the integration of urban archaeological remains to modern town and to modern life in historic town centers.
In this context, this thesis aims to discuss how these urban archaeological resources can be integrated to everyday life in historic town centers. This is achieved by investigating two successful European cases Tarragona and Verona, and then discussing their possible contributions to a Turkish case Tarsus.

Full textAbstract:
In Turkey, although there are many similar implemented or ongoing conservation interventions, some of historic city centers are in better condition than other ones in terms of urban conservation. Conservation discourse describes the conservation of historic city centers as a shared and sustaining responsibility of various actors. At that point, locality is essential because of near and directs relations with historic environment. However, there are basic problems to develop a synergy based on shared responsibilities of local actors in historic centers. Therefore, the study focuses on the question of &ldquoWhat is the role of local conservation capacity in the maintenance of historic city centers as a governance process&rdquo
. The study essentially discusses two issues, local conservation capacity, which is determined as an amalgam term of capabilities of local authority and local community, and urban maintenance, which is used in widening context to determines not only rehabilitation projects, but also interventions of local community let to survive of historic buildings. The method of the study is established as a comparative structure bases on case study researches. Comparisons are made between varying levels of local conservation capacity to determine their relations with success in urban maintenance. As a result, in defined context, the historic city centers of Gaziantep and Sanliurfa are studied as case study areas to evaluate success in urban maintenance as a function of local governance in terms of local conservation capacity.

Full textAbstract:
The decline in patronage, decrease in building density, and loss in property values suffered by Downtown Muncie, Indiana is a result of competition from shopping malls. This deterioration will continue unless there is a concerted effort by citizens, property owners, and the city to promote commercial revitalization of this area.The National Trust for Historic Preservation's Main Street Center suggest that communities can achieve commercial revitalization through a four part program which combines organization, design, promotion, and economic restructuring. Mary Jo Ruccio of the National Development Council, suggests that commercial revitalization cannot be successful unless the approach includes a comprehensive plan that addresses a downtown's unique problems.In order to create a functional commercial revitalization strategy for Muncie's downtown, the commercial district's history was reviewed, the existing buildings were surveyed, published historic preservation plans and commercial revitalization plans ware reviewed, and a variety of funding sources were studied. These efforts led to the development of a commercial revitalization strategy that is patterned after the Main Street Center's program. A major component of this strategy is the Downtown Commercial Revitalization Network that is recommended to act as a steering committee for a Downtown Development Director whose sole purpose is to direct downtown revitalization. The strategy recommends residential adaptive-use of the second stories in downtown buildings to promote economic development, and to preserve the historic structures. Low-interest loans with design standards are recommended to provide funds to create this housing stock without damaging the historic fabric. This will supply downtown with regular customers, thus strengthening existing establishments, creating the need for new businesses downtown, and diversifying the economic base.This strategy can be applied to the current downtown revitalization efforts by the City of Muncie. The ideas and general theories can also be applied by small Indiana towns which suffer from economic problems. A comprehensive plan that is tailored specifically for a downtown which account for the organization, design, economic, and promotion needs of downtown will set the course for successful commercial revitalization.Department of Architecture

Full textAbstract:
Public space is a component of our physical environment which has an important role in city life. This thesis is primarily about investigating public space and public realm in the historic city centre of Damascus in order to understand the potential for its improvement, and secondarily about recommending specific actions towards this. The research takes a qualitative approach focusing on public space as a ‘product’ which is the result of a process. In terms of the product, the nature, morphological and functional aspects of public spaces in Damascus are examined. The governance process is analysed at local level to define main actors, the rules they interact with and the rationalities they use to intervene in public space. This analysis includes locality-specific literature review and interviews with key informants. Such case study analysis is undertaken against the background of a survey of public space regeneration in selected cities around the Mediterranean. Public spaces in Damascus historically developed under strong endogenous social and cultural rules creating a hierarchy of ‘traditional’ spaces which supported public, parochial and private realms. In the contemporary period, these spaces have gone through modernisation in their governance process through introducing new actors and more formal rules, which have led to more ‘publicness’ and tension between tradition and modernisation. This has affected their nature as well as morphological and functional aspects. Analysis showed that strong centralised political and public sector control is found over the governance process through a top-down representative approach. Capacities, interests and perception of public spaces among actors, in addition to poor management, strict legislation and lack of qualified cadres, have all contributed to the continuing deteriorating situation of public spaces. Moreover, interventions for improvement occurred on a short-term basis and mainly to restore historical monuments and improve traffic. An integrated approach to upgrading open spaces is still needed on a long term basis, subject to the available financial resources, with wider governance arrangements and further collaboration and integration between different governmental bodies.

Cities in South Africa share a complex history, one that is conserved in its architecture. The preservation and conservation of the built fabric have formed an assertive role in suburban sprawl and decentralization. The cities are left stagnant-unable to adapt or change to the needs and problems faced today, and very concerning problems predicted in the future. Vacancy and urban decay have become the identity of these cities as paradigm shifts occur. The obsolescence caused by the pursuit of a former identity of South Africa.
The dissertation looks towards an architectural realm of the future, where architecture can no longer serve as an object, but an adaptable habitat. One that does not become obsolete in time, but grows and transforms with the changing city. It does not follow the principles of new and standing alone but merges with the existing. It becomes a collection of components, much like a machine, filling in the spaces between. Repurposing and reinventing the existing towards spatial, social, and environmental sustainability relevant to the present and future needs.
Church square in the city of Pretoria translates the concerns of an urban fabric that has in some terms become irrelevant. The area shows an opportunity for further investigation of an architectural intervention that questions the current state of the city and its development policies.Mini Dissertation (MArch (Prof)--University of Pretoria, 2020.

Previous issue date: 2015-09-09This thesis intended to be developed by the present research, maintains that Housing, understood as integrated public policy, constitutes a determining component in the process of regeneration of the central areas in the cities, namely the historic centers. It proposes the study, through the analysis of paradigmatic cases of intervention in historic centers of cities in Brazil and Portugal i.e. Salvador and Porto the sets of constraints which allow the structuring of programs or continuing public politics, from which there were significant results in the process of rehabilitation and preservation of these centers. It is important, in regards to the present research, to put into context, not only the programmatic formulas but, and, especially, the conceptual foundations associated with them, in a way to understand the relevance of urban planning practices which are part of the housing issue and verify the forms of articulation and the respective impacts in the process of sociability and functional revitalization of the historic centers. Thus, by document analysis and by empirical observation of a set of experiments, which proceeded the configuration of housing policies for the historic centers studied, it is the intention to evaluate which transformations and concept development from which resulted significant contributions for the formulation of urban policies on handling housing shortages, typical of these and other centers. On the other hand, it is important to verify the circumstances in which the referred practices have not occurred, where the historical process demonstrates maladjustment or non-completion of the programmatic assumptions
A tese que se pretende desenvolver pela presente pesquisa sustenta que a Habitação, entendida como política pública integrada, constitui um componente determinante para os processos de reabilitação das áreas centrais das cidades, nomeadamente dos centros históricos. Propõe estudar, pela análise de casos paradigmáticos de intervenções em centros históricos de cidades no Brasil e em Portugal - a saber, Salvador e Porto - os conjuntos de condicionantes que permitiram estruturar programas ou políticas públicas continuadas, das quais resultaram significativos resultados nos processos de reabilitação e preservação desses centros. Importa, no âmbito da presente pesquisa, contextualizar não apenas as formulações programáticas, mas e, principalmente, os fundamentos conceituais que lhe estão associados, de forma a compreender a relevância das práticas de planejamento urbano que integram a questão habitacional e verificar as formas de articulação e os respectivos impactos nos processos de sociabilidade e revitalização funcional dos centros históricos. Assim, pela análise documental e pela observação empírica de um conjunto de experiências, que precederam a configuração de políticas de habitação para os centros históricos estudados, pretende-se avaliar quais as transformações e os desenvolvimentos conceituais dos quais resultaram significativas contribuições para a formulação de políticas urbanas de enfrentamento das carências habitacionais, típicas dessas e de outras centrais. Importa verificar as circunstâncias em que não têm ocorrido as referidas práticas, onde o processo histórico demonstra o desajuste ou a não concretização dos pressupostos programáticos

This work was developed with the goal to know the town of Campo Grande-MS, through the analysis of the Feira Central, mainly between the 1970 and 2009. To this end were used in newspapers and magazines of the time, as also were held interviews with fairground undertaking and residents of the city. The fairs are events that occur in the middle ages. In Brazil accompanied the colonization; and in Campo Grande the Feira Livre Central (Free Central Fair) was regulated in 1925. Whereas the city of Campo Grande was emancipated in 1899, the fair was present in the daily field campo-grandense very early. The Feira Central installed as source provider of the city, and subsequently suffered transformations that culminated in his changing location in 2004. Was standing as the city's heritage, and included in the touristic itineraries. Campo Grande, in turn, became the capital of the State of Mato Grosso do Sul, and wanted to "modernize", taking as a model São Paulo. Urban projects, sought to review and recover his past to formulate its history. Campo Grande, then, was to shows in Feira, and the Feira Livre Central was a thumbnail of the city, with relations and cultural data of the company in question. The city reveals their rural outlines and represents products of tradeshow booths. In this study, the importance of Feira in daily life of residents, your belongs and your needs are analyzed
Este trabalho foi elaborado com o objetivo de conhecer a cidade de Campo Grande-MS, através da análise da Feira Livre Central, principalmente, entre os anos de 1970 e 2009. Para tal foram utilizados jornais e revistas da época; também, foram realizadas entrevistas com feirantes e moradores da cidade. As feiras são eventos que surgem na Idade Média; no Brasil acompanharam a colonização e, em Campo Grande, a Feira Livre foi regulamentada, em 1925. Considerando que a cidade de Campo Grande foi emancipada, em 1899, a Feira esteve presente, no cotidiano campo-grandense, desde muito cedo. A Feira Livre Central instalou-se como fonte abastecedora da cidade e, posteriormente, sofreu transformações que culminaram com sua mudança de local, em 2004. Foi enaltecida como patrimônio da cidade e incluída nos roteiros turísticos. Campo Grande, por sua vez, transformou-se na capital do Estado de Mato Grosso do Sul e pretendeu modernizar-se , tendo como modelo São Paulo. Realizou projetos urbanísticos, procurou rever e reaver seu passado para formular sua história. Campo Grande, então, estava à mostra na Feira, e a Feira Livre Central era uma miniatura da cidade, com as relações e os dados culturais da sociedade em questão. A cidade revela seus contornos rurais e os representa nos produtos das barracas da feira. Neste estudo historiográfico, analisa-se a importância da Feira, no cotidiano dos moradores, seus pertencimentos e suas necessidades

Full textAbstract:
La précocité de l'engagement révolutionnaire de Bourg-Saint-Andeol et de la région du Rhône moyen contraste avec l'orientation presque aussi pionnière des foyers contre-révolutionnaires tout proches de Jalès et du Haut-Comtat. En premier lieu sont dégagés les facteurs susceptibles à la veille de la révolution d'influer sur des prises de position aussi tranchées: dynamisme démographique, conflits internes du monde rural et du monde urbain qui bouleverse la pénétration de l'économie marchande, intensité et coloration typée de la vie sociale, progression des idées nouvelles, spécificité bourguesanne. . . Une seconde partie s'attache à éclairer les choix révolutionnaires de la période 1788-1792. Choix marqués par l'ampleur et la nature des mouvements populaires de 1789 et de 1792, construits par étapes, après de nombreuses hésitations, et que jalonnent l'émergence des fédérations de gardes nationales, la formation du premier réseau de sociétés patriotiques. Le troisième volet met en relief l'affirmation d'un "jacobinisme méridional" qui expérimente les "anticipations de l'an deux", mais se trouve bientôt confronté à la reprise en main des représentants en mission, aux secousses de la déchristianisation, a des contradictions internes de plus en plus antagonismes et a une vigoureuse contre-offensive des modérés préfigurant les évènements de thermidor. Une courte incursion sur la période post-thermidorienne et directoriale en Ardèche tente une approche sur la permanence et les infléchissements de l'engagement révolutionnaireVery early, Bourg-Saint-Andeol and the middle r=Rhone region took side with the revolution, contrasting with the very close counter-revolutionnary centers, Jalès and the Upper Comtat, and their nearly as pioneering trend. First of all, we'll bring out the factors likely to have an effect on so contradictiory positions at the eve of the revolution: demographic vitality, struggles inside the rural and the urban world that spread of trading economy upsets, intensity and marked colour of social life, progress of the new ideas, "bourguesan" specificity. . . A second part applies to enlight the revolutionary choices for the period 1788-1792. These choices are stamped by the extent and nature of the uprising of the popular classes in 1789 and in 1792; they are built by stages after much hesitation, and marked out by the birth of the national guards federations, the making of the first network of patriotic societies. The third part sets off the assertion of a "southern jacobinism", testing the "anticipations of year two, but soon opposed to the "representants en mission", to the shocks provoked by dechristianization, to more and more acute inner contradictions, and to a strenuous counter-attack of the moderates, foreboding the "thermidor" events. Through a glimpse of the post "thermidorian" period, we'll study the persistence of the revolutionnary engagement

Full textAbstract:
Durant la première décennie du XXIe siècle, le centre historique de Mexico a cessé de perdre ses habitants, amorçant un mouvement de revalorisation économique et symbolique dont on commence à peine à mesurer l’importance. Cette thèse retrace la formation de ce haut lieu patrimonial pour mieux appréhender la singularité du processus de gentrification qui s’y déploie. Deux postulats sont mis à l’épreuve.D’abord, il est stipulé que la gentrification s’inscrit dans un continuum historique qui détermine la division sociale de l’espace urbain. On constate en effet que les “pionniers urbains” prennent place en des lieux spécifiques, en particulier le long des foyers “civilisateurs” établis depuis la période coloniale, où l’on retrouve actuellement une offre immobilière adaptée aux aspirations et aux besoins sécuritaires des nouveaux habitants.Ensuite, la gentrification n’est pas le produit d’acteurs individuels mais elle implique des conflits d’intérêts entre des acteurs collectifs. Nourrie par de nombreux témoignages, cette recherche interroge le rôle que les élites politiques et économiques entendent attribuer au noyau historique de la capitale mexicaine ; elle expose la participation ambigüe des classes intermédiaires ainsi que les différentes formes de résistance exprimées par les populations exclues du projet urbain. Enfin, afin d’évaluer la prétendue pluralité du projet de “revitalisation”, reprenant les débats autour de l’aménagement participatif, elle offre une description détaillée des différents mécanismes de patrimonialisation et de gestion sociale établis par le gouvernement local en guise de neutraliser les conflits inhérents au processus de gentrificationDuring the first decade of the 21st Century, the depopulation of the historical downtown of Mexico City ceased, giving way to a process of economic and symbolic revalorization. The causes and consequences of this process have not been fully identified. This thesis reviews the origins of this important patrimonial site, and attempts to analyze the territories currently undergoing processes of gentrification, based on the following postulates:First, it stipulates that gentrification takes place as part of a historical continuum that determines the social organization of urban space. In fact, this research shows that those who are “pioneers” tend to appropriate specific places, which are usually former “civilization” nuclei established during the colony. There as well, real estate offers aimed at these new groups of the population, more demanding in terms of safety and urban comfort, cluster.Secondly, it establishes that gentrification is not produced by isolated actors, but rather implies conflicts of interest between diverse collective actors. Sustained by a diversity of testimonies, this thesis examines the character that economic and political elites sought to imprint upon a fundamental territory for the Mexican capital; it also explores the ambiguous participation of the middle classes and depicts the different forms of resistance set in motion by those excluded from this new city project. Finally, it offers a detailed overview of the mechanisms of patrimonialization and social management established by the Federal District’s Government, in their attempt to neutralize the conflicts inherent to the gentrification process
Durante la primera década del siglo XXI, el Centro Histórico de la Ciudad de México dejó de despoblarse, dando paso a un proceso de revalorización económica y simbólica cuyas causas y consecuencias no han sido plenamente identificadas. La tesis abarca los orígenes de este importante sitio patrimonial y pretende analizar los territorios actuales de la gentrificación a partir de los postulados siguientes.Primero, se estipula que la gentrificación se desenvuelve dentro de un continuo histórico que determina la división social del espacio urbano. De hecho, la investigación arroja que los “pioneros” tienden a apropiarse lugares específicos, que suelen ser los antiguos núcleos “civilizatorios“ establecidos durante la colonia. Allí se concentra también la oferta inmobiliaria dirigida hacia estos nuevos grupos de población, más exigentes en términos de seguridad y de confort urbano.En segundo lugar, se establece que la gentrificación no es el producto de actores aislados sino que implica conflictos de intereses entre diversos actores colectivos. Nutrida con testimonios diversos, esta tesis examina el carácter que las élites económicas y políticas quisieran imprimir sobre un territorio medular para la capital mexicana; expone además la participación ambigua de las clases medias y retrata las diferentes formas de resistencia puestas en marcha por los sectores excluidos del nuevo proyecto de ciudad. Con el fin de evaluar la pluralidad del proyecto “revitalizador” del Centro Histórico, y retomando discusiones en torno al ordenamiento territorial participativo, la tesis ofrece un panorama detallado de los mecanismos de patrimonialización y de gestión social, establecidos por el gobierno del Distrito Federal en su intento por neutralizar los conflictos inherentes al proceso de gentrificación

The streets historic cities are designed to support only the traffic of animal-dragged vehicles and few pedestrians. However, the heavy flow of vehicles in these cities leads to negative impacts for city logistics and for the preservation of its built heritage. These impacts are more perceived in the historical center, which is the oldest place in the cities, usually characterized by narrow streets, winding trails and, in some cases, sloping terrain, in addition to being the place where there is a predominance of commercial and administrative activities. A possible solution to minimize these impacts, particularly those related to freight transport, is the implementation of an Urban Distribution Center (UDC). However, prior to the effective implementation of a UCD, it is necessary to do a study about the conditions that may favor its use and to understand the views of stakeholders involved directly or indirectly in this process. The main objective of the study is to analyse the relevant criteria to be considered in the implementation of a CDU to supply the Brazilian historical cities, taking the example of the historic center of Ouro Preto, which is considered a reference to the other historical cities. For this, based on the perception of sustainability (economic, social and environmental), technical and historical criteria reported in the literature, is done a survey with retailers, carriers, residents, and municipal guards of Ouro Preto. Five semi-structured interviews are also carried out: three with public authorities related to freight traffic in the city, one with a manager of the commercial association and another with the head of the office of Iphan, a Federal autarchy that aims to ensure the preservation of the historical heritage of Ouro Preto. To find the relevant criteria, a descriptive analysis and a factor analysis is applied. Moreover, the qualitative analysis of interviews, and the literature review will be used to correlate the results. It is concluded that residents and municipal guards have similar point of views while retailers and carriers diverge opinions among themselves and among the other agents. The carriers have also shown against the existence of the negative impacts of transport. The variables that presented at least 75% of agreement among all the agents were: increase of the level of service; local prosperity; total investments and costs; use of technologies and vehicle size. The factors found for retailers and residents showed little correlation, reinforcing the different points of view of these agents. However, it should be noted that the most striking factor for both agents was related to the concern for the preservation of historical patrimony, by representing 14.31% of the variance in the set of all variables of the retailers and 21.12% of the common variables of the retailers; in the case of residents, this factor explained 23,38% of the all variance.
As vias das cidades históricas foram projetadas para suportar apenas o tráfego de veículos de tração animal e poucos pedestres. Entretanto, o fluxo intenso de veículos existente nessas cidades acarreta impactos negativos tanto para a logística urbana quanto para a preservação do seu patrimônio. Esses impactos são mais percebidos nos centros históricos, isto é, o local mais antigo das cidades, geralmente caracterizado por ruas estreitas, traçado sinuoso e, em alguns casos, terreno inclinado, além da predominância de atividades comerciais e administrativas. Uma possível solução para conter tais impactos, particularmente aqueles relacionados ao transporte de carga, é a instalação de um Centro de Distribuição Urbana (CDU). Contudo, antes da implantação efetiva de um CDU é preciso estudar as condições que possam favorecer o seu uso e entender a visão dos agentes envolvidos direta ou indiretamente nesse processo. Posto isso, o objetivo principal do estudo é analisar os critérios relevantes na implantação de um CDU para atender cidades históricas brasileiras, tendo como exemplo o caso do centro histórico de Ouro Preto, considerada como cidade referência para as demais cidades históricas do país. Para isso, utilizando como base a percepção de critérios de sustentabilidade (econômicos, sociais e ambientais), técnicos e históricos identificados na literatura, é realizada uma survey com os seguintes agentes: varejistas, transportadoras, residentes e guardas municipais. Também são realizadas cinco entrevistas semiestruturadas: três com autoridades públicas relacionadas ao tráfego de veículos de carga na cidade, uma com um representante da associação comercial e outra com o chefe do escritório do Iphan, autarquia federal que visa assegurar a conservação e preservação do patrimônio histórico de Ouro Preto. Para encontrar os critérios relevantes, é aplicada a análise descritiva e a análise fatorial exploratória. A análise qualitativa das entrevistas, unida ao material bibliográfico foi utilizada para corroborar os resultados encontrados. Conclui-se que residentes e guardas municipais possuem pontos de vista semelhantes enquanto varejistas e transportadoras divergem opiniões entre si e em relação aos demais agentes. Os motoristas de veículos de carga também atenuaram a existência dos impactos negativos do transporte. As variáveis que apresentaram pelo menos 75% de concordância entre todos os agentes foram: aumento do nível de serviço; prosperidade local; total de investimentos e custos; uso de tecnologias e tamanho do veículo. Os fatores encontrados para varejistas e residentes apresentaram pouca correlação, reforçando os diferentes pontos de vista desses agentes. Ressalta-se, porém, que o fator mais impactante para ambos agentes foi o que estava relacionado à preocupação pela preservação do patrimônio histórico, representando 14,31% da variância no conjunto de todas as variáveis dos varejistas e 21,12% das variáveis comuns dos varejistas; no caso dos residentes, este fator explicou 23, 38% da variância.

The subject of the Diploma thesis is an urban study in the area of the former part of Tepna in Náchod. The Tepna area is largely after demolition and is currently dilapidating. This area has the potential for development and use, located within a short walking distance from the historic city center and at the same time from the residential area in the northern part of Náchod. Above the solved area is the castle, which is a dominant and a city landmark. The aim of the proposal was to use the potential of the territory at most, but at the same time to approach the surrounding landscape sensitively and to connect the urban character of the surrounding urban structure of the city and, conversely, the existing buildings of unclosed blocks are supplemented by new development.

Resumo: As políticas de promoção urbana, como o city marketing, são cada vez mais utilizadas no desenvolvimento e planejamento das cidades de grande porte ou turísticas, adquirindo relevância no conjunto das novas ações urbanas engendradas no contexto das economias globais e do capitalismo avançado. A sua emergência e ascensão, indicam uma nova metodologia aos projetos de (re)urbanização e uma nova visão do espaço urbano que se impõe na orientação dessas políticas. O city marketing utiliza a cultura, entendida como mercadoria, na instrumentalização de estratégias de competição das cidades em meio a globalização. O presente trabalho tem como objetivo analisar a relação entre edifícios com finalidades culturais, inseridos em mecanismos de promoção urbana, com os processos de reurbanização em centros consolidados. Desta forma pretende-se discutir a questão: no Brasil, especificamente no centro de São Paulo, a política de promoção urbana por meio de edifícios com programas destinados à cultura obteve êxito em relação à reabilitação do entorno? O objeto de estudo é a área da Luz, no centro de São Paulo e o projeto de seu novo edifício cultural: o Complexo Cultural Teatro da Dança
Abstract: The policies of urban promotion as the city marketing, are more and more used in development and planning of large or tourist cities, acquiring a centrality in set of new urban actions, becoming one of the main tools to leverage projects to the city. Its emergence and rise indicates a new ideology of the projects of (re)urbanization and a new worldview that is imposed on the orientation of these policies. The city marketing uses the culture as a indispensable tool to achieve the global competitiveness and dissemination of global urban image. The current study aims to examine the connection between buildings, with cultural purposes, embedded in urban promotion strategy, with the processes of reurbanization in consolidated centers. Thus it is intend to discuss the question: in Brazil, specifically at São Paulo downtown, the policy of urban promotion through buildings with programs for the culture had successful in relation of the rehabilitation of the environment? The study object is the area of Luz, at São Paulo downtown and its new cultural building, the Cultural Complex of the Dance Theater

Full textAbstract:
Trabalho apresentado à Universidade Fernando Pessoa, como parte dos requisitos para obtenção de grau de Mestre em Arquitectura e UrbanismoO presente trabalho tem como principal objecto de estudo o tema da reabilitação e requalificação do espaço urbano e do edificado arquitectónico inserido nos centros históricos das cidades. Para concretizar estes objectivos apresenta-se como base um enquadramento teórico alargado, que evolui para a análise de um caso prático do projecto de intervenção de reabilitação e valorização pela requalificação do centro histórico da cidade de Santa Maria da Feira. Recuperar, reabilitar ou requalificar a cidade histórica implica sempre transformar o existente. Mas as intervenções e transformações requerem que se tenha sempre presente a consciência e o conhecimento da dimensão e a responsabilidade da forma como actuar durante todo este processo. É uma verdade que não se pode transformar adequadamente aquilo que não se conhece, e os resultados ficam comprometidos se não forem utilizadas as ferramentas de projecto mais adequadas. Deste modo, através de uma metodologia que se suporta numa exploração teórica inicial, recolhida de diversos autores e fontes documentais de cartas e recomendações sobre o tema da reabilitação e requalificação dos centros históricos e sua sustentabilidade, é analisado o caso da cidade de Santa Maria da Feira, traduzindo-se este trabalho numa reflexão sobre o modo de se intervir no património edificado mas também, e principalmente, na construção da paisagem dos centros históricos das cidades. A organização do trabalho é quase cronológica nos seus diversos assuntos ou seja toda a componente teórica de enquadramento, a história da cidade de Santa Maria da Feira, a transformação do seu centro histórico pela reabilitação e requalificação e as perspectivas futuras decorrentes deste processo. Como objectivos pretendeu-se identificar quais são os principais factores intervenientes numa reabilitação urbana e arquitectónica integrada de uma zona histórica, tendo em conta a cultura local, e de que forma esses factores podem ser implementados no desenvolvimento, tentandose dar indicações para que o futuro não seja arremessado para situações contrárias aos objectivos que se pretendiam obter inicialmente. Como principais conclusões julga-se que foi possível realizar um adequado enquadramento do tema, com a apresentação da evolução dos conceitos sobre a reabilitação do património, traduzidos em cartas e recomendações, não só arquitectónico como também do espaço urbano dos centros históricos, podendo a análise da transformação operada na cidade de Santa Maria da Feira ser caracterizada e analisada à luz desses conceitos e recomendações, com a identificação dos principais elementos característicos da reabilitação urbana e arquitectónica e formas de actuação sobre o património do centro histórico desta cidade. Por último, tendo como base os resultados obtidos, apresentam-se algumas perspectivas de evolução futuras, alertando-se para alguns dos riscos que poderão ocorrer, para o que se realizou o exercício de identificar os elementos que deverão merecer a atenção e para os quais se recomendam caminhos simples de soluções futuras. This work has as main purpose of study the theme of rehabilitation and revitalization of urban space and architectural buildings inserted in historical city centers. To achieve these objectives is presented, based on a broad theoretical framework, the following and descrived analysis of a case study about the intervention project of rehabilitation and recovery by upgrading of the historic city center of Santa Maria da Feira. Recover, rehabilitate or redevelop the historic city always involves transforming the existing one. However these interventions and transformations require not only ever-present awareness and understanding of the magnitude but also responsibility about how it works throughout this process. In fact, it’s obvious we can’t change properly what we don’t know, and the results are compromised if we don’t use the most appropriated design tools. In this way, through a methodology that supports a theoretical exploration initial collected from various authors and documentary sources on the subject of rehabilitation and upgrading of historic centres and its sustainability, which will be applied to the case analyzed in the town of Santa Maria da Feira, this work represents a reflection about how to interview in the built heritage but also and mainly in the construction and organization of the landscape of historic city centres. The organization of work is almost chronological in their various subjects or any component theoretical framework, which is the history of the city of Santa Maria da Feira, the transformation of its historic centre for the rehabilitation and upgrading and the future prospects of this process. The aim consist in the main factors involved in urban renewal and architectural intended to be integrated in a historic local, having in mind the local culture, and how these factors can be implemented. It’s fundamental to give directions for the future, even that appear in directions that are contrary to the objectives aimed initially. As it was already defended, the main results it is believed that it was possible to perform an adequate framework of the theme, with the presentation of the evolution of concepts on the rehabilitation of heritage, translated in letters and recommendations, not only architectural but also the urban historic centres, the analysis of the city of Feira are characterized and analyzed in the light of these concepts and recommendations. In a conclusion way, this analysis was intended to draw some conclusions about the concepts and best modes of action in urban spaces, what worked well, but what has not been as successful, and thus determine simple recommendations ways and future solutions.

The diploma thesis deals with design of the polyfunctional center and the whole complex for the Brno University of Technology, which would serve for its representation. The land is in Brno on Kraví hora and its location has huge potential. However, the area is not used by the university, so the existing buildings are in poor condition. Therefore, the aim of the proposal is to find a suitable use of the land that would meet the university's requirements together with the city's intentions.

Denna uppsats fokuserar på Haparandas historiska identitet genom att analysera 14 av stadens offentliga skulpturer. Syftet är att presentera en representativ bild av de offentliga skulpturerna och att analysera dess historiska koppling till Haparanda stad. Berättelsen kontrasteras mot en urban syn av Haparandas arkitektur. Det första kapitlet tar upp frågan om makten och identitetsbildningen. Det andra kapitlet diskuterar skulpturernas roll i en viss miljö. I det avslutande tredje kapitlet diskuteras skulpturerna i relation till Haparanda stads historia. Slutsatsen av min avhandling tyder på att skulpturerna är väl kopplade till Haparandas historia och dess nära relation till tvillingstaden Torneå (Finland). Det är en historia som har en nära koppling till Finlands historia.This thesis focus on Haparanda's historical identity by analyzing 14 public sculptures in Haparanda. The aim is to present a representative picture of the public sculptures and to analyse its historical connection to Haparanda in realtion to a urban view of Haparanda's architecture. The first chapter adresses the question of power and identity formation. The second chapter discusses the role of sculptures in the collective view of a particular environment. In the concluding third chapter the sculptures are discussed in relation to the history of the city of Haparanda. The conclustion of my thesis suggests that the sculptures are well connected to the history of Haparanda and its close relation to the twin city of Torneå (Finland). It is a story closely connected to Finlands history.

Full textAbstract:
En 1790, les autorités locales pensaient que la période révolutionnaire sonnait le glas des villes de parlement. Supprimer les institutions d'Ancien Régime et les ordres religieux qui marquaient les espaces et les sociétés de ces neuf capitales régionales depuis des dizaines voire des centaines d'années signifiait ôter tout rayonnement à ces villes quasiment dépourvues d'industrie ou de commerce de grande ampleur. Paradoxalement, à la fin du premier tiers du XIXe siècle, Besançon, Dijon, Douai, Grenoble, Metz, Pau, Rennes et Toulouse étaient plus peuplées et plus étendues qu'en 1789. Seule Aix-en-Provence ne parvenait pas encore à se remettre de la crise révolutionnaire. De nouvelles fonctions, essentiellement militaires, avaient alors pris la place des magistrats et des hommes d'Eglise. En quelques dizaines d'années, les villes de parlement avaient été complètement redéfinies. Comprendre les conséquences de la suppression des anciens principes structurants des espaces urbains ainsi que celles de la mise en place de nouvelles fonctions urbaines implique d'analyser les espaces urbains du passé à l'aide de problématiques de géographe, donc d'avoir recours à une démarche géo-historique. Celle-ci a particulièrement été appliquée au cas de Toulouse à l'aide du Système d'Information Géographique (S.I.G.) de la ville : Urban-Hist. Cet outil a permis d'analyser l'ensemble des mutations urbaines de l'époque à l'échelle de la parcelle avant de chercher à savoir si les phénomènes alors observés ne concernaient que l'ancienne capitale de Languedoc ou s'il est possible de dégager un modèle de l'évolution des villes parlementaires avant, pendant, et après la RévolutionIn 1790, Toulouse authorities thought that when the French Revolution had suppressed all the Parliaments in the kingdom, they had also destroyed the parliamentary cities. Indeed, there were almost no industrial, commercial or other important economic activities in these administrative and judicial centers. Despite these suppressions, Besançon, Dijon, Douai, Grenoble, Metz, Pau, Rennes and Toulouse were already larger and more populous at the end of the first third of the 19th Century than they were in 1789. Aix-en-Provence was the only one which still suffered from the revolutionary crisis. Some new urban functions took the place of the magistrates and the churchmen. It took only a few decades to redefine the former parliamentary cities. In order to understand this phenomenon and its consequences on the urban spaces of the past we will use some geographical perspectives: we will use a geo-historical method. We will mainly focus on the case of Toulouse thanks to the Geographical Information System (G.I.S.) of this town: Urban-Hist. This tool provides much useful information which can help us understand the changes in the former capital of Languedoc. Were these changes specific to Toulouse or were they representative of the group of continental parliamentary cities before, during and after the French Revolution?

The aim was to understand the functioning of the organism, its development potential and current problems. Solved plot is located in the heart of Old Brno at the intersection of Pekařská and Anenské. The concept of development should be based on a triangular plot, and its position in relation to the nearby center. The concept of functional layout must respect the basic operational and functional requirements, especially sunlight residential space and solving noise pollution. The aim of this proposal is viable urban area and a functional recovery, which evaluates and develops the character entered. Urban and architectural concept development triangular tip should reflect and complement the character of the site appropriately and its existing buildings.

Full textAbstract:
Fondée par Darius Ier (522-486 av. J.-C.), Persépolis constituait une des résidences royales temporaires des souverains de l’Empire achéménide (550-330 av. J.-C.). Elle était également un centre administratif et économique, capitale d’une vaste province, la Perse, située au cœur de l’Empire. L’organisation de Persépolis reste largement méconnue de même que celle du vaste territoire, la plaine environnante, qu’elle contrôlait.Notre étude vise à mieux comprendre d’une part l’occupation du site de Persépolis qui va de la terrasse monumentale à la nécropole royale à 6 km au nord, d’autre part la mise en valeur de la plaine, en replaçant la période achéménide dans le contexte plus large du Ier millénaire av. J.-C. Dans un premier temps, l’étude prend en compte les dynamiques environnementales de la région. Les recherches sont fondées sur les méthodes de prospections archéologiques (reconnaissances à vue et méthodes géophysiques). Elle aboutit à une reconstitution d’une ville répartie en plusieurs blocs de fonctions différentes (habitats ordinaires, zones artisanales, résidences de l’élite et bâtiments de prestige) séparés les uns des autres par de vastes espaces non-bâtis mais probablement aménagés.Pour la plaine (100 km par 30 km), la prospection des sites achéménides a dû prendre en compte les graves destructions liées à la modernisation (agriculture, urbanisation, voies de communication) et s’est concentrée sur quelques sites préservés et des zones de piedmonts sélectionnées. Ces recherches ont montré une occupation très distendue essentiellement localisée dans la partie nord de la plaine et incluant la zone de Persépolis. La partie sud de la plaine était beaucoup moins exploitée. Cependant cette reconstitution doit tenir compte de la réduction sévère du potentiel archéologique, tout particulièrement dans le cadre de l’étude de l’occupation à la période achéménide, lorsque l’exploitation du sol reposait sur des installations rurales de dimensions modestesFounded by Darius I (522-486 BC), Persepolis represented one of the seats of the kings of the Achaemenid Empire (550-330 BC). Moreover, the site served as an administrative and economic centre and acted as capital for the vast province, named Persia, situated in the heart of the Empire. The spatial character of both the royal site as well as the wider hinterland it controlled, the vast surrounding plain, are however largely unknown.The study aims at providing better insight in both the occupation of the site of Persepolis, stretching from the monumental terrace to the royal necropolis 6 km farther north, along with that of the supporting plain. It therefore frames and evaluates the Achaemenid period within the context of the first millennium BC. At the outset, the study integrates the environmental dynamics of the region. The research was based on the methods of archaeological survey (field survey and geophysical methods) and allowed to reconstruct a ‘city’ composed of different functional zones (common housing, industrial quarters, elite residences, and royal monuments) separated from one another by large areas, presumably unbuilt though exploited.For the plain (100 by 30 km), the survey of Achaemenid sites was biased by the important destructions by recent development (industrialised agriculture, urbanism, transport and communication). Research has therefore been focussed on a number of preserved sites on the one hand and on selected piedmont areas on the other. These surveys brought to light a scattered occupation, predominantly situated in the northern part of the plain, also encompassing the Persepolis zone, while the southern region of the plain was less occupied. Nonetheless, this reconstruction should take into account the important reduction of archaeological potential, particularly in the case of a study focussing on the Achaemenid occupation since settlement in the wider Persepolis area was first and foremost of rural natural and of rather modest size

Full textAbstract:
À la recherche de ses limites, de son mode de gestion et des orientations pour son développement, sans modèles et sans références claires, le nouveau développement des villes laotiennes dans de tel processus, est mal maîtrisé. Il explicite des difficultés certaines dans la construction des cadres de vie de qualité. Il met aussi en évidence la désolidarisation de la ville par rapport à ses structures primitives composées par ses racines historiques : ses habitants et leurs pratiques, ses centres anciens en tant qu'espaces hérités et référencés. À partir des années 1995 et 2000, espaces ou centres historiques sont modifiés peu à peu parallèlement à l'apparition de nouveaux quartiers, aboutissant à une recomposition spatiale, d'où la difficulté à identifier les centres historiques et à délimiter le territoire urbain lui-même. Les liens entre les villes qui se développent et leurs espaces anciens qui fonctionnaient jusqu'alors comme leurs lieux de référence, de cohérence sociale et de structuration spatiale, sont fragilisés. Les notions de centre historique et d'habitat ancien et le mode d'habiter la ville ont été, pour ainsi dire, altérés, corollairement à l'altération de la notion même de ville. La ville, son espace, ses composants sociaux, politiques et symboliques, en tant que matrice structurante et identitaire, semblent être aujourd'hui reniés ou négligés. À ce constat, développé dans la première partie de la thèse, sont apposés dans la seconde partie les regards introspectifs (dans le fondement culturel et humain qui a forgé les caractéristiques des établissements lao) et rétrospectifs (dans l'histoire et le temps de la construction spatiale) sur l'espace des villes laotiennes. Ces regards permettent de déceler la période qui s'étend entre 1975 et 1990 comme responsable des ruptures. Le redéploiement idéologique du nouveau régime, accompagné de nouveaux dispositifs spatiaux intervenus dans cette période, aurait apporté des transformations importantes dans la perception de la ville et de son histoire, dans la pratique spatiale, dans la manière de gérer et de développer la ville. En négligeant les centres historiques et leurs principes fondateurs, on néglige en même temps les facteurs pédagogiques des espaces hérités. Les pouvoirs publics et les habitants occupaient respectivement l'espace, durant cette période, pour les uns, suivant une projection idéologique de collectivisation des biens, et pour les autres, suivant une pratique d'occupation sans acte d'appropriation. Entre la période où les villes évoluaient sans trop s'écarter de leurs matrices de fondation et les moments où elles se développent dans une profonde recomposition avec difficultés et handicaps, caractérisant la période actuelle, les années 1975 et les années 1980 semblent constituer une période transitoire, illustrée par la notion de " ville absente " et par le phénomène de " squattérisation publique. "La réflexion menée dans cette recherche est de démontrer que les difficultés de la période actuelle sont liées à la période transitoire, que la stratégie de développement urbain et territorial en cours doit probablement être mise en œuvre en revisitant les expériences de ces années transitoires. Ce qui avait été négligé, telles la notion de ville comme composant hérité de l'histoire, la notion de citoyen habitant de la ville, la notion de création, de gestion et de partage des espaces, devraient probablement être replacée au cœur des préoccupations des décideurs et des habitants. Dans ce nouveau contexte régional, c'est aussi en interrogeant ses propres données endogènes ou endogénisées tout au long de l'histoire, que le Laos pourrait constituer ses modèles d'espace et de développement adaptés et durables
