Abstract:
pe research is a highly relevant topic for interdisciplinary sciences such as astrosociology, space anthropology as well as science and technology studies (STS). In recent years, space research in Kazakhstan has increased beyond the study of the Baikonur Cosmodrome alone and its influence on the formation of space landscapes in neighbouring regions. One example of this research expansion is the Ulytau region, where space infrastructure sites and «space» memory places can be found, the union of which can be considered as a separate case study of the Ulytau space landscape. The purpose of this article is to provide a primary overview of the space landscape of the Ulytau region, based on the materials of field studies of the cities of Zhezkazgan, Satpayev, Zhezdy, the villages of Karsakbai, Baikonur, Shalginsky, Ulytau in the period from 2020-2023. The main part of the study will be presented in the form of a register – a list of places of memory related to the theme of space. This register will include places of memory associated with the first Baikonur cosmodrome, monuments of historical and cultural heritage located near the space infrastructure and places associated with meetings of cosmonauts. The register will be complemented by descriptive analyses based on archival and museum materials, as well as oral histories collected during expeditions. Using a methodology based on Pierre Nore’s concept, the study will examine the visibility and invisibility of places of memory, and analyse how the theme of

Abstract:
In this panel, focusing on place in terms of Landscapes of Care, Richard Wiliams, Sotiria Alexiadou with Vassilis Colonas, and Joao Gadelho Novais Tavares examine urban architectures through a shared aperture of film, thereby showing an engagement with the historical, spatial and ‘social production of space’.1 The temporal dimension of film opens up for analysis of the places of their individual studies in historical, real-time and fictitious dimensions, showing how visual images contribute to understandings of the care of places and peoples. Lars Rolfsted Mortensen’s photographs of dams in the Swiss Alps raise broader questions about place and our need for care of the landscape. The photographs present us with the ambivalence of sublime infrastructures that are both destructive and removable interventions in Alpine ecosystems but vital for green energy.

Abstract:
Mapping Footprints: Lost Geographies in Australian Landscapes is a research project in development that explores the relational qualities of places and contemporary perceptions of geography. It reflects on new mapping technologies that have the capacity to reinstate relations between subjects and places via a spatial exploration that engages with inventive and specific uses of location sensing technologies informed by physical and cultural contexts. The Elvina rock engravings in Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park are the site of a location-sensitive sound installation in which we integrate the specificities of landscape with a navigational medium. A sonic map is overlayed over the physical terrain, opening up the site as a place embedded with memories, creating the potential for spontaneous exploration and new understandings of place. The ‘map’ in Mapping Footprints is composed from the geographical narration of the cartographers’ exploration across Indigenous mediascapes.

Abstract:
Objective: Some of the parliament buildings have public open and green spaces nearby. For instance, United States’ Capitol Building has Capitol Grounds, Germany’s Reichstag Building has Platz der Republik Park and Spreebogen Park, The Palace of Westminster of United Kingdom has Victoria Tower Gardens. These spaces originated as green public spaces associated with state. The parliament buildings are often landmarks. Their green spaces enhance the spatial quality. Green spaces make parliament buildings more attractive places to visit and work. There is no landscape architecture research on Türkiye’s first parliament building’s green space so called Millet Garden. The objective of this study is to identify historic features and evaluate components. Material and Methods: The research is structured in qualitative research method and consists of four parts. The first part includes theoretical framework. The explanation of research design and the implementation of data collection method is the second part. The third part contains description of the site. The fourth part constitutes analyses the components of historic landscape in details. Results: This study reveals the importance of the Millet Garden by evaluating it in terms of landscape architecture. Conclusion: This study touches upon the importance and benefits of historic landscapes. Finally, the study revealed some directions for further studies. architecturally impressive landmarks. Their green spaces enhance the spatial quality. Green spaces make parliament buildings more attractive places to visit and work.There are some research on historical parks of Turkey, but a more specific research on Ankara Millet Park is lacking. This research aims to identify historic landscape features, analyze and evaluate components of the Turkey’s first parliament building’s public green space, which is called Millet Park (Millet means Nation is Turkish). The Millet Park is considered as the first designed public park of Ankara. The research is structured in qualitative research method and has five parts. The first part includes theoretical framework. The explanation of research design and implementation of data collection method is in second part. The third part contains description of the research area. The fourth part constitutes analyses in detail the components of historic urban landscape. Finally, the research is concluded with a reccomendations and directions for further studies. This research touches upon the importance and benefits of historical public landscapes in Turkey.

Abstract:
Saving problem of important cultural, historical and natural heritage always remains relevant. The main problem of the research is to study the growth points of a new ideology of space in the cultural landscape of Kazakhstan. The overcoming of thinking forced styles of the Soviet era opens up the prospects for the formation of a new ideology of space and the renationalization of identifiers as the steppe memory, national cultural code and sacred places. The new ideology development of space at the initial stages of Independence had a more spontaneous character of “people’s canonization”; initiators were as a rule the patriotic citizens. In 2017, the state is implementing the national project “Sacred Geography of Kazakhstan” aimed at the restoration of historical and cultural territories, sacred places and commemoration of historical memory. According to the project, sacred places can and should become growth points of national consciousness uniting the nation around the living history. The article considers sacred places as a recreational space of the cultural landscape. The authors propose classification types of sacred places that should contribute to the accumulation of all layers of national identification into a single whole. In addition, based on the classification methodology of sacred places, the authors of the article have attempted the typology through the prism of axiology, differs from the developed criteria for the special project selection.

Abstract:
The links among public space, landscape, and contemporary art are the central theme of this paper. In shaping a landscape design essay for a public park on a silted waterfront in the city of Ilhéus - BA, Brazil, dynamic alter-natives are introduced for the renovation of the public space, based upon the diversification of common uses. The purpose is to build a connection between landscape and art through the re-signification of the natural and cultural processes of the specific site, which may promote a new collective sense of place. The work presents as its theoretical support studies that look at the landscape from its active aspect and discuss the extended field of contemporary art. The paper concludes stressing the importance of the active role of landscape architecture in urban places reconfiguration. Key-Words: Landscape architecture, Urban park, Contemporary Art

Abstract:
Pictures and spaces, like literary texts, tell a story. This chapter, together with the Survey's envoi, tackles a range of these stories. At our first two sites we focus on painted landscapes in suburban villas (the Villa ‘Farnesina’, and the Villa of Livia at Prima Porta, near Rome). The next two, the famous but now mostly lost Horti Sallustiani and Porticus of Pompey, open a window onto the political and civic role of peri-urban Roman landscape gardens. Rounding off the survey, a stroll around the parkland of the emperor Hadrian's villa near Tibur (modern Tivoli) uses the contemporary site to reflect on villa visits then and now.

Abstract:
In the residential districts built after the Second World War, the qualities of landscapes are not, in most cases, taken into account in understanding projects nor are they considered as a resource in renovation projects except as a “compensatory greening” once the main spaces have been divided, privatized and fenced off. We suggest considering this residential landscape heritage as a potentially structuring one, through the landscape approach, based on three levels for interpreting space: that of the relation to the geographic and urban site; that of the neighborhood defined by its open and public spaces; and lastly, that of the materiality of places and practices. We see it as relevant since it is more global and adapted to the current context of projects.

Abstract:
Drawing on French anthropologist Marc Augé and his seminal book Non-Places (1995) the author pays attention to the transformation of contemporary urban landscapes. In thinking trough the dialectic of place and non-place, this paper aims to account for the apparent sense of placelesness in our cultural landscapes and in increasingly globalised world. If we want to ask fundamental questions about what has happened to our urban landscape and to the spirit of cities during the last decades then the concepts of place and non-place help us to describe the actual changes. Besides, Augé’s work gives us the methodological tools to address philosophical questions about the nature of supermodernity and the relationship between modernity and postmodernity moving toward new conditions of globality. This article will attempt to apply anthropological and philosophical concepts of place and space to the context of Lithuania, comparing the ways of spreading of non-places (non-lieu) in the Soviet modernity and contemporary global, hyper-visual and liquid cultural landscape.

Zhang, Zhi, Yu Gao, Sitong Zhou, Tong Zhang, Weikang Zhang, and Huan Meng. "Psychological Cognitive Factors Affecting Visual Behavior and Satisfaction Preference for Forest Recreation Space." Forests 13, no. 2 (January 18, 2022): 136. http://dx.doi.org/10.3390/f13020136.
Abstract:
Background: People are paying increasing attention to urban forest landscapes, and recreational landscape spaces (providing recreation and viewing functions) are an important part of the urban forest landscape. Visual tracking technology is a flexible and accurate modern research method. When this technology is applied to forest landscape evaluation, it can assist in explaining the content that could not be studied in depth in the past and has high application value. However, although an eye tracker can tell us what the user is looking at, it cannot tell us why they are looking at it or how they feel after seeing it. To this end, we combined a 7-point spatial cognition questionnaire and satisfaction preference to understand the visual behavior (fixation point time, number of fixation points, etc.) and preference satisfactions of users in recreational landscape spaces to help designers understand what elements attract people’s visual attention and improve the design of these spaces. Methods: We used eye-tracking and cognitive questionnaires to obtain experimental data and used factor analysis and linear regression analysis of SPPS 23.0 to analyze data. Main purpose: Clarify the factors affecting people’s visual behavior and satisfaction preferences in forest recreation spaces to provide theoretical guidance for planning and designing forest landscapes. Main results: (1) Places with more frequent eye movements have relatively lower satisfaction preferences; (2) The spatial perception factors affect participants’ visual behavior, and satisfaction preference is different based on many indicators (WCB, WSO, WSN, SSH, etc.) in forest recreation space; (3) The professional background education affects the participants’ visual-behavior evaluation of the recreational landscape space and also affects the participants’ focus on the landscape preference. When the spatial type of forest recreation space changes, the spatial perception factors that affect the participants’ visual behavior and satisfaction preferences also change. Based on the above, we suggest that in forest recreation space, the spatial perception indicators should be improved according to the characteristics of space itself, then improve the satisfaction preferences for the scene in a targeted manner to make participants produce effective and positive visual behavior. Meanwhile, for a well-built forest park, we should provide the landscape node with the best visual effect and satisfaction preference for tourists from different professional backgrounds on the park’s tour route map based on the characteristics of the forest recreational landscape space.

Abstract:
Translation in linguistic landscapes greatly contributes not only to place branding, but also to the urban attractiveness for investment and student mobility. In recent years, the Russian urban space has seen an increase in the number of bilingual linguistic landscape elements–navigation signs, advertisement, informational audio messages. The paper analyses elements of Moscow’s linguistic landscape with the special focus on newly opened popular places to determine the level of translation culture. The results are compared to those of previous studies from other cities of Russia to conclude on the dynamics in the attitude towards translation in linguistic landscapes. According to the results, the higher culture of translation is observed at privately owned places, which are interested in their promotion. Transport hubs and street navigation, in turn, display consistently low dynamics. The study reveals a change in the attitude to translations–the number of bilingual elements in the linguistic landscape of Moscow is decreasing, which may be due to geopolitical changes.

Abstract:
In modern landscape architecture design, various types of landscape space art constitute the overall effect of landscape architecture. Effective design and utilization of landscape space and reasonable organization of the relationship between plants, water bodies and activity places can greatly improve people’s aesthetic view of the environment. In modern landscape architecture design, the application of space art is a key content, and space exists objectively relative to time. In the actual process of urban construction, it is necessary to consider the basic character of landscape architecture and the hierarchy of mass demand development, add artistic content to modern landscape space, and give full play to the practical effect of landscape space. Space art is widely used in modern landscape architecture design, and more and more attention is paid to it with its own characteristics. Therefore, this paper will explore the space art in modern landscape architecture design, which is of great significance to improve the use and quality of space environment.

Abstract:
This study seeks to find appropriate landscape patterns of campus based on students’ preferences. A photo questionnaire containing scenes of different types of campus landscapes was distributed among 200 students in University of Tabriz, Iran. The results emphasized the importance of vegetation, seating areas and water features of campuses. Also, students prefer open spaces consisting of lawn and grass (M = 3.31, S.D. = 1.00). Students also prefer a campus, which has a natural base, landscape elements and seating places, while the least preferred (M = 2.96, S.D. = 0.89) scenes comprise a large amount of hardscape. Students had a different preference for landscaping of open study area and leisure time place where the studying area should be designed with vertical natural elements. Shading trees and benches were also highlighted as very important furniture for these places. In terms of spatial organization, the content analysis revealed that these areas should be open and spacious. Places for leisure time need to be decorated with informal landscape design for creating a pleasant view. Designing a landscape with various forms will make these places more pleasant. Scenes of curved paths and colourful plants for these places showed a positive association with student socialization activities.

Abstract:
The article discusses the possibilities of interdisciplinary collaboration between archaeology and cultural anthropology/ethnology. What seemed some decades ago unthinkable, due to the elusiveness or inaccuracy of oral tradition perceived from the archaeological side, has recently provided new perspectives for understanding space, the key concept that links both humanistic disciplines. The article shows some basic theoretical concepts, enabling interdisciplinary collaboration between the two disciplines. The key elements which connect the two disciplines are space, the oral tradition attached to it and collective memory. The traditional perception of space can offer a better understanding of some archaeological materials. The oral tradition embedded in the landscape can give us some understanding of the continuity of symbolic values of places, such as liminal spaces or elements of mythical landscapes.

Abstract:
This paper engages with one of the potential sources to which the experience of being lost, or misrecognising the landscape, that is so common in Beckett's work might be traced. Linking Beckett's often ignored early collection of short stories, More Pricks Than Kicks, to the abstract landscapes of the post-war fiction, allows us to trace an interest in unsettled places to a much earlier point in Beckett's work than is usually allowed. The interest in antiquities so prevalent in the early fiction emerges from a larger national conversation in Ireland about the preservation of the Gaelic past in the face of capital's push for abstract space. This work of preservation was begun by the Ordnance Survey in the 1830s, and the Survey's abstract representations of a landscape fractured by colonialism bears many resemblances to Beckett's early landscapes, which this paper traces. The tendency towards placelessness was already a key component of Beckett's most placed early work – he recognised that the landscape of Ireland was radically alienated from itself.

Abstract:
Customary and traditional villages, also called vernacular cultural landscapes, are local settlement units whose inhabitants adhere to ancestral beliefs. It is important to conduct research on vernacular cultural landscapes in Indonesia, given the usual and concerning degradation of cultural landscapes. Different places have different cultures and different customary rules and habits. Each has its uniqueness and distinctiveness, so there is no one standardized approach or method that can be adapted to study the vernacular cultural landscape. Different places may require different research approaches or methods; even the same place if studied under a different topic or time frame, may also require a different approach or method. There are research approaches commonly used by the researcher of the vernacular cultural landscape, including phenomenology, narrative study, case study, grounded theory, and ethnography. This article will review one approach that can be an alternative for the researcher of the vernacular cultural landscape, namely Symbolic Interactionism. Symbolic Interactionism is an approach that can be effectively applied to study human groups, community life, and social interactions. Symbolic interactionism is able to reveal the relationships that occur naturally among members of the society, particularly the relationship between intangible symbols, rules, norms, and daily activities, with tangible things such as the formation of space, buildings, circulation, and other physical configurations.

Abstract:
Landscape Linguistics is a study that focuses on the use of language in public spaces, both monolingual, bilingual and multilingual. The purpose of this study is to analyze the linguistic psychology of landscapes in public spaces on Buru Island. The research method used is qualitative. In this study, researchers took sources from the nameplate or baleho found on Buru Island, precisely in Namlea Village. The data sources are several photos in public places on Buru Island. Analysis of research data, namely when researchers collect the results of information board documentation scattered on Buru Island, all of the documentation is classified according to their respective characteristics, namely, signboards, billboards and other information. Then the meaning and function are determined by using Landscape linguistic studies. The results of the study found that in the public space of the Buru Island community there were two variations of the language used, namely Indonesian and the Maluku dialect, as well as the Landscape function, namely Formal and Informal

Abstract:
Liminality of the Cultural Landscape
According to Tim Ingold, cultural landscape is not „land” nor „space”, but is a dweller’s narration on the reality that surrounds him or her. This narration is in permanent process, it grows with the society that lives in a certain place, parts of it die with the people that pass away. Although it is subject to individual reception, some narrations are shared by many. Therefore it is both personal and social phenomenon. This narrative landscape is full of borders and spheres that are built on symbolic values of places and objects. In traditional societies it has been well visible – one could easily distinct the narration of the forest from the narration of the village. In the modern world the landscape has gone through a major transformation, nonetheless it kept crucial mechanisms of its construction. Contemporary multi‑sited landscapes or virtual landscapes also contain borders and spheres, are individual and shared by many. This article presents recent changes in the approach to the liminality of the cultural landscape, differences that were experienced when passing from traditional to modern society. This change is particularly visible when comparing generations: new global generation (generation Y, generation Z) has a different experience of the landscape than generation of their parents and grandparents – who had grown in a still local and territorially defined places. But new landscapes do have borders and spheres, however their shape may be slightly different.

Abstract:
Understanding emotions is necessary to analyse underlying motivations, values and drivers for behaviours. In landscapes that are rapidly changing, for example, due to land conversion for intensive agriculture, a sense of powerlessness of the inhabitants can be common, which may negatively influence their emotional bond to the landscape they are living in. To uncover varied emotional responses towards landscape change we used an innovative approach that combined transdisciplinary and artistic research in an intensively farmed landscape in Germany. In this project, we focused on the topic of favourite places in public spaces, and how change in such places was experienced. Drawing on workshops and interviews, we identified themes of externally driven societal and internal personal influences on the public favourite places. “Resilient” emotional responses towards landscape change showed a will to integrate the modifications, while “non-resilient” responses were characterised by frustration and despair. We argue that identifying emotions towards change can be valuable to strengthen adaptive capacity and to foster sustainability.

Abstract:
This paper attempts to analyze modern urban space in the context of intercepting the effects of biopolitical production by means of a conceptual apparatus taken from urban landscape studies. Among the discussed sections of urban space, which illustrate the issue undertaken in this text, there are first and foremost places that focalize and intertwine practices of urban design, landscape architecture, design and media initiated by local governments, institutions, and private investors. All of these practices strive to create a new type of urban landscapes, characterized by their simultaneous functioning as sights and as “urban stages.” Following from the above findings, this paper aims to describe the listed forms of land use in terms derived from cultural concepts of landscape, considering the latter to be a useful tool for explaining the relations between modern urban subjects and the environment they exist in.

Abstract:
The paper proposes a typology of rural public places, actually functioning in the social life of villages, pointing out the distinctness of this system from the public space of cities or even suburban villages. The research was conducted using the method of interviews in 21 villages located in eastern Poland. A total of 124 interviews were conducted thanks to which 169 public places were identified and characterized. The result of analyses is a typology that includes 8 basic types of rural public places: Multifunctional village squares; Grocery surroundings; Other service facilities surroundings; Sacred sites; Village streets; Neighborhood space; Recreational places; Semi-natural places. Most of them are unintentionally created places. The research shows that multifunctional places - both central and typically recreational - are crucial for rural areas, while semi-natural places are the most characteristic. However, we did not find any basis for distinguishing a separate category including arranged greenery, representative places or club spaces. This is due to the specific character of the rural landscape, the small population, and the nature of relationships between residents.

Abstract:
The article offers insights in the design practice of Maria Auböck and János Kárász, landscape architects in Vienna, Austria. The purpose of this text is to mark the occasion of us being awarded honorary professorships at MATE University. The selected methods describe the mission of Landscape Urbanism by presenting a variety of projects, each of them has a history and story of its own. The chosen design methods described include selected inspirations, for instance sketching on site, the choice of plant material and constructive challenges. The main methods applied offer varied aspects of team building, following questions for work cooperation. How can clients be motivated to consider time as a building material that extends beyond their decision-making horizon? How can affordable and attractive landscapes be created based on the insight that within these we are able to provide even added value in economic sense? How can sophisticated empty spaces be introduced in urban sites, and get public acceptance without overstaging them? To summarize the presented project palette the title “Open Spaces – Dynamic Places: S M L XL” was chosen as the article includes selected works in different scales. The projects include aspects of inner city renovation by example of a baroque monastery’s courtyard and art in public spaces (a memorial of a destroyed synagogue), explaining landscape designs for subsidized housing quarters and the urban greening of Baku- in four steps. The main aspects of the conclusion deals with landscape urbanism, a new field of planning in the challenging time of Climate Change.

Abstract:
Language as it appears in the public space is at the centre of investigations into linguistic landscapes. Language agents immersed in a given geo-historical context contribute to the construction of spatialised meaning and to the transformation of space into place. The visibility of a language in a linguistic landscape does not just index a reality, i.e. the use of one or more languages within a community, but contributes to the symbolic construction of a given space. The current study aims to investigate the peculiarities of place-making and -marking of the Slovenian-speaking community in the area of Trieste via an analysis of written signs displaying the minority language. The paper will show that the tension resulting from achieved equality in the legal status of Slovenian and the perception of unequal power relations between different ethnic groups is reproduced in the construction of the local linguistic landscape. The final part of the discussion will suggest that public use of the Slovenian language is central to the performance of a material border.

Abstract:
Abstract “Reframing Landscape” explores three distinct landscapes that have been decisively impacted by conquest and colonization, reframed by three artistic interventions: painting, photography, and sculpture. August Earle shows us the de-forested landscape of 19th century New Zealand, still guarded by a Maori totem; Miki Kratsman photographs a wall mural in occupied Palestine that erases the presence of indigeneous people; and Antony Gormley anticipates the clearing of Manhattan by a pandemic in whirlwind of metal. Real spaces and places are converted into landscapes of attention into what has been lost and what is to come.

Abstract:
Nine axioms for interpreting landscapes from a geoscience perspective are presented, and illustrated via a case study. The axioms are the self-evident portions of several key theoretical frameworks: multiple causality; the law–place–history triad; individualism; evolution space; selection principles; and place as historically contingent process. Reading of natural landscapes is approached from a perspective of place formation. Six of the axioms relate to processes or phenomena: (1) spatial structuring and differentiation processes occur due to fluxes of mass, energy, and information; (2) some structures and patterns associated with those fluxes are preferentially preserved and enhanced; (3) coalescence occurs as structuring and selection solidify portions of space into zones (places) that are internally defined or linked by mass or energy fluxes or other functional relationships, and/or characterized by distinctive internal similarity of traits; (4) landscapes have unique, individualistic aspects, but development is bounded by an evolution space defined by applicable laws and available energy, matter, and space resources; (5) mutual adjustments occur between process and form (pattern, structure), and among environmental archetypes, historical imprinting, and environmental transformations; and (6) place formation is canalized (constrained) between clock-resetting events. The other three axioms recognize that Earth surface systems are always changing or subject to change; that some place formation processes are reversible; and that all the relevant phenomena may manifest across a range of spatial and temporal scales. The axioms are applied to a study of soil landscape evolution in central Kentucky, USA.

Abstract:
This article focuses on magnetic places in Riga Soviet residential areas – locations which are differ from ordinary spaces due to their naturalness, possibility of restoration, perceived beauty and possibility to appropriate such places. This paper utilises two theoretical fields – the one of evolutionary aesthetics in dealing with such elements as prospects and refuges that is crucial for survival, but also phenomenology dealing with mental maps and subjective perception of space. The method in use is semi-structured interviews, since they provide a valuable in situ material for proving a theoretical thought. It can be concluded that the magnetic places that often are as much as 200 m far from the interviewees’ homes are more attractive than the location outside their window. This finding is in stark contrast to Oscar Newman’s Defensible Space Theory. There are also few recommendations for landscape architects included in this text: one of those is to not only invest more resources into the design of magnetic places, but carefully design the ordinary places. The latter should be done not only in order to avoid the arousal of no-go areas in a residential complex, but also because any ordinary space has a potential of becoming a place.

Abstract:
Abstract. Fauna impacts its environment as well as spatial environment influences fauna space use. Forest management implies taking into account pressure from animals in fragile-balanced patches. Our goal is to propose maps that would benefit forest planning by reflecting individual movement and space use depending on the animal species and local spatiotemporal environment. The study case focuses on two species, roe deer and red deer, and on a forested site in the northeast of France. Movements of several individuals were analysed from collected GPS locations. Foraging places likely to correspond to intense research behaviour were computed using the First-Passage Time method. These places were assumed as being of interest and were characterized with landscape features and temporal information. Maps were produced to synthetize information about foraging places by defining adapted symbolizations. Then maps about functional space were proposed based on extrapolation of favourable or avoided areas from the characterized observed foraging places and space use. Landscape patches were mapped according to a gradient of potential interest by animals’ species, in order to highlight needs of specific planning actions in the forestry context. Map displays were driven by forestry end-use and designed so that to be compliant to a numeric geographical portal, giving access to different available on-line layers and computed created ones.

Abstract:
Prioritize Indonesian, Master Foreign Languages, Preserve Regional Languages is a mandate from Law No.24/2009 which indicates that as Indonesians we are encouraged to use the unified language in public spaces and communications. The problem in this study is how to use the form and function of the language landscape used in naming roads, apartments, hotels and places to eat/drink in the city of Makassar, so this study aims to describe the form and function of the language landscape used. This research is a qualitative descriptive research. The data in this study are street names, apartments, hotels and places to eat/drink in public spaces in the city of Makassar. The collection of research data was carried out using observation, reading, recording, and data classification techniques. Research data were analyzed using qualitative data analysis techniques using an objective approach. The results of the study show that variations in the language landscape based on language policies in public spaces in the city of Makassar consist of 8 types, namely Indonesian, Bugis, Makassarese, other foreign languages, Indonesian and Makassar languages, Indonesian and Bugis languages, Bugis languages and Indonesian languages. Makassar, English and Indonesian. Based on the findings, it is suggested that the participation of all policy holders is urgently needed so that Indonesian and regional languages are not dominated by English and other languages. Apart from that, the awareness of the Indonesian people needs to be built to prioritize the Indonesian language, and to preserve regional languages in terms of naming in public spaces.

Abstract:
The colleges and universities campuses are places which function in teaching and living. Thus the rest space of a campus is one in which students learn and interact with each other culturally. Therefore, the designers should design a place for rest and activities in accordance with the requirement of the campus environment and embracing the characteristic of humanized landscape effect on the basis of adaptation to local conditions. Meanwhile, they should make it as a miniature of campus material civilization, which in some degree reflects the cultural and spiritual connotation so as to design a campus environment of new era full of cultural atmosphere.

Abstract:
We have already thought about how Golden Age imagery influences understanding of what landscape should be about, and we will return later to issues of chronology and temporality. Here, we start with some strategies for reading landscape as a sequence of places that can be combined to tell a story. One definition of space makes it what we experience by moving through a series of places, which we connect up into patterns by picking particular routes to follow. Using this model, landscape stories invite us to move into and around them, offering different ‘ways of going out and coming back in’, depending on how we map our route. Following the narrative flow through a landscape takes time. Time, however, is relative – and culturally constructed; depending on context and terminology, time can move at different speeds and follow different logics. Bakhtin's chronotope is helpful here. Using the natural environment to create a structure for understanding how time passes gives meaning and order to the passage of the year. For agricultural communities, it was a matter of life and death: studding the calendar with legends and myths closely linked to places, seasons, and appropriate activities was one way to ensure that good and bad ways of doing things were remembered over time. Calendars therefore engage in a complex dialogue with religious and cultural assumptions, and they also respond to scientific advances in measuring the passage of time.

Abstract:
The landscape, in Le Maître de chasse, is first of all an external landscape that nevertheless allows access to the inner world of the characters. Then, it is the poetic landscape that is constructed by association and contiguity to offer a place of freedom which is in contrast to the places of political oppression. As a manifestation of historical truth, the landscape occupies the space of silence and the unheard-of political and social reality of postcolonial Algeria.

Abstract:
The objective of this article is to prove the legitimacy of implementing sustainable development in health resorts. The main focus is on health resorts in Poland, but the European context was also taken into account. Particular attention is devoted to public space and landscape that have been changing in recent years primarily as a result of measures described as revitalization or regeneration. Furthermore, examples of pro-environmental initiatives conducted in Polish health resorts over the last five years are presented. With the responsible use of the considerable natural, cultural and landscape assets health they are usually “equipped” with, health resorts can be a model for sustainable development. The article is based on an analysis of literature, source documents (legislation, reports, revitalization programmes, development plans) and websites as well as field observations (direct inventory). It is important, however, to implement remedial measures and build and maintain the image of health resorts as tranquil places with unique landscapes of therapeutic value and attractive public spaces.

Abstract:
- The history of western landscape can be conceived as the conquering of ‘non-places', by which is meant above all unknown lands with a reputation of being ‘horrendous' or uninhabitable, that are gradually brought under control, assigned a cultural value and subsequently transformed into ‘places' and landscapes. These are generic spaces without any clear history or identity. Airports, intersections and shopping centres, as well as the residual spaces associated with these, are just some examples of environments that Augé refers to as ‘non-places'. In order to breach this impasse, it becomes necessary to relinquish a privileged relationship that links one's living environment with an image of protection, the latter being associated in turn with archetypical places. By the same token, one must resist the temptation to classify an area as a ‘place' or ‘non-place' without prior examination or analysis. Various methods capable of altering our perception of urban areas can be used to set this process in motion.

Abstract:
By 2030, we should have universal access to safe, inclusive, and accessible green and public places, especially for women and children, the elderly, and people with disabilities, according to the Sustainable Development Goals. However, the increasing privatisation of land and gentrification of the urban landscape is putting a limit on the amount of public space available for people to express themselves and use the city as they desire. This paper investigates and reviews the literature on defensive architecture, as well as its historical foundations, definitions, implementation, and reason for existence. The findings provide a clear reflection on the growing awareness of extreme defensive landscape architecture typologies such as spikes and other aggressive measures. Finally, the paper offers worldwide best-practice examples and recommendations for ensuring inclusion and safety in public spaces. We argue that in order to design sustainable public spaces, a holistic approach that considers both intangible values and social inclusion is required.

de San Eugenio Vela, Jordi, Joan Nogué, and Robert Govers. "Visual landscape as a key element of place branding." Journal of Place Management and Development 10, no. 1 (March 6, 2017): 23–44. http://dx.doi.org/10.1108/jpmd-09-2016-0060.
Abstract:
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to propose an initial, exploratory and tentative theoretical construct related to the current consumption of landscape as a key symbolic and physical element in territorial representation and evocation, and for the deployment of place branding strategy. It constructs a line of argument to support what shall be referred to as “landscape branding”, that is, the paradigmatic role of landscape in place branding. It is, therefore, of interest to define the value of landscape as a social and cultural construction, which is why the paper awards importance to the specific analysis of their capacity for visual and/or aesthetic evocation within the context of a general branding strategy for geographical spaces. Design/methodology/approach To develop a sufficient proposal for sustaining “a theory of landscape branding”, the paper deploys a meta-analysis, that is, an extensive review and interpretation of the literature related to visual landscape and place branding, to propose a tentative initial approach to landscape-infused place branding theory. Findings The relationship existing between landscape images and texts and their possible situating and subsequent interpreting within the context of the political, cultural and economic logics of contemporary society give rise to a renewed analytical framework for cultural geographies (Wylie, 2007). At this point, place branding becomes a recurring argument for the consumption of carefully staged places, representing, to use Scott’s terms (2014), the arrival of a cognitive-cultural capitalism characteristic of post-Fordism. Practical implications From a practical perspective, the landscape branding approach provides several benefits. First of all, regardless of the fact that many commentators have argued that logos, slogans and advertising campaigns are relatively ineffective in place branding, practitioners still seem to be focussed on these visual design and advertising tools. The landscape branding approach facilitates an identity-focussed perspective that reconfirms the importance of linking reality with perception and hence reinforces the need to link place branding to policy-making, infrastructure and events. Social implications Landscapes’ imageability facilitates visual storytelling and the creation of attractive symbolic actions (e.g. outdoor events/arts in attractive landscape and augmented reality or landscaping itself). This is the type of imaginative content that people easily share in social media. And, of course, landscape branding reiterated the importance of experience. If policymakers and publics alike understand this considerable symbolic value of landscape, it might convince them to preserve it and, hence, contribute to sustainability and quality of life. Originality/value The novelty lies not in the familiar use of visual landscape resources to promote places, but in the carefully orchestrated construction of gazes, angles, representations, narratives and interpretations characteristic of geographic space, which somehow hijack the spontaneous gaze to take it to a certain place. Everything is perfectly premeditated. According to this, the visual landscape represents a critical point as a way of seeing the essence of places through a place branding strategy. In this sense, that place branding which finds in visual landscape a definitive argument for the projection of aspirational places imposes a new “way of seeing” places and landscape based on a highly visual story with which to make a particular place desirable, not only for tourism promotion purposes but also with the intention of capturing talent, infrastructures and investment, among other objectives.

Abstract:
The author refers to the elements of cultural landscape (natural and architectural objects) of Russian town, Kizhinga. The most important questions he tries to answer are: how can places, objects and spaces coming from different symbolic orders create a coherent cultural space and how have the meanings and connotations of local spatial forms changed? What is the result of the clash between local native traditions and state ideology, 20th century Soviet style modernization, and attempts to recreate traditions and ethno-cultural identity in a small-town space at the turn of the 21st century.

Abstract:
Henry David Thoreau remarked that he had traveled widely—in Concord, Massachusetts. An intentionally contradictory statement, it is nonetheless true if the landscape is composed of many interpenetrating biomes and cultural uses. Fields and forests, groves and gardens, towns and temples form the tesserae of a landscape mosaic embodying the interpenetration of culture and nature, and while such elements provide diversity, they can also, paradoxically, mold integrity. The integrity of nature, in the sense of the completeness of the ecosystem that is present in a place, invests that place with power and lays a claim on sentient beings. Mosaic landscapes have a higher degree of biological diversity than monocultures because they manifest ecotonality, and they are spiritual stimuli for the psyches of those who live within and travel through them. Maintaining the variety of elements within the mosaic, and preventing effacement by huge, land-altering projects where "culture" disregards nature, is a moral imperative. The arrangement of tesserae in a particular landscape mosaic must not be haphazard, but should make both cultural and natural sense, following the underlying geology, the paths of celestial events, and the places where myth and history have resonated, binding cultural meaning to the fabric of the land. Such a pattern leaves areas of varying habitats where biodiversity may flourish. In a future when humans will inhabit the Earth sustainably, the concept of the landscape mosaic may serve as an organizing principle.

Research for landscape architecture 19, no. 2 (January 27, 2022): 176–89. http://dx.doi.org/10.36253/rv-11412.
Abstract:
This contribution aims to describe commons practices in marginal landscapes from the perspective of the design disciplines – landscape and urban design and architecture – as special collective forms of transfer of tangible and intangible values. Case studies in the Alps and Apennine context support the analysis. Specifically the paper investigates the role of commons to explore how these practices in urban and rural areas can be different for their relational capacity and strength, but are also complementary in enabling forms of inclusive habitat. Commons in marginal landscapes are examined through the lens of landscape design and space transformation to detect structural challenges and dynamics but also to propose an alternative narrative. These places need the innovative potential of commons to steer a necessary upgrade in the management and use of material and immaterial resources.

Abstract:
In the face of contemporary urban problems such as the chaotic development of communication and build-up and residential area, reducing to amount of public places, recreational and greens spaces, the city is facing the choice of methods to deal with these problems. It's the end of an era, when the city authorities authoritatively take decisions. Residents have the ability to unite, decide how space around their home should look like and putting these visions into reality.

Abstract:
Garden landscape not only provides people with places of rest and entertainment, but also protects the natural environment and maintained ecological balance. Although the traditional garden architectural style could retain the classical landscape style, the modern garden facilities and conditions had been greatly improved, and people’s expectations for the construction level of garden landscape continued to improve. Therefore, the effect of traditional landscape design could no longer meet the requirements of social development. This article proposed an interactive genetic algorithm-based landscape space environment optimization design method, in order to provide a certain theoretical reference for landscape design. Firstly, by analyzing the relationship between landscape and buildings, the change in people’s demand for landscape space environment and the relevant characteristics of landscape, this article expounded on the basic principles and methods that landscape design should follow and gave the problems existing in landscape design. Secondly, the interactive genetic algorithm and its innovative design theory were summarized, and the optimization design method of garden landscape space environment based on interactive genetic algorithm was proposed. Finally, the evaluation index system of landscape spatial environment was constructed, and experimental analysis was carried out with a landscape design as a case. The results showed that compared with the traditional landscape design methods, the design scheme proposed in this article could achieve better evaluation results. The optimization design method of landscape space environment proposed in this article could provide some technical support and theoretical reference for landscape architecture and design.

Abstract:
As a main place for student activities on campus, outdoor spaces have positive impacts on students’ physical and mental health. Namely, outdoor heat and comfort are of great significance to improve activity quality. Here, four unique outdoor spaces were studied to explore the varying effects on human thermal comfort during hot-summer and cold-winter periods. Distinct outdoor spaces (fully open, semi-open, semi-enclosed, and fully enclosed areas) from the southern campus of Anhui Jianzhu University were chosen. The PET was used as a metric for measuring thermal comfort and analyzing correlated spatiotemporal distributions. The results showed that outdoor thermal comfort was derived from multiple factors, including vegetation, underlying surface materials, building presence, and wind-heat environment. Notably, high correlations between Tmrt and thermal comfort were revealed, where such temperatures of places with trees or building shade were low; thus, PET was low. Further, Ws showed a significantly negative correlation with PET. Of the four outdoor space forms, the fully enclosed location had the lowest thermal comfort level, while the semi-enclosed spaces showed the highest level of body comfort. Therefore, semi-enclosed space (U-shaped) is recommended in campus planning and construction. Accordingly, an improved strategy was proposed based on experimental transformation for fully enclosed spaces. The thermal comfort after optimization was simulated to provide references for outdoor space thermal comfort improvement during seasonal extremes.

Abstract:
The work of time-making is always a work of the present, and even in its driest form, the archaeological chronology, is a political process. Archaeological practices which make time from space necessarily dissect unified material landscapes into temporal slices, ‘cuts’ of time and space that can either mute or give voice to past interactions with material landscapes, engagements sometimes called ‘the past in the past.’ Despite the fact that historical and archaeological remains in India are often central to political contestation, the structures and objects studied by archaeologists and art historians are typically viewed as straightforward exemplars of past periods, dynasties, or cultures, disappearing from gaze as they leave the period to which they ‘belong’. This article considers some forms of interaction between people and places in southern India—from ashmounds to megaliths to temples—interactions ‘out of time’ according to traditional archaeological practice, but which reveal past contestations and concerns. Such forms of landscape history require both analytical techniques such as chronologies which divide time, as well as landscape-based approaches which can heal those divisions by allowing past action ‘out of place’ to be made visible.

Abstract:
Abstract:Ethnic groups living in the Mandara Mountains are assumed to be segmentary in structure, which is why scholarly literature portrays them as egalitarian societies. The configuration of the architectural landscape reveals a different reality. This article shows how the architectural landscapes of the Mandara Highlands are ideologically constructed to represent and legitimize hierarchies between clans and individuals. Physical entities appear as particular elements of social space, and as places socially constructed and tinged with ideologies. These fieldwork-based observations provide the foundation for interrogating the meaning of egalitarianism in African society.

Abstract:
In many areas of China, the transformation of the built environment under reform is claiming traditional buildings to create new space for industrial development. The rapidity of growth, urged by the state, characteristically imposes new order on the landscape and reorders the places built by people motivated by different chronological logics, of seasonality, ritual, and the human lifepath. As if just in time to testify on behalf of endangered traditional landscapes, Ronald Knapp has produced China's Old Dwellings, which provides unprecedented coverage of the design and distinctive structural characteristics of regional housing forms.

Abstract:
The events of the russian-Ukrainian war, especially the last year and a half of its active phase, show how death and dying strongly fixed in space and place. The ability of spaces and places associated with death (cemeteries) and dying (places of death – spontaneous memorials) to evoke the deepest memories and intense emotions are a testament to the power of place and a reminder that the power of symbolic space is in emotion, not function. One of the expressions of collective grieving is memorial sites, whose choice has a deep symbolic meaning. Through careful anthropological analysis of burial sites and memorial sites, the intense emotional experiences associated with death, including grief, bereavement, and reminiscence, can be understood. Funeral and memorial practices are mediated by several spaces – the body (corporeal), the place of death/dying, the morgue, the cemetery, the crematorium, the memorial of memory, the virtual space of the cyber world – the networked martyrologists. The conflict arising from the ongoing performance and recording of memory in public space is reflected in debates about expressions and markers of private grief in public spaces and related disputes about what constitutes a ‹sacred› place. The tragedies of civilian deaths during shelling are part of what are becoming new ritual forms and memorials, constructing a permanent memory of the dead in the material landscape of lived space. The tradition of designing memorials during the russian-Ukrainian war creates a «register of sacred history» – a set of shared historical experiences and views that define and unite the community. Processes of memorialization after a tragic death, which are increasingly taking place in public, are becoming medialized and are used by the state as a political tool. The nature of the memorial landscape creates a specific style of communication, in which the entire society is engaged in spatial dialogue.

Abstract:
Conventional description, interpretation and design processes for public space enter into crisis in the geography of the 20th-century sprawling city denoted by enclosures. In this complex geography, often coinciding with that of drosscape, heterotopias of deviation raise thorny issues in the contemporary urban landscape. Role and shape of these now obsolete heritages must be rethought starting with the enclosure walls, a representative element of the heterotopical identity of these places.This paper explores burial landscapes, lastscapes, as a chance for urban fragments surrounding them. These places should be interpreted as hypertopias and no longer as heterotopias, rather than “other spaces” they should be considered as public spaces. With this purpose, three design strategies are proposed, using northern European case studies: a project of rooms, a project of margins, a project of layers.

Abstract:
This contribution focuses on the study of Linguistic Landscapes in the Central/Western African state of Cameroon, with particular reference to its capital, Yaoundé. Linguistic landscapes is a relatively recent area of research, and can be broadly defined as the visual representation of languages in public space. This paper will show that the field of linguistic landscapes can act as a reflection of linguistic hierarchies, ideologies and acts of resistance in multilingual and multicultural communities. At the same time, the sociolinguistic situation in the country will be investigated, which is paramount to understanding the linguistic and ideological conflicts between the anglophone minority and the francophone government. Cameroon’s linguistic landscape will be explored via the various spaces that English, French, Pidgin English, Camfranglais and, to a minor degree, indigenous African languages occupy in its sociolinguistic composition. The methodological design is quantitative in nature, involving collecting more than 600 linguistic tokens (digital photos) in various public places mainly in and around the Cameroonian capital of Yaoundé. It will be demonstrated that the deployment of languages on signs and linguistic tokens, apart from serving informative and symbolic functions for the audiences or passers-by they target, also has social and political implications in an ethnically heterogeneous and linguistically hybrid society such as Cameroon. Whereas in some other former British colonies there are indications that the public space is being symbolically constructed in order to preserve some of Africa’s indigenous languages (e.g. in Botswana, Rwanda, Tanzania), in Cameroon the linguistic landscape almost exclusively focuses on the dominant status and role of one single language, i.e. French, and to a lesser extent English, whose speakers therefore feel marginalized and oppressed by the French government.

Abstract:
The manipulation of landscape and the technological use of its views can be a strategy for place-making and a way of creating architecture and making it original. The methods used for this can be different, for example, by mechanically revealing and obscuring views, optical or film projection, directing the viewer to specific frames, using mirrors, etc. This approach is alternative and somewhat in opposition to the natural incorporation of the object into the landscape. In modernism, different architectural views of the surroundings were tested and used differently. These experiences are now transposed to contemporary architectural objects thanks to technological developments and the scenographic shaping of space. The article refers to the sources of transferring landscape views in popular dioramas and the effects of the development of photography, cinematography, and IT media. It describes the possible consequences of perceiving such a created landscape and more general—the world. An example of such a means of expression being fully and consciously taken is the now-defunct Charles de Beistegui Paris apartment. It was designed by Le Corbusier and Pierre Jeanneret in 1929–1931. The apartment was selected for analysing as a case study and confronted with contemporary realisations that use various creative techniques involving the landscape.

Abstract:
A case study of the renovation of New York City's Bryant Park, this article revisits the end of public space thesis. the renovated park signifies not the end of public space but the new ends to which public space is oriented. in Bryant Park, a new logic of urban publicity was assembled and built into the landscape. the social and technical means by which this transformation was achieved are analyzed. New public spaces of this sort promulgate a conception of the public that is decoupled from discourses of democratization, citizenship, and self–development and connected ever more firmly to consumption, commerce, and social surveillance. If such places do not herald the end of public space, they do represent “publicity without democracy.”
