This study investigated the main aspects and consequences of urban regeneration in the context of sustainable development, using the example of the town of Tivat, whose radical urban transformation was initiated in the post-referendum transition period after 2006, when decision-making policies created a new environment for development. The focus of the research was the impact of the Arsenal brownfield regeneration on the urban development of Tivat in Montenegro, following its decades-long transformations from industrial settlements (military shipyard) to the “new town” of Porto Montenegro (the center of nautical tourism), which is 10 km away from the UNESCO World Heritage site in Kotor, which had a strong influence on the development of Tivat. The theoretical and empirical research was focused on three aspects of sustainability. This study identifies key parameters that indicate the specific causes and consequences of the urban transformations, as well as impacts of nautical tourism on the development of a particular tourist destination with accompanying sustainability factors. The urban regeneration of Tivat, as an example of an urban laboratory in the Mediterranean, can be used for comparative measurements of the success of the brownfield process of regeneration of various tourist destinations in the context of sustainability.
Abstract. This paper defines basic terms of movement and system of reference points in a city. We can conclude that primary difference in the perception of space and spatial orientation depends on the fact whether the subject lives in the city or he is a foreigner to that space. In this respect, we can conclude that when it comes to space orientation, foreigners mostly rely on visually and dimensionally strong and visible reference points, which can simultaneously be historical or morphological in terms of their character. On the one hand, the subject who is familiar with the area typically moves within a system of individual reference points. Individual system of reference points does not necessarily require any of the physical features that recommend an object as a reference point. On the other hand, there were numerous theories among which Lynch, after conducting a series of experiments related to space perception, pointed out that orientation depends solely on one's ability. Based on the analysis of the system of reference points, position of focus points and their relations, we can conclude that Podgorica, as most towns in Montenegro has a problem in terms of visual readability.
The paper deals with the influence of eight most developed countries (G8) to climate changes, as well as with reflection of those changes to other countries of the world, which have the same right of the planet as a common home. The beginning of 21st century, technological expansion, economic shifting, the struggle for dominance in economic resources, economic turbulences due to lack of an idea on economic prosperity are the factors which put over than 3/5 of the Earth's population in an unenviable position. The influence of „giants“ to climate changes and decisions regarding planet's preservation, puts without an alternative over 6 billion inhabitants in a position of second class citizens which do not have the power required for resistance to the influence of the strong economic lobby of highly developed countries.
Rad kronološki identificira promjene u političkom i identitetskom smislu koje su utjecale na arhitektonske koncepte na području povijesno važnog lokaliteta Lovćena, a koji su ostavili vrlo autentičan arhitektonski izraz iz razdoblja od 19. stoljeća do danas, mijenjajući svoj oblik, funkciju i simbolizam. Rad istražuje četiri povijesna i arhitektonska ciklusa, s naglaskom na umjetnički diskurs Ivana Meštrovića i Harolda Bilinića.
Daylight analysis as a tool for energy efficiency enhancement in existing buildings is considered in this paper. Through the analysis of five types of exterior static shading devices, horizontal, as well as, vertical, the guidelines for their designing, implementation and possibilities in using of building repairing are given. Also, methods for evaluation of their impact on distribution of daily illumination, viewpoint towards the environment and thermal comfort in general are presented. In the case study, the building of Agency for Electronic Communications and Postal Services in Podgorica, Montenegro, and sophisticated software tools that enable impact analysis and precise designing of exterior static shading devices are considered. The results are presented through the examples.
