Proposal Maps & Sketches

Indicative block redevelopment proposal by creating underground parking which does not offend the traditional aesthetics of the surrounding buildings and regeneration of the area above the parking. The space next to the parking will be public, with pavement, to accommodate those who park their vehicle. Along with the construction of a pedestrian path there will be planted trees in order to form green public spaces.

uring the course "Urban Space and Urban Transport" students In the second phase of work, the aim was to develop a new bus line and were asked to study the urban transportation system of the city the calculation of its operating characteristics. Thus, it was necessary to Dof Veria. In particular, it was assigned to each group of students make an initial assessment of the degree of service to residents by the

to study a city bus line as far as its operating characteristics are already existing routes. The assessment showed that there are areas in concerned. The study group consisted of three people and the project the city of Veria that are not served by the existing route network. One of was completed within a month. these areas is the north part of the city, which is a purely residential area

and the standard way to access the city center is by car or taxi. Based on Specifically, my group initially was asked to study a suburban route the needs of local residents for work and services we designed a new bus connecting the city of Veria with two neighboring villages. We recorded line, along with its the accompanying supporting infrastructures, while the bus stops and the main land uses that are adjacent to the route. we estimated the zones of influence and the areas to be served by the Furthermore, we recorded the duration of the route, the length of it and implementation of the new line.the average speed of the vehicle as well as the zones of influence of the bus line. On this basis, we have reached conclusions on the reasons that have led to the creation of the specific route which are work and the centre of Veria.

This research paper examines the interactions between Space and The methodology used includes literature and web research, as well as Culture, through comparative study of two populations: the Slav- field research. It was necessary, to perform an autopsy on the two speaking Greeks of Papagiannis, Florina and the Vlachs of Vlasti, Kozani. (major) areas studied (Vlasti- Papagiannis) to make a connection The study of two populations is based on the theory of the French between the bibliography and the collected data, to which we even go historian Fernand Braudel, developed in the book "Grammar of back over the course of processing the reports. Thus, a complete picture Civilizations." This theory connects features of the man with the natural of the culture of each region was built. As regards to the part of the environment. These two populations were selected in order to apply to bibliographic research, the material that was used had to do mainly with them the theory of Braudel (as a case-study), as it was interesting to ethnic characteristics of each region as well as studies that were focused study a culture with long history of movements (such as the residents of on cultural, economic, social, etc. points of each region. Having collected the Vlasti) compared to a cultural group that was relatively stagnant, at and studied all the data, they were organized according to the theory of least the period that we study (such as the inhabitants of Papagiannis). In Braudel: those that concern and relate to the geography, society, both cases, the temporal dimension of our research starts from the Late economy and finally the collective mentality, with a spatial reference to Ottoman Period (18th century) and leads to the present. The questions Geocultural Units. As a result we ended up with conclusions mostly that we put on focus in one hand on the influence that a movement about the connections between space and culture.might have on culture and on the other the interaction between human and natural environment.

Space and Cultural Formation

Comparative study of the Vlahcs from Vlasti, in Kozani, and the Slav-speaking, local people of Papagianni, in Florina.

Possible Answers: 1. Movement = change/ Immobility= stability 2. Every cultural aspect (geography, society, economy, collective feeling) are directly connected to space and its characteristics

Theoretical background

Theoretical Background = F. Braudel’s Theory (Grammar of Civilisations - 1963)? Culture Definition? Connection among Culture, Geography, and Human Space (society, economy, psychological structures and ethics)

In this thesis: [(Space + Sociological Clues + Economical Clues + History) + Tradition and Cultural Clues] + Geocultural Units = Conclusion

Signficant clues of the theory:? Geocultural Units’ Network? How cultures interfere when they contact other cultures? Time continuity? Observation of a culture as a whole

In this thesis: two cases of neighbor cultures in their whole history, that their basic differences are origin, language and movement, or not, in space

Methodology:? Theoretical background selection --> F. Braudel? Bibliographic research? Web- online research? Field research + interviews --> connection between bibliographical+internet sources and further gathered clues

? “Classification” according to Braudel’s theory: Geography, Society, Economy and Collective Behaviors? Geocultural Units: the tree cultures under study were “settled” on space and were matched to the characteristics of each case

Parallalel Study: A Culture with a significant movement- immigration (Vlasti+Moschopolis)/ A Cultural Group which didn’t move

Questions regarding:1. The influence that probably movements have on a culture2. The influence between human and natural environment

Culture could be described as a network of characteristics, that according to its “position” has a different structure. This structure depends on the historical background of every area- unit (geocultural units). The most representative description for such a network is the example of a rope that consists of different kind of fibers- different geocultural units (as shown on the picture).

Vlachs: Shepherds, settlements in high latitude, forest landscapes? People of Moschopolis- Vlasti: urban environment, common environmental and climate conditions --> reason of migration from the one to the other village

F. Braudel: Connection between physical space + economical, sociological, cultural etc characteristics

Cultures are Geographical Areas, Societies, Economies,

Conclusions

Demolition of the original hypothetical answer: Movement= change/ Immobility = Stability

Instead

Movement= partial change= partial stability

A culture might change after a movement, but this transition probably happens in a smaller scale when the moving population shows a higher educational, living, economical etc level in comparison to the population that already exists in the area of resettlement.

On the contrary,

A culture that is static in space on the one hand may keep almost all of its original characteristics unchanged. On the other hand, the changes that may come are due to the characteristics of the geocultural units that either already existed, or have been formed later in the area.

Three questionnaire types:

1. Owners of recreation- evening businesses (personal interview) - 90% of the total businesses

2. Owners of commerce- morning businesses (personal interview)

3. Local recreation followers (online questionnaire) - 360 answers until September- the questionnaire is still running collecting data

Thoughts about turning the commerce (morning) business into recreation (evening)

Follower’s other recreation preferences in Thessaloniki

the blog’s poster that was placed around the city Statistic clues regarding the blog’s visitors, via Google Analytics

the idea and the result:

1. the goal was to apply a part and a form of participatory planning. Through the blog it became possible to open a social dialog regarding not only our analysis methodology but also our proposals.

2. it is understood that applying participatory planning only through internet is not the correct method, as it excludes a major part of the society (ex. elders, poor etc)

3. the result was more than satisfactory as the “Valaoritou issue” came to the foreground, and it was proved that (up to a point) participatory planning can help to maintain spontaneous development in an area.

Correlation of visitation’s duration and choice’s reason

the only danger for recreation’s development is the service quality downgrading and the loss of the alternative cultural background
