In a post-industrial world one of the foci of urbanism has been on the regeneration of former industrial sites along urban rivers. This is a contemporary urban design issue that needs further attention, especially in relation to urban forms and design interventions. This paper sets out to contribute to research in design by reviewing past theories and practices in order to inform the formation of conceptual ideas. These are of importance to inform practice and ensure responsive and responsible processes in planning and design. Such a review has hitherto been lacking, but with a renewed interest in urban densification, research in the design of cities is required. Thus, this paper provides a critical assessment of theories, which are identified and categorised in relation to urban riverside regeneration. For this study, urban design is considered as a craft requiring ‘savoir faire’ to ensure the functionality and quality of urban spaces. Transferable principles and ideas are identified in relation to the specific characteristics of riverside locations contributing to the definition of a ‘riverside urbanity’. It provides a theoretical framework identifying types of riverside landscapes, including the relationship between urban forms and river corridors.

Публикация посвящена результатам археологических работ в г. Смоленске, проводившихся на берегу р. Днепр. Выявлен культурный слой, находки древнерусского времени, а также XVI–XVII вв. и XVIII–XIX вв. Установлено, что ранний культурный слой перекрыт мощными отложениями позднего времени или подсыпками техногенного происхождения., The report deals with results of archaeological excavations which took place on Dnieper riverside in Smolensk. The excavations revealed occupation layer and findings of Old Russian period as well as artefacts of XVI–XVII centuries and XVIII–XIX centuries. The results showed that earlier occupation layer was covered by thick sediments of later period or banking of anthropogenic nature.

Resumo: Apresenta análise cognitiva dos registros de representação semiótica produzidos pelos alunos investigados durante atividade de modelagem, abordando a temática do manejo sustentável do açaí - devido ao fato de a cultura desse fruto ser prática predominante na região -, com o objetivo de identificar as dificuldades na aprendizagem de função polinomial do 1º grau. Nas análises realizadas, procurou-se conhecer também a compreensão crítico-social dos alunos diante de sua realidade. A pesquisa abrangeu 24 alunos do 1º ano do ensino médio modular de uma escola pública de comunidade ribeirinha de Muaná-Marajó-Pará. Verificamos como a realidade em que o aluno está inserido influencia positivamente seu aprendizado quando é realizado um trabalho que resgata seus saberes, tornando-o mais participativo e empenhado nas atividades que lhe são propostas. Abstract: This paper presents a cognitive analysis of semiotic representation registers, produced by the investigated students during a modeling activity. Due to the fact that the culture of açaí is a predominant practice in the region, this study addresses the sustainable management of the fruit in order to identify difficulties in the learning of the first degree polynomial function. The analyses also sought to investigate the critical-social understanding of students before their reality. The study counted on 24 students attending the 1st grade of a public modular high school located in a riverside community in the municipality of Muaná-Marajó in the state of Pará. It can be concluded that the reality in which the student is inserted influences positively their learning when it considers their previous knowledge, and enables them to be more participative and engaged in the proposed activities.

En este artículo se estudia el encuentro entre la ciudad y el río a partir de algunas obras de Jorge Luis Borges y Xul Solar. Se considera este tema, en particular, desde la perspectiva del “regreso” de ambos artistas a Buenos Aires luego de la experiencia europea a principios de los años 20. Respondiendo con ironía y lucidez a los postulados de los nacionalismos y modernismos locales, Borges y Xul Solar, cada uno a su manera, coinciden en redefinir la noción de “orilla”. A partir de esta desubicación dinámica cada uno construye su diferencia. L’article analyse la rencontre entre la ville et le fleuve à partir des ouvrages de Jorge Luis Borges et Xul Solar. Le travail a été réalisé à partir de la perspective du « retour » des deux artistes à Buenos Aires après leur expérience européenne au début des années 1920. Jorge Luis Borges et Xul Solar répondent aux postulats des nationalismes et des modernismes locaux avec ironie et lucidité. Les deux artistes, chacun à sa façon, redéfinissent la notion de « rivage ». Ils construisent leur différence particulière à partir de cette délocalisation dynamique In this article, the author analyzes the encounter between the city and the river through some of the works of Jorge Luis Borges and Xul Solar, notably from the perspective of both artists’ “return” to Buenos Aires after their European experience, at the beginning of the 1920s. Responding with irony and lucidity to the premises of the local nationalisms and modernisms, Borges and Solar coincide, each one in his own way, in redefining the notion of “riverside”. From this dynamic displacement, each one builds his own character.

El artículo indaga narraciones de Juan José Saer y Enrique Wernicke cuyos imaginarios y las zonas de sus diégesis son ficciones ubicadas en la ribera del Paraná o en la costa del Río de la Plata, pero cuyos núcleos de sentido (el tiempo, el mito, la historia) invisibilizan los humedales, a pesar que el relator se arrima a sus orillas en El rio sin orillas. Ensayo imaginario, y en La ribera. L’article enquête sur les narrations de Juan José Saer et Enrique Wernicke. Leurs imaginaires et la zone de leurs diégèses sont des fictions localisées sur les rivages du Paraná ou du Río de la Plata. Cependant, leurs noyaux de sens (le temps, le mythe, l’histoire) rendent les zones humides invisibles malgré la proximité du narrateur des rivages dans El rio sin orillas. Ensayo imaginario, et La ribera. This article explores the stories of Juan José Saer and Enrique Wernicke. Their imaginative worlds and zones of diegesis are fictions located on the Paraná riverside or the Río de la Plata shore. Nuclei of meaning (time, myth, history) make the humid areas invisible, despite the authors approaching their riversides in El río sin orillas. Ensayo imaginario and La ribera.

Las franjas urbanas ribereñas de la ciudad de Corrientes, Argentina, son territorios de gran heterogeneidad en su configuración y con una marcada desigualdad en las condiciones urbano-ambientales y sociales; constituyéndose como espacios periféricos y marginales de la ciudad. Son a su vez puntos dicotómicos de amenazas y oportunidades, por las constantes crecidas del río que expone a sectores vulnerables, por sus condiciones paisajísticas interesantes al mercado inmobiliario, por el funcionamiento del río como un recurso de producción o de subsistencia. Se convierten en ámbitos de disputa, pasibles a procesos de territorialización y desterritorialización frente a esferas de actores en desigualdad de posibilidades y competencias. El objetivo de esta investigación es contribuir al conocimiento sobre las dinámicas de producción de suelo y los procesos socioespaciales de estos territoriosal margende la ciudad y al frentedel río. El trabajo expone los planteamientos metodológicos iniciales y avances preliminares conceptuales, contextuales y de casos análogos de estudio. The riverside areas of the city of Corrientes, Argentina, are territories of great heterogeneity in theirconfiguration and with marked inequality in the urban-environmental and social conditions; constituted in many cases as peripheral and marginal spaces in the city. They are dichotomous spaces of threats and opportunities,because of the river flooding, th eir landscape interesting conditions to the housing market, the functioning of the river as a resource of production, of subsistence. They turn into areas of dispute, sensitive to processes of territorialization and deterritorializationopposite to actors' spheres into inequality of possibilities and powers. The aim of this investigation is to contribute to the knowledge on the dynamics of urban production, and the socio-spatial processes of these complex territories. The work exposes the initial methodological approaches, the preliminary advances of concepts, data of context and analogous cases of study.

The Pre-Pottery Neolithic B (PPNB) site of Tell Halula in the middle Euphrates valley has yielded large quantities of cowrie shells used in the composition of belts and diadems. These shells were discovered in burials as complete items composing ornaments and in outdoor contexts as broken halves. In this paper we shed light on a little known PPNB ornamental practice; the acquisition and display of exotic cowrie shells. Through the multi-approached study of these ornaments, the objective is to contribute to the understanding of the socioeconomic, technological, and symbolic behaviors of the earliest farming societies in northern Mesopotamia and the Levant. Three species of cowries were identified, two originated from the Red Sea and one from the Mediterranean. The technological study indicated two possible methods of perforation and two qualities of finishing, whereas the use-wear analyses detected gradual degrees of marked use (notches) and distinguished thereby two categories of ornaments, the equally and unequally worn ornaments. When combined to metric and to technological data, the unequally worn ornaments appear to be the result of dynamic replacements of broken shells with undamaged ones. Such strategies of maintenances likely ensured a long-term use of cowrie ornaments, highlighting thereby their value. At Tell Halula, people displayed the impressive and exotic cowrie ornaments during their lifetime certainly to claim a strong cultural identity within an open and interconnected Neolithic world, in which the village of Tell Halula had a strategic and important role to play. This community may have also attributed prophylactic qualities to cowrie ornaments, as they were sometimes associated with individuals presenting lesions of diseases. Finally, the types of the ornament (belt or diadem) could have been chosen to distinguish social categories determined by the age of the individuals.

Krajinska zasnova je načrtovalski instrument, ki na podlagi celovite obravnave prostora poda usklajene prostorske rešitve. Omogoča preprečevati parcialne posege v prostor, ki so posledica uveljavljanja interesov sektorskih načrtovanj. Predlog novega Zakona o urejanju prostora (ZUreP-2) opredeljuje krajinsko zasnovo kot obvezno strokovno podlago za izdelavo regionalnega prostorskega plana in občinskega prostorskega plana ter občinskega prostorskega načrta. Magistrsko delo v svojem praktičnem delu testira implementacijo posameznih sestavin krajinske zasnove na način, kot jih opredeljuje omenjeni predlog zakona. Izbrano testno območje obsega širši vodni in obvodni prostor reke Drave v zaledju Ptuja, kjer se pri rabi naravnih in umetnih vodnih teles pojavljajo nasprotujoči si interesi. Celoten širši obvodni prostor, ki je zaradi akumulacije Ptujskega jezera prepoznan kot velik potencial za različne dejavnosti, razvojno stagnira. Z izbrano metodo, sestavljeno iz štirih korakov (analiza, vrednotenje, koncept, krajinska zasnova), je bila na podlagi gestalt obravnave prostora izdelana krajinska zasnova, ki obravnava zaokroženo krajinsko območje, nastalo zaradi razvejane rečne dinamike reke Drave. Z opredeljenim varstvenim in razvojnim konceptom, zasnovo razporeditve rekreacijskih in ostalih dejavnosti v prostoru, usmeritvami za urejanje širšega obrečnega prostora ter podrobnejšimi usmeritvami za urejanje ožjega obrečnega pasu jezera pri mali hidroelektrarni Markovci predlagana rešitev izboljšuje možnosti za razvoj dejavnosti v prostoru ter celostno podobo območja, dostopnost in prehodnost do obstoječih in novo predlaganih točk programa. Krajinska zasnova se je na podlagi testnega primera izkazala kot vseobsežen prostorskonačrtovalski instrument, ki obravnava širok razpon vsebin urejanja prostora, pri čemer se metodologija izdelave in morebitna integracija z drugimi prostorskimi načrti lahko prilagodi konkretni načrtovalski nalogi. Landscape plan is a designer instrument which offers harmonized spatial solutions on the basis of an integrated treatment of space. It enables the prevention of partial space interventions which are the consequence of establishing interests of sectoral planning. The proposal of a new Spatial Management Act (ZUreP-2) defines landscape plan as a mandatory expert groundwork for the production of a regional spatial plan and a municipal spatial plan. In its practical part, the master’s thesis tests the implementation of individual components of the landscape plan in a way, as defined by the above-mentioned act proposal. The selected test area encompasses broader water and riparian area of the river Drava in the hinterland of Ptuj, where conflicting interests with regards to the use of natural and artificial bodies of water emerge. The entire broader riparian area, which is recognized as a large potential for various activities due to the accumulation of the lake of Ptuj, stagnates developmentally. By means of a selected method which is based on four steps (analysis, evaluation, concept and landscape plan) using a gestalt treatment of space, a landscape plan, which deals with a delineated landscape area, created due to branching river dynamics of the river Drava, was produced. By means of defined environmental and developmental concept, plan of the arrangement of recreational and the other activities in the space, directives for broad riparian area management, and more thorough directives for narrow riparian belt of the lake at the small hydroelectric power plant Markovci, the proposed solution improves the possibilities for the development of the activities in space and the integral image of the area with regulated accessibility and transience to the existing and newly proposed points of the program. Based on the test case, it was proven, that landscape plan is an all-embracing spatial planning tool that deals with a wide range of spatial planning content, where methodology and potential integration with other spatial planning instruments can adapt to concrete planning task.

It is thought that the representative forms of health and disease that orientate the popular health practices go beyond the helath-patient professional relationship and are enrolled in the daily activities of the village, within a dynamic which envolves the consensual and the reified universes. It was adopted for the guidance of the study a psychosocial perspective, from the point of view of the Social Representations Theory (SRT), for it contributes to a broader approximation to social reality, promoting a dialogue between the different reified knowledges and the popular knowledge of the riverside dwellers and privileging the common sense produced on the group and the tacit knowledge of the daily health situation. It is a qualitative approach study with cross-sectional design, based on the SRT processual and structural approaches. The multimethodological strategy of the data collection combined four techniques for the identification of the different representation frames: participating systematic observation, survey, free association and semi-structured interview. The complementary use of different methodological strategies of data collection and analysis is intended to help in the best understanding of the social reality studied and evaluate the abilities, behaviors and relationships between the individuals and the context. The representations of health and disease of the riverside dwellers envolve distinct elements from the reified knowledge and the common sense, which are overlapped and alternated, and can be complementary on healthcare actions, depending on the itinerary made by the subject. Disease is seen as something localized in the body; care is associated to biomedical technology and health is opposed to disease; mystic-spiritual dimension is privileged in both representations, which converge to the popular health practices performed by the riverside social group and guide the subjects' choice on the search for the therapeutic itinerary to be gone through, under the official professional or folk knowledge, according to the needs, availabilities and wishes of the group. Both knowledge forms are present on the healthcare practices performed on these communities by the healthcare professionals, retranslating the official knowledge, and by the local knowledge specialists. Thus, the logic established upon the social representations of the group may include, simultaneously, going to the healthcare service and use allopathic medicines and self-blessing, using plants and teas, praying and turning to a witch doctor. These caring practices take part on a cultural trace of the group and form a set of norms and criteria included on the common sense knowledge which comprise, for example, the act of blessing and the use of homemade medicines as internalized actions on the communities, and demonstrate the identitary relation owned by the subjects through their beliefs, faith and religiosity, and the knowledge transmitted from the ancient ones and specially from close relatives, transgenerationally and between people from the same generation A investigação está centrada em apreender as representações sociais de saúde e doença e sua relação com as práticas de cuidados de saúde em três comunidades ribeirinhas do município de Porto Velho. Pensa-se que as formas representativas de saúde e doença que orientam as práticas populares de saúde vão além da relação profissional de saúde-paciente e estão inscritas nas atividades cotidianas do povoado, em uma dinâmica que envolve os universos consensual e reificado. Adotou-se para a orientação do estudo uma perspectiva psicossocial, sob a ótica da Teoria das Representações Sociais (TRS), pois contribui para uma maior aproximação à realidade social, promovendo um diálogo entre os diferentes saberes reificados com o saber popular dos ribeirinhos e privilegiando o senso comum produzido no grupo e o conhecimento tácito da situação cotidiana de saúde. Trata-se de um estudo de abordagem qualitativa, de natureza descritiva com delineamento transversal, baseada nas abordagens processual e estrutural da TRS. A estratégia multimetodológica de coleta de dados combinou quatro técnicas para a identificação dos diferentes planos das representações: observação sistemática participante, questionário, associação livre e entrevista semiestruturada. O uso complementar de diferentes estratégias metodológicas de coleta e análise de dados visa auxiliar no melhor entendimento da realidade social estudada, e avaliar as habilidades, os comportamentos e as relações entre indivíduos e o contexto. As representações de saúde e doença dos ribeirinhos envolvem elementos distintos do saber reificado e do senso comum, que se justapõem, se alternam e podem ser complementares nas ações cuidativas de saúde, a depender do itinerário realizado pelo sujeito. A doença é vista como algo que se localiza no corpo; associa-se o cuidado à tecnologia biomédica e a saúde em oposição à doença; privilegia-se a dimensão místico-espiritual em ambas as representações, que convergem às práticas populares de saúde realizadas pelo grupo social ribeirinho e orientam a escolha dos sujeitos na busca pelo itinerário terapêutico a ser percorrido, seja por meio do saber profissional oficial, folk ou popular, de acordo com as necessidades, disponibilidades e anseios do grupo. Ambas as formas de saber estão presentes nas práticas de saúde realizadas nessas comunidades a partir dos profissionais de saúde, retraduzindo o saber oficial, e dos especialistas de saber local. Desta forma, a lógica que se estabelece a partir das representações sociais do grupo pode comportar, ao mesmo tempo, ir ao serviço de saúde e utilizar remédios alopáticos e se benzer, usar plantas e chás, orar e recorrer ao curandeiro. Essas práticas cuidativas fazem parte de um traço cultural do grupo e formam um conjunto de normas e critérios contidos no saber do senso comum e incluem, por exemplo, o ato do benzimento e o uso dos remédios caseiros como ações internalizadas nas comunidades, e demonstram a relação identitária que os sujeitos possuem por meio das crenças, fé e religiosidade, e do conhecimento transmitido pelos mais antigos e principalmente por familiares próximos, transgeracionalmente e entre pessoas da mesma geração

Grad Osijek razvio se uz desnu obalu rijeke Drave prema kojoj je usmjerena prostorna i funkcionalna gravitacija šireg gradskog centra. Prostorne i krajobrazne karakteristike obala Drave izrazito se razlikuju prema namjeni, razvoju i uređenju s negativnim predznakom lijeve obale. Trenutno je uloga područja lijeve obale Drave sportsko rekreacijska, s bazenskim kompleksom, improviziranom gradskom plažom, stazom za trčanje te osnovnim koridorima komunikacija koji naglašavaju zasebna odredišta, ne stvarajući funkcionalnu mrežu sadržaja i tipološki različitih komunikacija. Proučavanjem prostornih i povijesnih okolnosti te analizom šireg i užeg područja obuhvata s naglaskom na razvoj postojećih karakteristika i sadržaja utvrđeni su prostorni potencijali razvoja lijeve obale. Odabranom vizijom razvoja oblikovale su se smjernice uređenja razmatranog obuhvata s naglaskom na krajobrazno oblikovanje Dravske plaže. Konceptualizacijom smjernica uređenja predložena su tri varijantna idejna rješenja, različitih pristupa oblikovanja, kojima se prožima vizija razvoja obale stvarajući pritom prepoznatljivi prostorni identitet lijeve obale Drave. City of Osijek has developed along the right bank of the river Drava towards which the spatial and functional gravity of the city center is directed. The spatial and landscape features of the riversides are distinctly different to the purpose, development and organization with the negative sign of the left river bank. Currently, the role of the left bank is sport and recreation, with a swimming pool complex, an improvised city beach and basic corridors of communication that emphasize individual destinations, not creating a functional network of contents and typologically different communications. Considering the spatial and historical circumstances and by analyzing the broader and narrower areas with an emphasis on the development of existing characteristics and content, the spatial potentials for the development of the left bank are determined. The chosen vision of development has shaped guidelines for the design of the considered area with an emphasis on the landscape design of the Drava beach. The conceptualisation of the design guidelines proposed three variant conceptual designs with different approaches, which permeate the vision of the riverside development, creating a recognizable spatial identity of the left bank of the river Drava.
