Abstract

Inspired by the Chicago School sociology and anthropology of Mary Douglas authors of the article show the special cultural status of new urban peripheries in comparison to villages, old urban peripheries and city centers. Critically they relate to the thesis that new urban peripheries are “cultural deserts” or “bedroom/dormitory suburbs”, considering them as a form of collective organization or sustained activity patterns that replace an original kind of culture. According to Mary Douglas villages are characterized by low level of social energy and high degree of collective control, and the city centers are characterized by high level of energy and low collective control. Referring to this classification the authors of the paper claim that new urban peripheries are characterized by both low energy and low collective control. A more detailed characterization of a new urban periphery is presented in the article on the basis of materials collected in several qualitative sociological research projects. In the light of the empirical material, it can be revealed that in new urban peripheries direct forms of collective control have been replaced by social non-interference, development of individualistic self-control and privatization of micro-spaces of living and transporting. It was noted that the intensive development of individualized outdoor activity leads to gradual formation of the new body type of a new urban periphery resident.

Abstract

Starting from the consideration that sustainability of landscape heritage is logically coupled with today’s sustainable development needs, the research explores the general ideas, methods and strategies of ancient Chinese urban water management. Based on the traditional Chinese water management experience from the ancient city of Ganzhou, the paper — analyses the current water landscape heritage in Jiangxi Province, China.
Based on the historic experience and knowledge introduced and analyzed in the case study of Ganzhou, it is possible to define rainwater management principles and sustainable development strategies for modern urban landscape that could be the basis of a new research perspective in facing today’s climate anomalies.

Abstract

The high numbers of residents and dense urban fabric of buildings and infrastructure found in cities mean that extreme weather events have a particularly severe impact on them. Furthermore, urban development is itself an important element of climate change.
