  • O MĚŘÍTKU A KOMPLEXNOSTI A NUTNOSTI ÚZEMNÍ ANALÝZY

    About the Scale, Complexity and Necessity of Spatial Analysis, by Carl Steinitz

    The best definition of the term design is that given by Herbert Simon: „Everyone designs who devises courses of action aimed at changing existing situations into preferred ones.” (Herbert Simon: The Sciences of the Artificial, 1968.) The author of this contribution comes from a professional and cultural background, having started as a student at the Faculty of Architecture before going on to study urban and regional planning. As lecturer at the Department of Landscape Architecture, Mr Steinitz was in charge of studies in landscape planning for more than 40 years. In his opinion and experience, to work successfully within a spatial scale comprising algorithmic thinking and the ability to perform spatial analysis is very different from what is now taught and used in practice by most planners. Dealing with the problems of scale and complexity means tackling two special topics under which varied design activities and methods of spatial analysis are distinguished. Contrasts lacking clarity or even confused in practice are intentionally highlighted in this reflection.

    Urban Traffi c Restrictions in Favour of Pedestrians, by Vlaďka Kirschner

    Car traffic is continuously increasing but the capacity of towns and cities is not unlimited. This contribution presents various options for how car traffic can be reduced. Mentioned first are alternative means of transportation that are more friendly to the urban environment, such as urban transport systems, suburban railways, cycling, and walking. Then the principle of car-sharing and some fiscal tools are explained. In conclusion, the integrity of transportation planning within the urban planning process is addressed.
