Can Small Urban Communities Survive?: Culturological Analysis in Urban Rehabilitation - Cases in Slovenia and Scotland : Culturological Analysis in Urban Rehabilitation - Cases in Slovenia and Scotland

"This title was first published in 2001. Throughout the post-war period, there has been much activity in the conservation and renewal of old town centres throughout Europe. A considerable body of knowledge has been built up on the technical side of rehabilitation over a period of 40 years, but little attention has been paid to related societal and cultural aspects. More often than not this results in a degree of failure in the rehabilitation process. This is an exploration of how the planning and design of urban areas might be improved by the incorporation of culturological analysis within the town planning process. European practice in residential rehabilitation and conservation is renewed in order to gauge what progress has been made, with particular emphasis on solutions and remedies associated with cultural, ethnicity and minority issues."--Provided by publisher Cover -- Half Title -- Dedication -- Title -- Copyright -- Contents -- List of Figures and Tables -- List of Abbreviations -- Acknowledgements -- Preface -- Abstract -- Summary in Slovene -- 1 About Small Urban Communities -- Introduction and Objectives -- Culturological Concepts -- The State of the Art - Theoretical Background -- Ethnology and Anthropology-based Review -- Ecology, Sociology and Psychology-based Review -- Culture and Design-based Review -- Multidisciplinary and Interdisciplinary Approaches -- Broader Perceptions of Planning -- Planning Education -- Participation in Planning -- Comparative Planning Studies -- Conclusions -- 2 Practice in Conservation and Rehabilitation -- Review of Practice in Conservation, Urban Renewal and Rehabilitation in Selected European Countries -- Symbolism, Conservation and Renewal -- Slovenia and Practice in Urban Settlements -- Cultural Regions -- Scotland and Rehabilitation Practice -- Conservation and Rehabilitation in Scottish Cities -- Comparative Appraisal: the Slow Development of Culturological Analysis (CA) -- Different Countries' Profiles of Conservation and Rehabilitation Programmes in Terms of CA Development -- Conclusions -- 3 How to Explore Small Urban Communities? -- Research Methodology: Principles of the Case Studies -- Choice of Study Areas -- Case Study A: Ljubljana and Glasgow -- Case Study B: Krško and Garnethill -- Case Study C: Kostanjevica and Calvay -- Methodology Used in Case Study A -- Methodology Used in Case Studies B and C -- The Differing Approach to Case Studies -- 4 Cases of Small Urban Communities -- Comparison between Scotland and Slovenia -- The Context of the Case Areas -- Case Study A: Ljubljana and Glasgow -- A 1 Stara Šiška -- A 2 Litostroj -- A 3 Kodeljevo -- A 4 Stepanjsko Naselje -- A 5 Garnethill -- A 6 Calvay -- A 7 Bishopbriggs -- A 8 Wynford
