The Ideal

Since 2014, Japan has implemented a policy for forming a compact urban structure at a national level through an urban planning technique called a location normalization plan. A residence-induced zone included in the location normalization plan is considered as the essence of forming a compact urban structure and can be characterized as a policy that compactifies cities for a long period not only by inducing residence functions into the inside of the zones but also by applying regulations to the outside of the zones. This study examined the status of the dichotomous compact city policy applied in reality by analyzing various cases in Japan that established location normalization plans, and its implications. The conditions commonly observed in the induced zone in model cities indicated that the validity of residence-induced zones—how and where residence-induced zones had to be designated—was prioritized in many cases. Some cities, however, designated independent zones that maintained a certain level of residential functions outside the induced zones. Utilizing independent zones in non-induced zones can be assessed not as an act of simply dividing cities by a dichotomous way but as an attempt to reflect the situations and characteristics of individual cities.

The objectives of this study encompass three aspects. First, it analyzes the Bangkok Mega-city Model in three subareas around the New Suvarnabhumi International Airport.4 Second, it analyzes the compact city policy to measure factors of the compact city based on affordable transportation costs related to household income, jobhousing balance, and facilities. Third, it analyzes household commuting travel using modeling displays with visual simulation. The results show that the compact city strategy can shed light on the lifestyle of residents in a mega-city. Moreover, the study reveals that the patterns of urban structure in the Bangkok Metropolis are close to the compact city concept, which means the residents utilize urban structure in an area not more than 20 kilometers distant from their residences. The study was designed to show the necessity of urban policy that pursues "a compact city" in the Bangkok Mega-city.

The Status

On 27 January 1969 the list of urban heritage in Lithuania was officially declared, and therefore 62 cities and towns, with the exception of S˘iauliai, were given the status of local Lithuanian urban values. In 1980 the revised list of Lithuanian urban heritage again disregarded S˘iauliai. But the analysis of the current situation, estimating demands of urban development, has demonstrated the existence of a very clear historic urban structure in Šiauliai, which can be regarded as a valuable urban heritage territory. A lot of scientific research projects, urban planning documents, architectural and urban competitions strengthened an urban heritage argument with facts. The ways of legitimating an urban heritage status are obvious. The potential of urban development in the central part of S˘iauliai is enormous, but a balance between urban de- veploment and urban heritage conservation and preservation is also very important. The paper applies scientific statistical data and information received from the urban concept of Šiauliai and the analysis of the current urban structure. The information of the paper can be applied for creating a recommendable indicator system and urban development principles during the detailed planning process in Šiauliai. Santrauka 1969 m. sausio 27 d. LSSR kultūros ministro ir LSSR Ministrų tarybos valstybinio statybos reikalų komiteto pirmininko įsakymu Nr. 37/16 paskelbtas Lietuvos urbanistinių paminklų sąrašas. Taigi 62 miestai ir miesteliai buvo paskelbti vietos reikšmės urbanistikos paminklais, bet paminklų sąraše nėra Šiaulių miesto. Nėra ir 1980 m. patikslintame Lietuvos urbanistinių paminklų sąraše. Iš atliktos esamos padėties analizės, įvertinus urbanistinės plėtros poreikį ir potencialą, paaiškėjo, kad Šiaulių mieste yra labai aiški istoriškai susiklosčiusi urbanistinė struktūra, kuri, tinkamai respektuota, gali būti traktuojama kaip urbanistinio paveldo teritorija. Taip pat atlikta mokslinių darbų, galimybių studijų, teritorijų planavimo dokumentų, konkursinių projektų ir pan. analizė ne tik tą patvirtino, bet ir parodė būdus, kaip tą padaryti. Šiaulių miesto centrinės dalies urbanistinės plėtros potencialas didelis, bet labai svarbus plėtros ir apsaugos balansas. Straipsnio pobūdis – taikomasis, nes sukurtas rekomendacijų blokas, kuris leidžia parengti rekomendacinių užstatymo principų ir rodiklių kompleksą, kuriuo remiantis galima būtų rengti Šiaulių miesto centrinės dalies detaliojo plano reglamentus.

The article views the tower building as one of the modern methods of planning residential areas. The uniqueness and signifi cance of the vertical form in the composition of the city at all historical stages of its existence are noted. The author considers the evolution of the tower as an element of the composition from the unique to the mass use and the formation of the reception of urban planning composition. Due to its infl uence on the surrounding space, panoramas and silhouett es of the city, tower building retains its special urban planning value. Recently, in almost all Russian major cities, there has been an interest in this planning technique, which is increasingly called high-rise buildings and has an ambiguous assessment in a historic city. The article discusses modern examples of tower building in Samara and analyzes the problems of its urban planning application.

If punishment is not what we say it is, if it is not justified by the reasons we invoke, if it facilitates repeat offenses instead of preventing them, if it punishes in excess of the seriousness of the act, if it sanctions according to the status of the offender rather than to the gravity of the offense, if it targets social groups defined beforehand as punishable, and if it contributes to producing and reproducing disparities, then does it not itself precisely undermine the social order? And must we not start to rethink punishment, not only in the ideal language of philosophy and law but also in the uncomfortable reality of social inequality and political violence?

Planning for Growth: Contradictions in the Framework of Economic and Urban Development from the “Spanish Miracle” (1959-1973)

In the postwar period, the strong economic growth in Western countries coincided with the configuration of their modern urban planning systems. This article aims at exploring to what extent the targets of the economic planning that was broadly adopted in this growth period conditioned the performance of urban planning tools by analyzing the case of Spain. During the so-called “Spanish miracle” that started in the early 1960s and lasted until the mid-1970s, there were notable contradictions between economic and spatial planning policies and between the performance of the national and the municipal governments. It is concluded that the lack of an integrated approach to regional and urban planning policies at national level combined to the gap with the actual local planning framework, illustrated through the example of three cities, can help to understand the patterns of urban growth in a context of an expanding economy.

No official data exist on the status of musculoskeletal (MSK) radiology in Europe. The Committee for National Societies conducted an international survey to understand the status of training, subspecialization, and local practice among the European Society of Musculoskeletal Radiology (ESSR) partner societies. This article reports the results of that survey. An online questionnaire was distributed to all 26 European national associations that act as official partner societies of the ESSR. The 24 questions were subdivided into six sections: society structure, relationship with the national radiological society, subspecialization, present radiology practice, MSK interventional procedures, and MSK ultrasound. The findings of our study show a lack of standardized training and/or accreditation methods in the field of MSK radiology at a national level. The European diploma in musculoskeletal radiology is directed to partly overcome this problem; however, this certification is still underrecognized. Using certification methods, a more homogeneous European landscape could be created in the future with a view to subspecialist training. MSK ultrasound and MSK interventional procedures should be performed by a health professional with a solid knowledge of the relevant imaging modalities and sufficient training in MSK radiology. Recognition of MSK radiology as an official subspecialty would make the field more attractive for younger colleagues as well as attracting the brightest and best, an important key to further development of both clinical and academic radiology.

The purpose of this reseach is to describe the factors and implications of the proliferation of political dynasties and to find designs to create dynastic politics that do not conflict with the spirit of local democracy in Indonesia. The problem of this research is the factors and implications that make politics flourish in simultaneous Pilkada and the ideal dynastic political design. The research method used is normative juridical through the concept of an approach, legislation, case approach and historical approach. The results showed that dynastic politics mushroomed because the regional head as the ruler was unable to run again, the ruler at the national level wanted to use his power to place family members as rulers at the regional level. As a result, many candidates for regional heads are nominated without the competence and willingness to become regional heads. The ideal dynastic political design can be achieved with the requirements to be declared valid as a candidate for regional head as well as regulations that prevent unqualified regional head candidates from fulfilling formal or legal requirements as regional head candidates.

This chapter deals with sacred biographies, hagiographies, and their function in the formation of religious leaders and ritually venerated persons. It is argued that the status of any Master, Teacher, Prophet, guru, Seer and Channel is partly based on sacred biographies, and that the narrative construction of religious authority is crucial to our understanding of leadership in new religions, sects etc. Distinctions are made between doctrinal and popular hagiographies; doctrinal narratives promote the exalted leader according to theologically well-defined standards, while popular narratives cover a wider span, as they seek to draw a picture of the perfected human in many different ways. Counter-hagiographies, finally, serve to deconstruct the ideal person and are typically employed by ex-devotees or members of counter-groups. Hagiographies are seen as very ancient social strategies (there are references to old new religions including early Christianity and the cult of Christ), but also a very lively and important mechanisms in the current make of religious leaders. Examples are derived from Catholic cults of saints, the Mormon Church, Scientology, TM and several other groups.

The paper explores the compact city concept based on the «spatial» urban development principles and describes the prerequisites and possible methods to move from «horizontal» planning to «vertical» urban environments. It highlights the close connection between urban space, high-rise city landscape and conveyance options and sets out the ideas for upgrading the existing architectural and urban planning principles. It also conceptualizes the use of airships to create additional spatial connections between urban structure elements and high-rise buildings. Functional changes are considered in creating both urban environment and internal space of tall buildings, and the environmental aspects of the new spatial model are brought to light. The paper delineates the prospects for making a truly «spatial» multidimensional city space.
