historical evolution & basic concepts of planning-design
The example of Vienna
T
he course “Historical Evolution and Basic Concepts of PlanningDesign” was one of the first subjects that the students were asked to develop abilities concerning urban planning and development. In order to help the students understand the development of the cities and the methodological tools and theories of the last (at least) fifty years in Europe and in Greece, we were assigned to study the spatial development of a city through cartographical and other documents and sources. The project was personal and was completed within two months. Specifically, I chose to study the city of Vienna, which by that time I had just visited and had the chance to search for the appropriate documents. After taking notes about the historical moments that had an affect in the urban structure from its formation until nowadays, I searched for historical and modern maps of Vienna, in order to compare the urban development through the centuries.

Each change of the urban form was connected to a historical event that lead to the transformation (whenever it was possible to do so). Eleven Periods of Urban Development ?

chart analysis ? The present form of the city is circular (as it has always been) ? In the former walls position and the free space today lays a wide boulevard that serves the drivers, the cyclists
and the pedestrians, while it offers the privilege of green open spaces ? Through the map it is represented the radical expansion of the urban space, especially during the 20th century,
where many satellite villages and cities merged with Vienna’s urban structure ? The city’s development can also be noticed by the change of map scales that we’ve used. Specifically, while the first map of 1422 is scaled 1:5.280 and fits the whole city of that time, the last one, of 2007 must use a much more smaller scale in order to completely fit Vienna, 1:62.250

urban analysis and urban planning
O
ur teachers' decision to assign us a field project in a part of the Old City (Ano Poli) of Thessaloniki for the conduct of the course was from the beginning an opportunity for the students to study a significant area of the city. With continued research we collected enough data on the architectural character and urban design of the region. Simultaneously, however, we managed to come in contact with the residents of Ano Poli and realize the different way of life that is dictated by the physiognomy of the area. This work was supported by a three-member team over a period of three months. The study area is located in the northwestern boundary of Ano Poli, which is part of the old city of Thessaloniki and extends within the Byzantine city walls. This is a purely residential area with buildings of traditional local architecture, single deck or double deck, which range from moderate to poor condition. Shortcomings have been noticed in the central functions land uses (such as trade and services) as well as in

strategic planning of metropolitan centers & regions R&D in Metropolitan Area of Thessaloniki
D
uring the course "Strategic Planning of Metropolitan Centers and Regions� students were called to deal with a metropolitan region of Greece by studying its general characteristics at first and then a specific subject. Our working group (two-member) studied the Metropolitan Area of Thessaloniki (M.A.Th.) as to its areas of research, technology and innovation. The project lasted three months. The first part of the project examines the M.A.Th. regarding its major features, some of which are: ? demographic, population and economic characteristics ? infrastructure and operations ? spatial position of the region (Europe, the Balkans, Greece, Region) ? investigation of the existing institutional and conceptual framework ? the general vision for the role and the profile of the area ? Our own overall vision for M.A.Th.

P e t r o p o u l o u The second part deals with the thematic approach of areas of research, technology and innovation in M.A.Th. where we examined various data, few of which are the following: ? existing proposals of operators ? demographic and economic data ? indicators that measure innovation ? existing infrastructure
Then, a SWOT analysis and evaluation of data were developed, specifying the problems that arise in the economic and spatial development of the sector (lack of accessibility, covering land use, urban sprawl). Finally, we proposed the creation of specific poles of innovation, based on the spatial pattern of the city and the problems and needs that have been diagnosed, while setting specific requirements for the proposal application.

D
uring the course "Urban Space and Urban Transport" students were asked to study the urban transportation system of the city of Veria. In particular, it was assigned to each group of students to study a city bus line as far as its operating characteristics are concerned. The study group consisted of three people and the project was completed within a month. Specifically, my group initially was asked to study a suburban route connecting the city of Veria with two neighboring villages. We recorded the bus stops and the main land uses that are adjacent to the route. Furthermore, we recorded the duration of the route, the length of it and the average speed of the vehicle as well as the zones of influence of the bus line. On this basis, we have reached conclusions on the reasons that have led to the creation of the specific route which are work and the centre of Veria.
6 t h S e m e s t e r - J u n e 2 0 0 8 Te a c h e r : A . P a p a g i a n n a k i s In the second phase of work, the aim was to develop a new bus line and the calculation of its operating characteristics. Thus, it was necessary to make an initial assessment of the degree of service to residents by the already existing routes. The assessment showed that there are areas in the city of Veria that are not served by the existing route network. One of these areas is the north part of the city, which is a purely residential area and the standard way to access the city center is by car or taxi. Based on the needs of local residents for work and services we designed a new bus line, along with its the accompanying supporting infrastructures, while we estimated the zones of influence and the areas to be served by the implementation of the new line.

urban planning designs & studies The example of Naousa
O
ne of the major laboratories-workshops of our school's curriculum, was this one in which we learned both to create a land use plan and to understand the basic theoretical and methodological issues concerning the actual design process . This work was supported by a three-member team in three months. We worked as a case-study on the city of Naoussa on two levels: the drafting of a framework plan (General City Masterplan) and the creation of a more detailed plan (Urban Design). The study area comprises the city of Naoussa and the surrounding area. Naoussa is a third level town, with a population of about 20,000 residents, which in recent years suffered a huge crisis in the industry, particularly in that of textile industry. As a result, the town has serious problems of unemployment. Furthermore, the economical sectors that are developed in the area are wine production and tourism.

Space and Cultural Formation
Comparative study of the Vlahcs from Vlasti, in Kozani, and the Slav-speaking, local people of Papagianni, in Florina.
T
his research paper examines the interactions between Space and Culture, through comparative study of two populations: the Slavspeaking Greeks of Papagiannis, Florina and the Vlachs of Vlasti, Kozani. The study of two populations is based on the theory of the French historian Fernand Braudel, developed in the book "Grammar of Civilizations." This theory connects features of the man with the natural environment. These two populations were selected in order to apply to them the theory of Braudel (as a case-study), as it was interesting to study a culture with long history of movements (such as the residents of the Vlasti) compared to a cultural group that was relatively stagnant, at least the period that we study (such as the inhabitants of Papagiannis). In both cases, the temporal dimension of our research starts from the Late Ottoman Period (18th century) and leads to the present. The questions that we put on focus in one hand on the influence that a movement might have on culture and on the other the interaction between human and natural environment.

The methodology used includes literature and web research, as well as field research. It was necessary, to perform an autopsy on the two (major) areas studied (Vlasti- Papagiannis) to make a connection between the bibliography and the collected data, to which we even go back over the course of processing the reports. Thus, a complete picture of the culture of each region was built. As regards to the part of the bibliographic research, the material that was used had to do mainly with ethnic characteristics of each region as well as studies that were focused on cultural, economic, social, etc. points of each region. Having collected and studied all the data, they were organized according to the theory of Braudel: those that concern and relate to the geography, society, economy and finally the collective mentality, with a spatial reference to Geocultural Units. As a result we ended up with conclusions mostly about the connections between space and culture.
Theoretical background Parallalel Study: A Culture with a significant movement- immigration (Vlasti+Moschopolis)/ A Cultural Group which didn’t move Questions regarding: 1. The influence that probably movements have on a culture 2. The influence between human and natural environment Possible Answers: 1. Movement = change/ Immobility= stability 2. Every cultural aspect (geography, society, economy, collective feeling) are directly connected to space and its characteristics
Theoretical Background = F. Braudel’s Theory (Grammar of Civilisations - 1963) ? Culture Definition ? Connection among Culture, Geography, and Human Space (society, economy, psychological structures and ethics) In this thesis: [(Space + Sociological Clues + Economical Clues + History) + Tradition and Cultural Clues] + Geocultural Units = Conclusion
Methodology: ? Theoretical background selection --> F. Braudel ? Bibliographic research ? Web- online research ? Field research + interviews --> connection between bibliographical+internet sources and further gathered clues
Signficant clues of the theory: ? Geocultural Units’ Network ? How cultures interfere when they contact other cultures ? Time continuity ? Observation of a culture as a whole
In this thesis: two cases of neighbor cultures in their whole history, that their basic differences are origin, language and movement, or not, in space
? “Classification” according to Braudel’s theory: Geography, Society, Economy and Collective Behaviors ? Geocultural Units: the tree cultures under study were “settled” on space and were matched to the characteristics of each case
analysis Geocultural Units: a geographical space, where a specific system of cultural characteristics dominates. F. Braudel: “Every Culture, despite its size or significance, can always be located on a map. Its reality depends, at a high level, on the positive or negative aspects and characteristics of the geographical space” Considered: Main characteristics of each occasionculture: i) Geography ii) History iii) Society iv) Economy v) Culture- Tradition

Culture could be described as a network of characteristics, that according to its “position” has a different structure. This structure depends on the historical background of every area- unit (geocultural units). The most representative description for such a network is the example of a rope that consists of different kind of fibers- different geocultural units (as shown on the picture).

On the contrary, A culture that is static in space on the one hand may keep almost all of its original characteristics unchanged. On the other hand, the changes that may come are due to the characteristics of the geocultural units that either already existed, or have been formed later in the area.

re-urban valaoritou Scenario of urban regeneration in the historical center of Thessaloniki
T
he object of this study is to formulate a complete urban planning reformation and upgrade of a part of the historical and commercial center of Thessaloniki, specifically concerning the area of Valaoritou. The name of the area is considerably recent and mainly unofficial. It derives from Valaoritou Street where most shops of alternative interest and recreation are and have been for the last five years developed. The area of study today shows signs of steady degradement. The constant development of recreation in combination with the recession of commercial uses and manufacture in the area has resulted in the gradual abandonment of stores and the domination of bars. The bad condition of the urban web and most of the buildings in the area â&#x20AC;&#x201C; most with very interesting morphological and typological structural characteristics â&#x20AC;&#x201C; along with the aforementioned fill in the declining state of the area. However the area of Valaoritou in this atmosphere of degradation, with the aged historical buildings and the shops of recreation offers something different to the city of Thessaloniki: a hangout (local) of controversial entertainment to many students and young people, with a parallel development of culture. So, the question that we are called to offer an answer to is in what level may the planning, in such a state of

spontaneous development and configuration, of an area be efficient and finally successful? The methodology used for the preparation of our thesis includes: investigation of the theoretical frame work and the study of examples of regenerated areas which emerge similar characteristics with the studied area, extended investigation of the area's existing circumstances through field research, questionnaires, participatory planning approach via our blog, assessment of the findings and formulation of an intervention scenario. The approach used has as its main aim the upgrading of the area as well as safeguarding its character through the uplifting of morning usage, of housing and culture and the balanced growth of these along side recreation and entertainment. It also focuses on the motives of attraction to the area offered along with the leveling of the values of real estates. The proposal is formulated in general and specific objectives, territorial objectives and developed proposals. The project was developed by a two-member group, in the terms of the Dissertation and Diploma thesis. The whole research and proposal took place during a five-month period of May - September 2010.

Thoughts about turning the commerce (morning) business into recreation (evening)
the idea and the result: (Visitors Overview)
1. the goal was to apply a part and a form of participatory planning. Through the blog it became possible to open a social dialog regarding not only our analysis methodology but also our proposals. 2. it is understood that applying participatory planning only through internet is not the correct method, as it excludes a major part of the society (ex. elders, poor etc)
(visits)
(single visitors)
3. the result was more than satisfactory as the “Valaoritou issue” came to the foreground, and it was proved that (up to a point) participatory planning can help to maintain spontaneous development in an area. the blog’s poster that was placed around the city
