PROBLEMS The Role of Outdoor Advertisements in the Landscape of a City – Public and Private Interests Reklama w krajobrazie miasta – interes publiczny i prywatny Monika Płuciennik Marta Sylla Eleonora Gonda-Soroczyńska DOI: 10.30825/5.ak.104.2017.55.2 SUMMARYOutdoor advertising has a significant impact on the urban landscape. It has become an inherent and integral element of cities in Poland. Investors treat the outdoor advertising as a direct mean of communication about their products with customers. The advertisements indicate the location, promote a brand, mark, and image of the company. On the other hand, advertising often impairs the value of cultural and natural heritage of the site and it affects the spatial order. Outdoor advertisements, in a free market economy conditions, are difficult to control by the local authorities. However, cities increasingly recognize the problem of intensive and chaotic advertising. Cities defend their open spaces against excessive advertising by implementing local laws and resolutions defining the rules and conditions for situating advertisements, also known as “cultural park” resolutions. This article aims to assess the impact of advertising on the urban landscape from the perspective of public and private interests. Private interest is understood primarily in economic terms. In contrast, the public interest is widely perceived as cultural benefits, affecting the quality of life, improving the aesthetics, including economic aspects. The analysis shows that restrictions improve public interest, without significant adverse effects on private interests Common Features of Urban Space Users that Allow for Distinction of a Community on the Example of Kielce Cechy wspólne użytkowników przestrzeni miejskich umożliwiające wyodrębnienie społeczności na przykładzie Kielc Adam Sebastian Górski DOI: 10.30825/5.ak.105.2017.55.2 SUMMARYThe article presents the theoretical foundations and possibilities resulting from segmentation among urban residents. This segmentation consists in separating individual urban space stakeholders, based on their subjective feelings about space (space valorisation), sense of local identity as well as their daily functioning in urban space. As such, in-depth interdisciplinary research covering psychological, sociological, spatial (geographic) and marketing aspects enables amore complete understanding of the users of a given urban space, and thus a deeper understanding of their behavior, preferences in urban space (in the context of a city, functional or metropolitan area). The developed research methodology allows for more involvement of the inhabitants in the process of plan-ning and programming the development of local self-government units, by identifying specific stakeholders of the community space. Research based on an interdisciplinary approach to urban space users enables a more efficient way of diagnosing, programming, implementing and evaluating strategic documents as well as evaluating individual actions in urban space. PREZENTATIONS Metamorphosis of Grunwaldzki Square in Wrocław – from Integrated Interchange to Town Square Metamorfoza węzłów przesiadkowych ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem placu Grunwaldzkiego we Wrocławiu Robert Masztalski Agnieszka Wicińska DOI: 10.30825/5.ak.106.2017.55.2 SUMMARYNowadays, it becomes more and more common to discuss, among architects and urban planners, restoration of public spaces. One of the ways of restoring them is redesigning communication systems in urban centers in order to change the proportion of vehicular traffic and pedestrian traffic as well as cycling, or to be more precise, increasing the space for pedestrians and cyclists. The authorities of many cities around the world while aiming to provide the best living conditions for the inhabitants find bold and sometimes even a somewhat controversial solution, but most importantly – they are effective. Improving the quality of public transport, new bike paths and improvement of their networks, more space for cafeteria tables, benches and flower pots – it all improves the attractiveness and quality of public space and urban landscape, the level of satisfaction among residents as well as the attractiveness of the area in economic terms. This paper provides examples of such spatial transformations from other cities. It also presents a historical view of Grunwaldzki Square in Wrocław and its transformation in recent years. The aim is also to present variants of urban transformations of the area. The Eastern Part of Medieval Wrocław as a Cultural and Recreational Center of the City of the 21st Century Wschodnia część średniowiecznego Wrocławia–centrum rekreacyjno-kulturalne miasta na miarę XXI wieku Luba Smirnowa DOI: 10.30825/5.ak.107.2017.55.2 SUMMARYAreas of the eastern part of the Old Town seem to be a special place on the map. One of the sparse preserved objects is the Bernardine complex, which now houses the Museum of Architecture. Built on the outskirts of the fifteenth century city it had already played an important role in the social and spiritual development of the people. To this day, it is a unique monument of those times, and one of the links in the cultural life of the city of Wrocław and its visiting tourists, but the adjacent areas have changed beyond recognition. In the paper an attempt is made to characterize the changes in the urban structure of this part of the city, thanks to which the earlier housing estate has been transformed into public buildings, which rank among the most important centers of cultural life of the inhabitants and important objects of modern architecture on a world scale. The Functioning and Image of Selected Wrocław Housing Estates From the Second Half of The 20th Century Funkcjonowanie i wizerunek wybranych wrocławskich osiedli mieszkaniowych z 2. połowy XX wieku Ewa Dyk DOI: 10.30825/5.ak.108.2017.55.2 SUMMARYSocietal changes at the turn of the centuries had an impact on the condition of present-day society, and thus the image of the space in which social life takes place. Urbanization happening for decades contributed to the phenomena and problems currently faced by the city and its existing housing stock. Residential areas are constantly transformed, changing their space, residents and quality of life. Therefore, it is worthwhile to examine them constantly, in various ways, by monitoring changes in the spatial and social aspects. The aim of this work is to examine the three selected Wrocław housing complexes from the 2nd half of the twentieth century – Popowice, Różanka and Gaj, mainly in architectural-urban and social terms, in order to identify their problems, the needs of residents and image of their place of residence. The results show the relation between the functional-spatial structure of the Wrocław block settlements and their image in the opinion of the inhabitants. Moreover, there formulated guidelines that can help housing co-operatives, city councils and local authorities to create a comprehensive concept of revitalization and development of the studied areas. This would provide an opportunity to undertake comprehensive measures aimed at improving the quality of life and spatial order of the housing complexes, reduce investment and revitalization activities inconsistent with their urban concept and the protection of public spaces and green areas, which is all of these the image of a housing estate is composed of. FORUM Lublin Civic Budgeting as a Participatory Instrument for Implementing the Needs of the Residents of Lublin Budżet Obywatelski Lublina partycypacyjnym narzędziem realizacji potrzeb mieszkańców Lublina Kinga Małgorzata Jarmołowicz DOI: 10.30825/5.ak.109.2017.55.2 SUMMARYA city is not only a geographical area, demarcated by signs and borders. The city is determined by its residents who create its space and image. Efficient city management means implementing the policy of participatory management of urban space including active participation of the residents in a co-decision-making process. The involvement of the residents in the policy of urban space development gains more and more recognition among local authorities regulating the rules of cooperation with the citizens within the local and national law. The paper presents a participatory model of city management on the example of Lublin, covering a range of activities involving residents in the process of co-creation of the city, as a tool for social needs. Based on the analysis of three editions of the Civic Budget Lublin we can become familiarized with the involvement of citizens in the processes of creating urban space. The article also presents the solutions proposed by the citizens and conclusions on the implementation of the procedure.These are sometimes small changes in the neighbourhood of the person concerned, another time the ideas for solutions in several districts. However, these are always reflections of the social needs. Looking at the city as a place for the realisation of the residents’ needs, one cannot overlook the instruments for their implementation. Every city builds its own code of activity. The success of the residents in the realisation of their projects equals the success of the authorities in the implementation of the participatory city management policy. Civic Budget as an Instrument for Meeting the Needs of the Citizens on the Example of Wrocław Budżet obywatelski jako narzędzie realizacji potrzeb mieszkańców na przykładzie Wrocławia Hanna Adamiczka DOI: 10.30825/5.ak.110.2017.55.2 SUMMARYSocial participation becomes more and more appreciated and frequently applied to meet the needs of urban residents. There exist many various forms of enabling citizens to co-decide about investments in their cities. One of them is civic budget (participatory budget), or a process of enabling citizens to have a direct influence on the decisions concerning the allocation of part of the public budget for projects proposed directly by them. This article presents the functioning of the civic budget in Wrocław: the author discusses the objectives and guidelines of the Wrocław Civic Budget (WCB), presents figures related to the citizens’ activity, the financial aspect, and certain sample projects submitted by the citizens. The pilot project was launched in 2013; since 2014 the WCB has been operating on its basis and boasting growing popularity, with 104 884 votes cast in 2016.
