Given that mankind has occasionally been exposed to the devastation of catastrophic proportions throughout its history (extreme weather events, natural disasters, bioterrorism, and pandemics are having an increased global impact), which are increasing in the 20 th century due to climate change, the risk reduction measures are being taken at the global level to reduce the severity of the consequences. Natural and technological disasters in the European countries have caused significant loss of life and damage to structures and infrastructure, which has led to the ratification of conventions at the world level in the field of disaster preparedness (Hyogo Framework for Action and Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Management). Hospitals and other healthcare facilities are amongst those most jeopardized. The paper gives an overview of the methodology in the field of defining the resilience of healthcare facilities through determining the hospital safety index. Through the application of this and other methodologies in a case study conducted in Serbia, the paper examines the direct correlations between hospital safety index and climate change. Paper gives the results of hospital safety index calculation considering modules 2-4 and possibilities for the potential use of the module 1 (research on hazards) in separate evaluation.
There is global interest in the smart city, not only as an operational concept, but also as a funding mechanism of the EU Cohesion Policy, joint programs, projects and initiatives. According to the EU Commission, a smart city is a place where traditional networks and services are made more efficient with the use of digital and communication technologies, for the benefit of its inhabitants and business. Urban governance, as an instrument of integrated urban development, has an important role as a decentralization criterion in improving the smart city?s performance in more developed countries and regions. At the same time, the countries of Southeast Europe that are not members of the EU (including Serbia) are lagging in this matter. Taken that the application of urban governance in the context of a smart city can be seen as a practical novelty in Serbia, this paper presents and discusses the existing state of the art in this field. The findings presented were derived from collaborative engagement within the INTERREG project CLEVER - Co-designing Smart Local Solutions for Exploiting Values and Enhancing Resilience, during 2018/2019.
Due to the increasingly dynamic climate change and the increase in the number of people in cities, renewable energy sources (RES) are contributing to a more rational use of energy. Given the importance that the use of RES in housing directly brings in terms of financial savings and reduction of CO2 emissions, the paper examines the possibility of using RES in multi-family housing from the aspect of solar energy collection and conversion respectively implementation of photovoltaic panels and electricity generation. In multi-family housing, the problem of sustainability and implementation of RES is a complex task, primarily due to the existing ways of using space and ownership, which is multi-layered, but also the need for the active involvement of the entire housing community in deci-sion-making and initiatives. The research analyzes the advantages and disadvantages of installing solar panels on the rooftops and facades of buildings, and within the common open spaces in the block, by installing solar lamps, solar power for electric vehicles, solar chargers, etc. The examina-tion of the possibilities for using solar energy was conducted on the example of the residential Block 29 in New Belgrade, using urban analysis supported by appropriate data on solar radiation for the analyzed area and Skelion software for a numerical and graphical illustration of the amount of ener-gy that can be obtained by installing photovoltaic solar panels. The paper considers two different scenarios: when panels are installed on the roofs of buildings and when they are installed in open spaces, analyzing the potential of each and the prerequisites for their implementation in practice. The results aim to compare the quantities of electricity obtained by calculation for two different scenarios.
Борјан Бранков, стипендиста Министарства просвете, науке и технолошког развоја Републике Србије, ангажован на научним пројектима Института за архитектуру и урбанизам Србије, borjanb@hotmail.com АПСТРАКТ Природне катастрофе су све чешће узрочници оштећења или девастирања насеља. На простору Србије се у последње време повећава број и разорност природних хазарда. Због тога расте потреба за привременим смештајем угроженог становништва. Рад путем анкете, реализоване у периоду од априла до јуна 2017. год., испитује карактеристике стамбеног простора у којем испитаници тренутно живе и њихове ставове у вези са привременим смештајем. Прва анкета (узорак од 60 испитаника са територије Србије) бави се становништвом које је било у привременом смештају и потенцијално угроженим становништвом које до сада није било. Паралелно са овим истраживањем, спроведено је анкетирање представника 11 организација укључених у питање привременог смештаја (НВО, хуманитарне и развојне организације и академске инстутуције). Анализа резултата спроведених анкета показује разлике у тренутном смештају у којем становништво живи и оном у којем би желело да буде или је било у случају катастрофа. Дискусија добијених резултата истиче значај елемената уређења као што су прозорске површине, величина простора, постојање предбашти и др. Резултат овог рада представља детерминисање ставова и жеља угроженог становништва и правце и препоруке за будуће истраживање. Квалитет привременог становања може допринети нормализацији животних активности које као резултат имају побољшање друштвеног и стамбеног положаја и осећај припадања заједници, а не маргинализацији и социјалној искључености.Кључне речи: привремено становање, катастрофе, Србија, анкета, угрожено становништво ABSTRACT Natural disasters are increasingly causing damage or devastation of the settlements. In recent years, the number and intensity of natural hazards in Serbia has increased. As a result, there is a growing need for temporary accommodation of the vulnerable population.The paper through the survey, conducted in the period from April to June 2017, examines the characteristics of the housing in which the surveyed population currently live and their view regarding the temporary accommodation. The fi rst survey (60 surveyed residents from the territory of Serbia) deals with the population who were in temporary accommodation and potentially vulnerable population which were not. Simultaneously paper conducted a survey of representatives of 11 organizations involved in the issue of temporary accommodation (NGOs, humanitarian and development organizations and academic institutions). The analysis of the results of the conducted surveys shows the diff erences in the current accommodation in which the population live and the one in which they would like to be or they were after disaster. Discussion of the obtained results highlights the importance of the spatial elements such as window surfaces, living area, existence of additional spaces etc. The result of this paper is to determine the opinions and desires...
