This paper aims to establish a methodology for urban land use planning and management that provides an insight into the hierarchy of priorities between a large number of activities for planning actions, thus contributing to the concept of energy-efficient housing. This methodology includes three aspects of sustainable development: Economic, ecologic, and social, which serve as an overall criterion within which urban planners could make assessments of planned activities. The assessments are the core of the methodology—every aspect is assessed by concerning its costs, consequences on the urban environment, and the effects on the citizens’ quality of life. Ten experts were involved to prove the methodology’s effectiveness. As a result, a hierarchy between the activities is created, which would help an urban planner prioritize and order further activities. The applicability of the hierarchy was tested through a simulation of a reconstruction process of a collective housing area in New Belgrade, Serbia, from the view-point of land use and accessibility. This methodology contributes to the creation of the prioritized groups of activities, and a finalized hierarchy of the activities, while its application is seen in the process of making urban plans, and defining recommendations for its implementation.

Within the guidelines and parameters for achieving an energy-efficient urban space, an important thematic subgroup deals with the issue of land use planning in the context of accessibility, where the topic of availability and presence of parking is emphasized as very important. The essence of the concept is the reduction of the use of ones own vehicles and, in connection with that, as the end result, the reduction of the number of available parking spaces. The creation and maintenance of an energy-efficient urban environment requires the realization of a large number of different activities that are impossible to realize simultaneously. (For now) there is no way to establish a hierarchy of realization between all the required activities (the order in which they are carried out), which can lead to big mistakes and problems. The paper describe the results of applying a methodology based on the idea of sustainable development, which could contribute to the systematization of a large number of activities and thus ensure that the concept/idea of reducing the use of own vehicles without lowering the quality of life of citizens is gradually implemented and becomes a reality.
Introduction. An inclusive approach to sports means opening up opportunities for deaf people to participate in sports activities equally to the hearing population. The paper deals with attitudes toward deafness from the perspective of sports coaches, who represent an important factor in creating an inclusive sports environment. Objectives. The aim of this research was to determine the orientation of sports coaches' attitudes toward deafness. As part of the research tasks, attitudes were examined in relation to age, gender, level of education and the type of sport the coaches practice. Methods. The research was conducted on a sample of 39 participants within the population of sports coaches. The sample consisted mostly of male subjects (66.7 %) 24 to 60 years of age, with the average age being 30.8 (SD = 7.61). Most participants completed undergraduate academic studies (43.6%). The majority of the sample were team sports coaches (82.1%). The Attitudes to Deafness Scale was used as an instrument. Results. The results showed that sports coaches were neutral in their attitudes toward deafness. Age, gender, level of education, and the type of sport did not appear to be significant factors in their attitudes toward deafness. Conclusion. Future research can focus on tests that will test the presence and influence of joint contact between sports coaches and deaf people on their attitudes toward deafness. The dominance of neutral and negative attitudes potentially represents an obstacle to the social inclusion of the deaf through sports and challenges experts dealing with the deaf population to subtly influence the change of attitudes of sports coaches toward deafness in adequate ways.
As a starting point this paper questions the actualization of the concept of the atmosphere in contemporary architectural and artistic research both in theory and in practice. The concept of the atmosphere points to the possibility that the architectural and artistic practices directly operationalize their interests in the problems of everyday life and everyday culture. Architectural and artistic atmosphere are realized in the ratio 1:1, thus surpassing conditions typical for both disciplines separately. Usefulness of the scale of 1:1 is the potential for interdiscursive exchange because it includes the experience of the physical body in space and represents a medium through which the social reality is engraved into the space. We propose that the production of the atmosphere could be a mechanism to imprint everyday life into architectural and artistic forms through real-size-multimediaworks.
