“…To minimize the emissions effect, cities have a possible path of development in building a tourist offer based on sustainable, environmentally friendly and responsible tourism (Maćkiewicz & Konecka-Szydłowska, 2017). Urban green tourism (eco-tourism) is also a response to that need, as it was emphasized by the participants of the 3rd Global Summit on City Tourism (held in Barcelona in December 2014 and promoted by UNWTO), to make a city enjoyable to all, i.e.…”

“…By joining the network, conducting a self-assessment, developing an action plan, implementing strategies, monitoring progress, and sharing successes, towns can become vibrant, sustainable, and resilient communities [14][15][16]. By focusing on the town's unique strengths and character, and by working collaboratively to create a more sustainable and liveable community, a Cittaslow town can become a model for sustainable development and a desirable place to live, work, and visit [17][18][19][20][21].…”

The revitalisation of small towns is an attempt to find multi-directional solutions to numerous social, economic, and spatial problems. Properly planned and coordinated actions aimed at the renewal and countering of social exclusion through corrective interventions. Although there is a wealth of research on the significance of revitalisation projects in improving the quality of life for residents in large cities, there is a visible gap regarding the development of models based on the principles of “slow” and “liveability” in small towns. This article presents the results of observations regarding the actual conditions for the development of Cittaslow cities and the possibilities for development based on the assumptions outlined in the strategic documents of these cities, as well as the benefits resulting from projects implemented within the Supralocal Revitalisation Program (SLRP). The study initially identifies the main strategic assumptions and then analyses their connections with the revitalisation effects carried out within the SLRP. The analysis encompassed all projects aimed at solving social problems in fourteen cities in the Warmian–Masurian Voivodeship (Poland). The research included an evaluation of the assumptions regarding the directions of development arising from the provisions in the strategic documents (first stage) and a qualitative assessment based on interviews with local experts (second stage). The results indicate that the experts’ opinions differ partly from the project effects assumed in the documents. This applies primarily to the possibility of basing on the project results when formulating development models of the analysed Cittaslow towns. The results of these studies can serve as a basis for verifying the goals set in the SLRP, and based on them, for future projects and recommendations concerning the revitalisation of other Cittaslow cities in the region, as well as small towns in Europe and around the world.

“…High density of building also causes people lack of public space to ordinarily do recreation around their adjacent environment. Furthermore, these prospective designs are envisioned as considerable preparation of essential infrastructures for future eco-tourism activities which is chosen as potential theme for tourism due to natural landscape surrounding [10].…”

 Abstract: Regional development always stimulates urbanization, growing demographic and generating needs of housing. In Kampung Sruni, an urban kampung settlement in Wonosobo Regency, Indonesia, people built new houses on the lands which are the remaining green pockets amidst the settlement. In addition, green space area aimed to maintain ecosystem balance are absent within the new house planning. The challenge of designing green space in built settlement is the availability of land which is many in quantity, scattered and relatively small in size. On the other hand, this kampung has been designated as urban tourism destinations in Wonosobo, promoting people, socio-cultural activities and the green valley landscape setting. This paper offers alternative architectural perspective to design green public space which engages community, culture and urban kampung landscape fabric. Together with inhabitants as local community, strategy to replenish the degrading green spaces was done by creating sustainable design for inhabitant's current and future need, environment and tourism. Interestingly, beside the main function as green public space, the spatial component arrangement of the designs creates various types of vista offering view of man-made, man-made and nature, and fully nature landscape. Moreover, topography along this green public spaces network would generate observer's body a motorically spatial experience.
