The Methodology for Supporting Land Use Management in Collective Housing towards Achieving Energy Efficiency: A Case Study of New Belgrade, Serbia

Abstract

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.

Land Management in Territorial Planning: Analysis, Appraisal, Strategies for Sustainability—A Review of Studies and Research

“…The article "The Methodology for Supporting Land Use Management in Collective Housing toward Achieving Energy Efficiency: A Case Study of New Belgrade, Serbia" by Gajic et al [20] proposes a methodology to support urban land use planning and management, especially applicable in cases of smart city planning and specifically energyefficient housing. The proposed methodology is based on the failure modes and effects analysis (FMEA) approach, which consents to identifying (and thus avoiding) unintended consequences within a defined system.…”

“…Primer implementacije predložene metodologije za prostor bloka 7 u Novom Beogradu je detaljno razrađen i objavljen u časopisu Land [12]. Ovaj stambeni superblok, čijom gradnjom je, u periodu neposredno posle Drugog svetskog rata započela izgradnja Novog Beograda (1947)(1948)(1949)(1950), je naselje skoro identičnih petospratnica sa oko 3.000 stanova, u otvorenom sistemu modernog urbanizma.…”
