“…The present settlement is a long-term adaptation to the fragile karst ecological environment and the result of the continuous harmony and unification of the contradictions between human and land. Therefore, when optimizing the living space, we must respect the spatial self-organizing mode of the existing settlement, and consider the natural conditions, social and economic development and residential culture of the karst geomorphological type area (Martín-Díaz et al, 2018).…”

Taking Jinghe River Basin in the Loess geomorphological area and Guangnan County in the karst geomorphological area as the study area, the spatial distribution characteristics of urban and rural areas of different geomorphological types are analyzed. By using GIS and related statistical analysis software, this paper summarizes three basic urban and rural types: river channel type, plateau surface type, and loess terrace horizon prototype in the Loess Landscape Jinghe River Basin. It is known that most towns in the loess plateau gully area are in the Jinghe River Basin. According to the spatial distribution characteristics of urban and rural areas, the optimal layout based on the main structure of five districts, nine River corridors, and four plates is proposed. Using the DEM module of ArcGIS to divide the elevation and gradient of Guangnan County, we know that the density of urban and rural settlements in Guangnan County is low and the spatial distribution is dispersed, and the distribution of urban and rural settlements shows a strong elevation orientation. The distribution of urban and rural settlements has a normal distribution relationship with the elevation. The largest number of urban and rural settlements is between 2.1° and 25°. According to the present situation of settlement distribution, this paper puts forward some optimization strategies, such as appropriate settlement scale, settlement space development monitoring, and so on.

“…The traditional housing practices of rural migrants and uncertainty in the allocation of social housing further exacerbated this situation. According to Martin-Diaz et al (2017, p. 3), new constructions were of three types: legal, illegal but conforming with zoning regulations, illegal and non-conforming to zoning regulations. This latter case included construction on state owned forested areas lacking urban services and subject to hydrogeological risk.…”

“…Of this 40%, 57% is high-risk. Martin-Diaz et al (2017) used documentation from the University of Sarajevo and ArcGIS software to reconstruct the growth of the built-up areas in the mahalas for three periods -1987, 2003, 2015 -allowing comparison between Širokača and other mahalas. It is interesting to note that the high-risk areas and the areas immediately adjacent to them are those which have shown the greatest variation in terms of construction (Fig.…”

This paper outlines a project for the reactivation of the peri-urban settlements, known as mahalas, which surround Sarajevo, Bosnia & Herzegovina. For historical, social and economic reasons, the growth of the mahalas has been largely informal and uncontrolled by planning regulations with the result that today they exemplify both the dysfunctions and the potentials of spontaneous and uncontrolled urban expansion. The absence of adequate urban planning, both previous to and following a period of armed conflict, together with a failed process of social reconstruction, has left the mahalas in a state of physical abandon and without a shared identity and memory of place. Lacking public infrastructure, they are cut off from the central parts of the city and from the services these provide. In terms of natural conditions, due to the steep slopes and the nature of the bedrock the area is vulnerable to landslides. A failure to address this problem has resulted in the construction of buildings in high-risk locations. This study examines a rethinking of the Širokača mahala. It identifies four strategic objectives: the reduction of landslide risk; the reconnection, both physical and psychological, with the city; the reactivation of the mahala through the provision of public spaces and services; the provision of new homes for the recollocation of the weakest elements of the population as part of the wider national programme for the recollocation of internally displaced people (IDPs). The project finds its guiding principle in a scattered approach consisting of a series of small scale interventions that together create a pathway of facilities which in turn can be reproduced at the macro-level of an urban system. Bottom-up initiatives and practices of urban resilience, latent potential of Sarajevo, are proposed in order to foster a process of physical and social reconciliation within the community.

“…However, Sarajevo, the capital and the largest city of Bosnia and Herzegovina (Bosnia hereinafter), is an exemplary case of how globalization under a specific social, economic, and political regime can radically influence a once strong cultural milieu. 43 Sarajevo has been described as a typical Balkan city 44 ; an Ottoman city with an enduringly Turkish appearance 45 ; as the most Yugoslav of Yugoslav cities 46 ; a city of pluralism, religious tolerance, and mutual understanding 47 ; and as the popular 'European Jerusalem' 48 . Situated in the heart of South-eastern Europe, Sarajevo has for centuries represented a strategic position and symbolic crossroads connecting central Europe, the Adriatic Sea and the Mediterranean.…”

This paper discusses the complex processes and practices of global flows within the dynamic nature of European cultural landscapes in a contemporary context. It examines the role of new technologies, recent demographic fluctuations and increasing interconnectedness in cultural landscape reconfiguration. This paper represents an attempt to encourage a shift in thinking on existing environmental resources and sustainable landscape practices, and to question alternative approaches that are sensitive to the cultural interchange process. Substantively, complex and contradictory nature of contemporary cultural identities is addressed in the city of Sarajevo, the capital of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
