“…Such structures deteriorate the skyline and change the urban sky together and the urban land into the goods of their trade. Additionaly, such land uses try to control spaces and make them exclusive (Madanipour, 2007(Madanipour, , 2010Carmona, 2008, Knox, 2010. In fact, urban globalization affects and even scares all aspects of our life.…”

El concepto de paisaje urbano se enfrenta a muchas complejidades y ambigüedades. Estas ambigüedades conducen a malentendidos entre las fuentes académicas y la sociedad profesional. Los términos "entorno" y "paisaje" también han cambiado desde su origen. El término de “imagen” y concepto de legibilidad lo hace más complejo. Hay algunas disciplinas que se refieren al concepto de paisaje urbano. Cada una de estas disciplinas se conoce a sí misma como responsable del paisaje urbano. Este artículo intenta revisar la literatura diversa de estos dos conceptos contando las complejidades de estos términos y luego presenta una nueva definición para ellos. Este artículo intenta revisar varias nociones sobre paisaje urbano e imagen a través del análisis de contenido y estudios bibliotecarios. El paisaje urbano de cada ciudad es el surgimiento de la realidad de esa ciudad. No se puede reducir a una cuestión objetiva, ni tampoco se le da forma subjetiva a la objetiva. El paisaje urbano ha sido juzgado por las filosofías de la ciencia dominantes en un tiempo específico. Esta investigación intenta ir más allá de las distintas definiciones de paisaje urbano que se han presentado en diferentes épocas. Además, proporciona un nuevo marco a través del “realismo científico”. Desde el punto de vista del realismo científico, la definición anterior reduce la antología del paisaje urbano a su epistemología. Acorde a este enfoque, se deben considerar mecanismos al presentar un nuevo marco. Este nuevo marco teórico podría sugerirse a razón del realismo crítico, la lectura de Lefebvre sobre el materializmo fenomenológico y utilizando su teoría de la producción del espacio y las fuerzas influyentes en la dimensión semiótica del paisaje urbano.

Des del punt de vista del realisme científic, la definició anterior redueix l'antologia del paisatge urbà a la seva epistemologia. D'acord amb aquest enfocament, s'han de considerar mecanismes al presentar un nou marc. D'acord amb el realisme crític i pel que fa a la lectura de Lefebvre del materialisme fenomenològic i utilitzant la seva teoria de la producció de l'espai i les forces influents en la dimensió semiòtica de l'paisatge urbà, podria suggerir-se un nou marc teòric. The concept of urban landscape faces many complexities and ambiguities. These ambiguities lead to misunderstandings between academic sources and professional society. The “scape” and “landscape” terms also have changed from their origin. The term “image” and the concept of legibility makes it more complex. There are some disciplines referring to the concept of the urban landscape. Each of these disciplines knows itself as responsible for the urban landscape. This article tries to review the various literature of these two concepts counting the complexities of these terms and then presents a new definition for them. This article tries to review various notions about urban landscape and image through content analysis and library studies. The urban landscape of each city is the emergence of the reality of that city. It could not be reduced to an objective issue, neither is it subjective being shaped separately from an objective one. The urban landscape has been judged by dominant philosophies of science at a specific time. This research tries to go behind the various definition of an urban landscape which has been presented in a different time. After that, it provides a new framework through “scientific realism”. From the scientific realism point of view, the previous definition reduces the anthology of the urban landscape to its epistemology. According to this approach, mechanisms should be considered in presenting a new framework. According to critical realism and regarding Lefebvre’s reading of phenomenological materialism and by using Lefebvre’s production space theory and influential forces in the semiotic dimension of the urban landscape, a new theoretical framework could be suggested.

“…Participating in spatial management decisions creates a feedback loop-the better a space is suited to the residents' needs, the higher the degree of participation; the higher the degree of participation, the better a space suits the residents' needs [4]. In this regard, social participation in spatial management is particularly important [5].…”

Virtual Reality as a Tool for Public Consultations in Spatial Planning and Management

Planning and management of urban space that involves the local community the process is key to optimal management of the surroundings, in line with social needs. Social isolation imposed because of the COVID-19 pandemic considerably reduces the possibility of conducting public consultations. This study hypothesized that such consultations can be carried out using new visualisation technologies in the virtual reality (VR) area. Owing to the development of new technologies, innovative services can be created which make it easier for recipients to absorb new content. To this end, the ArchitektVR application was developed, which uses enhanced reality for public consultations concerning planned land development. 3D visualisation with VR enables the presentation of various aspects of area development in a clear form, understandable to an average user with no specialist qualifications. It facilitates the presentation and creation of multiple variants/scenarios for the future shape of the area. The research assumptions were tested for a disused area of a water body. According to preliminary tests, the use of virtual reality could provide a new form of communication between decision-makers and citizens. Effective and easy-to-understand visualisations might provide encouragement to participate in local matters and enable citizens to make better decisions. 3D visualisation enabled concerned individuals to assess the potential development of a selected area fragment without an in-person visit, either in the field or to an office. This is of particular importance in relation to the COVID-19 pandemic and sanitary restrictions.

“…Underlying the ideological disputes, one can find a common question for social scientists: who owns public space? (Orvell & Meikle, 2009;Madanipour, 2010) Human geographers have of course looked at this issue in the past, especially in terms of a spatial struggle between two opposing views of space. In 1995, Don Mitchell looked at disputes over People's Park in Berkeley and summarized these two camps: «public space as a place of unmediated political interaction, and public space as a place of order, controlled recreation, and spectacle.» (Mitchell, 1995: 128) In this article, I will reconcile the two positions by examining them with Guy Debord's view of spectacle as a feature of capitalist society, and therefore a fixture of public space.…”

Making Space for Freedom: The situationist Guide to Protesting = Crear espacio para la libertad: la guía situacionista para protestar

Using Guy Debord's reaction to the Watts Rebellion of 1965 as a starting point, this article considers Situationism as an agonistic approach to power. The prime focus is on the spectacle, as it should be: by collating every force of production with every product of capitalism, Debord depicts the spectacle as a monopoly of spatial production, even in those spaces that ostensibly reject it. Out-of-focus, in the background and off-camera, those opposed to the spectacle are building an alternative social model as they ought to be, where freedom and economics are cooperatively achieved. I illustrate this dialectic with riots and protests that have occurred in the Spring of 2020, both claiming freedom from within the spectacle.
