Rough Place with Fine Culture: Media View on Ostrava

Tourism gentrification in traditional industrial areas presents issues regarding the privatization of public spaces, transformation of public services to cater to tourists, erosion of community social bonds, and the commodification of regional consumption, which has far-reaching impacts on residents’ stress and their desire to relocate. This study aims to understand the impact of tourism gentrification from residents’ perspectives with a case study of the 798 Industrial Art Zone in Beijing, China. Using Q methodology, residents living in the community (N = 20) were involved in the interviews. The finalized statements (N = 26) were derived from the interviews. Based on the stress threshold theory, the results revealed four factors that influence residents’ stress: neighboring environment, community attachment, economic interest, and cultural identity. This study further proposes a framework with four dimensions (i.e., environmental, relational, economic, and emotional) to explain the relocation decision-making of residents in traditional industrial areas due to stress from interactions with migrants and visitors, and changes to the place-functions of industrial regions and communities. This study is the first to conceptualize tourism gentrification in traditional industrial areas by elucidating the residents’ stress. It provides practical guidance for policymakers and destination marketing organizations for promoting the sustainable development of industrial tourism.

In the modern world, with increasing urbanization, efficient land use becomes critically important for the sustainable development of cities. The reorganization of outdated industrial territories emerges as a key direction in this process, requiring a combination of various approaches to preserve industrial function, reprofile enterprises, and adapt production to new conditions. This study is built upon a broad methodological foundation, encompassing both general scientific and specialized methods within the fields of architecture, urban planning, and urban studies. Specifically, methods such as literary, statistical, and cartographic analyses, synthesis, and generalization are employed for data collection and processing. Specialized methods, including experimental design, mental mapping, and phenomenological analysis, are also utilized to achieve the research objectives. A cluster approach was employed in developing the concept of spatial development for recreation on former industrial territories. Taking into account various factors such as economic opportunities, sociocultural factors, urban planning considerations, ecological and infrastructural requirements, as well as legal aspects, is crucial for the successful reorganization of industrial territories for recreational purposes. Achieving a balance among these factors enables the creation of resilient, functional, and culturally rich spaces that contribute to improving the quality of life for residents and the development of cities. The research encompasses a strategy for planning the reorganization of industrial territories for recreational use, which involves the identification and analysis of territorial potential and condition, planning functional transformations, architectural transformation, sustainability and ecological considerations, public participation, infrastructure transformations, economic resilience, multimodality, and adaptability. The cluster approach involves the formation of flexible entities enriched with innovative, dynamic spaces encompassing various functional zones, while preserving industrial heritage and creating green, environmentally sustainable spaces that align with the needs of modern society. Community engagement and project flexibility are key elements in creating inclusive and sustainable ecological spaces that enhance the quality of life and attract new visitors. The article analyzes the urban planning situation in the city of Dnipro, identifying shortcomings in the formation of industrial zones. The study emphasizes the need to develop strategies to address issues related to the placement of production zones in the city, which lead to limitations in territorial development and the fragmentation of the urban fabric. Based on this, a concept of a recreational cluster for industrial tourism within the industrial hub "Fabrichny" is developed, envisioning the transformation of industrial territory into recreational facilities. An analysis of the site revealed valuable architectural objects that could become the main attractors of the recreational cluster. These objects served as the basis for the development of a conceptual project for the considered area.

A főváros tradicionális ipari területein az utóbbi évtizedben is folytatódtak azok a folyamatok (de- és reindusztrializáció, rehabilitáció, ipari területek csökkenése, funkcióváltás), amelyek az 1990-es évtizedben voltak jellemzőek, de már sok vonatkozásban különböznek is azoktól. Tulajdonképpen ezeket mutatja be ez a tanulmány egy újabb felmérésre alapozva.

The purpose of this study was to assess the relationship between prior use of social media in education and the perception of social media use in education and for future careers. College agriculture students and instructors were surveyed to address the objectives. The descriptive measures showed that instructors had more positive perceptions of social media than students, though neither group was in favor of social media in education in general. Prior use of social media in education was positively correlated with more positive perceptions of social media in education, with the relationship being stronger for instructors than students. The results indicate prior use could be a prerequisite for improving perceptions of social media in education. It was recommended instructors be aware of the discrepant views of social media in education that students hold when introducing social media into classes to help navigate potential conflicts as effectively as possible. Instructors should also be aware that the relationship between prior use and perceptions of social media is not as strong between different social media types. Further research is needed to better understand the direction of the relationship between prior use and perceptions. Experimental or quasi-experimental designs could address this area of research.

In modern conditions there is a need for a comprehensive approach to solving problems of life and development of old industrial territories. In these conditions, the generally accepted world practice of public-private partnership is relevant, the advantage of which is to attract private business to traditionally public sectors of the economy, as well as the desire to eliminate the shortcomings of other management methods through optimal allocation of resources, responsibilities and risks. The aim of the article is to systematize the concept of revitalization of old industrial territories, research of tools for effective implementation of public-private partnership in the practice of revitalization of old industrial territories and possible directions of their development. It is determined that the points of innovative growth of the old industrial territories of Ukraine should be investments in research and development, increase in the production of science-intensive products, institutional changes at the legislative level. In order to modernize and develop old industrial areas on an innovative basis, the authors substantiate the need for projects involving public-private partnership mechanisms, such organizational and economic form of interaction between government and business, in which the state acts as a business entity as an active partner that stimulates structural modernization of economic sectors and provides for the transfer of business part of the economic, organizational and managerial functions of production of public goods, provision of public services, management of state property. In the context of the transition of Ukraine's economy to an innovative path of development, the authors identified the growth points of the old industrial territories of Ukraine: investing in research and development, increasing the production of science-intensive products, institutional changes at the legislative level. The experience of recent years shows that with a properly formed structure of public-private partnership mechanisms, this organizational and legal form is extremely beneficial for both public and private sectors, and for the society.

Based on cognitive school of strategic management, the mental (intellectual) map of managers and employees is highly effective on survival and development of their companies. The number of mental maps that managers and employees of a company have on situations and categories (quantity) and the quality (accuracy and precision) of mind maps can be decisive factors in the success of their companies. One of the most important factors affecting the mind map is knowledge sharing. This study seeks to explain the dimensions of this impact. Based on objective, this is a descriptive - explanatory study, while it is an applied one according to the result. It is cross-sectional research based on time, and a surveying according to the methodology. The target population members included the managers and employees of a large industrial complex in the North West of Iran. The sampling method was a stratified randomized approach, and the sample size was calculated using the Cochran formula as 237 subjects. The data were collected by a researcher-made questionnaire containing 36 questions. The results showed that knowledge sharing affects the formation of a strategic map of managers and employees significantly and differently through each of the three categories of organizational factors, personal factors, and knowledge factors. This means that each of these knowledge sharing approaches affects each of the eight mind maps with different quality and quantity. Also, knowledge sharing is not a universal current among all managers and employees; in addition, it is unclear that sharing of knowledge will essentially boost more useful and functional mental maps, and perhaps, it would act otherwise. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct the process of knowledge-sharing to continuously integrate and improve mind maps of decision-takers and decision-makers.

The relevance of this study is devoted to overcoming a complex of social, environmental and economic problems in urban planning associated with the effective use of former industrial territories and the creation of public spaces with the preservation of architectural monuments. Foreign experience has shown the possibility of using former industrial areas through their renovation. Full use of all territories of the city ensures its integrity and connectivity of the transport system. Creation of new functions in buildings and on the territories of historical industrial enterprises, rethinking the architecture of industrial buildings (renovation, reconstruction and rehabilitation), which will lead to an influx of funds and investors, will make it possible to reproduce and maintain former industrial facilities at a new historical stage. Identifying ways to harmonize and develop the urban environment through the renovation of industrial areas is one of the urgent tasks in the formation of the concept of sustainable development of the city. Recommendations are presented for the implementation of the renovation of industrial territories, an analysis of the existing experience in the renovation of industrial territories, trends in the further development of their architectural and planning structure are revealed. The main aspects of the renovation of industrial territories are given, which will allow creating a more comfortable urban environment, developing social infrastructure and convenient public spaces. Industrial areas and former factory and factory buildings that are being renovated have a number of features that make it possible to use these features as an aid to new opportunities. Former industrial territories are often located in the central parts of cities and by activating these territories, this area can bring income to the economy, improve the environment, and itself provide comfort for each resident.

Industrial ecology is an advanced form and ideal model of modern industrial development, in which the industrial ecosystem is the core. Based on the PSR model, this paper builds a comprehensive evaluation index system for urban industrial ecosystem development and selects 14 prefecture-level cities in Liaoning Province of the traditional industrial area in Northeastern China as cases to calculate the development level of its industrial ecosystem during 2000–2018 using an improved Topsis method and then to conduct a spatial visualization analysis. Finally, based on the “stress-state-response” subsystem, this paper diagnoses the constraints for industrial ecosystem development, which can provide a reference basis for decision-making in industrial ecology of traditional industrial area represented by those in Northeast China. The results show the following: (1) From 2000 to 2018, the industrial ecology of the 14 cities in Liaoning Province was at a medium level. Except for Shenyang and Dalian with the rapid development, the difference of industrial ecosystem development for other cities was relatively small. (2) From 2000 to 2018, the industrial ecosystem development of each city was in a status of “either increasing, or decreasing, or fluctuating,” which generally raised first and then decreased. Regarding spatial difference, the development exhibited a “center-periphery” pattern, with Shenyang and Dalian as the “dual-core” that were increasingly strengthened with significantly high-level industrial ecology. (3) At system level, PSR constraint grades for the industrial ecosystem development in the 14 cities of Liaoning Province were different. Constraint grades in the pressure subsystem, the state subsystem, and the response subsystem for the industrial ecosystem of Liaoning were 45.73%, 20.01%, and 34.34%, respectively, indicating that the lack of human response to the ecological environment and the pressure of human activities on the ecological environment during the industrial economy development were the main constraints affecting the process of industrial ecology in these cities. (4) Due to the differences in geographical environments, economic bases, industrial structures, and local development contexts, the major constraint factors of industrial ecosystem development in different cities are significantly different and complicated; however, there are five factors that are generally considered as major constraint factors in all cities, i.e., regional GDP, number of labor force employed in the secondary industrial sector, gross investment in fixed assets, amount of industrial sulfur dioxide removal, and production value from “three-wastes” comprehensive utilization. At last, this paper puts forward some recommendations and suggestions for providing scientific support for industrial ecosystem construction in the traditional industrial area of Northeastern China.

The difficulty in transforming old industrial areas constitutes a significant factor contributing to regional development imbalances. Can regional tax incentives, as a crucial component of regional policies, polish the "rust belt" regions? This study leverages the inaugural Value-Added Tax (VAT) reform in China as an opportunity to explore the potential of regional tax incentives in achieving sustainable development in traditional industrial areas. Drawing upon a comprehensive industrial enterprise database, we employ a Propensity Score Matching-Difference in Differences (PSM-DID) approach to examine the efficacy of these tax incentives. Our findings reveal that: (1) Regional tax incentives primarily enhance firms productivity by stimulating investment in enterprises, yet they do not contribute to improved investment efficiency or spur innovation within firms. (2) Regional tax incentives have alleviated financing constraints for enterprises in old industrial bases, significantly enhancing the Total Factor Productivity (TFP) of firms with higher financing constraints. This policy has had an even stronger impact on improving the TFP of state-owned and monopolistic enterprises. (3) Regional tax incentives have impeded productivity growth by preventing the exit of low-efficiency firms and the entry of high-efficiency ones. These incentives also increased the likelihood of "zombie firms" forming and failed to promote endogenous economic growth in the Northeast region. Additionally, they have distorted the allocation of resources towards capital and technology-intensive industries in that area. In China's old industrial bases, regional tax incentives should be coordinated with market-oriented reforms; these regional tax incentive policies should also be further enriched.

As industrial activities account for a large part of environmental degradation and carbon emissions in China, the geographic location of industries significantly shapes the environmental performance and quality of life of surrounding areas. Since the late-2000s, China has sought to combat environmental degradation through the relocation of polluting industries particularly from industrial areas within inner cities. Using the concept of industrial transfer, which has been used in the Chinese context to capture not only the relocation of, but also structural and procedural changes to, firms, the paper analyses recent changes to China’s industrial structure. These occurred during the so-called eco-transformation, which seeks to improve China’s environmental performance. The paper expands the concept of industrial transfer by focusing on the intra-regional processes of this wider policy-led eco-transformation process based on the case studies of three traditional industrial areas in Hunan province. Case study results suggest that the ongoing phase of industrial transfer differs from previous regional transfers as it considers environmental impacts, elevates the relevance of the urban and local scale, involves new actor groups and offers benefits to both original and new locations.

currently, there is an urgent issue of developing recommendations in the field of reconstruction and redevel-opment of industrial zones against the background of the lack of federal and regional programs for the re-profiling of industrial territories in Russia that regulate the procedure for working with industrial zones. The irrational use of land resources of cities, in which large areas are still occupied by industrial facilities, raises a number of problems of an economic and social nature: a high level of environmental pollution, and as a result, an increase in the incidence of the population, overloading of transport infrastructure, and a lower level of budget system income from harnessing the potential of urban land. In addition, a situation often arises when some of industrial enterprises fall into decay or completely cease their activities. And as a result, such of industrial areas degrade and are not exploited. Another important factor in this problem is the architectural appearance of the old industrial territories in the modern cities. During the industrial period of the formation of urban plans, the situation arose when in many cities such industrial areas are located in the central part of the cities and affect the architectural appearance of the urban environment. The article analyzes and discusses solutions to achieve a result when the industrial territories in the cities, after their reconstruction and reprofiling, in addition to new functional significance, become attractive centers with developed infrastructure

The territorial development of the city is studied on the basis of town-planning documentation and full-scale researches of residential and former industrial territories, the factors which have formed the basis of the concept of the general plan of development of the city are resulted. Options for the transformation of territories occupied by industrial enterprises are considered. The integrated concept of city development is analyzed, in particular, conversion proposals of development and improvement and modernization of abandoned territories of non-functioning and partially functioning industrial enterprises, the concept of residential development is analysed. The city of Chernivtsi in its economic and geographical location is an industrial, administrative and cultural center of the region, with a large historical and architectural heritage. Due to the growing demand for living space and the diversification of forms of housing, the intensive development of the city is becoming more expressed. Aspects of land consolidation are not yet a priority, however, thanks to a quality planning policy, sustainable development of the city can still be achieved. Newly built areas are characterized by a high level of compaction. The study of the territorial development of the city can lead to a better balance in the use of land resources, options for the transformation of the territories of former industrial zones and enterprises that are partially functioning in these areas or abandoned and liquidated. The application of the principles of sustainable urban development according to the European model has been further developed, the integration of the housing function into industrial areas has been improved on the example of the town-planning proposal for the development of former industrial zones. The city is constantly expanding. There is a tendency to build large-scale buildings outside the old town and traditional suburbs, which are not typical for this area, especially multi-storey residential and retail facilities. Their inclusion in the general structure of the city by type (function) and size (form) in accordance with the context of urban development is not observed. At the same time, the territory of the city on the outskirts is constantly increasing, which leads to further use of natural spaces and maximizing the distance to public and commercial institutions, as well as workplaces, due to which the ammount of traffic increases. Territorial development of the city is a consequence of the general concept of the general plan of development of the city on the basis of the factors which have formed its basis. These include: The concept of economic development of the city, which is based on a market economy and private initiative, the priority development of the service sector, the development of the tourism and leisure industry. Population dynamics. Hence the output of the quantitative indicator of the required areas. Planning constraints, environmental protection and rational use of natural resources. Available territorial resources and efficient use of territories. The concept of three-dimensional composition, planning structure and functional zoning of the city. Rational system of resettlement in relation to places of employment. A number of territories, which have a very favorable position in relation to the places of employment, to transport connections due to one reason or another have not been developed - complex engineering training, lack of networks, the presence of other restrictions. All areas are partially occupied by individual manor buildings. The master plan envisages the development of these areas by 2032 without access to agricultural land. The article also discusses the options for the transformation of the territories occupied by industrial enterprises. These options can be as follows: Change in the functional purpose of the territory due to the removal or closure of industrial enterprises that adversely affect the environment. Technical re-equipment of the enterprise on new technologies (with preservation of a profile) for the purpose of reduction of harmful influence on environment. Replacement of the profile or functional use of real estate due to the bankruptcy of the enterprise. As a result of field surveys of residential and industrial areas of the city and research of urban planning documentation of the city of Chernivtsi and the Integrated Concept of Urban Development, the former industrial areas of the city were also analyzed. During the survey of all districts of the city, old industrial areas were identified, which today, due to significant use and a favorable location within the city, need to be improved and modernized. According to the Integrated Concept of City Development, conversion proposals for the development and improvement and modernization of abandoned areas of non-functioning and partially operating industrial enterprises were provided.

Abandoned industrial territories are a significant problem for the spatial organization of Ukrainian cities and their economy. such industrial zones occupy a significant area in cities - from 12-18% to 23-27%. The planning of industrial districts took place in accordance with the industrial policy of the past. such large-scale productions in terms of types and structure are no longer needed. Empty industrial buildings and infrastructure facilities become burdensome for the city's economy, and also significantly affect the aesthetic and ecological component of the city. Poltava faced the fact that in terms of urban planning, the decline of industrial areas has led to the fact that industrial areas are in deep stagnation or operate semi-legally and unsystematically without taking into account the needs of the city and the community. The most advanced approach is to change the functional purpose, but this process is bureaucratic and not always effective for attracting investments. The revitalization of production and the creation of new jobs is important, which makes it possible to envisage the revitalization of degraded industrial areas in the spatial development strategies of cities and use them for the development of cities, including the creation of innovative structures (high-tech clusters, industrial parks, technology parks). So far, there are no normative legal acts in Ukraine that sometimes regulate the organization of such clusters. The closest functional content is the concept of "innovation structure", the creation of which is regulated by the Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine dated May 22, 1996. No. 549 "On the approval of the Regulation on the procedure for the creation and operation of technology parks and innovative structures of other types" Possibilities of renovating inactive industrial enterprises within cities and their integration into the city system without changing their purpose are considered. Modern trends in the revitalization of industrial areas and prospects for ecological stabilization in cities are analyzed. The prospect of further research is the identification and implementation of principles and methods of spatial organization of the revitalization of industrial territories.

The issue of public space in cities has recently become an increasingly discussed motive not only among architects, but also politicians and ordinary citizens. This is a topic that reflects the satisfaction and quality of life of all residents. Public space can be characterized as a space accessible to people at any time of day, designed for a wide range of different age groups, social classes, genders, and races. The perception of urban space by its inhabitants is an important part of research into urban structure and spatial planning. The process of mental mapping makes it possible to define potentially dangerous or otherwise critical areas of cities. Mental maps could reveal the specifics of fear of a defined group of people, including their reasons. Addressed identification of stressors is a key basis for increasing urban satisfaction and security. The paper presents a case study of positive and negative localities based on mental mapping in a typically medium-sized city in the Czech Republic, in Chotěboř.

Navigation systems are widely used today. These systems usually provide turn-by-turn origin-to-destination navigation instructions via visual and audio guidance. Whereas the systems most of the times work successfully, experiments have shown that users have problems in developing survey knowledge of the environment they passed through. This is due to the fact that users simply follow the instructions, without actively mentally mapping their current location in respect to the environment. The research presented in this paper aims at enriching conventional routing instructions with additional information (survey knowledge), which puts the route into the general spatial context and thus facilitates the building up of the users’ mental map of the environment. In this paper, first investigations are presented in terms exploring two different data sources for enrichment, namely topographic and VGI data. A taxonomy of relevant features and relations is given, and methods for their automatic extraction and evaluation are described.
