=== Step 3 - Reporting ===
*Please write, as a group, a 250 words reflection on your concept mapping process
*[[Group A Reflections on Readings, LED Seminar 2016|Group reflection on the readings - PARTICIPATION is the term core on which our conceptual maps revolve, that because participation is an expression of sharing, of democracy and of a social system in which decisions are common and meet common.
From participation we analyzed the Decision Making Process and the tools necessary to be effective.
in cases of shared planning, right tools are necessary both to adjust the work between the parties (making it available to everyone ), both train people to this type of collaborations.
Professionals and ordinary people make their contribution in making decisions or planning : the first for knowledge and specific skills by engagement, the latter by participation, because they are the voice of the person who will live the changed place.
People, moved by the cultural environment, by the idea of beauty in a social context and by the attention that a cultural climate give to the commons, if they are encouraged to have a conscious idea of "ideal landscape", are motivated to participate actively.
Each idea is feasible if there is a considerable number of people involved, condition available only if it takes a focused information, designed to raise awareness of both the problem should be addressed together, both to make known the problem should be faced together.
Historically the idea of “landscape” has undergone many changes but to date fits well with the concept of cooperation and participation in fact from the '60s the "landscape" concept is closer to the idea of “product of the society”.
“Landscape is integrative, it functions as a platform to get people together to consider the future of the places they want to live in.” (International Federation of Landscape Architects).]]

== Change Process ==

''Look at the various methods and tools available and think how they can be applied creatively. Think about the needs of different stakeholder groups - you may need a methodical mix to address them all. Illustrate graphically how these methods/tools might be applied in a short, medium and long-term perspective.

== Rationale: Why have you chosen this case for the landscape and democracy seminar? ==
* ''It was the first time that people, citizen and inhabitants could get involved in Arezzo by reflecting on the place where they were living and express their opinions.''
* ''In all my country, the shared participation in public projects is not spread: it is very difficult to find important positive examples.
In 2008 in my city, Arezzo, the public administration wanted a “participated process” to realize the project of upgrading Sant’Agostino square, a central historical place in the urban conformation that had fallen into decay.
The administration designed a “path”, developed through stages and activities ,that required the stakeholders to say and do something concrete and that create co-responsibility in decisions aimed at improving the quality of life and spaces.

After that, from the “preliminary draft” the public administration asked to architect's studios by notice a “final project” but without considering only the winner one: from the many solutions the administration wanted to synthesize a definitive single project. It appened that, for this reason, the guild of architects has appealed to the regional court but lost because of the notice conditions that encouraged a " participated project ". This is proof that in Italy this way of planning is not widespread.''

== Reflection ==
=== What are the major challenges for changing the situation? ===
*''The two big challenges are:
1) try to better inform people;
2) change mentality , so that the democratic planning of the territory become the practice for public administration , for professionals and for citizens too. Consequently the right tools must be created to put into practice that.''

=== What could be a starting point for democractically-based change? ===
*''
The “path” designed from the administration was divided in steps:
1) Create many homogeneous focus group including all categories (male, female, residents , traders , adults , young, old…) and reflect on the same themes to collect the needs of all;
2) Make a survey;
3) Meet in a assembly enlarged with technicians for a feasibility study;
4) Conclude the “preliminary draft”; 5) Create the final project with competent professionals. The tools used from the administration had been adequate but it is useful used socialmedias too (but in 2008 were not spread as today). The Public Administration should “raise the voice” to involve people, because very often people have no way of knowing for themselves the existence of certain initiatives and socialmedias area perfect communication channel , especially for young. The disagreement between the public and technicians is the proof that nor the Administration, nor professionals make use of this “shared” design process and there are not tools and mentality to do it. There is the possibility that many people didn’t know about the opportunity to participate and that today not many know that the project has been the result of a dialogue between the parties or , more generally, is possible that few people know that exists this method of sharing ideas to improve our territory .''

== Rationale: Why have you chosen this case for the landscape and democracy seminar? ==
* ''It was the first time that people, citizen and inhabitants could get involved in Arezzo by reflecting on the place where they were living and express their opinions.''
* ''In all my country, the shared participation in public projects is not spread: it is very difficult to find important positive examples.
In 2008 in my city, Arezzo, the public administration wanted a “participated process” to realize the project of upgrading Sant’Agostino square, a central historical place in the urban conformation that had fallen into decay.
The administration designed a “path”, developed through stages and activities ,that required the stakeholders to say and do something concrete and that create co-responsibility in decisions aimed at improving the quality of life and spaces.

After that, from the “preliminary draft” the public administration asked to architect's studios by notice a “final project” but without considering only the winner one: from the many solutions the administration wanted to synthesize a definitive single project. It appened that, for this reason, the guild of architects has appealed to the regional court but lost because of the notice conditions that encouraged a " participated project ". This is proof that in Italy this way of planning is not widespread.''

== Representation of your observations ==
* ''you are basically free to use one or a mix of different presentation techniques''
* ''possibilities are: analytical drawings, graphical representations, collages, video clips, comic/graphic novel, written essay/visual essay''
* ''please add any visual material to the gallery, videos can be placed below, you may add text as you like''

== Reflection ==
=== What are the major challenges for changing the situation? ===
*''The “path” designed from the administration was divided in steps:
1) Create many homogeneous focus group including all categories (male, female, residents , traders , adults , young, old…) and reflect on the same themes to collect the needs of all;
2) Make a survey;
3) Meet in a assembly enlarged with technicians for a feasibility study;
4) Conclude the “preliminary draft”;
5) Create the final project with competent professionals.
The tools used from the administration had been adequate but it is useful used socialmedias too (but in 2008 were not spread as today). The Public Administration should “raise the voice” to involve people, because very often people have no way of knowing for themselves the existence of certain initiatives and socialmedias area perfect communication channel , especially for young.
The disagreement between the public and technicians is the proof that nor the Administration, nor professionals make use of this “shared” design process and there are not tools and mentality to do it. There is the possibility that many people didn’t know about the opportunity to participate and that today not many know that the project has been the result of a dialogue between the parties or , more generally, is possible that few people know that exists this method of sharing ideas to improve our territory .

* ''In all my country, the shared participation in public projects is not spread: it is very difficult to find important positive examples.
In 2008 in my city, Arezzo, the public administration wanted a “participated process” to realize the project of upgrading Sant’Agostino square, a central historical place in the urban conformation that had fallen into decay.
The administration designed a “path”, developed through stages and activities ,that required the stakeholders to say and do something concrete and that create co-responsibility in decisions aimed at improving the quality of life and spaces.

After that, from the “preliminary draft” the public administration asked to architect's studios by notice a “final project” but without considering only the winner one: from the many solutions the administration wanted to synthesize a definitive single project.

The disagreement between the public and technicians is the proof that nor the Administration, nor professionals make use of this “shared” design process and there are not tools and mentality to do it.

Allegrinibenedetta: From the atmosphere in which everyone works with a proper purpose and for himself it is not easy to change the way people work because they lack the mindset and the right tools necessary to cooperate.

Allegrinibenedetta: Reflection: the government has to talk to the citizens and not not expect that citizens will always inform themselves, because it often does not happen. It is possible. This is possible only by being communicative with people.

=== Reflections ===
'''Placed on top of a high point in the landscape lies the church.''' A row of trees on both sides of the road makes it hard to miss. Allé brings rhythm to the landscape and leads the passersby towards the church. It can be seen as a symbol in the landscape, promising that something of great worth can be found at the end. As an arrangement, it is quite rigid and formal.

The church has great views due to the high location and looks mighty. Church as a symbol is at the same time static, meaning that it represents christianity and humans connection to God, but it has also changed throughout time and history. The church itself is still used in similar ways as before but maybe not as frequently. It is a historical symbol but also much more. It serves as a social meeting place and allows people to connect with their past while they are connecting with eachother. It can be seen as a center of the community and carries great identity on many levels of the society. It is also a sacred symbol and touches the lives of many throughout the celebrations of human life. It is still a strong christian symbol and might seem excluding to some groups, provoking to others.

=== Reflections ===
''Please write a 250 words text reflecting on the following questions, you can also take ideas from your group members into account''
*How and why did the symbols you identify appear in your landscape?
*Did their meaning change along with socio-political, economic, environmental or cultural changes in your region, or country?
*What do these symbols mean to you today? Are they meaningful to more than just one cultural group? Are they shared across cultures?

''The city's gates have an historical importance and they are what survives from the medieval old Bologna. This radial structure of the town and his extension lasted until the '60s when the city has begun to grow. During last century gates lost the utility because now they don't define the border between the city and the country and they can't monitor who enter in the city and who go out. They now only are monuments.
Every gate now is the link between the center of the city, so the old part, and the new part in all the directions. What remains is the general function: it is a place of passage that create a path and that directs people in the heart of the town.
They remind the arcades that traditionally spread in all the center. One symbol of Bologna in fact is the arcade and his main use is in the gate.
Moving in the center is very simple in fact the walls of the city are like a circle and it is easy to find direction referring to the city gates.
Today the gates of the city are of course shared across cultures because we can find them in all the old cities in all countries and because they came from many traditions far from a specific religion or a specific kind of power. For everybody they are a landmarks that identify the district where they rise.

</gallery>

=== Reflections ===

The monument is not very good visible in the landscape, but it's interesting and many people sit next to Karski to take a photo, and then get to know his history thanks to the text on the right site of the monument. I've got to know it by the visit in the Museum of the History of Polish Jews, which is next to the monument and I watch it always when I go there.

Its meaning didn't change along with socio-political, economic, environmental or cultural changes in my region and country because the socio-political, economic, environmental or cultural changes are not visible yet

This symbol is important for me because it's one of some "democratic monuments" in the city. It's a nice "human" monument. It's meaningful to more than just one cultural group: Poles, Jews, Germans and Americans, so it is shared across cultures.

== Landscape Symbol 4- Araguaia Palace Palmas Brazil, Haroldo Pereira ==

</gallery>

=== Reflections ===

The city of Palmas is the last planned capital in the XX century and was designed to be the capital of Tocantins, the newest state of Brazil. Palmas was designed between two landmarks, one natural (Carmo's Sierra) and the other artificial (Lajeado's Lake). The city has lots of other landmarks, such as the Girassol's Square (2nd biggest square in the world) and the Aragauia Palace. The square is located in the meeting point of the two main axial avenues of Palmas.
Havan is a brazilian department store and has over 90 stores in Brazil, including one in Palmas. The store has the replica of the Statue of Liberty as the symbol, and usually has a huge replica of it in front of the store. The biggest statue has 57 meters high, and it's the biggest statue in Brazil.
In Palmas, the statue inserts itself in a strategic point turning itself in a landmark that has a huge impact in the landscape of the city and has no concern with the context and has no reason to be in such a strategic point.
In some cities, the store was not allowed to put the statue. The facade is also a problem . One of the facades has a "poor greek classical"intention on it, and the other three are just blank walls.
For some, the statue reinforces the lack of concern with the landscape of the city and the area in which the statue is inserted, and how a brand has the power to consolidate itself changing a whole skyline by just creating a visual focal point. But for others, the statue is a good thing, as it turned into a new " tourist attraction".

== Group reflection ==

''The group A reflected on the symbols proposed by participants.
For what is about architecture we want to stress the difference between the buildings considered.
The church in the nature is a little place closely linked to religion where few people go. In fact, the users of this place go there with a precise intent and they are only a part of the citizens.
The statue is a controvertial symbol in the city, as it became an important landmark that has no concern with the landscape of the city and the area where the statue is located. It respresents the power of a brand to consolidate itself by changing a whole skyline with the creation of a visual focal point.
The gate of the city instead is a place of transition where people go through, it is an open link from the center and the new part of the city. Behind its design there is not a need to satisfay.
A symbol can also be a monument that everybody can look. A monument can be more or less politically involved.
The Bench of Jan Karski refers to a single person but it has also a general aim of express the extermination of Jewish minority by Germans and Polish help to them in a person of Karski, but also the American (dis)engagement with rescuing Jews. The Memorial Symbols are spread and they are referred to who lost life in the recent war, so they are holy, they have particular meaning link with a specific moment.''

''The city's gates have an historical importance and they are what survives from the medieval old Bologna. This radial structure of the town and his extension lasted until the '60s when the city has begun to grow. During last century gates lost the utility because now they don't define the border between the city and the country and they can't monitor who enter in the city and who go out. They now only are monuments.
Every gate now is the link between the center of the city, so the old part, and the new part in all the directions. What remains is the general function: it is a place of passage that create a path and that directs people in the heart of the town.
They remind the arcades that traditionally spread in all the center. One symbol of Bologna in fact is the arcade and his main use is in the gate.
Moving in the center is very simple in fact the walls of the city are like a circle and it is easy to find direction referring to the city gates.
Today the gates of the city are of course shared across cultures because we can find them in all the old cities in all countries and because they came from many traditions far from a specific religion or a specific kind of power. For everybody they are a landmarks that identify the district where they rise.

The monument is not very good visible in the landscape, but it's interesting and many people sit next to Karski to take a photo, and then get to know his history thanks to the text on the right site of the monument. I've got to know it by the visit in the Museum of the History of Polish Jews, which is next to the monument and I watch it always when I go there.

Its meaning didn't change along with socio-political, economic, environmental or cultural changes in my region and country because the socio-political, economic, environmental or cultural changes are not visible yet

This symbol is important for me because it's one of some "democratic monuments" in the city. It's a nice "human" monument. It's meaningful to more than just one cultural group: Poles, Jews, Germans and Americans, so it is shared across cultures.

The city of Palmas is the last planned capital in the XX century and was designed to be the capital of Tocantins, the newest state of Brazil. Palmas was designed between two landmarks, one natural (Carmo's Sierra) and the other artificial (Lajeado's Lake). The city has lots of other landmarks, such as the Girassol's Square (2nd biggest square in the world) and the Aragauaia Palace. The square is located in the meeting point of the two main axial avenues of Palmas. Havan is a brazilian department store and has over 90 stores in Brazil, including one in Palmas. The store has the replica of the Statue of Liberty as its symbol, and usually has a huge replica of it in front of the store. The biggest statue has 57 meters high, and it's the biggest statue in Brazil. In Palmas, the statue inserts itself in a strategic point turning itself into a landmark that has a huge impact in the landscape of the city and has no concern with the context, so it has no reason to be in such a strategic point. In some cities, the store was not allowed to put the statue. The facade is also a problem . One of the facades has a "classical" intention on it, and the other three are just blank walls. For some, the statue reinforces the lack of concern with the landscape of the city and the area in which the statue is inserted, and how a brand has the power to consolidate itself changing a whole skyline by just creating a visual focal point. But for others, the statue is a good thing, as it turned into a new " tourist attraction".

== Group reflection ==

''The group A reflected on the symbols proposed by participants.
For what is about architecture we want to stress the difference between the buildings considered.
The church in the nature is a little place closely linked to religion where few people go. In fact, the users of this place go there with a precise intent and they are only a part of the citizens.
The Araguaia Palace is a big building with a political sense where people again go with a precise intent. The square is available to everybody and not only for a minority.
The gate of the city instead is a place of transition where people go through, it is an open link from the center and the new part of the city. Behind its design there is not a need to satisfay.
A symbol can also be a monument that everybody can look. A monument can be more or less politically involved.
The Bench of Jan Karski refers to a single person but it has also a general aim of express the extermination of Jewish minority by Germans and Polish help to them in a person of Karski, but also the American (dis)engagement with rescuing Jews. The Memorial Symbols are spread and they are referred to who lost life in the recent war, so they are holy, they have particular meaning link with a specific moment.''

'''Placed on top of a high point in the landscape lies the church.''' A row of trees on both sides of the road makes it hard to miss. Allé brings rhythm to the landscape and leads the passersby towards the church. It can be seen as a symbol in the landscape, promising that something of great worth can be found at the end. As an arrangement, it is quite rigid and formal.

The church has great views due to the high location and looks mighty. Church as a symbol is at the same time static, meaning that it represents christianity and humans connection to God, but it has also changed throughout time and history. The church itself is still used in similar ways as before but maybe not as frequently. It is a historical symbol but also much more. It serves as a social meeting place and allows people to connect with their past while they are connecting with eachother. It can be seen as a center of the community and carries great identity on many levels of the society. It is also a sacred symbol and touches the lives of many throughout the celebrations of human life. It is still a strong christian symbol and might seem excluding to some groups, provoking to others.

'''Placed on top of a high point in the landscape lies the church.''' A row of trees on both sides of the road makes it hard to miss. Allé brings rhythm to the landscape and leads the passersby towards the church. It can be seen as a symbol in the landscape, promising that something of great worth can be found at the end. As an arrangement, it is quite rigid and formal.

The church has great views due to the high location and looks mighty. Church as a symbol is at the same time static, meaning that it represents christianity and humans connection to God, but it has also changed throughout time and history. The church itself is still used in similar ways as before but maybe not as frequently. It is a historical symbol but also much more. It serves as a social meeting place and allows people to connect with their past while they are connecting with eachother. It can be seen as a center of the community and carries great identity on many levels of the society. It is also a sacred symbol and touches the lives of many throughout the celebrations of human life. It is still a strong christian symbol and might seem excluding to some groups, provoking to others.

The monument is not very good visible in the landscape, but it's interesting and many people sit next to Karski to take a photo, and then get to know his history thanks to the text on the right site of the monument. I've got to know it by the visit in the Museum of the History of Polish Jews, which is next to the monument and I watch it always when I go there.

Its meaning didn't change along with socio-political, economic, environmental or cultural changes in my region and country because the socio-political, economic, environmental or cultural changes are not visible yet

This symbol is important for me because it's one of some "democratic monuments" in the city. It's a nice "human" monument. It's meaningful to more than just one cultural group: Poles, Jews, Germans and Americans, so it is shared across cultures.

The city of Palmas is the last planned capital in the XX century and was designed to be the capital of Tocantins, the newest state of Brazil. Palmas was designed between two landmarks, one natural (Carmo's Sierra) and the other artificial (Lajeado's Lake). The city has lots of other landmarks, such as the Girassol's Square (2nd biggest square in the world) and the Aragauaia Palace. The square is located in the meeting point of the two main axial avenues of Palmas. Havan is a brazilian department store and has over 90 stores in Brazil, including one in Palmas. The store has the replica of the Statue of Liberty as its symbol, and usually has a huge replica of it in front of the store. The biggest statue has 57 meters high, and it's the biggest statue in Brazil. In Palmas, the statue inserts itself in a strategic point turning itself into a landmark that has a huge impact in the landscape of the city and has no concern with the context, so it has no reason to be in such a strategic point. In some cities, the store was not allowed to put the statue. The facade is also a problem . One of the facades has a "classical" intention on it, and the other three are just blank walls. For some, the statue reinforces the lack of concern with the landscape of the city and the area in which the statue is inserted, and how a brand has the power to consolidate itself changing a whole skyline by just creating a visual focal point. But for others, the statue is a good thing, as it turned into a new " tourist attraction".

Allegrinibenedetta: Moving in the center is very simple in fact the walls of the city are like a circle and is easy to find direction referring to the city gates. The city gate has an historical importance and they are what survives from the medioeval old Bologna.
