Concepts and definitions
Author 1: Kazi Zayed Titumir
- (A:Community identity formation in pontchartrain park:Journal of Urban History 39:36,Gafford, Farrah D. (2013))
Communal bondings are the most important for neighbourhood The interrelation between community and neighborhood provide opportunities to individual and family to develop their skill and knowledge. And also it boosts the self esteem, responsibility, and belongingness toward the community.
- (B:Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Sustainable Happiness: Hester, Randolph)
Isolation from the world creates immense impact on our brain Disassociation with the world gives us the feeling of freedom. But, the impact for very short period. Whether, it has a tremendous long term impact on us. Separation from nature, environment and community gives us a negative effect on everything.
- (C: A Refrain with a View, UC Berkeley, Hester, Randolph (1999))
Participatory action equalizes power Participatory approach, mainly reduces the dependency on administrative people. It segregates all the workload and liabilities on stakeholder, so that, they can propose what exactly their demands are. It creates the balance. Author 2: Mastaneh Mahfouzi
- ( A: Landscape and Democracy - Mapping the Terrain: Burckhardt, Lucius (1979): Why is landscape beautiful? in Fezer/Schmitz (Eds.) Rethinking Man-made Environments (2012))
Different perception of landscape landscape is a subjective reality, a certain landscape Scene can convey different meanings and feelings to different people due to their personality, culture,pre-expectation and etc. So different observers have different ideas about a certain place, in consequence, everyone has not the same charming place in mind.
- (B: Concepts of Participation: Day, Christopher (2002): Consensus Design, Architectural Press )
simultaneously cooperation of designers and owners Emotion demands are the invisible level of life, But also one of the most important and fundamental features in designing. in order to consider this feature of life, it's crucial that professionals and designers work simultaneously with users in order to reach subtle qualities and also provide all needs and demands of owners.
- (C:Designing: Hester, Randolph: Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Sustainable Happiness)
Satisfaction through sustainability: Sustainability can bring satisfaction for residents of a city in different aspects. A sustainable city should include three distinctive traits: enabling form, resilient form and impelling form. enabling form:We need new forms of habitation that let us feel, understand and empathize with the multiple roles in our ecosystems
Resilient form: In order to consider resiliently in a city at the scale of land use, They should be less dependent on nonrenewable energy sources.
Impelling Form: Impelling form should offer alternatives, be simple enough to comprehend
Author 3: Atiye Asadiha
- (Woodend, Lorayne (2013): A Study into the Practice of Machizukuri)
The importance of an understanding of the historic, cultural and recognizing and capitalizing upon the benefits and contributions of the multiple activities of communities towards the common aims of sustainability.
- (Massachusetts Institute of Technology (2013): Places in the Making: How Place-making Builds Places and Communities)
The best forms of community engagement, and in fact the best forms of place-making, are those that recognize and exploit the virtuous cycle of mutual stewardship between community and place.
- (Nassauer, Joan Iverson (1995): Culture and Changing Landscape Structure, Landscape Ecology, vol. 10 no. 4)
humans not only construct and manage landscapes, they also look at them, and they make decisions based upon what they see (and know, and feel). This dynamic helps to explain landscape structure as both an effect of culture and as an artifact that changes culture.

Author 5: Oleksandr Galychyn
- Imaginable landscapes are the path dependent single or multiple symbolic orderings (common assemblage networks) within specific community that pass to the the next generation as generalized knowledge through human or (non-human) mediator to foster a sense of community among the individuals.
- The debates the regarding the Right to the City open of question for the establishment of the new urban actor-civic society as a mediator in the participatory governance model to open a road towards an 'inclusive city'. An application of such actor to the urban planning process creates an opportunity for the realization of the spatially just society; therefore, the spatially just community is a community that both employs a participatory governance model at the local level and surpasses formal/informal functional restrictions towards the mutual partnership of during the neighborhoods lifecycle
- The 町造り(Machizukuri) can be perceived as the process of 'space making' that involve the local (urban) participatory network of residents and non-profit organization (research institutes, universities) organized for the entire urban lifecycle in accordance with the principles of innovation, knowledge and learning . The community involvement in the fusion of planning and design placed in the center of aspect the central role since design absent in the USA communities. Japanese perceive the community design process as the management and maintenance of infrastructural networks between buildings and the urban space during the entire lifecycle to preserve their imaginable landscapes as a collective identity for the future generations.

Landscape Symbols Author 5: ...
MSFAU was initially founded as the archeological museum to retain archeological finds of national enterprises in Ottoman Empire. At present this building is a symbol of equality for all in terms of art and architecture education (social) as well as the nostalgia that takes back to the Ottoman times palaces (historical), and rises a sense of national identity among the visitors of Istanbul (political).
The significance of Basilica Cistern, a one of symbols of Istanbul, at present reaches even a supranational scale. Currently, the local population views it as a symbol of technological dominance and centralized power (owing water means owing the gold) of ‘their own past’ (historical), protection from evil spirits (religious) and unequal access to the resources (social).To me it means ‘ the passage between our world and the underworld (realm of Hades)’.
The Dolmabahçe Palace was initially ( in 1856) planned as mixed-use multi-purpose complex that served as a means of separation of Sultan from its own nation. The ‘Dolmabahçe’ literally means ‘the filled garden’. This phrase can be understood as a mixed-use development, one of principles of sustainable community. Other cultures can understood this phrase as ‘gated community in old fashion’ or just view this palace as a simple museum without any complex symbolic definition.

Landscape Democracy Challenge 5_OLEKSANDR GALYCHYN
- Social exclusion of Scampia neighborhood
The social stigma associated with the gated communities in Scampia, emerged due to the Scampia neighborhood became the reason of social and physical separation and render an image of the most dangerous neighborhood in European Union. This fact confirmed during the meeting with the major actors that reside in the district as well as marginal workers (residents of slums)a few months ago during the case study as part of Erasmus+ project.
The illegal occupation of the incomplete and recently complete lots ( especially, M and L with the ‘Velle della Scampia’ ) after the earthquake by the homeless. Seven sails of M and L lots have been transformed into the squatter houses in the beginning of 80s, where landlords have pursued profits from unregistered homeless tenants.
The seven Sails of the architect Di Salvo represents a visual perfection without the physical(pedestrian-oriented design, resident-oriented facilities, traffic calming measures, etc.) and social integration (housing design) in the surrounding context.The underground space exists in four remained Sails (lot M)basements occupied by squatters " scantintisti".
The private sector is absent. The provincial administration is responsible for the planning and design while numerous NGO, formal and informal organization (bottom-up) are the main actors in everyday management and maintenance (territory outside of urban slums and gated communities). Any of the proposed local redevelopment plans in collaboration with the neapolitan architects and university professors were never implemented. In addition, strong bottom-up participatory activities of lower-middle class are separated physically by means of public facility (park)result in the support been "virtual" through indirect action rather than "actual" through the direct involvement(concerts at the main square in the park).
