Research note
This Research Note presents a proof-of-concept methodology for evaluating urban stability by integrating entropy with a novel graph-based centrality measure. We propose the HA2/P index, where the squared convex hull area of a street segment’s reachable zone is divided by its perimeter, capturing both extent and compactness of accessibility. Weighted by indicators such as building area, population, greenery, and water, this index was calculated fo…
Visibility and Reachability of Interwar Modernism (Kaunas Case)
This article presents a novel methodology for assessing the visibility and reachability of cultural heritage objects within urban structures, tested through a pilot study in Kaunas New Town (Naujamiestis), Lithuania. While heritage protection policies usually emphasize architectural composition, details, and external visual protection zones, interior urban views and functional spatial dynamics remain underexplored. Building upon Space Syntax theo…
Simulative Modeling of Psychologically Acceptable Architectural and Urban Environments Combining Biomimicry Approach and Concept of Architectural/Urban Genotype as Unifying Theories
This research explores the integration of biomimicry and architectural/urban genotype concepts to model psychologically acceptable environments. Drawing on foundational psychological theories—Gestalt, Attention Restoration, Prospect-Refuge, and Environmental Psychology—this study examines the private–public interface at the various urban resolutions, encompassing land plots, buildings, and urban structures. Biomimicry serves as a unifying framewo…
Mathematical Graph Based Urban Simulations as a Tool for Biomimicry Urbanism
Biomimicry studies natural systems and attempts to use the gained knowledge and understanding to solve human problems. Can biomimicry, if applied in urban planning, help to make our cities more sustainable or, precisely, more friendly for walkable and 15-minute city models? Various researchers identify the following features of natural systems as form fits function, catalysis of cooperation, local contextuality, continuity of development, diversi…
Understanding community perspective on the heritage of locality
Purpose Community involvement in heritage preservation requires appropriate approaches. Sanciai (in Lithuanian: Šanciai) historic district in Kaunas (Lithuania) has long-lasting military and industrial heritage, valuable urban structure and connections to the natural frame of the city. Sanciai residents’ willingness to participate in heritage preservation and urban planning prompted the aim of this research – to develop, test and present the mapp…
The Concept of Pervading Authenticity
The article focuses on the notion of Historic Urban Landscape (HUL) introduced by the UNESCO in 2005 and 2011 responding to the expanding understanding of cultural heritage and the urgent call to reconcile heritage preservation and contemporary urban developments and re-introduce heritage as a driver of urban and overall societies development. The research suggests that the understanding of the notion of authenticity plays the fundamental role in…
Integrating Content Analysis Into Urban Research
The content analysis approach is well-established and acknowledged sociological research technique, although it is constantly evolving and its field of application is expanding. The aim of the article is to demonstrate the possibilities to use the content analysis method in urban studies. It includes the analysis of literature and the example of methodology design in the frame of case of the study of modernization of Lithuanian cities during the …
Knowledge transfer in sustainable management of heritage buildings. Case of Lithuania and Cyprus
Urbanization Influence on the Relicts of Soviet Rural Landscape
The article deals with the possible reuse of the relicts of the Soviet rural landscapes in the areas of rural–urban interface of a postcommunist country using the Lithuanian example. It presents the short review of the development and features of the Soviet rural landscape in Lithuania; the analysis of the sociocultural, economic, ecological, and aesthetic issues related to the relicts of this type of landscape under the pressures of urbanization…
Sustainability of Lithuanian villages with churches and landscape
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to analyze the historical, cultural, and social significance and the role in landscapes of Lithuanian villages with churches and to formulate the hypothetical framework for their revitalization and consequent sustainable development of country's rural landscape. Design/methodology/approach – The methodology of the research encompassed the desktop study (analysis of literature, archival data, maps, and statis…
Urban regeneration in the context of post-Soviet transformation
Cultural Heritage of Roads and Road Landscapes
Over time roads and their surroundings gained historic and cultural significance. This significance is oftentimes acknowledged and numerous roads and road infrastructure objects with their surrounding environment are listed and protected. Notwithstanding this, it is necessary to note that the ways in which roads, their surrounding environment, and adjacent objects can manifest heritage values, can be complex, and are not limited to historic roads…
Minding Our Manors
The article presents an analysis of the present state of and prospects for preserving Lithuanian manor residences. It describes the general state of historic preservation in Lithuania and surveys the history of Lithuanian manors from their initial construction until the present, revealing the impacts of political, social, and landscape changes to this heritage. The nation's turbulent history, its repeated occupations, agrarian reforms, and change…
Influence of Built Heritage on Sustainable Development of Landscape
The concept of sustainable development has influenced the evolution of many scientific and practical activities. An application of this concept to landscape, as a product and a field of interaction of human and natural processes, is possible and necessary. It is evident that concepts of landscape and cultural heritage are closely interrelated: cultural heritage can obviously exist in a landscape and influence it as well as landscape can be treate…
