AB  - In the post-socialist period, there were many changes in the post-Yugoslav region. The dissolution of the state and the civil war were just some of the most important events. The successor states went through the post-socialist transition at a different pace. The political and economic transition had a significant impact on the social status of the population. According to numerous international urban studies, there is a causal relationship between the social status of the population and the housing situation. Looking at the social status of the population in Belgrade, it is obvious that the social status decreases from the centre to the periphery. The housing situation in Belgrade is very heterogeneous. First, there is a historical centre filled with buildings from different eras: from the pre-World War II period, from the socialist period and from the post-socialist period. Secondly, there are socialist neighbourhoods that surround the historic core of the city. Finally, there are the neighbourhoods on the periphery, which are mostly informally built. The withdrawal of the state and the reintroduction of market mechanisms in the housing sector, drastic proportions of owner-occupied housing, the expansion of illegal construction activity, international isolation during the 1990s and the subsequent reconnection to the global economy, albeit with extremely weakened institutions, characterised post-socialist housing and urban development in Belgrade. Added to this was another wave of demographic pressure from the former Yugoslav republics and Kosovo. Through the lens of social status and housing situation, we observe the patterns of residential segregation in the post-socialist period. Due to the incomparability of statistical data from different periods, we use a combination of sources and research approaches. The first two decades of the post-socialist period were analysed at the level of census units, using data on the education of the population as a proxy for their social status.

AB  - The settlement of Germans on the territory of today's Vojvodina began in the early 18th century, when after several wars the border between the Habsburg and Ottoman empires was established. The presence of so-called “Danube Swabians” was evident until the end of the World War II, i.e. the end of the Nazi occupation, when most of them were expelled by the new socialist government in Yugoslavia and deprived of their civil rights and property. After the expulsion, they found refuge in different parts of the world. For some of them, Brazil was the final destination like for many other peoples of German origin, e. g. Hunsrik-speaking “Deitschbrasiliooner”. Yet, socially and historically the situation was substantially different.
This poster focuses on a little-known segment of the "Donauschwowe" from former Yugoslavia, who in 1951 formed a new community of 500 families that eventually emigrated to Entre Rios, Gemeinde Guarapuava in Paraná (Brazil). What began as an agrarian society "Agrária" seems to have evolved into a vibrant cultural and linguistic community that has preserved many Danube-Swabian traditions and the language to this day. While the community members’ preservation efforts are well documented (e.g. YouTube videos, homeland museum within the cultural foundation), there has been little relevant research on the linguistic issues raised by this bilingual situation, including the historical dimension of language contact (it can be assumed that Serbo-Croatian played the most important role here, although not exclusively).
Our aim is to start filling this gap by providing a cartographic and historical-contextual framework for further research on the virtually extinct communities of Yugoslav "Danube Swabians" in the post-World War II period, with special attention to the above-mentioned minority in Brazil. In accordance with our interdisciplinary background, our poster offers 1) introductory historical and demographic facts about the Danube Swabians who emigrated to Guarapuava (Brazil), presented with several maps, and formulate 2) open questions about the corresponding socio-demographic, ethnographic and linguistic changes, which we intend to address in our further research. We will draw on census data, existing historical maps, online spoken and multimedia sources, and literature on Danube-Swabian dialects and German language minorities in Latin America.

AB  - Participatory democratic practices happen as a part of everyday life as the problem of power does not primarily concern sovereignty but our bodies, our existence, our everyday life (Foucault 2012, 167). Therefore, participatory democratic practices must also be spatial, and the rethinking of democratic connections must consider spatial thinking in terms of physical public space as "empty" and open (Hoskyns 2014). On the other side, public spaces are appropriated materially and symbolically (Bourdieu 1991), what leads to the inevitable hierarchization of public spaces, thus giving legitimacy to the exclusion of certain groups. Democratic transition in Eastern and Central Europe, therefore, includes the question of public spaces in urban areas, which directly affect and reflect both architectural and political issues. The tension between the demands of democracy and reality reflects the willingness to include everyone in democratic processes. The Pride Parade insists on the civic model through visibility and activism, and it seems to become more problematic the more democracy is degraded. B&H and Serbia have shown significantly different stages of development since 1992. How this is reflected in the attitudes and practices towards the use of space for expressing resistance and visibility will be shown in the example of the Pride Parade in Belgrade and Sarajevo from the period of the first parades. Public urban space is a place where people of different social and economic classes necessarily meet and confront (Harvey 2006). Collective history is inscribed in public space (Läpple 1991, Klamt 2012), which has significant social effects on the very practices of use.

The article considers the decline in social status from the centre to the periphery as the main feature of citywide segregation in Belgrade, along with perpetuated peripheral informality. It also examines the impact of large-scale socialist estates, which were intended to contribute to an egalitarian society and counteract residential segregation. To examine the long-term patterns of residential segregation in Belgrade, we use a combination of sources and research approaches, due to the incomparability and lack of statistical data. Recent changes in segregation patterns during the first two decades of the post-socialist period were additionally analysed at the census-unit level, using data on the education of the population as a proxy for their social status.

AB  - Most Europeans live in an urban environment, and the green future of cities is one of the most important issues for scientists and policy makers across the continent. Serbia is an EU candidate country in the process of incorporating EU legislation into national law, and environmental policy is an important part of this process. Belgrade, the dominant urban region in Serbia and its capital, should be a role model. A green future is recognized by city authorities as an important goal of urban planning and design. Moreover, the growing environmental awareness of citizens makes it necessary to create a more sustainable and livable city. In this article, we analyse the green development of the city of Belgrade, detect announcements and plans, and follow their implementation. We also raise some questions about the green urbanism in Belgrade. In recent years, construction activity in the housing sector has increased, although planning is often fragmented and guided by the profit-seeking interests of real estate investors. We ask for whom the green development is intended - is it part of sustainable development and does it improve the quality of life for city residents, or is it a mean to attract investment and increase investor profits?

AB  - This chapter elaborates policies, processes and phenomena shaping the present housing stock and residential segregation in Belgrade, within historically defined political, economic and institutional contexts. The aim is to reveal drivers, mechanisms, and patterns of micro-segregation in Dorćol, Belgrade's central neighbourhood with housing stock differentiated in quality, age and market attractiveness. Data for this research were collected from official census, registry of purchased housing units, and semi-structured in-depth interviews with experts from real estate agencies, and local population. Besides providing insights in contemporary segregation and market differentiation of the housing stock in Dorćol, the chapter also lays the foundations for the forecasting of their future development trajectories.

AB  - Since the collapse of the socialist system, cities in Central Eastern European countries have undergone dynamic transformation processes. Those processes have attracted noteworthy scientific attention, particularly in local academic circles, causing revived interest in urban studies in the region. However, the academic interest in former socialist cities has become the centre of discussion it-self. This interest is mostly related to the validity of theories and methodologies born in the West to the study of former socialist cities. On one side, there is a cohort of academics who have uncritically embraced Western urban knowledge, a priori assuming its universal applicability. This research position is commonly related to the developmental and convergence theories, which take “correction” of the post-socialist cities and their eventual assimilation to the Western city as their model. On the opposite side of the spectrum, the post-colonial approach has developed as a stand which criticizes the alleged scientific hegemonism of the West and insists on a more cosmopolitan urban science that would take into ac-count the experiences of cities worldwide. Simultaneously, this approach advocates for considering urban particularities and complexities, and thus this re-search treats post-socialist cities as distinctive, in many instances, from the cities of the West, as well as from each other. However, as both contemporary academic stands have their limits and flaws, the debate on adequate research of former socialist cities as well as on the future positions of urban science in general, is far from conclusive.

However, as both contemporary academic stands have their limits and flaws, the debate on adequate research of former socialist cities as well as on the future positions of urban science in general, is far from conclusive.",

AB  - Horizontal shallow geothermal applications are easy to install, and their installation process is less liable to legislation than other geothermal systems. Due to a lack of planning guidance, the opportunity to implement such systems is often overlooked, although geothermal installations are urgently needed as a sustainable energy source. To give a foundation for including very shallow geothermal systems in local heat supply planning, potential maps are crucial. To enable their utilization in energy use plans or similar elaborations for municipalities, location-specific and system-specific heat extractions are required. Since applicable standards are not available, it is nearly impossible to provide aggregate propositions, which are essential for potential maps. In this study, a concept was evolved for deriving very shallow geothermal potential maps with location-specific and system-specific heat extraction values. As a basis, VDI 4640 Part 2 information regarding heat extraction and respective climate zone references was utilized. Furthermore, climate information and a soil map were needed to apply the concept to the study area. The application of the concept in an Austrian study area resulted in appropriate potential maps. Moreover, this concept is similarly applicable in other areas of interest.

AB  - Informal migrations from the Middle East and North Africa to Europe since 2015 and their social, economic, and political implications have attracted the attention of the general public and policymakers, but have also been the focus of research in numerous social and urban studies.
As a region in the transitional phase, and officially in the process of EU accession, the Western
Balkan countries offer a special perspective. In that sense, Serbia, as well as Bosnia and
Herzegovina (BiH), play important roles as countries that border the EU, and therefore suitable
ground for the analysis of the practices of setting boundaries, actual state of porosity of
boundaries set, both symbolic and physically at the local and global level. An increasing number
of migrants has developed various informal spatial practices, as well as initiated changes in
public spaces. The new dynamics emphasize these spaces’ characteristics as those of public and
collective participation, as well as of potential conflicts, and permanent transformation processes.
On the one hand, massive migration flows have triggered increased nationalism, xenophobia,
and fear, but have also increased civic engagement and led to new solidarities, not only ‘from
above’, but also ‘from bellow’. This article examines public spaces beyond a neoliberal discourse
by highlighting their function as meeting points, offering possibilities for dialog between
‘privileged’ and ‘unprivileged’ population.

AB  - In post-transitional urban developments in Central and Eastern Europe, increasing importance of artists and other stakeholders of the creative sector has come with a delay. Particular in Serbia this delay is even more pronounced, because of the country’s complex situation at the end of the 20th century (civil war, isolation, late political transition etc.). Whereas the rise of creative milieus and the increasing role of artists in the shaping of city quarters became a widespread and well-known trend in Western cities, Southeastern European cities for a long time did not elaborate any strategies about involving artists in contemporary urban developments. Thus, city quarter development in regard to strengthen creativity and creative businesses is a new phenomenon in these cities. On the one hand these spaces are shaped by creative dynamics and inspired be artists, on the other, by governance mechanisms and by influence of different non-artistic stakeholders. This chapter presents a case study of the quarter of Savamala in Belgrade. In this case of an emerging creative neighborhood various stakeholders are involved in urban development of the district. Through interviews with stakeholders urban dynamics are identified, as well as governance mechanisms which lay behind the transformation of this quarter. The new development initiatives and the public image of Savamala as a quarter of creativity are reconsidered. The question of future development possibilities in regard to the various stakeholders involved, their interests, and powers is also posed.
