Tartu linna rattasõidu sobivus

Master’s thesis Curriculum in Landscape ArchitectureToday, many cities around the world want to increase the share of sustainable transport, especially cycling. Increasing the use of bikes in the city makes people healthier, improves the environment, and creates new healthy habits. To create bike-friendly cities you need a well-thought-out and safe cityscape. The aim of this research was to look at the use of bicycles in the city of Tartu, the main routes used, numbers over time, and the views and perceptions of the users old and new. In order to achieve the goal, several observations were carried out at different times and locations in Tartu, interviews with various experts were conducted and an online questionnaire asking about people's cycling habits was also done. The obtained results can be useful in improving the cityscape of Tartu, so that in the future the development of bicycle traffic would become one of the important points in the construction and design of roads. This would make the infrastructure of the city of Tartu safer and more efficient for all road users.Paljud maailma linnad tänapäeval soovivad suurendada säästva transpordi osakaalu, eriti just jalgrattaga liikumise osas. Jalgrattaga liikumine soodustab inimestel head tervist, muudab keskkonna paremaks ning loob uusi tervislike harjumusi. Et muuta linn jalgratta sõbralikuks on vaja hästi läbimõeldud ja turvalist linnapilti. Antud uurimistöö eesmärgiks oli uurida jalgrataste kasutamist Tartu linnas, peamisi kasutatavaid marsruute, palju inimesi üldse rattaga ringi liigub ning inimeste vaateid ja arusaamu rattakultuurist Tartus üldiselt. Eesmärgi saavutamiseks viidi läbi erinevatel aegadel ja erinevates kohtades mitu vaatlust, tehti intervjuud erinevate ekspertidega ning lisaks viidi läbi ka veebiküsimustik, milles uuriti inimeste enda rattakasutuse kohta. Saadud tulemused võivad olla kasuks Tartu linnapildi parandamisel, et tulevikus oleks teede ehitamisel ja projekteerimisel üheks oluliseks punktiks ka jalgrattaliikluse arendamine. Läbi selle muutuks Tartu linna infrastruktuur ohutumaks ja tõhusamaks kõigile liiklejatele

City to Nature

Bakalaureusetöö keskkonnaplaneerimise ja maastikukujunduse erialalTöö eesmärgiks oli muuta Turu tänav ja selle ümbrus jätkusuutlikumaks. Üheks katsumuseks oli just Emajõe ja Karlova linnaosa ühendamine, et muuta ala inimestele meeldivamaks. Tänavat analüüsides tuleb välja, et Turu tänav on barjääriks Emajõe ja Karlova linnaosa vahel ning liiklus tänaval on väga tihe. Inimesed eelistavad pigem liikuda kesklinna poolel kui Sõpruse silla lähed.Väljapakutud projekteerimise eesmärgiks oli omavahel paremini siduda Karlova linnaosa ja Emajõgi eri tüüpi haljasaladega ning tagada jalakäijate juurdepääs jõeäärsele alale. Samuti muudab haljastus liikluse Turu tänaval rahulikumaks ja loob kauni sissekäigu kesklinna.The aim of the design project was to change Turu street into sustainable urban space. Challenges of this street are the non-existent connections between Karlova district and river Emajõgi. The analysis of the spaces around the Turu street lead to fact that connection between river Emajõgi and Karlova district is bad and there is really heavy traffic. People also use space more near the city centre then near the Sõpruse bridge. The purpose of the proposed design project was to make better connection between city and river with different types of green areas and to ensure access for pedestrians to the riverside. Also to make traffic in Turu street more calm and create this welcoming entrance to the city centre

Current status of the multinational Arabidopsis community

The multinational Arabidopsis research community is highly collaborative and over the past thirty years these activities have been documented by the Multinational Arabidopsis Steering Committee (MASC). Here, we (a) highlight recent research advances made with the reference plant Arabidopsis thaliana; (b) provide summaries from recent reports submitted by MASC subcommittees, projects and resources associated with MASC and from MASC country representatives; and (c) initiate a call for ideas and foci for the “fourth decadal roadmap,” which will advise and coordinate the global activities of the Arabidopsis research community
