A Considerate Approach to Space; Selection of Texts; Sonja JurkoviÄ
With a collection of texts written between 1990 and 2010, Sonja JurkoviÄ marked her forty-year long professional career in architecture, landscape architecture, urban planning, and teaching at the Faculty of Architecture in Zagreb. Eighty selected texts clearly reflect the authorās intention to teach her students how to treat space with respect. She favours the ethical approach and aesthetically pleasing architecture well integrated with its surroundings in order to manifest a considerate approach to space which is the underlying message of this monograph. The book contains a series of texts addressing the role of planning in contemporary society from an expert point of view aimed at raising awareness of the importance of urban, physical and landscape planning. The structure of the book reflects the authorās consistency in dealing with key issues within the domain of her competence. Thus the majority of texts are dedicated to urban quality of life in Zagreb, a river in a city, specifically the Sava river, Park Maksimir, park heritage, problems related to landscape, and the interventions in landscape, cities, and Istria region
Urban Planning Criteria for Defining Privately Owned Public Spaces (POPS)
This research is based on the systematic literature review related to the definition of Privately Owned Public Spaces (POPS). POPS arise as a bonus of the urban planning concession resulting from negotiations between private investors and city administration. The question arises whether, during their formation, the urbanistic criteria that ensure public space quality are sufficiently represented, or the superior private interest results in critical urban quality aspects. By comparatively analyzing the definitionsā key features, nine specific POPS aspects have been identified and classified into two categories according to basic criteria: impact on investors and on broader urban contexts. The results show that a group of spatial criteria (usage impact, userās perception, connectivity, urbanity and socialization) have been neglected or ignored in defining POPS. Current definitions do not consider the importance of POPS influence in a wider urban context and POPS is not, in any way, controlled or connected to the comprehensive process of urban planning, which can lead to a neglect of the fundamental roles and quality of public space. Further studies should focus on analyzing the impact of POPS in a broader urban context as well as defining mandatory urban planning criteria for insuring the quality of public space
The Role of Landscape in Planning the City of Zagreb from the Early 20th to the Early 21st Century
Razvoj teorije pejsažne arhitekture i suvremenih svjetskih primjera dobre urbanistiÄko-pejsažistiÄke prakse govore u prilog sve veÄem znaÄenju i viÅ”estrukim ulogama pejsaža za razvoj grada.

Quarries on the Island Veliki Brijun; The Beginnings of their Rehabilitation and Adaptive Reuse in Croatia
Istražuju se primjeri oblikovanja i prenamjene povijesnih kamenoloma Velikoga Brijuna nastali u sklopu pejsažne sanacije otoka na prijelazu 19. na 20. stoljeÄe. Å est detaljno analiziranih primjera perivojnog preoblikovanja predstavljaju znaÄajan primjer ranog obrata paradigmi pejsaža degradiranog eksploatacijom kao prostora potencijalno visokih ambijentalnih vrijednosti. To su prvi primjeri sanacije i prenamjene kamenoloma u Hrvatskoj i meĆ°u prvima u Europi.This article explores several cases of the old quarries on the island Veliki Brijun which were rehabilitated and converted during the process of the entire landscape restoration of the island in the late 19th and the early 20th centuries. An in-depth analysis of six cases of landscape redesign shows the potential to transform devastated and degraded landscapes into areas with great ambience value. These are the first cases of stone quarry rehabilitation and conversion in Croatia and among the first ones in Europe
