The Study of Safavi Northern Chahar-Bagh Street of Shiraz, Iran; from the Sta...Dorna Eshrati
The historical urban landscape is a new approach towards the historical city as the product
of human interaction with micro ecosystem over the passage of time that has recently gained a special
position in urban conservation. This paper begins with raising the question that how this approach can
be used to solve the challenges of conservation and development of historical cities. Exploring the
conservation documents indicate that viewpoint to historical city has shifted from ‘the atomistic perspective
to holistic’, ‘static to dynamic’, ‘product-oriented to process-oriented’, ‘conflict with micro-ecosystem
to interact with micro-ecosystem’, and ‘the contrast of conservation and development’ to the integration
of them. The purpose of this paper is to review the northern Safavi Chahar-Bagh street of shiraz in the
city master plan to find out how the street conservation and development is based on historical urban
landscape. The data for this research were collected through observations and documents review and
were analyzed qualitatively. The survey results show that the new doctrines of urban conservation seek
to integrate conservation and development based on historical urban landscape; however, the definition
of the Historical city boundary in the master plan of shiraz is still based on static and atomistic doctrines
that consider historical cities limited to the historical wall. This is while the northern Chahar-Bagh street
of shiraz which was the main historical axis of the city during the Safavi period was located outside the
historical wall of the city. Not paying attention to this street has caused the gradual destruction of this
historical urban landscape, despite the individual protection of some of its elements. Reviewing the case
study based on the historical urban landscape approach reveals the need for a reconsideration and revision
of the developments urban plans.

The enhancement of small historic centres: integration between urban and landscape quality
Authors: Authors: Francesco Selicato, Francesco Rotondo, Pierangela Loconte, Claudia Piscitelli
Urban planning is a technical and political process concerned with the development and design of land use and the built environment, including air, water, and the infrastructure passing into and out of urban areas, such as transportation, communications, and distribution networks.
Urban planning deals with physical layout of human settlements. The primary concern is the public welfare,which includes considerations of efficiency, sanitation, protection and use of the environment,as well as effects on social and economic activities.
Urban planning is considered an interdisciplinary field that includes social science, architecture, human geography, politics, engineering and design sciences. It is closely related to the field of urban design and some urban planners provide designs for streets, parks, buildings and other urban areas.
Urban planning is also referred to as urban and regional planning, regional planning, town planning, city planning, rural planning, urban development, physical planning, urban management or some combination in various areas worldwide.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

5. Prof. Helen Maistrou – Topic 6.3: Preservation of Historic Cities Educational Linkage Approach In Cultural Heritage Historic cities start with two essential capitals: first the ir built and natural environment and second their socio – cultural values. The planning process for their preservation must cover the following: A. Documentation and evaluation of the historic city. B. Analysis of the existing situation and the conditions of urban life in the historic area. C. Understanding of the transformations of the historic components of the city over time as well as its existing problems. D. Identification of the desired situation, definition of the desired results, choice of the appropriate means to protect all the material and spiritual elements that express the cultural heritage of the historic city and formulation of a management strategy for the sustainable development of the city, that integrates the conservation and restoration goals.
6. Prof. Helen Maistrou – Topic 6.3: Preservation of Historic Cities Educational Linkage Approach In Cultural Heritage Planning for the preservation of historic cities is concerned with the conservation of the urban fabric and its cultural content as a whole, and not with architecture alone. Such a planning needs a multidisciplinary approach covering architectural, archaeological, historical, technical, social and economic aspects. It is very important to proceed in a. understanding and evaluation the cultural context and the values of the urban landscape, before any intervention in order to achieve its preservation. b. identifying the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and risks of the city, as well as the present and future needs of the community, in order to assure the quality of life as well as its sustainable development. The historic city of Nafplio 18 th century
7. Prof. Helen Maistrou – Topic 6.3: Preservation of Historic Cities Educational Linkage Approach In Cultural Heritage The project has been based on a General Town Plan (1983-85) on a special Town Planning Study (1985-87) that has been held for all neighborhoods of the town, as well as on a series of special projects for the renewal of public space. (1992 – 1994). C. The historic city of Nafplion will serve as a case study of a sustainable planning and design process that has been held for the city, aiming at: · Integrated conservation. · Improvement of human environment and life quality. · Sustainable development.

9. Prof. Helen Maistrou – Topic 6.3: Preservation of Historic Cities Educational Linkage Approach In Cultural Heritage Cultural context defines the character of the city that is mainly composed by : its setting and historic patterns, its spatial elements and urban fabric, its buildings stock, as well as by people living in the city, land use, social and economic structure. Cultural historic context embodies aesthetic, historic, scientific, social and spiritual values for the present and future generations. The significance of the place should guide any planning decisions.

11. Prof. Helen Maistrou – Topic 6.3: Preservation of Historic Cities Educational Linkage Approach In Cultural Heritage The analysis of a historic city focuses first of all, on the general image of the area, which is shaped by the geometrical features and the outline of the built environment in relation with the natural elements of the landscape on which it emerged . Especially crucial is the understanding of: the city ’ s form and structure, depending on the topography of the site, as well as on its history and its archaeology findings, the nature around the city as well as the natural elements in the city,
12. Prof. Helen Maistrou – Topic 6.3: Preservation of Historic Cities Educational Linkage Approach In Cultural Heritage The original use of the city through history, as administrative center and important commercial port (from 16 th to 18 th century) and first capital of the new state before Athens (1828-1834), have created its cultural context. The physical location of the historic center, along with the fortifications for the city's defense and the maritime landscape, are crucial elements for the general image of the city
13. Prof. Helen Maistrou – Topic 6.3: Preservation of Historic Cities Educational Linkage Approach In Cultural Heritage The first section of the city completed during the first period of Venetian domination (1389-1540) is characterized by the quaintness of the area and the free arrangement of roads and their adaptation to the intense sloping of the terrain. During the second period of Venetian occupation (1686-1719), we have the development of a second zone where the terrain is more flat and the whole style of the area is more urban. A defensive wall was built along the sea cost that defined to a great degree , the width of the roads running along it. The third zone of the city has been developed through 19th century, after the deliberation of the city from Ottoman invasion THE HISTORIC EVOLUTION OF THE CITY
14. Prof. Helen Maistrou – Topic 6.3: Preservation of Historic Cities Educational Linkage Approach In Cultural Heritage The historic center of Nafplion combines the image of a medieval town, characterized by the quaintness of the landscape, the free arrangement of roads, the free placing of monuments within the urban web and the unplanned open spaces, with the image of the cities of 19th and 20th century, which reintroduce the classic model of rectangular forms in the urban tissue.
15. Prof. Helen Maistrou – Topic 6.3: Preservation of Historic Cities Educational Linkage Approach In Cultural Heritage The density of structures , the relation between built and open areas, as well as the important buildings – landmarks, the morphological variety of the facades, the quality, the workmanship and texture of the surfaces, the construction materials and the colours used, attribute the unique identity to the old city.
16. Prof. Helen Maistrou – Topic 6.3: Preservation of Historic Cities Educational Linkage Approach In Cultural Heritage Some important buildings dating back to the Ottoman or Venetian period of the city, as well as neoclassic buildings dating after the deliberation of the city in 1828, constitute basic elements of the cultural historic context. Few modern buildings, built by famous Greek architects, contribute to the architectural heritage of the city.
17. Prof. Helen Maistrou – Topic 6.3: Preservation of Historic Cities Educational Linkage Approach In Cultural Heritage The historic center confronts a great pressure from tourism facilities that displace its traditional functions (residence, trade, services) deteriorate its image and corrode the distinctive features of its historic buildings as well as its social and cultural identity. The residents are being driven away from the historic center, by the increase of land values and by the levels of noise, the proliferation of bars, restaurants and cars.

Secure the necessary cultural and social infrastructure by reusing historic vacant public buildings. Upgrading of public spaces in all the neighbourhoods of the city
23. Prof. Helen Maistrou – Topic 6.3: Preservation of Historic Cities Educational Linkage Approach In Cultural Heritage The act of preservation planning must be the process of Understanding the character and the quality of the urban landscape, its historical and architectural values, individual buildings, urban tissue, green spaces, etc, in order to preserve and enhance them. Understanding the intangible cultural identity of the urban entity -its social, economic and functional characteristics- as well as its evolution in time Identifying the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, risks and development possibilities of each place, and the present and future needs of the community, looking at the new and old districts as a whole, in order to assure the quality of life of their residents, as well as their sustainable development. Managing change in a sensitive manner to preserve the character of the locality while permitting necessary development. Enhance sustainable urban design, through regeneration projects, for upgrading urban voids, the public space, the technical infrastructure, and through reusing vacant buildings and restauring deteriorated building stock. Making the community appreciate the values of their place and participate to the conservation and planning process.
