Museum institutions occupy an important place in cultural and touristic movements. They contain numerous valuable funds from the fields of archaeology, history, ethnology, architecture, fine and ...applied arts, as well as from the daily and everyday life of citizens. Novi Sad, the second largest city in Serbia, on the Pannonian plain, is known for its extremely rich history and cultural heritage. The museum complex named "Museum of the City of Novi Sad" was founded in 1954 and includes: the main or central building of the museum, the Collection of Foreign Art, the Memorial Collection of Jovan Jovanović Zmaj and the Meat Collection of Sremski Karlovac. The main goal of the work is to present the tourist offer of the Museum, and to determine its positive and negative cultural-historical values through tourism valorization using the qualitative-quantitative method and SWOT analysis, and thus to point out the potential that this institution can have in the development of tourism. Novi Sad and the whole country.
Novi Sad and Petrovaradin, as two inseparable entities, have undergone large urban changes in the latest decades. Huge transformations in morphological features and spatial structure of Novi Sad ...occurred in the period from the breakup of Yugoslavia to the end of the second decade of the 21st century. The transformation of Petrovaradin followed at a slower pace at first but later on it intensified. The paper data rely on General Urban Plans of Novi Sad from the years 1985, 2000 and 2006. The comparative method, field research and analysis were applied to identify the parts of the city which underwent the largest transformation processes. Certain changes in the structure of street networks, changes in the inner physiognomy of the settlement, as well as disruption of architectural balance have been recognized. The direction of urban transformations has been identified by the analysis of social changes. Also, the present and potential problems were pointed out including the improvements which the inhabitants gained due to urban transformations of Novi Sad and Petrovaradin. It has been estimated that urban transformation in Novi Sad led to disruption of architectural style in certain parts of the city by erecting modern buildings which do not integrate into the setting of architecture from earlier periods neither with their exterior nor with the materials used. Contemporary building structures occupy larger areas of municipal building land, the number of apartments per unit area increases, the need for parking spaces also increases and green areas are reduced in the city.
The paper talks about the facts that were established in the research of the origin of fruits and vegetables in the markets of Novi Sad. The results of the research are presented using graphic and ...cartographic methods. Observed illogicalities are clarified in communication with consumers and sellers. The obtained results were compared with foreign works. One of the goals of the work was to determine the extent of suburban agriculture, which should be the most competitive with others further away from the city. Economic factors have a decisive influence from where the city will be supplied with fruits and vegetables.
By the end of the 20th century, a new specific form of tourism was presented to the world by the name of architourism. Architecture, in a general sense, is science and the art of projecting and ...shaping buildings or, i.e., interior and exterior architectural space. Novi Sad, the second largest city in Serbia, located on Pannonian Plain, is famous for its incredibly rich historic and cultural heritage. There are various styles of architecture dominating the city itself, among which is the ever-present Art Nouveau in the Hungarian style. Novi Sad has fewer monuments and buildings erected in this style, as opposed to Subotica, but they are very high-quality and distinctive. Some influential architects had worked in that period in Novi Sad, and on top of that list was Lipot Baumhorn, responsible for the Synagogue, Menratova palace, the palace of "Vojvođanska banka", followed by Karolj Kovač, Đerđ Kopecki, Imre Frensek, Geza Markuš, Frđeš Špigel, Bela Peko, and others. This paper aims to emphasize the cultural-historic influence of buildings in the Art Nouveau style as a significant form of tourism.
The aim of the paper is to map the transformation of historical and cultural trauma - "when an entire city ended up under the ice" - that restored collective memories of the city to the transnational ...memory and narratives of absolute victims, and to show the transformation through the analysis of Cold Days (András Kovács, Hungary) and Monument (1967, Miroslav Antić, SFRY). Their complementary narratives about the Novi Sad raid, told from different national perspectives, opposing perceptions of victims and perpetrators, from the point of view of generations and postgenerations (the author of this text belonging to the latter), side by side with titles that only touch on a topic, like The Jews are Coming (Prvoslav Marić, 1991, SFRY) and Hourglass (Szabolcs Tolnai, 2007, SFRY), become, at the same time, spaces for inscribing the intricate dialectic of ethnicisation and de-ethnicisation of memory and a cultural framework that shapes images of the past and interpretations of history. In the same vein, the paper uses three theoretical interpretive frameworks - "violence as a generative force in the Balkans" (Max Bergholz, 2016); transnational remembrance and absolute victims and "memory and complicity" (Debarati Sanyal, 2015) - which open up new readings of the past and writing history in films, in line with the contemporary political context. The paper recognises the mentioned de-ethnicisation as a shift from ethnic to ethic, marked by the eth/n/ic word play, and thus connected with the fundamental question of identity and the relationship between identity and memory. At the same time, shaping the memory of the individual and the memory of different social groups to which he / she belongs in the collective memory, testifies to how the latter "became a powerful symbol of numerous political and social transitions" that require individuals to (re)position themselves in society.
Between three and four thousand civilians, primarily Serbian and Jewish, were murdered in the Novi Sad massacre of 1942. Hungarian soldiers and gendarmes carried out the crime in the city and ...surrounding areas, in territory Hungary occupied after the German attack on Yugoslavia. The perpetrators believed their acts to be a contribution to a new order in Europe, and as a means to ethnically cleanse the occupied lands.In marked contrast to other massacres, the Horthy regime investigated the incident and tried and convicted the commanding officers in 1943-44. Other trials would follow. During the 1960s, a novel and film telling the story of the massacre sparked the first public open debate about the Hungarian Holocaust.This book examines public contentions over the Novi Sad massacre from its inception in 1942 until the final trial in 2011. It demonstrates how attitudes changed over time toward this war crime and the Holocaust through different political regimes and in Hungarian society. The book also views how the larger European context influenced Hungarian debates, and how Yugoslavia dealt with memories of the massacre.
Novi Sad is a city with great potential for becoming a major cycling city. However, there have been certain obstacles standing in the way. Via survey, people who cycle expressed their satisfaction ...with the number of parking spots, storage space at home, safety in traffic, quality of cycling paths, and density of cycling paths. On the other hand, a group that does not cycle was asked for reasons behind it as well as for their opinion on how to involve more cyclists. Furthermore, we tried to illustrate the importance of social activism in promoting cycling as well as its role in implementing new social policies. This paper offers an insight into the origins of the present issues while presenting potential solutions based on already implemented methods from other major cycling capitals. Overall we propose novel approaches to tackling this issue with the hope of using this research for making the future policy more coherently and continuously. Only with a multidisciplinary and integrative approach from different parts of the community, Novi Sad can fulfill its potential to become a safe and efficient area for cyclists.
The objective of this paper is to present and apply automatic algorithms to evaluate and improve non-stationary outdoor thermal comfort in urban areas. The effects of urban planning on thermal ...sensations are analyzed in three linear urban street designs and in non-linear arrangement of the streets with no vegetation in Novi Sad, Serbia. A temporal analysis is performed for extreme hot and cold days using universal thermal climate index (UTCI) simulations in the Grasshopper program. In future linear street design, the frequencies of the greatest thermal stress situations substantially decrease on hot summer days and slightly increase on cold winter days. Past, present, and future urban designs of linear street are compared, and the largest UTCI decreases are noted at 10, 17 and 18 UTC on hot summer days at 11 UTC on cold winter days. Future planed and proposed urban design of linear and non-linear streets is compared and the largest UTCI decreases are noted at 10 UTC on summer day and increases at 11 UTC in winter day. The building height and density increases in the future street design will modify the thermal environment. The proposed automatic algorithms are applicable for the analysis of human thermal comfort in various urban designs and climates.
•A parametric approach for urban outdoor thermal comfort is introduced.•Automatic algorithms were developed and applied in Grasshopper.•Building height and density increases reduced the UTCI values.•Shading by buildings decreased (increased) the thermal stress in summer (winter).•The algorithms are applicable for landscape planning and thermal comfort studies.
