The initial\u0000 properties of the masonry material that determine its durability,\u0000 deterioration and degree of preservation have led to the appearance of\u0000 different approaches towards choosing the technology for restoring masonry.\u0000 The success of any restoration is largely determined by its compatibility\u0000 with the original materials used, which requires, as a rule, a complex and\u0000 long process of selecting their composition. One of the main technological\u0000 approaches in the science of restoration materials is to search for the\u0000 optimal composition of the material within a given time limit. This paper\u0000 presents an approach which uses a large number of variables within strict\u0000 boundary conditions. The solution to this problem can be found in the field\u0000 of mathematical modelling using experiment planning methods.

Pioneering urban projects in Algeria have been very difficult to implement. Our findings reflect enduring dilemmas concerning project management that is not backed by consistent political support, based on the case of the Constantine urban project. Data were collected using a number of tools including active observation, content analysis of project documents, two surveys intended for the project administration and Constantine?s residents, and interviews with elected representatives and professionals directly involved in the project?s development. Using a causes tree and an Ishikawa diagram in the data analysis, we identify the factors that have affected the implementation of the Constantine urban project. The findings of this research demonstrate that the factors with the greatest influence on the project fall within the areas of project management, stakeholder management, policy support, the democratic participatory process and regulation. These factors are the reason for the critical failure of the urban project in Constantine.","PeriodicalId":38713,"journal":{"name":"Spatium","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68813158","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A decline in the total population size and population aging have already spread from rural to some urban areas. The case of Serbia is no exception. The focus of this article is the parameters of demographic change analysed particularly for larger (cities) and smaller (towns) urban settlements - population size, birth rate, rate of natural increase, average age of first-time mothers, total fertility rate, share of the young and elderly population, average population age, and developing demographic trends. The paper also stresses the necessity to use other definitions for a ?city? than the one used in legislation or statistical reports, by showing the extent to which results might differ depending on the chosen definition. One of the definitions used in this paper relies on a slightly adapted division of settlements used in statistical reporting, while the other is based on the Law on Local Self-Government (2007), the Law on the Territorial Organization of the Republic of Serbia (2007) and functional urban areas defined by the Spatial Plan of the Republic of Serbia. Cities and towns are observed from the perspective of their spatial distribution; therefore, each parameter is considered at the settlement, regional and district level.","PeriodicalId":38713,"journal":{"name":"Spatium","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68812988","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

All the data related to the apartments in Sarajevo is primary data, collected by means of observations and measurements, evaluated through qualitative and quantitative analysis, and set in the frame of an explanatory and comparative multiple case study. The results indicate that, in terms of their functional configuration, the apartments are mostly configured as atypical and unstandardized.

Addressing the deindustrialization process is an issue of developmental and economic policy. A reindustrialization strategy or a new industrial policy could be one answer, and this has to be addressed if the share of industry in the GDP is to increase. Both qualitative and datagiven approaches have been applied to the analysis of deindustrialization and to the question of how to improve the conceptual framework for reindustrialization in Serbia.
