The city of Niš, Serbia, has been an industrial production hub since the liberation from Ottoman rule and the construction of the railway infrastructure at the end of the 19th century. Following the aftermath of World War II, the city of Niš experienced an industrial bloom – redefining the urban landscape with numerous industria...

Pedestrian route choice in cities depends both on the overall structure of the street network and on local decisions made at points of directional change. While space syntax has shown the importance of configurational relations, wayfinding and navigation tasks point to additional cognitive mechanisms related to landmarks, route legibility, and task...

The urban transformation of Banja Luka, which during the final period of socialism (1975–1990), was guided by the City’s Urban Plan, has proceeded without a clear strategic vision of urban development since the late 1990s. During this period, the city developed according to detailed regulatory plans and was strongly influenced by neolib...

This paper presents a hybrid model integrating the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Genetic Algorithms (GA) to optimize construction machinery selection based on cost, CO2 emissions, maintenance, and age. AHP was used to determine precise weighting criteria, while a Python-based GA explored the solution space using technical penalty functions. ...

This study examines the load–deflection response of continuous self-compacting concrete (SCC) beams incorporating recycled coarse aggregates. Nine two-span beams with reinforcement ratios of 0.65–0.94% were experimentally tested using 50% and 100% aggregate replacement. Recycled aggregate beams showed slightly reduced stiffness and incr...

The paper presents the methodology for determining the most favorable method for buffer sizing in the Critical Chain Method (CCM), which is based on multi-criteria decision-making methods. The proposed methodology enables a complete and systematic solution to this problem, whose end result is a proposal for a buffer sizing method in accordance with...

The UAV LiDAR terrain model provides accurate identification of various landslide-related features, with a specific emphasis on terrain discontinuities known as scarps. This research aims to develop a quantitative method for identifying scarps using terrain-profile analysis of UAV LiDAR DTM. The research considers two landslide-prone areas located ...

Modernist architecture in Bosnia and Herzegovina remains marginalised within official heritage frameworks, with only limited institutional recognition. This study explores social media as an extended research environment for examining contemporary perceptions and social constructions of modernist heritage values. Using a case study of Kazimir Ostro...

This study investigates the performance of several digital elevation models (DEMs) over a selected area in Western Macedonia. The objective is to identify the most suitable DEM to serve as a reliable reference for the representation of topographic masses used in gravity anomaly determination, terrain correction computation, and geoid modeling. The ...

The Architecture of Emptiness is an urban-architectural approach that focuses on the qualities and possibilities of unbuilt space, giving it primacy over built space. The proposed approach explores how emptiness can act as a generative force for urban-architectural pieces and how, in return, it echoes its built and natural environment. It highlight...
