Short Introduction to the Area of Study

The study area is located in S-W part of Belgrade, approximately 6,5km (≈4 miles) from the center. It is a part of one of the Belgrade’s hills – Banovo brdo, and includes W and N-W hillsides with total size around 1,3km2 (≈0,5 square mile). Height distance (altitude) between the highest and the lowest spot on the slope is 70 meters. Because of the specific form of relief, direction of the streets is parallel to isohypses. Steep streets, that extend perpendicular to isohypses, give long-distance sights. Residential area is mainly consisted of opened and semi-opened urban blocks of medium density, local park, green market and central traffic and pedestrian spine – Pozeska Street. Because it represents community collector, Pozeska Street includes some administrative, commercial and other urban functions. Neighborhood collectors and local streets contain small, private, commercial facilities. Taking into account the value of the neighboring zones (River island Ada from North, farming fields on West and park-forest Kosutnjak on East) and peaceful, almost uniformly residential part concentrated around crowded and lively Pozeska street, it is clear that this area is probably one of a kind in Belgrade. Its specific context, relief, urban structure and presence of many utilities, provides that this area and people in it operate almost apart from rest of the city. Therefore, it would be challenge to assess and improve this unusual everyday landscape. ==
