Degraded areas as a potential for the establishment of alternative cultural activities

V magistrskem delu smo povezali dve aktualni temi, ki sta pogosto slabše obravnavani: (1) degradirana območja, za katera je v večini evropskih držav že prepoznan njihov potencial za prenovo, v Sloveniji pa šele v zadnjem času ta prihaja v ospredje ter (2) alternativna kultura, ki se v večini primerov ta začne razvijati prav na degradiranih območjih. V delu najprej opredelimo pojem in tipologijo degradiranih območij ter razlike v definiciji po različnih državah. Sledi podrobnejša predstavitev prenove, njene problematike, deležnike in pomen sodelovanja javnosti pri procesu oživitve degradiranih območij. Prav tako smo pregledali zakonodajo nekaterih evropskih držav in Slovenije na tem področju, predstavili ukrepe nekaterih slovenskih avtorjev ter na kratko opisali model postopka prenove in ponovne oživitve. Pri drugi tematiki smo opredelili pojem alternativne kulture in samoniklega prizorišča, predstavili povezavo samoniklih prizorišč z degradiranimi območji ter poudarili pomen kulture in kulturne infrastrukture pri revitalizaciji mest. Analizirali smo pomembnejše centre alternativne kulture v Evropi in Sloveniji, kjer smo na podlagi ugotovitev in s pomočjo modela prenove degradiranega območja izdelali teoretičen model prenove za umeščanje vsebin alternativne kulture na degradiranem območju. Na terenu smo popisali vsa potencialna degradirana območja za vzpostavitev samoniklega prizorišča v mestu Ptuj in jih predstavili v obliki kataloga. Vsa zajeta degradirana območja smo s pomočjo izbranih kriterijev iz analize samoniklih prizorišč in s pomočjo teoretičnega modela vrednotili, nato izbrali najprimernejšo lokacijo in izdelali strateški načrt prenove degradiranega območja z vzpostavitvijo samoniklega prizorišča na primeru stare usnjarne Koteks.The thesis connects two current topics that are often poorly addressed: (1) degraded areas, for which the potential of renewal has already been recognized in most European countries, while in Slovenia it has only recently come to the foreground and (2) alternative culture, which in most cases, begins to develop precisely in degraded areas. The thesis first defines the concept and typology of degraded areas and the differences in definition across different countries. This is followed by a more detailed presentation of the renewal, its issues, stakeholders, and the importance of public participation in the process of revitalizing the degraded areas. We have also reviewed the legislation of some European countries and Slovenia in this field, presented the actions of some Slovenian authors, and briefly described the model of the process of the renewal and revitalization. In the second topic, we have defined the notions of alternative culture and self-established site, presented the connection between self-established site and degraded areas, and emphasized the importance of culture and cultural infrastructure in the revitalization of cities. We have analysed the more important centres of alternative culture in Europe and Slovenia and based on the findings and with the help of the model of the renewal of a degraded area, we have created a theoretical model of renewal for the placement of the contents of alternative culture in the degraded area. In the field, we have listed all potential degraded areas for the establishment of a self-established site in the city of Ptuj and presented them in the form of a catalogue. Using the selected criteria from the analysis of the self-established sites and with the help of the theoretical model, all the covered degraded areas have been evaluated, after which we have selected the most suitable location and prepared a strategic plan for the renewal of the degraded area with self-established site on the example of the old tannery Koteks
