Mrak, Lara (author), Fikfak, Alenka (mentor), Grom, Janez Peter (comentor), Wesener, Andreas (comentor)

This thesis explores the management of urban community gardens during the planning phase, prioritizing development and management processes over final design solutions. It focuses on studying The Municipality of Kranj, where urban community gardens have gained importance due to their social, economic, cultural, and environmental benefits. The thesis draws on six management approaches identified by Fox-Kämper et al. (2018) and investigates whether these established approaches can be applied as design motifs for new gardens. The analysis identifies three approaches that are most suitable for locations in Kranj, based on the criter where community creation is the key motive. Each approach is assigned an individual design feature, which directly reflects the implemented approach.

• Title: Oblikovanje skupnostnih vrtov: Implementacija različnih upravljalskih pristopov na lokacijah v Kranju

Abstract

Ta diplomska naloga raziskuje upravljanje urbanih skupnostnih vrtov v fazi načrtovanja, pri čemer daje prednost razvojnim in upravljavskim procesom pred končnimi oblikovalskimi rešitvami. Osredotoča se na preučevanje Mestne Občine Kranj, kjer so urbani skupnostni vrtovi pridobili na pomenu zaradi svojih socialnih, ekonomskih, kulturnih in okoljskih koristi. Opira se na šest pristopov k upravljanju, ki so jih identificirali Fox-Kämper in sod. (2018), ter raziskuje, ali je mogoče te uveljavljene pristope uporabiti kot oblikovalske vzorce za nove vrtove. Analiza identificira tri pristope k upravljanju, ki so najbolj primerni za lokacije v Kranju glede na kriterij katerega ključni motiv je kreacija skupnosti. Vsakemu od njih dodeli individualno oblikovno značilnost, katera je neposreden odraz implementiranega pristopa.
