Raising citizen awareness through promoting benefits of small urban streams revitalization
Apstrakt
Revitalization of urban streams is becoming an increasingly prominent topic in Serbia mainly because of the apparent problems with the urban streams – floods, pollution, and neglect of surrounding areas. A number of projects advocating contemporary approach to revitalization of river beds, riparian areas and surrounding zones were proposed but were not entirely successful.
While the expert community is well aware of the problems regarding the urban streams, citizens know very little about it or about the opportunity to turn the streams once thought as a problem into attractive and valuable urban spaces. Therefore, in order to achieve broad citizen participation that is necessary to successfully implement projects of urban stream revitalization, the public needs to be educated and informed about the importance of the streams. Such projects can have many benefits for city life, not only ecological but also social and economic. Promoting the benefits is a good way to gain the interest of... the public. However, exactly what benefits are brought to forefront depends on the project, context, local culture, and target groups.
This paper will explore how much are citizens of Belgrade informed about its urban streams. Are they aware of the role and potential benefits of the streams? We will discuss which of the benefits should be emphasized and promoted most in order to achieve the broadest participation of citizens in the projects concerning the revitalization of Belgrade’s urban streams.
