Sociological spatial analysis of Prešeren Square in Ljubljana

Description

The research analysed the public's response to the proposal to reorganise Prešeren Square in Ljubljana in 1988. The key act of rearrangement was the envisaged placement of a fountain in the center of the square. Due to the sensitive symbolic and identity meanings of this central urban area, and partly also due to the specific political situation in Slovenia in 1988, the intention triggered numerous and very turbulent reactions. The analysis covered over 3000 records collected in the comment book, which was offered when the fountain was dismantled at a scale of 1: 1 at the intended location. The vast majority of comments strongly opposed the proposed reorganisation. The analysis of discourses revealed a variety of symbolic and identity meanings and attitudes towards the urban space. In addition, the analysis also identified the "non-spatial" i.e. the general socially critical content of the comments triggered by the planned intervention in sensitive urban space.
