MobEx – Mobile Exhibition of Urbanism, Landscape Design, Land-Use Planning and GIS
The project MobEx in the form of mobile exhibition in the countries of V4 is presenting different approach for the solving of urban and landscape structures in this region. The intention of this project has been to establish the field for the interface exchange of experiences, knowledge and different approaches to creation between students, professionals and public in the countries of V4. Herewith it has established the field for the presentations of the actual approaches to the creation and realisation of the land-use planning data and documentation from zonal to the regional structures. It is an important for the raising information of laic and expert public, which can the process of land-use planning compare between countries of V4. MobEx is also showing the new trends in the presentation of the land-use data and documentation and in designing of the concrete projects using geographical information systems.
The institutions from among of all countries of Visegrad Four express the will and optimism for studying this issue on the international level. Coordinator of the project is Faculty of Architecture, Slovak University of Technology in Bratislava with guarantee Ing. arch. Juraj Furdík, PhD. The project partner from Poland is Faculty of Architecture, University of Technology in Cracow, with guarantees Prof. E. Węcławowicz – Bilska, PhD. and dr inż. arch. R. Blazy, Hungary is representing by Magyar Urbanisztikai Tudásközpont in Budapest with guarantee R. Ongjerth and Czech Republic is representing by Czech Association for Geoinformation in Prague with guarantee RNDr, J. Hiess and by Faculty of Business nad Economics, Mendel University in Brno with guarantee Mgr. J. Machalová, PhD.
The semi-annual realisation of project MobEx started from 1st March of 2010 with financial support of the International Visegrad Fund. The basic role for each partner was a preparation of 40 posters presenting works and projects related with the above-mentioned issue. The role of each country was a preparing of 10 posters (poster size 70 x 100 cm), whereas the total number of posters was 44. In the process of poster preparing, there was very important the creation of official web site of project MobEx http://a-atc.sk/MobEx, because by this medium, all partners have could to share important data and information.
All posters prepared by Faculty of Architecture have presented the issue of Podhorský pás area in Bratislava – Nové Mesto. The students were solving this area on the field of urbanism, architecture and art in landscape. On the field of urbanism was working a group of students led by Ing. arch. J. Furdík, PhD. and prof. Ing. arch. B. Kováč, PhD., doc. Ing. arch. R. Šutovský, PhD. and Ing. arch. T. Varga led students of Ecological and Experimental Architecture and the guarantee of art in landscape was Ing. arch. J. Šilinger. The long-time interface cooperation with the Institute of Urbanism UPMF in Grenoble provide the possibility for French students participation in the project MobEx. The French students visited the research area of Podhorský pás during the workshop, which took place in Bratislava from 19th April until 24th April of 2010. Herewith two French girl - students Bc. C. Sowa a Bc. A. Voillot came from Grenoble on the internship to Faculty of Architecture in Bratislava and they powerfully were working on this topic from the beginning of March until the end of June led by Ing. arch. J. Furdík, PhD. Their research was completing about anthropological aspect by girl-student D. Swistun, who comes from Argentina.
The interesting issue of Podhorský pás in Bratislava – Nové Mesto was choosen also by students of Faculty of Architecture, University of Technology in Cracow, who resolved this area from the perspective of the urbanism. The group of these polish students was working led by Prof. E. Węcławowicz – Bilska, PhD., dr inż. arch. R. Blazy, dr inż. arch. U. Nowacka – Rejzner, dr inż. arch. M. Marx-Kozakiewicz and dr inż. arch.W. Wójcikowski. The students prepared 12 posters to the common exhibition, so that the area of Podhorský pás in Bratislava – Nové Mesto has been presenting on the 24 posters from total number of 44 exhibited posters of the project MobEx.
The Czech and the Hungarian part of the exhibition present the various palette of the projects with using GIS and CAD technologies. The students and the graduates of Faculty of Business and Economics, Mendel University in Brno led by Mgr. J. Machalová, PhD. created 5 posters, which presents the issue of the urban and the landscape structures in the several localities of South Moravia. Another 5 posters was collected by the public call of Czech Association for Geoinformation (CAGI), so that the international exhibition received next 5 posters presenting the using of GIS and geographical information systems, which were chosen as the best of all posters from all parties of Czech Republic. The authors of these posters are the students and the experts from Jan Evangelista Purkyně University in Ústí nad Labem, from Faculty of Civil Engineering, Technical University of Ostrava, from the City of Prague, from companies GEODIS BRNO and VÚKOZ Průhonice.
The Hungarian part of MobEx exhibition has been composed of posters, created by Hungarian Urban Knowledge Centre Nonprofit Company from Budapest. The Hungarian partner prepared 10 posters, which show the using GIS and CAD technologies for the presentation of the urban and the land-use planning projects from national to zonal level.
From the 3rd of May to 8th of May of 2010 during the opening hours from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. it took place the first of 5 common exhibitions of project MobEx in the representative premises of Primaciálny palác, which was organized by Faculty of Architecture, Slovak University of Technology in Bratislava and by the City of Bratislava, which provided the above-mentioned exhibition premises.

After the official opening of the exhibition, it was a free discussion between visitors, who looked at the pictures with interest.
The last exhibition of project MobEx took place in the exhibition hall in the building “K” of Faculty of Landscape Architecture, Corvinus University in Budapest in the days from the 28th June to 4th July of 2010 from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Before the vernissage of this exhibition, which was scheduled on the 28th June at 5:00 p.m., there took place the common workshop GIS and Spatial Planning in the Visegrad Countries. The preparing of this workshop was agreed by project partners during the internal seminary in the building of Faculty of Architecture, Slovak University of Technology in Bratislava. The workshop was officially opened by Mr. R. Ongjerth (managing director of Hungarian Urban Knowledge Centre) in congress room near the exhibition premises at 2:00 p.m. Ing. arch. J. Furdík, PhD.(coordinator of the project MobEx) and RNDr. J. Hiess (president of CAGI) presented the state of processing and presentation of the land-use planning data and using of GIS technologies in this process in Slovakia and in Czech Republic, afterwards Prof.E. Węcławowicz-Bilska (Faculty of Architecture, Cracow University of Technology) had the speech about the spatial planning system in Poland. After these presentations, it was following the lecture of Dr. G. Remetey (VÁTI Hungarian Public Nonprofit Limited Liability Company for Regional Development and Town Planning) about the national regional development and spatial planning information system (TeIR) in Hungary.
During the concluding discussion, which was coordinated by Mr. R. Ongjerth, all participated partners expressed the enthusiasm for further cooperation, they agreed the continuing of the common exhibitions, because this way (project MobEx) showed it as rights for the convergence of V4 countries in the field of urbanism, landscape design, land-use planning and GIS, which benefit is no only exhibited posters, but project MobEx provided the space for
face to face discussions, helped to approach the new contacts and planned the several projects to the future between the institutions of V4 countries. Other result of this workshop was the common interest of partners to participate on the compilation of multilingual dictionary (ENG, SK, CZ, PL and HU) attending to terminology of urbanism, landscape design, land-use planning and GIS in the future. The partners also expressed interest to intensify the issue of project MobEx in the future about project, which would to analyze the state of land-use planning in the V4 countries and analyzing its plus and minus with the intention to introduce topic to the general public. The results of this project would be surely interest not only for the common border areas of V4 countries.
After the short breakfast, associate prof. L. Kollányi as a deputy of Faculty of Landscape Architecture, Corvinus University in Budapest, officially opened the last exhibition of MobEx exhibitions within the frame of V4 countries. The very next moment Ing. arch. J. Furdík, PhD. as traditionally characterized main intentions of this project and he shortly depicted subject of Slovak posters. RNDr. J. Hiess (president of CAGI) expressed laudatory words to the address of all participate authors of project MobEx, afterwards Prof.E. Węcławowicz-Bilska (Faculty of Architecture, Cracow University of Technology) and Mr. R. Ongjerth (managing director of Hungarian Urban Knowledge Centre) presented Polish and Hungarian exhibited posters. After the official part of this exhibition, the guests present viewed the exhibited posters and held a free discussion about this issue. The vernissage in Budapest was crowned by the dinner for project partners, where it continued free discussion about this issue and where were forming the possibilities for mutual cooperation in the future.
Other activity of project MobEx was presenting the issue of Podhorský pás in Bratislava (the lecture of Ing. arch. D. Filipeková) on the seminary of junior regionalists "The Urban Development and Planning in Western and Central Eastern Europe", which took place in Budapest from 2nd July to 4th July of 2010.
Presently (July and August, 2010) it is in progress a preparation of the digtital catalogue of all project MobEx with ISBN and with the preparation and conclude summarization of all project outputs.
Before the project finalization, we can afford to submit, that the project was successful, it provided the space for the students and the experts to compare the results of their work with the results of their colleagues from other V4 countries and to exchange received pieces of knowledge and experiences in this issue on the exhibitions home and abroad. Herewith the resolvers of the project received the several new contacts and expressed enthusiasm to participate on the common projects within the frame of V4 countries in the future, which would to intensify the idea of project MobEx and would to access the issue of urbanism, landscape design, land-use planning and GIS to the general and the expert public.

The Initiative
The aim of MobEx was the preparation and organisation of an international portable exhibition which was present in all of the countries of the project partners. The Hungarian material represents the works of professional GIS users and students from the fields of urban planning and land use. These works are created to the press, professionals and outsiders too and presents the results very clear. This project gives the opportunity to exchange, share and discuss different points and experiences among the professionals, the press and the inquiring outsiders.
The Hungarian Vernissage was organised to the hall of the University of Budapest 28 June 2010. Before this event the Hungarian Urban Knowledge Centre organised a workshop for all project partners and the members of the Hungarian GIS Association (HUNAGI) also represented their organisation. The goal of this meeting was to share the national experiences and best practices of each partner.
OUR PANELS:
GIS – From the research to the implementation
1. Poster: Introduction – Hungarian Urban Knowledge Centre
Title: State of affairs
Annotation: GIS use started spreading very quickly in Hungary in the ’90. By this time started the preparation of digital maps of the country too but their utilization was very tight, practically the maps were used only by geodesy. The urban planners used GIS softwares mostly for drawing and design.
Usage of the analysing function of GIS softwares started around 2005. Digital satellite images have had the most important role because they can be adopted very easily for several fields like supporting intelligent landscape design or protection of climate in land use planning.
The Hungarian Urban Knowledge Centre collected the content of this mobile exhibition. It displays the intelligent relation between GIS and land or project planning.
2. Poster: Biological Activity and Plans at National level
Title: Macro level contexts
Annotation: The plans are based on the macro level contexts of the analyses in national scale. The National Ecological Network’s plan is a great example because it displays the protected ecological areas and developing them into a network with their elements.
3. Poster: Biological Activity and the outskirt of Budapest
Title: Directed urban expansion
Annotation: The increase of the cities' built-up areas cannot be stopped because the land usage increasing parallel with the living standard. This process can be controlled by planning the metropolitan area's in the view of ecological approach.
4. Poster: Biological Activity and plan Pro Verde
Title: The strategic development of the metropolitan green spaces
Annotation: Balancing the increase of built-up areas it is necessary to get the change processes of the green spaces. Knowing the change of bio-activity planning of green space network can be more effective.
5. Poster: Temperature of surface and Environmental Programme of Budapest
Title: The reduction of the metropolitan heat island
Annotation: The increase of covert surfaces increases the temperature of the urban surface and this spoils the general condition of citizens. The green spaces are effective solutions against the heat island which can be define by the analysis of surface temperature. Already small greeneries – e.g. roof gardens, inner yards - are suitable to reduce the temperature.
6.Poster: The accessibility of the green areas of Budapest
Title: How close is it to you?
Annotation: One of the most important aspect of planning green space system is the location of the parks for daily use. GIS analysis helps the survey by displaying the approaching possibility of public green spaces. The analysis displays the areas without or less approach to public green.
7. Poster: Green surface programme in Budapest 6th district
Title: Small is beautiful!
Annotation: The green space system planners of historical downtown of Budapest, Terézváros based their plan on digital satellite images and GIS analysis. They planned the increase the magnetism of the district by the increase the green surface of inner yards and public spaces. The local government helped this plan with inviting entries for a competition for the local inhabitants.
8. Poster: Angyalzöld and Hollán Ernő street
Title: Green space network in the late labour district
Annotation: Angyalföld is the 13th district of Budapest. Many different type of building and land use can be found here and the planners draw different conclusion from the satellite images than in Terézváros (Panel No 7). Building of new parks, more green space and improving the local climate were the direct aim and that is why Hollán Ernő street could be renewed and greened.
9. Poster: Veresegyház bioactivity and the open space plan of the main square of Veresegyház
Title: Main square renewal for a better climate
Annotation: The process of sub urbanism increases the warming of the covert surfaces and through this it increases the urban heat island too. The main square of Veresegyház close to Budapest with its strongly growing population is a pleasant meeting place and halps to improve the local climate.
10. Poster: Budaörs, Conception of Institution development
Title: For a closer kindergarten
Annotation: Budaörs is a small town in the neighbourhood of Budapest and its local government develops the institutional network dynamically. The development concept was supported by GIS analysis therefore the location of the new and needed institutions were specified according to the results of this assessment. The aim was that these basic institutions like the new kindergarten can be approachable by foot.

The poster exhibition
The Seminar ÚP-GIS in Bítov
1. Organisation
MobEx was hosted by traditional event in Czech Republic – the UP-GIS workshop - Spatial planning and Geographical information Systems, organised by CAGI. The 4x10 collection installed by MobEx team professionally in Bitov hotel amended the traditional competitive poster exhibition. This exhibition held from 90th presents up-to-date projects and solutions, hot discussed topics. Its best pieces are used to be exhibited later in large cities to promote our discipline to wider audience. This way these posters presented the digital urban planning in Prague, Ostrava, after 2003 in Bratislava, Dresden, Wien-Schwechat. MobEx rootes in fact came up from long cooperation between CAGI and FA in Bratislava; MobEx improves the original UP-GIS exhibitional concept. In three days 9. - 10. 6. 2010 the 160 participants of 15th annual specialised UP-GIS workshop used the unique possibility to watch, study, discuss and evaluate not only their own poster production, but also the MobEx collection. Among the UP-GIS audience and guests were mayors, local politicians, officials from building, and spatial planning authorities, from national cadastral and mapping authority, designers, urban architects, geoinformaticians, GIS administrators, graphic designers, environmental, transportation e.a. specialists, analytics, leaders and managers of projects, landscape planners. The June 10th ceremonial evening closed the anonymous voting of UP-GIS participants and the expert jury evaluation. Jury director, ass. prof. Juraj Furdík, the main MobEx coordinator, awarded the best evaulated authors. The winners accepted valuable prizes (superb local wines) from the hands of pretty French ladies from Grenoble University. At the UP-GIS workshop these students as co-authors personally presented the Slovak posters made as a part of their intership. A part of workshop programme was held in English, in addition to Czech the English was factual working language in Bitov, UP-GIS was visited also by Hungarian MobEx partners. Assisted by Rostislav Ondrus, Juraj Furdik introduced the MobEx in general in the main programme streem. All the posters was seen and studied by interested experts from all corners of the Czech Republic, and by some foreign guests too. The MobEx exhibition was excellently appreciated in Bitov as an progressive idea and promissing project activating the academical creative potential, in direct confrontation to hard live practice. The forefront speakers and recognised UP-GIS audience recommend to follow in this type of activity.
2. Worked topics on the posters
The first quintuple of posters coordinated by CAGI was selected from student projects, led and described by Dr. Jitka Machalova from Mendel Univerzity Brno. The next 6th to 10th posters were selected among CAGI professional members: The 6th poster made in City Development Authority (ÚRM Praha) describes the content and methods of sustainable development analyses in the capital city practice. The 7th from LabGIS of Usti nad Labem University (UJEP) introduced its approach to virtual reality and results in landscape planning. The 8th poster from GEODIS Brno Ltd. describes the latest 3D geodata production and visualisation for planning and city development. The 9th produced in research institute VUKOZ Pruhonice presents landscape zoning nearby the fabulous mountain Rip (Říp). The 10th poster from the Civil engineering faculty of TU Ostrava explains on examples how to use GIS for urban planning processes.
