SUMMARY The Institute of Architecture and Urban & Spatial Planning of Serbia (IAUS) was established in 1954 as part of the Faculty of Architecture, University of Belgrade. As a result of the Republics’ Executive Committee declaration no.N/303 of 13.05.1961 it was proclaimed an independent research Institute. The scientific researches and expert work of the Institute is organised within the three centres: 1) Architecture and Dormitory 2) Urban Planning and Regional Development 3) Information, Publication and Consulting The Institute comprises 60 professional employees (40 of whom have outstanding scientific and professional qualifications) and maintains close ties with a large number of consultants - experts in their fields. It covers the following scope of activities: 1) Scientific researches: - spatial and urban planning (theory, methodology and planning techniques, implementation, monitoring, information systems, databases, system of indicators etc.); - urban revitalisation and reconstruction; - development and structure of rural areas; - sustainable development, the use of natural resources, environmental protection and ecological improvement, rational use of energy, architectural and urban heritage etc; - spatial development and settlement of mining, energetic, industrial, agricultural plants and tourist areas, natural resources and cultural heritages etc; - dormitory and public sector activities and infrastructure systems - application of the original "pre-fab" systems in dormitory constructions - protection of natural and created disasters and catastrophes.
2) Design of spatial and urban plans: - National (Republic’s) Spatial Plans - Regional Spatial Plans - Spatial Plans for specific purposes (tourist areas, industrial, mining and agricultural plants, water supply areas, military zones, etc.) - Spatial Plans for infrastructural networks - Urban Master Plans for cities and settlements - Detailed and urban regulatory Plans - Requirements for spatial settlements including Urban and Technical conditions for the accompanying design and construction documentations. - Integral Development Plans, Sustainable development Strategies - Programmes for construction and spatial arrangements - The needs analysis for acceptable Spatial and Urban Plans modified in accordance with defence requirements; protection against war effects and natural disasters. 3) Elaboration of architectural and urban projects for building and spatial areas (Feasibility Studies, projects, Environmental Impact Analysis, expertise on supervision and stakeholders investments) - Dormitories and residential areas - Public buildings and business areas (administrative, cultural, educational, medical, commercial, sports, traffic etc.) - Industrial zones and agricultural plants - Networks and objects of public infrastructure (ground floor structure) - Landscape Planning of the open areas and other
4) Consultancy, engineering, export of intellectual services, publishing and information technology support.
The recent period of political, economic and social instability in the country and the region had negative impacts on the Institute’s working conditions and business relations. However, its ambitious plans including the management of human resources and the focus on scientific researches helped the Institute to overcome this turbulent period. Further more, the Institute initiated several long term projects, the most important among them being The Spatial Plan of Republic of Serbia.
