Abstract: Conglomerations of modern cities are becoming increasingly fractional/disintegrated. An urban person turns into a special type of a person called “homo urbis”, capable of living in a "stone jungle" of performance, in a dense concentration of urban culture objects and amongst the most heterogeneous human mass. The modern civilizational paradigm predetermines the dynamics of the processes of socio-cultural personal identity formation performance in urban culture environment, as well as its globalization and glocalization. The very phenomenon of personal identity in modern urban culture falls into the spectrum of multiple "identities", its evolutionary and critical performance processes. All socio-cultural and civilizational interactions of urban cultural environment are mixed up in existential contradictions. Clear and distinct bases of the traditional world are giving way to civilizationally complex chaos, diverse cultural multilayer and their intricate interlacement. The coexistence of numerous axiological patterns, stereotypes, narratives and metanarratives of the city result in colossal ideological and spiritual tension, where a person has been considered the core of the concentration of the crisis problems since the Socratic anthropological turn. In this connection, the problem of determination and creation of an urban personality, by all means, should be supplemented with the most important heuristic and ontological component – the search for personal identity, as the correlation of the ever-forming civilizational mass of existence with the process of self-reflection of an individual.

Abstract: This work contributes to the melioration of the modeling and simulation of laboratory cultured fractals using poly (vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene)/poly (ethyl methacrylate)-ammonium trifluorome-thanesulfonate nanocomposite polymer electrolyte films as the media of growth. Main focus is given to fractals and fractal growth models particularly DLA (Diffusion Limited Aggregation). The DLA cluster formed through DLA is formed by particles moving in Brownian motion (diffusion) which meet and stick together randomly (aggregation) to form the cluster. The simulation of multiple cluster fractals is done using DLA methods incorporating different parameters such as its sticking coefficient, lattice geometry and number of particles. To compare the simulation with the real patterns obtained, one vital aspect would be the calculation of their fractal dimension values. The computer program developed is able to calculate the fractal dimension value of each of the simulated fractal patterns. Suitable fractal dimension calculation method is employed according to its usefulness and efficiency. Fractal growth modeling and simulation such as done here can contribute to the understanding of other related studies concerning fractal growth found in areas including medical (nervous systems, cancer growth and more).

Abstract: Low cost housing in Jakarta – Indonesia is provided by the government for low-income people in urban areas, in line with the program to redevelop or renew slum areas or densely populated neighborhoods for supporting sustainable living environment in urban area. Sustainable living environment will be achived if people who live in low cost housing have the culture which support and apply green principles. The purpose of research is to give knowledge about the change of life-cycle and life stage of low-income people as the first residents as long as they stay in vertical housing, and their culture to green principles. The research objectives are to determine the characteristics of residents as urban people and the factors which influenced, to know how their culture to apply green principles. The research was conducted at four low cost housing in Jakarta. The results showed that currently the families still have characters as informal-traditional, nuclear family and extended family. The residents generally are as employee or entrepreneur in informal sector, and still as low income family. Demographic, socio-culture, and economic are the factors which influenced life-cycle and life stage of low-income people as urban society. People who live in low cost housing still have traditional culture which support to green principles.

Abstract: The sparrow brace has experienced various of changes in shape, crafts, decoration, color during hundreds of years, which changed from a pure mechanical component into a unity of mechanics and aesthetics. The sparrow brace has brought traditional wooden architecture strength and beauty collision, dynamic and static combination and soothing and boosting coordination. The sparrow brace has become a bright pearl in traditional architectural decoration elements when its decorative significance surpassed structural significance in ancient architechture.

Abstract: In the article the sustainable development is considered in the context of synergetic effect of energy saving and from the standpoint of low-carbon (green) economy. The authors make accent to the human capital in relation of creativity and culture for transfer to green economy and sustainable development that is well related to the ideology of Russian scientists-cosmists.

Abstract: With the high-speed economic and social wheels rolling, the modern people are facing increasingly heavy workload and big work pressure, tourism increasingly becomes a way to relieve stress and enjoy life. Technological advances pushed the development of high-speed transport, provide a time and space possibility for people to travel freely. In recent years, with the development of virtual reality technology and popularity of a variety of smart mobile terminal tools, virtual scenic and online travel creative platform gradually enter into the lives of ordinary people, making the traditional tourism model change fundamentally. This article will be based on the theoretical basis of augmented reality technology, analyze its application value in the build of virtual scenic and tourist cultural and creative platform, in order to help the fundamental change of tourism model in a new era.

Abstract: As an important part of the environment layout, campus sign system design plays an increasingly important role in today's college campuses. In this paper, taking campus sign system of Xuzhou Institute of Technology as an example, through field research, school staff visits, relevant design information of campus sign system for reference etc., combined with campus culture and service characteristics of the sign system, based on original campus sign system, I make qualitative analysis on service standards and cultural positioning of campus sign system in colleges and universities and explain some of the views and suggestions on the campus sign system redesign, in order to provide reference for the continuous development and improvement of campus sign system.

Abstract: College archives record the real process of higher education along the way,including progress in all aspects, such as classroom teaching, management planning, scientific research and innovation. For universities, it is not only the witness of hard sweat of countless staff in school history, but also the precious wealth. With the development of higher education, college archives cultural functions also gradually reveal except the function of historical record. The paper discusses how to play the function of archives culture to speed up the construction of colleges and promote the culture of college.
