Abstract:

Universities are urban component and they should never be separated from cities. An open and interactive relationship is needed in modern times between universities and cities. To improve such relationship and provide some experience for similar cases later, this thesis takes the project of campus planning for Changchun Automobile Industry Institute, China for further research. Established in a step-by-step way, first the introductive part gives detailed information about the origin, evelopment, organization and classification of university and its campus. Then the research problem is put forward and theoretical framework is built up based on three background theories and methodologies: Town and Gown – relationship between universities and surroundings; The Oregon Model – an attempt to apply architectural pattern language and social power to the plan for The University of Oregon; Transit-Oriented Development – efficient way to connect traffic node with city center for ustainability. After that comes the case study of campus planning for Changchun Automobile Industry Institute, with a thorough introduction and a detailed analysis of the project. Six planning strategies about the concept of “Community Campus” are concluded in the end covering three parts – main architectures, road system and landscape, they are: Community fabric; TOD node; Organic order; Nature reserve; Step-by-step development; Public involvement. Finally, this thesis summarizes and evaluates the outcome and its significance, followed by possible recommendations for future research on this topic.

Key words : Campus planning; Strategic planning; Community Campus; Changchun Automobile Industry Institute, China.

Abstract:

Millions of people live and work on college campuses everyday. The environment they dwell and interact with is essential to their quality of life and health. There is no doubt that the campus landscape is of great importance to millions of students, faculty, and staff on campus. Surrounding communities are also significantly affected by college campuses as colleges often provide education and social events, as well as economic activities. However, in the past, the design of campus landscape spaces have been overlooked or treated as a leftover of buildings, even though campus landscape spaces are more than the â facesâ of colleges.

With more and more colleges and universities expanding and redesigning their landscape spaces, the design of campus landscape space has gained more recognition in the recent twenty years. One of the significant changes in the design process is the taking of usersâ needs/concerns into account. This change is influenced by a community-based design concept found in Active Living and Public Spaces design. While Active Living and Public Spaces design emphasizes the importance of user involvement and different techniques in soliciting user input, there is a missing link between user input and the design program elements.

In this thesis, I examine the past practice of campus landscape space design and propose using Quality Function Deployment (QFD) to fill in this missing link. QFD has been used in various industries, including service and manufacturing, for years. It emphasizes the importance of taking usersâ needs, called Voice of Customers (VOC), into the design process. The employment of different matrices to capture the relationship between VOC and subsequent design and quality characteristics makes QFD a unique framework suitable to fill the gap in the current design process.

A case study of campus landscape space design is conducted to examine the applicability of QFD in campus landscape space design, including the advantages, the obstacles, and the unique condition of using QFD in landscape design. The study yields several insights on the application of QFD in campus landscape space design, which are applicable in other landscape design projects.

Abstract:

This thesis is about the concept of Sustainable Development and its application in Thailand. Whilst many people and Thai Government itself accept the need for sustainable development as an integral part of the country's future, there is no clear consensus on what the application of sustainable development will actually mean for Thailand. Up until this point in time the most common referent for sustainable development in Thailand has been the United Nations´ "Our Common Future" and "Agenda 21". Even though this document contains many broad principles that are applicable, there are significant differences in Thai context, which require alternatives to be proposed. Buddhism supplies a Thai point of departure for such an alternative. This thesis purposes that the principle of Buddhism such as Arriyacca, Patticca-Samuppada, Tri- Lakkha and etc. are entirely appropriate for application on the Thai socio-environment development. This discussion is a key part of this thesis. As a mean of verification and of applied example, the last section of the thesis looks specifically at growth patterns of areas and spaces in "Central Academic Area" (CAD) in the main campuses of regional public-universities of Thailand.

Abstract:

The University has some features which make it amenable to systematic study by comparison with the city, quite apart from simple difference in size. The University presents in some senses a microcosm of the city, but more orderly and regulated, and rather less heterogeneous. The high degree of centralised administrative control in Universities means that characteristics of their population are known and recorded in some detail. This study has developed through a close association with the development of one University and a desire to understand the patterns of growth and provide guidance in the physical development of a University, in particular the study is concerned with shaping the imperatives operating to produce a measure of place, legibility, identity, flexibility, resilience and vitality. The physical form and the methods of controlling that form and the forces which influence the form are analysed. Urban design issues are amongst the many forces that act upon a University and play an important role in modelling the University's character. A University is perceived by its physical appearance as well as its academic merit The shape and form of a University will have an important role in the image portrayed. The University population live and work as a community and many of the characteristics common to urban environments can be found within the University campus. To apply the theories researched in this study a case study has been made of the Queensland University of Technology Gardens Point Campus. This University presents many issues which are relevant to the study of Urban Design in particular the study is focused on the form of the Campus, and meaning of the form, produced by a group of related buildings and the spaces between them. The continued development of the University raises many similarities to the continued development of the city. Proposed future form and guidelines for control of future development are developed and proposed. Key matters are dealt with in detail which will influence the overall appearance of the University. The issues which will determine the liveability of the Campus are also analysed with the purpose of generating design guidelines. The QUT campus provides an interesting case study in terms of urban design, particularly because, like the city it has undergone adhoc change and expansion over a long time. The built form of QUT has received much ctiricism over the years for the lack of visual appeal and apparent lack of space. QUT suffers a similar lack of vision due to the acceptance of urban structure in a static form rather than the potential form which can evolve given certain circumstances. A University campus is not a static thing which can be planned once and for all. It is a growing organism which is always moving, always changing. Amongst the special characteristics which make urban design unique is the building of the urban environment over a long period of time and the need to retain an overall uniformity without imposing rigidity on the individual building designers. The building of Universities over a long period is a good reason for employing urban design principles in the planning and development control of the overall form. The issues of place, legibility, identity, and so on are as important to the well being of a campus as providing good access roads or looking after the under-privileged. By careful analysis an understanding of place or sense of place can be defined. This understanding of place enables the bridging between the people and the physical environment A University, like a town or any other place, has characteristics unique to itself and the people who inhabit it The positive qualities which are created by unevenness in the urban matrix are found in the vitality and visual variety which might already exist or which can be created on a University campus. An understanding of the many and varied behaviour patterns which help define the special sense of place for users and visitors is an important aspect of this study.

Full text

Abstract:

Recent researches on campus learning environments present that there is a seeking for alternative learning spaces among students. Researches argue that more learning is taking place outside of class time than ever before. With an increased emphasis on collaboration and group projects, students are learning in small groups outside of the classrooms as they accomplish work related to their courses. Literature defines these experiences as &lsquo
informal learning&rsquo
. Therewithal, campus open spaces are one of the major areas where students prefer for their informal learning experiences. This thesis aims to search the influence of campus open space design on students&rsquo
learning experiences. Additionally, it argues that there is a strong relation between the learning and the space where learning action occurs. In doing this, it both covers a theoretical framework and a case study. Within the theoretical part, it discusses various learning theories with respect to the prominent principles for each theory. It reveals learning space design indicators which affects learning both in indoor and outdoor learning environments. In the case study, with the analysis of different sample areas from METU campus, the study both investigates the learning experiences actualized on campus open spaces and the triggering design indicators which enhance these experiences.

Full text

Abstract:

The goal of this study was to explore the beginnings of higher education for freed slaves after the Civil War as reflected in the development of the built environment of one of the earliest and most prominent of the historically Black colleges, Hampton Institute. The main purpose was to study the way in which campus planning was implemented at Hampton, its intentions and effects. The study had three hypotheses: (1) a master plan for the development of the campus of Hampton Institute was created by its founder, (2) this master plan was followed by the administration and builders during the early stages of the school's development and (3) the founder of Hampton Institute was aware of the symbolism of the architecture and used it intentionally to create a sense of specialness and to inspire strong attachment among the students of the school.;The study of numerous original documents available in the Hampton University Archives revealed answers to these questions. First, there is ample evidence that a master plan did exist for the development of Hampton's campus and that it was, to a large degree followed. The architectural intentions of Hampton's principal revealed a great deal about the beginnings of Negro education and the controversy which existed concerning the type of education which was best suited to the needs of Blacks. They also reflect the unique mission of the early Black schools. Hampton was the model for many schools which espoused one view of the type of education which would best prepare Blacks to take their place in post war society and, therefore, was an appropriate subject for this study.;The study also revealed certain common characteristics which, when present, produce coherent, consistent campus planning. This information is important for present day administrators trying to promote effective decision making regarding campus growth.;The extension of this study to include other prominent Black schools would provide valuable insights into the evolution of higher education for Blacks. These schools were shaped by their unique mission which was in turn shaped by the unique educational needs of the group they were founded to serve.

Abstract:

Cities form from layers of different elements and uses to create an urban fabric. These elements include the location, geography, demography, culture, transportation, and building type. Buildings can be thought of in a similar way. Today, successful urban and building design engages in the idea of mixed-use, not only in the program, but in the diversity of spaces created and users of the space. One lost layer to Alexandria is at the northern edge of Old Town. This area is bookended by the Potomac Electric Power Company's abandoned power plant. The site sits along the Alexandria waterfront and Mount Vernon Trail with views looking toward Washington, DC. The power plant closed its doors in 2012 and there are no plans yet to redevelop the site. To regenerate new life to this neighborhood, a new satellite campus for Virginia Tech']s Schools of Visual and Performing Arts will replace the abandoned plant. This campus aims to integrate a long lost piece of Alexandria's waterfront to the city and community. The signature building of this campus is a two-stage theatre that weaves together the new student body with the existing Alexandrian community.

Full text

Abstract:

The present dissertation deals with the establishment of Campus Sundsvall, MidSweden University, and discusses how the architecture visualizes visions and ideas of the participants involved, the city of Sundsvall, the university and the proprietor, Akademiska Hus. The purpose is to investigate the process where the symbolic values are formulated and materialized – the interaction between architecture, language and visual material. The first chapter discusses the American tradition of campus planning and how the idea has been transformed in Sweden to represent an area, often located in the city, gathering one or more buildings used by a university. The second chapter deals with the architectural competition of Campus Sundsvall and analyzes the program, the solutions presented by the participants and eventually how Campus Sundsvall turned out in the late 1990s. The third chapter investigates the sources of the concepts of the architecture and the planning model and discusses why the city of Sundsvall was attracted by these ideas. The planning history of Sundsvall and especially Stenstaden, the city centre of Sundsvall, are central in interpreting the question of identity as a symbolic value. In the last chapter, discussing the campus as a creative space, the present increase of IT supported distance courses questions the importance of the university campus.

Abstract:

This research examined how two decidedly different groups of community college presidents from across the United States viewed the competencies, characteristics, and professional skills identified by the American Association of Community Colleges (AACC) (2005) as important for effective community college leadership. The two groups participating in the research were from small, single-campus colleges serving rural populations and from large, multiple-campus colleges serving urban populations. The participants were asked to identify those activities and experiences that they found helpful in developing the AACC leadership competencies. The results from this research suggest that community college presidents from both sizes of college campuses widely regarded the AACC competencies as important to effective leadership. The respondents also provided insight into the experiences that helped form the characteristics related to the development of the competencies. Practical implications for the development and hiring of leaders to perform senior leadership roles within the community college system are offered.

What makes a city a place people love and want to live is the essence of livability. Livable cities are places where people can delight in a high quality of life. College towns are great places to live because their universities function as a cultural wealth and an economic anchor for the city. Using Manhattan, KS and Kansas State University (KSU) as a case study, this study utilizes a survey as an instrument to investigate the possible correlations and patterns between the perceived quality of life of permanent residents of college towns and their degree of interaction with their university’s campus. Using statistical analyses of this data, this study explores the relationships between a higher quality of life in Manhattan and a higher interaction with KSU. As well, it seeks to find what aspects of university interaction have the most impact on quality of life, if there are any shortfalls in quality of life in Manhattan, and if the university can play a role in the strategy to mitigate for these shortfalls. In this, town-gown relationships give insight to creating more livable cities as a whole.

Abstract:

This dissertation is inspired by the age of digital media as a mode of cultural production. This project aims to uncover how social interaction is shaped by digital space and its effects on physical space. This is an exploration of an architecture which mediates between the tensions and contradictions that exist between a digital and physical dimension. I believe today's culture is largely driven by the use of digital and social media, be it Facebook, Twitter, Whatsapp, Instagram, etc. Through the use of digital media, people are able to consume and produce material (online) simultaneously and collaboratively. I believe this has transformed the manner in which people communicate and establish their sense of identity. Digital media has also made way for the concept of globalisation, where people are brought closer through instant and rapid forms of network communication, thus contesting and collapsing the reality of distance and physical boundaries. According to Virilio (2012:73), “...we must at least resolve ourselves to losing the sense of our senses, common sense and certainties, in the material of representation. We must be ready to lose our morphological illusions about physical dimensions...". This indicates that there is a tension between the formal environment and digital space. In this age of digitalisation, the human artefact and its mode of communication is changing: with it, so will our physical environments. This dissertation seeks to negotiate between these two dimensions, through the architecture and its programmatic response in relation to the urban context of Cape Town city centre.

Master of Regional and Community Planning

In the past 20 years, the promotion of bicycle-friendly environments in the United States has become a major topic for city planners, engineers, landscape architects, and concerned citizens. The City of Manhattan, Kansas, and Kansas State University (KSU) are following the trend by creating more bicycle infrastructure. As an example, the Campus Planning and Facilities Management Department at KSU recently installed new signs on the pavement that support existing bicycle rules around campus. The rules require cyclists to dismount and walk their bicycles on the main campus sidewalk and yield to pedestrians when crossing Bosco Plaza. While signs are important, these markers should be part of a bigger plan that includes infrastructure, education and enforcement working together to create a safe, active transportation system. This project explores bicycling culture at KSU campus and uses three key concepts of infrastructure, education, and enforcement to discover what improvements are needed and what improvements can be made. The video-based observation method consists of recording the activity of cyclists entering the campus core and analyzing the behavior of cyclists and pedestrians. The survey was conducted via social media in order to understand safety perceptions and behaviors of bicyclists and pedestrian as daily commuters to campus. The results from both methods show a lack of involvement with infrastructure, education, and enforcement for cycling at Kansas State which creates areas that are not safe for pedestrians. Bicycling (15.4%) and walking (46.7%) represent 62.1% of commuters to campus; therefore, a safer approach to campus infrastructure needs to be addressed for these users. Results indicate that the dismount signs are ignored 82.9% of the time, and collisions between cyclists and pedestrians do happen on campus. An absence of enforcement is shown in the data, which is compounded by a non-existing bicycling education program, making for a less than optimal active transportation system on campus.

Abstract:

CIVINS
Sao Tome and Principe has recently reached the completion point for the United Nation's Highly Indebted and Poor Countries (HIPC) program and is now looking to develop a sustainable and prosperous economy (International Monetary Fund 2007). However, the existing international airport is failing to meet the safety, security and capacity requirements to further the country's economic development. Construction of an airport security fence is underway that will cutoff several thousand residents from the water sources and will redirect routes to the markets of Sao Tome. This Master's project utilizes scenario planning to explore possible futures for the expansion of Sao Tome and Principe's international airport. The scenario development process is intended to facilitate dialogue within the country about the future by which policy and development decisions can be made. A wide range of topics such as environment, history, culture, economy, social structure, land use, domestic policy and infrastructure were studied in order to make educated projections. potential benefits, dangers, and conflicts between the issues were considered in order to design planning scenarios that present both positive and negative futures. The result was four primary scenarios for the international airport and surrounding campus that explore opportunities and externalities inherent in such a project with broad and drastic impacts. The representative scenarios included in this final report demonstrate a broad range of alternative futures such as: dramatic expansion, no expansion, or conservative expansion of the airport. Each of the scenarios is presented through various means to describe the possible future including: written analysis, story telling (narratives), sketches, mapping, and photo vignettes. This report is intended to stimulate discussion regarding the future Sao Tome and Principe.

In this study, I approach the campus of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology from the perspective of campus residents. Considering the campus as a neighborhood, I analyze and evaluate the effects of the physical campus on its residents' quality of life. After presenting a historical overview of the MIT residential campus and the ideas that have influenced it, as well as a synopsis of background information on the MIT residential experience, I present the results of a series of discussions held at residences around the MIT campus on the topic of how the campus performs as a residential environment. To conclude, I first define a set of criteria, based on the results of the discussions, by which the MIT campus might be analyzed and evaluated from a residential point of view. I then find that the MIT campus has many features that are not supportive of its residential function, and suggest some strategies for the future development that might improve the campus as a residential environment.

The terms "ivory tower" and "town-gown" have long been used to characterize the relationship between institutions of higher education and the communities in which they reside. While these adversarial phrases reflect the social and physical tension that has historically existed between the two groups, the terms are no longer appropriate as colleges and universities of today are more enlightened, realizing that as fixed and vested institutions, much of their success, and in some cases survival, is dependent on the health of the community in which they reside. The American college campus, where design decisions have come about as a means to engender community and promote learning, is a physical manifestation of the institutional mission and purpose. Therefore, as institutions look beyond their campus edges to consciously engage with their larger community, a shift in the physical representation should follow. In this thesis, I examine the evolution of a new physical form that reflects this changing dynamic by exploring the alignment of the institution's mission to the design and development of the campus edge, where this relationship is most evident. Based on a review of current campus conditions, I develop a sequence of edge conditions based on permeability and relationship between campus and community. I then focus on urban institutions in marginalized neighborhoods that have expanded their mission by embracing their urban setting and engaging with their communities in comprehensive revitalization initiatives. Using two case studies, Clark University and Trinity College, and drawing briefly on several other examples, I consider the relationship between the current and historical mission of the institution and the impact their recent neighborhood revitalization efforts have had on the physical transformation of the campus edges. Applying lessons learned from these efforts, I encourage colleges and universities to reconsider the value of their edges and promote them as an integral part of the overall campus. Finally, I make recommendations to help institutions rethink their campus edges in a way that embraces the evolving community-university dynamic and contributes to the well-being of both their students and surrounding neighborhood.

Restorative landscapes are a growing trend within health care environments and can have a lasting impact on people if applied within other settings, particularly higher education campuses. Their design captures the many healing qualities of nature that humans are instinctively attracted to (Heerwagen, 2011). Within restorative landscapes, people have been historically found to experience relief of stress, improved morale, and improved overall well-being (Barnes et al., 1999). While campus planning standards do consider the outdoor environment as an extension of the classroom, higher education campuses can do more to utilize the cognitive benefits of nature for students, faculty and staff. This project explores principles and theories of restorative landscape design, empirical psychological research, and campus design to develop a framework that facilitates the creation of restorative campus spaces on higher education campuses. In partnership with the Office of Design and Construction Management at the University of Kansas, the framework was subsequently applied through the design of the landscape for the Center for Design Research on the KU campus. In the context of current campus planning challenges, restorative landscape design is a potentially valuable strategy in strengthening the beneficial roles and efficacy of the campus landscape. This design project explores its application to envision places within a higher education campus that, along with other benefits, relieve stress for students, faculty and staff.

Abstract:

The creation of an optimum environment to support educational goals is important to the success of a university. North Sumatera University (NSU) was born and grew for three decades without having been designed and controlled by a planning process. As a result it became a state university that: does not have a strong sense of identity; does not have a well-planned circulation system for pedestrian and vehicular traffic; does not have a coherent orderly, relaxing environment for those who work and study within it.In 1984 The minister of Education chose the university to become a pilot project for the development of universities in the west part of Indonesia. The university hired an architectural consultant (for whom the researcher worked as junior architect) to develop a master plan. The master plan was completed and approved in 1986. However, it is the opinion of the researcher that the proposed master plan is weak in addressing critical issue relating to landscaping, public areas, circulation system, organization of the campus facilities, and social relevance to the local communities.The North Sumatera University is located on the second biggest island in the country. NSU represents the National government's attempt to decentralize the education system from only the central province to the western and eastern areas. Most of the senior high school students from both provinces seeking college education are choosing prestigiousuniversities, currently in the central provinces. The goal of this creative project project was to illustrate opportunities for NSU to develop into a prestigious institution. Through creative and approriate re-design of the campus NSU can develop an attractive character and support strong ties with the community of Medan. This creative project redeveloped a comprehensive master plan for North Sumatera University, illustrated potential site design development and as well addressed possible concepts of campus management.

The North End neighborhood of Springfield, MA is one of the poorest areas in the entire Commonwealth. For many years, agencies in the community have worked to provide basic services to the residents, who are primarily Puerto Rican. For the past twelve years, the major service organizations in the North End have tried to collaborate in an effort to better serve residents. Out of this collaboration came an idea to create a campus for lifelong learning. Since 2006, these service organizations and many other neighborhood institutions have been a part of what they refer to as the "Campus Committee." The purpose of the Campus Committee is to create and implement the "Campus Concept", which will provide lifelong learning opportunities to community members. Members of the Campus Committee continue to struggle with how to find resident leaders to participate in the process of creating and implementing the Campus Concept. This thesis is an attempt to provide an organizing strategy to find this leadership. This document provides evidence that the Campus Committee must actively search for leadership. Leadership will not simply emerge largely due to of historical trends, disproportionate power relationships, and a mistrust of the service organizations. Thus, the Campus Committee must use relationships that the North End Outreach Network has, and continues to make, as a vehicle for finding leadership. Once that leadership is found, the Campus Committee must have space within its own organization that will allow residents the opportunity to take responsibility for planning and implementing the Campus Concept. The Campus Committee must realize that its most valuable resource is the residents of the North End. .
(cont.) Resident involvement with this process will build skills, give residents a sense of ownership over the Campus Concept, and will ultimately ensure longevity of the project

In 2012, the City of Richmond submitted a proposal and was selected to be home of the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) Second Campus. The elimination of more than $1.5 billion in federal funding halted the project, after which the Berkeley Global Campus concept was developed and introduced by the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley) chancellor. The proposed Berkeley Global Campus is an international research and education hub that Richmond anticipates will anchor a revitalized waterfront district. The campus is an opportunity to build from the ground up a university campus that will also generate wealth for the local community. Richmond is grappling with challenges that are familiar to many cities: 1) how to enable redevelopment of a vacant, previously industrial site, and 2) how to shape a university-community partnership that facilitates deep economic impact in communities in areas including employment, local procurement, and housing. As UC Berkeley and the City of Richmond remain committed to realizing the vision for the university campus, this period can be utilized to articulate a deliberative and inclusive planning process building on the planning and collaborative infrastructure already in place. This thesis explores how the City of Richmond can help facilitate the university campus development and achieve social goals based on wealth creation.

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Public institutions require financial resources in order to deliver quality services to the community. The survival of each and every organisation primarily relies on the availability and proper management of financial resources in order to provide effective and efficient service to its clients. Section 195 (1) (b) of the Republic of South Africa Constitution Act, 1996 , Act 108 of 1996 compels public institutions to promote and implement mechanisms that will promote efficient , economic and effective use of resources. South African Public Universities derives larger part of their revenue from the government. The South African government finances South African Universities on the basis of student enrolments. Funding for South African universities and technikons has increased from 10% in the 1996/1997 financialyear to 14% in the 2000/2001 budget. Despite the increase in the financing of the education sector, there were also significant changes in student enrolments at South African universities (Kulati, 2000: 27). Students are leaving from historically black universities for historically white ones and many more are enrolling at technikons than at universities. There are a number of reasons attributed to the decrease in student enrolment in former black universities. Black universities are perceived to be of inferior status as compared to former white universities in terms of their quality and resources. It is expected that government subsidies to historically black universities might fall by 26% over the next three years because of the projected decline in student enrolments. Taking into consideration the enrolment linked subsidy, changed enrolment patterns have drastically affected subsidy allocations by the government to most historically black universities such as Vista University. According to Caruna et al.,(1998: 55), tertiary educational institutions are required, like business firms, to monitor and adapt to the continuous changed taking place in the political, economic, social and the technological environment. The affected institutions are compelled to adapt their service delivery mechanisms if they are to remain financially viable in the near future. It is for this reason that the researcher will explore the use of privatisation as an alternative strategy to service delivery. This study investigate the manner in which activities of the technical services department within Vista University Welkom Campus can be contracted out with an aim of improving cost efficiency within the University. The study developed a normative model which can be used as a guideline in the process of contracting out services and also explain how such model can applied in the process of contracting out activities of the technical services department. The study further identified the responsibilities of different role players who will in one way or another be affected by the contracting process within the University. The study concluded that for the contracting out process to be cost effective, the University have to adopt a seasonally priced contract which reduces activities of the service producer in winter and concentrate activities of the service producer in summer.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Openbare instellings benodig finasiele hulpbronne om 'n gehalte diens aan die gemeenskap te lewer. Die voortbestaan van elke organisasie berus primer op die beskikbaarheid en behoorlike bestuur van finansiele hulpbronne om 'n effektiewe en doeltreffende diens aan kliente te lewer. Afdeling 195 (1) (b) van die Grondwet van die Republiek van Suid Afrika, 1996, Wet 108 van 1996, verplig publieke instellings om meganismes te implimenteer en bevorder wat doeltreffende, ekonomiese en effektiewe gebruik van hulpbronne verseker. Suid Afrikaanse openbare universiteite verkry die grootste gedeelte van hulle inkomste vanaf die regering. Hierdie finansiering geskied volgens die aantal geregistreerde studente by die onderskeie universiteite. Bevondsing vir Suid Afrikaanse universiteite en technikons het gestyg van 10% in die 1996/1997 finansiele jaar tot 14% in die 2000/2001 begroting. Ten spyte van die finansiering van die opvoedkundige sektor, was daar beduidende veranderinge in die studente getalle by Suid Afrikaanse universiteite (Financial Mail, 3l.03.2000). Studente verlaat historiese swart universiteite om by histories blanke universiteite in te skryf en meer studente skryf by technikons in as by universiteite. Daar is 'n aantal redes waaraan die afname van registrasies by histories swart universiteite toegeskryf kan word. Voormalige swart universiteite word as minderwaardig betreffende gehalte en hulpbronne beskou, in vergelyking met voormalige blanke universiteite. Die verwagting is dat staat subsidies aan historiese swart universiteite met so veel as 26% oor die volgende drie jaar kan daal, as gevolg van die geprojekteerde daling in studente getalle. Gegewe die feit dat subsidie gekoppel is aan studente registrasies, het die verandering in studente registrasie patrone 'n drastiese invloed op die subsidie toewysing op meeste historiese swart universiteite, waaronder Vista Universiteit resorteer. Volgens Caruna et al.,(1998:55), word daar van tersiere instellings (net soos van besigheidsfirmas), verwag om by die veranderende politieke, eknomiese, sosiale en tegnologiese omgewings aan te pas. Die instellings wat geraak word, gedwing om hul diensleweringsmeganisme aan te pas om finansieel lewensvatbaar te bly. Om hierdie rede gaan die navorser privatisering as alternatiewe strategie tot dienslewering ondersoek. Hierdie studie ondersoek maniere om aktiwiteite van die Tegniese Dienste Departement uit te kontrakteur met die uitsluitlike doel om koste effektiwiteit binne die Vista Universiteit te bewerkstelling. Die studie poog ook om 'n normatiewe model te formuleer en te implementeer om bogenoemde aktiwiteite te rugsteun. Die studie verduidelik ook hoe so 'n model die uitkontrakteur van Tegniese Dienste lewering kan assisteer en komplimenteer. Die studie identifiseer ook verskeie rolspelers wat deel sal vorm van die voorgestelde proses en wat ook direk en indirek deur die proses geraak en geaffekteer sal word. Die studie kom tot die slotsom dat die proses van uitkontraktering van Tegniese Dienste, kostebesparings binne die universiteit sal bewerkstellig. Die universiteit moet 'n stelsel implementeer wat seisoensgebonde is asook prysgebonde strukture daar stel wat die aspek van koste effektiwiteit sal aanspreek.

This report examines how 17th Street on the Kansas State University campus, initially a service road on the west edge of the campus, has become a major point of public campus access while retaining its function as a service road. In addition, this report conducts interviews with 10 persons with various backgrounds and experiences involving 17th Street to understand public impressions and interests regarding 17th Street. Finally, this report reviews future development scenarios of 17th Street that allow 17th Street to be a contributor with a distinctive character to the university. When Kansas State University was transferred from old Bluemont Central College to its current location in 1875, 17th Street, which now crosses the middle of the campus on a North-South axis, was outside of the campus’ core facility areas. As various university programs have grown throughout the late 20th Century, the campus of Kansas State University has expanded toward the west. As a result, the relative proximity of 17th Street to the center of campus has changed. Now, 17th Street is recognized as one of the major entrances to campus from the south; yet because of the street’s initial and ongoing service function and its service-related facilities, there are parts of the corridor that are not attractive. It is desired for 17th Street to become a more appealing and functional part of the university experience for guiding and welcoming visitors to the campus.

Abstract:

Thesis (MPhil (School of Public Management and Planning))--University of Stellenbosch, 2007.
Some aspects of South African higher education transformation have been bleak, indicating that the trajectory of innovative teaching and affordability requires attention for the foreseeable future. At CIDA we have seen a different picture of this, in other institutions there may be other milestones yet to reveal other gains of transformation. Briefly, this paper tells the CIDA transformation story; other institutions of higher learning in South Africa can learn from its approach and share in the remarkable sense of determination and commitment demonstrated by CIDA. The purpose of this work is to reflect on CIDA’s pattern breaking that can aid better student equity transformation in the South African higher education system. A limitation of the study is that we examine only one factor at a time and it may not adequately account for what happens when all the factors interact at the same time. It emerged from the discussion that CIDA innovative teaching involves awareness of students’ educational needs, views and emphasis on the physical experience of emotions and reasoning. Students are encouraged to be self-confident and feel good about themselves and others through participation and opportunities for spirituality and diversity.
