This thesis examines two approaches to housing the urban poor in the city of Ahmedabad in the Indian state of Gujarat - the Slum Networking Project, an attempt to institutionalize slum upgrading at the city-level and the Development Plan-Town Planning Scheme mechanism, an enabling approach similar to land readjustment that seeks to deliver serviced land to the urban land market and contains a provision to reserve some of this land for housing for economically weaker sections of society. Given the shifts in thinking in the past three decades around housing policies in developing countries, and particularly in India, from project-level approaches to enabling approaches that attempt to tackle housing shortages and substandard quality at a broader scale, this thesis asks the question: What is the appropriate role of cities in adequately housing their poor populations? In conjunction with this, additional questions explored include: What has been the history of housing strategies in India? What are some relatively successful efforts that are not national-level policies or small community-level projects, but instead use the scale of the city to address this pressing issue? What are the barriers to bringing these methods to scale?This thesis finds that while upgrading approaches may provide basic services to slum dwellers at the project level, attempts to take upgrading to scale must carefully consider the prevalence and implementation capacity of NGO or other intermediaries, the demand of residents for the services offered, the incentives for participation by private sector entities and the pace of urbanization in the city in question.With respect to the Town Planning Scheme mechanism, there has been considerable success in converting agricultural land to serviced urban land and in appropriated land for housing for the urban poor, but concerns remain about the overly centralized nature of the process, its openness to corruption, and its neglect to consider informal or tenants claims on the land to be developed. Finally, it is found that the mere designation and availability of urban land for housing for the poor is not sufficient to instigate housing production and more research is needed to determine appropriate policies to encourage affordable housing development on this land.

Full textThe birth of democracy in South Africa in 1994 not only meant the end of apartheid, but also served as the catalyst for community participation in the affairs of local government. Despite the creation of an enabling environment, i.e. the adoption of the concept of Developmental Local Government and Integrated Development Planning Framework to ensure the participation of communities, public participation remains contested today and still does not achieve its expected results. A range of problems besets public participation in governance and development planning. Accordingly, this thesis presents a case study of the barriers to meaningful public participation as well as exploration of the context and extent of public participation in Ward 28, Elsies River, Cape Town, South Africa. The investigation examined the link between public participation, development planning and service delivery. In order to achieve the stated aim, the researcher employed a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods including secondary analysis, observation, informal interviewing, focus group discussions as well as the administration of a structured questionnaire to various stakeholders. Based on the empirical results of this research, the study provides a number of developmental guidelines and public participation recommendations to enhance planning and service delivery, especially in poor communities.

Full textA escolha do tema deste trabalho Final de Mestrado recaiu sobre a Cidade Multinível como conceito impulsionador para a regeneração Urbana da envolvente do Parque das Nações. A área envolvente a poente do Parque das Nações é um espaço esquecido, entre a faixa ribeirinha (fortemente intervencionada em consequência da Exposição Internacional de 1998) e os Olivais (Norte e Sul). Um espaço de grande potencial desconetado dos territórios envolventes devido à forte presença de um património industrial obsoleto e degradado, e confluência de grandes infraestruturas de acessibilidade. Considerando os objetivos e localização desta proposta foi desenvolvida a compreensão de temáticas sobre a evolução do planeamento urbano, fragmentação urbana, infraestruturas e cidade multinível, como meio de sustentação à resolução das problemáticas identificadas. A proposta contempla a consolidação da zona a norte da Gare do Oriente e a reestruturação urbana da área a sul. Propõe o desenvolvimento de uma infraestrutura multinível que funcionará como meio de conexão entre territórios até então apartados. Esta intervenção pretende promover uma imagem arquitetónica de referência e uma qualidade de vivência de espaço público, característico do Parque da Nações, mas contrariamente ao que acontece neste, atuar como um tecido unificador e não como um espaço isolado.
ABSTRACT: This Master thesis theme is Multilevel City as a driving concept for the urban regeneration of the surroundings areas of Parque das Nações. The surroundings areas of Parque das Nações are a forgotten space, between the riverside strip (heavily intervened as a result of the International Exhibition in 1998) and the area of Olivais (North and South). A space with great potential demarcated by a disconnection with the surrounding territories in consequence of the presence of an obsolete and degraded industrial heritage and the confluence of great accessibility infrastructures. Considering the objectives and location of this proposal, the understanding of themes as urban planning evolution, urban fragmentation, infrastructures and multilevel city were developed. The proposal seeks to consolidate the north area of Gare do Oriente and develop an urban reorganization of the south area. It proposes the development of a multilevel infrastructure that will act as a unifying element between separated territories. This intervention intends to intervene in order to promote an architectural image of reference and a public space quality experience, very characteristic of the Parque das Nações. The resulting area will act as a unifying factor.

The research is to realize the current situation and the difficulties that Web-base Learning for teacher professional development at county/city level. Different from face-to-face learning、teachers』 e-learning is an activity that uses web-based learning platform to improve the growth of professional teaching for junior high and elementary school teachers. The researcher interviewed ten different subjects who are responsible for teachers』 web-base learning and four teachers who participated in the web-base learning. The research results show that the important factors to influence teachers』 web-base learning progress are the motivation and policies made by the educational administration. The limitations are low quality of the classes、over-weighted proportion of computer science curriculum、the immature collaborated team work、high percentage of learners』 dropping out、not well supervised web based curriculum 、lack of encouragements for teachers to start new classes、out-of-date rules、and external resource involvements . We suggest that educational administration establish a group of advisor and reinforce their e-learning.They can strengthen the organization structure from current resource center、and make a series of training plans. Besides、they can combine digital resources with industry and cooperate with each other to promote the width and depth of e-learning. As for e-learning courses、we can examine and evaluate the courses、and raise teachers』 willing to take part in starting e-learning classes. At last we improve the advantage of using e-learning courses through the way of school-based e-learning.

As a legally binding spatial planning instrument, Urban Planning should be used to create exercise-friendly environments to cope with public health issues in an aging society such as dementia. This research aims to investigate the exercise preferences and demand among high-risk cohort of dementia (older women with normal cognitive function or with mild cognitive impairment (MCI)). Meanwhile, analyze the relationship among exercise space planning, exercise behavior and cognitive function of older women. The research methods are questionnaire, second-hand information collection and expert interviews. And four villages in Tainan are selected as the empirical study area. The result shows that almost 30% participants have MCI or serious cognitive impairment. In addition, the findings also support that exercise space planning has a positive effect on both exercise behavior and cognitive function of older women. Therefore, we can conclude that shaping supportive environments for exercise is crucial. Moreover, this research proposes several suggestions for amending relevant laws and regulations of exercise space planning. The suggestions span across the level of planning, the level of Periodical Overall Review of Urban Planning and the level of design.
