Khan, Faeza. "Social justice and participatory parity: Students’ experiences of university residence life at a historically disadvantaged institution in South Africa." University of the Western Cape, 2019. http://hdl.handle.net/11394/7024.
Full textThe shortage of appropriate student housing in South Africa has been under the spotlight for the past few years. This has been made explicit by the Report on the Ministerial committee for the review of the provision of student housing at South African universities, revealing shocking realities regarding the State of student residences and deplorable conditions under which many students are forced to live. The inequalities in higher education as a result of the legacy of apartheid reflect glaring gaps in resources between Historically Advantaged Institutions (HAIs) and Historically Disadvantaged Institutions (HDIs). The inequity present within higher education impacts on student learning, as HAIs have more resources than HDIs, giving students attending these institutions a different exposure to opportunities. Having a safe, conducive space that facilitates learning is key to ensuring that students are able to learn properly. This research study uses the work of Nancy Fraser to understand how her notion of social justice and the ability to participate as equals (participatory parity) relates to residence life at a HDI in South Africa. Fraser contends that economic, cultural and political dimensions influence participatory parity and either enable or impede the achievement of social justice. The research study considers what suitable institutional arrangements need to be put in place to facilitate more equitable participation for students to enable them to flourish at university. This study is located at the student residences of the University of the Western Cape (UWC). A participatory action research (PAR) design was used, with the study conducted in two phases. The first phase targeted 40 students across UWC residences and used Participatory Learning and Action (PLA) techniques, including the ‘River of Life’ and ‘Community Mapping’. The second phase, involving the same 40 students, comprised a Photovoice process and individual interviews. Nancy Fraser’s participatory parity framework and the dimensions was used as a lens to make sense of the data. The findings of this study revealed several constraints and enablements which affected student learning, namely economic, cultural and political dimensions. The economic dimension revealed constraints relating to poorly resourced facilities, insufficient and ineffective services and problematic technology. Students reported how maldistribution of resources affected them when the lack of those resources prevented them from participating as equals in relation to their peers. The cultural dimension indicated whose status at residences held esteem and whose did not, and consequently what perceived attributes are valued and devalued at residences. Differently abled students, students struggling with poverty, students living with mental health issues, LGBTIQ issues, issues of gender, as well as foreign national students, found themselves being devalued, meaning that they were misrecognised because of their status. The political dimension was used to examine whether students felt that they had a voice in decision making and whether they felt that their needs and opinions were represented. The study also examined whether students were misframed. Misframing occurs when students are excluded from the frame of justice and determines whether they count and have a valid claim to justice. Foreign national students reported experiencing misframing at residences since, in some respects, they did not qualify as claimants for rights. The study highlights how Fraser’s dimensions are mutually intertwined and reciprocally influence and reinforce one another but that none is reducible to another. Referring to each of the dimensions, the study examines affirmative and transformative strategies for remedying injustices, focusing on existing strategies as well as possible strategies which could bring about participatory parity for students. Finally, the study presents a list of recommendations which the university could consider to improve student learning at residences.

This study was designed to assess a PWIs residential life department's initiative to provide their Resident Assistants (RAs) an opportunity to discuss race through an inter-group dialogue session. I argue that any activity that focuses on race needs to be grounded in a social justice framework. This is because this framework educates individuals about systematic social, political, and economic issues that plague our society. A social justice grounding also fosters a disposition that desires to eliminate institutionalized discrimination. As such, this study sought to answer the following research questions: how did this inter-group dialogue impact the RAs ability to recognize race-related issues in the United States and did this inter-group dialogue foster a social justice perspective among the RAs that participated? Through a content analysis of ten in-depth, semi-structured interviews with RAs who participated in the dialogue the findings suggest that RAs did gain an understanding of how different lived experiences effect how someone views societal race issues, but the inter-group dialogue did not foster a transformative perspective among RAs that were not already grounded in social justice. Recommendations to improve future sessions are provided.

Full textThe decline of the nationality in private international law is nowadays an undeniable reality. The impact of an almost unconditional mobility of European citizens and the emergence of other connecting factors in the personal law result in the weakening of the nationality link, despite its historical role in determining the law applied to an individual. The weakening is confirmed by the modern European legislation and case law. This study seems essential to understand the foundations of nationality as the connecting factor and takes into account the important changes of the nationality and its uncertainty. Indeed, the evolution of the European private international law led to the switch of the connecting factor from nationality toward territorial nexuses. Particular significance is put on the nexus of habitual residence, which is considered to be more efficient and less discriminatory, and is retained by the main European regulations and judgments, not only in case of international divorces or parental authority, but also according to such matters as legal capacity. Furthermore, the superiority of human rights appears to be the essential reason for the acknowledgement of individuals as the quasi-subjects of international law, which resulted in the decline of nationality as a connecting factor. Consequently, the principles of non-discrimination and personal autonomy impact the further fields of personal law, e.g. disunion and heritage. In the light of these new paradigms, it should be questioned if it is possible to overcome the decadence of the nationality and authorize its part in some matters of the European private international law, as it was regulated in the new heritage European regulation. For these reasons, this study propose a methodology that determines the reasons of the fall of nationality as the nexus of the private international law, both in the conflict of laws and in the conflict of jurisdictions, and provides some reflections on its irreversibility
Le, Thi My Binh. "Tourisme et développement durable sur le littoral et les îles de la baie de Nha Trang (Vietnam)." Thesis, La Réunion, 2012. http://www.theses.fr/2012LARE0030/document.
Full textSustainable tourism, and the principles with which it is generally associated, has become a major concern not only at global and national but also at local levels as in the case of Nha Trang, an age-old sea-swimming destination in Vietnam. Regarded as one of the leading tourist centers of the country, Nha Trang is now facing with problems of tourism sustainability, particularly from a socio-cultural viewpoint: the exodus of islanders, the shortage of competent personnel in tourism, insufficient involvement of private sectors in the policies for tourism development in Nha Trang, overexploitation of Nha Trang Bay and the decrease in the amount of international tourists. With this awareness, the main question for us would be: Can we consider the actual tourism development in Nha Trang as sustainable from a viewpoint of socio-cultural indicators? In other words, is it possible to satisfy tourists, preserve local tourist resources, help the local community benefit from tourism and get all the factors to participate in the decision-making process? This research presents a double objective. First of all, it is important to analyze tourism in from a point of view based on socio-cultural indicators. At the conclusion of this research, proposals are forwarded so as to compromise two apparently contradictory dynamics: tourism development on the one hand and the preservation of local cultural heritage on the other. With an aim at performing this task well, 901 questionnaires have been handed out to the residents and tourists in Nha Trang, as well as 15 interviews that have been carried out with local authorities. The results of these surveys have been obtained through a research allowed to contact 137 tourist enterprises in Nha Trang. Thanks to this, the results obtained show in the first place that some principles associated to sustainable tourism from a socio-cultural viewpoint are not sufficiently observed in Nha Trang. Among these, the preservation of tourist and cultural resources particularly present lots of concern for the future. All the same, recruitment stability and equitable distribution of benefits arising from tourist operations constitute a basis for worries, similarly to the degree of participation of private sectors in tourism policies. In sum, despite tourists' relative satisfaction concerning the staff now working in tourism and the quality of services offered, the tourism sector demands further training. In order to make Nha Trang's tourism more sustainable from a socio-cultural viewpoint, our prerequisite proposal is to put into operation a plan of renovating Nha Trang’s tourism, by bringing about a well-balanced relationship between the land and the sea, which will hopefully pave the way for diversifying tourist practices, making advantage of inland tourist resources in tourism, assisting the residents to participate further in tourism projects. This performance is accompanied with an operational governance among residents, private factors and public figures involved in the tourism sphere. This solution would aim at increasing the participation of the private sector and promulgating tourism policies, virtually compromising tourism development and preservation of resources

According to the current land tax laws, land title owners who sell lands for owner-occupied residence would be suitable for using a 10% special tax rate to pay land value increment tax. The purpose here is to ease the taxation burden of land title owners and to show the concerns of the government’s real estate policy for people. How, this special tax rate policy not only increases the complexity of the land tax system, but also breaks the completeness of the taxation mechanism, damaging the ideal of “Land Value Increment to the Public.” Consequently, as the external environments and policy conditions have been changed, this paper first attempts to compare the different tax systems of the major developed countries. Furthermore, based on William N. Dunn’s six policy evaluation criteria, this paper discusses and analyzes the current land value increment tax of land for owner-occupied residence policy, and raises some questions: whether this policy achieves its original objectives and shows its policy functions? This paper also explores into the policy feasibility evaluation, as the Executive Yuan passed through the land tax law on August 29, 2007, changing the current “once-in-a-lifetime” tax rate into an “one house-in-a-lifetime” tax rate. In addition to the relevant literature and documents reviewed, in method, this paper adopts in-depth semi-structured interviews for reconstructing latest events and for understanding some unwritten data. Finally, findings of this pragmatic research are summarized as follows: (1) the land value increment tax of land for owner-occupied residence policy violates taxation equity and social justice; (2) this policy can’t work out the supply and demand problem of the real estate market, and causes the local government public finance income loss; (3) this policy affects the effective use of land resource, and produces the non-neutralism of taxation; (4) this policy lowers the functions of income redistribution; (5) this policy can lighten the tax burden for those who want to buy houses, but can’t increase the needs of housing; (6) this policy can’t reach the goals of “liver own his/her house” and “liver suit his/her house”; (7) if the policy changes the current “once-in-a-lifetime” tax rate into an “one house-in-a-lifetime” tax rate, this will boost the taxation complexity of the land tax system and tax administrative costs; result in the reduction of lock-in effect in the short run; and increase the supply and demand of overall land transactions; but this will not really meet people’s needs for house changes, infringing the purposes of the land policy; (8) abolishing the current special tax rate policy will match the international tide; (9) for the land value increment tax policy reform in the future, if the current tax rate policy can be transformed from the progressive tax rate system into a single proportional tax rate system, the goals of the tax policy reforms will be simultaneously accomplished.

The South Airport National Residence was built in 1964 and has been in operation for 55 years. Since the building has been over 55 years old and most of the residents living in it belong to the middle and lower classes of the society, the issue of the South Airport has become the focus of discussion in recent years. This paper mainly discusses the historical context of the construction of the National Residence of the South Airport, and examines the role of the government and the conflicts and relationships between the government and the people during the construction period from 1959 to 1964. A relatively complete background process. This paper is divided into five chapters. The first chapter is the introduction of the country house policy of the Republic of China, the relationship between the state house and the military mission. The second chapter is the origin of the national airport policy of the South Airport. From the relationship between the South Airport and the illegal buildings, the military village to The relationship between the national residence, the national house and the US aid is introduced. The third chapter is the change of the South Airport after the war, the evolution from the South Airport, the migration of the military to the South Airport, and the transformation of the South Airport into a golf course. The reason for transforming from a military airport into a golf course and building a national home base; the fourth chapter is the conflict and coordination of the construction of the South Island National House, from the conflict between the government and the people to the collusion between the government and the people, and the The influence of the Taipei Mayor''s general election is described. Finally, in response to the above process, the conclusions are about the problems in the construction process of the South Airport National Residence and how to avoid the recurrence of related events in the future. This article begins with a brief introduction to the policy background, and then uses the historical data of the archives and the newspapers at the time to make a contextual narrative, sorting out the major disputes arising from the construction of the National Residence of the South Airport during the construction process from 1959 to 1963. The historical arrangement of the construction of the South Airport National House can provide a historical perspective for the construction of the South Airport National House at the current stage, and it can also avoid the lack of repetition.

Abstract Housing Justice and related discussions have been hot topics recently. There are two main goals of this study: the first is to investigate whether the Housing Justice Policy is in accordance with the guarantee of basic human rights in the Constitution; the second is to investigate whether the current policies and case handling protect the right to housing, and to develop strategies for reference as the policy is put into effect. The methods of study include literature reference, cases, interviews and surveys. The interviews and surveys include two aspects: the first one is geared towards the employees of the executive branch of the government who is in charge of implementing the policy; the surveys’ purpose was to understand the obstacles faced in executing the policy and the strategies for improvement. The second one is geared towards the tenants in “Fenshan Creek”, which is an area to be expropriated by the government. The surveys’ purpose was to find out the problems faced and the needs when the land is expropriated, including where and how the current tenants should placed. The conclusions of this study are separated into three parts—expropriation, policies and implementation. In the expropriation part: first, there has been a long-term gap between what the people’s expectations are and what the government actually carries out in expropriation, placement oftenants and compensation. People’s fundamental rights are protected under the Constitution, so the government should actively communicate and coordinate with the people. Secondly, uniform expropriation and redevelopment of a whole district should not be the government’s main strategy; they should consider the district’s unique qualities and communicate and negotiate with the local residents to avoid the disagreements and upheaval stemmed from miscommunication. Thirdly, even though the district’s expropriation has been deemed necessary, the liability should not be borne by only the review panel, every level of the government should assume their responsibilities in doing their duty and reexamine, assess and improve the imperfections of the policy. In the policy part: first, after the bill for land expropriation was amended and passed, each government department had a clearer picture of how the plan was determined and how it will be executed; however, each local government still has varying standards. Secondly, each department should carefully examine the reason for expropriation within each district and the compensation and placement of the residents; for the residents who are financially at a disadvantage, the government should compensate accordingly. Thirdly, there is a lack of a uniformed approach to placements in the district expropriation bill, which is causing each local government’s process to vary and affecting the rights of the local residents. The government should consider the recommendations of experts and further scrutinize the flaws of the bill to protect the rights of the residents. In the implementation part: first, due to the different perspectives of the government and the people, the outcomes of the negotiation of prices of the expropriated land are not ideal. In the short run, communication should be improved, but in the long run, the law should establish the standard to be the market price. Secondly, in the process of expropriation, there is often misunderstandings and anxiety in the residents due to lack of information. As requested by the residents, there should be a communication team established to improve negotiation and communication. Thirdly, the tactics used in the placement of residents should be diversified, taking into consideration their economic status, to achieve the universal placement goals. Finally, each government division could use survey results to the advantage of the whole project. We have five suggestions: First, it is better to expand the subjects of expropriation; secondly, the expropriation project should have clear-cut implementation measures and standards; thirdly, add a committee to protect the rights of the residents; fourthly, the placement committee should coordinate across all divisions; lastly, the review committee should scrutinize the results of the placements.
