Full textAbstract:
This thesis is a morphological study of the settlement patterns of the diverse hill groups in Chittagong Hill Tracts – a mountainous borderland of Bangladesh in South Asia. It examines the settlement morphology of a hill town, using a combination of both quantitative and qualitative methods, and explains the recurrent neighbourhood types of the highland groups in relation to their urbanisation. The research findings related to the settlements of diverse cultural groups in a cross-border region of the Asian uplands are also relevant to similar contexts and enquiries. Furthermore, the developed methodological framework that facilitated the data collection process in CHT's culturally diverse regions is also applicable to the investigation of geographic areas with similar socio-cultural complexities. Finally, this research specifically contributes to the literature of cross-cultural studies of highland towns and vernacular settlements in the Asian context.

Full textAbstract:
Participation in outdoor play is important for healthy development during the early years, as evidenced by numerous research studies linking participation in outdoor play with positive benefits for children. Previous research has found links between parent perceptions of their neighbourhood and children’s participation in outdoor play, suggesting the importance of considering how parents view outdoor play spaces. The purpose of this study was to explore and better understand the perspectives of parents regarding the outdoor play spaces in their neighbourhood for their young child. An urban neighbourhood within the City of Vancouver was selected as the location for this study, and 7 parents (6 female, 1 male) of children ages 2 to 5 years old living within the selected neighbourhood participated in the study. The qualitative research methodology photovoice was used to empower participants to share their knowledge and experiences of their community through photographing their community and participating in focus group discussions. Data was collected in the form of participant photographs and transcriptions of focus groups and interviews. Using thematic analysis, the themes that represent the perspectives of this group of parents were identified. The findings revealed two categories of outdoor play spaces, Designed Outdoor Play Spaces and Outdoor Play Spaces of Opportunity. Parents perceived that anywhere outdoors had the potential to be an outdoor play space if it afforded opportunities for play. Outdoor play spaces were used in a variety of ways by parents and their children for Play, Social Connections, and Outdoor Space. Parents also described Modifying Spaces with the goal of Enhancing Spaces or Reducing Concerns. Parents discussed issues of quality related to the outdoor play spaces in their neighborhood, identifying Supporting Factors, Limiting Factors, and Supporting and Limiting Factors that influenced their perceptions of quality and their desire to use a space. The findings of this study suggest the value of considering parent perspectives and indicate important considerations for the design of neighbourhood outdoor play spaces that meet the needs of families and support children’s outdoor play.Education, Faculty of

Turedi, Almula. "The European Neighbourhood Policy Towards Lebanon: Expansion Without Further Enlargement." Master's thesis, METU, 2008. http://etd.lib.metu.edu.tr/upload/2/12609516/index.pdf.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis analyzes the European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP) towards Lebanon. The thesis looks into early European initiatives to demonstrate growing EU ambitions towards the Mediterranean region. Lebanon is examined with its specificities in historic context and EU&rsquos sending troops to UNIFIL army after the July 2006 war. As the 2004 enlargement brought the EU closer to Lebanon, and as the EU tends to play a growing international role, particularly in the Mediterranean region, the EU saw the Israeli attack on Lebanon as an opportunity to increase its engagement in Lebanon, thereby increasing its influence in the region. The thesis argues that the ENP is the newest foreign policy tool both to answer the concerns of EU in the Mediterranean region and to raise the EU&rsquo
s profile in the region.

Abdlrahman, Abdlrahman Y. A. "Insect herbivores and neighbourhood effects in plant communities of Al Jabal Al Akhdar, Libya." Thesis, University of Nottingham, 2011. http://eprints.nottingham.ac.uk/12122/.
Full textAbstract:
Neighbouring plants in the locale of an individual plant may help or hinder it in the task of defence against herbivores, depending on their levels of defence (chemical or physical), and their interactions with potential herbivores. Such ‘neighborhood effects’ are part of the complex network of species interactions that structure ecological communities. This thesis sets out to test whether there are neighbourhood effects on insect herbivory among the plants of the Al Jabal Al Akhdar region of Libya. Having chosen to concentrate on the two main species of three study sites, Juniperus phoenicea and Pistacia atlantica, nine plots were mapped in detail and the insect herbivores sampled from focal plants, and then from all plants. Leaves were sampled for chemical analysis of their phenol (tannin) content. The set of insect herbivores collected from plants in the plots were identified to species using the expertise of the staff of the Natural History Museum in London. Some insects recorded are new to Libya, and there are several species not previously recorded as feeding on either of the two plant species studied. Tannin levels were much higher in Pistacia than in Juniperus, and there were effects of elevation as well: plants from middle elevation plots had the highest levels, while those from the lowest elevation at the coast had the lowest levels of tannins. There were clear effects of neighbouring plants on the insects of individual plants, in both Pistacia and Juniperus. These were much more complex effects in Pistacia, but both sets of predictors of insect herbivore density or species richness contained clear signs of neighbourhood effects, where the existence of close neighbours reduced the herbivore load on individual plants. There were no signs of any protective neighbourhood effects of tannin levels. Thus in the plant communities of Al Jabal Al Akhdar, associational avoidance appears to be the major mechanism of neighbourhood effects, rather than associational resistance.

; ABSTRACT:
During the 1960s, in order to correspond to the bilateral agreements between Portugal and the Federal Republic of Germany
- in order to provide operational training facilities to the German Air Force - the No. 11 air base was installed in Beja.Also belonging to the base, although integrating the urban network of the southwestern part of the city of Beja, a neighbourhood was set up consisting of public facilities, housing, green spaces and leisure areas, complemented by other social support facilities - "Bairro dos Alemães".
Commercial, educational and recreational facilities were designed to be enjoyed by members adjacent to the base and the city's population in general. Also, part of the plan was the construction of playing fields, swimming pool, military hospital, church, cinema, hotel, heliport and a forest, which still functions today as the lung of the city of Beja.

Full textAbstract:
Most life forms, including plants, are more or less susceptible to infection by pathogens. Whereas plant-pathogen interactions are well studied in human-managed systems they are less known in natural ecosystems. In this thesis the interactions between the sterilising anther-smut fungus Microbotryum silenes-dioicae and the host plant Silene dioica were studied in natural habitats in the Skeppsvik archipelago in northern Sweden. The purpose was to study some population characteristics that can potentially influence the colonization of anther-smut (Microbotryum silenes-dioicae) in young Silene dioica populations. Specifically, it was tested whether the population age, floral- and total density, population size and distances to nearest diseased populations affect incidence of disease (presence of disease) and prevalence of disease (proportion of diseased individuals in populations) in younger host populations. It was found that incidence and prevalence of disease increased with host population age and size. In addition, it was seen that distances to diseased populations could not explain incidence or prevalence of disease. These results can potentially be used to predict disease risk in similar plant-pathogen systems.

Xu, Leilei. "Children's assessment of their neighbourhood socio-physical environment, social interactions and social capital: an interactional-constructivist approach." Thesis, The University of Sydney, 2010. https://hdl.handle.net/2123/28223.
Full textAbstract:
The main purpose of this study was to investigate the pattern of relationships
among three constructs: neighbourhood socio-physical environment, children’s social
interactions and their social capital. The research also explored how country of
residence, gender, social-economic status and ethnic background relate to the pattern
of relationships. In addition, this study was based upon and tried to corroborate the
interactional—constructivist world View and the theory of social capital.
Three bodies of research literature formed the background of the current
study: (1) the interactional—constructivist world View was the framework that shed
lights on the research questions and the research methods; (2) the theory of social
capital provided the basis for developing the scale of children’s social capital; and (3)
previous studies on children and their neighbourhood socio-physical environment
helped to develop the scale of neighbourhood socio—physical environment.
The main research question was: what is the pattern of relationships among
children’s assessment of their neighbourhood socio-physical environment, social
interactions and social capital? Other research questions investigated the differences
between children in Beijing and Sydney, boys and girls, and differences due to
family’s socio-economic background and ethnic background.
This research was carried out in two phases. Phase I included the qualitative
studies to develop a scale of neighbourhood socio-physical environment, a scale of
children’s social interactions and a scale of children’s social capital. Phase II was a
cross-national survey that used these three scales to collect information from high
school students in Beijing and Sydney. During phase I, qualitative techniques such as
interviews, walking tours and photographs were used to collect information from the
respondents. During phase II, the investigator used a self-administered questionnaire
to collect data from 166 Australian students and 234 Chinese students. Exploratory
factor analysis, analysis of variance and structural equation modeling were used to
analyse the main study data.
The main finding of the current study was that there were strong and
significant correlations between each pair of the three constructs. Children’s
assessment of their neighbourhood socio-physical environment was found to be
positively related to their social interactions and social capital, which indicated that
children who live in better neighbourhoods had more social interactions and larger
volumes of social capital. Strong positive relationship was also found between
children’s social interactions and social capital, which indicated that better—connected
children interacted with their friends more.
In addition, significant differences between students in Beijing and Sydney,
differences due to gender, socio-economic status and ethnic background were
revealed from the data. For example, students in Sydney rated their socio-physical
environment higher than students in Beijing; girls assessed themselves as having
smaller volumes of social capital than boys; children from better educated families
had more social capital; and Australian children with European backgrounds exercised
more often than Australian children from other ethnic backgrounds.
This study has two theoretical implications. Firstly, as the findings of this
research supported the main research hypothesis, this study corroborated the
interactional—constructivist world view. Secondly, as the data supported the ecological
model of children’s social capital, this study corroborated the theory of social capital.
The results of this study provide important information to planners, designers,
and policy makers: we can improve the socio-physical environments of
neighbourhoods to support children’s social development. This study also provides
information to help parents choose child-friendly neighbourhoods to live. It also
suggests that parents should encourage their children to interact with friends more, so
that their children may build wider and stronger friendship networks to increase their
social capital.

Spencer, B. "Playful public places for later life : how can neighbourhood public open space provide opportunities for improving older people's quality of life by enabling play?" Thesis, University of the West of England, Bristol, 2013. http://eprints.uwe.ac.uk/21752/.
Full textAbstract:
This research explores the qualities of public open spaces that make them suitable or not for enabling play by older people. The potential benefits to older people in terms of quality of life are related to the nature of play by adults, identifying the shared themes of autonomy, control and enjoyment. This forms a starting point for the investigation of older people’s own definition and experience of play and enjoyment in public open spaces. No previous research has explored this theme. The concept of affordances is used to analyse and explain how the qualities of public open space can relate to the varied interests, experiences and abilities of older people. Affordances are situated within a broader socio-ecological model of the relationship between people and the environment. This leads to an understanding of affordances that goes beyond the purely functional to include the social and emotional. Mixed qualitative methods were used with people over 65, including focus groups, walking interviews and participant photographs. This research found that while the term ‘play’ is not one that older people generally use about their own activities in public open space, there is a desire for, and valuing of, experiences that can be understood as play. The need for safety and comfort, especially through the provision of toilets and seating, was emphasized as important in creating a ‘safe-frame’ for the enjoyable use of public space. Participants also highlighted the importance of ‘soft’ interventions in public space: temporary events and activities, such as music. Alongside being with friends and relatives, especially their children and grandchildren, these provided the signs, or excuses, to behave playfully. Older people were found to value the social possibilities and positive affect offered by play in public open spaces in an urban setting, but within a framework of rules which were not transgressed. This framework was made by having social contact and by elements in the environment that triggered humour and engagement, particularly watching other people playing, elements of challenge and surprise. This research has provided an innovative means of understanding the potential of public open spaces for older people that goes beyond more traditional concepts of access and support. It concludes that public open space can provide stimulating and engaging opportunities for improving older people’s quality of life through enabling playful experiences, and suggests a number of ways this research can be taken forward.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis explores placemaking theory in order to define the role of the professional planner to regain and contribute to the art of making places that are meaningful and reflective of the diverse people that inhabit them. In relating placemaking to the planning profession this thesis critically examines the role and process by which the City of Winnipeg Planning and Land Use Division has practiced the making of places through a neighbourhood management approach to local level planning in the Fort Rouge community. Neighbourhood management as demonstrated in this thesis serves more as an approach to enable the City to administratively manage neighbourhoods and less by which citizens can participate in strategically thinking about the collective maintenance, development and management of their neighbourhoods. While the Fort Rouge Neighbourhood Management Plan has outlined community concepts, principles and a strategy for action, it has not provided the community with the underlying objectives of relation and capacity building. This thesis argues that the neighbourhood management approach would be most enabling for both the City of Winnipeg Planning and Land Use Division and citizens through placemaking practice.

Full textAbstract:
Social mix is a highly contested global trend in urban planning as it can result in some of the same negative social consequences as gentrification, such as displacement and social polarization. In 2014, the City of Vancouver approved a social mix strategy for one of its low-income neighbourhoods in their Downtown Eastside (DTES) Local Area Plan (LAP). With this plan, the city aimed to increase mid- and high-income residents in a predominately low-income neighbourhood. Included were Social Impact Objectives to mitigate harm to existing low-income residents, and assurances the approach would benefit all community members. The LAP provoked questions of whether social mix could, indeed, benefit low-income residents. This qualitative single-case research study investigates the experiences of residents with low incomes in the DTES neighbourhood, three years after the implementation of the LAP. The study is grounded in an anti-oppressive framework, with attention to anti-colonization and the unique experiences at the intersection of gender and colonial oppression. Three key findings emerged from neighbourhood observations and semi-structured focus groups conducted in 2017 with twenty-four research participants. First, experiences of displacement in the DTES were reported; second, experiences of social polarization within their neighbourhood were described; and, third, most participants demonstrated strong community connections despite the social mix changes. The findings suggest low-income residents did not benefit from social mix and, if further displacement and polarization were to continue, the negative impact on low-income residents would increase.Graduate

Bandow, KI. "Neighbourhood effects on plant functional traits in an experimental forest." Thesis, 2022. https://eprints.utas.edu.au/47054/1/Bandow_whole_thesis.pdf.
Full textAbstract:
Understanding the way plants respond to their environment is a central aim in plant ecology, as these responses are what fundamentally influence ecosystem function. Plant functional traits describe morphological, physiological, and phenological characteristics that affect overall plant fitness through their influence on survival, growth, and reproduction. Functional traits are heralded as a dynamic, representative, and simple way to capture plant response and predict ecosystem processes. In recent years, there has been a focus on understanding trait patterns that emerge along abiotic environmental gradients, however there is little research on the role of the biotic environment, a key aspect underpinning plant co-existence. This study aimed to address whether there is, in fact, a functional trait response to biotic influences, in an experimental forest, or if responses are due to microclimate alone. This research took place at the Australian Forest Evenness Experiment (AFEX), Using this experimental forest provides a unique opportunity to investigate neighbourhood interactions, where the density and spatial patterning of individuals is the result of experimental manipulation, rather than a consequence of variation in abiotic conditions. Four species, Eucalyptus regnans, Eucalyptus delegatensis, Pomaderris apetala and Acacia dealbata, were measured for six plant functional traits: specific leaf area (SLA), leaf dry matter content (LDMC), predawn water potential (Ψleaf), bark thickness, foliar nitrogen content (Nleaf), and the leaf area to sapwood area ratio (LA:SA). I found that neighbourhood interactions influence plant functional traits in ways that are highly dependent on the species involved. The effect of traits was often not mediated by microclimate although competition for light was common. I demonstrated that the functional traits of E. delegatensis, particularly those related to water relations, were significantly altered in the presence of P. apetala neighbours, indicating a strong competitive interaction between the two species for water. E. regnans, on the other hand, did not adjust its traits in response to P. apetala. In contrast, E. delegatensis and E. regnans did not display strong trait responses to the neighbourhood effect of the other, and therefore may not be directly competing. In fact, E. regnans may be providing a facilitative influence in this case. The information gathered in this study demonstrates that plant functional traits dictate plant responses to ththe biological environment, and that these responses are not solely dependent on the abiotic environment.

Full textAbstract:
This research project explores the integration of the concept of urban green infrastructure (GI) into three “green plans” developed by four Winnipeg inner-city neighbourhoods. Through a literature review, “green plans” evaluation, key-informant interviews, and a focus group interview, many factors that influence on the urban green infrastructure planning in Winnipeg have been identified. These factors were synthesized with a SWOT-TOWS framework to identify strategies and measures to address situations that these inner-city neighbourhoods might face in the process of urban GI planning. Several conclusions have been drawn to summarize the research results, including: green infrastructure planning in the Winnipeg urban neighbourhood context will be taking different physical forms in terms of network connection, which will have great impact on the GI benefits, GI planning principles and processes, and planning practices in those Winnipeg inner-city neighbourhoods; the “green plans” of the four Winnipeg inner-city neighbourhoods provide valuable lessons for preparing for future urban GI planning; and incorporating urban green infrastructure into current neighbourhood “green plans” will face various opportunities and challenges. Combined with some internal factors, these opportunities and challenges put GI planning in different situations, each of which needs their own strategies and measures.

In-between spaces are often underutilised, creating an opportunity for to connect and integrate adjacent spaces. With the help of human activity these space can become public environment with a social atmosphere, which can be enhanced through design details. I then introduce non-motorised transport and the significant need for an alternative mode of transport, due to increasing congestion in the city. This is done through an analysis cycling and what is required to develop cycling as an alternative mode of transport. The relationship between body and building, illustrate their intertwined and inseparable nature. Despite the wide range of movement that the body is capable of, architecture has the ability to enhance a user’s experience of a space by stimulating a sensory response to the building, while also manipulating the body into particular movement patterns. The programme of the building creates a dialogue between different the public space and the building. A with a non-motorised transport interchange and a gymnasium making up the bulk of the programme, serving to integrate the contrasting communities of Bellevue and Yeoville with Houghton. The site is located on the corner of Louis Botha Avenue and Cavendish Street on the border Bellevue, Yeoville and Houghton. Through a thorough urban analysis and site analysis the site is understood in greater detail, with precedent studies serving to give relevance to certain design decisions. The design of the building opens to the urban context on the ground floor, with movement routes informing positioning and functionality of space
