Full textAbstract:
Abstract More innovative living arrangements are developed within long-term care, leading to an increase in relocations. Relocating within long-term care is a long pending and intensive undertaking, especially for staff members. The combination of relocating and achieving a successful culture change might be a daunting task for staff members. Given the increase in the number of relocations and the fast development of innovative living arrangements, it is key to expand our knowledge concerning the impact such an undertaking has. The research question is therefore: ‘How is the relocation from a regular to an innovative living arrangement experienced by staff members?’ To answer this research question, 41 semi-structured interviews with staff members of several nursing homes undergoing a relocation were conducted. These nursing homes had to undergo a relocation to an innovative living arrangement. Findings indicate that a relocation process within long-term care is an intensive and stressful undertaking. Staff members often describe the relocation process as ‘stressful’, ‘chaotic’, and ‘intense’. Furthermore, although staff members are mostly positive about the new physical environment, they experience an array of barriers when trying to implement a new way of working. They define two key elements for successfully relocating and implementing a new way of working. First, clear communication and receiving sufficient information throughout the relocation process. Second, proper preparation for implementing a new way of working and coaching on the job. It is evident that relocating to an innovative living arrangement is a large undertaking that requires careful planning.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to increase the understanding of the management of office relocations in Finnish organisations with a focus on the use of, and need for, external advisory services. Design/methodology/approach – The study used a sequential mixed method approach. First, the use of relocation-related services, and organisations’ perception of the need for them, was assessed through a questionnaire sent to all organisations with more than 50 employees in the Helsinki Metropolitan Area (HMA). The data includes 83 responses. Subsequently, service experiences, perceived service needs, and the challenges that organisations face in relocation are studied through thematic interviews with 15 organisations that have recently relocated. Findings – The findings show that, despite facing many challenges when relocating, many organisations do not consider using external service providers. Most organisations do not acknowledge the complexity of the process until afterwards, and they also lack knowledge of the availability of relocation-related services. Research limitations/implications – The main limitation is the population size of the questionnaire. A larger population would have allowed for more generalisations, but the results do provide insight into the organisations’ issues in managing their relocations. Practical implications – In order to facilitate the better organisational relocation experiences, and to develop the market for relocation-related services, service providers need to begin educating organisations of the challenges and opportunities of relocation, and successively increase the awareness of the availability of services. Originality/value – Relocation, when it is considered in the literature, is most often construed as being about location, or site selection. This study approaches the phenomenon from the organisations’ perspective and considers relocation a process that needs to be managed.

Purpose – Relocation is one of the tasks that corporate real estate management is responsible for. They are important events for organizations as there can be a variety of different impacts due to relocation. Previous research has made a distinction between long and short distance relocations. This paper focuses on contributing to the knowledge of the relocation phenomenon. The purpose is to examine the scale and volume of companies’ HQ relocations.
Design/methodology/approach – The study uses quantitative data of address changes of Finnish companies which is qualitatively analyzed in respect to the relocation distance and the amounts of relocated companies in order to formulate an understanding of how far and often companies have relocated.
Findings – The findings of this study indicate that the majority of relocations are short distance relocations; Two thirds were relocations of less than ten kilometres. The median relocation distance was less than five kilometres. Further, 30 percent of the companies had relocated at least once during the five and half year period and six percent during the last year of the dataset.
Practical implications – The increased knowledge of the relocation phenomenon’s scale, volume and nature supports the development of relocation management as well as relocation related service business, thus enabling organizations possibly to relocate more efficiently and optimally. The dominant role of short-distance relocations suggests that from organizations’ perspective, there are certain underlying drivers for organizations to remain within same region.
Originality/value – The findings of the study give an overall view of the scale and volume of the relocations phenomenon within the private sector in Finland. The importance of relocation management and workplace change requires more attention as opposite to the mere location selection approach

Full textAbstract:
Objectives:Elderly people who live in nursing homes can be faced with intramural relocations for various reasons, whether individual or per group. Because the impact of these intramural relocations on residents is unknown, our aim is to explore how relocations within nursing homes affect residents from different stakeholder-perspectives.Methods:We performed semi-structured individual interviews and a focus group with various stakeholders of intramural relocations to collect a broad outlook on its practice based on diverse perspectives and lived experiences. The interviews and focus group were audio-recorded, transcribed verbatim and analyzed using responsive and thematic analysis.Results:Seventeen interviews were held and one online focus group with six participants. In the interviews, participants mentioned various reasons for intramural relocations, such as outdated real estate for group relocations or changing healthcare demand for individual relocations. Participants distinguished various levels of impact on residents on different moments in time (before, during and after the relocation). The impact varied from very positive (e.g. looking forward and excited) to very negative (e.g. stressful, traumatic, hard to understand). Aspects that influenced the impact of relocation were related to 1) the mental resilience of residents, 2) how relocations were organized, 3) the presence and quality of social connections of residents and 4) if benefits of the new (care) environment were experienced. The focus group added insights on the importance of clear and timely communication with residents and recognizability of (personal) items and personnel from the former nursing home to reduce negative experiences of residents relocating within nursing homes.Conclusions:The impact of relocations within nursing homes differs per situation, moment in time and resident. Aspects found that influence the impact provide targets to reduce the negative impact on residents: practices should focus on good preparation, clear communication, preserving social connections of residents where possible and paying attention to the benefits of the new (care) environment for the residents. Further research may focus on the lived experiences and perceived impact of relocations within nursing homes of residents themselves to develop in depth insights into tailored (care) needs of residents during the relocation process.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractThe predominant responses to rising sea levels are in situ adaptations. However, increasing rates of sea-level rise will render ex situ adaptations—in the form of relocations—inevitable in some low-lying coastal zones. Particularly small island states like the Maldives face this significant adaptation challenge. Here, government action is necessary to move vulnerable communities out of flood-prone areas. Yet, little empirical knowledge exists about the governance of relocations. While the literature often highlights risks and benefits of relocations, it remains unclear how governments organized relocations and what drove relocation policy. Therefore, we examined Maldivian relocation policies from 1968 to 2018 to explain government support of relocations. For this, we used a qualitative research design and extended the multiple streams approach with the theoretical lens of historical institutionalism. To gather data, we conducted semi-structured interviews (n = 23) with relocation policy experts and locals affected by relocations. Interview data was complemented with a desk review of relevant laws, historical records, and policy documents. We find 29 completed and 25 failed cases of relocations in the 50-year period. Key drivers of relocation policies are focusing events, socioeconomic development, and institutionalized island autonomy. We find that relocations were predominantly initiated as means to facilitate economic development, not as a response to rising seas or coastal risk. With current rapid economic development and strengthened democratic institutions, relocations are not considered as a policy option anymore. We conclude that implementing relocations proactively will face significant barriers in the future, which highlights the urgency of successful in situ adaptations in the Maldives.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to describe different short-distance relocation management approaches applied by organisations in Finland. Corporate short-distance relocation is a significant event in the course of an organisation’s lifetime. While these kinds of relocations happen frequently, they are an infrequent event from the perspective of a single organisation. Therefore, few organisations have experience and knowledge on relocation management, which can result in improvised ways of managing the process. Design/methodology/approach – The paper uses a multiple-case study approach where the relocation management of five organisations is assessed post-relocation. Different aspects of the process, such as process phases and tasks, the organisation involved and employee participation, are scrutinized through 32 interviews with company representatives and documents provided by the organisations. Findings – The study describes five unique relocations that vary based on the level of change from a “routine move” to a “new beginning”. It further identifies four different models of managing the process: “one-man-show”, “orchestra”, “expert taskforce” and “democracy”. Originality/value – While previous studies have focused on either site selection decision-making or design of an already chosen space, the study describes five relocation processes that start from the relocation trigger and end when the organisation has relocated and settled into their new space.

An adult female Black Bear was repeatedly captured and relocated as a result of nuisance behaviour. The relocation distances ranged from 40 km to 389 km (mean = 152 km, n = 6). She homed successfully from all relocations, even when accompanied by young-of-the-year. Differential homing ability among bears may depend on first homing from a short relocation, facilitating subsequent responses to longer distance relocations.

Full textAbstract:
Painful neuromas following injury to the radial side of the wrist can be treated by relocation away from the zone of injury and implantation into muscle. Relocation to the brachialis muscle is useful for isolated neuromas of the lateral antebrachial cutaneous nerve and involves a shorter dissection than relocation to the brachioradialis. It is also useful in patients undergoing multiple procedures to avoid disturbing previous relocations to the brachioradialis. This paper describes the successful relocation of painful neuromas of the lateral antebrachial cutaneous nerve to the brachialis muscle in seven patients.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractSince 2010, States party to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change have recognized planned relocation as a viable adaptation to climate change. Planned relocation has been attempted in many communities globally and has raised serious issues of equity in some cases. Implementation driven by principles of equity is crucial in ensuring successful planned relocations that decrease loss and damage. In this Policy Analysis, we put forth a framework for equitable planned relocation rooted in theories of justice as a basis for implementation. The framework centers around three principles: comprehensive recognition of affected stakeholders in decision-making, consideration of socio-cultural risk factors relevant to relocation, and evaluation of multiple measures of well-being. There are many actors involved in planned relocation. Unique features and abilities of international organizations lend themselves to promoting equitable planned relocation in partnership with other stakeholders. Through the exploration of case studies, we identify best practices that international organizations have available to influence the design, implementation, and evaluation of planned relocation processes. These practices are relevant when striving for equity for all affected individuals and communities. Points of intervention include agenda-setting and advocacy, funding and implementation standards, and facilitation of international cooperation. International organizations also face barriers to supporting equitable planned relocation. Limitations include lack of enforcement mechanisms, limited resources, and fundamental dependence on existing governance structures and global collaboration. As the necessity of planned relocations grows, the need for leadership from international organizations in implementation is magnified, underscoring the importance of developing and evaluating approaches to just implementation.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose – This paper aims to examine short-distance firm relocations, the most frequent form of relocation, to better understand how employees as individuals experience those relocations. Design/methodology/approach – This study was a multiple-case study with five organisations that had relocated within the same metropolitan area during the previous 18 months. To understand why and how the relocation was carried out, 15 semi-structured interviews were conducted with company representatives who were actively involved in making decisions and executing the relocation of their organisation. Subsequently, to study the employees’ experience and perception of the process, 17 employees who did not have an assigned role in the process were also interviewed. Findings – The findings show that even within the same organization, people experience relocation differently; therefore, the employees should not be treated as one object of change but as several individuals who experience change. Further, it was identified that relocation included both location and workplace change aspects. Research limitations/implications – The study is of qualitative nature and, therefore, the findings should not be generalized to individuals outside of the context of study. Instead, the value lies in the description and the themes developed in the specific context. The findings show that emphasis needs to be put on how the relocation process is managed, and that relocation change management efforts should include both location and workplace changes. Originality/value – This study provides new insight on how individual employees experience the relocation process and augments the previous body of knowledge on employee experiences and satisfaction with various elements in the work environment and/or with new ways of working, and the previous studies on relocation that focus on comparing employees’ experiences of the old office with the new one.

AbstractBackground and ObjectivesResearch into the relocation (including international relocation) of people with dementia is increasingly important due to the aging population and latest developments in the international politics (including globalization and concerns over international migration). There is need for an overview of the health effects of relocation to facilitate and inform decision- and policy-making regarding these relocations. The aim of this literature review was to provide insight into the physical, psychological, and social consequences of varied types of relocations of older adults suffering from dementia.Research Design and MethodsA scoping literature review with a systematic search was performed in PubMed, Web of Science, PsychInfo, JSTOR, and ScienceDirect. The articles dealing with subject of relocation of older adults from 1994 to 2017 were included and analyzed. Methodological quality assessment was performed for all articles.ResultsFinal list included 13 articles. The effects of relocation were discussed in terms of mortality and morbidity. In most studies, the health effects of the relocation of older adults suffering from dementia were negative. A decline in physical, mental, behavioral, and functional well-being was reported. The most recurring effect was a higher level of stress, which is more problematic for patients with dementia. In general, unless it is carefully planned, it is best to avoid changing lives of people with dementia and it is recommended to actively work to reduce their exposure to stress.Discussion and ImplicationsThe outcomes of the study suggest definite evidence for the negative effects of relocation of the older adults. This research aims to be used as the support of the legal and medical decisions of relocation of patients with dementia.

The ‘group relocation’ policy imposed during the Japanese colonial period in Taiwan is arguably one of the most notorious policies to be imposed upon indigenes. As a result of this project, almost half of Taiwanese indigenes were resettled from the high mountain areas to the lowlands. Relocated populations needed to adjust themselves to new circumstances, and relocation became a traumatic memory for many. What is interesting is that relocating villages is not, historically, an uncommon occurrence for most Taiwanese indigenous groups. This suggests that ‘relocating villages’, in and of itself, might not be overly problematic for indigenous populations. Why then did the Japanese relocation policy come to be regarded as such a traumatic event? In this paper, I will present a sketch of how the Japanese relocation policy became regarded as such a traumatic event for many indigenous groups, and explore the reason the Thao people, living by Sun Moon Lake of central Taiwan, had a very different experience of relocation. Moreover, I also describe the relationship between the mapping project of Traditional Territories of Indigenous Peoples that began in 2002 and the collection of oral histories of indigenous relocation.

Full textAbstract:
Maritime transport is the backbone of international trade of goods. Therefore, seaports are of great importance for maritime transport. Container transport plays an important role in maritime transport and is increasing year by year. Containers transported to a container terminal are stored in container yards side by side and on top of each other, forming blocks. If a container that is not on top of the block has to be retrieved, the containers that are above the required container must be relocated before the required container is retrieved. These additional container relocations, which block the retrieval of the required container, slow down the entire retrieval process. The container relocation problem, also known as the block relocation problem, is an optimization problem that involves finding an optimal sequence of operations for retrieving blocks (containers) from a container yard in a given order, minimizing additional relocations of blocking containers. In this paper, the focus is on the two-dimensional, static, offline and the restricted container relocation problem of real-size yard container bays. A new method for resolving the container relocation problem that uses a genetic algorithm is proposed to minimize the number of relocations within the bay. The method is evaluated on well-known test instances, and the obtained results are compared with the results of various relevant models for resolving the container relocation problem. The results show that the proposed method achieves the best or the second-best result for each test instance within the test set.

Full textAbstract:
Relocating a natural history collection is a daunting prospect. Underpinning successful relocation is getting the fundamentals right. From the moment the seed of an idea for a new facility is planted, a raft of detailed planning and preparation issues emerge. Meticulous planning and management is essential, from initial design through to the last specimen being housed in its new location. Herbaria are complex organisms each with a core collection of specimen sheets and associated infrastructure to house them; ancillary collections such as ‘spirit’ and ‘DNA’, a library, databasing, mounting, materials, imaging, loans and exchange, facilities for environmental control, biosecurity, space for staff, volunteers, research students, and class or public access and outreach. All these elements require careful consideration for relocation regardless of the size of the collection. Timelines for relocations from initial decisions to commencement of the move vary widely. Early involvement of core herbarium staff is critical to managing risks to the integrity of the collection during a move. Success of the operation can be gauged immediately after the move and again, much later, based on feedback on the operation of the facility and whether planned expansion will meet future needs. All these considerations are important and essentially the same, irrespective of distance of relocation or size of the collection. We will discuss the fundamental issues of herbarium relocation based on two recent case studies.The Western Australian Herbarium moved from its 1970s home to a modern, purpose-built, best practice facility incorporating innovative design features in 2011 with c. 800,000 specimens. The John T. Waterhouse Herbarium at UNSW Sydney (The University of New South Wales) moved c. 66,000 specimens in October 2017 from within a 1962 departmental building, to a modern, purpose-built facility, incorporating significant improvements, as part of a much larger relocation of its School. We will provide a guide to assist future relocations, both imminent (such as the N.C.W. Beadle Herbarium at the University of New England (>100,000 specmens), and the National Herbarium of New South Wales, >1,400,000 specimens) and for those yet to be considered. This will be a presentation on behalf of the Managers of Australasian Herbarium Collections (MAHC), a network of herbarium Collection Managers in Australia and New Zealand.

Full textAbstract:
Road construction projects often involve the relocation of utility services to accommodate the growing needs of society. However, the impact of these relocations on project performance has not been comprehensively studied. This research aims to assess the challenges and impacts of utility relocation on road construction projects. Data on the impact of utility relocations was gathered from case studies of seven road projects in various phases, including construction and completion. A total of 90 questionnaires were distributed, with a response rate of 77.78%, representing contractors, consultancy firms, and clients. Data analysis included mean and standar d deviation calculations, as well as correlation tests between the number of utility-related change orders, time slippage, and cost overruns. The findings indicate that, on average, utility relocation leads to a 555.78% increase in the utility budget and an average time slippage of 13.79%. The primary challenges in managing utility relocations in road projects include delays in commencing utility identification and relocation work, insufficient utilization of technological tools and software for utility visualization and management, delays in acquiring rights of way for utilities, and the need for rework or change orders. The most impactful utility issues in road construction projects include the failure to identify and characterize utility conflicts, infrequent updates of utility relocation estimates during project development, and changes in utility plans caused by late project design modifications. The study reveals a strong correlation between the number of utility-related change orders and time and cost overruns in road construction projects. Addressing these challenges and proactively managing utility relocations is crucial for enhancing the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of road construction projects.

Forced relocations of tribal and indigenous peoples may seem a thing of the past, as few still defend colonialism. It is therefore seen as a historical trait that has reached its conclusion. Nevertheless, forced relocations of peoples still happens to this day, and may happen again; in the Arctic, for instance, several superpowers of this world express much interest in a strategic presence in this specific area. Today, a number of European countries have indigenous peoples on their territories. This article discusses this topic, taking its starting point in a case on forced relocation, which lasted for six decades. This article also discusses how forced relocation is regulated and possibly could be better handled today.

Full textAbstract:
The idea of relocation as a transformative disaster risk reduction, climate adaptation, and development strategy follows the assumption that relocation reduces the vulnerability of communities. Yet, it is unclear whose and what kind of vulnerability is reduced through relocation, and which factors are important in determining the “success” of relocation efforts as strategies for development, climate change adaptation (CCA), and disaster risk reduction (DRR). Temporary and short distance relocation is highly likely to achieve increased resilience by reducing exposure, but relocation to a new area and new communities brings a range of issues. CCA and DRR use different timescales and focal points regarding relocation: CCA focuses on future mass permanent relocation and the subsequent potential loss of cultures and identities mainly due to projected sea level rise. The DRR community focuses on temporary relocation as a way to reduce exposure to a range of hazards, although it is also involved in permanent movement as a transformative way to reduce risk and enhance development. We explore these differences in this paper, with examples mainly from the Pacific Small Island Developing States where past relocations have been numerous. Better understanding and articulation of the underlying assumptions and preferences in CCA, DRR, and development discourses on planned community relocation could provide a richer context for future planning and dealing with both slow-onset and sudden disasters.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Background and Objectives This study sought to explore the challenges and opportunities associated with supporting older homeless persons’ relocations to long-term care (LTC) from the perspective of service providers. It aims to inform how to improve relocation processes for this vulnerable and growing subpopulation of older persons. Research Design and Methods This cross-sectional qualitative study employed semistructured face-to-face interviews with service providers from two Health and Social Service Centres in Montreal, Quebec. All interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed verbatim, and thematically analyzed in five stages. Results A total of eight service providers reported on their experiences supporting over 40 relocations of older homeless persons (50+) in the last year. According to participants, older homeless persons’ trajectories into LTC typically included a series of neglected medical issues followed by hospitalization and eventual relocation to LTC. Systemic barriers such as limited-time for proper planning, insufficient housing options for persons with minor functional limitations, disregard for preferred geographic location, multiple moves, and staff prejudices worked together to expedite premature relocation and challenge relocation processes. Discussion and Implications Older homeless persons appear to be at heightened risk of premature and challenging relocation processes. Expanding housing stock for persons with functional limitations, strengthening intersectoral collaborations, providing education and training to staff, and ensuring flexibility around rules and regulations in receiving LTC homes would both improve access to aging in place for this marginalized group of older persons and ensure conditions are in place to support positive relocations to LTC for those who require it.

Relocation to activity-based workplaces influences work environment satisfaction, but individual determinants of changes in satisfaction remain unknown. The aim of the present study was to determine whether age, gender, education, occupational position, or office type before relocation can predict work environment satisfaction among employees and managers relocated to activity-based offices. Respondents (n = 422) rated work environment satisfaction three months before and nine months after relocation. The findings indicate that, on average, satisfaction decreased after relocation, while for some workers it increased. Occupational position and office type at baseline predicted changes in satisfaction with the work environment; specifically, managers and those working in open-plan offices before relocation reported a smaller decline in satisfaction after relocation, compared to those relocating from private offices. Participants with no university education were more satisfied with the physical and psychosocial work environment in activity-based workplaces than those with a university degree.

Residential relocation decision making is a complicated process, and modelling this complex course of actions requires careful scrutinisation of different aspects. The relocation decision comprises several different decisions, including the reason for the relocation, relocation timing, and attributes of the desired residence. Among these decisions needing to be taken, the reason for relocation and its timing are decided earlier than others. Depending on the variant reasons and motivations for relocating, its timing may be accelerated or decelerated. Relocation usually occurs because of a multiplicity of reasons, which necessitates using a multivariate model for relocation decision making that is jointly modelled with the timing decision. A competing accelerated failure model to jointly formulate these decisions. The housing search literature emphasizes on the importance of considering financial risk acceptance level of decision makers in residential relocation decision models. Therefore, a binary logit model is used to model whether the decision maker is financially risk averse or not. This paper used longitudinal data collected in Australia from the Household, Income, and Labour Dynamics in Australia Survey. Further, the impact of group decision making on residential relocation is captured in this paper through the information provided in Household, Income, and Labour Dynamics in Australia Survey regarding the manner in which decisions are made within households.

Decisions by primary caregiving parents to relocate after divorce, thereby disrupting the non-primary caregivers’ right of contact with children or, where both parents have joint care, the denial of the other’s parental rights and responsibilities to care, give rise to cases which deal with relocation disputes. My paper deals with the development of South African family jurisprudence in this area. Since the Children’s Act does not provide any criteria for cases dealing with relocation I examine the different jurisprudential approaches/trends taken by our courts in dealing with relocation. I pave the way forward by making the argument that we need a general consistency in approach by our courts when dealing with relocation disputes. As our society becomes increasingly mobile, our courts will be faced with more frequent applications for local and international family relocations. I conclude by making the recommendation that despite the Children’s Act, we still need “guidelines” or perhaps a “Relocation Act” which works in tandem with the Children’s Act.

This paper introduces an analysis of international relocation decisions of venture capital (VC)–backed companies. Relocations to the United States are motivated by economic conditions as well as an improvement in the laws of the country in which the entrepreneurial firm is based. Relocations to the United States yield much greater returns to Asia–Pacific VCs than investing in companies already based in the United States at the time of VC investment. Further, more experienced Asia–Pacific VCs have greater success with their investee relocations to the United States, and these relocations yield higher returns relative to staying in their country of origin.

This paper reports the results of treatment by proximal relocation of 104 painful nerves in 57 digits in 48 patients. These included 86 digital nerves and 18 terminal branches of the superficial radial nerve and the dorsal branch of the ulnar nerve. Eighty-three were end-neuromas and 14 were neuromas-in-continuity, of which nine followed nerve repair and five occurred following a closed crush injury. Seven were painful as a result of tethering in scarred tissue. Eighty nerves (77%) required a single relocation and 24 (23%) required more than one operation. Ninety-eight per cent of nerve relocations achieved complete pain relief at the primary site. One patient had mild pain on pressure at the primary site after relocation of two nerves from this site. Over 90% of the nerves had no spontaneous pain, pain on movement or hypersensitivity of the overlying skin at the final site of relocation. However, the incidence of mild or no pain on direct pressure at the site of nerve relocation was lower at 83% as relocated nerves, although traumatized less often at the sites chosen for relocation, can still be painful on direct pressure.

The authors model how state business incentives influence interstate relocation patterns of manufacturers using a panel (2000-2011) of 32 states. The National Establishment Time Series database and the Panel Database on Incentives and Taxes are used to study relocation by manufacturing establishments based on differences between the origin and destination states. The authors find that traditional factors associated with business climate, such as taxation and subsidies, statistically influence manufacturing interstate relocation. Further analysis shows that policy changes (e.g., increasing incentives and reducing taxes) to induce manufacturers to relocate may need to be infeasibly large or used in combination to evoke an economically meaningful increase in relocations.

The method used is descriptive qualitative. The key informants in this study is a cooperative trade field staff, SMEs, Trade and Industry Sidoarjo. With the technique of collecting data through interviews, observation and documentation and then analyzed through the stages of data collection, data reduction, data presentation and conclusion. The results showed that the process of relocating street vendors are not in accordance with the stages of the relocation as stipulated in the Regulation of Home Affairs Number 41 Year 2012 which begins from the stage of data collection by the two surveys and registration of street vendors, determining the location of street vendors, transfer and removal of the location of street vendors, for the rejuvenation of the location of street vendors. Relocation was finally done by the Department of Hygiene and Sidoarjo Regency which take discretionary acts such policies. The social impact of the relocation of street vendors in the area overpass Buduran district, in terms of comfort PKL more comfortable. But in terms of security is still not fully awake. PKL majority income declined due to the lack of empowerment of government. The government also has obstacles in the relocation of street vendors because of the limited land available as well as street vendors mindset still comfortable selling on the shoulder of the road because there is no money to rent a place.

Abstract This paper examines the problems in relocating street vendors in the religious tourism area of Menara Kudus. The relocation of street vendors does improve the visual quality and environment of the region, but it becomes a problem for street vendors, especially in the decline of consumers, revenue and the return of street vendors to the original location. Using qualitative methodology, this study examines the problem of relocation more deeply through depth interview analysis with street vendors. The results showed that there are problems in each parameter, such as the visibility of relocation sites whose image is less potent when compared to parks. Accessibility that this type of mode of transportation cannot traverse. The environment where the relocation is different from the flexibility of the previous environment. Limited land expansion that requires temporary arrangements related to land use. Competition with street vendors in the red zone (on street) can be in direct contact with consumers compared to the relocation of street vendors.

AbstractObjective: To assess the effects of relocation on the social behaviour and mental state of a group of 43 long stay psychiatric patients transferred from an old institution to a modern hospital. Method: Each patient was assessed using the MRC Social Behaviour Schedule and the Manchester Scale. Assessments were carried out prior to relocation and at six weeks and six months after transfer. Results: Some deterioration was apparent in the patients' social behaviour at six weeks following relocation but this trend was reversed to definite improvement at six months. There was an overall marked reduction in hostility and violence following relocation. Patients who showed most improvement in terms of social behaviour were the lower functioning group where greater emphasis was placed on promoting basic self care and social skills rather than on occupational therapy. Changes in mental state, following relocation, were minimal but a slight deterioration occurred especially in the area of negative symptoms. Conclusions: Relocations caused no serious adverse effects in the majority of these patients. The improvement observed in certain aspects of behaviour are attributable to the improved physical and psychological milieu of the receiving hospital.

There are few existing studies from a spatial perspective that explore the mechanism of the living environment, relocated direction and relocated distance on the elderly’s physical and mental health. Based on the 2019 household survey questionnaire data, this study utilizes a binomial logistic regression model and residents’ in-depth interviews to study relocated behavior in Nanjing. We analyzed the spatial–temporal characteristics of relocated behaviors, the accumulation effect at different stages and the influence of relocated intention on physical and mental health among the elderly. The findings are as follows: (1) The mode of relocation among the elderly includes long-term cumulative effects and short-term effects. Frequent relocation has a cumulative negative impact on the physical and mental health of the elderly. (2) The elderly relocated in the short-term had a great negative impact on their mental health but had no significant impact on their physical health. (3) In the last relocation, active relocation had a significantly positive impact on physical health. The “centrifugal relocation” from the main urban area to the surrounding new cities has a significant positive impact on mental health. Moreover, long-distance relocations adversely affected mental health.

High levels of vulnerability to climate change impacts are rendering some places uninhabitable. In Fiji, four communities have already initiated or completed the task of moving their homes and livelihoods to less exposed locations, with numerous more communities earmarked for future relocation. This paper documents people’s lived experiences in two relocated communities in Fiji—Denimanu and Vunidogoloa villages—and assesses the outcomes of the relocations on those directly affected. This study in particular seeks to identify to what extent livelihoods have been either positively or negatively affected by relocation, and whether these relocations have successfully reduced exposure to climate-related hazards. This study shows that planned climate-induced relocations have the potential to improve the livelihoods of affected communities, yet if these relocations are not managed and undertaken carefully, they can lead to unintended negative impacts, including exposure to other hazards. We find that inclusive community involvement in the planning process, regular and intentional monitoring and evaluation, and improving livelihoods through targeted livelihood planning should be accounted for in future relocations to ensure outcomes are beneficial and sustainable.

Ukrainian manufacturers should look for opportunities to maintain their productivity and competitiveness even in difficult conditions. Relocating production to another region or abroad may be one of the options for solving problems, but this requires a deep analysis of the risks and opportunities associated with the war and the unstable situation in the country. Managing the relocation of production enterprises has always been a difficult process, and in the conditions of uncertainty of war, this task becomes even more important and urgent. The article examines various aspects of the topic, including the reasons for choosing to relocate, the main countries for relocation, the factors that influence the choice of a relocation location, as well as the benefits and risks of the process. Relocation is considered as a strategic step that can positively affect the development of the enterprise.

Abstract Stochastic processes with random reinforced relocations have been introduced in a series of papers by Boyer and co-authors (Boyer and Solis Salas 2014, Boyer and Pineda 2016, Boyer, Evans and Majumdar 2017) to model animal foraging behaviour. Such a process evolves as a Markov process, except at random relocation times, when it chooses a time at random in its whole past according to some ‘memory kernel’, and jumps to its value at that random time. We prove a quenched large deviation principle for the value of the process at large times. The difficulty in proving this result comes from the fact that the process is not Markovian due to relocations. Furthermore, the random inter-relocation times act as a random environment.

China’s 21st-Century Maritime Silk Road Project (involving USD1 trillion) is one of the most ambitious projects in human history. Although this trans-continental project presents tremendous development opportunities for businesses and cities within and outside China, there is nascent progress in some cities, for example, Quanzhou. With limited development prospects, enterprises are considering partial or total relocation to central cities to overcome bottlenecks and exploit future opportunities. Past relocation literature offers limited and contrasting insight into enterprise relocation’s antecedents and outcomes, especially for China. This article has attempted to fill this gap by exploring the factors affecting relocation decisions in Quanzhou using a sample of 441 employee self-reports. The logit regression model indicated that employees and cadre groups consider four factors before headquarter relocation, including preferential policies and industry environment (e.g., subsidies and tax), management resources (e.g., standardized management), intelligence and software resources (e.g., brand awareness), and international communication and market space (e.g., market openness). The intelligence and software resources were the least prioritized relocation factors among all four factors. The article presents important policy implications based on current results.

New digital technologies are a driving force behind many pivotal changes in our modern world. For example, the carsharing business model has improved drastically through the adoption of technologies for online booking, instant access, vehicle monitoring, and automated billing. However, the challenge of vehicle supply and demand management hinders carsharing from reaching its full potential and mainstream application. The current norm of relocating vehicles via employees is expensive and unsustainable, counteracting the environmental benefits of carsharing. To engage this problem, a new concept called user-based relocation has emerged in recent years. For user-based relocation, customers are requested to return rented vehicles at undersupplied locations. However, research and practice lack knowledge on how to implement user-based relocation in a real-world carsharing system. This study employs an iterative research approach, including the implementation of user-based relocation in a real-world carsharing system. During the development and evaluation process, novel requirements and challenges for user-based relocation were discovered, providing valuable knowledge for its implementation and future research.

Abstract Although most older adults live outside of care institutions, not all seniors choose to live in traditional family homes. Among those who relocate, some relocate too early while others are pre-frail or frail when they relocate. Social frailty – the interaction between social vulnerability and frailty – could contribute to these untimely relocations. The goal of this study was to inform the concept of social frailty by examining a population of semi-independent older adults who recently relocated to a continuum of care community. The objectives of this study were to: 1) understand the influence of the social determinants of health on the relocation process; 2) explore whether relocation increases or reduces social frailty; and 3) measure the level of post-relocation frailty in study participants. This mixed method study combined semi-structured interviews on the relocation process, the frailty identification tool PRISMA-7, and socio-demographic surveys. Twenty-nine recently relocated seniors were recruited with the assistance of a Citizens' Advisory Committee along with advertisements, presentations, information booths, and word of mouth. Qualitative descriptive thematic analysis and descriptive statistical analyses were used to examine the relationship between frailty, socio-demographic variables and relocation. Findings indicated that several social determinants contributed to frailty and that relocation into a continuum of care community could mitigate some aspects of social frailty. A conceptual framework on the influence of social frailty on relocation is discussed. More research is needed to inform the concept of social frailty and to better understand the impact of social factors on frailty.

Executive Summary In light of the science and evidence on hazards and climate risk, and the scale and breadth of large-scale disasters witnessed around the world, it is time for states and other actors to begin developing national and local frameworks on planned relocation. While planned relocations have had a poor record in terms of their socioeconomic effects, it is precisely for these reasons that proactive action is necessary. Planned relocation has the potential to save lives and assets, and consequently to safeguard or augment the human security of populations living in areas at high risk for disasters and the effects of climate change. Among the challenges hampering better outcomes for people, however, are the lack of national and local frameworks, community-driven decision making, and sufficient lead times to plan and implement appropriate interventions that promote human security. Relocation of populations is referenced in global frameworks on disaster risk reduction (DRR) and climate change adaptation (CCA) because it is a tool that will become increasingly important as a preventive and responsive measure to reduce the risks of disasters and displacement. This article recommends that national and local DRR and CCA strategies and development plans begin to incorporate planned relocation among the options under consideration to protect people and their human security. It argues that planning for relocations is an expression of a government’s responsibility to protect the human security of its people.

The research methodology used in this study combined quantitative and qualitative methods. Qualitative methods are used to explain the empirical facts that exist in each of these conditions in the relocation settlements. SWOT analysis is used to provide an overview of the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats in the relocation of victims of Merapi. Information, facts and issues that arise in the study will be described, explained and analyzed primarily for the impact of residential relocation on social and economic life of the community. Relocation concept of the economic aspects of community empowerment efforts should be made related to community economic recovery after a change in livelihood. In addition, the potential of community mapping needs to be done by the government to be optimized and developed. From the aspect of government settlements seek to transfer ownership of land in the new settlement which may be the property of the citizens so that citizens obtain legal certainty while occupying the new settlement. The social aspects of the development potential of relocating residents and making it as a tourist village, residents need to support that relocation is no longer a newcomer, they have the same rights and obligations with citizens of another.

Upscaling an operation typically results in economies of scale, i.e., cost advantages in business, especially when the production unit’s utilization rate can be improved. According to economic studies of mechanized timber harvesting, large wood harvesting entrepreneurs tend to be more successful in business than small entrepreneurs. What are the factors that influence harvesting costs, and how great is their effect on costs? These questions were investigated in mechanized cut-to-length timber harvesting in Eastern Finland by varying (a) the size of the harvesting fleet, (b) the harvesting site reserve, and (c) the timing and duration of the working day of machine relocations, in the case of an entrepreneur using a discrete-event simulation method. Prior to the simulations, harvesting site data were generated from the National Forest Inventory data by the MELA software, and the spatial data analyses by ArcGIS. According to the results, largely because of the low utilization rate of the contractor’s own relocation truck, the harvesting cost of a 2-harvesting-unit (2 HU) scenario was 9% or 6% higher than 4 HU, and 13% or 8% higher than 8 HU, with or without a specifically employed driver of a relocation truck, respectively (the harvesting unit consists of a harvester and a forwarder). In the 4 and 8 HU scenarios, harvesting costs decreased on average by 1% (0.3–1.5), when doubling the size of the harvesting site reserve. With fleet sizes of 6 and 8 HU, good utilization of a relocation truck reduced relocation costs, whereas machine costs only increased a small amount because of a longer machine relocation waiting time than with smaller entrepreneurs. The study raised the importance of entrepreneur-specific planning of machine relocations in the cost-efficient timber harvesting in Finland.

Objective. We use a case-crossover analysis to explore the association between incident cardiovascular events and residential relocation to a new home address.Methods. We conducted an ambidirectional case-crossover analysis to explore the association between incident cardiovascular events and residential relocation to a new address using data from the Cardiovascular Health Study (CHS), a community-based prospective cohort study of 5,888 older adults from four U.S. sites beginning in 1989. Relocation was assessed twice a year during follow-up. Event occurrences were classified as present or absent for the period preceding the first reported move, as compared with an equal length of time immediately prior to and following this period.Results. Older adults (65+) that experience incident cardiovascular disease had an increased probability of reporting a change of residence during the following year (OR 1.6, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.2–2.1). Clinical conditions associated with relocation included stroke (OR: 2.0, 95% CI: 1.2–3.3), angina (OR: 1.6, 95% CI: 1.0–2.6), and congestive heart failure (OR: 1.5, 95% CI: 1.0–2.1).Conclusions. Major incident cardiovascular disease may increase the probability of residential relocation in older adults. Case-crossover analyses represent an opportunity to investigate triggering events, but finer temporal resolution would be crucial for future research on residential relocations.

Full textAbstract:
This paper, written in 2021, explores how loss and grief is experienced through forced displacement and planned relocation in the Pacific and the subsequent implications that Pacific peoples have faced after being ‘removed’ from their homelands and ‘moved’ to a foreign land. The loss of ecological culture, cultural heritage, and generational trauma experienced by Pacific communities raises the question of whether planned relocation and displacement threatens their right to life with dignity. Drawing on the case of forced relocation of Banabans during colonial times and cases of recent climate-related relocation of communities in Fiji, this paper emphasizes the need to consider the psychosocial impacts on Pacific communities and cultures as well as the less tangible and immeasurable ramifications of being ‘uprooted’. These case studies can inform current dialogues and planning of contemporary and future relocations of Pacific communities by raising questions of sovereignty, sense of belonging and participation and identifying ways to uphold Pacific Island people’s right to life with dignity, irrespective of whether they decide to move or to stay.

Full textAbstract:
This Comment addresses whether Texas's relocation framework should include a presumption that relocation is not in the best interests of the child. After considering the policy in favor of "frequent and continuing contact," the pre-Lenz and post-Lenz holdings of the Texas courts of appeals, and the social science addressing the effects upon the child of a custodial parent's relocation, this Comment argues that the legislature should adopt such a presumption. Specifically, the legislature should adopt a presumption that requires the relocating party to prove that the relocation would be in the child's best interests, regardless of whether that party is the party seeking to be awarded the right to determine the child's primary residence in an original custody proceeding or a party seeking modification of an existing custody order. This Comment contends that such a presumption harmonizes the public policy in favor of "frequent and continuing contact" with a balancing test that allows a trial court to consider a number of factors when deciding a relocation case. Part II sets forth the current pertinent Texas public policies and statutes bearing upon the issue of custodial parent relocation. Part III of this Comment addresses the historical background of relocation litigation. Part IV analyzes both the pre-Lenz and post-Lenz hold ings of the Supreme Court of Texas and the Texas courts of appeals. Part V of this Comment presents the two competing views in social science that address the issue of relocation of the custodial parent and identifies certain elements of both in Texas public policies and statutes and in the relocation holdings of the Supreme Court of Texas and the Texas courts of appeals. Finally, Part VI of this Comment suggests that the Texas Legislature should adopt a rebuttable presumption that relocation is not in the best interests of the child and place the burden on the parent seeking to relocate to prove that the move would be in the child's best interests.

Full textAbstract:
The older adult population is exponentially increasing, and senior living communities are now the preferred lifestyle of the aging. Research finds that relocations for older adults can be extremely difficult. To inform how agencies can support a satisfactory transition for older adults, this study draws on survey data to explore factors affecting older adults' perceived satisfaction with relocating to or within a continuing care retirement community in Southern California. Results demonstrated that overall satisfaction with the transition process increased when older adults identified themselves as primary decision makers of the relocation and when they experienced a higher level of welcomeness at the facility. Results also displayed that residents identified staff visits as the most important support they received during their transition. Results address the Social Work Grand Challenge of Advancing Long and Productive Lives by informing agencies, educators, and practitioners about strategies to increase the well-being of transitioning older adults.
