Full textAcross the globe, land reform has become a key strategy for improving people’s livelihoods aimed at reducing poverty and increasing food security for resilient livelihoods. In sub-Saharan Africa, redistributive land reform has been implemented since the post-colonial period as a developmental approach. Since independence, Zimbabwe implemented two forms of land reform programmes which are the Land Reform and Resettlement Programme (LRRP) (1980-1997) and the Fast Track Land Reform Programme (FTLRP) (2000). The LRRP was based on the willing buyer willing seller approach with the state buying land for redistribution, while the FTLRP emerged from the chaotic and sporadic invasion of white owned commercial farms led by liberation war veterans and other politically affiliated people. In this thesis, I will focus on the LRRP which provided small farming land to many beneficiaries to ensure sustainable livelihoods. Land is an important livelihood source for the people of Zimbabwe, but on its own it cannot sustain the living standards of resettled farmers. Contemporary literature shows the catastrophic failure of land reform in Zimbabwe. Despite all the problems, land still remains the spring board of livelihoods in Zimbabwe. There is, however, less empirical research undertaken to assess how the LRRP has benefited and enhanced livelihoods of resettled farmers. This research will assess how the LRRP improved the livelihoods of Nyahukwe resettled farmers in Rusape, Zimbabwe. The study’s investigation will focus and add literature on how LRRP has been successful in empowering resettled farmers to enhance their livelihoods, to be more food secure as well as to improve their well-being. Using qualitative research methods, the research aimed to assess the livelihoods of farmers since they resettled. In particular, assessing the assets and capital available and how the farmers have been able to cope, strategies implemented to diversify their livelihoods and the outcomes achieved. The Sustainable livelihoods approach (SLA) was used as a theoretical framework to assess the new livelihoods patterns established after resettlement. Purposive non-random sampling was employed to interview 3 Nyahukwe government officials such as the extension managers, Environmental health officer and Veterinary officer. Semi-structured interviews were used to collect data from 30 participants from Village F. A focus group 10 - 15 purposefully selected farmers was conducted. Data analysis was performed on the narrative and information from interviews, focus groups and questionnaires conducted during data collection. The findings show that land reform has enhanced the livelihoods of farmers since they were resettled as they reckon food selfsufficiency and better well-being. The research findings also illustrate that land remain the livelihood base of Nyahukwe farmers although they have adopted coping strategies to expand income generation. Coping strategies are farm and off farm activities that have diversified the farmers’ livelihoods through the interaction of assets. Land as a natural asset has been used with human, physical, financial and social capital to sustain the farmers. The findings revealed positive livelihood outcomes by assessing the assets before and after resettlement and outcomes achieved after adopting strategies as all farmers have increased income, self-sufficiency and improved well-being.

Full textAn exploratory, action research approach was used with adult Karen-Refugees (n = 26) separated by sex (male/female) in focus group sessions. The aim of the study was to explore a cultural-, context-specific definition of resilience and the factors that may contribute to resilience in resettlement using an ecological framework. In vivo coding techniques were used resulting in several themes. Results suggested a definition of resilience that encompassed a sense of gratitude, positive outlook, and resourcefulness; demonstrating a strong work ethic and perseverance, and moving towards a sense of community and belonging. Factors contributing to resilience in resettlement include language and availability of resources, the importance and value of education, the availability of other resources in the community (e.g., employment), a supportive civil society, special care for the elderly, and opportunities for the exhibition of cultural- pride, and preservation, which lead to a sense of community and belonging. Implications for prevention and intervention services are discussed along with contributions to literature pertaining to international psychology, resilience, and refugee research.

Full textEsta dissertação propõe uma metodologia para avaliação metrológica de características do termistor PTC polimérico regenerativo LP60-110 usado como protetor contra sobrecorrente e sobre temperatura. Expressa a determinação da incerteza de medição dos parâmetros temperatura, tensão, corrente elétrica e resistência ôhmica de amostras do dispositivo. O termistor PTC (Positive Temperature Coefficient) polimérico regenerativo surgiu na década de noventa, como um elemento de proteção muito importante em função de suas características especiais. Pode ser usado como protetor de sobrecorrente e sobre temperatura, partida de motores, compensação de temperatura e em circuitos em geral. Para realização da pesquisa foi montado um circuito constituído de um cronômetro, dois multímetros, uma fonte de alimentação estável, uma carga resistiva variável colocada em série com o dispositivo termistor PTC polimérico regenerativo LP60-110 e este foi colocado em uma estufa térmica a seco com um termopar tipo K, o que permitiu controlar sua temperatura. Este circuito possibilitou estabelecer de forma simples uma corrente de limiar do termistor PTC circulando pela malha, tornando este sensível apenas à variação da temperatura. Os dados registrados foram suficientes para construção de curvas características e análise para determinação da Incerteza de medição. Devido ao fato de não existirem muitas informações sobre o sensor no mercado, a contribuição principal deste trabalho é a sistematização do levantamento das características do termistor para a verificação da confiabilidade dos dados do fabricante, juntamente com sua incerteza, fornecendo ao mesmo tempo informações ainda não disponíveis ao projetista de sistemas de proteção.
This research aims at the development of a methodology for experimentally characterizing a PTC polymeric resettable thermistor LP60-110, used as an overcurrent and over temperature protection device. Uncertainty of measurement of the parameters, such as temperature, voltage, current and ohmic resistance is also determined. The PTC (Positive Temperature Coefficient) polymeric resettable thermistor started to be used in the 90`s, as a very important protection device because of its special characteristics. It can be used as an over current and over temperature protection device in electronic circuits, for engine start-up and as a temperature compensation device. An electric circuit was built to measure the thermistor characteristics, consisting of an stable voltage source and a variable resistance in series with the thermistor, which was place in a dry oven. A K type thermocouple was attached to it, so that its temperature could be measured and controlled. A chronometer and two multimeters were used as measuring instruments. By gradually decreasing the circulating current through the circuit, the Joule effect could be neglected, and the thermistor resitance was made only a function of ambient temperature, which is easier to measured. The acquired data were used to build several characteristics curves, which were analyzed and compared to the available ones from the manufacturers. Due to the fact that there are not many available information about the sensor in the market, the main contribution of this work is the development of a systematic procedure to obtain the thermistor performance data, so that the manufacturer data can be verified, together with its uncertainty, providing at the same time information not presently available in the market for system designers.

ABSTRACT The objective of this work is to understand the process of deterritorialization and reterritorialization of "affected" by the hydroelectric installation Irap? located in the Jequitinhonha River. The installation of a large-scale works such as Irap?, considered one of the largest hydroelectric dams in Brazil, covers an area of great proportion and promoted the displacement of many families, mostly composed of peasants. Thus, many people were relocated elsewhere. Wanted then how to analyze the "hit" by Irap? and resettled in Alto Jequitinhonha establish new relations with the territory and recreate a sense of belonging in that territory. This analysis is thus directed to the actions and practices created by resettled in the new place they are in. The findings of this work show that changes occurred in the affected livelihoods caused by the installation of the dam and that the sociocultural processes of resettled will not be played again in the current territory in which they are.

The Taipei Resettled Tenement Communities were formed in the early years followed by the ROC Government retreated to Taiwan from mainland China. Due to the development of public facilities, the government settled down local residents in the Resettled Tenement. There are over ten thousand families live in 23 Taipei City Resettled Tenement Communities. Renewal and /or reconstruction are urgent needed in these communities nowadays. In resent years only one community ( Shui Yuan Resettled Tenement - Lin Kou Community ) is renovated ( by community exertion ) due to MRT catastrophe. Other renewal projects are stalled mostly by lacking of - sufficient mechanism, unified recognition and private construction company involvement. “The Urban Renewal Act” was promulgated on September 11 1998, related laws have been passed by both Central and Taipei City Goverments, with main focuses on improving housing quality and encouraging private sector participation in urban renewal, giving a lawful new niche for the renewal projects of Resettled Tenement. This study reviews the history of the Taipei City Resettled Tenement and the evolution process of the Urban Renewal Act and explores samples of existing urban renewal projects in Taipei City. Key factors may contribute to a successful and executable urban renewal project are then analyzed. Citing the South Airport Resettled Tenement ( Chong Ching Community ) as an example, we research the physical and non-physical environments of the community and perform a realistic case study of the latest progress of the urban renewal project in the sample community. We also interview the residents, the authorities, the financial institutes and the planners to get opinions on various issues. This study tries to pinpoint the major subjects to be studied - the property rights, the development rights, source of funds, the implementers, common consensus and the relocation of the inferior party. Furthermore, we research problems to be solved and draw up strategies in order to sort out renewal and reconstruction topics, strategies and suggestions for the community. The conclusion of this study is to serve as a reference for future urban renewal projects and research of Resettled Tenement.

The phenomenon of migration to cities is one of the features of the third world countries in the process of development. According to the precious studies on migration to cites in Taiwan, there are some imparity phenomenon distributing in poor or middle-lower level residential areas, but the experiences of female migrations are ignored. This study chose the resettled tenement in Nan Ji Chang Area in Taipei to be the study object, in which the researcher investigates the history of female migrations to cities, social context and the historical context of formation of the resettled tenement, and how sex influences employment, economics and the living networks in the area. Geography, when dealing with the individuals and social space issues, is mainly based on the structural theory that is added to the theory of time geography. Experts who study time geography think time and space bring about simultaneous incidents, which emphasize the continuity and interconnection of the time sequence that happens within time and space boundary. That the intertwining of the reproduction of a place’s social and cultural forms, the formations of an individual’s socialization and personal history, and the changing of landscapes constitutes, social-space structure of regional level that is connected to both the past and present. The study found that the female migrants of resettled tenement, although coming to the Nan Ji Chang Area through different routs, have long stayed in inferior positions. Because females from the countryside have no access to personal space under the dominancy of patriarchal system, the conditions of poverty worsen the discrepancy between the sexes. When entering cities from traditional countryside, female individuals have the same social life as they had when they lived in the countryside because of the discrepancy on hierarchy and sexes. They usually cluster in the poorest neighborhoods, and, due to the influences of female life cycle, their lives are closely tied to where they live. Females support their families by doing temporary and unfixed informal economical. The limitations of the gender and hierarchy are reflected in their daily life’s social, living and economic networks. The limitations deepen the ties between the local females and the poor areas they live, and are unveiled within the local females’ time-space routes. However, the research observes local females’ optimistically changing their own living status and participating in community activities, which implies the local females’ dynamics of changing their own situations.

A Tuned Mass Damper (TMD) system consists of an added mass with properly functioning spring and damping elements that provide frequency-dependent damping in a primary structure. By attaching a TMD to a structure, vibration energy of the structure can be transferred to the TMD and dissipated via the damping mechanism in the TMD. Although the design and application of traditional linear TMD systems are well developed, nonlinear TMD systems that may lead to better control performance are still in the developmental stage. There are two main problems associated with TMD systems, i.e. (1) detuning effect, (2) excessive stroke of TMD. In order to improve the performance of TMD systems, a novel semi-active TMD named resettable variable stiffness TMD (RVS-TMD) is proposed in this study. The RVS-TMD consists of a TMD and a resettable variable stiffness device (RVSD). The RVSD composed of a resettable element and a controllable stiffness element. By varying the stiffness element of the RVSD, the force produced by the RVSD can be controlled smoothly through a semi-active control law. By resetting the resettable element, the hysteresis loop of the RVSD can cover all four quadrants in the force-deformation diagram and thus results in more energy dissipation. In this study, RVS-TMD system is compared with different types of TMD systems by numerical method. The results show that the control performance of RVS-TMD system can be very close to those of active TMD, and is able to alleviate detuning effect and reduce TMD’s stroke.

Abstract Today, our environment of global warming phenomenon is becoming serious, and the rate of disaster is increasing day by day. However, it became to an important issue in many affected residential area, and people’s psychological and physiological were influenced when they suddenly suffered from a disaster. At first the most important thing is to solve the physiological issue, and also it is part of placement to find the aid. Furthermore, for the psychological reaction it takes long time to adjust and release from the deeply heart, and then normally victims are placed at activity hall of the local middle school or the elementary school, right away. Finally, the government or some organizations will carry out and arrange for helping the victims, so they will build the house and estimate how long they will stay to pass by months. In this situation the victims are living in open area, so the quality of residential and the emotion of the suffering often make people double damage. Nowadays, for the situation of Taiwan people from many passed issues, the government always delayed to reconstruct the home slowly to the people, who suffered from the disaster, and the system of the placement and reconstruction are in unclear condition. Moreover, the final decisions were moving to the place, which the government think, is safety. When people were force to move to other strange area, it often happened that people resist from the placement, so all of the sudden they lost control.The patterns of relief should be “settled in the right place,” the disaster management extended an ironic saying, “rescue slow, and move quickly;” it means the aid from the government was really slow, and made a bad policy of moving away from people’s home. However, it was useless and causing a lot of problem; people made conflicts, or the property was deprived…etc. This study is focusing on how to solve the problem and using the investigation, interview, and survey to figure out how important and satisfaction for the living environment to the victims. To find the attribute factors and the impact factors of the evaluation factors, and then to take the attribute factors trying to use some perspective to figure out the advantage or disadvantage, economic, emotion, culture, lifestyle, and space. Furthermore, this study analyzes the relevant in these factors, and find out the integrative issues of suffering and the placement after affected from disaster. And also review the causes, which did not fit on people’s requirement, and formulate to each different cases. The result of study puts forward many elements and processes the factors of future planning for the situation of the adaptation, the placement and also the environment requirement, to provide the suggestion of study in the future.
