Abstract:
At the beginning of the 21st century. the challenge of Mexican contemporary architecture is that it requires a different conceptualisation which is not reliant on Western design approaches. It is argued that the resources. values. capacities and priorities of the Global South are very different from those of . the developed Global North. and yet many of the concepts of architecture and sustainability have been uncritically taken from one context to another. The result is that issues of sustainability in the architecture of countries such as Mexico remain under-theorised. The context of scarcity -in natural. human and economic resources of the majority of the population. multicultural diversity. rapid growth and change. and 'chaotic' organisation highlights the very different conditions that exist in the Global South and which demand a new architectonic and urban development based on an alternative model of sustainable design. This thesis proposes that this tension should be addressed in a way that is relevant to these unique local conditions. By defining an Architecture of Scarcity. this thesis aims to develop a potential methodological approach that attempts to address economic. social. environmental and technical issues in a sustainable way based on the idea of scarcity. Architecture of Scarcity is defined as architecture created by the idea of not having sufficient resources to fulfil basic needs. In other words rather than consider architecture from the perspective of commodity and abundant control of resources to produce a 'perfect' product. the thesis recognises the value of the features of production of architecture in a condition of limited in resources and open to 'imperfection'. The thesis first investigates three typical conditions of scarcity production within the Mexican context: the Vernacular. Informal Modernism and Semi-Informal Modernism. In the section Issues of Scarcity it is considered the development of design principles suited to an alternative view of Sustainability which differs from Western concepts. Next these principles are amalgamated as a set of possible Design Tactics and tools to support a revised architectural design process and revised role for the architect. Finally the dynamic nature of the process is captured through the development of a speculative Architecture of Scarcity Game whose aim is to reveal and to make sense of rich possibilities inherent in this design method.

Abstract:
Resource scarcity poses challenging demands on the cognitive system. Budgeting with limited resources induces an attentional focus on the problem at hand, but it also comes with a cost. Specifically, scarcity causes a failure to notice beneficial information in the environment, or remember to execute actions in the future, that help alleviate the condition of scarcity. This neglect may arise as a result of attentional narrowing. Attentional trade-offs under scarcity can further determine memory encoding. In seven experiments, we demonstrated that participants under scarcity prioritized price information but neglected a useful discount when ordering food from a menu (Experiment 1); they showed better recall for information relevant to the focal task at a subsequent surprise memory test (Experiments 2 and 3); they performed more efficiently on the focal task but neglect a useful cue in the environment that could save them resources (Experiments 4-6); and they failed to remember the previous instructions to execute future actions that could save them resources (Experiment 7). These results collectively demonstrate that scarcity fundamentally shapes the way people process information in the environment, by directing attention to the most urgent task, while inducing a neglect of other information that can be beneficial. The attentional neglect and memory failures may lead to suboptimal behaviors that further aggravate the condition of scarcity. The results provide new insights on the behaviors of the poor, and also important implications for public policy and the design of welfare services and programs for low-income individuals.

Abstract:
Marketers often use scarcity to influence consumers, with announcements such as "limited quantities," "until stocks last," "few tickets left for this event," "limited time offer," or "24 hour sale." Past research indicates that scarcity often has a positive effect on product evaluation. In essay 1, I show that the positive effect of scarcity can be attenuated when consumers' persuasion knowledge is activated. Specifically, I identify four factors – salience of persuasion knowledge (study 1), frequency of exposure to scarcity (study 2), disconfirmation of scarcity (study 3), and decision reversibility (study 4) – that activate persuasion knowledge and hence moderate the effect of scarcity on product evaluation. I also show that these effects are mediated by inferences about falsity of the scarcity claim. In summary, my results suggest that scarcity claims benefit products only when persuasion knowledge is not salient, frequency of exposure to scarcity is low, disconfirmation of scarcity is absent, or decision reversibility is high. In essay 2, I build on reactance theory to argue that scarcity can reduce consumers' perceived flexibility and hence create feelings of inconvenience. Based on this argument, I show that the positive effect of scarcity on product evaluation is moderated by time pressure (study 1), time precision (study 2), store flexibility (study 3), and incentive flexibility (study 4). I also show that these moderating effects are driven by perceived inconvenience associated with scarcity. In summary, my results suggest that scarcity claims benefit products only when time pressure is low, time precision is low, store flexibility is high, or incentive flexibility is high.
Les marketeurs utilisent souvent la rareté pour influencer les consommateurs, avec des annonces du type « quantités limitées, » « jusqu'à épuisement des stocks, » « seulement quelques billets restant pour cet événement, » « offre à durée limitée, » ou « vente 24 heures. » Des recherches précédentes indiquent que la rareté a souvent un effet positif sur l'évaluation de produit. Dans l'essai 1, je démontre que l'effet positif de la rareté peut être atténué quand les connaissances des consommateurs relatives aux techniques de persuasion sont activées. Plus spécifiquement, j'identifie quatre facteurs – la saillance des connaissances relatives aux techniques de persuasion (étude 1), la fréquence d'exposition à la rareté (étude 2), la réfutation de la rareté (étude 3), et la réversibilité de la décision (étude 4) – qui activent les connaissances relatives aux techniques de persuasion et qui modèrent donc l'effet de la rareté sur l'évaluation de produit. Je démontre également que ces effets sont médiés par les inférences faites par les consommateurs quand à la véracité de l'affirmation de rareté. En résumé, mes résultats suggèrent que les affirmations de rareté sont profitables pour un produit uniquement lorsque les connaissances relatives aux techniques de persuasion ne sont pas saillantes, la fréquence d'exposition à la rareté est faible, la réfutation de la rareté est absente, et la réversibilité de la décision est élevée. Dans l'essai 2, je me base sur la théorie de la réactance pour affirmer que la rareté peut réduire la flexibilité perçue par les consommateurs et donc créer un sentiment de désagrément. En me basant sur cette affirmation, je démontre que l'effet positif de la rareté sur l'évaluation de produit est modéré par une contrainte temporelle (étude 1), une précision temporelle (étude 2), la flexibilité du magasin (étude 3), et la flexibilité des incitatifs (étude 4). Je démontre également que ces effets modérateurs sont occasionnés par la perception de désagrément qui est associée à la rareté. En résumé, mes résultats suggèrent que les affirmations de rareté sont profitable pour un produits uniquement lorsque la contrainte temporelle est faible, la précision temporelle est faible, la flexibilité du magasin est élevée, ou la flexibilité des incitatifs est élevée.

Abstract:
In the first chapter, I consider the institutional structures as well as the doctrines typically encountered in the surface water sector. To investigate the sources and methods of government support in the water sector, I categorize different sorts of government support according to the location of water along the water cycle. I conclude the section with examples of observed water markets. In the second chapter, I consider the problem of water usage, developing a model to analyze the optimal pricing of water within a second-best economy. As a water supplier, the local government may price discriminate across consumers and farmers. I introduce the second-best pricing scheme, derive conditions for the marginal-cost pricing and inverse-elasticity rules, and analyze when the government optimally deviates from these two pricing schemes. In the third chapter, I provide an analysis of the data I collected from Turkey. First, I examine the data on reservoir flows, including service share and fixed costs of the reservoirs. Then, I provide details about the relationship between the quantity and price of irrigation and of tap water. Finally, in the fourth chapter, I apply the theoretical framework to the data from Turkey. In Turkey, the current water-pricing policy is dictated by the sole objective of breaking-even in each period. This results in large withdrawals, which is not sustainable in the long-run, hence not optimal. I analyze the dynamic optimal water resource management problem of a benevolent government. I compare the implications of the current and the optimal pricing policies.

Abstract:
The thesis explores links between resources and conflict in contemporary Somalia. The central research questions were: Why did a society which is believed to be resilient and adaptive to its harsh environment become vulnerable? To what extent did environmental factors contribute to the emergence of conflict? How can natural resource scarcity and abundance be related to the existence of, or potential for, violent conflict, bearing in mind the historical, political, economic and cultural context of conflict? Can other determining factors such as power-relations, access to trade, or clan affiliation be linked to lower economic, institutional, and social performance and associated with higher levels of violent conflict? If a link can be made, this will help to forecast where conflict might take place. Because Somalia is largely an arid country, highly susceptible to natural disasters, and because its people have been victims of severe famine in recent decades, my starting point for this research was to investigate literature on the supposed environmental causes of conflict. Analysis of the literature which links environmental degradation and scarcity to state-collapse or civil war suggested, however, that such linkages are problematic. I argue instead that people engage in violent conflict in Somalia because they struggle to establish control over valuable resources. These resources are likely to be renewables, such as cash crops in the form of plantations in riverine areas, cereals in the Bay region, and charcoal in the coastal region of Brawa. Conflict arose over the struggle to monopolise these resources, and over the distribution of profits. Clan leaders sought to expand a source of 'tax' revenue by controlling trade networks, seaports and airports. This general approach may explain why southern Somalia has experienced continuous insecurity over the past decade.

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: South Africa has a mean annual precipitation far lower than the global average. This is a fundamental constraint to development, especially when the country has already run out of surplus water and dilution capacity. To add further pressure, Southern Africa’s water resources are expected to decrease as a result of climate change. Despite the potential devastation, the country’s response to climate change has been limited. South Africa’s energy sector is dominated by coal power stations and is the country’s primary emitter of carbon dioxide. Given the significantly higher water usage of coal-fired power plants compared to that of most renewable energy power plants, the transition to a clean energy infrastructure might be more successfully motivated by water scarcity than by the promise of reduced carbon emissions. This article analyses more critically the impact of coal-fired electricity generation on South Africa’s water resources, by estimating a water-use figure that extends backwards from the power plant to include water used during extraction of the coal. This figure can then be compared to the water usage of alternative electricity generation options. It is then possible to estimate how much water could be saved by substituting these alternatives in place of additional coal-fired plants.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Suid-Afrika se gemiddelde jaarlikse neerslag is baie laer as die wêreldwye gemiddelde. Dit plaas ’n wesenlike beperking op ontwikkeling, veral aangesien die land se surplus water- en verdunningskapasiteit reeds uitgeput is. Om die saak verder te vererger, word verwag dat Suidelike Afrika se waterbronne gaan kleiner word as gevolg van klimaatsverandering. Ten spyte van die potensiële ramp, was die land se reaksie op klimaatsverandering tot dusver baie beperk. Steenkoolkragstasies, wat Suid-Afrika se energiesektor oorheers, is die land se primêre bron van koolstofdioksieduitlating. Gegewe die beduidend hoër waterverbruik van steenkoolkragstasies teenoor dié van die meeste kragstasies wat met hernubare energie werk, kan die verandering na ’n skoonenergie-infrastruktuur meer suksesvol gemotiveer word deur waterskaarste as deur die belofte van verminderde koolstofuitlatings. Hierdie artikel analiseer die impak van steenkoolgedrewe elektrisiteitsopwekking op Suid-Afrika se waterbronne meer krities deur te beraam hoeveel water verbruik word van die kragstasie terug tot by die ontginning van die steenkool. Hierdie syfer kan dan vergelyk word met die waterverbruik van alternatiewe kragopwekkingsopsies. Dit is dan moontlik om te beraam hoeveel water gespaar kan word deur hierdie alternatiewe op te rig in plaas van bykomende steenkoolkragstasies.

Abstract:
In developing countries, farmers are dealing with climatic changes by adapting their agricultural practices. Little work has investigated the direct impact of structural variables (e.g., central vs. local management of irrigation water, location of village), psychological variables (e.g., risk perceptions, self-efficacy), and adaptation on crop yield. We tested a psychology-based model that focused on risk perceptions and efficacy beliefs by longitudinally surveying 278 Sri Lankan rice farmers. We assessed risk perceptions and efficacy beliefs before the major paddy-growing season and measured whether farmers performed adaptations as well as their paddy yield/acre after the season. The model significantly predicted more than 25% of the variance in crop yield, with increased yields associated with centrally managed irrigation resources and with farmers low in perceived climate risk at the start of the growing season. Findings support the notion that while psychological factors are important, structural variables are the most important predictors of farm productivity in times of uncertain water supply.

Abstract:
Using the connection between water and energy as a case study, we present a model that uses the effects of geospatial and temporal context on embedded energy to approximate resource sustainability for water. First, the basic steps of calculating the energy intensity for a given location are discussed. Intensity is presented in units of energy per volume of water. In the case of supplying fresh water, energy intensity depends upon the quality of the original resource, its location relative to the end use location, and the type of technology in use to move and treat the water. Pumping, and conveyance, purification, distribution, wastewater treatment, and system inefficiencies (e.g. evaporative losses, leaks) increase the total energy investment, while water recycling decreases the total investment. Lift and purification are typically the greatest contributors to the overall energy intensity of a fresh water supply, but system inefficiencies can have a substantial impact as well. Over time, growing cities tend to progress from using their least energy intensive water resources (e.g. untreated surface water) to their most energy intensive (e.g. long distance transfers, desalinated water lifted to high elevations) as water demands begin to outstrip supplies. As a function of water availability, we assign each location an intensity value that approaches the intensity of its next “best” (i.e., least energy intensive) source of water. Hence, an area which is depleting its available surface and groundwater may have desalinated surface or groundwater as its next (and last) resort. The area would be characterized as undergoing water stress, and relatively less sustainable than areas which use their local fresh water supplies with no perceivable negative impact. An operating principle of this research is that with enough energy, it is possible to supply any location with fresh water. Desalinated ocean water, moved over long distances and lifted to great heights represents that upper limit. Working backwards from this extreme scenario, it is possible to not only move away from the paradigm of unitless or vague sustainability indices, but to quantify resource scarcity in a way that is both intuitive and actionable. The model is also self-correcting: areas may reduce the energy intensity of a sustainable water supply through better management of existing fresh water resources or through technological innovations that produce fresh water from degraded sources in an energy efficient manner. A major conclusion of this research is that the amount of energy necessary to maintain a reliable supply of fresh water greatly varies by location and technology choice. Further, many areas of the country overuse their local fresh water sources. To create a durable water supply, such areas can 1) reduce their use of local fresh water to sustainable levels and invest in alternative water sources—at a high financial and energy cost, or 2) aggressively pursue water efficiency measures so that they can both reduce their reliance on local fresh water sources and avoid the high costs associated with alternative water supplies. Additionally, by converting water use to energy consumption as a function of scarcity, it is possible to weigh the relative importance of water use efficiency to conservation in other areas (e.g. electricity, direct heating, waste disposal).
