Full textDecisions on settlement location in the face of climate change and coastal inundation may have resulted in success, survival or even catastrophic failure for early settlers in many parts of the world. In this study, we investigate various questions related to how individuals respond to a palaeoenvironmental simulation, on an interactive tabletop device where participants have the opportunity to build a settlement on a coastal landscape, balancing safety, and access to resources, including sea and terrestrial foodstuffs, while taking into consideration the threat of rising sea levels. The results of the study were analyzed to consider whether decisions on settlement were predicated to be near to locations where previous structures were located, stigmergically, and whether later settler choice would fare better, and score higher, as time progressed. The proximity of settlements was investigated and the reasons for clustering were considered. The interactive simulation was exhibited to thousands of visitors at the 2012 Royal Society Summer Science Exhibition at the “Europe's Lost World” exhibit. 347 participants contributed to the simulation, providing a sufficiently large sample of data for analysis.
Doro, Thanduxolo Lawrence. "Rationale for choice of fuel use by poor communities: a study of Ramaphosa Informal Settlement." Thesis, 2016. http://hdl.handle.net/10539/22594.
Full textThis study examines use of different energy sources by a poor community of the Ramaphosa Informal Settlement in Gauteng Province, South Africa. The purpose of this study was to investigate the reasons behind continued use of biomass fuel (plant or animal material, wood, charcoal) for cooking and space heating by poor residents. The research questions are: What informs the informal settlement residents’ use of certain energy sources for cooking and heating over other types? Where residents possess knowledge of the harmful effects of continued use of an energy source, yet continue to use it, what are the reasons for this? Whose responsibility does it become to collect a chosen energy source, and how is it collected? The consequences of indoor air pollution vary from short-term – eye and throat irritation – to long-term effects – respiratory disease and cancer. Exposure to high levels of some pollutants, such as carbon monoxide, can even result in immediate death. An exploratory empirical research was performed using mixed qualitative and quantitative methods using data on time-activity patterns collected from eleven households by means of semi-structured interviews, observations, focus group discussions and expert interviews. The results show that the respondents in the researched areas of Reserve and Extension two in Ramaphosa Informal Settlement use a total of thirteen different energy sources to meet their fuel needs. Although possessing the necessary knowledge on negative effects of indoor air pollution, the respondents lack sufficient resources to make decisions that would help improve their conditions regarding effects of air pollution. In thirty of the fifty respondents women and girls collect fuel and only in the remaining twenty wherein electricity, paraffin and liquid petroleum gas (LPG) are used, do men and boys become responsible for fuel collection. In the absence of electricity, respondents reported preferences for LPG, however, the prohibitive costs of the capital outlay of the latter energy source makes it unaffordable to more than half of the respondents. The major finding in this report is that whilst some of the respondents think that electricity remains a key barrier to improving their socio-economic development and well-being, twenty of the fifty respondents who exclusively rely on government grants do not think so. Electricity, although an absolute necessity in the researched areas, is not a sufficient condition for avoidance of effects of indoor air pollution for the poor communities. This was demonstrated by the five respondents who have electricity but alternate its use with coal and firewood. The high cost of electricity means that poorer communities will continue to rely on the less expensive bio-mass fuel – risking their lives in the process – even when electricity is available. Respondents reported difficult conditions under which they live which are shaped by broader sets of unresolved structural aspects in the form of economics, social policies, and politics.

“Should I work in China?” This research explores the willingness of Taiwan youth to mainland China on issues of exchange study, employment, startup business and settlement. The survey was conducted among eight colleges in Taiwan and questionnaires were included four parts: (1) willingness of exchange study in China; (2) get job in China; (3) startup own business in China; (4) settle in the China After a descriptive statistical analysis of 1011 valid samples, the study found that: (1) Taiwan youths prefer to do the cross-strait exchanges by traveling and hope to learn the advantages of each other and establish the friendship. Only 9.6% of people are unwilling to do the cross-strait exchanges because of economic pressures; (2) About half of the students are willing to work in China due to not only the rapid growth and higher wages in China, but also the low salary in Taiwan. Only 15.5% of people do not want to work in China due to the personal and property security; (3) Due to the enhancement of the international influence and tremendous market growth in China, 33.4% of youths would like to start a business in China. However, the problems of personal and property safety and entrepreneurial risk cause 14.9% of people are unwilling; (4) Due to factors of diet, climate, environment, economic pressure, career development, only 18.4% of people would like to live in China. Finally, we made recommendations on Taiwan youths, cross-strait governments for future references which help the future cross-strait exchanges of higher education, and assist youth in innovation and entrepreneurship, also the development of straits business.
