Full textAbstract:
Recent developments around the sharing economy bring to the fore questions of governability and broader societal Benefit-and subsequently the need to explore effective means of public governance, from nurturing, on the one hand, to restriction, on the other. As sharing is a predominately urban phenomenon in modern societies, cities around the globe have become both locus of action and central actor in the debates over the nature and organization of the sharing economy. However, cities vary substantially in the interpretation of potential opportunities and challenges, as well as in their governance responses. Building on a qualitative comparative analysis of 16 leading global cities, our findings reveal four framings of the sharing economy: "societal endangerment","societal enhancement", "market disruption", and "ecological Transition". Such framings go hand in hand with patterned governance responses: although there is considerable heterogeneity in the combination of public governance strategies, we find specific configurations of framings and public governance strategies. Our work reflects the political and ethical debates on various economic, social, and moral issues related to the sharing economy, and contrib-utes to a better understanding of the field-level institutional Arrangements-a prerequisite for examining moral behavior of sharing economy organizations.

Full textAbstract:
The dissertation describes and investigates the collaborative practices and the governance model adopted by cities that choose the sharing and collaborative economy as frontier of experimentation to try to solve some of the main urban challenges in economic, environmental and social terms. The widespread dissemination of ICTs, among the other effects, is generating solutions more open, transparent and participatory, based on sharing and collaboration and voted to savings, money redistribution and socialization. More and more cities are wondering about the potential of the emerging new service models, reflecting on their organizational and cultural weight and on how to integrate them into existing regulatory frameworks without limit or stifle their development.
The work starts from an in-depth analysis of the concept of sharing economy, given its innovative nature that makes difficult to find a clearly, established and shared definition. The research highlights its benefits, potentialities, weaknesses and limits trying to offer a better understanding of the phenomenon and an overview of its intrinsic features, what, who and how to share in the city. The second part is dedicated to the analysis of the city context that is better able to embrace this type of alternative economy. The focus is on the smart and slow nature of the so-called sharing cities, on its governance model and on the role of the public administrations, extensively discussed. The third part presents two cases of cities that in a well-shaped way are supporting sharing economy services and platforms and are promoting themselves as sharing cities: Milan in Italy and Seoul in South Korea. These cities adopted two different approaches: in Milan the reflection has emerged spontaneously from the bottom and has found in the public administration an attentive listener and a strong supporter; in Seoul the initial push came from the Mayor and his administration, that launched a wave of innovation that is generating a real ecosystem of sharing. Even if the city are different for culture, features and dimensions, the same rhetoric, labels, epistemic communities and strategies can be detected.
The research was conducted adopting specific methodological tools: the analysis of the institutional and scientific materials and of other sources on the topic; the adoption of the participant observation’s approach in the study contexts; the administration of a questionnaire and the tool of the semi-structure interview to the key players of ‘Milan Sharing City’ and ‘Sharing City Seoul’. All these elements allowed retracing the origin of the process, its general framework, current outcomes and future possibilities.
The dissertation aims to reconstruct the phenomenon in its constituent factors, given its recent insurgence, the momentum that is gaining and the lack of a mature scientific reflection on the topic. The ICTs penetration, the civil society engagement, the openness of the government, together with the emphasis on social innovation and the growing attention for the social economy, seem to be key ingredients to build a collaborative and sharing city. Local solutions adopted in the two cases study show the importance of the above ingredients and the absence of a “one-fit-all” solution. Instead, it is possible to build customized solutions, starting from the key ingredients, because the phenomenon allows to renegotiate with the local communities alternative governance practices more suitable for the context, and overcome established practices but less efficient.

Full textAbstract:
We have a problem, which is that we as a society are simply consuming too much. We have modified an economic system that tends to define modernity and development as a linear process. A system in which consumption is of profound importance. However, by bringing in alternative and new ideas of how to manage our economic assets, a transformation might be feasible. There are several forms of alternative economies that redefine the role of the consumer and that all share a common goal of seeking a more sustainable approach when dealing with economic issues. The Sharing economy is based on a comprehensive concept where, instead of promoting private ownership, it is better and more sustainable to share, swap and lend, which in turn gives people access to goods and services. Also, this idea is used to reduce the ecological footprint of hyper-consumption which pressures the global climate. If we are trying to design sustainable cities and if we seek to reduce consumption, adapting sharing economy in urban planning might be part of the solution.

Aquesta tesi doctoral es centra en l'estudi interdisciplinari del concepte de sharing city (SC). L'objectiu general va ser explorar des de la gestió, els imaginaris que es creen en la SC a partir de les seves pràctiques urbanes i narratives socials.
La tesi és un compendi de publicacions. La primera és una revisió sistemàtica de literatura sobre el concepte SC. Un valor important afegit d'aquest article és que es tracta del primer estudi acadèmic que examina i sistematitza les pràctiques del compartir a la SC. Els resultats consoliden la relació entre l'etiqueta sharing city i com utilitza estratègies de place branding i place management per consolidar la seva representació.
La segona publicació s'enfoca en la implementació de la SC per l'actor institucional. Mitjançant el frame analysis es va explorar la comunicació estratègica de Barcelona com una SC. Els resultats demostren que el govern local acompanya el creixement urbà des d'una perspectiva social, fomenta narratives per identificar i incloure a més actors dins del procés, i transmet els valors del compartir de forma positiva.
La tercera publicació tracta els espais de cotreball a la SC. L'estudi es va realitzar en oficines de Barcelona i Berlín, seguint el mètode de Teoria Fonamentada (Grounded Theory). Els resultats van identificar que es dissenyen atmosferes de lloc (place atmospheres) per promoure el compartir, el compromís dels membres amb l'espai / comunitat, i que la cultura de compartir es reforça amb eines de comunicació corporativa.
Aquesta tesi contribueix a la discussió sobre la SC com una etiqueta emergent que enfoca idees i valors comunitaris. A més, situa l'atenció en pràctiques urbanes i narratives socials que promouen la relació permanent entre actors de la ciutat, així com la recerca de consens ciutadà.<br>Esta tesis doctoral se centra en el estudio interdisciplinar del concepto de sharing city (SC).

The general objective was to explore from management, the imaginaries that are created in SC from its urban practices and social narratives.
The thesis is a compendium of publications. The first is a systematic literature review on the SC concept. An important added value of this article is that it is the first academic study that examines and systematizes the practices of sharing in SC. The results strengthen the relationship between the sharing city label and how it uses place branding and place management strategies to consolidate its representation.
The second publication focuses on the implementation of the SC by the institutional actor. Through the frame analysis, the strategic communication of Barcelona as a SC was explored. The results show that the local government accompanies urban growth from a social perspective, fosters narratives to identify and include more actors in the process, and transmits the values of sharing in a positive way.
The third publication deals with coworking spaces in SC. The study was carried out in offices in Barcelona and Berlin, following the Grounded Theory method. The results revealed that atmospheres of place are designed to promote sharing, the commitment of members with the space/community, and that the culture of sharing is reinforced with corporate communication tools.
This thesis contributes to the discussion about SC as an emerging label that focuses on community ideas and values. In addition, it places attention on urban practices and social narratives that promote the permanent relationship between city actors, as well as the search for citizen consensus.

Full textAbstract:
This study examines how borders are socially produced and deconstructed in “post-conflict” North Belfast. Twenty years after the signing of the historic Good Friday Agreement in Northern Ireland, a peace model lauded for the resolution of conflicts worldwide, Belfast today remains a highly divided city with the existence of numerous segregation barriers, among them so-called peace walls, physically separating Protestant from Catholic neighbourhoods. Indicating a failure to achieve social accommodation, this thesis seeks to examine how people in North Belfast understand, negotiate, and experience space and borders around them. In particular, it illuminates the processes and agents involved in modifying and transforming borders, as well as the resistance engendered in doing so amidst considerable intra-community debate and competition over place identities and their attendant narratives. Placed firmly within the anthropological study of borders and space, it shows how borders and their regimes are socially constructed and should be understood as practices and imaginations rather than simply as inert objects which render individuals as passive “victims” of their urban environs. It furthermore seeks to challenge prevailing cognitive and analytical constructs of borders and border crossing. Based on ten weeks of fieldwork in Belfast by the author, this study employs extensive participant observation and semi-structured interviews.

Full textAbstract:
L'elaborato si divide in tre capitoli, nei quali, attraverso un percorso logico, si informa il lettore, in un primo momento, dei concetti chiave dei fenomeni smart city e bike sharing, con un'analisi del loro sviluppo nel tempo e con le relative criticità. Nel secondo capitolo inizia un confronto tra le realtà di Siviglia e Padova. In concreto, si osservano i progetti di "Sevilla capital inteligente" e "Padova soft city" presentando le caratteristiche e le attività che le organizzazioni aderenti ai rispettivi progetti svolgono per rendere le relative città più smart.
Un trasporto urbano sostenibile, in termini economici e ambientali, nell'ottica di città intelligente, è senza dubbio una tematica fondamentale. Il sistema di bicicletta condivisa come metodo di trasporto urbano possiede sicuramente le caratteristiche di economicità e sostenibilità ambientale. Per questa ragione, il terzo capitolo dell'elaborato, proseguendo inoltre il confronto tra le città di Siviglia e Padova, mira a comparare i sistemi di bike sharing installati nelle due città, conosciuti con i nomi di “Sevici” e “Goodbike Padova”. Il confronto dei due servizi è strutturato in tre fasi: nella prima si studiano le caratteristiche comuni delle biciclette condivise. Nella seconda fase ci si avvale di una matrice SWOT con il fine di valutare pregi, difetti, opportunità e minacce dei servizi di bike sharing. Nella terza e ultima fase si utilizzano le guide pubblicate negli anni 2013 e 2018 dall’Institute for trasportation and Development Policy, le quali indicano le caratteristiche di un sistema di biciclette condiviso ideale, per confrontarle con la realtà sivigliana e padovana.
Successivamente si lascia spazio al commento personale dello studente in merito all'elaborato e al futuro del sistema di biciclette condivise.
Lo scopo della tesi è quello di presentare e informare il lettore come lo stesso servizio (bike sharing) possa essere concepito e possa essere offerto in modi diversi in due città, le quali tuttavia, hanno come obiettivo comune quello di appartenere alla categoria di città intelligente. Infine, l’elaborato ha l’intento di trasmettere un messaggio di consapevolezza e responsabilità ai cittadini che popolano le realtà urbane, in quanto, senza la volontà di diventare cittadini intelligenti il processo di trasformazione delle città tanto ricercato, non si potrà mai ultimare.

La trasformazione digitale che recentemente sta influenzando ogni aspetto della società ha dato luogo alla nascita delle cosiddette smart city. Sono molti i fattori che permettono ad una città intelligente di essere definita tale, fra questi la mobilità è quella che, soprattutto in Italia, presenta un potenziale latente non ancora valorizzato a dovere.
Il progetto di tesi si inserisce all’interno di questo contesto, proponendo una piattaforma in grado di fornire un servizio di mobilità integrata, data dall’unione di mobilità tradizionale e mobilità condivisa. Quick-In, il nome assegnato al progetto, è un sistema MaaS il cui scopo è facilitare la mobilità delle persone, tenendo in considerazione al contempo il fattore ambientale. In un mondo in cui la riduzione di emissioni nocive alla salute sta diventando sempre più un obiettivo comune, un sistema che sia in grado di ridurre l’uso di veicoli di proprietà a favore di veicoli a più basse emissioni, oppure in condivisione, è sicuramente un valido alleato nello scopo da perseguire.
Quick-In comprende un’applicazione mobile utilizzabile dagli utenti, un’architettura backend, dei dispositivi chiamati station da installare sui mezzi di trasporto pubblico dei servizi che intendono entrare a far parte del sistema e una dashboard con la quale i clienti saranno in grado di effettuare analisi sui dati raccolti dal sistema.
Nel documento di tesi si analizzerà il contesto nel quale il progetto si inserisce, descrivendone successivamente le qualità e le caratteristiche del sistema realizzato, presentandone inoltre gli elementi che lo compongono.

Full textAbstract:
Diese Doktorarbeit untersucht die Rolle die Bürgerinitiativen an der Schnittstelle zwischen städtischen und digitalen Räumen spielen können.
Sie folgt drei Untersuchungslinien. Zunächst wird untersucht, wie die Forschung zu aus Graswurzelbewegungen entstandenen Alternativen für nachhaltige und gerechte Städte von einer besonderen Art des digitalen Gemeinguts profitieren kann: des kollaborativen kartografischen Mappings. Zweitens wird die Verflechtung von digitalen Gemeingütern mit physischen städtischen Gemeingütern untersucht, um zu verstehen, wie die gemeinsame Nutzung zu transformativen Effekten in der Stadt führen kann. Drittens wird versucht, das transformative Potenzial der Gemeingüter als ein Narrativ des Wandels für nachhaltige und gerechte Städte im digitalen Zeitalter zu bewerten.
Methodisch stützt die Arbeit sich auf Aktionsforschung, primäre Einzelfallstudien sowie eine vergleichende Fallstudienanalyse.
Ein vorläufiges Ergebnis ist die Identifizierung von basisgeleiteten kollaborativen Mappings – hier betrachtet als Initiativen des gemeinsamen Wirkens (Commoning) – als wertvolle Wissensquellen zu alternativer Stadtökonomik.
Die Hauptergebnisse zwingen uns dazu, das klassisch-naturalistische Verständnis des Gemeinguts in Frage zu stellen, welches dazu neigt, ein Gemeingut als gegeben zu betrachten. Stattdessen wäre es für die Forschung von Vorteil, einen gemeinsamen Prozess zu untersuchen: die Rückgewinnung, Schaffung und Nutzung gemeinsamer städtischer Ressourcen. Über die künstliche Trennung zwischen materiellen und immateriellen Facetten des Gemeingutes hinaus lässt sich (urbanes) Commoning am besten als eine relationale Praxis in Pflege und Aufbau von Partnerschaften für die Reproduktion von Leben in der Stadt definieren. Dies ist umso wichtiger, dass digitale Werkzeuge zwar neue Potenziale eröffnen können, aber im Gegensatz zu anderen Diskursen (Sharing Economy, Smart Cities) für das Commoning der Stadt nicht von zentraler Bedeutung sind.<br>This doctoral research investigates the role that citizen-driven initiatives can play at the intersection of the urban and digital spaces.
It follows three lines of investigation. First, it explores how research about grassroots alternatives for sustainable and just cities may benefit from a particular type of digital commons: collaborative cartographic mappings. Second, it investigates the intertwin of digital commons with physical urban commons to understand how commoning may lead to transformative impacts in the city. Third, it seeks to evaluate the transformative potential of the commons as a narrative of change for sustainable and just cities in the digital age.
Methodologically, it relies on action research, primary individual case-studies as well as a comparative case-study analysis.
A preliminary result is the identification of grassroots-led collaborative mappings – seen as commoning initiatives – as valuable sources of knowledge about alternative urban economies.
Main results compel us to question the classical/naturalist understanding of the commons that tends to consider it as a given. Instead, research would benefit to investigate a commoning process: the reclaiming creation, and use of shared urban resources. And, further, transcending artificial divides between the tangible and intangible facets of the commons, (urban) commoning is best defined as a relational practice of caring for and building partnerships for the reproduction of life in the city. This is all the more important that another significant result of the present work is that, while they may open new potential, digital tools are not central to commoning the city, in contrast other discourses (Sharing Economy, Smart Cities).
Epistemologically, the author recommends aligning the effort of researching urban commoning to the Diverse/Community Economies research agenda which calls for performative studies of more-than-human urban commoning-communities.

Hampikian, Zélia. "De la distribution aux synergies ? : Circulations locales d’énergie et transformations des processus de mise en réseau de la ville." Thesis, Paris Est, 2017. http://www.theses.fr/2017PESC1001/document.
Full textAbstract:
Au sein des discours accompagnant les volontés de transition énergétique, apparaît de manière grandissante une promotion de circulations d’énergie à des échelles infra-urbaines entre des activités diverses. Des acteurs locaux, nationaux ou transnationaux proposent par exemple de valoriser la chaleur dite « fatale », produite par de multiples activités (industries, data centers, eaux usées …). Parallèlement, on promeut le partage de productions d’énergie décentralisées entre différentes fonctions (résidentiel, tertiaire, commercial …) à des échelles allant de l’îlot au quartier. En somme, des formes de connexion entre activités urbaines pour échanger de l’énergie sont promues et les exemples de mise en œuvre se multiplient.Cette thèse propose de saisir ces connexions comme des nouvelles formes de réseaux urbains, qui se substituent ou se superposent à un modèle de grand réseau centralisé plus que centenaire, fondé sur l’efficacité technico-économique, la solidarisation du territoire et la croissance des consommations. Elle vise à comprendre ce que change l’émergence de ces circulations locales à la co-construction de la ville et des réseaux d’énergie.Pour saisir ces transformations, la thèse combine les apports de deux ensembles de travaux. D’un côté, les recherches urbaines et sociotechniques sur les réseaux permettent de saisir les reconfigurations de ces infrastructures. D’un autre, le champ de l’écologie industrielle et territoriale analyse les dynamiques qui mènent à des échanges de flux matériels entre activités humaines. La combinaison de leurs résultats permet ainsi de saisir l’objet considéré dans ses dimensions sociale, technique et métabolique, c’est-à-dire dans une perspective sociomatérielle.L’analyse se fonde principalement sur trois études de cas dont on s’attache à comprendre l’émergence, le fonctionnement et l’évolution : l’approvisionnement du réseau de chaleur de Dunkerque par une source de chaleur industrielle, la récupération de chaleur sur un data center pour approvisionner un quartier de Marne-la-Vallée et la mutualisation des productions d’énergie dans le quartier de La Confluence à Lyon. Plus largement, un regard est porté sur les reconfigurations concrètes ou proposées de l’organisation de la chaîne d’approvisionnement énergétique à la ville.Les résultats de la thèse sont de trois ordres. En premier lieu, ces mises en réseau ne sont plus motivées par la seule efficacité technico-économique de la forme réticulaire pour l’approvisionnement du territoire. Les intérêts des différents acteurs impliqués ont tous à voir avec un objectif d’optimisation de l’usage des flux : on passe ainsi d’une recherche d’efficacité technico-économique à celle d’une efficacité métabolique. En second lieu, les réseaux qui émergent de ces échanges sont instables, tout particulièrement en raison des incertitudes quant à l’évolution à court et à long terme des flux disponibles. Ainsi, ils ne reproduisent pas l’effet solidarisant permis par la stabilité des grands réseaux conventionnels. Enfin, face à ces instabilités, les acteurs proposent des évolutions qui visent à réduire les dépendances à des flux incertains. Ces évolutions ont pour caractéristique de s’appuyer sur une croissance du réseau qui ne suit plus un objectif d’universalisation. Au contraire, une forte sélection spatiale de l’extension du réseau est opérée, en fonction de la matérialité des flux perçue par les acteurs. Plutôt que d’engendrer de nouvelles consommations dans une logique d’offre, il s’agit ainsi d’intégrer de nouveaux flux déjà présents sur le territoire.En somme, la thèse montre un certain « tournant métabolique » dans le processus de mise en réseau de la ville par l’énergie. Alors que l’extension des infrastructures est pendant longtemps restée au centre des problématiques de construction des réseaux, les flux produits et consommés qui préexistent sur le territoire peuvent à présent être la motivation première de la création de connexions<br>Within the framework of the ongoing energy transition objectives, energy circulations at the infra-urban level are increasingly promoted. For instance, local, national and transnational stakeholders suggest the reuse of heat currently being wasted by diverse human activities (industries, data centres, wastewaters …). Alternatively, distributed energy sharing between different urban functions (residential, services, retail …) at the urban block or district scale is promoted. In short, several forms of connections through energy exchange between urban activities are encouraged and examples of those are multiplying.The thesis offers to capture those connections as new forms of urban networks that supersede or overlap a century-old network model based on techno-economic efficiency, socio-economic and socio-spatial solidarity and consumptions growth. It aims at understanding what these local circulations change to the co-construction of cities and energy networks.To do so, the approach combines the results of two different strands of work. On the one side, urban and sociotechnical studies of networked infrastructures allow to understand the reconfigurations of those systems. On the other side, industrial ecology works analyse the dynamics that lead to material circulations between human activities. The articulation of their results makes it possible to grasp the considered object in its social, technical and metabolic dimensions, that is, in a sociomaterial perspective.The analysis is mainly based on three French case studies of which the emergence, running and evolution are investigated: industrial waste heat reuse in the heat network of the city of Dunkirk, heat extraction from a data center to be distributes the in a district of Marne-la-Vallée and energy sharing in the La Confluence district in Lyon. More broadly, suggested or implemented reconfigurations of the organisation of energy provision are reviewed.The results of the study are threefold. First, these new forms of urban network are not solely motivated by techno-economic efficiency. The interests of the stakeholders all come into alignment with an objective of optimization of energy flows uses: from techno-economic efficiency, the goal becomes metabolic efficiency. Second, the networks formed by those circulations are unstable, in particular because of the uncertainties that regard short and long term availability of energy flows. Hence, they do not reproduce the solidarities that emerge from conventional large and stable networks. Third, to reduce those instabilities, actors suggest evolutions that aim at reducing their dependencies on uncertain flows. These evolutions all result in the growth of the network, but do not follow an objective of universalisation. On the contrary, an important spatial selection is operated, according to the perceived materiality of flows by actors. Instead of leading to new consumptions in a supply rationale, the logic becomes one of existing flows integration.To sum up, the thesis shows a “metabolic turn” in the process of networking the urban through energy circulations. While infrastructures extension has long been at the centre of networks construction, pre-existing produced and consumed flows can now become the primary motivation of building connections

"How do we address the European refugee crisis through employment and integration in an urban environment? : What architectural tactics can we use to support legal and illegal networks within a city?" Thesis, Umeå universitet, Arkitekthögskolan vid Umeå universitet, 2020. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:umu:diva-171732.
Full textAbstract:
A refugee faces many issues on their journey to safety, but the issues do not end once they reach a host country. Applying for asylum is an arduous process with long waiting times in most European countries, and a low acceptance rate. Lack of integration into a new community is one of the main issues faced during this time. Studies show that labour market opportunities are a successful tool to aid integration and help to close the employment gap between native residents and new arrivals. The employment gap exists due to lack of local language, employment connections, transference of existing skills, legal issues, and personal and health issues. This paper argues that early commencement of language learning, transference of qualifications and picking up the necessary new skills for employment, is a positive way to use the long waiting time to benefit asylum seekers. It is also important to support newly accepted refugees during their integration into the community. Reflecting on organisations and networks that currently exist for refugees, a new civic space is proposed in the city to improve the integration of users through labour market training and opportunities. Looking at the legislations in place for integration and existing pathways to residency, an example is shown of how it can be manipulated to encourage involvement in the labour market.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of our thesis was to examine citizens' attitude in a smaller city to new digital innovations, specifically autonomous vehicles and carpools, as well as opinions about citizens' participation. Through a web-based questionnaire, which was distributed on social media, as well as a discussion group on Facebook, an understanding was formed about the human acceptance, motivation factors, views and mobility habits. This was then analyzed to create an understanding of how a citizen dialogue should be conducted in social media. In line with this, we examined whether connections regarding human acceptance of new digital innovations can be affected, depending on how the dialogue is conducted and how much information the citizens are provided with. The result showed a clear relationship between knowledge and attitude, where a little knowledge created a more negative opinion. Other interesting discoveries that were identified, were that people see both problem areas and opportunities with a more digitized society. We also found how the respondents wanted increased participation, and that citizens' views are taken into account and have a clear impact on urban development. Finally, we conclude that the degree of citizens' participation and how the dialogue is conducted, shape their acceptance and understanding of changes in society and mobility solutions. The research area on human acceptance, participation and dialogue on autonomous vehicles and carpools is an emerging area of research. This means that the essay is exploratory which can enable further and more in-depth research.<br>Syftet med vår uppsats var att undersöka medborgare i en mindre stads inställning till nya digitala innovationer, specifikt autonoma fordon och bilpooler, samt åsikter kring medborgares delaktighet. Genom ett webbaserat frågeformulär, som distribuerades på sociala medier, samt en diskussionsgrupp på Facebook, bildades uppfattning kring människans acceptans, motivationsfaktorer, synpunkter och mobilitetsvanor. Sedan analyserades detta för att skapa en förståelse kring hur en medborgardialog bör föras i sociala medier. I linje med det undersöktes även samband om människans acceptans till nya digitala innovationer påverkas, beroende på hur dialogen förs och hur mycket information medborgarna tillhandahålls. Resultatet visade en tydlig relation mellan kännedom och inställning, där en liten kännedom skapade en mer negativ åsikt. Andra intressanta upptäckter som identifierades var att människor ser både problemområden och möjligheter med ett mer digitaliserat samhälle. Vi fann även att respondenterna önskade en ökad inkludering, samt att medborgares synpunkter beaktas och har en tydlig påverkan inom stadsutveckling. Avslutningsvis drar vi slutsatsen att graden av medborgarnas delaktighet och hur dialogen förs, formar deras acceptans samt förståelse för samhällsomställningar och mobilitetslösningar. Forskningsområdet kring människans acceptans, delaktighet och dialog kring autonoma fordon och bilpooler är ett växande undersökningsområde. Det gör att uppsatsen är explorativ vilket kan möjliggöra ytterligare och en mer djupgående forskning.

Full textAbstract:
There are different transportations in the city logistics (e.g., passengers, freights, and wastes), which are handled respectively by single-purpose vehicles (SVs) of the corresponding type. The multi-purpose vehicle (MV) is a future concept whose load modules can be changed for different urban transportations. MVs enable the sequential sharing of different mobilities, thus theoretically improving the efficacy of the city logistics by higher utilization of vehicles. A variant model of the Pick-up and Delivery Problem with Time Windows is established to describe the sequential sharing problem considering both MVs and SVs with the features of multiple depots, partial recharging strategies, and fleet sizing. In the problem, MVs can change their load modules for all types of objects carried by SVs. An adaptive large neighborhood algorithm (ALNS) is developed with new mechanisms for MVs. The proposed ALNS is tested by 15 artificial data cases and compared with the MIP solver. The results show the proposed ALNS is time-effective and validated to find good solutions.<br>Det finns olika transporter i stadslogistiken (t.ex. passagerare, gods och avfall), som hanteras av enskilda fordon (SV) av motsvarande typ. Multifunktionsfordonet (MV) är ett framtida koncept vars lastmoduler kan ändras för olika stadstransporter. MV möjliggör sekventiell delning av olika mobiliteter, vilket på ett teoretiskt sätt förbättrar stadslogistikens effektivitet genom högre användning av fordon. En variantmodell av Pick-up and Delivery Problem with Time Windows är etablerad för att beskriva det sekventiella delningsproblemet med beaktande av både MV och SV med funktionerna i flera depåer, partiella laddningsstrategier och flottans storlek. I problemet kan MV: er ändra sina belastningsmoduler för alla typer av objekt som bärs av SV: er. En adaptiv stor stadsdelalgoritm (ALNS) har utvecklats med nya mekanismer för MV. Den föreslagna ALNS testas av 15 artificiella datafall och jämförs med MIP-lösaren. Resultaten visar att det föreslagna ALNS är tidseffektivt och validerat för att hitta bra lösningar.

Full textAbstract:
Detta projekt handlar om hur vi kan bo nära varandra i en stad och samtidigt ha tydliga gränser kring de ytor vi delar. Var möts vi i staden? Var är vi tillsammans i bostaden? När övergår den privata sfären till gemensam? Kommunikationen i dagens bostadshus har reducerats till minsta möjliga vilket helt tar över dess utformning. Att istället se denna som en social yta har potential att skapa ett levande atmosfär där mer privata funktioner delas med kommunikationen. Delandet handlar också om de saker vi har i hemmet, är delning av kökmaskiner och städredskap ett möjligt sätt att spara energi? Hur kan vi bygga för att främja detta? I processen har jag försökt definiera vad som skapar ett attraktivt boende i stadskontext och se hur detta går att applicera i morgondagens Stockholm. Jag har gjort detta genom att skissa i modell och analysera dessa i jämförelse med exempel på lyckade bostadshus. Utformning av kommunikation och vad vi kan dela i ett bostadshus är de två frågor jag har fokuserat på i detta projekt. Hur kan bostadshuset vara en förlängning av staden och samtidigt signalera en privathet?<br>This project is about how we can live near each other in the city, while having clear boundaries around the areas we share. Where do we meet in the city? Where does the private sphere become commune? Communication, such as stairs and corridors, in residential houses has been reduced to a minimum. The result of this is that the balance between architecture and function is very unstable. To instead see this as a social area has the potential to create a vibrant atmosphere where more private functions are shared with the communication. How can we share space? What can the house share with the city? What can the user share with each other? Sharing is a potential way to save energy. How can we build to promote this? In the process, I have tried to define what creates an attractive residential building in a city context. I have done this by model sketching and analyze these in relation to examples of successful residential buildings. The formation of the communication and what we can share in a residential building are the two main questions in this project. How can the dwelling house be an extension to the city while signal a private sphere?

Full textAbstract:
Al Qaeda killings, posttraumatic stress, and the Gothic together triangulate a sizable space in recent American fiction that is still largely uncharted by critics. This thesis maps that shared territory in four novels written between 2005 and 2007 by writers who were born in America, and whose protagonists are the survivors in New York City after the World Trade Center falls. Published in the city of their tragedy and reviewed in its media, the novels surveyed here include Don DeLillo’s _Falling Man_ (2007), Jonathan Safran Foer’s _Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close_ (2005), Lynne Sharon Schwartz’s _The Writing on the Wall_ (2005), and Jess Walter’s _The Zero_ (2006). The thesis issues a challenge to the large number of negative and dismissive reviews of the novels under consideration, making a case that under different criteria, shaped by trauma theory and psychoanalysis, the novels succeed after all in making readers feel what it was to be alive in September 2001, enduring the posttraumatic stress for months and years later. The thesis asserts that 9/11 fiction is too commonly presented in popular journals and scholarly studies as an undifferentiated mass. In the same critical piece a journalist or an academic may evaluate narratives in which unfold a terrorist's point of view, a surviving or a dying New York City victim's perspective, and an outsider's reaction set thousands of miles away from Ground Zero. What this thesis argues for is a separation in study of the fictive strands that meditate on the burning towers, treating the New York City survivor story as a discrete body. Despite their being set in one of the most known cities of the Western world, and the terrorist attack that they depict being the most- watched catastrophe ever experienced in real-time before, these fictions have not yet been critically ordered. Charting the salient reappearing conflicts, unsettling descriptions, protagonist decay, and potent techniques for registering horror that resurface in this New York City 9/11 fiction, this thesis proposes and demonstrates how the peculiar and affecting Gothic tensions in the works can be further understood by trauma theory, a term coined by Cathy Caruth in Unclaimed Experience (1996: 72). Though the thesis concentrates on developments in trauma theory from the mid 1990s to 2015, it also addresses its theoretical antecedents: from the earliest voices in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries that linked mental illness to a trauma (Charcot, Janet, Breuer, Freud), to researchers from mid-twentieth century (Adler, Lindemann) who studied how catastrophe affects civilian minds not previously trained to either fight war or withstand cataclysm. Always keeping at the fore the ancient Greek double-meaning of trauma as both unhealing “wound” and “defeat,” the thesis surveys tenets of the trauma theorists from the very first of those who studied the effects on civilian survivors of disaster (of what is still the largest nightclub fire in U.S. history, which replaced front page coverage of World War II for a few days: the Cocoanut Grove blaze in Boston, 1942) up to those theorists writing in 2015. The concepts evolving behind trauma theory, this thesis demonstrates, provide a useful mechanism to discuss the surprising yearnings hiding behind the appearance of doppelgängers, possession ghosts, terrorists as monsters, empty coffins, and visitants that appear to feed on characters’ sorrow, guilt, and loneliness within the novels under discussion. This thesis reappraises the dominant idea in trauma studies of the mid-1990s, namely that trauma victims often cannot fully remember and articulate their physical and psychic wounds. The argument here is that, true to the theories of the Caruthian school, the victims in these novels may not remember and express their trauma completely and in a linear fashion. However, the victims figured in these novels do relate the horrors of their memory to a degree by letting their narration erupt with the unexpectedly Gothic images, tropes, visions, language, and typical contradictions, aporias, lacunae, and paradoxes. The Gothic, one might say, becomes the language in which trauma speaks and articulates itself, albeit not always in the most cogent of signs. One might easily dismiss these fleeting Gothic presences that characters conjure in the fictions under consideration as anomalous apparitions signalling nothing. However, this thesis interrogates these ghostly traces of Gothicism to find what secrets they hold. Working from the insights of psychoanalysis and its post-Freudian re-inventers and challengers, it aims to puzzle out the dimensions of characters’ mourning in its “traumagothic” reading of the texts. Characters’ use of the Gothic becomes their way of remembering, a coded language to the curious. This thesis holds that unexpressed grief and guilt are the large constant in this grouping of novels. Characters’ grief articulation and guilt release, or the desire for symbolic amnesia, take paths that the figures often were suspicious of before 9/11: a return to organized religion, a belief in spirits, a call for vengeance, psychotherapy, substance abuse, splitting with a partner, rampant sex with nearby strangers, torture of suspects, and killing. All the earnest attempts through the above means by the characters to express grief, vent rage, and alleviate survivor guilt do so without noticeable success. True closure towards their trauma is largely a myth. No reliable evidence surfaces from the close reading of the texts that those affected by trauma ever fully recover. However, as this thesis demonstrates, other forms of recompense come from these searches for elusive peace and the nostalgic longing for the America that has been lost to them.

A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor in Information Management, specialization in Geographic Information Systems<br>There has been an exponential growth of cities in the last decade. Rural to urban migration
are occurring at an unprecedented level. This is partly because cities serve as hubs of
innovation offering numerous economic opportunities. However, this growth comes with
its unique challenges some of which include strained mobility, pollution, growth of slums
etc. The “smart cities” concept aims to address this with increased efficiency using a
unique combination of data and technology in every aspect of the city. Even though it is
believed that the smart cities concept inherently incorporates sustainability or ultimately
leads to a more sustainable city, not all smart city concepts are aligned with sustainability
targets. In this research, we provide a more holistic view studying the relationship
between a “smart city” and a “sustainable city”. We conceptualised a framework to
measure the connection between technology and environmental sustainability and
categorised European cities based on this relationship. We provide a concise and clearer
understanding of the drivers of the use of technology through the sharing economy to
foster sustainability in cities by citizens. Using a weighting and meta-analysis of adoption
theories, we laid the foundation for additional hypothesises which researchers can
evaluate in future smart sustainable cities assessment studies and provided interesting
insights for city councils and governments pushing for a citizen adoption of sustainable
practices within their administrative boundaries. Lastly, we rank European capital cities
based on how smart and sustainable they are using a composite index based on publicly
available data. We also carried out a sensitivity analysis and validation study of our
results.

Full textAbstract:
碩士<br>國立交通大學<br>運輸與物流管理學系<br>105<br>In recent years, more and more countries paid attention to the development of bike-sharing system. The main purpose of bike-sharing system is to provide the last mile service for public transportation and to increase the accessibility of public transportation. The relationship between bike-sharing system, public transport and private vehicle mode is worth exploring. Previous literatures mostly explored whether bike-sharing system could replace private vehicle mode, but less focus on the complementary relationship between bike-sharing and public transportation. Maybe there are different relationship between commute and leisure. This study is explored the complementary and substitution relationship of different purpose of trips.
The questionnaire in this study is conducted by stated preference in order to discover the mode choice of Taipei residents, and using data to modeling the multinomial logit and nested logit model. The results revealed that total cost, total time, rain, temperature, gender, age and income have apparently effect on mode choice. Otherwise, people care about the main mode in commute trips and care about the access mode in leisure trips.
Through the calculation of cross- elasticity, there are complementary relationship between bike-sharing system and public transportation in commute trips. In leisure trips, there are complementary relationship between bike-sharing system and metro, substitution relationship between bike-sharing system and bus. The results of policy simulations revealed that if there are metro price discount when raining help to gain the market share of public transportation. If there are bus price discount on weekdays or metro price discount on holidays when it raining help to gain the market share of bike-sharing system. Offer price discount for young people to use bike-sharing system, in commute trips may gain the market share of bike-sharing system as acess mode of public transportation , in leisure trips may gain the market share of bike-sharing system as main mode.

碩士<br>國立成功大學<br>都市計劃學系<br>106<br>The bike-sharing systems(BSS) provide users with the ability to pick up and return bikes quickly from docking stations, and also be used to integrate different transportation systems in the city. BSS not only provides more convenient services, it also records rental information in the system. There has been some literature to explore the travel behavior and the factors that affect the users’ behavior of BSS.
After inducting the rule of travel behavior of users based on operation data of BSS in Kaohsiung city (C-bike), this study establishes the simulation model with agent-based model. After simulating 10 days’ data, the results show that the simulation model can properly reflect the actual users' behavior. The difference in total amount in simulation results and actual situation is only 1.5%. In the simulation results, 92% and 70% of the docking stations are comparable to the actual pickup and return amount. The pattern of pickups and returns are also high correlated with actual situation.
The simulation model built in this study can help planners to observe and understand the distribution and activity of public bicycle. Planners can also test different policy scenarios, and record and export the simulation records for further analysis and comparison.

With the software SPSS for Windows 12.0, the data was analyzed through descriptive statistics and Paired-Samples T Test. Results show as following:
I. The elementary schools using and sharing resources in New Taipei City are commonly carried out well.
II. The resources using and sharing in New Taipei City’s elementary schools vary upon the location and the scale of the school.
III. The elementary schools using and sharing resources in New Taipei City are effective.
IV. The disparity of effectiveness upon resources using and sharing in New Taipei City’s elementary schools can be seen due to schools’ locations and scales.
V. The biggest challenge that all new Taipei City’s elementary schools are facing in terms of resources using and sharing is the lack of manpower and resources. As the activities are mostly held at night time or weekends in terms of schools sharing resources with the communities, the lack of school manpower for support becomes a common problem.
VI. Regardless of schools’ locations and the scales, the problems in terms of resource using and sharing that all New Taipei City’s elementary schools are facing are seemingly similar.

Full textAbstract:
La tesi vuole focalizzarsi sull'interdipendenza tra le nuove pratiche di consumo che emergono all'interno del paradigma della Sharing Economy, e le politiche della Smart city, unite allo sviluppo delle ICT. Attraverso un approccio di ricerca allo stesso tempo teorico ed empirico, l'obiettivo è di mettere al centro le persone all'interno dei discorsi sulle città intelligenti. Attraverso un'analisi ad ampio raggio sugli utenti di servizi di "Sharing mobility" (intesi come servizi "smart"), l'obiettivo della ricerca è stato indagare a vari livelli l'universo dei bisogni e dei valori a cui questi attingono e l'impatto sugli stili di vita e di mobilità. Partendo dagli utilizzatori finali di questi servizi di Smart mobility, è stato possibile comparare il profilo dell'utenza con il profilo delle "Smart People" così come delineato nei discorsi istituzionali, accademici e delle corporate all'interno delle differenti visioni di Smart city.La città è oggi, più di sempre, il luogo del cambiamento, della rivoluzione dell’abitare e del consumare, dei nuovi movimenti sociali urbani. Basti pensare al movimento #occupy, alle forme di autogestione degli spazi culturali (si pensi ai tanti spazi occupati come teatri, cinema, etc.), ai GAS (gruppi di acquisto solidale), alle iniziative dal basso di sensibilizzazione sui temi della sostenibilità ambientale e mobilità sostenibile, e a favore dell’interculturalità e accoglienza degli immigrati. La città è il luogo di hackaton, fiere ed eventi internazionali, invasa dai maker come dai cosplayer, in un flusso continuo di riappropriazione e risemantizzazione degli spazi, che vede nella condivisione di conoscenza e idee (ma anche di beni e servizi) uno dei suoi valori fondanti. Lo studio di questi fenomeni sociali deve interessarci, dobbiamo in qualche modo interpretarne le motivazioni e canalizzare queste spinte dal basso, coglierne le connessioni, affinché esse vengano incluse e integrate come fattore strategico in un una nuova visione di città.
L’importanza di uno sguardo sociologico pervade questa ricerca:
I Parte - "Urban places, electronic spaces and human activities": l'obiettivo è comprendere la città per come si mostra oggi, ovvero nella sua notevole e crescente complessità, passando in rassegna le caratteristiche degli organismi urbani per come essi si mostrano, luogo di contraddizioni e libertà, diritti e costrizioni. La città è il luogo della cittadinanza e di una nuova “abitanza precaria” vissuta in modo sempre più fluido tra gli spazi dei flussi e quelli dei luoghi.
II Parte - "Beyond the definition of Smart city: finding Smart People": si utilizza un approccio basato sull’importanza della centralità delle “persone” al fine di analizzare il concetto di Smart city per come si è prodotto nei discorsi istituzionali, corporativi e accademici. Inoltre sono stati utilizzati gli strumenti teoretici emersi nell’ambito delle scienze sociali per comprendere e teorizzare il fenomeno della Smart city e soprattutto per provare a definire chi sono le Smart People.
III Parte - "An Evaluation of people smartness: research design, methods and perspectives": viene proposta una ricerca empirica che vuole porsi come base per ricerche future e nuove riflessioni metodologiche, ancora scarse nelle scienze sociali rispetto a questo fenomeno. Attraverso l’individuazione di un “servizio smart” (nello specifico: i servizi di sharing mobility) si è tentato di analizzare il profilo degli utilizzatori che abbiamo definito “persone smart” per distinguerle dalle Smart people, ovvero il modello ideologizzato e idealizzato proposto dalle istituzioni, dalle corporate e dall’accademia. Le evidenze della ricerca esplorativa condotta attraverso una web survey hanno confermato che è importante partire dalle pratiche per comprendere le dinamiche simboliche e comportamentali delle persone. E’ emerso il profilo degli “Smart city user” nel tentativo di affrancare la visione delle persone che realmente hanno comportamenti smart dall’idealtipo di Smart people costruito a monte nelle narrazioni sulle Smart city.
La spinta conoscitiva di questa tesi, e probabilmente il suo obiettivo e merito scientifico principale, è stata proporre un focus sulle persone, nell’ambito di ricerca sulle Smart city. Dopo una disamina della letteratura scientifica prodotta sul tema il percorso si è fatto volutamente più esplorativo e ha condotto a:
1. Comprendere qual è il “modello”, il “progetto”, di persone (Smart people) che la visione urbana sottesa alla Smart city definisce o che vorrebbe contribuire a costruire (attraverso le narrazioni e le attuazioni, ovvero le iniziative implementate);
2. Individuare, da una prospettiva teoretica, le diverse spinte culturali e i fenomeni sociali che stanno dietro all’idea di Smart people (così come emerge dai discorsi istituzionali, delle corporate e accademici);
3. Promuovere (cogliendone le opportunità e potenzialità, quanto la necessità) nuovi obiettivi di ricerca sociale in grado di:
a. Riabilitare la presenza delle persone (siano esse smart o meno) nella visione, nella costruzione identitaria, di un nuovo modello di città;
b. Proporre una prospettiva human-centred di progettazione dei servizi, che permetta di considerare gli effettivi bisogni delle persone e abbattere le
barriere che creano esclusione;
c. Analizzare le pratiche di azione urbana bottom-up (iniziative e progetti “smart” provenienti dai cittadini-abitanti), in modo da comprenderne l’universo di valori a cui fanno riferimento i “comportamenti sostenibili”;
Ma ha senso parlare di Smart city?
La maggior parte dei problemi urbani sono sociali, come la povertà, le discriminazioni, la disuguaglianza, il crimine e la marginalità, problematiche molto spesso esacerbate da certe strategie politiche ed economiche. Una risoluzione di questi tratti critici non sembra poter provenire solamente dall’implementazioni di soluzioni tecnologiche, anche le più innovative e sofisticate.
Il modello “Smart city” si pone come risposta a questa complessità e a questi problemi, ma, come si è già sottolineato, finisce per non risolverli ma con il perpetuare (sebbene in forme diverse), disuguaglianze e disparità. La mancanza di interesse, da parte delle istituzioni, nell’includere effettivamente i cittadini in un processo decisionale davvero democratico, e l’assenza di un loro reale coinvolgimento, partecipazione e controllo negli Smart city project, ha portato ad aspre critiche al modello Smart city (Holland, 2015). I limiti della smartness, così come intesa nel discorso sulle smart city, come abbiamo visto sono proiettati di riflesso sulle Smart People.
È possibile considerare un’alternativa, ovvero un nuovo di pensare la “smartness” (sia in riferimento alla città che alle persone) oltre alle forme che sono emerse fino ad oggi?
Una narrazione alternativa è possibile se si è pronti a dare voce ai discorsi delle persone che le città le abitano, le vivono, le consumano, ne rimescolano le dimensioni simboliche e spaziali attraverso le loro pratiche quotidiane.
Bisogna ripartire dalle pratiche, dai progetti, dagli esperimenti di successo o innescati da iniziative dal basso, per capirne le logiche e creare un discorso alternativo a quelli portati avanti finora dalle istituzioni, dalle corporation e dal mondo accademico. Questa
operazione è possibile all’interno stesso del “paradigma” Smart city una volta che si sono comprese le sue dinamiche economiche, politiche e di potere, ma anche le sue potenzialità.
Qual è, dunque, il vero valore del concetto di Smart city?
La sua vera portata innovativa, ci verrebbe da dire, è che essa non è affatto una novità: la visione che disegna non è stata introdotta ex abrupto da chi l’ha progettata e/o definita. Quello che è paradigmatico nella Smart city è la capacità di aggregare, riorganizzare, mettere a sistema, riunire, risemantizzare e far incontrare/scontrare concetti e paradigmi preesistenti (Marciano, 2015).
Ogni tipo di narrazione prodotta sulla smart city, sia essa istituzionale, corporativa, accademica o critica, evidenzia il bisogno, se non la necessità, di un nuovo paradigma urbano alla luce di alcuni processi in atto: l’aumento della popolazione nelle aree urbane, l’eccessivo sfruttamento delle risorse ambientali, l’aumento delle diseguaglianze sociali. Di sicuro i driver del cambiamento sono le persone: con le loro scelte politiche, di consumo, di mobilità, di stili di vita.
Una delle frasi che ho ascoltato e letto più frequentemente in questi anni è “Le Smart City le fanno le Smart People”, oppure “Non ci sono Smart City senza Smart Citizen”; il tentativo di questa ricerca è di affermare in modo più consapevole che è ora di partire dalle persone, di capire chi sono coloro che cambieranno, o forse stanno già cambiando, il volto delle città.

Full textAbstract:
Motivated by the imbalance between demand (i.e., passenger requests) and supply (i.e., available vehicles) in the ride-hailing market and severe traffic congestion faced by modern cities, this dissertation aims to improve the efficiency of the sharing economy by building an agent-based methodological framework for optimal decision-making of distributed agents (e.g., autonomous shared vehicles), including passenger-seeking and route choice. Furthermore, noticing that city planners can impact the behavior of agents via some operational measures such as congestion pricing and signal control, this dissertation investigates the overall bilevel problem that involves the decision-making process of both distributed agents (i.e., the lower level) and central city planners (i.e., the upper level).
First of all, for the task of passenger-seeking, this dissertation proposes a model-based Markov decision process (MDP) approach to incorporate distinct features of e-hailing drivers. The modified MDP approach is found to outperform the baseline (i.e., the local hotspot strategy) in terms of both the rate of return and the utilization rate. Although the modified MDP approach is set up in the single-agent setting, we extend its applicability to multi-agent scenarios by a dynamic adjustment strategy of the order matching probability which is able to partially capture the competition among agents. Furthermore, noticing that the reward function is commonly assumed as some prior knowledge, this dissertation unveils the underlying reward function of the overall e-hailing driver population (i.e., 44,000 Didi drivers in Beijing) through an inverse reinforcement learning method, which paves the way for future research on discovering the underlying reward mechanism in a complex and dynamic ride-hailing market.
To better incorporate the competition among agents, this dissertation develops a model-free mean-field multi-agent actor-critic algorithm for multi-driver passenger-seeking. A bilevel optimization model is then formulated with the upper level as a reward design mechanism and the lower level as a multi-agent system. We use the developed mean field multi-agent actor-critic algorithm to solve for the optimal passenger-seeking policies of distributed agents in the lower level and Bayesian optimization to solve for the optimal control of upper-level city planners. The bilevel optimization model is applied to a real-world large-scale multi-class taxi driver repositioning task with congestion pricing as the upper-level control. It is disclosed that the derived optimal toll charge can efficiently improve the objective of city planners.
With agents knowingwhere to go (i.e., passenger-seeking), this dissertation then applies the bilevel optimization model to the research question of how to get there (i.e., route choice). Different from the task of passenger-seeking where the action space is always fixed-dimensional, the problem of variable action set emerges in the task of route choice. Therefore, a flow-dependent deep Q-learning algorithm is proposed to efficiently derive the optimal policies for multi-commodity multi-class agents. We demonstrate the effect of two countermeasures, namely tolling and signal control, on the behavior of travelers and show that the systematic objective of city planners can be optimized by a proper control.

碩士<br>國立臺灣科技大學<br>資訊管理系<br>105<br>Information sharing has now become critically alert of disaster news spreading. The more faster the information is obtained, the disaster recovery will be done more briskly. Therefore, this study examines factors that influence twitter users in disaster information sharing. Most of the previous studies evaluated on virtual community, whereas in this study, we adjust on social media. We tested personal, environmental and information platform factors. In terms of personal and environmental factors, there a lot of research that has addressed the issues, while there are still plenty of them that are using information platforms as their main issues of literature.
Google form collected the data from online survey. Three hundred and fifty data were collected, but only 257 data were valid. We used Structural Equation modeling (SEM) to analyze the data from online survey. The result suggests that personal outcome expectation and altruism from personal factors, as well as community identification from environmental factors, have significant effect on intention of disaster information sharing. However, the amount of sharing participant, frequency of sharing, and searching information do not have significant effect on disaster information sharing. Moreover, information platform also positively influences disaster information sharing. At last, the final result is the intention of disaster information sharing positively influences its behavior of Jakarta twitter users.

In order to face the diversity and rapid changes in information generation, it is nessary to have the ability of reading comprehension.
Middle school students are at the run-in period between children and adults period, changes of the physical edffect psychological needs and knowledge needs. With the coming of 12-year compulsory education policy, the teacher-student interaction mode has also been changed. One way mode that teachers teach and students learn amended, and it’s necessary to cultivate the information literacy of middle school students.
To improve students’ information literacy do need the coordination and cooperation between the public libraries and the national middle school libraries. Both of the libraries can provide library and information services to the students on hardware part, and provide curriculum and teaching design or library instruction on software part. And both parts are the basis of information literacy. National middle school libraries service mainly on teachers and students, so the government funding and resources are indeed limited. The main target of public libraries is the entire population, and compared to school libraries, government funding and professional capacity are abundant. If middle school libraries and public libraries can share the resources with each other, and also implement the information literacy curriculum with spiral planning at the same time, the scholarly community can be created and middle school students can be cultivated with reading comprehension ability.
This study investigate the resources sharing between national middle school libraries and public libraries of overseas areas, South Korea, Singapore and Hong Kong and also three domestic areas including Taipei, New Taipei and Kaohsiung. Through the literature review of resource sharing between libraries, and compared it with the situation of keelung, a better future plan can be make.
Although there is a Taiwan's first private public library in Keelung and it has historic location, the humid and rainy weather and the frontier location of Taipei City affecte the middle school students’ opportunities of outdoor activities. Therefore, national middle school libraries and public libraries have the responsibility to increase students' leisure activities places and meet the students need of reading.
The results found that:
(1) 40% national middle school libraries and the public libraries share community resources.
(2) the main types of shared community resource is the speech of "about the writer."
(3) the motivation and demand of community resources sharing between national middle school libraries and public libraries are very strong.
At the end of this study, issues of the community resources sharing between national middle school libraries for follow-up study are suggested.

碩士<br>國立中正大學<br>會計與資訊科技研究所<br>99<br>The advent of the knowledge economy makes the knowledge to become resources of individuals, and knowledge can be created by another knowledge. However, the conversion process of creating knowledge is the act of sharing and accessing knowledge. In recent years, many public sectors share public data to enhance performance, but what factors should make members to share knowledge? This research applies the theory of planned behavior and technology acceptance model to explore factors affecting knowledge-sharing behavior in the public sector. The research target is Kaohsiung City government. After path analysis, the research findings reveals that trust and identification do not significantly affect intertion and attitude toward knowledge sharing. Behavioral Subjectire norm is affected by the organization norm. Behavioral intention and attitude are affected by the organization norm, extrinsic reward, reciprocal relationships, enjoyment in helping others others, and information technology usage. According to the aforementioned findings, it is suggented that establishing knowledge sharing norm, providing fair and attractive reward systems, and enhanaing more communication among employees through information and communication technologies through information and communication technologies are critical issues for knowledge sharing in the public sectors.

Thesis is submitted in partial fulfilment for the degree of Master of Architecture (Professional) to the Faculty of Engineering and the Built Environment, School of Architecture and Planning at the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, 2017<br>Ever since we as humans sat around fires in caves, we have been sharing stories in an attempt to understand life and the need to survive. Storytelling is an integral part of human experience. We define our lives in narrative form. It gives us a means to explain the inexplicable and understand our lives in the context of a greater whole. The increasing prevalence of technologies like cell phones, tablets, and laptops has lead to a phenomenon of disconnection between people in the physical dimension. Instead of communicating faceto-face, with all of our senses engaged, we rely on technology to interact with friends and share our stories. South Africa’s current political climate, and particularly the protests on University campuses across the country in the past year, has emphasised the idea that society is suffering from a lack of real communication. This research proposes that stories can create change in the built environment, through building design, in the same way that stories affect our personal beliefs and understanding. Thus the concept of narrative and memory and how it manifests itself in architectural design and discourse is explored. This report finds that nostalgia and phenomenology play a significant role in producing connections between people and the built environment and these theories must be employed to create strong narratives in architecture.
Orange Grove, once a vibrant suburb along Louis Botha Avenue, has suffered from a lack of investment and development since the 1990s. Ultimately I employ perceptual and conceptual design philosophies to design a sustainable intervention within the already rich context of Orange Grove. The Story Exchange building design proposes that only through art, craft and open tactile interaction (that involves all the senses) - can one produce architecture that becomes a catalyst for the creative upliftment of the area and its community.<br>XL2018

The relationship between cars and cities is changing. The auto-centric development predominant in America in the 20th century is beginning to subside and disappear. It is being replaced by efforts to make cities more sustainable, enjoyable, and accessible by their citizens without the need to always own a personal vehicle. Given the issues inherent in building more infrastructure to support the ever-growing demand for automobiles, continuing to rely on fossil fuels to power them, or living in neglected spaces designed for machines, an alternative solution is needed. While entirely giving up the car today is socially, politically, economically, and physically impossible, new ways of dealing with it are becoming viable. These developments are currently in their nascent stages, but they hold immense potential to transform the way urban mobility operates in the near future.
This thesis explores architecture's response to this emerging reality and proposes that it is time for the car and the city to foster a productive relationship. In the past, architects and urban planners have designed and re-designed the built environment to accommodate the needs of the automobile. Today, there is a need for an architecture which integrates mobility and the means of powering it with vibrant and social urban space. Through the design of a networked mobility hub for Long Island City in Queens, New York, this thesis will re-imagine the relationship between cars and architecture, creating a new paradigm for dealing with the automobile in the city.

Implementation of innovative strategies must be through the knowledge management activities, enabling organizations to systematically acquire, create and integrate knowledge resources,and knowledge is to share the value created, only the sharing of knowledge to produce real value to the organization to improve organizational competitiveness.
The knowledge management may say that is starts from the knowledge share, the organization promotes the knowledge management the biggest barrier here, to be able to attain the successful key finally also in this. Since the promotion of knowledge sharing is so important but also so difficult, therefore how to initiate organizes the member to have the knowledge share intention, and promotes the knowledge share behavior, finally achieves the knowledge share the result, becomes one quite importantly, and is worth the subject which discusses thoroughly. However, the knowledge sharing behavior and contrary to human nature, fear for their members will have expertise to share with others, it will threaten their position in the organization, resulting willingness to share is not high, so many organizations, knowledge management strategy has become failures. One of the reasons, in addition to these organizations rely too heavily on information technology, while ignoring the attitude of the members, but also affect the sharing behavior in important key factor.
This research mainly in the discussion influence knowledge share intention correlation factor, first obtains the correlation theories basis after the literature discussion, proposed that the organizational commitment , the trusting relationship and the expected return three influencing factors, and take the Kaohsiung city military instructors in senior high school as the objects of study, discusses these factors with individual “the knowledge share manner” between relations, and examines “the knowledge share manner” regarding “the knowledge share intention” the influence.
This research used convenience sampling methods of sample extraction, a total of 326 questionnaires sent, 276 valid questionnaires, the questionnaire return rate was 85%. After this study, multivariate data analysis methods to verify the dimensions of the research relationship. After analyzing the questionnaire data obtained the following conclusions:
The organization commitment and the expected return to the knowledge share manner is not remarkable influence. The trusting relationship to the knowledge share manner is remarkable influence. The knowledge share manner will have to the knowledge share intention remarkable influence.

Full textAbstract:
碩士<br>國立政治大學<br>公共行政研究所<br>95<br>Knowledge sharing is a critical step for successful knowledge management. However, sharing knowledge not only requires time and effort but also reduces value or power in the public organization. Therefore, individual’s knowledge does not transform easily into organizational knowledge. The purpose of this study is to develop an understanding of the factors affecting the individual’s knowledge sharing behavior in the governmental context. The research model includes various constructs based on social exchange theory, social capital theory , and the theory of planned behavior .Hence, this research developed an integrated theoretical model and unveiled three sets of critical factors: psychological(extrinsic rewards, reciprocal relationships, enjoyment in helping others), organizational (identification ,trust , pro-sharing norm)and technological(information technology usage) that are believed to affect the knowledge sharing behaviors. Data collected from 524 employees in Taipei City Government were conducted to test the research model using the structural equation modeling (SEM) approach.
The results of the study provide empirical support for the overall structure theorized in the research model. Knowledge sharing behavior was predicted by the employees’ intention towards knowledge sharing. Knowledge sharing intention in turn was predicted by employees’ attitude towards knowledge sharing, subjective norm and perceived behavioral control. The employees perceptions of reciprocal relationships, enjoyment in helping others and identification were positively associated with favorable attitude towards knowledge sharing. The perceptions of extrinsic rewards exerted a negative effect on the attitude. Organizational trust and pro-sharing norm positively influenced employees’ subjective norm. Additionally, information technology usage was positively associated with high levels of perceived behavioral control towards knowledge sharing.
Based on the findings, the study indicates that an increased effort to encourage employees to participate knowledge sharing activities is associated with a positive social interaction culture. Specifically, reinforcing individual’s intrinsic motivation and creating an organizational context characterized by trust, identification and pro-sharing norm are likely to encourage both management and employees to socialize and interact frequently with each other by means of driving knowledge sharing intention. Finally, the study has implications for public manager and policy maker to formulate policies and appropriately to ensure the effective creation of a knowledge sharing culture.

Full textAbstract:
碩士<br>國立臺灣師範大學<br>地理學系<br>107<br>Public Bicycle-Sharing System (PBS) has been developed for a decade in Taipei City. As the construction of the rental station has gradually become complete, it has become one of the public transport systems in Taipei City. Since the usage of PBS in outdoor environments, not only that, Taiwan has a high concentration of particulate matters (PM) in winter and spring. The particulate matters in the air easily enter the respiratory tract and blood vessels of the human body, which may cause physical discomfort or increase the risk of cardiovascular disease. In addition, the frequency of extreme weather in Taiwan has gradually increased in recent years. Does air quality and weather profile have an impact on the use of public bicycles? The study used Pearson Correlation Coefficient and Regression Analysis method to analyze the relationship between PBS rental behavior and weather and air quality from November, 2016 to October, 2017 in Taipei City. The results show that rainfall in the weather-related variables is significantly negatively correlated with the rental rate of PBS; temperature, wind speed and aerosol concentration have no significant effect.
