Streszczenie:

Debates over the distinctive economic, political and social affordances of the post-industrial age converge in a constellation of intellectual property alternatives. This project maps four paradigmatic agendas for the production and ownership of immaterial property: Information Privatization, Immaterial Exceptionalism, Network Distribution and Ecological De-colonization. I define these paradigms through a tripartite rubric: their ontological foundations, their normative presuppositions and their institutional topologies. Grounded in these four alternatives for the production and ownership of immaterial property, I turn my investigation to the challenge of political community in a post-industrial age. Each paradigm poses a distinct challenge to traditional understandings of political community, as a theoretical proposition and empirical reality. The question of 'Whose Property?' emerges within the normative framework of Critical International Relations Theory. Within this tradition the challenge of political community is to address how political communities institutionalize and express modes of capitalist development. I pose the question of 'Whose Property?' for the purposes both of diagnosis and prognosis. My diagnosis speaks to the challenge of political community in an age of increasing global interdependency, shaped by the logics of post-industrial capitalism. The prognosis, I want to suggest, is that if we conceive political communities as a mode of collective political action, then the varied agendas for intellectual property may provide a powerful motivational argument underpinning emerging modes of political action. They may also offer institutional alternatives that can provide inroads to support the institutional realization of the emancipatory agenda of Critical International Relations Theory. By way of conclusion, this project leaves us with an overarching challenge. In looking at these approaches to intellectual property through the lens of political community, a key transformation manifests itself – the erosion of the Westphalian 'public' and rising demands for pluralized, distributed and globalized Post-Westphalian 'publics'.

This study suggests that transfer of State forests to the local communities is the least cost policy option to improve prevailing deforestation problem in Nepal. However, there are few problems at operational, institutional, and policy levels, which are restricting community forest (CF) transformation. The critical review of seven representative case studies and modern forest policy of Nepal identifies following important issues in CF transformation in Nepal. They are low marginal flexibility, incomplete and uncertain property rights transfer, equity problem, specific demand adjustment problem, and inconsistent forest policy. This work recommends for amendment of modern CF policy guidelines to reduce CF transformation costs, increase present value of future returns, and reduce present value of enforcement costs. These amendments will be effective to improve prevailing CF work situation in Nepal. Availability

Streszczenie:

The literature shows that there is much value placed in community involvement in the design of new social housing schemes, but little in the way of conclusive proof that it is effective. It was decided to establish the built effect of this involvement - did it make a difference to the houses? The research incorporates both qualitative and quantitative elements. A questionnaire survey of all developing housing associations was used to establish the current situation and four case study developments were selected and investigated in detail. The case studies were similarly sized housing developments located in London, Birmingham, Sheffield and Sunderland The survey shows that housing associations are involving tenants in a variety of ways. The predominant picture is one of participation in the latter stages of the design process, in the selection of the fixtures and fittings. There is also significant use of post occupancy surveys with results feeding into the housing associations' design briefs. There are no significant regional differences in approach but the size of association does appear to affect the community involvement techniques adopted, as does the procurement of the development site. Larger landlords use more involvement techniques and do so earlier in the process. The four case study developments show similarities in the pattern of the community involvement. Two types of involvement were isolated, and these are termed generic and specific. The former being where representative tenants are used to develop design briefs that are used in the development of all schemes, and the latter where the community is involved in the design of its own built environment. Overall the effect of involvement on the houses produced is small, with other factors in the development process being more significant; yet the processes isolated are associated with some built changes and these are unlikely to have been made independently of tenants' views.

Streszczenie:

The dissertation explores the financial ramifications of US military base closure on local community real estate property values. The dissertation examines an area that has not received sufficient research. Previous works on military base closure by Bradshaw, Kroll, Corley, Kirshenbaum and Harlan (1995); Dardia, McCarty, Malkin, and Vernez, (1996); Hooker and Knetter (2001) and Krizan (1998) examine more generalized economic factors such as employment and macroeconomic activity. More recent published dissertation work by authors Hall (1998) and Poppert (2002) have provided interesting explanatory hypotheses to assist municipal and state leaders in crafting working plans to assist communities where base closure occurs. This dissertation intends to look into the effects on real estate property values in the wake of military base closures. The dissertation expands the study of base closure effects into a relatively new area on the fluctuation of real estate property values. An enhanced understanding of how military base closures affect real estate values will have implications for real estate investors, developers, city and county government planners, and budget directors from local school districts to state government.

Streszczenie:

This research has attempted to better understand property crime victimization by studying the important role of community structures, while controlling for the following demographic variables: age, gender, race, and income. Three different types of analyses were used: (1) bivariate analysis; (2) multivariate analysis, and (3) path analysis. Bivariate analysis was used in order to gain a better understanding of the following zero-order relationships: (1) the relationship between the structural characteristics of communities and property crime victimization; (2) the relationship between the structural variables and the mediating variables--guardianship and neighborhood cohesion; (3) the relationship between guardianship and property crime, and (4) the relationship between neighborhood cohesion and property crime. Most of these relationships were found to be in the expected direction.

The multivariate analysis was conducted by running three separate regression models. Model 1 included only the structural variables of community size, racial heterogeneity, and residential mobility. In Model 2, demographic variables were added in order to see how this addition would impact the effects of the structural variables on property crime victimization. Model 3 included both the structural and the demographic variables, along with guardianship and neighborhood cohesion. This additional regression model was used in an attempt to discover the effects of guardianship and neighborhood cohesion on property crime victimization.

Path analysis was used in order to find out the direct and indirect effects of the structural and demographic variables on property crime victimization.

Many of the findings of this research were not consistent with past research. There appears to be other important factors which were not included. For example, guardianship and neighborhood cohesion did not mediate the effects of the structural and demographic variables. The thesis concludes with alternative explanations for these and other inconsistent findings.

Streszczenie:

The protection of traditional and Indigenous cultural production and resources is of critical concern not only to the groups involved but also to the international trading community for which these resources are of increasing economic importance. This thesis examines the basis for “community” approaches to autonomy and legal capacity, the conflict with intellectual property models, the current international discussions towards protection conducted by the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) Intergovernmental Committee on Intellectual Property and Genetic Resources, Traditional Knowledge and Folklore, and additional sources for protection at international law (including environmental instruments and human rights frameworks). The thesis asserts that the current emphasis on intellectual property law is an inadequate framework to address the fundamental object of protection for the communities themselves – the management of traditional use, as well as the biological and cultural sustainability of this use. In order to give effect to an international legal model, it is necessary to generalise “community”, but this process is countered by the practical emphasis upon the locally specific application of this model. This is achieved through an examination of the commonalities that allow such generalization which may in turn be adapted at the level of the local community. The thesis recommends sui generis protection and sets out a model international framework based on the principle of “community resources” that is developed throughout, recognising the unique claims embodied in traditional knowledge, incorporating customary law, and facilitating community management of resources.

Streszczenie:

This research is a response to suggestions by the various European Community (EC) institutions that differences between the property law regimes of the various member states represent an obstacle to further European integration. The EC is itself a legal entity having legislative powers. Within its areas of competence it legislates on many social and economic issues and its legislation is binding in the legal systems of its fifteen member states. However, EC legislative powers are said to be ‘attributive’ in that sovereignty ultimately resides with the members states. The EC is therefore only competent to legislate in areas where the member states have invested it with the necessary powers. Specifically, in the context of this research, the EC has no competence to legislate on matters related to property law. Article 295 of the EC treaty (former Article 222) states that law-making powers in these areas remain with the member-states. The research examines the suggestion that certain features of some national property law regimes are in conflict with the social and economic aspirations of further European integration and investigates the regimes of the fifteen member states in this context. It adopts a comparative law methodology and seeks to identify similarities and differences between the various regimes. The methodology utilises an expert from each of the states to produce a collection of national reports which are then analysed within the thesis.

Streszczenie:

On the background of growing privatisation of resources, of the incapacity of both private and public forms of arrangements to protect them, other forms of governing the resources and building welfare are emerging. This dissertation questions the emancipatory role of property under the current circumstances: under which conditions can property be emancipatory? My hypothesis is that the different ways of owning currently being experimented by many practices as the rising discourse on the commons for example, in alternative to private and public forms of property- suggest the possibility of a third turn of the relationship between property and emancipation. Beyond the exclusivity of private property, beyond the redistributive logic of the public though not implying the obscuration of these two models. The Community Land Trust, officially established in Brussels in 2013 (CLTB), is an example of those practices and the case study of this dissertation. My thesis is that the architectural and urban project have a paramount role in realising the form of governing resources aka property- implied in that model. The double engagement as an activist in Commons Josaphat and as an architect contributing to the realisation of one of the first projects of the CLTB Le Nid- allowed me to develop an ethnographic approach, which in fact proved to be essential in order to address the topic of emancipation. The immersed position allowed me to seize the thick fabric of relationships and the accumulation of capacities which led to the establishment of the CLT in one of the poorest municipalities of the Brussels Capital Region, as an answer to an unsolved housing question, unbearable in particular for numerous and low income households. It allowed me to learn about the values, rights and needs of the involved inhabitants and local actors and to reconstruct a history of emancipation of a whole community, one among many possible others. At the core of the CLTB, I argue property is reconceived beyond the right to access: on the base of the recognition of the right and capacities of the concerned communities to decide, to take care and to govern the resources they need for the fulfilment of their basic needs, for the development of their life strategies. In other words, for their emancipation. The other side of the right to decide and of recognition is responsibility. Responsabilization being in this case a collective endeavour and not an alienating process, condemning individuals to rely only on la propriété de soi. By referring to my direct implication in the design process of the project Le Nid, I argue space matters and the project as a process -as a unique characteristic of the Belgian form of CLT-has a paramount role in envisioning what the jurist Steiner would define the set of compossibilities: by assembling compatible needs and rights; by redefining them in relation to the spatial limitations; by balancing the spatial configuration with the actual capacities of the inhabitants and concerned communities to take care of their living environment and resources. On these grounds, because of a project centred on the concrete capacities of the concerned communities to contribute to the common good, property would be emancipatory: being about the right to decide and recognition as much as about responsibility and the long term protection of resources.

Religion and post-communist transition are two of the many issues that have earned attention of economists and social scientist in the recent decades. This dissertation collects three papers dealing with different issues concerning religion and the transition. The first one attempts to assess the role of religion in the transition and its impact on country's success in this process; it also outlines opportunities for research in this field. The second paper tries to uncover the role of religion in formation of economic and social attitudes of the people in post-communist countries. Both papers conclude that religion matters; Western Christianity appears to be more compatible with market economy than Orthodox Christianity and Islam, although these two religions are not necessarily an obstacle. Finally, the third paper deals with religious participation in post-communist countries. It shows that religious behavior is not completely independent of economic conditions and religious revivals in the post-communist era can be interpreted in economic terms.

Thesis (M.C.P.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Urban Studies and Planning, 2004.
Also issued with b&w images.
Includes bibliographical references (p. 205-208).
This thesis asks and answers an important question in the heated debate concerning M.G.L.c. 40B, the state's Comprehensive Permit Law: "Do large-scale, high-density Chapter 40B multi- family rental developments negatively impact nearby single-family property values in suburban Boston communities?" We ask the question because of the widespread belief that one of the strongest motives for resident opposition to 40B projects is the fear that homes values surrounding these multi-family developments will decrease. In an effort to resolve the debate, we design a rigorous research methodology to examine the impact of introducing a large-scale multi-family rental development into a neighborhood of single-family homes. We develop strict case selection criteria that identify nine 40B developments located in eight suburban communities. These case studies represent some of the most egregious, controversial, and dense Chapter 40B developments in the Boston metropolitan area; in other words, a suburbanite's worst nightmare. After selecting the cases, we establish conservative impact areas, which include only the single-family homes mostly likely to be affected by each respective 40B development. Our process for identifying impact areas restricts the boundaries to essentially abutters and immediate neighbors of each of the nine developments. The purpose for carefully establishing such impact areas is to objectively measure single-family home price changes over time as 40B developments are announced, approved, constructed, occupied, and integrated into the resident communities.
(cont.) We use hedonic (econometric) modeling to create comparative house price indexes for each impact area along with an appropriate control area (the remainder of the host community) to determine whether a decrease in home values has occurred over time within such impact areas. The results of all nine case studies conclude that the introduction of large-scale, high-density 40B multi-family rental developments in single-family neighborhoods does not affect the value of adjacent homes. While it may seem reasonable, our findings show that, in fact, the "rational economic" fear of potential asset value loss among suburban homeowners is misplaced. Additionally, we investigate community opposition against 40B developments by examining the comprehensive permitting processes for each case study. The 40B process often fosters an environment where projects are set up for contentiousness, pitting developers and municipalities against one another. The "us versus them" effect of the statute contributes to a process rife with mistrust, conflict, and vehement opposition. It is the authors' hope that this study further informs participants in Massachusetts's affordable housing debate and provides additional insight on some of the dysfunctional consequences of the Chapter 40B statute.

On the 6 of October 2009 the European Court of Justice came with a preliminary ruling in the PAGO case concerning the geographical extent for a Community Trade Mark with reputation within the European Community. The judgment has given rise to a lot of questions. The fact that the ECJ, the Advocate General and Lawyers have different opi-nions on the geographical extent and on the outcome of the case creating big discus-sions on the topic of the necessity of Community Trade Marks. This has given rise to the purpose of this thesis which is to investigate the requirement for having a reputation in the Community according to Art 9.1 (c) CTMR, and analyze the legal consequences and possible threats to the Community Trade Mark system and proprietors of trade marks after the judgment of the PAGO case. This investigation has shown that there are four possible consequences for the CTM system after the judgement. Small countries, such as Luxembourg, are now might seen as a substantial part of the Community, PAGO is now protected within the European Community even in those countries where no one has heard about the brand, companies can obtain injunction in a country without proving reputation there and companies can put all their marketing effort into one country and thereby get protection in the whole Community. The outcome of this case is positive for proprietors of CTMs since it makes it easier for them to gain protection against other actors on the market. The biggest threat for the CTM system is the fact that unclear terms and judgements dis-rupt the Countries within the Community and destroys the harmonization, which the TMD, CTMR and the CTM is trying to build up.

Streszczenie:

The definition of plagiarism that is used in university handbooks is a simple one, and policies along with tiers of disciplinary strategies are used by faculty members in higher education to deter students from committing a plagiarism infraction based on this simple definition. However, plagiarism still occurs on college campuses, and this may be a result of gray areas with regard to different aspects of plagiarism that are not contained in the definition. Because of these misunderstandings, students may commit accidental plagiarism or disagree about what constitutes plagiarism. This qualitative study attempted to discover what aspects of plagiarism are confusing for college students. The data collection method involved personal open-ended interviews with 15 college students of different ages, genders, years in college, and areas of study. The 9 different themes that were brought to the surface as a result of the interviews included findings in the reasons that students justify plagiarism, the levels of acceptability among students, the amount of prior education in plagiarism that students have when they enter college, and specific gray areas such as paraphrasing and common knowledge that the participants discussed as confusing. These findings could be used by faculty and administration in institutions of higher education to aid in formatting new policies and learning activities to help students learn about plagiarism from their own perspective and understand the concepts involved in a better way so that less unintentional plagiarism takes place.

Pełny tekst źródła

Streszczenie:

There is a dominant ideology of property in land law, the ‘liberal model’, in which the rights of the property owner are perceived as being absolute. However, there is an alternative model, the ‘stewardship model’, in which property rights are intrinsically limited by obligations to the community. The community can be understood as having certain claims in respect of privately-owned land. The accommodation of these ‘community claims’ necessitates the imposition of constraints on the rights of the property owner. Whichever model of property is dominant will have a significant impact on the development of constraints on property rights that can accommodate the community claims effectively. Whilst Locke’s theory of property has traditionally been used to support the liberal model, a more holistic reading of this theory indicates a closer resemblance to the stewardship model. As such, its use to support the liberal model should be re-considered. Although various constraints on property in land do exist, the influence of the liberal model has meant that many of these constraints have failed to develop into tools which could accommodate the community claims effectively. In the context of copyright law the community has claims to access and use copyright works that are analogous to the community claims in the context of land. Copyright law has long been influenced by the law of property in land. It is currently being influenced strongly by the liberal model, which is undermining the development of limitations on the rights of the copyright owner which would be necessary to accommodate these community claims. It is suggested that the liberal model is, to some extent, being replaced by the stewardship model as the dominant ideology of property in land. The stewardship model provides a more sympathetic environment for the development of constraints on property rights that could accommodate the community claims effectively. If copyright law adopted the stewardship model as the dominant ideology of property, in place of the liberal model, this would facilitate the development of limitations in copyright law.

This thesis examines the property value impacts of neighbourhood improvements to infrastructure provided by local government. The direct and indirect effects of a revitalization effort are studied in order to determine whether neighbourhood improvement programs generate positive spill over effects (externalities) to surrounding single family homes. These impacts are examined for a number of reasons: (a) property value determination studies have thus far omitted a treatment of detailed neighbourhood infrastructure variables; (b) the literature discussing externalities created by government intervention has either focussed primarily on the negative effects created by federal intervention, been theoretical in nature, or has been empirically inconclusive or contradictory; (c) the implementation of a neighbourhood improvement program in Canada was conceived of as a policy which would protect the investment of housing rehabilitation projects and has thus been expected to create positive neighbourhood effects. The empirical analysis performed in this study examines neighbourhood improvements in general and a neighbourhood improvement program in particular. The Canadian Neighbourhood Improvement Program (NIP) is empirically analyzed using multiple regression analysis. An analysis of covariance technique allows us to test whether neighbourhood improvements have a greater impact on housing values if they were provided in NIP designated areas or in NIP years. The empirical results of this study indicate that there are very few externalities created by the NIP program. In some cases, improvements were found to have a negative impact on single family house prices indicating that some improvements generate a negative effect. In addition, living adjacent to a NIP designated area was found to negatively affect single family house prices in one of the study years. These findings imply that a justification for similar improvement efforts need to be based on something other than property value increases. Policy analysts should consider other economic and non-economic justifications for such efforts before embarking on similar programs.

Streszczenie:

Proliferation of new technologies has greatly increased the complexity of copyright and intellectual property issues faced by higher education institutions. Colleges and universities have an obligation to effectively manage their intellectual assets and minimize institutional liability by ensuring that their faculty, staff, and students have access to informational materials that accurately describe, and promote compliance with, copyright and intellectual property laws and regulations, and are aware of their rights and responsibilities. In order to manage the growing complexity and minimize risk, many higher education institutions are adopting a two-pronged approach: developing comprehensive copyright and intellectual property policies, and providing customized, relevant and highly accessible training on copyrights. Although implementing a copyright policy does not by itself eliminate liability, implementing a well-drafted copyright policy is probably the best insurance against institutional liability, and providing ongoing copyright and intellectual property training is an effective way to reduce the risk of infringement. The policy and training developed must be customized to fit the needs, mission and culture of the institution. Furthermore, the policy and the training must be widely disseminated and accessible. The purpose of this study was to develop a comprehensive Copyright and Intellectual Property Policy and relevant online copyright training for the College of Southern Idaho, a community college in south central Idaho. The policy and online training were based on current intellectual property laws and regulations, and reflect the college's mission, needs, and culture.

This thesis aims at answering two questions under the topic of Harmonisation of Industrial Property Rights Protection Procedures in the European Union. The questions researched are: &ldquo
What are the current systems of Industrial Property Rights protection in the world, in the European Union and Turkey?&rdquo
and &ldquo
Is there a way for Turkey to be included within the EU Industrial Property protection system in the future while still being under the relation of Customs Union?&rdquo
. To answer these questions current systems of Industrial Property Rights protection in the world, in European Union and Turkey is briefly analyzed and following this analysis, a proposal for a closer cooperation in Industrial Property protection system of Turkey with the European Union is given backed up with a comparison of statistical data of EU, Turkey and candidate countries.

Streszczenie:

Community-driven approach to Heritage Conservation has been increasingly discussed internationally. One of the principles in the Charter for the Conservation of Historic Towns and Urban Areas drawn up by International Council on Monuments and Sites (ICOMOS) stated “the participation and the involvement of the residents are essential for the success of the conservation programme and should be encouraged.” (ICOMOS 1987) One of the more well-known bottom-up approaches is Machizukuri from Japan. 　　The origin of Machizukuri in Japan largely stems from the desire of local residents to maintain and develop aspects of their living environment that can otherwise be threatened by external forces. The need to voice out on behalf of their own community is often a relatable trait for various communities all around the world. 　　In the case of Machizukuri, its origin was cast in the backdrop of a post-war Japan, where at first glance the entire country seemed to homogeneously focus solely on modernisation and economic development regardless of costs (Siegenthaler 2004, 3). But as the truth revealed, many local communities—far away from the Japan National Government in Tokyo and its consideration when shaping the country’s urban planning scheme of the time—often differ from the opinions of top-down decision makers on how their own neighbourhood should be developed. 　　When this Japanese concept of bottom-up approach first started, the leaders of these organisations were mainly made up of local non-professional residents, contrasting greatly to the conventional decision makers comprised of scholars and bureaucrats—the “traditional elite”. And yet, despite its modest beginning, after decades of development, Machizukuri is seen as a proven method to effectively solve a wide-range of issues in areas such as planning, heritage conservation, and disaster relief. 　　Over time, the Japan National Government gradually accepted the merits of Machizukuri, eventually incorporating it into national planning law. It was evident that local inputs often improved upon planning decisions made by top-down approach, and thereby increased the chance of successful implementation. 　　After several decades, Machizukuri is recognised as a proven bottom-up, community-driven concept that aimed for the improvement of quality of living through the participation of local citizens of Japan. It represents an important development in local politics and urban management in Japan. The recent citizen movement of Hong Kong, since the 1997 Handover, shared similarities to the situation that led to the creation of the Machizukuri movement in Japan at that time. 　　　　As Machizukuri gradually matures over the past decades, it became fully recognised in Japan and internationally as an effective method to conduct community-driven citizen participation activities. It can be a viable option for Hong Kong to consider as the citizens are exploring bottom-up conservation solutions.

Abstract: Indigenous communities have worked for centuries to develop systems of knowledge pertaining to their local environments. Much of the knowledge that has been directly acquired or passed down over generations is of marketable use to corporations, especially in the pharmaceutical industry. Upon gaining the necessary information to convert traditional knowledge into a marketable entity, the corporation will place a patent on the product of their research and development and reap the monetary benefits under the protection of intellectual property legislation. Without appropriate benefit sharing, indigenous communities are robbed of their cumulative innovation and development and denied access to the very medicines that they assisted in development. This study will examine the efforts made by indigenous communities to develop benefit-sharing agreements under national ‘sui generis’ legislation and the international legislation of the Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS) and the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD).

Streszczenie:

Les droits et actions attachés à la personne se manifestent en des domaines variés. Exceptions à l'action oblique et à certaines règles des procédures collectives, ils constituent également des biens propres dans la communauté légale. Cette hétérogénéité de leur utilisation conduit à s'interroger sur l'existence d'une véritable notion juridique. La comparaison des différentes prérogatives entre elles, rendue possible par l'existence d'enjeux communs, conduit à constater l'existence d'une telle notion. Son identification peut alors être entreprise. Marquée par une subjectivité la rendant difficilement appréhendable, la notion peut pourtant être approchée, précisée et construite.L'étude de l'objet de l'attache à la personne conduit quant à elle à constater l'existence d'une distinction constante entre aptitude à exercer et résultat découlant de cet exercice. Cette distinction, qui se confond avec la distinction du titre et de la finance, permet alors de révéler le domaine réel des droits et actions attachés à la personne. Englobant les droits extrapatrimoniaux qu'ils réunissent au sein du patrimoine, ils apparaissent même à l'origine des droits patrimoniaux non attachés à la personne. Ils conduisent alors à réorganiser l'ensemble des droits subjectifs
The expression “rights and actions attached to the holder” is used in several fields of the private law. Exceptions to the indirect action and to some rules of the liquidation, they are also exclusives properties in the matrimony. This heterogeneity of use leads us to wonder about the existence of a true juridical notion. Its existence can be found by comparing the different prerogatives and their different relations. It is then possible to identify the notion. Even if the subjectivity of the notion can make it difficult to comprehend, however it can be approached, specified and shaped.As for the study of the object of the attach to the person, it leads us to observe the existence of a constant distinction between the ability to exercise and its result. This distinction, that merges with the distinction of the deed and the finance, can then reveal the real domain of the rights and actions attached to the holder. Gathering within the patrimony the extrapatrimonial rights, they even appear to be at the origin of the rights non-attached to the holder and lead to reorganize all subjective rights

When designing educational programme in the field of heritage conservation, community service learning approach may not be the first thing that comes to most heritage conservation educator’s mind. In this study the researcher has engaged in a discussion of the association of community service learning to heritage conservation education. The researcher have tried to make clear why she believe that community service learning, as an innovative pedagogical approach, has important things to say about today’s heritage conservation education. Proceeding from fieldworks, through analysis to explanation, based on direct and participant observations and interviews; two heritage training projects are reviewed to illustrate how community service learning can facilitate heritage conservation education. The researcher hope that other researchers will learn from the study, and educators will be able to critically examine which kind of pedagogical approach is more appropriate for today’s heritage conservation education.

Streszczenie:

Article 15(1) of the Community Trade Mark Regulation states that the Community Trade Mark holder has to put the mark into genuine use in the Community within five years from registration. Even though the regulation does not deal with the extent of use necessary, the Joint Statements uphold that genuine use within one country is enough. However, recent case law from national offices have ruled in the opposite direction, resulting in legal uncertainty concerning how much use that is needed. The courts claimed that use within merely one Member State is not use in a substantial part of the Community and therefore not genuine.This paper shows that it is not satisfactory to define genuine use in the Community by way of analogy to the term substantial part of the territory. The latter derives from the test of reputation concerning a different case entirely. Instead, most indicators point towards a market-oriented approach where national frontiers do not matter. Focus should be on the extent of use being made compared to the market concerned in the entire EU. A case-by-case assessment is required, where all relevant circumstances are taken into consideration.

Streszczenie:

Bangladesh contains one of the richest and largest inland fisheries in South Asia and the third highest inland capture fisheries in the world and has a long history, which continues to the present, of conflict and cooperation between fishers and other diverse fishing interests over access to a range of fishing environments managed under a variety of leasing and tenurial arrangements. Several fishing communities are of ancient origin and over a long period of time have developed and adapted their indigenous fishing knowledge, including technologies, fishing practices and knowledge of diverse fishing environments to manage fisheries in a variety of environmental and ecological conditions. This thesis provides a detailed ethnographic account of one such community, the Koibortta fishers of Krishnapur village in the northeast flood plain region of Bangladesh, focusing on their management practices and indigenous fishing knowledge in selected inland common property fisheries. It examines, using documentary and oral historical sources, the ways in which they have adapted aspects of their indigenous fishing knowledge to changing economic and environmental circumstances over the past 50 years. It also examines, using case studies of three water bodies, how they were able to gain short-term and insecure access to selected water bodies, partly by drawing on traditional social networks at village and multivillage levels to mobilise fishers in negotiations with leaseholders.The thesis argues that these social networks and fishers’ capacity to adapt aspects of their fishing knowledge to new circumstances were insufficient to gain long term, secure and direct access to productive water bodies as fishers lacked strong government commitment to their long term security. The thesis concludes with a discussion of the capacity of Krishnapur fishers to manage fish resources equitably and sustainably.

Streszczenie:

Where parties are married in community of property, debts are incurred by the parties and not by the joint estate. Each spouse is liable for debt incurred by either spouse. A creditor is, therefore, entitled to claim from joint estate of both spouses (as co debtors). Such an estate includes not only the spouse's undivided interest in the joint estate but also any and all separate property that falls outside the joint estate. Once the joint estate is sequestrated, both spouses become "insolvent debtors" and consequently the property (including separate property) of both spouses is available to creditors. The lnsolvency Act, as opposed to the Matrimonial Property Act, makes no provision for the recognition or sequestration of 'separate property". Although an estate is sequestrated, it is the debtor who is insolvent. A debtor (married in community of property) who possesses "separate property" is on sequestration of the joint estate insolvent in relation to both his or her undivided interest in the joint estate as well as any "separate property". But is this correct? Ample provision is made by various statutes for the exclusion of certain property from an insolvent estate. Does this not mean that a debtor might be insolvent in relation to one estate and not insolvent in relation to the other? The estate of a partnership is, for purposes of sequestration, deemed to be a separate entity from the partners' private estates. Where the partnership fails, creditors first have recourse against the estate of the partnership where after any shortfall may be claimed from the private estates of the partners. Although the estates of partners are sequestrated simultaneously with the estate of the partnership, creditors of the partnership may not proof their claims against the estate of a partner and vice versa. Is it just and equitable that a spouse who owns separate property is treated differently from a partner who does not possess a separate estate in law from the partnership estate? A partner only has one estate - a private estate that includes his or her interest in the partnership. It is concluded that despite the judgment of the Supreme Court of Appeal in Du Plessis v Pienaar, a sense of dissatisfaction still prevails regarding the status of separate property. It is furthermore suggested that in view of the lack of provisions in the insolvency Act regarding separately owned property, the said Act be amended to provide for the specific exclusion of separate property from an insolvent joint estate. It is more advisable to provide for the exclusion of separate property from the insolvent joint estate than to provide for the simultaneous sequestration thereof.

Streszczenie:

This thesis will show how patents policies can help the commercialization of inventions in Europe. Our study is mainly based on statistical material contained in the European Patent Office’s (EPO) database of published granted patents. Our study covers 407 granted patents in the field of chemistry and handling & processing in a one period year starting on 2007-12-24 and ending on 2008-12-26.Given the scope of data analysis, we found a tendency to limit the patents post (after) grant to a few states in Europe, mainly to Germany (DE), France (FR), Great Britain (GB), Italy (IT), Spain (ES), The Netherlands (NL) and Sweden (SE). This limitation in time and designated states is an indication that the markets in these states are the most important ones in Europe concerning the fields of chemistry and handling & processing for the applicant of the patent (e.g. the proprietor). In more than 70% of the number of granted patents post grant in our empirical study DE, FR and GB are the designated states. But we also found that in several of the granted patents in our thesis, Austria (AT), Belgium (BE), Switzerland (CH) and Finland (FI) are designated post grant. The numbers of designated states, post grant, in the scope of our thesis are higher compared with earlier studies applying the same method. For example Markus Reitzig’s empirical study that was made in 2004 uses 813 granted European patents, where the designation of DE, FR and GB was more significant and only 4-5 states on average were designated. It is an indication that the European market has extended the last 10 years within the fields of our study. The uniqueness of our empirical study comes from the survey of each of the 407 granted patents when it was filed at the European Patent Office (EPO) and after grant and publishing (post grant), i.e. at the beginning of the life cycle of the patent. As far as we know no earlier studies did so. Concerning our sample of applications for a European patent, the rational is the following. When the application is filed at EPO are all possible states designated, but post grant of the patent only a few state remains. Concerning the selection of the field of patenting, our consideration of data singularises chemistry and handling & processing. Clearly in the field of chemistry we found a marked incremental tendency for the transfer of patents rights. The transfer itself may be an indicator of a change either of industrial process toward R&D or a strategy toward patent policies in this specific field. The thesis tries consequently to evaluate if the EU-patent system will ease the commercialization of inventions in chemistry and handling´& processing in Europe. Especially for SMEs the EU-patent should facilitate a quicker and cheaper process. A general opinion assumes that the European patent application is too expensive for small companies. The process of establishing EU-patent was initiated 30 years ago and it will last another 5 years before it is fully possible to filing. Obviously, legal and political matters are not completely solved but that is not the direct concern of this thesis.

Streszczenie:

The market for community properties is a relatively new market for private investors. Previously, local governments usually owned these properties. The demands for community properties from property companies and institutions have increased over the past 10 years and an increasing number of local governments are selling their properties. One popular type of community property is elderly accommodations. This study aims to provide an overview of the greatest risks concerning elderly accommodations in comparison with office buildings and rental housing properties according to different operators. The study is based on a qualitative approach and information has mainly been obtained through interviews with ten operators. Elderly accommodations are generally viewed upon as a safe segment since they usually have long leases, often with a municipality, which is considered to be a very safe tenant. Investing in such properties is therefore often compared to buying a bond. The view on what is the greatest risk differs between the operators. According to most operators the greatest risk is in the residual value by the end of the lease contract. Yet we have not reached the end of the long contracts since these properties became popular on the market about 10 years ago. The residual value is mostly influenced by the political risk, the location and the alternative use of the property. This differs from office properties that are more dependent on the economic situation and rental residual places that are more dependent on the location than elderly accommodation properties. Research show that there have been changes in what the elderly demand in their living environment. Despite that most operators believe that changes in preferences will not have a substantial impact on the segment and that elderly accommodation properties is a safe product.
Marknaden för samhällsfastigheter är en relativt ny marknad för privata aktörer. Tidigare ägdes fastigheterna oftast av kommuner och landsting. Efterfrågan på samhällsfastigheter från fastighetsbolag och institutioner har ökat under de senaste 10 åren och allt fler kommuner och landsting säljer av sina fastigheter. En populär typ av samhällsfastigheter är äldreboenden. Denna studie syftar till att ge en bild av vilka risker som är de största för äldreboenden i jämförelse med kontor- och hyresbostadsfastigheter enligt olika aktörer. Studien bygger på en kvalitativ metod och information har främst inhämtats genom intervjuer med tio olika aktörer. Äldreboenden ses generellt som ett säkert segment i och med att de vanligtvis har långa hyresavtal, ofta med en kommun vilket anses vara en mycket säker hyresgäst. Att investera i en sådan fastighet jämförs därför ibland med att köpa en obligation. Synen på vad som är den största risken skiljer sig mellan aktörerna. Enligt de flesta är den största risken restvärdet vid kontraktstidens slut. Än har vi inte nått till de långa hyreskontraktens slut sedan äldreboenden blev populära på marknaden. Risken för restvärdet är långsiktig efterfrågan på fastigheten vilket främst påverkas av den politiska risken, läget samt fastighetens alternativanvändning. Detta skiljer sig från kontorsfastigheter som styrs mer av konjunktur och hyresbostadsfastigheter som är mer lägesberoende. Forskning visar att det har skett förändringar i vad de äldre efterfrågar i sitt boende. Trots detta tror de flesta aktörer att förändrade preferenser inte kommer att ha en allt för stor påverkan på segmentet och att äldreboenden är en säker investering.

Issues related to improving community participation and the effectiveness of green economy instruments are central to current debates regarding progress towards sustainable development. Information technology, such as Geographic Information Systems, may be able to play an important role in addressing these challenges. In this study an experiment with introducing geospatial technology was conducted with four rural communities at different levels of engagement with institutional frameworks of payments for ecosystem services in Chiapas, Mexico. The purpose was to examine the impacts of such an intervention and evaluate whether it had the potential to enhance collective understanding of natural resource management practices, lead to better shared decisions and enhance community social capital. By exploring the outcomes it was also possible to assess the conditions that enable or constrain such implementation processes. Five key themes (i.e. social structure, IT skills, participation in development, external relations and power structures) were identified in an evaluation framework informed by actor-network theory concepts, and these guided the collection of evidence and data analysis. The results indicated that all of these factors had some influence over the success of geospatial technology analysis transfer, with community political decisionmaking processes and previous involvement of external agents in local natural resource management activities being of particular importance.

Streszczenie:

Ethnic minorities in Hong Kong are usually ignored. However, their participation and contribution in the Hong Kong history are not negligible. There are a group of Thai settled in Kowloon City for decades. And because of their existence, Kowloon City is known as the “Little Thailand” in Hong Kong. By understanding this group of people through their history and development, one can recognize that they are very special to Hong Kong. With the removal of the Kai Tak International Airport, Kowloon City is now under re-development pressure. The Thai, which has been settling in the area since 1970s, may face the risk of losing their living places. It can be seen that some Thai stores and restaurants have already been closed or moved to other areas due to the increasing shop rents over these few years. It is crucial to record their significances in Kowloon City before this unique culture vanishes. Kowloon City is an area with a very characteristic historical background and setting. The area is famous of its dense streets forming a fish-bone shape, with Nga Tsin Wai Road as the main street which connects all other streets together. Kowloon City is a place for different styles of food. There are oven 200 restaurants which many of them are in Thai style. As a result, Kowloon City is also called “Little Thailand”. Thai is one of the ethnic minority groups in Hong Kong. The 2011 Hong Kong by-census report showed that about 14,000 Thais living in Hong Kong, making up around 2.9% of the total non-Chinese population, and about 0.2% of the total Hong Kong population. Most of them live on the Kowloon side, with the majority in Kowloon City and Kwun Tong1.Many Thais live and own restaurants and stores in Kowloon City. Due to the Kai Tak Airport nearby, the height of buildings in Kowloon City is limited. With the demolishment of Kai Tak Airport, the area is under re-development pressure. Developers start to purchase old buildings for high rise modern buildings and the rents of shops significantly increase over these years. The Thais who used to base around the area are under threat of moving to other areas, and the characteristic of “Little Thailand” may start to vanish. The objective of this dissertation is to understand the Thai community in Kowloon City, document their activities, identify their character-defining elements and values and study their potential challenges. The study area is focused on South Wall Road, which has a high density for Thai-related businesses and activities. This dissertation aims to study the tangible and intangible character-defining cultural heritage elements of the Thai community at Kowloon City. To achieve this research goal, it is essential to understand the place and the community’s origins, history and culture. However, given the limited time, it is not possible to carry out a comprehensive research of the Thai community in the entire Kowloon City. Instead, the research must limit its scope by focusing on a small but representative study area within Kowloon City. The purpose of this is more about demonstrating the research process through a smaller study area so as to set a “template” for future research that extends to other study areas at Kowloon City. This dissertation adopts the research methodology of cultural mapping for documenting the tangible and intangible assets of the area in order to better understand the place and its culture, and focuses on the area with more Thai-related activities in Kowloon City. South Wall Road, which is chosen as the study area, is one of the major streets for Thai activities including shops and restaurants, and festivals. By conducting field studies and interviews, the lives of the Thai and their unique cultures can be recorded and understood. --------------- ------------------------------------------------------------ --------------- ------------------------------------------------------------

As the population increase in the greater Taipei area, the real estate prices shoots sky high, causing difficulty for buying an apartment, the government as well as real estate developers have developed a new town programme in suburbs, and provided a large number of residential units, so as to meet the essential inhabitancy requirement for people. Most of such kind dwellings belong to the large-scale amalgamated dwellings in block-type, or block-type amalgamated dwellings surrounded by several bases, whose characteristic is large population living and ethnic diversity. Therefore, how to achieve a efficient, energy-saving and manpower saving management mode that becomes an important topic. Building operation and management plays a key role during its life cycle, and over the years, our country’s building property management focused on access control security, cleaning and maintenance as well as equipment operation management, with most of its management objects being buildings within a single base. As for neighboring building bases within new towns or redistricting areas, because they together have large public spaces, we need introduce the superblock-type cluster management concept, to maintain the feature of new town development. Moreover, the cluster management mode also could save manpower allocation, and improve the overall residential quarter security. On that account, this Study takes amalgamated dwelling base development in new town area as its study object, through empirical research method to make interview investigation on separate building, and record the base’s management mode, manpower allocation, appropriation expenditure and other data one by one, for the comparison analysis of block-type cluster management. The results indicated that, the block-type cluster management mode not only could significantly reduce labor costs, but attract attentions on various kinds of public space maintenances as the extending management scope, which, thereby substantially upgrades dwelling quality, and create superblock-type amalgamated dwelling’s environmental value.
