für 61.20€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
This study examines the evolution of city-regions, the way they have been planned in the past and emerging approaches. The study focuses on relating planning and governing in an emerging city-region context of the Greater Gaborone City-Region (GGCR) of Botswana with the view to strategizing future planning. Rather than providing a chronological account of events, the study weaves history with underlying planning ideals, theories and practices of the times. The theoretical framework adopted involves the stage urban theory supported by various theoretical perspectives. The study argues that a city-region evolves through four stages. The first stage involves the development of a city. The second stage involves the development of a city into a regional-city . The third stage involves the development of a regional-city into a metropolitan region . The fourth stage involves the maturing of the metropolitan region into a city-region (megalopolis). Urbanists argue that there is a fifth stage of citi-state or city-state (mega- megalopolis)... ····· 10361101433

für 61.20€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
The changing process of land which increases land related activities need to be identified, planned, and controlled. Government through their institutions has played important role in dealing with this issue where land use planning and registration-cadastre are part of it. Since public officials are the major component of government institution, the possibility of misuse the authority is widely open. Further, it can lead to an illicit behavior such as corruption to gain private benefits. This book, therefore, provides a comprehensive analysis to identify the causes of corruption prevails in land use planning and land registration-cadastre process. It also shows the posts of corruption in each process. At the end, this book tries to identify the consequences of corruption for different groups as well as some recommendations that can be used to fight corruption in land related activities. The analyses and findings should be useful to the professionals who are dealing with corruption issues in land sectors and to give the awareness to the involved stakeholders that corruption exist and contribute to different levels of development. ····· 10361101409

Land Registration in Cambodia

This book demonstrates political systems changes in Cambodia which have enabled a strong shift in land ownership and land right particularly after free economy market introduced in 1989. Land for development is a push factor to thrive economic growth, whilst land tenure is pull factor to secure ownership from being abuse by inappropriate development both in rural and urban area nationwide. While the study on sporadic and systematic there has been constraint, weaknesses observed. The observation reveals the practices of sporadic and systematic registration, features, progress, benefit provided regarding gender perspective, cross collective participation a mean to enhancing community solidarity and related laws. On the basis of analysis, the author finds a significant stumbling block to the provision of land tenure security to urban and rural residents through sporadic and systematic registration are largely the result of inappropriate regulatory frameworks, political interest group. Hence, this work should be useful for urban professional groups, suitable for people who intends to study on development in relation to land in developing country. ····· 10361101370

Mass transit effects on urban land changes:

für 61.20€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
Mass transit is probably the most influencing force shaping cities. As straightforward measures between transport and urban land, accessibility and proximity (distance) have direct impact on how land values, land uses and densities thrive or decline in the catchment area of transit corridors. In this book, these variables are analyzed in the case study of the LRT1 in Manila, Philippines. A gravity model built within GIS and applied statistics evidence the influence of accessibility or distance on the variables in time series before and after the LRT1. Three-dimensional GIS helps visualize the correlations found. The results are limited though consistent: accessibility and distance proved to be significantly related to residential land-values, with marginal results for the rest of the variables. The contrast of these results with the urban configuration of Manila and the theory reviewed show the limited impacts found may be consequence of constrained capacity for new development or densification good pre-existing accessibility or lack of complementary plans & policies to profit the potential of transport-induced changes on urban space. ····· 10361101307

Masterplanning the Suburbs

für 71.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
Those who masterplan suburbia such as consent authorities, urban designers, and developers, have long worked in isolation from the opinions of the consumers who inhabit suburbia. This research presents interesting findings from detailed surveys with almost 200 residents across three new masterplanned suburbs in Western Sydney. It engages with overall satisfaction levels, and with attitudes to more specific design aspects like roads, open space, privacy, architecture, safety, the environment and experiences of Community Title. It employs simple statistical analyses to show predictors of consumers` views and values, through their personal data and opinions. This research does not critique the entire experiment that is suburbia, but instead simply tries to spark interest in opportunities to advance the masterplanning practice and built outcomes. The report also engages with some of the theory that influences design outcomes in suburbia. It argues that a lot of design fads are instituted dogmatically, and instead suggests an open-minded and analytical approach to design palettes. ····· 10361101067

Wind Induced Deformation Effect on Elevated RC Cylindrical Empty Silo

für 53.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
This investigation presents the effect of ovalisation of circular cylindrical wall of ground elevated reinforced concrete(RC) silo under wind load using an analytical/approximate and a numerical/finite element model in Abaqus. A few case studies have been carried out using the wind load distribution as per relevant Bureau of Indian Standard(BIS) code of practice. Results obtained from the three dimensional finite element model of the silo clearly support the fact of transverse bending of the silo wall. It also shows that the values of deformation and stresses obtained thus is much on lower end compared to the results of analytical model in bending of silo wall in transverse direction. A critical band /zone of influence has been derived where the effect of ovalisation is found to be significant along the height of the silo wall. The present wok also proposes graphs /charts to derive a modification factor over the values obtained by analytical /approximate method so that the designers may take appropriate measures in the process of designing and detailing of the silo wall under wind load without going for detail investigation of the model under consideration. ····· 10361100885

Our experiences, perceptions and feelings regarding crime and safety affect our every day lives and shape our behaviour, whether this is where we choose to live, the paths we walk home or the people and places we avoid. This research topic chooses to investigate the differences in people`s experiences, their perceptions and feelings about crime and safety, examining how these are affected by situational factors in their locality. The investigation undertakes surveyed, quantitative analysis to establish initial trends across residents in two communities in North Tyneside, namely the estates of Meadow Well, North Shields and Forest Hall Estate, Benton. The findings of the quantitative data sample were then utilised to compile qualitative questions which were presented to two focus group meetings undertaken with residents of each area. The information gleaned from both aspects of the research was used to critically evaluate the urban design of each of the estates, primarily in relation to UK situational crime prevention planning policy. ····· 10361100728

Land use land cover change detection

für 44.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
Land use and land cover change has become a central component in current strategies for managing natural resources and monitoring environmental changes. Urban expansion has brought serious losses of agriculture land, vegetation land and water bodies. Urban sprawl is responsible for a variety of urban environmental issues like decreased air quality, increased runoff and subsequent flooding, increased local temperature, deterioration of water quality, etc. In this work we have taken Rangareddy District, Ghatkesar Mandal as case to study the urban expansion and land cover change that took place in a span of 05 years from 2006 to 2011. Remote sensing methodology is adopted to study the geographical land use changes occurred during the study period. Satellite Imagery- IRS1D, LISS-III+PAN FUSED of two different year are taken into consideration. After image pre-processing, un-supervised classification has been performed to classify the images in to different land use categories. Classification accuracy is also estimated using the field knowledge obtained from field surveys. Information on urban growth, land use and land cover change study is very useful to local government and urban plan ····· 10361100308

Commercialisation of Heritage: How to Get the Balance Right?

für 61.20€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
Tourism, if well planned, can be an important stimulant for the economic and socio-cultural development in an area, while uncontrolled tourism growth is often liable to bring about many complex disadvantages to destinations with heritage significance and jeopardise the integrity of their indigenous cultural identities. This book illustrates this two-sided relationship between tourism development and heritage conservation through examining the impacts of tourism in the context of two comparable locations chosen in the Aegean region with similar characteristics in terms of size, location, historic development, cultural background and built heritage: the historic village of Lindos on the island of Rhodes, Greece and the traditional small town of Alacati on the western coast of Turkey. The primary aim of this study is to highlight the importance of planning in the pursuit to create a mutual relationship between tourism and heritage conservation, and demonstrate how responsible tourism planning can contribute to the establishment of a rational degree for the commercialisation of heritage as an income-generating tourism commodity at places of heritage significance. ····· 1036199937

State Policies and Livelihoods

Rwanda is a small landlocked country of East Africa covering a total area of 26 338 km2. With 450 inhabitants per km2 in 2011, the country has the highest population densities of Africa mainland. Land is scarce, though agriculture remains the mainstay. Therefore human settlements need to be planned to free fertile land for cultivation. Rwandan live traditionally scattered in isolated homesteads on the hill slopes. Rwandan human settlement policy was launched after the genocide against Tutsi of 1994, to accommodate genocide survivors and returnees who had been living in exile since 1959. During Belgian colonial period, experiments of agricultural modernization and human settlements planning were conducted in so-called `paysannats` from 1952 to 1972. Since 2004, to implement the new human settlement policy, people were grouped in large villages `imidugudu`. Today, about 40 percent of Rwandans live in imidugudu. The government objective is to have 70 percent of the national population in imidugudu, and remaining 30 percent in cities by year 2020. The author analyses the impact of the new policy on the livelihood of displaced people from their homesteads to new imidugudu. ····· 1036199491

Water is essential component for sustainable development and poverty alleviation. But due to the high rate of population growth and uncontrolled urban expansion in the towns/cities of developing countries the water supply system is under heavy pressure to meet the growing demand of the communities. The study is an appraisal of the impacts of urban expansion on water supply system in Adigrat town of Tigray national state, Ethiopia. Descriptive research method was employed for the study. Population is growing at fast rate in the town, this is due to increase result from natural growth, rural-urban migration, and high influx of population due from Eritrea and reclassification of rural land to urban use and emergence of new periphery settlements are observed. This phenomena is problematic form the town water supply services. To prevent the emergence of new settlements, establish an integrated legal basis and strengthen cooperative environment with all concerned stakeholders and recharging water by the natural aquifer, construction of additional public water points in the newly developed areas and controlling water loss. ····· 1036199391

Urban Road Efficiency Assessment

für 44.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
The history of Study Road is like it was constructed as a flood protection embankment in the ancient time of Khulna. The people of surrounding area were using that embankment as a walkway from that period. With the increment of population, in 1980 s, the top of the embankment turned into road to meet the travel demand of that locality. The history says that construction of that road was not that much planned. As a result, planning considerations like design standards, capacity, design speed, allowable traffic etc. were absent for it. After construction of Bridge across the Rupsha River, the previous ferry service has laid off which was the mean of communication among south-western part of the country with the north-western regions. Thus, a huge volume of traffic of different types are diverting on that road to access on Bridge. This additional volume is ruining the efficiency of study road. For returning the efficiency status of road with free traffic movement on it appropriate transport planning is necessary. This study was targeted to measure the traffic flow efficiency of study road as also to identify alternative means for enhancing the efficiency of traffic flow. ····· 1036199217

Transformation of Collective Memory

für 61.20€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
In Turkey, one of the main problems of architecture and urban design seem to be the rapid transformation of physical environments, street experiences, and consequently the transformation of collective memory. One consequence of this basic problem can be the loss of the meaning of urban space. This calls for an historical examination of salient features of urban space that compose the collective memory. In this respect, this work aims to explore the changing physical characteristics of the boulevards through examining the transformation of collective memory. To provide empirical evidence for this, the work will study the transformation of collective memory of inhabitants from different age groups about the Atatürk Boulevard, by exploring the changing salient features of urban space and human experiences in space through a period of the last 60 years. ····· 1036199124

Participatory approacches in support of the decision-making processes

für 74.61€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
The book concerns the analysis of participatory practices in support of the decision-making processes. In particular, the research work is based on an important consideration, according to which, traditional participatory processes do not work in practical terms. Indeed, the evolution of the concept of participation reveals that although the implementation of the participatory processes arose from the necessity of strongly criticizing the contemporary society of the 1960`s, nowadays they have been used to reinforce and legitimate the existing power relations. In this conceptual framework, participation is currently analysed and interpreted either as a democratic right or as an instrument to achieve specific goals. From this perspective, the research work intends to interpret the intrinsic ambivalence within the concept of participation through the analysis of a case study represented by the Sardinian Regional Landscape Plan (RLP). In particular, the author proposes a procedural protocol, whose aim is to define a methodological framework concerning the implementation of participatory practices in support of the planning processes at the regional scale. ····· 1036199035

Integrating the Informal Sector in Urban Plans

The presence of the informal sector in towns and cities of the developing world challenges the current urban planning approaches as conflicts of landuse between `planned for` zones and informal zones continue to soar. With informality as a challenge to urban planning, this book analyses the informal sector with informal trade at Sakubva Musika in Mutare: Zimbabwe as a point in case. It therefore gives a balanced assessment of the problem at hand, shedding more light on regulatory, policy, management and spatial planning issues that should inform urban planning with regard to urban informality. Information in this book is of great importance to Local Authorities and Central Governments, academic institutions, development organisations and individuals interested in coming up with solutions towards alleviating poverty in towns and cities of the developing world. ····· 1036198932

Culture for Regenerating Cities

für 44.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
In our contemporary era, the advocacy for culture has been articulated over many fields. Within the era of late capitalism culture is now heavily incorporated in regeneration and image(re-)making strategies of cities. The European Capital of Culture (ECOC) programme has become to serve as a catalyst for urban regeneration goals in cities. Among them, Istanbul is going to be an ECOC in 2010. By that time, Istanbul has a long way to learn from former ECOCs to understand the phenomenon and practice of culture-led strategies in urban planning and development. It is crucial for Istanbul to sustain the long-lasting impact for continuity. The thesis is based on three pillars. First, it examines why cities pursue culture-led strategies in urban regeneration and how culture can contribute to urban regeneration in social and economic terms. Second, it finds out what academics, local authorities and Istanbul 2010 actors can learn from the highly debated cases of Glasgow 1990 and Lille 2004. Third, the theory and analysis of case studies of Glasgow and Lille offers projections for the Istanbul 2010 event and open space for future research on the challenges. ····· 1036198701

The research is based on a systemic approach analyzing the relation between man, vehicle and environment, which is leading to a reflection on the legibility of KDA Avenue of Khulna city, Bangladesh. The environment of the road, including landscape, helps the users in their moving act. That is to say that the surroundings of the road give signs to the user so that he can regulate his behavior through a constant analysis of linear and transversal information he gets in every landscaped sequence. Improving the road legibility with a work on the road beautification contributes to the stability of the man-vehicle-environment system. The aim of this research is to adapt the user s behavior to the route he is moving on and crosscheck their perception through the existing state of affairs and finally there proposed some guidelines to improve the current situation. As the user s behavior is directly linked to the perception of the route, it is essential to make the road more legible in order to induce a change of the user s behavior improving road safety. ····· 1036198628

This book focuses on the main push and pull factors that underlie the relocation process of industrial activities towards outside of Istanbul as well as beyond the provincial boundaries. In order to show this, a case study was conducted in Gebze Organized Industrial Zone (GOIZ) because 1/100.000 scale Environmental Management Plan of Istanbul has determined GOIZ as the potential area where the firms can relocate. The case study covered 37 firms which constitute the total number of firms relocated from Istanbul. Results of the study show that traditional location factors such as transport, site and premises are the most important factors that motivate firms to relocate from Istanbul to the GOIZ. However, contemporary factors are not much explanatory in case of the GOIZ. ····· 1036192404
