Digital Preservation addresses a significant threat to our cultural and economic foundation: the loss of access to valuable and, sometimes, unique information that is captured in digital form through obsolescence, deterioration or loss of information of how to access the contents. Digital Preservation has been defined as “The series of managed activities necessary to ensure continued access to digital materials for as long as necessary” (Jones, Beagrie, 2001/2008). This thesis develops a conceptual model of the core concepts and constraints that appear in digital preservation - DePICT (Digital PreservatIon ConceptualisaTion). This includes a conceptual model of the digital preservation domain, a top-level vocabulary for the concepts in the model, an in-depth analysis of the role of digital object properties, characteristics, and the constraints that guide digital preservation processes, and of how properties, characteristics and constraints affect the interaction of digital preservation services. In addition, it presents a machine-interpretable XML representation of this conceptual model to support automated digital preservation tools. Previous preservation models have focused on preserving technical properties of digital files. Such an approach limits the choices of preservation actions and does not fully reflect preservation activities in practice. Organisations consider properties that go beyond technical aspects and that encompass a wide range of factors that influence and guide preservation processes, including organisational, legal, and financial ones. Consequently, it is necessary to be able to handle ‘digital’ objects in a very wide sense, including abstract objects, such as intellectual entities and collections, in addition to the files and sets of files that create renditions of logical objects that are normally considered. In addition, we find that not only the digital objects' properties, but also the properties of the environments in which they exist, guide digital preservation processes. Furthermore, organisations use risk-based analysis for their preservation strategies, policies and preservation planning. They combine information about risks with an understanding of actions that are expected to mitigate the risks. Risk and action specifications can be dependent on properties of the actions, as well as on properties of objects or environments which form the input and output of those actions. The model presented here supports this view explicitly. It links risks with the actions that mitigate them and expresses them in stakeholder specific constraints. Risk, actions and constraints are top-level entities in this model. In addition, digital objects and environments are top-level entities on an equal level. Models that do not have this property limit the choice of preservation actions to ones that transform a file in order to mitigate a risk. Establishing environments as top-level entities enables us to treat risks to objects, environments, or a combination of both. The DePICT model is the first conceptual model in the Digital Preservation domain that supports a comprehensive, whole life-cycle approach for dynamic, interacting preservation processes, rather than taking the customary and more limited view that is concerned with the management of digital objects once they are stored in a long-term repository.

This report asks the question how to balance thepreservation of cultural built heritage against other publicand private interests in local planning. The aim of the studyis to contribute to knowledge about how different actors valuethe built heritage and how they interact in planning. The studydiscusses how this knowledge can be taken into account inplanning practice. As society develops further into a knowledgesociety, the valuation of local environmental qualities seemsto be more complex than during previous decades. For thatreason the maintenance of cultural built heritage is moredifficult to handle than before. The planning process has bytradition been characterised by a strong public sectorinvolvement and by strict procedural links to the regulationsystem. However, private initiatives have come to play anincreasingly important role in the planning process. Thesechanges have led to a situation where decision-making becomesinformal. The question is if planning functions in such waythat all values represented by different interests areconsidered carefully when decisions are made for preservation,renewal or change of the builtenvironment. There are reasonsto question the notion of citizen representation by localpoliticians and experts of various kinds. The theoreticalfoundation for the study is economic valuation theory, andespecially environmental economics, in combination withnegotiation theory and planning theory. These theories are usedas a starting point for an analysis of different actorsunderstanding of the cultural built heritage, their incentivesfor participating in planning, and, hence, for understandingthe interaction which determines preservation practice.Empirical findings are based on a case study of planning andheritage management in the municipality of Umeå. Itincludes studies of five recently completed planning processesconcerning specific real estate properties, as well as, aquestionnaire directed to a random selection of 1000inhabitants in the municipality. The study concludes that theoutcome of planning to a substantial part is depending of theinteraction and relations between the stakeholders, and, hence,structured by what has developed as the intellectual traditionand context of the city. The study shows that the builtenvironment seen as a public good in general is not fullyacknowledged and understood. Consequently, the private goodcharacteristic of the built environment is stressed inplanning, not only by private actors, but also by the publicsector. Furthermore, the study concludes that one importantissue in the management of the cultural built heritage is todraw on the actorsincentives for preservation, hence,paying more attention to the question of future direct andindirect use of the built heritage. An actor who primarilyfocuses on existence value runs the risk of being situated inthe margin of planning, with no real influence on decisionsconcerning heritage management.

La rénovation des infrastructures vieillissantes est cruciale face aux défis écologiques et sociétaux contemporains. Conçues pour une durée de vie définie avec une maintenance préétablie, ces infrastructures atteindront leur limite opérationnelle dans les prochaines décennies. Leur vieillissement entraînant une augmentation des coûts de rénovation, face aux contraintes budgétaires, leur futur soulève de nombreuses interrogations. Dans le secteur ferroviaire, notamment pour les lignes de desserte fine du territoire, se pose le dilemme de savoir s'il faut accepter leur dégradation ou investir dans leur rénovation. Le modèle de gestion de ces infrastructures, qui sépare les logiques d'investissement et celles de maintenance, montre ses limites face à ce tournant patrimonial.Dès lors, cette thèse, menée au sein de SNCF Réseau, vise à explorer une rationalisation de la rénovation qui serait en cours et qui irait vers une rénovation conceptive, innovante, frugale et durable. Cette thèse montre que la frugalité est obtenue au travers d'une activité inattendue, de conception de preuves constructives. Elle décrit l'organisation mise en place pour la conception de telles preuves, et établit qu'elle permet une innovation préservatrice avec une gestion de la propagation pour la validation. Enfin, cette thèse modélise cette conception de la rénovation en s'appuyant sur une approche toposique, afin d'accompagner la conception de preuves constructives. Ainsi, cette thèse révèle un nouveau modèle d'action, un régime de création préservatrice pour une rénovation frugale, qui permet de penser l'existence des objets sans séparer conception et maintenance. Ce régime de conception cultive une forme de renouvellement des savoirs, d'utilisation des savoirs existants et d'innovation préservatrice très paradoxaleThe renovation of aging infrastructures is crucial in the face of today's ecological and societal challenges. Designed for a defined lifespan with pre-established maintenance, these infrastructures will reach their operational limit in the coming decades. As their ageing leads to increased renovation costs, their future raises many questions in the face of budgetary constraints. In the rail sector, particularly for local rail lines, the dilemma is whether to accept their deterioration or invest in their renovation. The management model for these infrastructures, which separates investment from maintenance, is showing its limitations in the face of this patrimonial turn.This thesis, carried out at SNCF Réseau, aims to explore a rationalization of renovation that is underway and that would move towards a design-driven, innovative, frugal and sustainable renovation. This thesis shows that frugality is achieved through the unexpected activity of designing constructive proofs. It describes the organization set up to design such proofs, and establishes that it enables preserving innovation with propagation management for validation. Finally, this thesis models this renovation design using a toposic approach, in order to support the design of constructive proofs. Thus, this thesis reveals a new model of action, a creative preservation regime for frugal renovation, which allows us to think about the existence of objects without separating design and maintenance. This design regime cultivates a highly paradoxical form of knowledge renewal, utilization of existing knowledge and preservative innovation

In 1851 and 1866, Alexander Dunlop, a free black living in Williamsburg, VA, purchased tombstones to commemorate the lives of his father-in-law, Robert F. Hill, and of his wife, Lucy Ann Dunlop. Such purchases were rarities among Virginia’s free black community, and these particular gravestones are made more significant by Dunlop’s choice of text, his political advocacy, and the racialized rhetoric of the period. Buried by a white church in the 1920s and later by the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation, the tombstones were rediscovered in 2004 and became the center of a long-term conservation initiative, which ended in 2016. This thesis examines the story of the tombstones, contrasting them with other regional memory projects, such as the remembrance of the Civil War dead and the erection of monuments to the Lost Cause. The research utilizes a fusion of object biography and micro-historical approaches that allows the strength of each approach to be adopted while rejecting some of their limitations. Data from a regional survey of nineteenth-century cemeteries, historical accounts, literary sources, and the visual arts are woven together to explore the agentive relationships between monuments, their commissioners, their creators, their viewers and the ways in which memory is created and contested and how this impacts the history we learn and preserve.

This thesis is about the heritage in Vientiane. In an attempt to go beyond a more traditional descriptive approach, the study aims at bringing forward a discussion about the definition, or rather the multiplicity of definitions, of the concept of heritage as such. The unavoidabe tension emanating from a modern western frame of thought being applied to the geographical and cultural setting of the study provides an opportunity to develop a criticism of some of the assumptions underlying our current definitions of heritage. For this particular study, heritage is defined as to include stories, places and things. It is a heritage that is complex and ambiguous, because the stories are parallel, the definitions and perceptions of place are manifold and contested, and the things and their meaning appear altered, depending on what approach to materiality is used. The objective is not to propose how to identify and manage such a complex heritage. Rather, it is about what causes this complexity and ambiguity and what is in between the stories, places and things. In addition, the study aims to critically deconstruct the contemporary heritage discourse, which privileges material authenticity, form and fabric and the idea that heritage values are universal and should be preserved for the future and preferably forever. In Laos, Buddhism dominates as religious practice. In this context, the notion of material impermanence also governs the perception of reality. Approaches to materiality in Buddhism are related to the general ideas that things are important from a contemporary perspective and primarily as containers for spiritual values, that the spiritual values carry the connection to the past, and that heritage is primarily spiritual in nature and has little to do with physical structure and form. By exploring the concepts of restoration, destruction and consumption in such a perspective, we understand that preservation and restoration are active processes of materialisation. We also understand that destruction and consumption are necessary for the appreciation of certain heritage expressions, and that heritage is being constantly created. With this understanding, this book is an argument for challenging contemporary western heritage discourse and question its fundamental ideology of preservationism.

Drawing from ongoing revitalization initiatives in Richmond, Virginia, this adaptive reuse project creates a structured dialogue between public and private expression to create a more immersive gallery experience for viewer and practitioner. The gallery experience is twofold; traditional object-based display and nontraditional process-based display. Preservation of the historic fabric of the existing Handcraft building at 1501 Roseneath is integrated with the transformative potential of introducing voyeuristic opportunities in creating a community arts center. Notions of voyeurism will center around ideas of visual connection and physical separation. This project questions if tactics of voyeurism, which inherently create physical barriers, can facilitate interaction and encourage co-creation in a creative setting. Structured moments of intimacy and control are accomplished through presented and found views of movement, object, and process. These moments of intimacy and control create a conceptual reciprocity which guides the design of this project. Ultimately, the redesign creates a dialogue between the process of making and the final product/object by facilitating interaction between the viewer and practitioner through different points of the creative process. The project moves away from exploiting the site’s formal, historical, and contextual components and encourages the audience member to engage with the maker through a corporeal, experiential encounter. The environment becomes a catalyst for cross-disciplinary creativity on an individual, group, and community level. The development of spaces that engage the creative mind and foster collaborative growth will serve the Richmond arts community and can act as an icon for successful urban transformation.

The purpose of this thesis is to broaden and deepen the understanding of the urban regeneration and demolition processes taking place in Swedish cities between the 1940s and 1960s. Special attention is placed on how past and present layers of the city were used, conceptualized and legitimized by influential actors within the framework of urban governance. This is done by studying the function of the open air museum Old Linköping, formed in the 1940s aiming to preserve old houses through relocation, and the role of its administrative organ the Valla Board. The study departs from theories of urban spatio-temporal identity production, urban regime analysis and actor influence, employs the method of qualitative thematical content analysis, and covers the timespan 1944–1967. The research questions concern how Old Linköping’s function is described, legitimized and related to Linköping’s urban identity and urban regime; how processes of preservation, demolition and modernization are related to this function; the role of the Valla Board and its key actors within Linköping’s urban regime; and how the function of Old Linköping and Linköping’s urban regime changed during the studied time in relation to the national development of urban planning. The study shows that Old Linköping was assigned a broad societal function which became a positive identity-marker for Linköping, and a desirable incentive for the urban regime as it brought together several agendas. The objective of preservation became a legitimate part of this function through a focus on practical use and future value of the houses, and adherence to the consensus of modernization. The role of the Valla Board and its central actors, the initiator Lennart Sjöberg in particular, emerges as crucial for this process, and to the stability of the regime. Despite external contestation in the 1960s, the function of Old Linköping and the urban regime remained stable during the studied period. Its function, contestation and surrounding urban regime aligns with, but also nuances the general development.

MOTIVATION
Two main groups in American society today are floundering: adolescent children of low income families and the elderly.
Between the hours of 3:00 and 6:00 p.m., one in five children are unsupervised. Left to their own devices, many become involved in negative behaviors such as drug and alcohol abuse, sexual activity or in the worse cases, delinquency (Afterschool Alliance, 2016). It is proven that when children are alone after school, they not only miss out on valuable learning opportunities, but also their parents are affected as well by having to lose as many as eight work days annually to resolve behavioral issues. In this negative cycle, businesses experience losses of up to $300 billion a year (Afterschool Alliance, 2018).
The other demographic group that is struggling is the elderly. Due to advanced medical care and better education, people are living longer (Singh, A., & Misra, N. 2009). After they retire from the work force, many find themselves with an unstructured routine. Friendships often fade. Connection with family may become less frequent, and it is difficult to form new relationships. These changes in their lives often result in feelings of isolation, loneliness, depression and even death (Singh, A., & Misra, N. (2009).
A solution to these two problems is creating an intergenerational program. Intergenerational programs bring different age groups together to participate in activities and cultural exchanges. Bringing adolescents and the elderly together enriches the quality of life for each. The elderly can bond with youths through tutoring, mentoring, and sharing their life experiences, while gaining social interaction they would otherwise lack. The children can receive individual attention academically and emotionally, broaden their social skills, and benefit from their elders’ life knowledge and experience (Bethesda Health, 2014).
PROBLEM
For every dollar spent, three dollars are saved by increasing kids’ learning potential, improving kids’ performance at school and reducing crime and juvenile delinquency (Afterschool Alliance, 2017). However, under the current administration, funding is going to be cut nationwide by 100% in the 2019 fiscal year. (Afterschool Alliance, 2018). Therefore, it is essential to design a space that is conducive to relationship building, low maintenance and sustainable to reduce overhead and maximize funds for the participants.
METHODS
Methods of research will include peer reviewed literature and case studies. For example, I will study a program founded in Columbia, MD that helps disadvantaged children with at least one incarcerated parent achieve their dreams. I will also study local and regional afterschool programs. I also intend to create a survey for both adolescents and elderly to collect data on attitudes and expectations of intergenerational programming.
PRELIMINARY RESULTS
Intergenerational programs are beneficial to everyone in a community. By participating in such programs, both populations can help each other by understanding and accepting each other’s similarities and differences and learning from one another (Bethesda Health, 2015). They create a safer and more productive society and encourages upward mobility in economically depressed neighborhoods. For a relatively low investment, the return is tremendous. The major challenge of intergenerational programs is funding.
CONCLUSION
The research methods described above will support the design of an intergenerational clubhouse for the immediate community. The space will provide academic, social and values enrichment through supportive mentoring and the use of technology. And equally important, a safe place, security, comfort, trust, respect, and pride.

This research was conducted to seek answers to these questions: 1. To what extent could historic properties in the city represent a place brand image of that city in the early twenty-first century? 2. Could historic preservation be an effective tool for place branding? Contemporary cities in the world fiercely compete with others nowadays, so cities have wanted to distinguish themselves from others. This phenomenon has encouraged cities to use a conventional commercial marketing strategy, branding. When branding is used to promote a place, we call it place branding. If a fundamental aim of place branding is to distinguish one city from another, the notion of place branding would be closely related to the discussion on contemporary historic preservation's role in urban development. The common target market of twenty-first-century cities is talent, who, in turn, will be a magnet for global industry. As the talent tends to seek diverse urban life, cities have actively made efforts to revitalize and market their downtowns. In this regard, historic preservation can help cities retain their unique character and diversity of urban fabric in downtown areas. Consequently, historic preservation can provide cities a foundation upon which they can develop their unique place brands that attract talent. At the same time, historic properties can be used as a marketing resource for place branding. In addition to the theoretical discussion on the potential for historic preservation as a place branding tool, this thesis incorporates an empirical study on relocation guides officially published by Texas cities, including Austin, Houston, Fort Worth, and San Antonio. This study aims to investigate where, how, and to what extent historic properties are represented in the official marketing publications.text

The two fields of historic preservation and sustainable design include many similar
values concerning conservation, yet produce buildings that ultimately look and perform
differently. Historic preservation relies on the maintenance of traditional materials to ensure
that historic buildings are preserved for future generations. Sustainable design typically
works with new construction to create buildings that have little negative impact on the
environment. The similarities yet separateness that exist between historic preservation and
sustainable design provide a compelling platform to ask how we can combine the two fields
within one building project. The combination of these two felds is currently being explored
in post-Katrina New Orleans, and I am asking how we can combine historic preservation
with aspects of sustainable design to create a sustainable preservation hybrid, or fusion
between technological aspects of “green” design with traditional methods of preservation,
that will allow historic buildings to maintain their integrity and achieve the values of
sustainability.
New Orleans provides a great opportunity to examine this question due to the
damage caused by Hurricane Katrina and the ensuing efforts to rebuild the city. One specific
area of New Orleans, the historic district of Holy Cross, plays home to two key
organizations involved in the rebuilding: the Preservation Resource Center, which preserves the existing historic housing stock, and Global Green, which builds new, sustainable design
projects. These two organizations work right down the street from one another, yet have yet
to combine their building methods or work together on a shared project. This relationship
between Global Green/sustainable design and the Preservation Resource Center/historic
preservation provides a good opportunity to examine how elements of new sustainable
design can be combined with the traditional methods of preservation in order to achieve a
sustainable preservation hybrid.
I examine the creation of a sustainable preservation hybrid by conducting a literature
review, interviews and site visits, and energy modeling. The literature review reveals that
preservationists and architects involved with sustainable design like the idea of creating a
hybrid, but still lack a thorough understanding of each other’s tacit values. The interviews
reveal how the organizations working in Holy Cross also embrace the idea of a sustainable
preservation hybrid, yet remain somewhat lost as to how to actually create such a building.
The energy modeling then demonstrates which combination of “green” materials from
sustainable design and “traditional” materials from historic preservation combine to create a
building that achieves both the values of sustainable design and historic preservation.
Whether or not we can combine preservation and sustainable design to make a
hybrid poses an original and relevant question in the context of post-Katrina New Orleans
and elsewhere. Since we are currently facing an energy crisis, the conclusions as to how we
can combine these two fields prove how a single, historic building can simultaneously
conserve both environmental and historic resources.text

People could get design inspirations from their past experience and there are also a lot of websites providing inspirations. In the process of transforming from experience to inspirations and to designs, we need to use some methods in design thinking process. There are three goals in the study: to analyze the meanings from personal experiences and then to transform them into design languages; second, to think about how to apply the model of experiential learning cycle to product design thinking. The model could be adjusted from the previous research; third, after modifying the theory of experiential learning cycle, the research will testify the theory by a series of "Preservation" creations. During the process of literature arrangement, the new application model on design thinking is developed from the experiential learning cycle with creative thinking theories. And the role that experience is played in design and the transforming of experience in design are exploded during the process of design creating. The new application model is also verified and revised during the process of design creating. In this study, the theme of the design creation is "Preservation ". The results of the study: first, experience could be disassembled and be composed in different hierarchies in this model (the application of experiential learning cycle on design thinking) . Meanwhile, it is also a continuing experience process which makes design with continuing and accidental properties. The process would be developed to present the original theme. Second, there are four steps in the original experiential learning cycle: concrete experience, reflective observation, abstract conceptualization and active experimentation. But after being applied in design thinking, the boundaries between four steps are found out not very clear. The new four steps are experiencing, recording, analyzing and designing. The new cycle could be seen as translation and understanding between emotion and ration. Experiencing and recording can be classified as emotional area and the other steps can be classified as rational area.

The aim of this research is to identify how industrial heritage in redeveloping industrial areas may be used to contribute to a neighbourhood sense of place. This is examined through case studies, semi-structured interviews and first hand observations. Focus is placed on planning processes and results yielded. This project began with the belief that highlighting a community's heritage, when done effectively, and at a comprehensive scale, will foster a distinct neighbourhood character and sense of place. Based on the literature and research collected, an analysis of the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats associated with incorporating the industrial heritage of South Point Douglas in Winnipeg, Manitoba is provided. Future steps are also recommended. This community was chosen , in part, because of its large supple of underused industrial buildings, its central location, and its historical significance to the development of the City of Winnipeg.

As medicines continue to evolve, as well as our tendency to misuse and abuse them, viruses become more and more resilient. While the flu is largely an inconvenience which at its worst may result in a missed day of work, it bears the risk of returning to the days of old when it was a terminal disease. With the imminent risk of resistant super viruses emerging,New York Cityhas taken precautions to prepare for the worst case scenario. If deemed necessaryNew Yorkhas plans to completely quarantine and isolate the city from the world. This provides us with the perfect opportunity to ask the questionHollywoodhas become fascinated with…How would a city likeNew Yorkfunction and survive in the Apocalypse? The answer is not as simple as waiting out the storm; with limited resources, no access to the outside world and a crippled infrastructure.
What this thesis also aims to experiment with is the notion of not only barely surviving, but the creation of a new way of life; a truly self – sufficient city, perhaps even creating a Utopian society. This can be analyzed with a systems based approach regarding the different scales of life; from the survival of the individual, the function of the physical shells remaining, and finally the development of a Dynamic City composed new communities

As large-scale, modernist urban renewal projects advanced following World War II, residents of Boston’s historic neighborhoods pushed back, asserting the value of the existing built environment and enlisting new strategies, like local historic districts, to mediate change. Over time, these defenders of traditional urbanism changed from relatively conventional 1950s home- and business-owners to more countercultural, back-to-the-city technocrats, the advance guard of a new middle class. Employing previously unexplored government archives and public documents, extensive contemporaneous newspaper reports, and interviews with current and former neighborhood activists, “Home Rule” analyzes historic districting as a social movement, tracing how adherents of this cause mobilized resources to effect the policy changes they sought. While the growth of the historic preservation movement in the interwar South has been well documented, the adoption of preservation planning techniques in the post-war North is less well studied.
The first chapter investigates the effort to create the first historic district in the urban North on Beacon Hill, a campaign that took place against the backdrop of a destructive urban-renewal project in the nearby West End. A neighborhood association spearheaded the effort, carefully building support, consistent with the consensus culture of the 1950s. The chapter also examines the expansion of the district and challenges to its authority. The highly contested movement to designate the Back Bay occupies the second chapter, pitting a powerful mayor and his deep-pocketed allies determined to insert high-rise towers in a historically low-rise area against a large and well-heeled neighborhood association. The third chapter examines the drive to create a statutory Landmarks Commission to regulate historic resources citywide. The chapter also explores two attempts to designate historic districts after the creation of the new agency, one effort on Ashmont Hill that failed and another in West Back Bay that succeeded. The movement to designate three contiguous historic districts – the St. Botolph Street area, Bay Village, and the South End – constitutes the fourth and last chapter. These efforts exemplify the rediscovery of urban life by an educated, progressive middle class who negotiated with various ethnic and racial minorities, transformed the city, and reinvented urban renewal.2018-08-11T00:00:00Z

From the urging need to promote environmental awareness, the
Gamers4Nature (G4N) project aims to encourage the active participation of
upper-secondary and undergraduate students in the creation of mobile games,
as a way to promote behaviour change, fostering knowledge about the
environment and enhancing students’ engagement with the addressed themes.
Bearing in mind students’ motivation to create their own games and that not all
potential game developers will be familiar with the process of creating a game,
the G4N research team developed a Toolkit to Game Design (a physical
artifact) encompassing a set of resources to support the game creation
process: a set of cards addressing game elements, multiple sets of cards
addressing environmental themes, and a Rapid Game Design Document.
As an extension of the physical format, the G4N research team developed a
portal-repository (digital artifact) designed to establish a connection between
these two formats, aiming to act as the project’s online presence and a
repository to host its materials, outcomes and games created within the
project’s scope.
Concerning the G4N Toolkit, its plasticity, namely from the thematic cards,
promotes the creation of new resources regarding other environmental
location-based themes. In the context of partnerships with other entities (e.g.
environment-related entities, schools), the role of creating and inserting the
cards' contents lies with the partner entities, which often do not have design
skills. As a result, some design problems arise from these circumstances,
leaving it to the G4N research team to correct mistakes that disregard design
principles and G4N brand guidelines.
Based on this premise, this research defined, designed, developed, and
evaluated a digital tool, integrated into the G4N portal-repository, to allow other
entities to produce their own physical resources (i.e. thematic cards) for the
G4N Toolkit, according to the project’s brand and identity. The tool was
designed to be intuitive and reduce the user’s learning curve and cognitive
load, based on the needs of teachers and environmental organisations staff.Partindo da necessidade urgente de promover a consciencialização ambiental, o projeto Gamers4Nature (G4N) visa encorajar a participação ativa de alunos do ensino secundário e superior na criação de jogos digitais, transmitindo conhecimento sobre o meio ambiente e motivando o envolvimento dos alunos com as temáticas endereçadas. Tendo em conta a motivação que os alunos têm para criar os seus próprios jogos mas com a preocupação de que nem todos os potenciais criadores estarão familiarizados com o processo de criação de um jogo, a equipa de investigação do projeto G4N desenvolveu uma Toolkit to Game Design (um artefacto físico) que engloba um conjunto de recursos para auxiliar o processo de criação de um jogo: um conjunto de cartas sobre os elementos de jogo, múltiplos conjuntos de cartas que abordam temáticas ambientais e um Rapid Game Design Document. Como extensão do formato físico, a equipa do projeto G4N desenvolveu um portal-repositório (artefacto digital) que, além de pretender estabelecer uma ligação entre os dois formatos, tem como objetivo atuar como a presença online do projeto e como repositório para os materiais, resultados e jogos criados no âmbito do projeto. A plasticidade da G4N Toolkit, nomeadamente das cartas temáticas, promove a criação de novos conjuntos de cartas temáticas sobre questões ambientais associadas a localidades e realidades específicas. Não obstante, no contexto de parcerias com outras entidades (p. ex. entidades relacionadas com o ambiente, escolas), o papel de criar e inserir os conteúdos nas cartas recai sobre as entidades parceiras, que muitas vezes não possuem competências de design. Neste contexto surgem alguns problemas de design, cabendo à equipa do projeto G4N corrigir erros que desrespeitam princípios de design e as diretrizes da marca G4N. Identificada a necessidade de estabelecer uma estratégia que possibilitasse, simultaneamente, a criação autónoma de cartas temáticas e o respeito pela identidade da marca G4N, esta investigação definiu, concebeu, desenvolveu e avaliou uma ferramenta digital, integrada no portal-repositório. Concebida para ser intuitiva e desenhada com base nas necessidades de professores e membros de organizações ambientais, a ferramenta pretende reduzir a curva de aprendizagem e a carga cognitiva do utilizador.

"Street preservation, revitalization and reconstruction" in recent years, city and county governments to face the issue of Taiwan's historic preservation movement linked to many different aspects of political, economic and cultural context, the "Historic Preservation" cultural movement and localization to integrate the development of local cultural assets and then compared with the local industrial development, the history of the old urban space development as a policy objective and politics. Localization of Taiwan in recent years and have begun to sprout indigenous identity and molding by local people from the local cultural identity impetus to local communities, historic preservation movement has become a medium to re-integrate themselves as "local history space" preservation and the development of local cultural industries benefit local identity with condensation. Especially when the "monuments" is not just single buildings, but distributed a large range of high-profile or controversial very sensitive "historic district", it was significantly out government forces from civil society involvement and motivation it increasingly obvious. Taipei City and New Taipei City Historic District, for example, which contains Bopiliao Street, Danshui Old Street, Dihua Street, Sanxia Old Street, Xinzhuang Street, Yingge Ceramics Street and the recent completion of the pit Street ... and so on, because the streets of both hardware and software resources is different, so in the streets to save on operating practices mutate. The purpose of writing this article is to explore the streets preservation, restoration and revitalization process in the face of the owners (the public sector funders or manager), design and planning unit, to create a construction unit and local residents (local groups, the ground forces , the owner or lessee) Quartet to create a process for the streets of policy practice and thinking of different perspectives, with the coordination of off balance and then continue to complete the final results. This paper will "pit Street" in the repair process, for example, through the construction process of the records, observation, study and analysis of the following phenomena: 1.planning and design process of practice and professional autonomy. 2.the public sector in the implementation of policies, operating practices and difficulties (duration, budget execution). 3.units to create the face of public sector construction, design and planning units and residents in the ground The Role of the tripartite, and implementation strategies to face the real issues (duration, cost analysis) 4.in the ground forces, residents and local participation in intervention effect (vested benefit maximization) The border region in Taipei "pit Street" save process reengineering object of observation by the author of the third point of the opportunity to observe, record and participation in, the associated record of practice and analysis, trying to find Street recycling and the preservation process different software and hardware facilities and the impact of running. "Pit Street" in the refurbishment process prior to being highly commercial density, Ge Dianjia, mobile vendors and tourists to the streets and demand a high degree of usability of the stores or the operator of the power relations are relatively complicated, any policy action will affect and change is very large, the commercial interest for the store at the time and also relates to the use and control of the trust, this part of the streets today can be described as a major problem recycling and observation point. Another pit Street, although the road opened up by urban planning policy implications (zoned design draw roads and private land), but the whole street architecture scales real streets and buildings to save the integrity of the topography has not been much change in, Street overall style well preserved, so the author in order to explore and observe the object.

From 1945 ( the year of Taiwan's retrocession ) to 1970, Taiwan belonged to agricultural society, which gradually transformed into industrial society in 1980s; moreover, after 1990s, Taiwan has developed toward information industry and service industry; financial industry has changed with the influences of external environment, politics, economics, education, and culture; therefore, finance and the society have close relationship. A bank gives guidance and assistance to enterprises and offers an advice for investment with its financial specialty, and utilizes small and medium enterprise credit guarantee fund or uses the tools such as trust to assist the clients to acquire financial capital smoothly. Whether it is big enterprise or small/medium enterprise, they all need effective allocation of resources after obtaining financial capital from the bank, and transform the deposits acquired from the society into the enterprise's financial capital to help the enterprise to expand and have reproduction and benefit the people in the society, and thus create the multiple-win state among bank, enterprise, and the society to reach prosperity . After the business owners of small and medium enterprises work hard to earn money, they must cooperate with financial specialty and financial capital, make use of the thought of investment reacting to new normal conditions and critical situation, and heighten the non-work income's proportion in the income. If there is no financial planning，and just depositing the money in the bank, it's possible that the inflation would consume the purchasing power produced from interest income whether it is NTD deposit or foreign currency deposit. If making an investment in gold, because it has no interest, it would not have the function of maintaining the value except investing at a low point or during the period of inflation. If making an investment in stocks, common fund, or futures options, maybe because of the dramatic variation/ change of the big environment and market fluctuation, it may cause serious loss if hedge is not doing well. At the part of investment in real estate: it is restricted by the laws and regulations of a nation, can not cross the national boundaries, and is often influenced by reformation of laws and decrees or change of dynasty or regime, and thus an irresistible risk is produced. If not taking political risk into account, to invest in real estate, one must invest in a core section of metropolitan area so as to have room for price appreciation; if a person invests in the section at the border area, it may cause loss. The researcher suggested that a business owner should shift partial capital reaped from his or her own industry to the international platform, utilize private bank platform, integrate excellent international bonds and life insurance, cooperate with international financial capital, and plan the framework of inheritance of trust. to scatter the risk of field in this way , and make use of the effect of compound interest to accumulate the wealth with the aid of trust planning, the accumulated wealth can be passed on for more than three generations, and be inherited generation after generation . The conclusion of the analysis of the dissertation was that via financial specialty and financial capital, the bank can assist the small and medium enterprises to create the wealth and do the inheritance of wealth .

Can we design waste? This is a question I seek to answer through the research of design and systems. Waste is an ever evolving and growing issue in our world today. Buildings and the spaces we inhabit contribute to the vast destruction and increasing detriment to our natural world. There are many “remedies” in the construction industry that attempt to regulate building waste and inspire sustainability, but are merely ruses for a much deeper rooted problem than sustaining the way we live. Sustainability is not enough, it simply means we are doing less bad while still perpetuating the problem of waste. Design, architecture, and construction must go beyond this to eradicate the issue; producing “less” waste is not a solution, but a redefining of the essence in which we live is a mandate.
This thesis seeks to explore the conundrum of waste through the lens of design. This thesis will study systems as a tool for waste remediation and regeneration. It will explore and scrutinize both building systems such as HVAC and energy efficiency as well as space making systems, scenario based, environmental, sociological, and economical systems, all which have an important and integral impact on design, our environment, and the human population.
To answer the question, can we design waste, we must redefine our lives and the systems that propel us habitually in the ways we make, produce, work, eat, and live. Moving away from systems of simplicity to those of diversity and complexity. To do this we must re-examine new and existing systems from socioeconomic to the natural cycles of rain water and evaporation. We must re-define the way we live, on all levels, from how we live and what we use to what we actually need to survive happily and harmoniously with ourselves and our planet. The key – Design.

The innovative proposal presented in this business plan consists of a web and mobile application that
enables the creation of a digital memorial of a person’s life. It will allow everyone to remember and
preserve memories of a loved one or friend by gathering key and joyful memories such as photos,
videos and audios, building a family tree, documenting a person's life story in an online space, and
sharing it with family and friends.
Thus, it will enable anyone to eternalize their existence in a private, safe, accessible online space
from anywhere in the world and far from the noise of invasive advertising, such as in traditional
social media nowadays.
The underlying subject is extremely relevant as each year 110,000 people die, on average, in
Portugal and recent research developed by University of Oxford researchers suggests that, between
2050 and 2070, the number of Facebook active users will be exceeded by the number of accounts of
deceased users, amounting to approximately 4.9 billion before the year 2100.
The target market will be people from 18 to 59 years old, social media user, direct relatives of
deceased persons and the typical visitor of a cemetery.
Furthermore, the main revenue stream will be based on a freemium model and its main costs
will be marketing and human resources, particularly for the software development area. Its
prototype is projected to take 6 months to be developed and will be the next step to follow.A proposta inovadora apresentada neste plano de negócios consiste numa aplicação móvel e web que possibilita a criação de um memorial digital da vida de uma pessoa, falecida ou viva. Permitirá a preservação da memória e identidade de um ente querido ou amigo, compilando memórias de sua vida, como fotos, vídeos e áudios, construindo uma árvore genealógica e documentando a história de vida da pessoa num espaço online e compartilhando com a família e amigos. Assim, dará a possibilidade a qualquer pessoa de eternizar a sua existência num espaço online privado, seguro, acessível em qualquer parte do mundo e longe do ruído da publicidade, como é o caso das redes sociais atuais. O tema subjacente é extremamente relevante uma vez que, todos os anos morrem, em média, 110.000 pessoas em Portugal e uma investigação recente desenvolvida por investigadores da Universidade de Oxford sugere que, entre 2050 e 2070, o número de utilizadores ativos do Facebook será ultrapassado pelo número de contas de utilizadores falecidos, totalizando aproximadamente 4,9 mil milhões antes do ano 2100. O público-alvo serão pessoas das faixas etárias entre os 18 a 59 anos, utilizadores de redes sociais, familiares diretos de falecidos e o típico visitante de cemitério. Adicionalmente, a principal fonte de receita será baseada num modelo freemium e as principais rubricas de custos e fatores críticos de sucesso serão o marketing e recursos humanos, especialmente para o desenvolvimento de software. O protótipo funcional está previsto estar concluído ao fim de 6 meses e será o próximo passo.
