Full textAbstract:
Continued citizen participation in the Vancouver Local Area Planning Program (L.A.P.P) is not a new issue. As early as 1973, Vancouver planners documented a commitment to not only produce a plan for a local area, but to initiate an ongoing process that would respond to area issues and facilitate continuous citizen input (Community planning Division, 1973, 10). However, no firm policy establishes continued, effective citizen participation in the Vancouver planning process. Presently, planning staff work with a Citizen Planning Committee (C.P.C.) to create a plan for a local area, but upon completion and adoption of the plan, technical and financial support is gradually withdrawn from the local area. The L.A.P. staff implement and monitor the effects of the plan without formalized citizen's participation. Initially, citizens remain active in the L.A.P. process, but as the major area plan policies are implemented, citizen interest and involvement decreases. When the implementation stage of the L.A.P.P. is reached, concern is often expressed by the local area planner and by the C.P.C. as how to facilitate continued participation in the planning process. The purpose of this thesis is: To Outline A Model For Continued Effective Citizen Participation In The Vancouver L.A.P.P.
In order to outline this model, three objectives must be accomplished:
1) To define a theory of effective continued citizen participation in Vancouver;
2) To evaluate selected Vancouver local areas and determine the effectiveness of participation during the plan creation stage relative to the long term plan implementation stage; 3) To apply effective participation theory and L.A.P.P. evaluation results to Mount Pleasant, a Vancouver Local Area interested in continued citizen participation and monitoring their recently adopted community plan.
The methods to accomplish these three objectives include: a literature review on Citizen Participation; telephone interviews with one planner and one citizen from four selected L.A.P.P's.; and participant observation in Mount Pleasant, where as an intern student, the author of this thesis was involved in developing continued citizen participation in the Mount Pleasant local area planning program.
The literature review, is used to define effective participation. Generally, effective citizen participation in Vancouver should involve four "elements:
1) An advisory level of citizen participation, citizens interact in the planning process, they are not just informed;
2) A civic consultation strategy, city staff respect and facilitate an advisory level of citizen participation;
3) A representative citizen group technique, citizens participate as representatives of a group, not as individuals;
4) An area council structure for the representative group technique, the citizen group receives recognition as an official participant in the planning process.
Further, a model that advocates effective citizen participation must also be adaptable to community variables and facilitate continued components such as access to technical resources.
The results of the telephone interviews indicate that participation was less effective during the long term plan implementation stage than during plan creation stage. Revisions to the L.A.P.P. to ensure effective participation elements could involve planning staff organizing continued citizen participation prior to completing the plan creation stage of the program. In addition, it is advised that planning staff periodically review each local area plan to help ensure continued citizen interest in the planning process.
Participant observation results document Mount Pleasant residents' efforts to organize continued participation, reinforing the earlier conclusion that planning staff need to facilitate an amalgamation of the C.P.C. with an existing community organization that is interested in monitoring their area plan. Examples of other Vancouver local areas and of other urban centres efforts to initiate continued citizen participation give further insight into an appropriate model outline for continued citizen participation in Vancouver's L.A.P.P.
The thesis conclusion synthesizes preceding theory and analysis in a model for effective continued citizen participation within Vancouver. To summarize, the major recommendation of this thesis is:
That the City of Vancouver develop a Recognition Policy for a representative citizen's group existing within a local area that is interested in monitoring the Local Area Plan and in amalgamating with the Citizen's Planning Committee upon adoption of the area plan. This recognition policy must:
1) Reflect our continued citizen participation effective elements;
2) State criteria and procedures for local arta council recognition election;
3) Develop functions and responsibilities of the recognized neighbourhood or area council;
4) Develop responding functions and responsibilites for the City and civic staff. It is hoped that this thesis will initiate concepts, ideas, and further research that will be relevant to future Vancouver L.A.P.P. progress.Applied Science, Faculty of

Full textAbstract:
This degree project looks at the effective methods and principles in planning and design for regenerating public space, especially regenerating public space in residential areas. This regeneration of public space is important, as a way to solve problem of unattractiveness, lack of social interaction and insecurity feeling among people or inhabitants in public spaces in residential areas. In this project, we choose Oxhagen housing area in Kalmar, as the project object. In which, the projects aim to change the Oxhagen from unattractive place to an attractive place which enhance people to have positive social interactions among inhabitants. Firstly, this project begun by collecting the relevant study and theory regarding public space, especially in residential areas. From there, we based this project with proper guidelines and planning principles. Furthermore, to thoroughly consider all practical aspects, this project also studied successful public spaces in residential areas in Scandinavia countries, therefore, the project can learn from the successful projects. The second and third part, the project provides information of the context of the area and situational analyses of the site, Oxhagen in Kalmar. The last important part of this project, we provide the proposal of public space in residential area, Oxhagen. The project based the proposal on the relevant theories and the situational analysis. The proposal are consists of detail plans and other planning suggestions. In the proposal, we focus the planning and design with the concept of accessibility, enclosure, and diversity of activities, as we think these three concepts are the most applicable to the context of Oxhagen. Therefore, the suggestions and proposal are from these three concepts.

Casswell, Rick A. "NORTH VENTURA AVENUE AREA PLAN (DRAFT UPDATE)." DigitalCommons@CalPoly, 2009. https://digitalcommons.calpoly.edu/theses/105.
Full textAbstract:
This professional project provides a much needed draft update to the existing Area Plan for North Ventura Avenue (last amended in 1990), an unincorporated area of the County that falls under the City of Ventura’s sphere of influence. New goals, policies and programs have been provided to supplement the goals, policies and programs of the current countywide General Plan for Ventura County (adopted in 2005). The supplemental goals, policies and programs proposed in this draft update apply specifically to North Ventura Avenue, and account for a pending annexation of the area by the City of Ventura.
The overall aim of this project was to provide the Ventura County Planning Division with a draft update to the existing North Ventura Avenue Area Plan that reflects modern planning practice and theory. Sustainable growth and development for the area are the underlying goals of this proposed draft update. Reducing auto-dependency through the proposed adoption of a ‘mixed-use specific plan’ land use category represents the most pertinent recommendation of this draft update in aiming to achieve sustainable growth and development of the area in the future.

Thesis (M. Arch.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Architecture, 1992.Includes bibliographical references (p. 52-53).
Assuming the need to transform industrial culture, one might begin with an attempt to re-value the industrial environment itself. While mistrusting those practices that left behind derelict sites and structures, we inherit these artifacts with the obligation to improvise new forms on the themes they establish. Reoccupation of an abandoned industrial area becomes then, a project of recuperation specific to a particular si te and culture. The area under investigation is known as the Boynton Yards in Somerville Massachusetts. From the early 19th century until recently it had been a vital industrial district. Today, the site is largely abandoned. This project proposes to make a gesture of recognition to those physical and cultural norms that formed the site, with the intention of re-valuing its current status. Its potential to function as a zone of spatial and social orientation is exploited in a design for a series of loading docks at the edge the Yards.

Katz, Jessica. "Planning for low income settlements in the Blaauwberg Administration Area." Master's thesis, University of Cape Town, 2004. http://hdl.handle.net/11427/17241.
Full textAbstract:
A topic that has increasingly come to the fore in urban planning is the accommodation of those people residing in informal settlements, characteristically the lowest income earners and unemployed. Internationally, nationally and locally, there is a general surge of interest in urban planning towards accommodating low-income settlements adequately, and in formalising informal settlements, based on increasing recognition of peoples' legitimate right to land and security of tenure. Along with these trends, the challenges presented by the urbanisation of poverty that surfaces in informal settlements has become increasingly of interest to me as a researcher and student of planning, over the past few years. This mini-dissertation provides an opportunity to explore some of the social and technical issues that need to be resolved with regards to low-income settlements. Largely related to the background of the ANC government's popular promises of "Housing for All" and "Jobs for All", informal dwellers in South Africa expect to receive formal housing and tend only to accept such services as are associated with subsidised housing. However, poverty in urban environments is a deeper issue that exists when an individual's or household's access to income, infrastructure or services in inadequate to meet their basic needs. More than a lack of income, poverty exists for that section of the population who are unable to pay for basic services or access development opportunities (Van Ryneveld, Muller & Parnell, 2003). .. Increasing urbanisation of poverty presents a challenge to decentralized local government. Although informal settlements have finally become accepted as a local government responsibility, insitu upgrading is a politically driven and preferred response to informal settlements. Upgrading, wherever possible, appears to be a reactive approach by local authorities rather than a pro-active response to the reality of increasing informal settlement. There is little evidence that authorities are planning ahead for informal settlements. Current policy and housing strategies consider those settlements where people earn less than R3500 per month as low-income settlements. In this document, reference to low-income settlements encompasses those who earn less than R3500 per month as well as the unemployed. Poverty alleviation has gradually become a primary political focus in Cape Town, manifesting in informal settlements eventually being allocated a substantial budget, as recently as 2003. This project is based on an extensive literature review that includes internal reports of city officials engaged in current upgrading of informal settlements initiatives of the City of Cape Town, as well as the ongoing debates surfacing in newspaper articles. Access to data gathered from field visits and on-site observations, attending public participation meetings and interactions with officials and their appointed consultants, has broadened insight with regards to low income settlement upgrading. The first section of this document provides the contextual background to the existing situation of low-income settlements in South Africa, and more specifically Cape Town. An analysis of economic opportunities, institutional and servicing issues that are associated with low-income settlements informs this background. As approaches to low income settlements in South Africa are still largely based at the national and provincial levels of government, rather than at the local metropolitan level, this section illustrates the shaping of the initiatives that are in place at a site-specific level. Section 2 comprises a site-specific analysis of the northern suburbs of Cape Town. The N1 and Salt River canal in the South, the N7 in the East, and the Atlantic Ocean in the West are the boundaries of the selected study area. To the North the study area extends to Philadelphia Road and Brakkefontein Road, including Koeberg. For details, refer to the locality map 1 below. The most recent 'Blaauwberg Spatial Development Plan', compiled by Planning Partners (2002) is used as a reference, along with various other Framework plans and proposals. Additional information is gathered from GIS and from current newspaper articles reporting on developments, debates and perspectives. In order to construct proposals on how to intervene in the study area so as to accommodate low income settlements in a more sustainable and integrative way, theory and case studies that provide precedent on approaches to low income settlements allows for drawing on a number of lessons that can be applied to the site. This will be the focus of Section 4. As the outcome of all the above sections, an improved approach and strategy for upgrading low-income settlements is suggested. The pre-empting of problems associated with foreseen increases in low-income settlements is put forward in the proposition that identifying and planning land most suitable for accommodating low-income settlements is an essential component of an effective strategy. As no proposal is complete without taking implementation into account, this will be dealt with in Section 5 through identifying a number of actions that would need to be carried out in order for such a proposal to be implemented.

Full textAbstract:
Urbanization in all over the world has created pressure on the remaining open space, especially green areas,in the cities. Hence, the importance of green areas has become more relevant. It has been acknowledged thatthey are economically valuable as they promote the identity of cities and stimulate for example tourism.They also have a major impact on both physical and mental health and preserve ecological balance.However, knowledge on their social values to users has not been explored that much. Young architectAlexander Ståhle has developed a concept of sociotope that explores green space social values from the userperspective and therefore gives deeper understanding on how people perceive their environment. Sociotopemapping in turn is a way to present sociotopes on an easily understandable form; map. Recent research ongreen areas social values has found indication of different background variables such as age, socio-economicstatus, culture, effect on how people value green spaces. Hence, this case study was an attempt to gain moreknowledge of sociotopes in a Finnish municipality of Lempäälä from the adolescents’ perspective. Theresults showed that adolescents appreciated social values and used green areas arenas for social interaction.

This thesis examines the potential impact and limitations that current metropolitan efforts on urban planning in the Metropolitan Area of Guadalajara could have in reducing the high rates of housing abandonment the city currently faces. Previous efforts to reduce housing abandonment in the city have not delivered the expected results, and the metropolitan government of Guadalajara has laid out a new Metropolitan Urban Development Plan (POTmet) that seeks to rethink housing allocation and reduce home abandonment. In this document I analyze POTmet's housing allocation and abandonment strategies through interviews with key stakeholders involved in the elaboration process of the plan. I create a narrative around these interviews to understand how stakeholders' interests translate into the final strategy outlined in the POTmet. Later, I contrast these findings with previous efforts to reduce housing abandonment in Guadalajara and with the factors that are currently understood as determinants of the abandonment problem. I discuss what the success and limitations of the POTmet could be in reducing housing abandonment and conclude that, while the POTmet successfully brings together key stakeholders that could work together to reduce home abandonment, previous interests that have driven the abandonment problem in the city are still present in the new proposal. The POTmet also fails to target important contributing factors of abandonment, diminishing its potential for success. I discuss these findings and propose new lines of research and action that the City of Guadalajara can take to achieve its objectives to reduce housing abandonment.

SHI-BA-TI area is one of the most famous sight-spots of Chongqing which represents the traditional culture spirit of the city. So that the high-valuable culture features of the site should be reserved in the reconstruction project and expressed in new way with creative method.
The concept of my design is reserving the “old core and skin” while adding in the “new core and skin”.

Full textAbstract:
This creative project concerned the planning of an underwater park off the western coast of Negril, Jamaica. Negril is the westernmost point in Jamaica. Negril was traditionally a small fishing village before the development of tourism in the late 1960's. The rapid growth of tourism and haphazard development that followed has had detrimental effects on the marine environment and local community. Much of the local economy still depends on fishing for its subsistence. The underwater park is an attempt to preserve and protect the reefs and linked habitats in Negril.Protecting the reef will ultimately benefit the local fishing economy. The reef, with its warm, shallow waters is a breeding ground for fish. The fish rely on natural protection in the reef until they are large enough to move out into open waters. The park will prohibit collecting of any fish or plant species within the park area or any other activity with negative impacts to the reef ecology.The intent of the study was to locate and identify the underwater interpretive resources (coral communities), closely linked marine habitats and to recommend park boundaries and designate levels of use and protection. Further intent was to identify current and potential impacts, determine the proper status for the park, outline management objectives, regulations, and specify management plans for the park.The Negril Underwater Park will exist for the purpose of encouraging maximum compatible development of the coral reef system, as a visitor attraction and recreation area, while preserving the resources from degradation through a program of controlled use. The park is also intended to protect habitats linked to the coral reef especially the Great Negril Morass, Sea-grass, beach, and Mangrove areas.Department of Landscape Architecture

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this thesis is to examine the coordination between transportation and other aspects of land use planning. This purpose is achieved through studying transportation planning and decision making in light of general overall metropolitan planning. Transportation planning is defined as a process for addressing societal concerns while attempting to meet the demands for transport made by the populace. Decision making is the final result of this process.
In developing a model of the interrelationships between transportation and land use, this thesis examines theoretical literature and international examples. This examination illustrates benefits of transportation / land use coordination, such as the mutual support they can provide one another when pursuing similar policy objectives. The literature studied highlighted these relationships while acknowledging the unknown nature of causalities. In relation to the coordination of transportation and land use policy, planning and decision making, only the technical aspects should be achieved through disciplinary isolation.
A two-example case study of transportation planning and decision making within Greater Vancouver is introduced with a discussion of the past thirty years of regional transportation planning and with a look at the Livable Region Program. This provides the context within which transportation planners of today must work.
The case study utilizes interviews with planning staff members from agencies and municipalities with interest in the two major transportation facilities examined. The first example is the Alex Fraser Bridge over the Fraser River which was opened to automobile traffic in September of 1986. The second example is the possible future extension of rapid transit into Coquitlam, a facility which the provincial government has not yet committed itself to building. It is concluded that the Alex Fraser Bridge example does not support the policies of the Livable Region Program while the Coquitlam rapid transit example does. Furthermore, neither example supports the notion that the Livable Region Program is coordinated with transportation planning in Greater Vancouver.
The final conclusion is that no coordination is apparent between the planning and implementation of regional transportation facilities and regional planning goals within Greater Vancouver. The transportation decisions analyzed in this thesis have been imposed upon the region by the provincial government. Promotion of regional goals by these transportation facilities is seen to result from similar objectives within different agencies rather than from coordination of planning between those agencies.Applied Science, Faculty of

Elas combinam a mobilidade do usuário com sua conexão a rede com taxas de comunicação de até 20 Mbps ou mais, empregando técnicas de espalhamento espectral (salto em frequência - FHSS ou sequência direta - DSSS) ou acesso por modulação de frequências ortogonais - OFDM, nas faixas de frequência de 900 MHz, 2.4 Ghz e 5.7 Ghz. Dependendo da tecnologia, faixa de frequência e ambiente de utilização, o alcance das WLAN pode variar de 30 a 250 metros, ou maiores distâncias com as evoluções deste padrão. O seu projeto requer o modelamento do canal de propagação em ambientes internos . Os métodos de previsão de perda de transmissão mais utilizados são de natureza semi-empírica, devido à complexidade do problema em que envolve múltiplos mecanismos de propagação como reflexão em paredes, pisos e tetos, difração em obstáculos e transmissão através de paredes e pisos.

They combine user s mobility , his/her network connection with communication taxes of up to 20 Mbps or plus, using spread spectrum techniques (Frequency Hopping - FHSS or Direct Sequence - DSSS) or access for Orthogonais Frequency Division Modulation - OFDM, in frequency range of 900 MHz, 2.4 Ghz and 5.7 Ghz. Depending on the technology, frequency range and us e atmosphere, the reach of WLAN can vary from 30 to 250 meters, or larger distances with the evolutions of this pattern. This project requests the model of the propagation channel in internal atmospheres. The methods of forecast of transmission loss more used are of semi-empiric nature, due to the complexity of the problem in that it involves multiple propagation mechanisms as reflection in walls, floors and roofs, diffraction in obstacles and transmission through walls and floors. Besides the propagation loss it should be considered the problem of the multipath that produces in dispersal of retards, the received sign affecting the quality of the system.

Full textAbstract:
This study reviews and evaluates the current status of management planning and policy in Protected Areas (PAs) in Bangladesh via a case study of two Wildlife Sanctuaries and one National Park. Using a mixed method approach, the research evaluates the perceptions and attitudes of local residents and other stakeholders towards the effectiveness of protected area planning and management, specifically co-management plans for the case study areas. The research was based on semi-structured and in-depth interviews with key informants, focus group discussions, and questionnaire surveys of village residents. The study revealed a complex socio-economic context characterised by poverty; within this, a diverse range of stakeholders exist whose interests in, and perceptions of, protected area management do not necessarily coincide with those of the Forest Department officials, leading to situations of conflict and difficulty for the Forest Department in enforcing the law over areas of forest in Bangladesh, a situation that has not been helped by the limited availability of manpower and modern equipment. It is concluded that the co-management approach, by taking into account the interests, wishes, and aspirations of the local communities, holds out better prospects of protecting the forest, meeting the objectives of the protected area management plans, and development ambitions of local communities. However, the findings suggest that community participation needs to be improved if effective forms of co-management are to be achieved, in turn improving the chances of conserving the forest for future generations while permitting the present generation to pursue sustainable livelihoods. Based on this study, it is clear that not only is action required to increase the participation of the local community, but human resource development is required to produce parallel institutional capacity building within the Forest Department. Moreover, programmes designed to support the generation of alternative livelihood opportunities are required to reduce dependency on forest resources. All of these lines of development are essential to increase the capacity of the local communities and officials to work together to develop and implement the management objectives of the National Parks and Wildlife Sanctuaries. However, without genuine political will to act it will be difficult to achieve the aforementioned ambitions/objectives.

This dissertation addresses high-level path planning and cooperative control for autonomous vehicles. The objective of our work is to closely and rigorously incorporate classication and detection performance into path planning algorithms, which is not addressed with typical approaches found in literature. We present novel path planning algorithms for two different applications in which autonomous vehicles are tasked with engaging targets within a stochastic environment. In the first application an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) must reacquire and identify clusters of discrete underwater objects. Our planning algorithm ensures that mission objectives are met with a desired probability of success. The utility of our approach is verified through field trials. In the second application, a team of vehicles must intercept mobile targets before the targets enter a specified area. We provide a formal framework for solving the second problem by jointly minimizing a cost function utilizing Bayes risk.Ph. D.

Thesis (S.M.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Civil and Environmental Engineering, 2000.Includes bibliographical references (p. 217-219).
This thesis presents research motivated by three critical issues. First, the rapid penetration of information technologies has changed the face of both transportation system management and long-term planning. Second, the federal mandate for integrated environmentally-based transportation planning in the United States was expanded with firm resolve by the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA). Third, ongoing research work on the air quality problem in Mexico City demands in-depth attention to the management and planning of that metropolitan region's transportation system because of the important contribution of mobile sources to the air pollution problem. The purpose of this thesis is to expand an established theoretical framework that addresses the issue of data-intensive integrated management to include the relationship between transportation and environmental planning. The theoretical product of that endeavor, namely the Regional Planning Architecture framework, is tested in the context of Mexico City, in which the mobility and environmental problems are more extensive than in any city in the United States. The result of this work is a new Regional Planning Architecture (RPA) framework to accompany the previously established Regional Service Architecture. The RPA describes the fundamental institutional relationships that surround the production and implementation of short- and longterm transportation plans. The architecture reflects the need to integrate transportation and environmental plans by incorporating the relationships between transportation and environmental planners. This is particularly important in the area of conformity planning, which was brought about by ISTEA in 1991. Initially based on the specific requirements of U.S. legislation, the use of the Mexico City case study leads to an independent platform that helps to produce original recommendations for improvement in that city's mobility and environmental systems. The analysis suggests that in using regional architectures as a diagnostic or prescriptive tool, one should emphasize five elements of interaction among institutions: goals, ideas/needs, funding, approval, and data. The focus on goals reflects the finding that the formulation and exchange of goal statements can help planners comprehend and incorporate the goals of their colleagues from other agencies. Funding and emissions constraints facilitate the application of goals in the prioritization/approval process. The sharing of data and ideas/needs reflects the increasing availability of information to planners on the effectiveness of prior strategies and investments.

This dissertation develops an optimization framework for conservation planning and illustrates the framework using case studies from Alaska, Balcones Canyonlands National Wildlife Refuge (BCNWR) in central Texas, and Mexico. The common theme of the chapters is the use of optimization models to design conservation areas. Chapter 1 explains how the subsequent chapters are related to one another. Chapter 2 develops a framework for measuring how the cost of establishing conservation areas changes over time. When this method is applied to a data set on Mexican mammals, it is shown that twice as much land would have to be set aside to protect adequate mammal habitat today than would have been required in 1970 due to ongoing deforestation. Chapter 3 presents an optimization model for planning the establishment of conservation areas that incorporates forecasts of species' responses to global warming. The model is applied to analyze endangered birds and the polar bear (Ursus maritimus) on the Arctic coast of Alaska. Chapter 4 discusses the modeling of habitat for two endangered bird species, the Black{capped Vireo (Vireo atricapillus) and the Golden{cheekedWarbler (Dendroica chrysoparia), at BCNWR using a machine{learning algorithm (Maxent). These habitat models serve as part of the input for a one{stage optimization model for acquiring land to expand BCNWR. Chapter 5 uses graph theory to select corridors to establish connectivity between conservation areas in Mexico. The planning method presented in Chapter 5 is implemented in a free software package for corridor design, LQGraph.text

Full textAbstract:
Supply of recreation areas is an important aspect of recreation planning, and this thesis examines one
specific aspect of it. In a recent demand and supply study done for the Lower Mainland region, supply
was studied by dividing it into two parts, formal and informal. Formal supply of recreation areas are
those that have formal designation, such as BC Parks, Regional Parks, municipal parks, BC Forest sites
and trails, and BC Hydro Recreation areas. All other areas used for recreation are considered
“informal”, and it is these that are discussed in this thesis.
The value of informal recreation areas within the recreation opportunity spectrum is examined from a
variety of perspectives. Theoretical considerations of recreation planning are presented as background to
the remainder of the thesis. The topics: “The Importance and Value of Recreation, Recreation Planning
Themes, Relationships and Linkages of Recreation to Other Aspects of Life, and Recreation Place
Systems”, are discussed. Following this, a methodology for inventorying them and the most predominant
land types used as informal recreation areas are described. Pertinent aspects of inventories and the
importance of choosing appropriate activity categories are also examined.
The thesis centres on discussions of the non-tangible, psychological and emotional aspects and benefits of
outdoor recreation that should be incorporated into recreation planning. Suggestions on ways to achieve
these non-tangible objectives using concrete and practical steps are offered.

The rise of the internet network has broken the communication boundaries of the world which also impelled the enterprises to have global competitions. Because the security of the first generation wireless network is problematic, enterprises are reluctant to use wireless network. However, as the technology gradually developed, more enterprises use wireless network for their business. Yet, the security maintenance is another issue that corporations have to be aware of. While wireless network can increase the corporation’s productivity and provide customers’ needs speedily, wireless network is the corporation’s key to compete. At the same time, it changes the operation of the business, such as the running of the corporation, how employees operate the system, and the structure of the internet security system. Moreover, the government offers financial supports to encourage creating more projects, and makes efforts to elevate the fundamentals of communication technology, wireless network has created an unbearable momentum. In order to assist corporations to plan secure WLAN, this research analyze the security of WLAN to corporation by looking at the technical, practical, and managerial aspects of WLAN, and by discovering the structure of WLAN so that the differences of wireless products on the market can be better understood. This analysis, conducting SWOT analysis and competitive analysis, can hopefully act as a reference in evaluating the target that can be achieved with the use of certain WLAN strategies for enterprises in WLAN planning. In addition, some related suggestions will be provided in the analysis by discussing the internal active value chain and the industrial active value chain to further understand what WLAN will bring to enterprises in the future, and to examine the benefits of incorporating SWLAN to enterprises. The results of this research can hopefully provide relevant references to enterprises on the structure of installing secure WLAN.

Full textAbstract:
Research Doctorate - Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)The thesis is partly a response to the increasing numbers of people expressing concerns over a number of environmental issues (i.e. impact of climate change; greenhouse gas emissions; and, depleting natural resources). Governments, in response, are trying to develop a more sustainable approach to urban development. The thesis proposes a sustainable area planning (SAP) framework to incorporate sustainability principles (social/cultural, environmental, and economic) in urban planning within different sized areas, including: local; district; local government; and, region. The thesis examines current urban planning schools (land use planning, natural resource planning and sustainable urban planning). The research focuses on the extent that these schools incorporate principles of sustainability within urban planning frameworks. The research aims to condense and build on these frameworks to develop a more coordinated and holistic framework. The proposed SAP framework is a five (5) step process with templates developed to accompany each step. The thesis acknowledges the wide range of sustainability data sources available, and shows how these sources can be utilized within the framework. Both qualitative (i.e. SAP survey step) and quantitative (i.e. SAP sustainability scorecard step) methods are used within the framework. A case study urban growth area of North Wyong District (in the Greater Metropolitan Region of Sydney) is nominated to test the framework. As the framework is developed, questions posed on how best to measure the environment leads to the development of indicators of sustainability. Sustainability scorecards are also developed to record these indicators of sustainability. A system of sustainability ratings (using green, amber and red) is proposed. The thesis then tests aggregating (scaling up) these ratings to larger areas. The final research aim is to test whether the scorecard results can form the basis of a sustainability report (with actions and monitoring components) for a subject area. The thesis draws a conclusion that the SAP framework does work and can be used as a tool to incorporate principles of sustainability into urban planning. Finally, suggested future research directions are outlined, including: 1. adopting a systems program for the SAP framework application; 2. using the framework for environmental performance monitoring; and, 3. broadening the framework to accommodate the social and economic components of sustainability.
