Abstract:

This study is primarily concerned with organisational communication in a large Canberra Licensed Club. Through a case study approach, it explores how effectively the Canberra Southern Cross Club communicates with its staff and its membership within the framework of its own unique culture. At the same time the Club is exposed to social, economic and technological changes which all have an impact on the Club's culture. Using historical research and interview and survey data, the author shows how the Club's unique sense of place and definition has set it apart from other Licensed Clubs in the sig

Abstract:

The principle point of departure for this study was my personal experience of life w ith two small children in a part of Canberra built in the early 1950s. The house we moved into in 1985 was in its original condition - wooden and uninsulated, with cold water only taps in the laundry and a wood-burning stove in the kitchen. The backyard was big and bare and. at the front of the house, no fence secured the property. The walk to the closest shops was long, and torturously uphill for the return journey.

Abstract:

The tourism industry is vulnerable to crises and disasters and increasingly government and industry stakeholders are turning their attention to how to prevent, manage and recover from shock events. In the last decade there has been increasing interest in tourism research on crises and disasters, prompted in part by recognition of the tourism industry's vulnerabilities and what appear to be more frequent shock events. The beginning of this century has been marked by a series of crises and disasters including the 2001 Foot and Mouth Disease outbreak in the United Kingdom, the 2001 terrorist hija

Abstract:

This research focuses on the cultural identity of Chinese Australian adolescents in Canberra between the ages of 18 and 21. Adolescence is a developmental stage in which young people feel a need to define their cultural identity. According to social identity theory, being a member of the group provides individuals with a sense of belonging that contributes to a positive self-concept. In particular, young people belonging to ethnic minority groups need a firm sense of group identification in order to maintain a sense of wellbeing (Tajfel & Turner, 1979).

Abstract:

The limited attention paid by architectural historians to the influence of continental European migrant architects on Australian architecture has been noted in recent architecture literature. This study offers a close analysis of the life and work of Canberra architect Enrico Taglietti, who migrated to Australia from Italy in 1955. His work demonstrates a 'highly personal style' offering more depth and playfulness of form and content than the work of his contemporaries. Taglietti designed a broad range of private and public buildings in Canberra, his adopted 'invisible city', including Dickso

Abstract:

Traditional models of public participation in planning have been criticized as 'top-down' segregating planners from ordinary citizens; thus, there has been a quest for greater public involvement in planning decisions and policy-making. The public demands a greater voice in planning and development affairs. To provide public input into the planning process, planning agencies often establish Citizen Advisory Committees (CAC) to involve the public in planning decisions. The increasing redevelopment pressure in inner city suburbs in most Australian cities has led to the creation of many advisory g

Abstract:

While the Australian wartime Prime Minister, John Curtin, has been the subject of intensive biographical and historical material, particularly during World War II, very few publications have focused on his relationships with journalists.

Major forces converged with the commencement of another global war, the rapid expansion of relatively new radio and film industries, along with the appointment as prime minister of a skilfu

Anopheles annulipes, Aedes notoscriptus, Aedes australicus, Aedes alboannulata, Culex annulirostris and Culex quinquefasciatus were found. Temperature was a major climatic factor in determining the abundance of mosquito populations in the wetland. First collections and subsequent development of mosquitoes in Ginninderra wetland are likely to depend on local weather conditions each year.

Home range areas of 10 suburban house cats, and a colony of seven farm cats, were examined using 95% convex polygons. Nocturnal home range areas of the suburban cats varied between 0.02 and 27.93 ha (mean 7.89 ha), and were larger than diurnal home range areas (range 0.02 to 17.19 h

The main memory test involved free recall of a word-list over several learning trials and two delayed recall trials.

Seen as 'the best assimilated migrants', the Dutch were popular migrants in the fifties, when migration from the Netherlands to Australia reached its peak, but by 1984 they had slipped to 6th place in popularity, according to a mid-year opinion poll. Nowadays they form what is very much a greying group, since hardly any new Dutch migrants are settling in Australia. The figures in chapter 4 Table 1, show that in the ten years bet\AJeen 1975 and 1985 on ly 10,956 Dutch settlers arrived in Australia, and that in the same period 3,112 Dutch settlers left.

Abstract:

This thesis investigates social networks and social support in Canberra. More specifically, the study addresses two main areas of interest. First, particular attention is given to the pattern of social networks and social support formed in the city and its variations among four study areas. Second, the study focusses on the effect of occupational and residential mobility on social networks and social suppon. To gather empirical evidence on these issues, a sample survey of 394 women in four study areas of Canberra was conducted in 1986-1987. The analyses of these data yielded the followi

Abstract:

The death of a child spectator at the implosion of the Royal Canberra Hospital on 13 July 1997 was an accident that had a profound impact on the local community, prompting a significant cursive response. Promoted as a public spectacle, the implosion was planned as an orchestrated collision between past and future that would enable an instantaneous obliteration of past in order to create a site of future opportunities. When it resulted instead in a failed demolition and the death of a child, the reversal of popular expectation precipitated not only shock, grief and guilt, but also a widespread

Abstract:

This thesis seeks to contribute to the existing historiography of the Australian national capital city, Canberra. It explores the assumptions and aspirations that influenced the city's planning and construction during its two greatest periods of growth--the first period spanning from the tum of the century to the beginning of the great depression, the second from the 1955 Senate Select Committee Report on Canberra to the early 1970s. The emphasis is not on providing a narrative history of Canberra. It analyses how the city's design reflects attempts to create the ideal city.

Abstract:

The primary purpose of this thesis is to examine the interconnections between the roles played by parents and teachers and children’s own sense of ethnic identification during early childhood. Although the study of ethnicity and multiculturalism received much attention during the 1980s associated research applicable within the Australian early childhood scene remains largely an unchartered territory. Much of the research todate has focussed on adults’ perceptions, paying little regard to children’s view of the world. This study is based on twenty-seven children aged between 5 to 8 years

Abstract:

This study examines the material advantages attached to owner occupation in Canberra between 1962 and 1981. Canberra's housing market was used to review the debate on domestic property and land rent A number of authors (Saunders, 1978, 1979; Pratt 1982) contend that ownership of residential property generates significant economic interests independent of production within society. Other researchers rejected this view and denied the significance of gains through housing (Edel, 1982; Edel, Sclar and Lamia, 1984). One of the first objectives of this thesis therefore was to ascertain the nat
