Face aux changements de l’environnement et Face à la dynamique de la concurrence, de nouvelles formes d’organisation apparaissent pour répondre à ces nouveaux défis. Ces organisations suggèrent de nouveaux modes de management basés sur le travail en commun dans le cadre de réseaux ou de coopérations entre ces établissements. La thèse est consacrée à l’étude de la coopération inter-organisations sous l’angle d’un processus mobilisant différents facteurs. Le but de la recherche est de construire un cadre théorique d’appréhension de la coopération et d’apporter une vision systémique sur le processus d’émergence de la coopération. Un des grands champs possibles, le thème de l’innovation revient régulièrement. C’est pour cette raison que la dernière partie de ce travail propose une démarche pour la mise en place de coopérations entre des plates-formes dédiées aux phases amont de l’innovation. Ce projet associe territoire, université et entreprise<br>Due to the changes on the competing environment and its dynamics, new organization ways have been developed to face these new challenges. These practices suggest other kinds of management based on joint work within the framework of companies’ networks or cooperation between establishments. This thesis treats the study of inter-organizational cooperation under the angle of a process between various factors. The aim of this research is to build a theoretical framework of cooperation apprehension and to provide a systemic vision on the process of cooperation emergence. One of the large research fields that are continuously present during inter-establishments cooperation is innovation. For this reason, the last part of this work proposes the first of a set of steps needed to develop inter-platforms cooperation during the upstream phase of innovation. This project associates territories, universities and companies

Full textAbstract:
This thesis looks at education reform and the experiences of staff and pupils in a coeducational, multi-ethnic, comprehensive school that implemented Fresh Start, one of New Labour's flagship initiatives to 'raise standards'. The study is an ethnography that draws on semi-structured interviews, observation and the collection of key government and school documents. Particular attention is paid to issues of discipline, selection and the construction of pupil identities. I suggest that current official discourses are fixing 'problems' of indiscipline on pupils, downplaying its contextual nature. Specifically, I argue that key documents in education present discipline in a binary logic that defines pupils as either disruptive or disrupted. These positions are being reworked in school, with teachers defining as disruptive pupils perceived as having a bad attitude', and as disrupted those with particular cultural capital. Significantly, pupils positioned as disruptive are mainly boys of ethnic minority origins. This disadvantaging positioning is further compounded by processes of selection within the school. The splitting of the form under study helped to reinforce African Caribbean and Turkish pupils' positioning as disruptive. Setting, increasingly used under New Labour's 'modern comprehensive principle', also closes down the educational opportunities of some ethnic minority pupils at Greenfield Comprehensive, through the disproportionate allocation to the lower sets in Science of pupils with English as an Additional Language. This and other factors (such as ethnicity, gender and class) helped to shape the range of schooling identities available to pupils. I conclude that in spite of the ambivalence entailed in the process of identity formation the school is hardening pupils' identities into opposite positions, overlooking the commitment of pupils seen as 'problematic' and downplaying the misbehaviour of 'ideal' pupils. I suggest that a post-structuralist approach is needed to explain the fragility and complexity of pupils' schooling identities, alongside a modified version of the concept of polarisation to understand how these are being hardened at the school.

Title: The Cold Chain Management in Supermarket-- Case Study on the Fresh Food Logistics in a supermarket Level: Final assignment for Master Degree in Logistics and Innovation Management Supervisor: Kaisu Sammalisto Date: June, 2011 Aim: The purpose of the paper is to research the cold chain management in supermarket by illustrating the case of a supermarket in Sweden. It aims to find out how the supermarket handles the fresh food cold chain by the perspective of cost and effectiveness. Method: The qualitative method was used in this paper, and the interview with the manager of the supermarket was conducted. The face to face interview provides the first hand information to the study. Neergaard et al (2007) state that qualitative approach is the best way to use to generalize the empirical investigations. To improve the validity, related literature was studied to get an initial idea about the research question. Result & Conclusions: The supermarket applies the simplicity strategy on the control of the fresh food cold chain. The unnecessary cost was cut down because of the simplicity strategy. Also, the local suppliers play an important role in the cost reduction. To improve the effectiveness, the supermarket uses the distribution centers and 3rd party logistics (3PL) to conduct integrated logistics.

Full textAbstract:
Informal settlements around the world are plagued by a general lack of essential infrastructure, scarce and strained resources. This has resulted in glaring sanitation and subsequent health problems. Kenya is a developing country with several informal settlements which lack systems for managing human excreta. Effective management of human excreta remains elusive in the highly populated informal settlements. Sanergy is a socialenterprise that seeks to provide a sustainable human excreta management solution in Kenyan slums. The purpose of this thesis is to assess Sanergy’s project viability in managing human excreta in slums. This analysis is based on qualitative methodology consisting of open and semi-structured interviews, moderate participant observation, focus group discussions as well as some participatory tools such as brainstorming and neighborhood mapping. Additionally this study incorporates GIS mapping information, national and global statistics and a literature review to understand the different dynamics of managing human excreta in a slum context. The result of this paper’s assessment shows the viability of the Sanergy project as a sustainable sanitation solution for Kenyan slums, and beyond.<br>Sanergy

Full textAbstract:
Community concerns regarding natural resource management may be addressed in several forms. The community may participate as part of the public in the management process; community concerns may be included in social impact assessment; and communities may directly participate as managers of resources whether on their own or in conjunction with higher levels of government. In fisheries, typically community concerns are addressed through social impact assessment which is perceived to be lacking in social theory, history, and often effect (Boggs 1994, Little and Krannich 1989). More recent activity and newer regulations show success with co-management, a management regime of shared responsibilities that is perceived to be based in social theory (McCay and Acheson 1987, Berkes et al 2001). Co-management requires specific situations to be in place for its institution, however (McCay 2002). This dissertation was undertaken to find a mechanism to assist communities in providing their concerns on management issues of area management and possible buybacks while meeting requirements of social theory and law. In the attempt, a social impact assessment based upon community-based co-management theory, an assessment of the potential of community-based co-management are generated.*. *This dissertation is a compound document (contains both a paper copy and a CD as part of the dissertation).

Full textAbstract:
The rapid development of plastic production the last couple of decades has led to extensive use of plastic products and vast problems with littering, waste management and exploitation of natural resources. Due to the cheap and easy production of plastics, the world’s population has extended the limit of acceptable usage. The world’s oceans are filled with plastic debris and waste is landfilled, which have had large impacts on the ecosystem, animal and human life (World Environment Day Outlook, 2018). One of the industries that have been revolutionised by the development of plastic advancement is the packaging industry, where products can be protected and quality can be kept, helping globalisation and developing the modern economy (UNEP, 2018). However, due to the lack of waste management systems and recycling facilities for plastics, the world’s population is demanding change. The United Nations have developed the Sustainability Goals and issued The New Plastics Economy, where governments, citizens and regulatory institutions are to work towards a circular economy (The New Plastics Economy, 2019). The demands are addressed towards whole value chains, from production to end-use, and include waste minimising, material optimisation, increase of recyclability, and the development of sustainable alternatives. The fish industry has historically been limited to a few packaging options and expanded polystyrene (EPS) has been the least inferior one when packaging fresh fish for transportation and keeping the quality of the fish. EPS has great material properties for this purpose, however, with the sustainability transition and increasing demands from consumers, the material is regarded as unsustainable with limited availability and profitability to recycle (Hansen et al., 2012). This master thesis aims to investigate if there are sustainable packaging solutions for fresh fish and how these could be adopted by the fish industry. This was done by conducting a qualitative case study on an alternative packaging solution made from corrugated cardboard. Stakeholders from the whole fish value chain were interviewed in order to understand the value perception of existing and alternative packaging solutions for fresh fish. The findings have been analysed using innovation adoption theory together with a sustainability framework. This in order to understand the adoption behaviour of innovative sustainable packaging solutions, and the sustainability impact of these with regards to environmental, social and economic aspects. The study has identified two packaging solutions, develop recycling systems for EPS and fish boxes made from corrugated cardboard, that the fish industry should consider adopting. The two identified packaging solutions have different diffusion possibilities, where the corrugated cardboard fish box is considered as the most sustainable solution.<br>Den snabba utvecklingen av plastproduktion de senaste decennierna har lett till en omfattande användning av plastprodukter, vilket har medfört problem som nedskräpning, ökad avfallshantering och överdriven användning av naturresurser. På grund av billig och enkel tillverkning av plast har världens befolkning överskridit gränsen för acceptabel användning. Världens hav är fyllda med spillror av plast och avfall deponeras, vilket har haft stora effekter på ekosystemet och djur- och människoliv (World Environment Day Outlook, 2018). En av branscherna som har revolutionerats av utvecklingen av plast är förpackningsindustrin, där plasten bidrar till att produkter kan skyddas och kvalitet kan bevaras, vilket har hjälpt globaliseringen och utvecklat den moderna ekonomin (UNEP, 2018). På grund av bristen på avfallshanteringssystem och återvinningsanläggningar för plast kräver dock världens befolkning förändring. FN har utvecklat hållbarhetsmål och utfärdat The New Plastics Economy, där regeringar, människor och tillsynsinstitutioner ska arbeta för en cirkulär ekonomi (The New Plastics Economy, 2019). Kraven riktas mot hela värdekedjor, från produktion till slutanvändning, och inkluderar avfallsminimering, materialoptimering, ökad återvinningsbarhet och utveckling av hållbara alternativ. Fiskindustrin har historiskt sett varit begränsad till att använda materialet expanderad polystyren (EPS) vid förpackning av färsk fisk för transport och för att behålla fiskens kvalitet. Detta material har bra materialegenskaper för dessa ändamål, men med hållbarhetsövergången och ökade krav från konsumenter anses materialet vara ohållbart med begränsad tillgänglighet och lönsamhet att återvinna (Hansen et al., 2012). Denna masteruppsats syftar till att undersöka om det finns hållbara förpackningslösningar för färsk fisk och hur dessa bör anammas av fiskindustrin. Detta gjordes genom att genomföra en kvalitativ fallstudie av en alternativ förpackningslösning gjord av wellpapp. Intressenter från fiskens hela värdekedja intervjuades för att förstå värdesynen på befintliga och alternativa förpackningslösningar för färsk fisk. Resultaten har analyserats med hjälp av innovations teori, tillsammans med ett hållbarhetsramverk. Detta för att förstå adoptionsbeteendet för innovativa hållbara förpackningslösningar och hållbarhetspåverkan av dessa när det gäller miljö, samt sociala och ekonomiska aspekter. Studien har identifierat två förpackningslösningar; ett utvecklat återvinningssystem för EPS och fisklådor tillverkade av wellpapp, som fiskindustrin bör överväga att anamma. De två identifierade lösningarna har olika diffusionsmöjligheter, där wellpappfisklåda betraktas som den mest hållbara lösningen.

Full textAbstract:
Inefficient road transportation causes unnecessary costs and polluting emissions. This problem is even more severe in refrigerated transportation, in which temperature control is used to guarantee the quality of the products. Organizing logistics cooperatively can help decrease both the environmental and the economic impacts. In Joint Route Planning (JRP) cooperation, suppliers and customers jointly optimize routing decisions so that cost and emissions are minimized. Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI) cooperation extends JRP cooperation by optimizing routing and inventory planning decisions simultaneously. However, in addition to their economic advantages, VMI and JRP may also yield environmental benefits. To test this assertion, we perform a case study on cooperation between a number of supermarket chains in the Netherlands. The data of this case study are analyzed to quantify both the economic and environmental benefits of implementing cooperation via JRP and VMI, using vehicle routing and an inventory routing models. We found that JRP cooperation can substantially reduce cost and emissions compared with uncooperative routing. In addition, VMI cooperation can further reduce cost and emissions, but minimizing cost and minimizing emissions no longer result in the same solution and there is a trade-off to be made.

Can pressure of the rich and industrialized countries on poor countries improve their production conditions through consumer's awareness? Some authors hold hope that globalization will improve the condition of environment, and the lives of those in the developing world. Numerous studies of social development have chronicled and predicted the problems associated with globalization throughout the third world. Both social and environmental standards created by governments and Non Governmental Organizations in developed countries have the intention to assess and approve the level of responsibility of companies producing in the third world.

Full textAbstract:
The research aim was to gain a more detailed understanding of the operation of different key segments for fresh produce supply chains originating in the Highlands Provinces in Papua New Guinea (PNG). The research investigates a number of supply chain dimensions of effectiveness which include, value creation and integration of processes, logistics, quality, information, relationship/vertical integration and overall effectiveness. These were linked together in SC framework. Two potato chains were investigated, one formal, the other informal. The informal potato chain involves small holder farmers, input suppliers and local markets including kai bars and the urban market. The chain originates and ends within the Western Highlands Province. The formal potato chain has farmers, input suppliers, wholesaler/marker, transport companies (trucking and coastal shipping agents), supermarkets, hotels and kai bars. This chain originates in Mt Hagen, Western Highlands Province and ends in Port Moresby, National Capital District. The effectiveness of both the formal and informal chains was identified, and comparisons were made to see how each chain differed. The informal chain was found to have different problems to the formal chains. However, participants to both chains demonstrate a high entrepreneurial behavior. A key finding of the study was that the chains spread their risk by operating in multiple market segments and this can help to solve issues with variable quality. The marketers in each chain position themselves in these different market segments. It was clear from this work that focusing on functions and not the whole chain can lead to a distorted view of chain performance. For example, for the informal chain, a focus on logistics issues, particularly poor roads and problems with availability of seeds, can misrepresent the effectiveness of this chain. Therefore, it was concluded that it is important to look at the overall performance of each chain rather than looking specifically at particular chain functions in isolation.

Full textAbstract:
Algal blooms plague freshwaters across the globe, as increased nutrient loads lead to eutrophication of inland waters and the presence of potentially harmful cyanobacteria. In this context, remote sensing is a valuable approach to monitor water quality over broad temporal and spatial scales. However, there remain several challenges to the accurate retrieval of water quality parameters, and the research in this thesis investigates these in an optically complex lake (Lake Balaton, Hungary). This study found that bulk and specific inherent optical properties [(S)IOPs] showed significant spatial variability over the trophic gradient in Lake Balaton. The relationships between (S)IOPs and biogeochemical parameters differed from those reported in ocean and coastal waters due to the high proportion of particulate inorganic matter (PIM). Furthermore, wind-driven resuspension of mineral sediments attributed a high proportion of total attenuation to particulate scattering and increased the mean refractive index (n̅p) of the particle assemblage. Phytoplankton pigment concentrations [chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) and phycocyanin (PC)] were also accurately retrieved from a times series of satellite data over Lake Balaton using semi-analytical algorithms. Conincident (S)IOP data allowed for investigation of the errors within these algorithms, indicating overestimation of phytoplankton absorption [aph(665)] and underestimation of the Chl-a specific absorption coefficient [a*ph(665)]. Finally, Chl-a concentrations were accurately retrieved in a multiscale remote sensing study using the Normalized Difference Chlorophyll Index (NDCI), indicating hyperspectral data is not necessary to retrieve accurate pigment concentrations but does capture the subtle heterogeneity of phytoplankton spatial distribution. The results of this thesis provide a positive outlook for the future of inland water remote sensing, particularly in light of contemporary satellite instruments with continued or improved radiometric, spectral, spatial and temporal coverage. Furthermore, the value of coincident (S)IOP data is highlighted and contributes towards the improvement of remote sensing pigment retrieval in optically complex waters.

Abstract:
The emergence of Technopolis could be considered the result of the more and more competitive environment and local specialization in of technology。It is a critical means to access to technological deepening and autonomy.
The key reason to establish a technopolis is to compound the integration of the technological resources of academic institute and industry and to link the related advantages in technological territory in order to develop agglomeration economies and industrial clustering. Technopolis is a low-exclusive public goods and can spin off considerable externalities. Especially a successful technopolis is an important path to expedite national industrialization and deepen promotion of technology development.
Silicon valley is considered the original technopolis. Japanese technopolis developed its own historical trajectory, in contrast to Silicon Valley, which had benefited from military and electronic demand. The different formation of Japanese technopolis was based on the government’s guidance and promotion of legislation. Germany’s science city developed its style in reference to the experience from technopolis of United States and Japan. Lessons for Taiwan’s projected science city can be learned from the distinctive Wissenschaftsstadt Ulm case.
This study features the organizational characteristics of Wissenschaftsstadt Ulm and briefly introduces schematic process of Hsin-Chu Science City in the appendix. First, it highlights the general framework and functions of West Germany’s technological strategy and the regional technology features and objectives of Baden-Württemberg, the state governing Ulm city. Secondly, it distinguishes the definitions science park, technology park, business incubator, technopolis and science city and provides a table comparing them. Meanwhile, it explicates the background of the development of technopolis, and its polices and strategies as a basis for understanding the planning of Wissenschaftsstadt Ulm. Finally, it explores the characteristics of Wiessenschaftsstadt Ulm through network theory and experience. The content of the thesis is layed out as follows:
Chapter One: Introduction
Chapter Two: Technology police of West Germany and regional technology strategy
Of Baden-Württemberg in brief.
Chapter Three: Evolution of Technopolis
Chapter Four: Technopolitan strategy
Chapter Five: The foundation of network theory and experience

碩士<br>國立政治大學<br>企業管理研究所(MBA學位學程)<br>106<br>The booming of e-commerce has made people’s shopping behaviors change dramatically. The way of purchasing fresh foods has also become more and more diverse in response to the online shopping trends. As online shopping becomes the essential habit of people’s life, the e-commerce market such as clothing, books and cosmetics categories had gradually saturated; however, the fresh food category is expected to become the next blue ocean due to the rigid demand of fresh food products, which have the characteristics of high purchasing frequency, high repurchasing rate and high purchase amount. Therefore, many companies and startup are dedicate to devote and invest in the fresh food e-commerce field.
Compared to Taiwan, China's fresh food e-commerce industry has developed more rapidly. Since 2012, many companies have begun to compete in this field, and in 2017, the market has been reshuffled. Many SMEs have been merged and sold. Business giants such as Alibaba, T-mall and Jingdong Mall have also involved in this field. The market size of China fresh food e-commerce is expected to grow to 128.3 billion yuan in 2018. The rapid development of China is a worthy for the Taiwanese reference.
This study adopts case studies and in-depth interviews in qualitative research, supported by other secondary information and references as well, to analyze both China and Taiwan industrial development cases of fresh food e-commerce. The first phase of this research mainly collected Taiwanese and Chinese fresh food e-commerce industry information and classified the types of the companies. In the second stage, one of the fresh food e-commerce enterprises in Taiwan is selected for research, and the advantages and disadvantages of the case are analyzed. Finally, this research proposes the possibilities suggestion for the case operation and strategy.

The main motivations for office staffs to convenient stores are convenience and quickness, and they majorly purchase food for breakfast and lunch on weekdays. The main consideration for choosing which convenient store to purchase is whether the taste and the size of the fresh food could satisfy personal needs, rather than for the price. It indicates that when developing new products, improving the fresh food’s nature is most important. Although the office staffs seldom purchase fresh food at convenient stores during night time, the convenient stores still should reposition the fresh food for the night time period. The convenient stores could develop new fresh food model to attract the office staffs’ purchase intention, and these suggestions could become useful new product development strategies in the future.

Full textAbstract:
碩士<br>國立成功大學<br>國際經營管理研究所碩士班<br>100<br>In Indonesia, chilies are a priority crop commonly produced by small farmers. Chilies are an important cash flow income for small scale producers. Farmers usually sell their chilies to a trader. Traders mostly sell fresh chilies to wholesaler but some goes to processors or directly to retail outlets. Price transmission is a key indicator of efficiency in the market. A small margin between the farm price and the retail price indicates an efficient marketing chain. This study examines the farm-retail price spread for fresh chilies grown in Kediri and Blitar region of East Java. It will focus on the role of traders in determining this price spread. From the data collection, we will know how chilies prices are transmitted from farmers to consumers and the factors that affect prices along the marketing chain.
From the results of this study, the researcher studied the market price efficiency for fresh chilies from farmers to customers through the value chain for East Java. This information can guide changes in business practices that can improve efficiency of the market. Greater efficiency means either higher farm prices, lower consumer prices, or reduced price volatility.

Full textAbstract:
碩士<br>國立勤益科技大學<br>流通管理系<br>102<br>It’s not an easy task to deliver and store foods at a lower temperature. It relies on warehousing services and a transportation system operated by low-temperature logistics centers. Deteriorated commodities, increased business costs as well as customer complaints and loss may arise when failure occurs in related operational processes. A worse situation may jeopardize consumers’ lives and the goodwill of a business. Therefore, reducing failures in an operational process can effectively help prevent risks. One of the major pragmatic approaches is to review the operational process based on the failure records in a business. However, such an approach is a post-investigation and remedy. If control and risk assessment can be made before the operational process starts, the risk of failure will be prevented. Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) is one of the important methods to determine harm and assess risks.
In this study, FMEA and service blueprint are integrated to plan a process blueprint of a low-temperature logistics center. An integrated risk assessment mode is established. First, the concept of process mapped in the service blueprint is applied to divide the operational process. The potential failure points and causes are analyzed. Next, the Risk Priority Number (RPN), meaning the product of the three risk factors including severity, occurrence and detection of failure mode, is determined and verified. Then, AHP is introduced to obtain a relative weight for each risk factor so as to improve weight distribution and provide managers a more objective perspective to determine the priorities while implementing risk control measures. This study refers to a low-temperature logistics center for a realistic case. As a result, thirty risk failure modes are identified. Among those failure modes, damaged commodities in a stack, quantities of goods on delivery orders inconsistent with those on carts, wrong items and non-standard appearances of staff are the most noticeable.

Full textAbstract:
Hydraulic fracturing has unlocked a tremendous resource across the United States and around the world—shale. However, these processes have also come with a myriad of potential environmental effects, including a substantial demand for water. Hydraulic fracturing can require anywhere between two and four million gallons per well. The need for such large quantities of water can produce severe stresses on local water resources.
In response to this issue, operators have developed several ways to alleviate some of the stresses brought on by the extensive water use such as alternative sourcing and reuse technologies. Companies are driven to exercise these options and decrease their fresh water usage for hydraulic fracturing processes for multiple reasons, including changes in regulation, to gain support of local communities, and to increase efficiencies of operations. Whatever the motivation may be, there are a variety of options companies have at their disposal to reduce fresh water demands—dependent on specific formation characteristics, the qualities and quantities of available water, among others.
The Eagle Ford shale is one of the most rapidly growing shale plays in the country. However, this formation is located in a fairly arid part of the country. Because of meager average rainfall totals, water availability to meet demand is an issue of great concern. Due to nearly exponential increases in shale production, stresses on local water supplies have dramatically increased as well.
The objectives of this thesis are as follows: 1) to establish the enormous resource that has become available; while still recognizing the environmental impacts associated with development processes, focusing primarily on water requirements and associated wastewater production; 2) to break down current water demand for shale development, as well as wastewater management practices in the Eagle Ford, with a brief comparison to other shale plays across the country; 3) to obtain an understanding of operator motivation—what factors affect wastewater management strategies; and 4) to analyze techniques operators presently have at their disposal to reduce fresh water demands, specifically through the use of brackish waters and recycling/reuse efforts, and finally to quantify these efforts to evaluate potential fresh water savings.<br>text

Full textAbstract:
碩士<br>臺灣觀光學院<br>觀光與餐旅管理研究所<br>104<br>In recent years, food safety issues have been imposing constant threats to people's food consumption in Taiwan. Consumers are therefore more concerned with the safety of food sources. In response to this concern, Pxmart has adjusted its operational strategies to focus on the development of perishable foods. Apart from featuring more perishable foods in its stores, it follows such production-marketing cooperation strategies as selling local produce and sourcing directly from farmers. It also safeguards the safety of fruits and vegetables via the management model of contractual production and marketing, thus making it the subject of this study. With the Fresh Living Store under Pxmart in Hualien City and Ji'an Township as the subjects of investigation, this study sets out to probe into the relevance between service quality of the stores, customer satisfaction and behavioral intention. The investigation was carried out through questionnaires. In total, 420 questionnaires were sent out and 364 were collected after removing the invalid ones. After that, regression and hierarchical analyses were conducted to verify the various hypotheses proposed in this study. In order to learn about the process, methods and effectiveness of Pxmart's promotion of perishable foods, interviews were conducted with the promotional targets of the project, the lower-level managers and consumers. The findings of the interviews were later organized to serve as references for relevant practitioners.
According to the results of the research:
1. Service quality is significantly positively related to customer satisfaction.
2. Customer satisfaction is significantly positively related to their behavioral intention.
3. Service quality is significantly positively related to customers' behavioral intention.
4. Customer satisfaction plays the role of partial mediator between service quality and
customers' behavioral intention. Service quality is positively related to customers'
behavioral intention via customer satisfaction.
5. There is a significant difference between the interviewees with and without welfare
cards in terms of their thoughts on the reliability of the service quality and their
behavioral intention.
6. There is a significant difference between the customers of different ages in terms of
their thoughts on the reliability of the service quality.
7. The main considerations behind the interviewees' choice of a certain channel are the
distance from home and the possibility of purchasing all daily necessities in one
store.
8. The interviewees are found to be more concerned about the quality of perishable
foods, fish and meat.
9. The channel owner's transformation strategies concerning the perishable foods are
found to be positively related to the overall performance.

碩士<br>國立屏東科技大學<br>熱帶農業暨國際合作系所<br>96<br>Based on the data and activities of Management of River and Reservoir Fisheries Project in the Mekong Basin (MRRF) which has been implemented since 1997-2007 at Eakao Reservoir (120 36’30’’ N, 1080 03’20’’ E; 210 ha), Easoup Reservoir (130 03’18’’ N, 1070 54’07’’ E; 240 ha), and Lak Lake (120 25’23’’ N, 1080 10’34’’ E; 658 ha) in Daklak Province, this study probes historic data on the fishery biology and fisheries management systems of three fresh water bodies in Daklak. Catch and fishing effort in the three freshwater bodies were surveyed during 1998-2002 to estimate the fish yield and fisheries production. Samplings were collected at 6 days a month for all gear types used. The fisheries management systems were surveyed through interview of households, living within 1 km of the water bodies. There were 180 fishing households interviewed with data available such as economic activities, income, diet and the importance of the fisheries, to find out the best way to manage the fisheries resource. A total of 56 fish species belonged to 11 orders and 18 families were identified in the 3 water bodies (including 20 species for Eakao, 46 species for Easoup, and 43 species for Lak). Fishing gear types used in the 3 water bodies were diversified. Twelve main types of fishing gears were classified (10 gear types used in Eakao, 8 gear types for Easoup, and 7 gear types used in Lak). Different catches and fishing effort were found at 3 water bodies. The mean annual yield for Eakao, Easoup, and Lak were 333.6 ± 43.1, 203.7 ± 21.2, and 204.4 ± 22.6 kg/ha/year, respectively. Total catches from major gears were gill nets, lift nets, integrated nets, long lines, shrimp traps, and fence nets with 19 main species caught. Average length and weight of major species caught ranged from 11.6 ± 0.11 to 25.9 ± 0.05 cm and 25.8 ± 0.65 to 423.2 ± 2.44 g, respectively. The highest percentage species caught were omnivore in all 3 water bodies. Total fisheries production during 1998- 2002 were fluctuated annually. Their range at Eakao, Easoup, and Lak were 50.2 - 100 tons, 34.7 - 59.8 tons, and 86.6 - 179.3 tons, respectively. The fishery in Eakao was managed by a fishing group, and its management system has been running very well with high benefits. However, the fisheries in Easoup and Lak were applied by the model of fisheries co-management and they have been managing by Fishers’ Unions with many activities operating very effectively to maintain the fisheries resource.

Thesis (MSc. (Geography and Environmental Science)) -- University of Limpopo, 2015.<br>Fresh water is a finite and vulnerable resource, essential to sustain life, development and the environment. Growth in population and economic activities have contributed to water scarcity, which is a frequent challenge in rural and township communities in South Africa. This study aimed at investigating onsite greywater reuse as a water conservation method in Lepelle-Nkumpi local municipality, Limpopo province. The study described the socio-economic characteristics, assessed the accessibility and availability of water supply, and ascertained the coping mechanisms for water scarcity as well as the perceptions and reuse of greywater. Four percent respondents each were selected from two settlements, namely, Mashite village and Lebowakgomo township (Zone F). Mashite village had a population size of 5314 people (1231 households) and Lebowakgomo Zone F had 5903 people and (1924 households). A systematic random sampling method was used to select the required households from the two settlements. Both open and close ended questionnaires were used. A Geographical Positioning System was also used to collect the absolute location of available taps in the study area. Data collected were analysed using SPSS version-22 and Arc GIS 10.1.
The study found out that the socio-economic characteristics of importance on onsite greywater reuse included highest qualification, household size and employment status, but they varied in these two areas. In Mashite village the majority of the respondents went to secondary school (59%) as compared to Lebowakgomo Zone F where the majority (72%) attained tertiary qualification. Household size mean in Mashite is 6.18 as compared to Lebowakgomo Zone F (2.77). Sixty four percent of respondents in Mashite village were unemployed, whereas in Lebowakgomo 69% were employed. Water usage in the two areas differed; in Mashite village where they use less water (250 to 840 litres) as compared to Lebowakgomo Zone F, where more water is used (5900 to 8001 litres). In Mashite village, 87% of the respondents could not access water due to inaccessibility of taps and unavailability of water as compared to Lebowakgomo zone F (100%). It was also found that the Mashite community sometimes go for a period of two to three months without tap water whereas in Lebowakgomo water was comparatively regular. As a result both communities resorted to rainwater harvesting and greywater reuse. Seventy six percent (76%) of respondents in Mashite village and 30% of the respondents in
ii
Lebowakgomo Zone F harvested rainwater as a coping mechanism of water scarcity. Perceptions of greywater reuse were higher (76%) in Lebowakgomo Zone F compared to Mashite village (49%). A higher percentage of Mashite village respondents (98%) reuse greywater compared to Lebowakgomo Zone F respondents (59%). Both areas use greywater as water conservation method. These results reinforce the potential of domestic greywater reuse as an alternative for freshwater requirement. Greywater reuse as a water conservation method especially in villages can be used to alleviate the extent of water scarcity.<br>National Research Foundation (NRF)
