Full textAbstract:
The project is for the central building of a community center used by the communities of Blacksburg and Christiansburg. The building is a space configured as a hub that uses axes to determine entering, exiting and vertical movement. The hub configuration of the building is in concentric rings around the atrium in both space and materials. As materials were brought into the building, they enhanced the strong axial configuration and emphasized the layers surrounding the central hub space of the atrium. There are two pairs of axes in the building. The entrance axes are perpendicular to the faces of the building and provide lines of sight through it. They also establish the paths of entering and exiting the building. The diagonal axes regulate the vertical movement throughout the building.Master of Architecture

Mahmud, Faisal. "Järva Community Center : A social, cultural and religious hub for Järva." Thesis, KTH, Arkitektur, 2011. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:kth:diva-41494.
Full textAbstract:
Why this proposal makes sense... The aim of this project is to research the relationship between a mosque and the functions of a community center. It is located between Tensta and Rinkeby, two suburbs in the north of Stockholm. I believe that the two areas can gain a lot by a shared community center due to both positive and negative similarities. The proximity to Järvafältet and Kista is a great plus in the equation. Kista is another suburb in the Järva area and it has been a huge success with regards to education, entrepreneurship and the IT-industry that re- sides there. My goal was to create a contemporary mosque that stays true to Islamic architectural concepts while I develop a new aesthetic language for the spaces that a mosque requires. How can we use the mosque as an attracting catalyst in order to reach out to the inhabitants in these areas? A lot of people in Järva have roots in other parts of the world. There are a lot of vibrant communities from all over the world in Tensta and Rinkeby. People have great respect for faith and religious matters and consider it to be a major part of their identity. What spaces can a mosque share with the community center for opti- mal use and convenience? My proposal takes into consideration that a mosque has a limited num- ber of days during the year when the worshippers need all the space that they can get. I have therefore proposed to put the mosque next to the sports hall so that the sports hall can be used for prayer and spiritual activities during special events such as the month of Ramadan and Friday prayers. When the sports hall is not used by the mosque it goes back to being just a regular sports hall with an intricate roof. What makes it a community center? To make the project more compelling I have added other functions in order to address the needs and wishes of the inhabitants. There is also a library, a food court, lecture hall/cinema, offices, conference rooms, seminar rooms and a class room.

Mansor, H. N. "The role of school as community hub and its implications on promoting community cohesion towards sustainable communities." Thesis, University of Salford, 2014. http://usir.salford.ac.uk/31935/.
Full textAbstract:
Purpose: The aim of this research is to develop a conceptual framework that incorporatesa new understanding of key elements that address and realign the roles of a school as a community hub in promoting community cohesion. Findings: The final finding is a new conceptual framework for the understanding of local community perspectives on the role of the school as a community hub. This framework enhances significant values and leads to the creation of guidance to promote community cohesion and to sustain opportunities for existing and future development of schools. Detailed themes in the findings demonstrate a need to propose significant strategies to address the key challenges of the role of school as a community hub. Research limitations/implications: This study looks at the relationships that underlie the visions to see the capabilities of school roles as community hub which then highlights significant ways of delivering efforts to promote cohesion in the community. The implementation of the research will depend upon the extent to which stakeholders discern and accept the new inter-relationships and community cohesion principles proposed. Design/methodology/approach: Grounded Theory Methods (GTM) and Rich Picture Diagrams (RPD) were the approaches taken to collecting and analysing the data from two case studies, one situated in the United Kingdom and the other in Malaysia. Practical implications: Promoting community cohesion requires the role of school to be rediscovered as a concept of a community hub that potentially meets current social needs and those of future generations. Practitioners and policy makers need to be aligned with the new conceptual framework as its represent the engagement of the local communities with the strategies and agendas of sustainable communities. Originality/value: In the world of social and culture diversity, this study lays out new understanding and strategies on the conceptual framework of a school as a community hub facility on promoting community cohesion.

Full textAbstract:
Society is facing a great sustainability challenge, where the design of its social systems has made it increasingly difficult for the planet to support humanity. Given the complexity of the sustainability challenge, the planet requires a shift in the way society is organised and a commitment to sustainability from individuals and communities. This thesis explores how neighbourhood hubs can serve as a platform to engage individuals to take an active participatory role in their community. Neighbourhood hubs are defined as: a fixed physical gathering place which intentionally brings people together to carry out services, activities, programs and events that serve the local community. This research sought to uncover the dynamic and engaging characteristics of neighbourhood hubs that attract participants as well as the benefits of hubs to the local community in the form of community capitals. By combining the approach of Strategic Sustainable Development with the engaging characteristics of hubs, this thesis provides a planning tool to help hubs work towards their vision and move society towards sustainability. Neighbourhood hubs are found to be an effective and inspiring way for communities to move towards a vibrant and sustainable future.carlygurr@gmail.com; adrienne.mccurdy@gmail.com; sarahrose.robert@gmail.com

Full textAbstract:
The 21st Century’s living and working environment has been transformed by technological advancements, and affected by the trends of globalisation, financial restriction and citizen participation. In response, many information and cultural organisations [memory institutions] such as galleries, libraries, archives and museums are converging aspects of their collections, services and management. This convergence may be physical or virtual, and the subsequent evolution of operations has implications for sites, staff and users. This research explores the theory and practice of convergence as it is impacting upon a particular group and domain of memory institutions, namely public libraries in Western Australia. In addition there is a focus on the interrelationship of convergence with professional and institutional identity, and with the emerging concept of the information and social commons.The research consists of two principal forms of data collection. Firstly, a survey canvassing the opinions of Western Australian public librarians; and secondly, case studies undertaken in four Western Australian local government areas.The findings from these two methods are used to form recommendations for the best operation of a converged memory institution (CMI). Convergence is suggested as particularly appropriate at the local level, and libraries are recommended as the anchoring domain in a CMI, to maximise social capital and form a community hub. This thesis acknowledges the challenging and complex nature of convergence, but argues that as memory institutions converge they improve the delivery of information and cultural services via the optimisation of collectionutility and process efficiency. Thus greater information and social benefits are achieved, and the value and relevance of the collecting sector is reinforced.

Full textAbstract:
Within the context of this dissertation, community transformative education is regarded as a pathway to an explicit community lifelong learning culture of learning. It aims to liberate
marginalized communities from states of oppressive socio-
economic status-quos within contested urban locations.
The dissertation explores the manner in which architecture can play as a networking tool, in a form of facilitating the social construction and distribution of local knowledge & resources within a contested urban location. Through the identification of global and local issues, new perspectives developed through the consideration and incorporation of local socio-educational networks act as crucial points of focus. The intention of these networks of focus is to use them as tools to improve the contextual circumstances of the contested
urban location, through the empowering and transforming community
learning.
The conceptualized architectural approach of this dissertation, is seen as a tool in which the relationships between communities of different socio-
educational backgrounds in contested urban contexts are enabled and
encouraged to collaboratively construct and employ their own local
knowledge and skills in order to flourish together as one community. Local support is essential for community enablement- as every developmental progress hinge on it as foundation. It is therefore, access to local knowledge and resources that form the foundation of the social production of the
explored space.
This, in turn, has the ability to create an urban environment rich in livelihood-enriching programs and functions, aiming at improving the lives of its inhabitants, and consequently giving rise to atmospherically and spatially rich and improved urban fabric and inclusive learning environments.Mini Dissertation (MArch (Prof))--University of Pretoria, 2020.

Full textAbstract:
Ecosystem-based adaptation (EbA) champions the use of biodiversity and ecosystem services to help people adapt to the adverse effects of climate change. Moreover, EbA presents an exemplary opportunity to confer social-ecological resilience. But how can such initiatives be effectively implemented and managed towards a resilient supply of key ecosystem services? Through case study research on community-led water sow and harvest (WSH) – a traditional form of EbA in the Peruvian Andes – this thesis explores social-ecological conditions for self-organization, collaboration and learning for the adoption of the practice, as well as the emergence of adaptive co-management (ACM) and its potential for building local water resilience. Qualitative data collected from interviews and participatory observations were thematically coded, and analysed for self-organization using the Multilevel Nested Framework (Ostrom 2009) and subsequently for social learning using ACM literature. This study found that self-organization for the adoption of WSH was primarily influenced by strong leadership, the importance of the water resource to the community, and users bonded by formal institutions of collective choice and social norms rooted in Andean culture. In addition, four types of collaboration and five learning activities were found to conform a social learning process and result in social learning outcomes for enhanced adaptive capacity, indicating the emergence of ACM around community-led WSH. By supporting knowledge exchange through a social network, ACM allows the practice to be scaled-up to create enabling legislation, scaled-out to increase the number of communities adopting WSH, and scaleddeep to support cultural internalization of the practice. Such scaling can potentially enable community-led WSH to build local water resilience through: 1) implementation at the landscape level to match the scale of ecological processes that sustain water ecosystem services; and 2) continuous management over time to support adaptive forms of water resource governance in the face of change and uncertainty.

Full textAbstract:
Many diseases, such as cardiovascular diseases, cancer and diabetes, originate from several malfunctions in biological systems. The human body is regulated by a wide range of biological systems, composed of biological entities interacting in complex networks, responsible for carrying out specific functions. Some parts of the networks, such as hubs serving as master regulators, are more important for maintaining a function. To find the cause of diseases, where hubs are possible disease regulators, it is critical to know the structure of these biological systems. Such structures can be reverse engineered from high-throughput data with measured levels of biological entities. However, the complexity of biological systems makes inferring their structure a complicated task, demanding the use of computational methods, called network inference methods. Today, many network inference methods have been developed, that predicts the interactions of biological networks, with varying degree of success. In the DREAM5 challenge 35 network inference methods were evaluated on how well interactions in gene regulatory networks (GRNs) were predicted. Herein, in contrast to the DREAM5 challenge, we have evaluated network inference methods’ ability to predict hubs in GRNs. In accordance with the DREAM5 challenge, different methods performed the best on different data sets. Moreover, we discovered that network inference methods were not able to identify hubs from groups of similarly expressed genes. Also, we noticed that hubs in GRNs had a distinct expression in the data, leading to the development of a new method (the PCA method) for the prediction of hubs. Furthermore, the DREAM5 challenge showed that community predictions, combining the predictions from many network inference methods, resulted in more robust predictions of interactions. Herein, the community approach was applied on predicting hubs, with the conclusion that community predictions is the more robust approach. However, we also concluded that it was enough to combine 6-7 network inference methods to achieve robust predictions of hubs.

The Man Mo Temple（文武廟）Compound on Hollywood Road, Sheung Wan, which comprises three blocks, namely Man Mo Temple, Lit Shing Kung （列聖宮） and Kung Sor（公所）, were built in 1847 . The Temple was built mainly for the worship of Man Cheong (God of Literature, 文昌) and Mo Tai (God of Martial Arts, 武帝). It was important assembly hall where Chinese people discussed issues and resolved disputes in early colonial period. The Temple represented the traditional social organization and religious practices of the Chinese community in the past.
The aim of this study examines the development of Man Mon Temple from 1840s to 1908. This thesis contains six main chapters. The first chapter is literature review of previous researches for Man Mo Temple, as well as presents the objectives and methodology of the thesis. The second chapter explores the reasons for its establishment. The third chapter describes the development of architecture of temple. The forth chapter describes and analyses the Guandi worship （關帝信仰）and Wenchang belief （文昌信仰）in Hong Kong. The fifth chapter evaluates the significance of Man Mo Temple on different periods.

Full textAbstract:
Food hubs, a new model of values-based agro-food enterprise, are promoted by their advocates as a means to simultaneously improve the livelihoods of small and mid-sized farmers, increase the social and environmental sustainability of the food system, and supply the ever increasing consumer demand for health, local food. Noting the contradictions embedded in the promise of simultaneously generating both social values and economic value, this study explores how goals of promoting positive social, economic, or environmental change are achieved and/or inhibited when implemented though marketbased activities. Through a series of three in-depth case studies of food hubs in the Southeastern United States, the three papers compiled in this dissertation investigate how food hubs work to realize abstract non-financial goals (e.g. ‘helping family farmers’, ‘promoting sustainable food systems’) through the mundane work of food aggregation and distribution. Particular attention is paid to the experiences of mid-sized farmers who participate in food hubs, and the historic, material, and subjective processes that influence the development of food hubs and their many stakeholders. Highlighting the tensions and negotiations inherent to the hybrid social-and-monetary work of food hubs, I assert the need for an analytical framework that can account for the more-than-financial dimensions of economic and ethical praxis. To that end, I draw on the theories of J.K. Gibson-Graham to suggest that food hubs are best understood as a form of post-capitalist enterprise situated within a community agro-food economy, wherein reciprocal and interdependent relationships are forged between new economic subjects through deliberate and ongoing negotiation of care via the process and outcomes of diverse economic activity.

The Tohono O'odham Nation of southern Arizona and northern Sonora Mexico has two distinct and distinctive cultural, social, political and federal histories. The American government politically acknowledges one group while the other is entrenched in Mexican social policy that regards Indigenous peoples as equals to the Mestizo population known as campesinos or peasants. The Sonoran Tohono O'odham community of Al Pi'ichkin or Pitiquito, Sonora, Mexico, has managed to persist and survive into the twenty first century despite the presence of an international boundary and the assimilative efforts of Mexican socio-federal Indian policy.This is an exploration of the issue of cultural continuity within the community of Pitiquito, Sonora Mexico via the following eight themes which emerged from my field work: the oral tradition; kinship; tradition and modernity in 2007; the Feast of St. Francis at Magdalena de Kino; nationalism; importance of photography; identity; and cultural persistence. The final ceramic mural along with the accompanying essay will constitute my Ph.D. dissertation project.

Full textAbstract:
The United States government has taken steps to assure underprivileged citizens housing in the form of public housing through the Department of Housing and Urban Development, as well as various humanitarian programs in the form of homeless shelters. Yet, all housing is not equal. Our freedom to choose where we live and what type of house we live in is one revered aspect of life as a United States citizen. We can express our individuality, creativity, and personality through the architectural style of our homes. In this sense it is hard to ask for equal housing. I am suggesting that equality comes from adequate access to social participation, social integration, and power, in other words social inclusion. (Room, 7) Investigating and correcting the causes of social exclusion in order to create social inclusion is necessary in order to ascertain equality of housing in America.
Sir Winston Churchill once said, “We shape our buildings and afterward our buildings shape us.” (Gieryn, 35) But what happens when you do not have power over the shaping of your own building? Is your building still a reflection of yourself? And if we allow building to include the environment in which your home is located, what if previous use of the land left it degraded? Will the degradation shape you?
My thesis considers the question: does the environmental quality and architectural style of public housing in the United States facilitate the social exclusion of these communities? If so, what best practices can we take away from models that have been successful at combatting social exclusion? By answering these questions I strive to develop a proposal to right this currently unjust situation.

Thesis (MEd)--Stellenbosch University, 2011.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The shaping of students. educational aspirations in their school and neighbourhood context is a complex process of confluence, and largely depends on their context-specific perceptions and conceptualisation. From a sociological perspective, this study focuses on how high-school students at a working-class school in a working-class neighbourhood shape their educational aspirations amidst their particular community dynamics. The study uses the analytical lens of space in order to investigate the underlying relationship between youth development and the youth.s educational aspirations in their neighbourhood context. It emphasises students. life experiences in two spaces, namely their residential space (the neighbourhood) and their institutional space (the school). This is an important focus in order to explore the dynamic relationship between students. spatial living dynamics and how they navigate within these to shape their educational aspirations. The study focuses on how the students experience the neighbourhood and school in relation to their educational aspirations, and how these aspects manifest in the shaping of their aspirations. Also key to the study is the students. prior socialisation processes with regard to their educational aspirations. The study.s primary point of departure is that there is a unique relationship between these students. living contexts and how they construct and position their educational aspirations within these contexts. The study belongs within the qualitative interpretative paradigm, as I attempt to describe and understand how these students consciously draw from practices and interactions in their living contexts to shape their educational aspirations. Qualitative research instruments, such as field notes, participatory and non-participatory observations as well as formal and informal interviews, were used to answer the research question and achieve the research objectives of the thesis. The findings are presented in narrative format according to relevant themes, and are also analysed on a narrative basis. The research shows how the students . based on their own resources, networks and interactions as well as their own agency . position themselves in relation to their educational aspirations in order to shape their aspirations. In this way, the study reveals how the participating students dualistically draw from the practices of both their living spaces . school as well as neighbourhood . in order to give content to their educational aspirations; how they navigate the shaping of their educational aspirations .in parallel., as it were, in line with both the aforementioned living contexts.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Studente se opvoedkundige-aspirasievorming in hul skool- en woonbuurtkonteks is 'n komplekse proses van samevloeiing, en hang grootliks van hul konteksspesifieke opvattings en konseptualisering af. Uit 'n sosiologiese perspektief konsentreer hierdie studie op hoe hoërskoolstudente by 'n werkersklasskool in 'n werkersklaswoonbuurt aan hul opvoedkundige aspirasies gestalte gee te midde van hul besondere gemeenskapsdinamiek. Die studie gebruik die analitiese lens van ruimte ten einde ondersoek in te stel na die onderliggende verwantskap tussen jeugwording en die jongmense se opvoedkundige aspirasies in hul woonbuurtkonteks. Die klem val op studente se lewenservarings in twee ruimtes, naamlik hul omgewingsruimte (die woonbuurt) en hul institusionele ruimte (die skool). Dit is 'n belangrike fokuspunt ten einde die dinamiese verwantskap te ondersoek tussen studente se ruimtelike leefdinamiek en hoe hulle daarin hul weg baan ten einde aan hul opvoedkundige aspirasies gestalte te gee. Die studie konsentreer op hoe die studente die woonbuurt en skool met betrekking tot hul opvoedkundige aspirasies beleef, en hoe hierdie aspekte in hul aspirasievormingsprosesse na vore kom. Nog 'n belangrike faktor in die studie is die studente se vorige sosialiseringsprosesse met betrekking tot hul opvoedkundige aspirasies. Die hoofuitgangspunt van die studie is dat daar 'n unieke verwantskap bestaan tussen hierdie studente se leefkontekste en hoe hulle hul opvoedkundige aspirasies daarin konstrueer en plaas. Die studie hoort tuis binne die kwalitatief-vertolkende paradigma, aangesien ek probeer beskryf en verstaan hoe hierdie studente op beredeneerde wyse uit praktyke en wisselwerkings in hul leefkontekste put om hul opvoedkundige aspirasies te vorm. Kwalitatiewe navorsingsinstrumente soos veldnotas, deelnemende en niedeelnemende waarnemings sowel as formele en informele onderhoude is gebruik om die navorsingsvraag te beantwoord en die navorsingsdoelwitte van die tesis te bereik. Die bevindings word in 'n narratiewe vorm aan die hand van tersaaklike temas aangebied en ook op 'n narratiewe grondslag ontleed. Die navorsing toon hoe die studente hulle - op grond van hul eie bronne, netwerke en wisselwerking sowel as hul eie agentskap - in verhouding tot hul opvoedkundige aspirasies plaas ten einde daaraan gestalte te gee. Sodoende onthul die studie hoe die deelnemerstudente op dualistiese wyse uit die praktyke van albei hul leefruimtes - skool en woonbuurt - put om hul opvoedkundige aspirasies te vorm; hoe hulle hul opvoedkundige-aspirasievorming as't ware 'parallel' in pas met albei voormelde twee leefkontekste navigeer.

Coleman, Seitu Akira. "Assessment of the Potential of Proposed Stations of the California High-Speed Rail as Major Hubs for Physical and Economic Development." DigitalCommons@CalPoly, 2018. https://digitalcommons.calpoly.edu/theses/1826.
Full textAbstract:
This study investigated the potential for development of station catchment areas around the proposed California High-Speed Rail System. The study was prompted by a review of practices of Japanese railway company groups that engage not only in train operations, but also in business diversification and property development within the station areas of their lines. These actions allow the company groups to diversify their revenues streams, increase ridership on their lines, and operate as a whole with net profits. This is in contrast to transit agencies in the United States, which only focus on transporting passengers along their lines and do not engage in other commercial activities. This situation limits the potential for transit in the United States to play a larger role in urban transportation.
With the implementation of the California High-Speed Rail System, an opportunity exists to introduce the commercial transit model seen in Japan to the United States. Since the California High-Speed Rail System is a brand-new system with few entrenched interests to impede change, it has the potential to lead as an example of transit operating with net profits and providing additional benefits to the station areas it serves.
However, since planning for station areas to turn into commercially successful activity centers is still a new concept and practice in the United States, a methodology has to be developed to assess the potential for development of station areas. This study set out to answer the two questions: 1) To what extent are the locations of the California High-Speed Rail System’s planned stations currently attractive to development within their respective contexts? 2) Given the information gathered from the study, what policies should be taken to enhance the future development potential of the California High-Speed Rail System’s planned stations as activity centers within their respective station areas?
The potential for development was quantified by calculating accessibility indices for each station catchment area using the inputs of number of jobs, population size, and number of housing units within a gravity model.
The results of the analysis indicate that the station areas at the ends of the alignment in the San Francisco Bay Area and the Los Angeles Metropolitan Area will benefit the most. The next biggest beneficiaries are the major population centers in the San Joaquin Valley, which are Fresno and Bakersfield. Other stations that are not likely enjoy the benefits of a high-speed rail connection as much as other stations are those that have very little development around them currently, such as Kings Tulare and Madera.
However, the potential exists for all stations to enjoy substantial development opportunities if the proper plans, policies, and business strategies are implemented early on and at the corridor level to make the station areas attractive for development. The study makes the following recommendations: Promote the commercialization of train operations and station areas to capitalize on their long-term economic value; Integrate the planning, construction, ownership, and management of train operations and station area development and services to reduce transaction costs; Develop plans or business strategies for each station area to create roadmaps and timelines for their development; And plan for land use activities at station areas on a corridor level to capitalize on specific synergies between station origin-destination pairs (e.g., land use activities that accommodate long-distance travelers between the San Francisco Bay Area and the Los Angeles Metropolitan Area, or those that accommodate commuter needs between up-and-coming station areas in the San Joaquin Valley with major job centers).

Au-delà de l'historiographie habituelle qui pose en termes de continuité ou de discontinuité le problème des rapports entre les communistes (la révolution moderne) et les sociétés secrètes (les rébellions traditionnelles), cette étude contextualise la question des ces rapports dans une perspective micro-historique comparée qui porte sur deux régions différentes sur le plan de la structure rurale, des modalités d'existence des sociétés secrètes et du mode d'action des activistes communistes dans les années 1930-1940. Aux confins des Shaan-Gan-Ning, les Gelaohui (Sociétés des frères et des aînés) jouent un rôle important dès la première phase de l'implantation communiste dans la région avant la Longue marche. Par la suite, ils sont politisés par le centre du parti et intégrés au sein du système communiste territorialisé. Malgré de multiples frictions, le pouvoir communiste encadre leurs activités plutôt qu'il ne les interdit au moyen de mesures coercitives. En revanche, les Xiaodaohui (Sociétés des Petits Couteaux) du nord Jiangsu se dérobent aux tentatives de mobilisation déployées à leur égard dès la rupture du premier front uni. Forces d'autodéfense des intérêts locaux, les Petits Couteaux se montrent ensuite hostiles au pouvoir communiste, instauré peu à peu dans la région après l'éclatement de la guerre sino-japonaise. De leur côté, les communistes n'essayent guère de les politiser et s'appuient sur leurs forces armées. Ils finissent par les interdire et répriment leurs activités à mesure que leur pouvoir se consolide localement. Cette thèse illustre ainsi la diversité et les variations des relations entre le monde des sociétés secrètes et celui des communistes, ainsi que celles des politiques communistes, qui n'ont cessé d'évoluer et de s'adapter tout au long du processus révolutionnaire, dans une logique d'inclusion et d'exclusion des forces sociales au cours de la construction étatique par le PCCBeyond the conventional historiography which has viewed the relationships between the communist movement (modern revolution) and the secret societies (traditional rebellions) in terms of continuity or discontinuity, this study contextualizes the question of these relations in a compared micro-historic perspective centred on two regions showing sharp contrasts as regards social-rural patterns, the structures of the secret organizations and the activities of the Communists before the early 1940s. In the Shaan-Gan-Ning region, the Gelaohui (Brothers and Elders) play an important part from the first phase of Communist implantation before the Long March (mid 1930s). In the following years, they are politicized by the party center and integrated into the territorialized Communist system. In spite of multiple frictions, party power supervises their activities instead of forbidding them. On the other hand, the Xiaodaohui (Small Swords) in Northern Jiangsu do not respond to Communist mobilization attempts either before the collapse of the First United Front (1927) or later. They appear as local self-defense groups which confront the central Guomindang government during the 1930s, the Japanese occupation forces and the Communist armies during the 1940s. As a result, CCP guerrilla initiatives rely on military factors. As CCP power becomes stronger in the late 1940s, the Small Sword groups are suppressed in spite of many local rebellions. The dissertation thus illustrates the diversity and variations both in time and space of the relations between the secret societies and the Communists. In line with several recent works, it also emphasizes the fact that Communist policies did not stop developing and adjusting locally all along the revolutionary process, although a similar logic of inclusion and exclusion of various social forces was at play in what comes to light as a well engineered state building process

Full textAbstract:
In this thesis I outline the contribution Community-based theatre has made to New Zealand theatre. This involves a defining of theatre production as a material practice. Community-based theatre was a tendency from the 1930s, a promise of the left theatre movement and, I argue, was being searched for as a form of practice by the avant-garde, experimental practitioners of the 1970s. At the same time, early Māori theatre began as a Community-based practice before moving into the mainstream.
With the arrival of neo-liberalism to Aotearoa in 1984, community groups and Community-based theatre could become official providers within the political system. This led to a flowering of practices, which I describe, together with the tensions that arise from being a part of that system. However, neo-liberalism introduced managerial practices into state contracting and patronage policy, which effectively denied this flowering the sustenance deserved. At the same time, these policies commodified mainstream theatre production.
In conclusion, I argue that in the current situation of global crisis, Community-based theatre practice has a continuing role to play in giving voice to the multitude and by being a practice of the Common.

In this Bachelor Thesis (20 p.), we present the history and development of "Intelligent Houses", and most important- explore some of the future possibilities in this area. The project has been carried out through an interdisciplinary cooperation between three different educations at the Blekinge Institute of Technology. By conducting a dialogue with various actors with different professions, we have been trying to identify needs within the concept of "Intelligent Houses", were the end user is not only the tenant or homeowner. Through Participatory Design methods, such as a Future Workshop, we have brought the users together to discuss their own and each others needs and hindrances in their respective work practice, and how intelligent house technology could improve their work conditions. We have also been testing a highly sophisticated CO/CO2/Moisture/Temperature/Enthalpy multi-sensor & controller, originally developed for regulating indoor climate systems. Based on the needs we have found in our fieldwork, we have been looking at possibilities to make multi user solutions with the sensor.Björn Wessman, tfn: 0457-12726

Full textAbstract:
This thesis’ purpose is to demonstrate, via the examination of popular youth literature (primarily pulp magazines and comic books) from the 1920s through to the 1950s, that the stories found therein drew their definitions of heroism and villainy from an overarching, nativist fear of outsiders that had existed before the Great War, but intensified afterwards. These depictions were transferred to America’s “new” enemies following both the United States’ entry into the Second World War, as well as the early stages of the Cold War. This transference of nativist imagery left behind the ethnically-based origins of such depictions, showing that racism was not the sole and simple reason for such exaggerated visages. A process of change, in regards to America’s nativist sentiment, so virulent after the First World War, will be explained by way of the popular, inexpensive escapism of the time, the pulp magazines and comic books of the early to mid-twentieth century.

Full textAbstract:
The Bronx Cocked Back And Smoking is a collection of multifarious prose performances recounting the historical, personal, social, political and cultural constructs of a city birthed by violence. This body of work is accompanied by video, audio, photography, and theatre performance texts. St. Mary’s Housing project, in the Bronx, is the foundation where most of this literary work takes place. The modern day Griot (storyteller) is a Poet, guiding his audience through the social inequalities and disparities that plague St. Mary’s community. The Poet shares personal traumatic insights while simultaneously utilizing writing as a form of survival to the conditions of the Bronx. This multi-platform performance highlights the metaphorical and physical concerns with the cycle of violence. This question is answered through the Poet’s choice by selecting the pen over the gun.

Since we can get all the information from the CLOUD, the spaces in the library are no longer just for the collection of books. What else could these spaces contain instead? It is so easy to get any information through the virtual World Wide Web. What attracts people to go to the library is not only the information they can get, but also the realistic interaction engendered by knowledge between people. Public libraries play a significant role in information, education, academics, culture and leisure. They can provide not only information and knowledge, but also spaces for social life. By means of the layout and planning of Culture Map in the middle of Taiwan drawn up by Cultural Affairs Council of Taiwan, the various activities along the Green Corridor contribute to attract people into the library. With its rich public resources, the future library will be at the forefront of education and learning development for surrounding museums and educational institutions and redefined as a large event and information center and new century knowledge navigator.

Full textAbstract:
Thesis is submitted in partial fulfilment for the degree: Master of Architecture (Professional) to the Faculty of Engineering and the Built Environment, School of Architecture and Planning at the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, 2016Hyperembodiment is an approach to negotiating the interface between spaces for women (in Johannesburg’s inner-city) and jewellery as a connector of the body – especially for women – to place. The inner-city, a space that is male-dominated and where women are present but seem to be largely excluded, or to feel unsafe and vulnerable - especially because of what the female body represents in an ‘unsafe’ male space, is also full of vibrancy and activity and has the potential for a positive and radical cultural change, but remains disconnected, nonprogressive and stagnant in thinking as well as non-inclusive of all people. The spatial investigations into places for women (modern feminist spatial concepts) and jewellery as a ‘site’ or interface between the body and architecture, and the interesting parallels it draws between feminist views, space, psychology and the body (process and development of body adornment and jewellery theories), are powerful ways of thinking about space that could suggest an appropriate architectural approach that could realign both spaces for women, a modern approach to the act of making, and creative jewellery practices in Johannesburg. The spatial connotations of the word ‘hyper’ is something that is ‘very’, ‘beyond’, or ‘very active’ and those of the word ‘embodiment’ is something ‘embodying’, ‘representing’ or ‘expressing’ a space. The compound word ‘Hyperembodiment’ used here means beyond embodiment, or very actively personifying a space and its innate properties of land, earth, materials, and the bodies (people) in it. It is also all the layers of embodiment – physical, historical, social layers – that are collaged together in one time and in one space to create a high-intensity and complex expression of place. Jewellery as a connector; for the body and for woman to place, would be these collaged layers made into a physical object and symbol made from the materials, earth, historical and social layers. It is a simultaneous case of the wearer embodying the place, and the place embodying the wearer.

Full textAbstract:
Thesis (MTech. degree in Architecture: Professional)--Tshwane University of Technology, 2008.The aim of this dissertation is to design an urban-agricultural building to facilitate small scale intensive farming on the edge of the city of Durban. The buildings assume the typology of a vertical farm which has been named the 'ZED' farm, 'ZED' being dichotomous. Firstly the term has been borrowed from Bill Dunster Architects who coined the acronym 'ZED' (Zero Energy Development), which is one of the project's inherent objectives. The second meaning of 'ZED' is a translation of the building's main programmatic function of production in the vertical Z-axis. The site is located on the interface of the metropolitan edge, in an area bustling with activity ranging from industry, trade, recreation, public transportation, and a residential component. This area is flanked by the Umgeni Road corridor and the Suncoast Casino lifestyle entertainment centre along the beachfront.

The thesis explores the role of Architecture in enhancing a sustainable rural livelihood in Botswana. Moshupa village is analyzed and assessed to create an alternative, self-sustainable model for rural development that can add value to the local economy, by fostering self-reliance, capacity building and empowerment.
Through the design of an Integrated Community Hub for Moshupa, the thesis attempts to embrace the changing dynamics of a village. It explores strategies that would inject life into the village making it a desirable place for younger generations and women to live, similar to what is currently achievable in towns and cities. Most importantly, the design principles and guidelines of traditional building techniques are explored through studying spatial habitation and organization. Materiality of built form and study of details are examined in search for an architecture that belongs to a place, by responding to the current economic, cultural, technical and environmental challenges in Botswana.

Full textAbstract:
Over the years, growing concerns were raised about the serious effect that HIV stigma has on the global HIV and AIDS-prevention response, with appeals to regard HIV stigma reduction as one of the most important factors that need to be addressed in any HIV-prevention strategy. Studies have found scant evidence of comprehensive community-based approaches to reduce stigma, as few of the existing strategies address the community, but maintain the focus mainly on behaviour change in the individual. This research study is a follow-up study to two other studies. The first study focused on people living with HIV (PLWH) and nurses in health care settings; and the second was a trans-disciplinary, comprehensive, community-based HIV stigma reduction and wellness-enhancement intervention that involved PLWH and people living close to them (PLC). This HIV stigma-reduction community “hub” network intervention was specifically planned as an intervention for the community, targeting PLWH and their community members who live in the same ward in the Tlokwe municipality in the North West Province of South Africa.
The objectives of the study were to explore, describe and determine whether an HIV stigma-reduction community “hub” network intervention in a South African urban area will make a difference in the HIV stigma experiences of PLWH, as well as related stigmatisation by their community; to describe the implementation of this intervention; and to determine the change in depression and psychosocial well-being of PLWH and their community before and after the intervention.
The HIV stigma-reduction community “hub” network intervention defines a “hub” as a two-person mobiliser team consisting of a PLWH and a non-infected PLC who are inhabitants of the same community and functions from a “hub” in the community. The strategy is based upon the involvement of PLWH and PLC, as community mobilisers, who share their knowledge and who mobilise and empower their own community to reduce HIV stigma.
A convergent parallel mixed-method design with a single case pre-test post-test design for the quantitative data, and an interpretive description approach for the qualitative data were utilised. The sample for this study included PLWH recruited through accessibility sampling as well as community members living in the same municipal ward through random voluntary sampling. Valid measures were used to determine and describe whether the HIV stigma-reduction community “hub” network intervention will affect change in the HIV stigma experiences of PLWH, the perceived stigmatisation by their community, as well as the depression and psychosocial well-being of both PLWH and the community. A sub-sample of both groups was selected by means of purposive voluntary sampling for the qualitative part of the study, consisting of in-depth interviews about stigma experiences of PLWH, as well as stigmatisation of the community toward PLWH. For the description of the HIV stigma-reduction community “hub” network intervention, a holistic single-case study design was used. Participants were recruited according to accessibility, during the various community activities, with no differentiation between PLWH and people of unknown HIV status residing in that community.
Findings indicate that the HIV stigma-reduction community “hub” network intervention, as planned and implemented, was successful in initiating the onset of changes in a community through the PLWH and PLC, as community mobilisers were active in the community “hub” network to mobilise their own communities towards HIV stigma reduction, sharing their knowledge and mobilising and empowering their own community. Changes were observed on an individual and social level. Recommendations focus on using and strengthening the present community intervention, adjusting some of the scales used in this study and ensuring stronger collaboration between health and social disciplines to address the various manifestations and to change the contexts of HIV stigma. It is furthermore recommended that future HIV stigma-reduction interventions give special attention to addressing aspects of psychosocial well-being.PhD (Psychology), North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2015

Full textAbstract:
Decaying urban spaces are common in post-industrial New England. When manufacturing activities withdrew from New England they left holes in the urban fabric. Physical absence of these former economic drivers is easy to note in empty mill buildings, warehouses, and storefronts. Farther reaching impacts of this exodus are less apparent. Jobs went with manufacturing. Raw materials needed to be harvested and made available to manufacturers; the finished products needed to be distributed, sold, and moved; supporting businesses provided for these needs. Many other groups supported manufacturing; some through the management of the companies, some catered to workers’ needs, or the needs of workers’ children and families. This network of groups and individuals connected to industry made up vibrant communities in the heyday of manufacturing in New England. When manufacturing left many of the groups providing support functions collapsed. Many people moved away, or if they stayed they were left unemployed or underemployed. Whole communities were damaged when manufacturing left New England. Many have not yet fully recovered. The goal of this thesis is to propose a path toward the revitalization and repair of the urban fabric of depressed post-industrial communities in New England.
Many post-industrial New England communities have lost their identity. These places have empty buildings, empty lots, and their main streets, former “downtowns,” are quiet. There is little to recommend these areas as a place to be. These depressed and decaying places need revitalization. They are no longer centers of manufacturing or industry; they need a new identity, one that reflects what they are now and what they would like to become in the future. Revitalization should be grounded in a study of the unique place it addresses. There are communities and inhabitants present in even the most depressed places. These groups need to be recognized and their needs identified before revitalization can be undertaken. Revitalization should be inclusive. Residents should feel encouraged to stay in, and be proud of, their community. Revitalization should be sustainable; socially, ecologically and economically. If revitalization of a depressed area calls for attracting more residents and businesses, those targeted to inhabit the revitalized space should fit into the existing community, not displace it. This thesis proposes a revitalization of a depressed post-industrial area of Millers Falls, Massachusetts in the vicinity of East Main and Bridge Streets. This revitalization proposal will be carried out within a framework of study of place, inclusivity, and holistic sustainability.

Understanding of carbon cycling in coniferous forests that represent a large carbon sink is crucial for our understanding of natural processes under global climate change. Recognition of fungi as fundamental decomposers can contribute to this understanding. Fungi are able to decompose numbers of substrates and possess a variety of enzymes to do so In this study I present litter decomposing fungi in mountain spruce forest from national park Šumava. The aim of my thesis was to follow succession and community changes of fungi from the early stages of decomposition of Picea abies needles until degradation of organic matter in the organic horizon of the soil. This aim was accomplished partly by recording the extracellular enzyme production of fungi in different stages of decomposition from needles attached to the twigs of a fallen tree to a litter material in later stages of decomposition on the soil surface. In addition to testing of fungi on their natural substrata - needle litter, enzyme activities were also measured in laboratory agar cultures, which allow comparison of diverse fungi with different origins. Enzyme activities were aimed at enzymes decomposing cellulose and compounds found in litter. Although ecology of endophytic and saprothrophic fungi suggest differences in enzyme production, these...

Запоріжжя : ЗНУ, 2020. 93 с.UA : Мета дослідження: вивчення особливостей діяльності молоді як суб`єкту соціальної роботи у громаді та пошук шляхів її оптимізації. Об’єкт дослідження: система соціальної роботи у громаді. Предмет дослідження: молодь як суб’єкт соціальної роботи у громаді. Методи дослідження: методи понятійного аналізу, абстрагування, аналізу, синтезу, індукції, узагальнення, систематизації. Гіпотеза дослідження: молодь як суб'єкт соціальної роботи у громаді має більший вплив на молодь як об'єкт соціальної роботи завдяки єдності психофізіологічних характеристик. Ефективність соціальної допомоги можлива через розуміння, підтримку, власний приклад життєвої стратегії. Висновки: 1. Традиційно в теорії та практиці соціальної роботи досліджується питання проблемної молоді (алкоголізм, наркоманія, злочинність, ігроманія, суїцид), а звичайна молодь залишається поза увагою. Актуальним є розгляд молоді не в якості проблеми, а в якості суб’єкту соціальної роботи – залучення молодих людей до діяльності громадських організацій, волонтерства, реалізація соціальних проектів, стажування. 2. Загальні (універсальні) технології соціальної роботи з молоддю можна розглядати як систему оптимальних способів перетворення, регулювання соціальних відносин і процесів життєдіяльності молоді, яка має важку життєву ситуацію. Загальні технології соціальної роботи з молоддю розробляються на підставі практичного досвіду установ з надання соціальної допомоги і підтримки молоді.
EN : Research purpose is to study the features of youth’s activity being the subject of social work in the community and find ways to optimize it. Research object is the system of social work in the community. Research subject is youth as a subject of social work in the community. Research methods are principle of objectivity, systematicity, historicism, ascent from abstract to concrete, conceptual analysis methods, abstraction, analysis, synthesis, induction, generalization, systematization. Research hypothesis is that youth being the subject of social work in the community has a greater impact on youth as an object of social work due to the unity of psychophysiological characteristics. Effectiveness of social assistance is possible through understanding, support and own life strategy example. Conclusions: 1. Traditionally, the theory and practice of social work explores issues of troubled youth (alcoholism, drug addiction, crime, gambling, suicide), while ordinary youth remains out of our focus. It is important to consider youth not as a problem, but as a subject of social work meaning the youth involved in activities of public organizations, volunteering, social projects implementation, internships. 2. General (universal) technologies of social work with youth can be considered as a system of optimal ways of transformation, regulation of social relations and processes of youth’s life activity, having a difficult life situation. General technologies of social work with youth are developed on the basis of the institutions’ practical experience of providing social assistance and support to young people.

Since 2010, “Urban Regeneration Station” (URS) is a new policy agenda of Urban Regeneration Office of Taipei City to pursue the creative city idea which has been propagated globally. It seeks to foster creative talent, simultaneously, to exercise the community activation policy of Taiwan that is for boosting urban creativity and vitality. However, certain scholars, such as R. Florida (2002), have doubted that the hybrid between creative city agenda and traditional community activation or cohesion policy could be a win-win solution for developing a creative city within a closely connected community. For exploring the exercise of this expected win-win solution in Taipei, this essay develops three main questions in a case study of Chung Shan Creative Hub (URS21): Firstly, how can the creative city ideas and nurture creative talent merge with community activation policy, and have been practiced in URS21? Secondly, how have the URS21project which are trying to combine nurturing creative talent with activating local communities been constructed and practiced? What are the impacts and gaps within the practice? Finally, what kind of relevance between creative talent and local communities in the win-win solution of Taipei city? This exploration takes a qualitative research approach with the analysis and discussions of deep field works, semi-structural interview, participant observation and the document analysis. The conclusions contain three main parts: the first shows that Urban Regeneration Office’s alleged community cohesion building and empowerment has not provide enough opportunities for community participation, community knowledge building and decentralization of decision-making. The second is that, the operation of the URS21 project lacks of institution instruments, clear understanding and objectives in relation to fostering community cohesion (or activation) and creative class. This results in the vague strategies, passive attitude, contradictions and difficulties in the process of struggling to achieve local government’s expected combination of creative class and local communities. Such issues also get worst by the inefficiency and limitations of cross-sectoral integration with different local authorities and local sectors. The third demonstrates that the practice of the hybrid between creative city agenda and community activation policy is not a win-win solution by the current URS policy agenda. Nonetheless, it has generated certain meaningful lessons and other possible contributions for local officials, researchers or communities.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the development of the Burmese-Chinese community on Hua-shin street, Chung-he City through the perspective of ethnic economy. Since 1960, a lot of Burmese-Chinese immigrants to Taiwan lived in a compact community on this place. In Taiwan, they constructed the unique Chinese community with rich Burmese culture. After Burmese Chinese settled down on Hua-shin Street, specific ethnic captal and ethnic labor market construct Burmese-Chinese economic community which they live on. Five chapters are arranged in this thesis including Chinese made livings in Burma before, residence in Myanmar, the immigration of anti-Chinese movement, Ethnic economic community constructed by Burmese-Chinese in Taiwan, recurrence of culture on Hua-shin Street, the construction of Burmese-Chinese clubs, building of Burmese temples, and the network and floating of immigrants on Hua-shin Street. Through arranging the system of the chapters, the author analyzed the deep field observation of cross-boundary phenomena. In Burmese society, Burmese-Chinese are shown as Chinese in Myanmar; however, arriving at Taiwan, they show the characteristics of “Burmese culture”. This research discusses the construction backgrounds and reasons of this special phenomenon of people. In 1996, Myanmar government gave up the policy of closing the country to international intercourse and opened herself toward international societies, Burmese-Chinese in Taiwan and the Chinese in Myanmar started the interaction across the boundary. The Burmese-Chinese ethnic economic community in Chung-ho city emphasized the specific culture surface of ethnic community on Hua-shin Street, Chung-ho city because of the international interaction.

This study is directed against the stakeholders of Hua-shan community. The main purpose is to investigate the differences between stakeholders’ perceptions of tourism impact on Hua-shan community, basing on Social Exchange Theory.The content of this qualitative research is composed of semi-structured interviews with residents, dealers, officials, and tourists, including three aspects of tourism impact: economical impact, real environmental impact and social cultural impact.There have been 20 interviewees deeply interviewed in purposive sampling method from January to February, 2012, including five residents, dealers, officials and tourists individually.The result shows that, there exist differences between stakeholders’ perceptions of tourism impact.In perception of economical impact, the tourism development of Hua-shan community is considered to bring positive economic benefits, including the raise of resident income and employment opportunities, the encouragement of invest willingness, and the growth on community land values.In terms of price fluctuation, some stakeholders thought the prices of goods in local shops are too high, and the service qualities are inconsistent.In perception of environmental impact, tourists hold different viewpoints of adding outdoor recreation equipment and community landscape from the other interviewees but no difference in the effect of tourism development on community environment, basic infrastructure and quality of local life.In perception of social cultural impact, stakeholders hold similar viewpoints of preserving community cultural properties, promoting community cultural activities and increasing community identification of local residents.

Hua-shan, an unknown village in the mountains, went through the damage of 921 earthquake and mudslides before. To rebuild local residents’ lives, the Community Development Association led residents to devote themselves to this reconstruction. The Community Development Association proposed the idea of operating coffee industry, and flourishing accommodation, catering and recreation industry. With residents’ wholehearted dedication and constant support of government, Hua-shan Community finally has been reborn. From scratch and from distrust to admiration of residents, the Community faced difficulties and setbacks. At the beginning, in order to increase the popularity of Hua-shan and create business opportunities, the Community assisted and guided people to develop recreation industry. Since 2001, the recreation industry has been growing. In 2003, the first Taiwan Coffee Festival was held. Due to media reports, “Gu-keng Hua-shan” sensationally became the origin of Taiwan coffee. When tourists come to drink “authentic” Taiwan coffee, and enjoy the scenery in Hua-shan, recreation industry will thrives in the meantime. Hua-shan Community was successfully transferred from first level industry to third level industry. This success is credited by the Community Development Association. The Community indicates that if people expect Hua-shan to be managed sustainably, all they can do is to respect the natural ecology and traditional industry, since they both are Hua-shan’s features, the core values

Hakka people are the major population in Wo-Gou-Shuei. They explored the land for farming in the early stage with ‘Worship Union’. Therefore, the Worship Union was a very important organization in Wo-Gou-Shuei village and also played a quite complicate role in the Hakka society. ‘Chang Hui’ is the other name for ‘Worship Union’ which has been operated successfully in old days. However, due to government’s policies, social value and economy changed, Chang Hui’s financial power and social influence decreased drastically. On the other hand, some properties of ‘Chang Hui’ had been occupied or sold illegally, which has caused many interior problems. Hence, Chang Hui almost lost its influence in these days. Although the Hakka Community Development Association (HCDA) may take over the role of Chang Hui in the village, however, the family-bonding of the HCDA is far less than that Chang Hui did. Hence HCDA do not have any control power over village people and may not as easy as Chang Hui to implement the public works. Binding Chang Hui and the HCDA may bring all village people more closed. By doing so, Chang Hui not only can play a new role in village but also can restore its historical social status. The community development affairs can be done more smoothly. It may also create a unique feature of modern Hakka community.

However, it could be found in some literature that developing Community Cultural Creative Industry brings communities not only the economic benefits but also the last of community culture and the cohesion of the commune’s affection. So the impacts of developing Community Cultural Creative Industry are plural. Therefore, the author used the concept of Policy Impact Evaluation theory and combine with the theory of Community Cultural Creative Industry. Then the author advanced the framework of Policy Impact Evaluation on Community Cultural Creative Industry. Moreover, this research had taken the developing Zeng-Cu Community at Chang-Hua County as the case.

Besides, the author also took questionnaire survey on Zeng-Cu commune, and last, suggested future development approach. This research found: community should let commune predominate the industry form and its administration; the local government should assist and coach but not predominate the community. Developing Community Cultural Creative Industry could produce all kinds of expected or unexpected, tangible or intangible, positive or negative impacts. But we could know from research outcomes: developing Community Cultural Creative Industry produce some impacts of theoretical framework; the local government dominate the developing of Community Cultural Creative Industry; the development and administration of Community Cultural Creative Industry depend on local government and minority commune’s participation; and the general commune are passive. So the author suggested: 1. When developing Community Cultural Creative Industry, local government should change the top-down policy execution way , and should coordinate and cooperate with commune. 2. Returns the administration of Community Cultural Creative Industry to the commune. Therefore, we should cohere the commune a common view, and set up a participation channel. 3. Community must plan the specific Community Cultural Creative Industry development strategies, and strengthen the development and marketing of industry products.

Architectural design can be used as a tool to assist in integrating Syrian immigrants into American culture. Conceived of as a vital place-making technique, architecture can build Syrian community in the United States, while maintaining and promoting the links to Middle Eastern heritage. This thesis draws upon the lived experience of a large Syrian population in Worcester, MA, and makes a case for design in the development of a Syrian-American community center. This Syrian-American community center seeks to satisfy three goals. First, it offers a space for Syrian immigrants to better transition into American culture while also staying strongly connected to their Syrian culture. Second, the center helps to integrate Syrian people of different religious backgrounds and generations and promote the development of a shared Syrian-American community. Third, it aims to raise awareness among non-Syrian Americans of Syrian immigrants and culture.
Towards these ends, the design of the community center is driven by Syrian concepts and culture. It includes spaces to support group programming, educational and cultural classes, exhibitions, parties, festivals, and performances. The design centers around an interior courtyard, representing the family or the heart of the home. Through this concept and the reimagining of traditional Syrian elements such as materials and patterns, the community center promotes and encourages relationships among its users and aids Syrians in transitioning into their new lives.

Modern urban problems such as traffic, pollution and land over development, have emerged in Taiwan city long ago. While we focus on the existing problems, we should also explore the alternatives of developing opportunities other than urban areas. This would help to solve the problem of city’s heavy population and to reach a development balance between urban and suburban areas. The research will focus mainly on the scope of “traditional natural village”, which is not only full of historical and culture meaning but also the best home base of the future green valley. Traditional natural villages are formed way back in the colony development society in Ching Dynasty. After two to three hundred years of historical transformation, solid cultural elements have incorporated. Space is not the only element changed, “time” factors is the most essential element. To explore the geographic environment of traditional natural village transforming ecological community, the research examine the existing traditional natural village located in central Taiwan—Yuan-chiuan village, Ershuei City, Chang-hwa County. The first part of the research will establish a series of ecological community planning pattern through conducting traditional natural village research and symbiosis ecology planning literature review. We also document resident’s actual living patterns through conducting field study to explore a workable implementing pattern that suits the residents of Yuan-chiuan village, Ershuei City, and to create a pattern that can serve as a reference for performing planning execution. The second part of the research will try to realize the concept of symbiosis ecological community to the real life geographic environment through the ecological planning of the Yuan-chiuan village, Ershuei City. By demonstrating with charts and models, we explain how a traditional natural village was transformed into an ecological community with a hope of serving as a reference for future actual execution.

This thesis explores the stigmatization of SARS victims in the period of SARS and post- SARS in Taiwan. The stigma still has influenced on the live of victims after the event. The method of deep interview is used to examine the residents of Hua-Chang community which were seperated by the government of Taiwan during the crisis of SARS. By interviewing 23 cases, I find the stigma on residents has various forms of being shunned, rejected in the domains of work, education, interpersonal relationships and medical treatment. Because of the crude decision and implementation of Taiwan’s government , the negative report by media, residents in Hua-Chang community have been suffering by the stigma and PTSD(Posttraumatic Stress Disorder) . Although residents with different economic and social capital can use different ways to reduce their stigma, including the concealment of their status, the blame for government’s policy, and the mistake of media report. The stigma on the residents has still influenced the victims even if the government has promise to improve their environment in the post-SARS era. By discovering the residents’ experiences and the problems of SARS policies, it is important to consider how to reduce the stigma by the epidemic control measures, and develop a more human treatment for the public health policy.
