Full textAbstract:
This critical review serves as a significant formal documentation of the postmodern self-reflexive theatre in the postmodern and post-independence Singapore. Through the Human Lefts Series, which I conceptualised and performed between 2005 and 2009, we are able to look at postmodern Singapore theatre beyond issues relating to the loss of cultural and historical past, which might not be significant for those who were born after 1965. The situation is such that, currently, there is no formal documentation of postmodern self-reflexive theatre in the Singapore context, especially theatre pieces responding to postmodern, post-independence Singapore. This critical review aims to detail analysis made from the Human Lefts Series and its significant contribution to the study of self-reflexivity. More relevant issues to the postmodern Singapore include the current political situation, alternative sexualities (homosexuality and transexualism explored in the Human Lefts Series), and the effect of 'cloning' and appropriation being the key cultural dominant of Singapore. By the end 2009, a total of four pieces of works under the Human Lefts umbrella was showcased to the public. Three main outputs will be discussed in this review. The study aims to answer the following research questions: I. What is self-reflexivity in the postmodern, post-independence Singapore context? 2. How has the Human Lefts Series responded to the self-reflexivity defined in this research? 3. How has the concept of self-reflexivity affected the process of creating the Human Lefts Series? 4. What further inferences can be made, in relation to postmodern theories, from the process of creating the Human Lefts Series? This portfolio also highlights the absence of a physical rehearsal process for the Human Lefts Series. With a clear performance structure, a performer can walk into the performance and begin the delivery of the performance immediately. There is also a discussion on the functions of a performer in a postmodern self-reflexive theatre, in relation to Roland Barthes' essay on The Death of the Author. The performer's experience cannot be totally separated from the character in a postmodern self-reflexive performance. The portfolio consists of the main body of text (the review), a set of appendices and the video recording of the three research outputs. It is recommended to watch the video recording (performances) prior to reading this review.

Includes bibliographical references (p. 120-132).
Singapore government through its Public Utilities Board is interested in opening Kranji Reservoir to recreational use. However, water courses within the Kranji Reservoir catchment contain human fecal indicator bacteria above recreational water quality criteria; their sources and distribution under dry and wet weather are also unknown. The goal of this study was to evaluate the distribution of E. coli under dry and wet weather, to determine the sources of the human fecal contamination, and to validate the use of human-specific 16S rRNA Bacteroides marker for human fecal source tracking in Singapore and tropical regions. Environmental water and DNA water samples (332) collected in the Kranji catchment in January and July 2009, and January 2010 were analyzed for E. coli using Hach m-ColiBlue24@ and IDEXX Colilert Quanti-Tray*/2000. Touchdown PCR and Nested-PCR HF183F assays were used to assess the absence or presence of the HF marker in Kranji catchment. Selected positive HF marker samples were sequenced and mapped using a phylogenetic tree to confirm their similarity in base order to the human factor identified in the temperate climate. The indicator bacteria (E. coli) results showed consistently high E. coli concentrations (geometric mean 3240 CFU/100 ml) in dry and wet weather in residential, horticultural and animal farming areas. The DNA analysis results showed that 94% of the 34 environmental DNA water samples collected in residential, horticultural and animal farming areas were positive to the HF marker. Generally, 74% and 94% of DNA samples respectively collected in dry and wet weather in the Kranji catchment were positive. The sequence and phylogenetic tree analysis confirmed that the HF marker identified was similar to the HF marker identified in temperate climates. Based on the results we conclude that human fecal contamination sources are widespread in the animal farming, horticultural and residential areas of Kranji catchment. The HF marker analysis validated its applicability as 16S rRNA gene of human-specific Bacteroides for human fecal source tracking in Singapore and elsewhere in tropical climates.

Full textAbstract:
Asia’s growth in prominence over the last decade is a phenomenon that has seen some governments and international financial institutions defining the twenty-first century as the Asian Century, in which Asia will be the focus of economic growth (Kohli, Sharma & Sood, 2011). The wealth in the major economies of Asia will see an increase in a dominant middle-income group, with strong spending power not only in terms of lifestyle domestically, but also internationally. This group’s quest for the finer things in life will transform the hospitality industry in countries such as Singapore and Macau: both are international metropolises with numerous five-star hotels and resorts. The subsequent expansion in the hospitality industry in these countries has resulted in a tight labour market whereby the respective governments introduced national policies with varying impact on the labour market. This research will investigate how these national policies are translated into Human Resources (HR) policies by HR managers; what the influencing factors in the translation process are; and the difference between the HR policies between Singapore and Macau.
Before 2002, the then Sociedade de Turismo e Diversoes de Macau (STDM) (now Sociedade de Jogos de Macau) was the only organisation in Macau with a casino within its hotel. This changed when the Special Administrative Region (SAR) government liberalised the hospitality and gaming industry to enable the entry of other operators into the market, in the form of Integrated Resorts and Hotels (IR&H) with both gaming and non-gaming facilities. In 2005 Singapore passed legislation that allowed for the establishment of IR&H that encompass Meetings, Incentives, Conventions and Exhibitions (MICE) and a theme park. The relationship between the national employment policy, the constantly changing labour landscape and the political environment that impacts on the national regulatory policies requires HR personnel to keep abreast of the regulatory changes that could be translated into the HR practices of the IR&H. It is these various and varying factors as they relate to Macau and Singapore that will be examined in this study.
The aim of this research, therefore, is to examine and compare the national employment policies of Macau and Singapore to determine how organisations translate these policies into their HR practice.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis explores migrant labor in South-East Asia by addressing the topic of migration, specifically its causes and consequences. Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore are countries that experienced rapid industrialization from the mid-1960s throughout the 1990s. Simultaneously, the migration of people within the region increased. A key focus is how regional development has contributed to migration flows and to the position of migrants in these countries. Using a migration systems framework from Castles' and Miller's The Age of Migration (2003) that draws on theoretical elements from economics, historical-structuralism and transnationalism, this thesis finds that several factors explain the causes of migration in Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore and the lasting implications migration had in their respective societies. Both macro- and micro-structures influenced industrialization and a migratory labor market. The historical, political, and economic linkages shared among the countries, alongside regional integration and attractive government-led industrialization strategies contributed to large-scale flows of migrant workers within the region. These same factors made migration and settlement increasingly difficult. Consequently, human rights violations of migrants in these countries became more pronounced. Singapore's dominance of Indonesia and Malaysia in the semi-periphery of South-East Asia conditioned the environment that migrants faced in their host societies. Migrant workers from Indonesia and Malaysia enjoyed better treatment in Singapore, because of its targeted labor, immigration, and social policies. In all three countries, settlement patterns of migrant workers were virtually similar to government commitments to prevent assimilation.M.A.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis focuses on how well host country national (HCN) managers are integrated into the management process of Japanese subsidiaries in Southeast Asia and Australia as well as in that of the parent companies themselves. It appears that in the majority of Japanese subsidiaries in Southeast Asia and Australia management control is firmly in the hands of Japanese parent company national (PCN) managers. The most important decisions are made by Japanese employees who are either working temporarily at the overseas subsidiary or at the parent company in Japan.
HCN managers play a minor role in the decision making process, their function is limited mainly the gathering of relevant information or making minor day-to-day
operational decisions. The conclusions are based on a review of the relevant literature and quantitative as well as qualitative data gathered specifically for this research. The data was gathered in two phases, one in 1994 and the other in 1996. Information was obtained from HCN and PCN managers at Japanese subsidiaries in Australia, Malaysia, Singapore, and Thailand. The research instruments included
questionnaires and in-depth interviews.

Full textAbstract:
This PhD thesis explores how bioethics has reconfigured the way we think about, discuss and govern the scientific and medical use of the human body in the UK and Singapore. The thesis starts by analysing the language, knowledge, institutions and mechanisms that allowed people to render intelligible and organise the medical use of the human body before the emergence of bioethics. Then, drawing on the work of Michel Foucault, Ian Hacking and Nikolas Rose, the thesis examines and compares the conceptual, material and political conditions that made it possible, in both the UK and Singapore, to identify the medical use of human tissue as a 'problem of ethics' needing to be assessed and regulated. The thesis furthermore discusses a key component of bioethics - the procedure of informed consent - and analyzes how its use is reconfiguring subjectivities and contemporary notions of citizenship in both countries. On the basis of a systematic content analysis of key bioethics' journals from 1960 to the present and over twenty in-depth interviews with key experts in the field, the thesis makes two important findings. First, it explains how, in the UK, bioethical governance was developed to protect human beings from the dangers of modern science, while in Singapore it was introduced as part of the country's drive to be a modern and developed nation. Second, it argues that bioethical governance has brought into being, through its language, categories, procedures and experts, a new figure of the subject and citizen: the human being capable of reflecting and deciding on his or her own existence. These findings make an original contribution to (1) the sociological study of bioethics and the bioethical governance of the life sciences and (2) the literature on govern-mentality.

Koh, Sin Yee. "British colonial legacies, citizenship habitus, and a culture of migration : mobile Malaysians in London, Singapore and Kuala Lumpur." Thesis, London School of Economics and Political Science (University of London), 2014. http://etheses.lse.ac.uk/823/.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines the relationship between British colonial legacies and a culture of migration amongst mobile Malaysians (tertiary-educated Malaysians with transnational migration experience). Drawing from Bourdieu’s “habitus”, I propose the concept of “citizenship habitus” – a set of inherited dispositions about the meanings and significance of citizenship – to understand how and why mobile Malaysians carry out certain citizenship and migration practices. These practices include: firstly, interpreting and practising Malaysian citizenship as a de-politicised and primordial (ethno)national belonging to “Malaysia” that is conflated with national loyalty; and secondly, migration (especially for overseas education) as a way of life (i.e. a culture of migration) that may not be recognised as a means of circumventing pro-Bumiputera (lit. “sons of soil”) structural constraints. Methodologically, I draw from my reflexive reading of archival documents and interview-conversations with 67 mobile Malaysians: 16 in London/UK, 27 in Singapore, six in other global locations, and 18 returnees. I argue that mobile Malaysians’ citizenship and migration practices have been informed by three British colonial legacies: firstly, the materialising of race and Malay indigeneity; secondly, the institutionalisation of race-based school systems and education as an aspired means towards social mobility; and thirdly, race-based political representation and a federal state consisting of an arbitrary amalgamation of socio-economically and historically diverse territories. The Malayan Emergency (1948-1960) further instilled state-led focus on “racial tensions”, resulting in default authoritative strategies to govern, educate, and motivate the citizenry. These colonial legacies, inherited and exacerbated by the post-colonial Malaysian state, contributed to the institutionalisation of Malaysia’s Bumiputera-differentiated citizenship and race-based affirmative action policies, with particular effects on education, migration and social mobility. By adopting a postcolonial approach to migration phenomena, this thesis highlights the longevity of British colonial legacies with long-lasting effects on Malaysia’s contemporary skilled migration, both in terms of migration geographies and citizenship practices.

What is the reason why Singapore economic development can succeed? People generally think: Its successful reason is strong economic base, abundant fund, consummation finance, perfect banking system, advanced communication facility, convenient communications and transportation, and swift developed port serve etc. But the basic reason successful is human resources. Through the efforts of several dozen more ten years, Singaporean talents produced irreplaceable function in view of economic readjustment and making the transition in knowledge. So, in order to understand the development situations and real effects of Singaporean talent resources in depth, the reason to need to crave for talents from Singapore first carries on the discussion. Singapore educates the systematic talents'' tapping way, should be discussed by 3 respects, one is ordinary high education system, including economic development factor, improving higher education quality, and expand internationalized higher education etc. Secondly, it is a technological education system of the job, including the reform and development, regular with informal vocational and technical education, and adult and learns and trains educating etc. All the life of vocational and technical education; It is Singaporean graduate''s labor market and employment state etc. finally, the comprehensive discussion via these 3 respects materials, to probe into the development way to talent training education in Singapore and influence. Describe the part of higher education in detail even more, include the reason why Singapore pays attention to higher education, high educational reform and development, student shunt the development and result of the way to enter school, and high talent of lush Great Britain of education system, it is the foreign student how to attract Singaporeans to go abroad to study abroad that gets back to Singapore to serve country etc. And vocational and technical education and adult''s unofficial part that educate, include the reason why Singapore pays attention to vocational and technical education, the reform of Singaporean vocational and technical education and labor of the already obtaining employment of development, and Singapore or stepping foot on the new workforce''s population of the job market soon, studies the retraining of education all the life or receives a training again via the adult education, to become new developing talent of lush Great Britain of high technology etc. In addition, the foreign training organization is entered and stationed in Singapore successively in the university of the name, famous institution of higher learning of America and Europe of the world, establish the Singaporean branch school or the training center, offer for Singapore and deepen talent training and world technician further, these policies were all welcomed very much by Singaporean government. So, how to introduce other talents of lush Great Britain of various countries to garrison in Singapore to Singapore, include Singapore''s attracting the foreign talent''s most powerful state of development of bilingual education, tactics of international talent introduction of Singapore, Singaporean government sets up the company in Singapore directly through the stranger, or the famous universities of foreign countries set up branch school in Singapore directly, and foreign famous institution of higher learning or other educational institutions, run a school via bilateral cooperation, set up new developing training organization in Singapore, train talents of more lush Great Britain. But this also produces the social concern that can''t be ignored, but after various kinds of training channels increase, because the improvement by a large margin of competitiveness, will enter the job market''s talents of the lush Great Britain to receiving high education and graduating in the Singaporean native country, produce the social phenomenon of the high low obtaining employment or well educated high unemployment? In addition, foreign talents move in, add the reduction of the native country neonate population, have increased the problem of unemployment to this native? All these are after strengthening talents to foster, the question that must be paid attention to. The Singaporean government offers a series of policies about FDI too. for example: 1.Replenish enterprises through direct or indirect way; 2.Manage and regulate the capital market; 3.Implement talent''s development policies; 4.Science and technology researched and developed the achievement knowledge is protected and waited with the commercialized policy, the above argumentation shows that Singaporean government pays much attention to a foreign a ring of direct investment, no matter foreign transnational enterprises and technical talent move in, or national enterprises and output of talents of lush Great Britain of native country. These foreign direct investment or transnational enterprises move in, and national enterprises and output of talents of lush Great Britain of native country, the help how great on earth is it to Singapore, how is and the government''s policy result, all this part wanted to probe into of research.

Singapore has experienced economic obstacles and setbacks, yet it managed to create remarkable achievements that have amazed the world repeatedly. Singapore has promoted it “internationalization of human resource” vigorously on the core of “accepting internationalization, embracing globalization” to cope with its challenges in economic crisis in the past. Singapore was at the first place on the IMD’s World Competitiveness Yearbooks in 2010, and the “internationalization of human resource policy” certainly was a crucial key to the accomplishment. This assay conducted a series of systematic induction through the methodology of documentary analysis in order to analyze the process of the formation of the internationalization of human resource policy in Singapore. In addition, by analyzing the documents, the mindset behind the persistent enforcement in the policy of internationalization human resource by the Singapore authority was revealed. Yet, the theory, “The Competitive Advantage of Nations” by Michael Porter, was applied in the assay to demonstrate that the Singapore authority was able to improve its national competitiveness by executing the internationalization of human resource via the force of public sector.

This paper aims to explore the industrial policy should have what conditions in order to guide and configure the resources in the process, to promote the competitive advantage of enterprises. In this paper, from the perspective of human capital, through the industrial policy, strategic management literature induction and analysis, found that social capital has an important effect for human capital accumulation, so this paper put forward the "social capital based on human capital" theory. The paper proposition that a country's industrial policy can lead firm’s competitive advantage if it focus on cultivate or introduce human capital based on social capital, then social capital can make human capital "cohesion" and "diffusion". The effect of cohesion strengthens the immobility of human capital, and the diffusion effect increases the externalities of human capital. So, the industrial policy on the construction of human capital can effectively promote the competitive advantage. This paper also observes the actual development case of the pharmaceutical industry in Singapore to support the proposition of this article in its ability to obtain the status of industrial operation. The results show that the talent introduction mechanism, the operation of the talent communicate platform of Singapore pharmaceutical industry, consistency with the assertion of this article.

Since 1970 until 1980, Taiwan folk music became popular, during that moment Jia Chang Liu’s creative team was the top record company. He trained a number of Chinese pop star, for example, Teresa Deng, Fei Fei Feng, Yu Ching Fei. Those pop star caused a lot of attention among the Chinese in Southeast Asia, especially Singapore and Malaysia Chinese been influenced the most, almost every local family know who they were. In the 1990s, after the mainland reform and opening, the emergence of a large number of Singapore and Malaysia pop idols flocked to Taiwan and the mainland market. Taiwan has always been a central base for Chinese pop music, coupled with Taiwan's sophisticated pop music production environment to attract a new batch of the singer to develop their music career. Malaysia and Singapore music producer believe that when to you get popular in Taiwan, is easy for you to enter China market. Lots of singer from Malaysia and Singapore has become mainstream pop music inheritors, some of the mainstream artists was slowly being forgotten, and some of them were failed to become mainstream. Why? Is it the difference business model will lead to a singer’s rise or fall? In this study, the singer will name it as a brand (human brand), through analysis the business model elements. To investigate the effects of this brand singer, divided according to geographical scale international type, national singer brand, and according to different types of brands collect eight singers case data used for analysis, by using the business model element, such as "Value proposition", "design of products and services", "resource deployment", "core strategy", "value networks", "revenue mechanism" total of six elements analysis, the development of the following results: 1."value proposition", "design of products and services", "core strategy", "resource deployment", "value networks", "revenue mechanism", the international brand significantly more than the national brand demand. 2.the international singer each business elements mean, of considerable importance. 3.the national singer average each business element, the remaining operating element of considerable importance, accept "revenue mechanism".

Today, human capital has become the key elements for each industry and business to obtain competitive advantages and sustainable development. To gather better human capital from other countries, many advanced countries provide supportive policies to encourage migration of the highly skilled or the talented people. Besides the talented people have such characteristics which appeal to stick with higher efficiencies, the pulling forces from high-tech companies and multi-national corporations may cause the phenomenon of human mobility among the world. Statistics shows that the growing trend of Taiwan students studying abroad is getting overwhelmed by neighborhood countries such as Mainland China, Korea, and India. This thesis discusses about the migration situation of Chinese people from the selected countries, factors that may affect the human circulation, and the statistics containing the balance shifting among selected countries. Finally, a sketch map demonstrates a full view of human migration was created and may be used as a reference of such policies which are set to attract talented people from other countries.

The human dignity of the unborn child remains uncertain in public policy domain. The importance of rethinking public reasonableness becomes unavoidable in the stage of late capitalism and liberal democracy. Political power, knowledge, and participation are three key elements of policymaking. The human dignity of the unborn child is neglected in the process of policymaking of population politics. There are advocators, United Nations, United States, eugenicists, neo-Malthusians and International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF) in the process of population policymaking at the international level during the past three decades. This research first attempts to focus on the inter relationship among these five advocators and to review how the unborn child becomes missing within the process of international population policymaking. Secondly, Taiwan and Singapore are two test cases to reveal the policy follower roles who adopt the similar dream of modern states. Thirdly, since the personal religious beliefs play a significant role not only in shaping attitudes, but also in economic development, political stability, sexual morality and gender equality. This research adopts qualitative approach the focus group interview to compare the attitude of human dignity of the unborn child between the faith-based people with non-faith people both in Taiwan and Singapore. In this research 24 focus groups will be organized across Taiwan and Singapore, each country contains 12 groups. Each country contains 6 faith-based focus groups and 6 non-faith focus groups. Attempt to find the difference and similarity of population policy between Taiwan and Singapore and to explore how the religious values and the concept of human dignity of the unborn child excluded in the process of demographic policymaking.

This dissertation explains why Taiwan and South Korea experienced democratic breakthrough in the late 1980s, when Singapore failed to do so. It explains this variation in democratic outcomes by specifying the causal mechanisms underpinning the international-domestic political interface of democratic development in these cases. New empirical evidence discovered in the course of this research has confirmed that transnational networks of nonstate and substate actors were an indisputable source of external pressures on the authoritarian governments of Taiwan, South Korea and Singapore during the late 1970s and early 80s. Foreign human rights activists, Christian missionaries and ecumenical workers, members of overseas diaspora communities, journalists, academics and students, along with legislators in key democratic countries allied to the target governments, were found to have raised the international profile of political repression by flagging them as reprehensible human rights abuses. Within the context of an international normative environment where human rights was increasingly considered a legitimate international concern, these transnational actors generated a negative international opinion of the target governments. Such grassroots pressures had the potential to raise the cost of political repression for these target governments with the effect of curbing repressive state behavior, thereby protecting key domestic actors with the potential to effect democratic breakthrough. The extent to which these external pressures could effectively constrain repressive state behavior depended, however, on the immediate geopolitical circumstances of each case. Geopolitical circumstances were also important because they could affect the strength of the protection regime. Thus, the exposition of the transnational protection regime as the causal mechanism underpinning the international-domestic political interface of democratic development requires that we specify the exact role of agency within the international normative and geopolitical contexts in which they operate. This dissertation develops such an abstracted causal model for the purposes of application in other cases and for policy analysis.

The security, resilience and sustainability of water supply in urban areas are of major concern in cities around the world. Their dynamics and long-term trajectories result from external change processes, as well as adaptive and maladaptive management practices aiming to secure urban livelihoods. This dissertation examines the dynamics of urban water systems from a social-ecological-technical systems perspective, in which infrastructure and institutions mediate the human-water-ecosystem relationship.
The three concepts of security, resilience and sustainability are often used interchangeably, making the achievement of goals addressing such challenges somewhat elusive. This becomes evident in the international policy arena, with the UN Sustainable Development Goals being the most prominent example, in which aspirations for achieving the different goals for different sectors lead to conflicting objectives. Similarly, the scientific literature remains inconclusive on characterizations and quantifiable metrics. These and other urban water challenges facing the global urban community are discussed, and research questions and objectives are introduced in Section 1.
In Section 2, I suggest distinct definitions of urban water security, resilience and sustainability: Security refers to the state of system functioning regarding water services; resilience refers to ability to absorb shocks, to adapt and transform, and therefore describes the dynamic, short- to medium-term system behavior in response to shocks and disturbances; sustainability aims to balance the needs in terms of ecology and society (humans and the economic systems they build) of today without compromising the ability to meet the needs of future generations. Therefore, sustainability refers to current and long-term impacts on nature and society of maintaining system functions, and therefore affects system trajectories. I suggest that sustainability should include not only local effects, but consider impacts across scales and sectors. I propose methods for the quantification of urban water security, resilience and sustainability, an approach for modeling dynamic water system behavior, as well as an integrated framework combining the three dimensions for a holistic assessment of urban water supply systems. The framework integrates natural, human and engineered system components (“Capital Portfolio Approach”) and is applied to a range of case study cities selected from a broad range of hydro-climatic and socio-economic regions on four continents. Data on urban water infrastructure and services were collected from utilities in two cities (Amman, Jordan; Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia), key stakeholder interviews and a household survey conducted in Amman. Publicly available, empirical utility data and globally accessible datasets were used to support these and additional case studies.
The data show that community adaptation significantly contributes to urban water security and resilience, but the ability to adapt is highly heterogeneous across and within cities, leading to large inequality of water security. In cities with high levels of water security and resilience, adaptive capacity remains latent (inactive), while water-insecure cities rely on community adaptation for the self-provision of services. The framework is applied for assessing individual urban water systems, as well as for cross-city comparison for different types of cities. Results show that cities fall along a continuous gradient, ranging from water insecure and non-resilient cities with inadequate service provision prone to failure in response to extant shock regimes, to water secure and resilient systems with high levels of services and immediate recovery after shocks. Although limited by diverse constraints, the analyses show that urban water security and resilience tend to co-evolve, whereas sustainability, which considers local and global sustainable management, shows highly variable results across cities. I propose that the management of urban water systems should maintain a balance of security, resilience and sustainability.
The focus in Section 3 is on intra-city patterns and mechanisms, which contribute to urban water security, resilience and sustainability. In spite of engineering design and planning, and against common expectations, intra-city patterns emerge from self-organizing processes similar to those found in nature. These are related to growth processes following the principle of preferential attachment and functional efficiency considerations, which lead to Pareto power-law probability distributions characteristic of scale-free-like structures. Results presented here show that such structures are also present in urban water distribution and sanitary sewer networks, and how deviation from such specific patterns can result in vulnerability towards cascading failures. In addition, unbounded growth, unmanaged demand and unregulated water markets can lead to large inequality, which increases failure vulnerability.
The introduction of infrastructure and institutions for providing urban water services intercedes and mediates the human-water relationship. Complexity of infrastructural and institutional setups, growth patterns, management strategies and practices result in different levels of disconnects between citizens and the ecosystems providing freshwater resources. “Invisibility” of services to citizens results from maximized water system performance. It can lead to a lack of awareness about the effort and underlying infrastructure and institutions that operate for delivering services. Data for the seven cities illustrate different portfolios of complexity, invisibility and disconnection. Empirical data gathered in a household survey and key stakeholder interviews in Amman reveals that a misalignment of stakeholder perceptions resulting from the lack of information flow between citizens and urban managers can be misguiding and can constrain the decision-making space. Unsustainable practices are fostered by invisibility and disconnection and exacerbate the threats to urban water security and resilience. Such challenges are investigated in the context of urban water system traps: the poverty and the rigidity trap. Results indicate that urban water poverty is associated with local unsustainability, while rigidity traps combined with urban demand growth gravitate towards global unsustainability.
Returning to the city-level in Section 4, I investigate urban water system evolution. The question how the trajectories of urban water security, resilience and sustainability can be managed is examined using insights from hydrological and social-ecological systems research. I propose an “Urban Budyko Landscape”, which compares urban water supply systems to hydrological catchments and highlights the different roles of supply- and demand-management of water and water-related urban services. A global assessment of 38 cities around the world puts the seven case studies in perspective, emphasizing the relevance of the proposed framework and the representative, archetypal character of the selected case studies.
Furthermore, I examine how managing for the different dimensions of the CPA (capital availability, robustness, risk and sustainable management) determines the trajectories of urban water systems. This is done by integrating the CPA with the components of social-ecological system resilience, which explain how control of the different components determines the movement of systems through states of security and resilience in a stability landscape. Finally, potential feedbacks resulting from the global environment are investigated with respect to the role that globally sustainable local and regional water management can play in determining the trajectories of urban water systems. These assessments demonstrate how the impact of supply-oriented strategies reach beyond local, regional and into global boundaries for meeting a growing urban demand, and come at the cost of global sustainability and communities elsewhere.
Despite stark differences between individual cities and large heterogeneities within cities, convergent trends and patterns emerge across systems and are revealed through application of the proposed concepts and frameworks. The implications of these findings are discussed in Section 5, and are summarized here as follows:
1) The management of urban water systems needs to move beyond the security and resilience paradigms, which focus on current system functioning and short-term behavior. Sustaining a growing global, urban population will require addressing the long-term, cross-scale and inter-sector impacts of achieving and maintaining urban water security and resilience.
2) Emergent spatial patterns are driven by optimization for the objective functions. Avoiding traps, cascading failure, extreme inequality and maintaining global urban livability requires a balance of supply- and demand-management, consideration of system complexity, size and reach (i.e., footprint), as well as internal structures and management strategies (connectedness and modularity).
3) Urban water security and resilience are threatened by long-term decline, which necessitates the transformation to urban sustainability. The key to sustainability lies in experimentation, modularization and the incorporation of interdependencies across scales, systems and sectors.

Among the rising of Asian economics, Chinese language ability becomes more and more important in the world. Therefore, learning Chinese becomes a trend to follow, and learners’ age has become younger, which is the reason for emphasizing the quality of Chinese instruction textbooks for children. This research through content analysis and comparative research, and according to the comparative framework, to explore the design between Living Mandarin 1 in Taiwan and Huan Le Huo Ban 1A in Singapore. There are three main results of this research: First, there are some different basic textbook information between Living Mandarin and Huan Le Huo Ban. Secondly, the different perspective points to design textbooks will affect arrange the textbook and the contents of students' learning. Third, the different initial concepts to design textbooks and different learners will affect set the teaching objectives. This research, as we found the difference of textbooks editors’ educational thinking and ideas, difference learning environment, as well as differences learners’ degrees will deeply influence textbooks framework arrangements, objectives and contents. Finally, this research will give some suggestions to the editors, educators, other researchers and person of teacher training. We expect to make speaking Chinese language textbook for children will get better, and to help teachers achieve the purpose of teaching Chinese.
