Thesis (MTech (Town and Regional Planning))--Cape Technikon, Cape Town, 2004<br>Urban environments are by their very nature vastly complex with regard to the way they operate and how they perform in terms of quality of life. The influence of public transportation on the urban environment was highlighted by the erstwhile South African Minister of Transport, Mr Abdulah Mohamed Omar (Department of Transport 1999) when he said that in order to ensure sustainable urban environments, public transportation needs to be the preferred mode of motorised transportation in our cities.

Abstract:

Stockholm is growing very fast and many new housing investments are under construction outside of the city center. Suburbs are getting densifed and readjusted to modern needs as this is where many of us live today and be living in the future. At the same time our society is aging. Sweden today has 1,6 million inhabitants over 64 years old. This number is expected to raise up to 2,7 million in 2060, which means that approximately 1 in 4 people will be aged over 64*. Current urbanization rate of Sweden is oscillating around 85%, therefore the vast majority of Swedish elderly will be living in ci

Abstract:

Ageing has become a significant research area in the last few decades. The most important reason that makes ageing issue significant is the increasing rate of the older indviduals within the population all around the world. Statistical data on ageing both in Turkey and in the world reveals that, in the near future, the number of population over 65 will increase dramatically. It can be asserted that there will be an urgent need of specifically designed accommodation for this portion of the population. Hence, this thesis intends to search for and practice a design solution for the elderly housin

Abstract:

By 2060 it is estimated that 30% of the European population will be 60 years or older. An aging society will put a heavy strain on the healthcare system. To mitigate this strain and enable elderly to live autonomously in their homes the AAL program was formed. With healthcare and health monitoring systems operating in home environments questions regarding privacy and security should be among the top priorities. The aim with this systematic literature study is to identify common privacy concerns, analyze and map them to areas within the field of computer science. 1000 studies were reviewed and

Abstract:

Population ageing is set to become one of the most significant challenges of the 21st century, with implications for almost all sectors of society. Especially in developed countries, governments should immediately implement policies and solutions to facilitate the needs of an increasingly older population.

As we navigate the world, for example when driving a car from our home to the work place, we continuously perceive the 3D structure of our surroundings and intuitively recognise the objects we see.

We largely take these abilities for granted, but for robots, the task of understanding large outdoor scenes remains extremely challenging.

Rats are one of the most commonly used animals in research. Differences in rat housing lead to differences in brain, behaviour, physiology and health. These differences can also affect rat welfare and the validity of data obtained from these animals.

Abstract:

Aphasia has a significant negative impact on an individual's ability to communicate in his or her daily living environment. When this environment offers limited communication opportunities, as is generally believed to be the case in long-term care facilities such as nursing homes, aphasic individuals may suffer doubly. These individuals have to deal not only with limited communication abilities, but they also have few avenues to use spared abilities. This investigation characterized the communication environments of three severely aphasic nursing home residents by determining their interactant

Lack of physical activity among New Zealanders is typically regarded as a serious public health concern.

As well as conferring health benefits, leading an active life can help to build social capital, achieve manual tasks, enhance enjoyment, and reduce traffic congestion and pollution. The research of physical activity in New Zealand is, therefore, important. Many factors influence physical activity behaviour, but traditionally there has been a focus on individual-level behaviour-change app

Abstract:

Semi-arid environments are zones where annual precipitation is less than a half of annual potential evapotranspiration, yet water availability is high enough to allow tree growth. Climate change is expected to have a major impact on forests growing at those regions. Rising atmospheric [CO2] (Ca) is expected to increase forest productivity. However, this fertilizing effect may be partially offset by an increase in water stress, either by reductions in water availability or by increases in atmospheric evaporative demand. Additionally, species-specific responses to climate change may further prom
