The Province of West Nusa Tenggara (NTB) suffered a series of earthquakes which began on July 29, 2018 (M6.4) as a foreshock, August 5, 2018 (M7.0) as the first mainshock, 9 August 2018 (M6.2) as aftershocks, and 19 August 2018 which was preceded by M6.3 foreshock and M6.9 second mainshock. This earthquake disaster has caused many casualties. Some casualties were injured by the light damaged to collapsed buildings and infrastructures. Based on Presidential Instruction (INPRES) No.5 of 2018, Ministry of Public Works and Housing (PWH) was assigned to carry out rehabilitations and reconstructions after the earthquake. The areas that had been affected by the earthquakes are Mataram city, North Lombok Regency, West Lombok Regency, Central Lombok Regency, East Lombok Regency, West Sumbawa Regency, and Sumbawa Regency. The Mandate of INPRES No. 5 of 2018, is that the reconstruction process must be carried out using earthquake resistant building technology and in a short time. To answer these tasks and challenges, the Ministry of PWH used the construction of Simple Healthy Instant Houses (Rumah Instan Sederhana Sehat or RISHA ), as earthquake resistant building technology that had been developed and owned by the Ministry of PWH. RISHA construction is not only an earthquake resistant building technology, but also a construction using knock down technology with precast system so that it can be constructed in a relative fast time. This paper discusses the activities of reconstructing educational facilities in Sumbawa Regency, NTB Province using RISHA construction.

The first earthquake code in Turkey was enacted in 1944. Revisions were issued in 1949, 1953, 1961, 1968 and 1975. At the time of March 13, 1992 Erzincan earthquake, the seismic resistant design code in effect was the code adopted in 1975, Specifications for Structures to be Built in Disaster Areas. The code has provisions for other disasters—avalanches, landslides, floods, and fire—in addition to earthquakes. The code was prepared under the auspices of and issued by the General Directorate of Disaster Affairs of the Ministry of Public Works and Settlement (formerly Ministry of Reconstruction and Resettlement) and enacted into law by ruling of the Council of Ministers. The complete code is included in the latest issue of Earthquake Resistant Regulations: A World List, published by the International Association for Earthquake Engineering (1988). A draft of revisions to the 1975 Turkish building code is currently in the final review process. This proposed code revision was being circulated for review at the time of the March 13 earthquake.

Background: In 2001 a number of limitations and inconsistencies were noted in the Peruvian national health system. In addition to long-standing structural issues, challenges emerged related to social determinants of health as well as health workers’ attitudes and skills. Objectives: The purpose of this paper is to describe some of the national health policy changes that the Ministry of Health of Peru considered necessary in 2002 to address the prevailing challenges and the particular implementation of such policies. Methods: The formulation of the desired national health policy changes were based on critical readings of the pertinent scientific literature, the collation of national health policy experience, and consultations with Ministry officers and recognized national experts. Results: The thrust of the national health policy changes, involving the crucial relationship between service providers and users resulting from such process was summarized by the dictum “Persons Caring for Persons” (In Spanish, “Personas que Atendemos Personas”). In order to extend the impact of this policy dictum, it was decided to inscribe it right under the Ministry’s name on the façade or frontispiece of the Ministry’s central building in Lima, the capital of Peru. Discussion: The focus of health care on persons was based on well considered Peruvian and international experience, particularly those maturing at the World Health Organization since the Alma Ata Declaration. The dictum “Persons Caring for Persons” has remained present in national health discussions as well as on the frontispiece of the Ministry’s central building across several changes in national political leadership over the past 13 years. Conclusions: The policy statement “Persons Caring for Persons”, reflects well considered national experience and wisdom, consistent with growing international aspirations. Its endurance over many years calls for renewed efforts to deepen such perspectives towards greater respect for human rights and the full humanization of health care and social life.

Masonry, the most commonly used building typology is the building of structures from individual units, which are often laid in and bound together by mortar. Masonry structures are the most vulnerable with external forces. Nepal is disaster prone zone and get frequently attack by various hazard such as earthquake, wind storms, flash-floods, fire, landslides, heavy rain fall, lightening and many more. So, in order to maintain resistive structures, seismic vulnerability of structure should be examined. Nepal Population and housing Census 2011, total 3350143 (2,397,441 –Mud bonded bricks/stone and 952,702- Cement Bonded bricks/ stone) houses out of 5423297 (61.77%) are found to be have masonry foundations. So, to link the context of Resistance structures in Nepal’s context first of all, the predominating stone masonry spread widely over Nepal must be checked for their seismic vulnerability. So, a typical residential stone masonry building is taken for this study. Seismic Vulnerability of the Building is examined in accordance with guidance provided by Government of Nepal- Ministry of Physical Planning and Works, 2011 in their guideline which describe the procedure for qualitative and quantitative assessment of structural earthquake vulnerability of public and private buildings in Nepal. Furthermore, Building is modelled and analyzed by using ETABS software. The outcome obtained from ETABS software are used to find the condition of building and to propose method for its strengthening.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose Valuation for compensation on land and buildings compulsorily acquired for public purposes is statutory. The Land Use Act (LUA) of 1978 now cited as Laws of the Federation of Nigeria, CAP l5 LFN 2007, stipulates the use of Depreciated Replacement Cost (DRC) Method in the valuation for compensation purposes for building and installation. The purpose of this paper is to criticize the application of the DRC technique in the valuation by acquiring authority as it does not arrive at fair market value and adequate compensation in Nigeria. Design/methodology/approach The method adopted for the study was a case study of real world valuation for compensation. Data used in the study were gathered mainly from government ministries and agencies responsible for land acquisition and compensation purposes. They included the Ministry of Lands and Housing, Land Use and Allocation Committee, and Ministry of Works and Transport. Market data on rental value, sales prices and other relevant data were collected from firms of professional that deal in real property. Findings The result of the study reveals that valuation by acquiring authority using DRC methods as prescribed by the LUA does not reflect market value and it is inadequate to put the claimants in the position they were before the acquisition. As such, most victims expressed dissatisfaction with the amount paid to them, which sometimes result to crisis, conflict and prolonged litigation, resulting in delay in executing or abandonment of the intended project. Research limitations/implications The study is limited to only one case study on acquisition and compensation for land and buildings with particular reference to Akwa Ibom State. This limitation does not invalidate the result as the law is applicable to the whole country. Practical implications The implication is that the LUA needs to be review to fair market value as basis of valuation and payment for site value as well as the constitution to add “adequate” to Section 44 (1a). This will reduce the incidence of many communities and land owners protest against the decision of government or its agents to acquire their land for public purposes. Originality/value The methodology meets the requirement of the law regarding compulsory land acquisition and compensation in Nigeria: The LUA of 1978. Using three scenarios: the valuation by acquiring authority, claimant’s valuers and independent valuers to illustrate the critique of the methodology, the result shows the inadequacy of compensation.

Full textAbstract:
In 2014, the Ministry of Public Works and Housing have published regulation that require the full implementation of Occupational Safety and Health Management System or short as OHSMS (known as SMK3 in Indonesia) in all phases of construction projects. The so called PerMenPUPR 5/2014 imposed an allocation of cost specific for OHSMS in the owner’s estimate, which was later updated as PerMenPUPR 2/2018 for minor adjustments in the regulation. This regulation was supported with guidelines for project managers on estimating the cost allocation for OHSMS. However, the initiative to address safety issues more comprehensively has been ineffective. The directive has not been seriously implemented by stakeholders on public projects. Thus, to help convince all stakeholders, more quantitative evidence on the costs for implementing OHSMS is pursued. This study is to determine the percentage of costs allocated by contractors for the procurement of OHSMS components. Data were collected from surveys to eight construction sites of high-rise building projects in Jakarta and Bandung. Based on interviews, questionnaires, and supporting documents from each case study, the cost of implementing the regulation was simulated and estimated. The cost allocation ranges from 2.01% to 3.70% of the contract value. The most significant components of the costs were related to OSH personnel (44.10%), insurance and licensing (35.2%), and OSH induction and promotion (5.82%).

With the popularization of Building Information Modeling (BIM) technology, increasing numbers of countries are attempting to introduce BIM into their national building permitting processes. There are also many BIM-related research initiatives worldwide. Likewise, the Korean government has joined this trend by improving its existing e-Submission system, SEUMTER, to provide for BIM-based e-submission and automated code compliance checking. Further, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, and Transport in Korea has funded the Korea BIM (KBIM) building e-Submission system project. The Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) data model is an openBIM approach that has been designated as an international standard through the International Organization for Standardization. It is not dependent on specific design tools and is suitable for public works applications. Hence, this study performed a comprehensive analysis of and developed a framework for a prototypical system for an e-Submission process based on the IFC data model. Four main modules were developed to perform code checking, submission, pre-checking, and automated rule-making. A real-world project was used to verify the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed framework. This study could increase the adoption of BIMbased building e-Submission systems by sharing effective and successful processes.

The January 2010 Haiti earthquake resulted in over 230,000 deaths, affected 3 million people, and damaged or collapsed over 200,000 structures. An unprecedented earthquake damage assessment project by a joint operation of the Haitian Ministry of Public Works, the United Nations Office of Project Services, the Pan American Development Foundation, and the authors was undertaken with three strategic goals: (1) rapid damage assessment, (2) reconstruction database development, and (3) upgrade the technical capabilities of Haitian engineers. A modified version of the Applied Technology Council's ATC-20 technical platform, accounting for Haitian building design, was developed. As part of this program, PDA-based data collection techniques and quality-assurance programs were implemented, and approximately 600 Haitian engineers were trained. As of March 2011, approximately 400,000 buildings had been inspected. This database was used to develop: (1) repair strategies for yellow-tagged structures, and (2) reparability, reconstruction, and demolition assessments or red-tagged structures. This program could also be extended as a platform for a seismic damage evaluation and reconstruction strategies in other parts of the world.

Full textAbstract:
Os conflitos ambientais surgem a partir das necessidades de desenvolvimento econômico e social e dos conseqüentes usos dos recursos naturais. À medida que esses recursos naturais foram se tornando escassos, os modelos de desenvolvimento existentes passaram a ser criticados, culminando em 1987 com a definição de desenvolvimento sustentável. Uma contribuição para a implementação do desenvolvimento sustentável é a resolução de conflitos ambientais por meio de abordagens alternativas, com a construção de consenso. O ordenamento jurídico brasileiro atribui ao ministério público características e instrumentos que permitem a utilização dessas abordagens na resolução dos conflitos ambientais. Por meio do inquérito civil, instrumento exclusivo da instituição e do termo de ajustamento de conduta, o promotor de justiça realiza a resolução de conflitos ambientais sem a intervenção do poder judiciário. Além dos instrumentos, uma característica do ministério público favorável à utilização dessas abordagens é a credibilidade social da instituição. O presente trabalho busca comprovar, com base na experiência da promotoria de justiça do meio ambiente da comarca de São Carlos SP, a efetividade da resolução de conflitos ambientais por meio da construção de consenso utilizando esses instrumentos. Para alcançar esse objetivo, realizou-se, no período de 2001 a 2004, levantamento de dados armazenados em registro eletrônico, nos inquéritos civís e termos de ajustamento de conduta, além do acompanhamento de audiências e participação em vistorias realizadas pelo promotor de justiça em exercício. Além disso, realizou-se entrevistas com representantes de instituições de gestão e fiscalização ambiental e de organizações não governamentais. Os resultados obtidos demonstram que a utilização do inquérito civil, em conjunto com o termo de ajustamento de conduta soluciona a maior parte dos conflitos ambientais evitando a intervenção do poder judiciário e a ação civil pública, obtendo a maior conscientização da sociedade civil e do próprio poder público, reduzindo o tempo e os custos das negociações, pois a maior parte dos conflitos é resolvida no prazo de um ano e meio, permitindo a reparação do dano em tempo viável, possibilitando ainda a antecipação aos danos ambientais. Porém, uma das maiores dificuldades detectadas é a falta de apoio técnico e de dados ambientais disponíveis, organizados e confiáveis para a tomada de decisões, o que resultou na recomendação do desenvolvimento de uma pesquisa complementar para preencher essa lacuna e melhorar o desempenho da atuação dos promotores de justiça na resolução de conflitos ambientais.The environmental conflicts arise from the need for economical and social development and from the consequent use of natural resources. When these natural resources were becoming scarce, the existing development models started to be criticized, culminating with the definition of sustainable development in 1987. A contribution for the implementation of sustainable development is the resolution of environmental conflicts by alternative approaches, with the consensus building. The brazilian juridical ordainment ascribe to the public ministry characteristics and tools that allow the use of these approaches in the environmental conflicts resolution. By means of civil inquest, exclusive tool for the institution, and the conduct adjustment term, the justice prosecutor attain the environmental conflicts resolution without the interference of the judiciary. Beside the tools, a characteristic of the public ministry that is favorable to the use of such approaches is the social credibility of the institution. This work tries to prove, based on the experience of the environmental prosecutor office from the city of Sao Carlos SP, the effectiveness of environmental conflicts resolution by means of the consensus building by using these tools. To reach this objective, a thorough research was carried out, from 2001 through 2004, in the data electronically recorded from the civil inquests and conduct adjustment terms. In this period, a number of hearings and inspections carried out by the assigned justice prosecutor were followed. In addition, many interviews with representatives from environmental management and surveillance institutions and non governmental organizations were done. The results show that the use of civil inquest together with the conduct adjustment term solve the greatest part of environmental conflicts. The successful use of such tools avoids the intervention of both the judiciary and the civil public action, resulting in a greater consciousness from both the civil society and government, reducing thereby time and costs associated with the negotiations, as the greatest part of the conflicts is solved in one year and a half, allowing the reparation of the harm in viable time, thus enabling the antecipation of environmental harms. One of the greatest difficulties, however, is the lack of both technical support and the availability of organized and reliable environmental data for the decision making process. These constraints resulted in the recommendations for the development of a complementary research to fill up such gap and to improve the performance of action of the justice prosecutors in the resolution of environmental conflicts.

Public construction projects are numerous in nowadays. Bridges, office buildings, tunnels, and roads are all included. As the scale of these projects keeps increasing, the interfaces involved have become more complicated. Besides, the nationals also demand higher construction quality, giving more pressure to the authorities in charge of the implementation. Projects supervised by Ministry of Defense (MOD) are public construction projects as well. The management of these projects focuses more on construction progress and budget implementation efficiency. Since the Government Procurement Act went into effect on May 27th of 1999, MOD has applied the 39th article of the Act, which regulates “the selection of professional construction management companies and calculation of service fees”, to select professional construction management companies, under the promotion of “streamlining plan” and “progressive plan” of the national army and the gradual decrease of construction human resources. Therefore, implementation performance evaluation should be further extended to cover the whole life cycle of construction so as to generate effective analysis results. This study used balanced scorecard as the research framework, and integrated four constructs, including user, project management, internal process, and learning and growth into the framework. Through a review of related literatures, regulations, contracts, and issues that have arisen in practice, expert interviews and weighted questionnaire survey were conducted to establish a construction performance evaluation system as the basis for project performance evaluation. In the case of dissatisfactory performance, this evaluation system could help institutions in charge understand the problems or obstacles in project implementation and therefore immediately improve project implementation performance or even the overall performance of the institutions. In this study, two major construction projects supervised by MOD were collected to explore the management performance on the projects already completed and the projects still under implementation to verify the feasibility of the proposed system. The results could serve as a reference for future evaluation of military construction projects to enhance the effectiveness of construction management of military projects.

In 2016 the ICJ gave five judgments and made two significant orders. All five judgments concerned various issues of jurisdiction, while the orders concerned respectively the appointment of experts and provisional measures of protection. Three new cases were begun in 2016. These related to the status and use of a river, the alleged immunity of a minister and the legal status of an embassy building, and the alleged violation of a treaty between Iran and the United States. The Court was also able to hold public hearings on the preliminary objections in one case with a view to giving judgment in 2017. The Court's record in 2016 underlines the importance of jurisdictional issues in its work and shows that states continue to value its assistance in resolving their disputes peacefully.

Full textAbstract:
Cardinal Richelieu, Louis XIII’s first minister and the architect of French absolutism, is often celebrated for his role in reviving the arts and letters in the crucial period in the formation of French classicism. This book looks less at him than at the writers and intellectuals themselves in the creation of a new culture distinguished by the rise of the French language over Latin and the emergence of a literary field. The author argues that even the French Academy, founded by Richelieu in 1635, was more the result of an already established literary and linguistic movement that he merely managed to co-opt. Dignified Retreat examines the work and activities of over one hundred writers and intellectuals, focusing especially on their place in the urban context of a revived Paris after several generations of religious warfare in the sixteenth century. The theme of “retreat”—a withdrawal from public engagement and certain modes of public expression—runs throughout the book as a leitmotif that captures the ambivalent position of these men (and a few women) of letters as they tried to establish the legitimacy of their calling outside the established institutions of the Church, the law, and the university. Building on the work of such French literary scholars and historians as Marc Fumaroli, Alain Viala, Hélène-Merlin Kajman, Christian Jouhaud, and others, Schneider offers a novel approach to this important period in French cultural history.

Abstract The education system of the province of Ontario, Canada ranks among the best in the world and has been touted as a model of excellence for other countries seeking to improve their education system. In a system-wide reform, leaders used a political and professional perspective to improve student performance on basic academic skills. The school system rose to renown after this reform which moved Ontario from a “good” system in 2000 to a “great” one between 2003 and 2010 (Mourshed M, Chijioke C, Barber M. How the world’s most improved school systems keep getting better, a report McKinsey & Company. Retrieved from https://www.mckinsey.com/industries/social-sector/our-insights/how-the-worlds-most-improved-school-systems-keep-getting-better, (2010)). Premier Dalton McGuinty arrived in office in 2003 with education as his priority and was dubbed the “Education Premier” because of this mandate. His plan for reform had two primary goals: to improve student literacy and numeracy, and to increase secondary school graduation rates. McGuinty also wanted to rebuild public trust that had been damaged under the previous administration. The essential element of Ontario’s approach to education reform was allowing educators to develop their own plans for improvement. Giving responsibility and freedom to educators was critical in improving professional norms and accountability among teachers (Mourshed M, Chijioke C, Barber M. How the world’s most improved school systems keep getting better, a report McKinsey & Company. Retrieved from https://www.mckinsey.com/industries/social-sector/our-insights/how-the-worlds-most-improved-school-systems-keep-getting-better, (2010)) and the sustained political leadership throughout the entire reform concluding in 2013 provided an extended trajectory for implementing and adjusting learning initiatives. The Ministry of Education’s Student Achievement Division, which was responsible for designing and implementing strategies for student success, took a flexible “learning as we go” attitude in which the reform strategy adapted and improved over time (Directions Evidence and Policy Research Group. The Ontario student achievement division student success strategy evidence of improvement study. Retrieved from http://www.edu.gov.on.ca/eng/research/EvidenceOfImprovementStudy.pdf, (2014)). This chapter will discuss influences on the reform design and key components of strategies to support student and teacher development and build a relationship of accountability and trust among teachers, the government and the public. The successes and shortcomings of this reform will be discussed in the context of their role in creating a foundation for the province’s next steps towards fostering twenty-first century competencies in classrooms.

AbstractAccording to the Basic Law, the Länder are in principle responsible for public administration, regardless of whether state or federal law is being enforced.The Basic Law has set a narrow framework for the federal administration. The obligations and options of the federal administration are defined in full. However, superior federal authorities responsible for the entire federal territory may be established by law passed with the consent of the Bundesrat for matters for which the Federation has the power to legislate. Intermediate and lower authorities may also be established if urgently needed. The chapter demonstrates this setting by the prominent example of the Federal Ministry of the Interior , Building and Community (BMI).

Given the current widespread popularity of social media, such as Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat, and many other applications, understanding users' attitudes and usage behavior of social media applications becomes a necessity in order to develop future placements of such technologies and increase the level of trust among the users. Therefore, the aim of this chapter is to shed light on the impact of trustworthiness of social media on the intention to use it. Data is gathered through a quantitative method, in which a questionnaire is used as a primary data. A convenient sampling is applied, in which the most easily accessible managers and employees in Ministry of Interior in Bahrain are chosen. The results demonstrate that there is a significant positive relationship between trustworthiness and intention to use social media. The study recommends future works to study the impact of security awareness on the usage of social media in public sector in Bahrain.

In 2009, the Tanzanian Ministry of Health, Community Development, Gender, Elderly and Children (MoHCDGEC) counted over 10 different health facility lists managed by donors, government ministries, agencies and implementing partners. These function-specific lists were not integrated or linked. The ministry's Health Sector Strategic Plan included the development of an authoritative source for all health facility information, called the Master Facility List (MFL). During development, the ministry adopted the term Health Facility Registry (HFR), an online tool providing public access to a database about all officially recognized health facilities (public and private). The MFL, which includes the health facility list at any specific point in time can be exported from the HFR. This chapter presents the Tanzanian case study describing the work and lessons learned in building the HFR—focusing on software development, introducing geographic positioning systems and harmonizing MFL data. MoHCDGEC launched the HFR public portal in September 2015.

The monograph provides a comparative analysis of the medical and demographic situation in Ukraine in recent years: population, birth and death rates, natural increase (decrease) in citizens, average life expectancy at birth, disability, morbidity. Also, an analysis of the Human Development Index in Ukraine and other countries according to the UN (2018) is carried out. From the investigation of the report of statistical data of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine on the structure of hospitalized patients in hospitals of Ukraine for 2019 adult population among all diseases: the first place has occupied by diseases of the circulatory system – 23.19% (including coronary heart disease – 10.93%, cerebrovascular diseases – 5.95%, angina – 4.02%), second place-diseases of the digestive system – 9.07%, third place belongs to tumors – 8.96%, fourth place respiratory diseases – 8.04%. At the same time, the state of mental health of the population of Ukraine is not insignificant, and according to the statistics of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine in 2019, cerebral and behavioral disorders amounted to 4.54% and diseases of the nervous system – 4.16%. The average length of stay of adult patients in psychiatric institutions is from 33.3 to 48.7 days in Ukraine compared to European countries in Lithuania up to 20.8 days, in the Republic of Poland up to 20.3 days. In Ukraine, the treatment of patients with mental disorders and behavior remained as in Soviet times, the Semashko health care model, the priority of inpatient treatment in the old premises that have been building in the XVIII-XIX centuries, and therefore there is a crisis in the field of mental health and mental health. The reform of mental health facilities in European countries has been completing in 2000, and they have moved to a multidisciplinary model for the treatment of the mentally ill. For people with changes in mental health, new Mental Health Centers have been building, and the old premises of psycho-neurological hospitals have been reconstructing for comfortable stay of patients, creation of "therapeutic, healing environment" for quick marriage, return of patients to society. A comparative description of the provision of medical workers in the field of health care in Ukraine with similar indicators of the EU countries is provided. The study aims to analyze the ways of reform in the EU and Ukraine, to show mistakes in the incomplete health care reform of Ukraine and examples of overcoming the crisis and improving the mental health of the population as in European countries. Ukraine should learn from the experience of other European countries by increasing funding for health care and prevention measures to reduce disease and improve the mental health of the population. One way to overcome the crisis is to have a strong link between the various Ministries of Social Policy, Health to provide timely health care to vulnerable populations and to stratify socio-demographic and lifelong mental health indicators as in the EU. It is possible to strengthen the mental health care system through highly institutionalized services to public/religious organizations that are more person/ patient-oriented.

Full textAbstract:
Today Bletchley Park is a thriving monument to Turing and his fellow codebreakers. This did not happen easily. After the Second World War, the Bletchley Park site went into gradual decline, with its many temporary wartime buildings left unmaintained. The intense secrecy still surrounding the codebreakers’ wartime work meant there was no public awareness of what they had achieved, nor even that they had existed. It was only when the information embargo finally began to lift, decades later, that Bletchley Park’s importance became more widely known—but by that time the site was in danger of being razed to the ground to make way for housing estates. This chapter tells how Bletchley Park was rescued from property developers and from financial failure to become a national monument. The true heroes of this story are too numerous to mention by name—the hundreds of committed hard-working people, many of them volunteers, whose collective efforts over time saved Bletchley Park. Bletchley Park, also known as Station X, is arguably the most important single site associated with the Second World War. One of the best kept of all wartime secrets, it was acquired by the Foreign Office not long before the start of the fighting and at that time comprised some 55 acres of land, together with a large and architecturally odd mansion (see Fig. 9.1) and various associated outbuildings of the type common in large estates of the period. The mansion was built in Victorian and Edwardian times and its grounds were laid out as formal gardens, with a lake and many specimen trees. Curiously, these trees subsequently played a role in saving the site. During the war there was an almost continuous programme of construction. Numerous typical Ministry-of-Defence-style brick buildings were erected, as well as an assortment of timber huts. The huts included Hut 8, where Turing worked on Naval Enigma (Fig. 19.1). His introduction of the bombe, in 1940, was the start of Bletchley Park’s conversion into a codebreaking factory (see Chapter 12) and by the end of the war there were more than seventy buildings on the site, including the original mansion and its outbuildings. These structures supplied the capacity to house more than 3000 people per shift, as well as the large quantities of machinery and other equipment involved in the codebreaking work.

Full textAbstract:
The concept of e-Government sub-assumes that of digital access to activities of public and private sector organisations. Explicitly, digital access includes improving government processes, connecting citizens, and building external interactions. Following the formation of the inclusive government as determined by the Global Political Agreement (GPA), Zimbabwe established the Ministry of Information Communication Technology whose mission is to promote the deployment and use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) to intensify national competitiveness and growth. Driving the digital access and e-Government agenda in Zimbabwe is a Modernisation Unit within the Office of the President and Cabinet and the Ministry of Information Communication Technology guided by “Zimconnect,” the e-Government framework, and other enabling instruments. Particular attention is paid to instruments that enable digital access and e-Government in Zimbabwe. The chapter attempts to contextualise digital access and e-Government, outlines e-Government policy objectives and constraints, explains the e-Government framework, including “Zimconnect” and others, and concludes with a section on strategies for enabling digital access and e-Government with a special focus on the possible role of library and information services.

Full textAbstract:
The paper discusses the process of providing walkable pedestrian facilities in cities in Indonesia which is considered lacking due to the limited number and poor quality. In the past few years, the government has been improving and developing the walkable pedestrian through policy and regulation, as well as physical development. This action is also linked to the green city program, in particular, sustainable transportation. However, the physical development and implementation of policy and green city program are not as smooth as expected due to the limitation of urban space, human resources, and finance. The study focuses on identifying problems and introduces arrangements that could improve the quality of pedestrian facilities. It applies interviews, questionnaires, and design competition to gather input from the public. Two cities in Indonesia are selected as the case studies, namely, Bogor and Banjarmasin. In each city, the study selects a location to elaborate for the design competition. The study analyses the walkability condition in each zone using nine parameters that emphasise on pedestrian conflict with other modes, availability of pedestrian path, availability of crossing, the safety of crossing, the behaviour of the motorcyclist, amenities, disable facility, buffer, and security. The finding points general problems such as poor amenities and lack of disabling facility, as well as the problem of motorcyclist behaviour. Besides problems, the study also identifies local potentials that could support the improvement of walkable pedestrian facilities. Those findings are important to improve the pedestrian facilities and develop an understanding of local condition since each city has different characteristics. The study applies those findings as an input to develop policy on the pedestrian facility of the green city for the Ministry of Public Works and Housing. The policy links to the green city program that addresses eight attributes, namely the green planning and design, open green space, green community, green waste, green energy, green transportation, green building, and green water. Further, the policy also emphasises five components of walkability, accessibility and connectivity, attractiveness, comfort and equality, safety, and security. Combination of green city attributes and walkability components are used for the planning-design and development of walkable pedestrian facilities in the urban area in Indonesia.

Full textAbstract:
From 1962 Lancashire, in England, became the focus of a major renewal scheme: the creation of a ‘super-city’ for 500,000 people. The last and largest New Town designated under the 1965 Act, Central Lancashire New Town (CLNT) differed from other New Towns. Although influenced by the ideals and example of Garden City model, its master plan followed new and proposed infrastructure to connect the sub-region’s poly-centricity. By unifying and expanding existing towns and settlements it aimed to generate prosperity on a sub-regional scale using the New Towns Act, rather than creating a single new self-sufficient urban development. CLNT’s scale, poly-centricity and theoretical growth made it unique compared to other new town typologies and, although not realised, its planning can be traced across Lancashire’s urban and rural landscape by communication networks and city-scale public and civic buildings. With reference to diagrams for the British New Towns of Hook, Milton Keynes and Civilia, this paper will contextualize and evaluate CLNT’s theoretical layout and its proposed expansion based on interdependent townships, districts and ‘localities’. The paper will conclude by comparing CLNT’s theoretical diagram with its proposed application and adaptation to the sub-region’s topographical physical setting.

Full textAbstract:
The events related to climate change are recently challenging the Slovenian urban planning. One of them are the floods in urbanised areas that call for a radically new approaches to how the urban built structure is organised and managed. The continental (and largest) part of Slovenia has a subalpine climate which has been traditionally characterised by a moderate precipitation throughout the year. This is now being changed as the larger amounts of water fall on the ground in a shorter period. As the current urban structure is not shaped in accordance with these new circumstances, parts of the cities are getting flooded more often. Some mitigation measures have been implemented, however to address the issue comprehensively new urban planning approaches are needed too. The paper will present one of the tools that has been developed within the endeavours of the national Ministry of Spatial Planning to reform the urban planning system to better reflect the changes posed by the climate change. It is related to the urban design criteria for building plots planning. To allow the rainfall to penetrate the soil as soon as the precipitation reaches the ground, new measures in organisation of the building plots will be provided. The current system defines the percentage of the built-up area within the plot but does not consider the permitted percentage of the paved open spaces (which do not allow the water to penetrate into the grounds), therefor it will be supplemented by the new measures based on the ability of the plots to allow the penetration of the water. The paper firstly presents the current system of building plots regulation within the Slovenian planning system. It then reports the results of the extensive analyses that focused on the existing characteristics of building plots for different building typologies across the country (housing, production, trade, public services) with the aim to map the state of the art in terms of the potential of the existing building plots to allow the water to flow into the grounds. The third part explains the methodological framework for the new approach to the building plots regulation. The last part presents the newly proposed approach and relates it to other urban design tools that need to support the implementation in practice. The concluding section relates the lessons learnt in Slovenian case to the similar situations elsewhere and stress the responsibilities that the urban planning and design have in providing future urban environments that will ensure the environmentally just living conditions for all.

Full textAbstract:
Clearance levels (CL) in Germany have been implemented in the Radiation Protection Ordinance (RPO / Strahlenschutzverordnung StrlSchV) of July 2001 which transforms the EURATOM Basic Safety Standards (BSS) into national legislation. Separate clearance options exist e.g. for metals, building rubble, liquids, buildings, wastes and sites. Meanwhile, the CL have found extensive application at a number of operating nuclear installations in Germany, in particular at those under decommissioning or those which will enter the decommissioning phase soon. The CL are based on extensive studies and have been approved by the competent bodies. Yet there has been and is an ongoing discussion in the interested public whether the basis for the CL is correct. In order to establish a scientific basis for this discussion, a Working Group on Clearance within the German Commission on Radiological Protection (SSK) has been established and studies have been launched by the German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety. Key issues comprise inter alia: • comparison of German and international CL (scope, values, method of their derivation, etc.); • review and update of German CL for clearance for disposal as a consequence of changes in the (conventional) waste law; • leaching behaviour of relevant radionuclides from cleared building rubble, especially for the long-term behaviour of radionuclides relevant in contaminated concrete of NPPs; • the possibility of multiple exposure for a single individual from various clearance options; • evaluation of the collective dose which may be caused by clearance in Germany and comparison with the reference value of 1 manSv/a.
