Full textAbstract:
This dissertation tests the proposition that the spatial structure of street networks affects the distribution of urban land use. Specifically, it examines patterns of commercial land use utilizing parcel based data on retail and service businesses location. While previous studies report a correlation between spatial structure and patterns of commercial land use, these studies do not typically control for the effect of key variables likely to contribute to the spatial distribution of retail and service establishments. In order to redress this balance, and using the City of Buenos Aires as a case study, this dissertation studies the correlation between commercial land use frontage and street connectivity measures, while controlling for street widths, density of population and employment, interstore externalities, zoning regulations, and distance to transit stations. Buenos Aires is chosen for its regular plan radiating from a well-defined CBD, a plan which would be expected to conform to standard urban attraction models of retail location. Results of multiple regression models indicate that, after controlling for these variables, measures of street connectivity account for key aspects of the distribution of retail, including linear distributions along major radial and peripheral streets at a distance from the CBD. Thus, the dissertation supports the thesis that "urban attraction" should not be conceptualized in terms of distances from a unique central location, or a number of central locations, but rather in terms of a model of distributed centrality governed by the structure of street networks.

Full textAbstract:
In this research, the “Smart City-edifice” of Lisbon has been examined through qualitative field work carried out in the city. The concept of the Smart City- edifice has been designed by the author in an attempt to grasp the ambiguous Smart City ambition as an assemblage of (i) specific techniques incorporated into the urban environment (ii) the modes of governance which these techniques allow for, particularly real time data collection & (iii) issues of city branding, placemaking and urban, Smart regeneration. The highlighted empirical material has been produced in collaboration with interlocutors from three different projects, and relate to the three different facets of the Smart Cityedifice: A developer of a gamification scheme (e-governance), a sustainable neighbourhood project (Tech-driven sustainability and governance/civic participation) and lastly a creative hub (branding, creativity & regeneration). These facets are being examined in the context of Lisbon, a city which has gone through a re-formulation of urban agendas in the capitalist restructuring of the economy in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis. The post-crisis strategy in Lisbon is interpreted as a sort of “attraction hysteria” (Anttiroiko, 2014), as much effort has been placed on attracting global capital and tourism, incentivised not least by a liberalized, profitable housing market. This attraction hysteria is understood by the author as producing specific implications for the development of the Smart Cityedifice. Main findings include the hinderances that said politics have produced for ambitions of civic participation and other democratic visions of the Smart City. These findings are understood in the light of the Lefebvrian framework of the “right to the city” and critical understandings of the touristified city. The field work itself has been guided by two key research questions, these being: a) How are Smart City narratives being operationalized locally by actors in Lisbon? B) What possible tensions could arise between Smart aims of global urban competitiveness and aims of civic participation, in the context of Lisbon?

Os Edifícios em Rede poder-se-ão categorizar em quatro géneros: os que por si só se definem como polos de atração; os que conectam polos de atração; os que criam polos de atração; e por fim, os falsos edifícios em rede, edificações que nos indicam um atravessamento, uma possível ligação entre espaços urbanos mas que na realidade não são mais que barreiras intransponíveis. Deste modo, investigação tem como principal objetivo a identificação e análise das diferentes características concetuais e das eventuais conexões estabelecidas pelos Edifícios em Rede no modo de promover a mobilidade e de conectar locais de convívio ou de uso quotidiano na cidade de Lisboa.
ABSTRACT: In the urban context portuguese more precisely in the last six decades, the search for innovative solutions to urban space organization solutions generated insertion, whose main characteristic is, on one hand promote permeability, and secondly in connecting different poles attractors in the city buildings through the network. The buildings in the power network will be categorized into four types: those alone define themselves as poles of attraction; connecting the centers of attraction; those who create poles of attraction, and finally, the false buildings networked buildings that indicate one crossing, a possible link between urban but in reality are nothing more than insurmountable barriers. Thus, research has as main objective the identification and analysis of different characteristics Conceptual and any established connections by building a network in order to promote mobility and connect meeting places or everyday use in the city of Lisbon.

Full textAbstract:
Inicialmente, é apresentado um debate sobre as Mediações Culturais e suas implicações nos processos de construção de sentido. Entendido enquanto universos simbólicos que orientam as interpretações e projeções práticas dos sujeitos sobre o mundo que o cerca, o conceito de Mediações Culturais e a reflexão acerca das características da experiência turística vêm a compor os princípios teóricos que permitem pensar: em que medida as representações sociais de atrativo turístico influenciam nos sentidos atribuídos ao local, tanto por aqueles que produzem os produtos turísticos quanto por aqueles que os consomem? Diante dessa problemática, o método da Análise de Discurso é utilizado para desvelar os pilares simbólicos sobre os quais se ergue o conceito de Atrativo Turístico. Nesse processo analítico, a concepção de atratividade do espaço urbano é revelada. Uma concepção que remete a sentidos fluídos, diante dos quais a palavra torna-se insuficiência representativa, solicitando uma narrativa interpretativa alicerçada em outras formas expressivas. Finalizando, assim, com o aporte da antropologia visual e a constituição de uma narrativa imagética sobre a atratividade de Buenos Aires.Submitted by Marcelo Teixeira (mvteixeira@ucs.br) on 2014-05-19T19:00:25Z No. of bitstreams: 1 Dissertacao Priscila Gayer.pdf: 10007126 bytes, checksum: ff08c7989d06c74a4044d8f6752dfbae (MD5)

The first subject introduced is concerned with the Cultural Mediation and its concrete implications in the structuring of meaning process. Throughout the theory s arrangements presented, the cultural mediations are understood as symbolic boundaries which shape people s conceptions and actions. In addition to this perspective, the discussion of tourist experience s characteristics is articulated to develop a theoretical ground in order to raise the main research problem. Thus, the investigation proposal set aims at elucidating the influence s dimension of the Social Representation of Tourist Attraction in the meanings produced by the tourist and by the ones who produce the tourist interpretation about the place to be lived in the tourism context. Regarding these issues, the symbolic background that feeds the conception of tourist attraction was brought to light. The Discourse Analysis was fundamental to achieve this result and, beyond it, the method used permitted another concept to be found out: the urban space attractivity. This last term express the fluid meanings existents in everyday life, the ones which words can not fully reach. Due to the word s insuffiency to symbolize this sort of significance, the image is applied as a proper resource to expose the attractivity of Buenos Aires and, for that matter, the Visual Anthropology is worthy.

Includes bibliographical references (leaves 128-133).
This thesis serves as a pedagogical guide to the hospitality industry, and presents a broad overview of the unique issues that arise through the development, ownership and management of select-service franchised hotels. It attempts to answer the following four questions: * How is the lodging industry organized? * How has the industry changed over time, and where is the industry headed? * What hotel product type is particularly attractive from a development, investment and operational standpoint? * What are the issues to be aware of when developing this particular product? To answer the first two questions, Section One of this paper offers a full discussion of the industry evolution and focuses on three major innovations that have been gaining momentum in the lodging industry. These innovations are the trends toward franchising, market segmentation, and the "life-style" brand. The study will describe how franchise and management relationships have gained strength in the lodging industry since their introduction in the mid-twentieth century. The study will then explore the intricacies of the on-going process of market segmentation. Through market segmentation, hotel firms have been able to create and introduce greater operationally efficient hotel typologies, one of which is the select-service hotel. Finally, this section of the thesis will explain how the third innovation--that of the "life-style" brand hotel--combined with the ideas of franchising and of operationally efficient product types, has borne into the hotel market a new and exciting product, the select-service franchised life-style hotel called Aloft. Section Two of the study will address the third and fourth questions by presenting a broad overview of the development process for a hotel of this type, as well as highlight the most pertinent issues and requirements that are associated with such a development.
(cont.) Additionally, this section will explore the relationships associated with owning and operating a franchised hotel, and the advantages and pitfalls of owning and building an asset under such an arrangement.

Full textAbstract:
Norra Sorgenfri är ett gammalt industriområde i östra Malmö som står inför en gedigen omvandlingsprocess för att bli en del av Malmös innerstad. Utvecklingen ska ske successivt under ett antal år och drivas av Malmö stad i samverkan med områdets privata fastighetsägare och verksamma aktörer, vilket gör processen väldigt komplex. Malmö stad har storslagna visioner för området och vill i ett tidigt skede utveckla Industrigatan, områdets “ryggrad”, till ett intressant och attraktivt stråk. Med detta vill Malmö stad föregå med gott exempel och inspirera till den vidare utvecklingen av hela Norra Sorgenfri. Utmaningen är att skapa ett attraktivt gaturum som inte blir en barriär och att dessutom lyckas genomföra omvandlingen tillsammans med aktörerna. Denna studie avser därför identifiera viktiga aspekter och kvaliteter som skapar attraktiva urbana gaturum. Vidare avser studien ge förslag på hur Gatukontoret i Malmö stad kan planera och skapa förutsättningar för att göra Industrigatan till ett sådant attraktivt urbant rum för att gynna den fortsatta utvecklingen av Norra Sorgenfri. Sedan genomfördes en hållbarhetsanalys av de olika styrdokumenten för Industrigatans omvandling. Resultaten visar att den fysiska utformningen av gatan är hållbar och har goda förutsättningar att bli ett attraktivt gaturum. Vad som dock kan utvecklas är samverkans- och deltagandemetoder samt vilka typer av arrangemang, attraktioner och aktiviteter som ska ge gatan ett rikt folkliv. Studien föreslår att Gatukontoret bör arbeta med metoder som “cultural planning”, “sensemaking” och “open-ended infrastructuring”. Som en del i detta arbete leder denna studie till en projektidé bestående av en serie workshops som avser behandla frågan “hur lockar vi folk till Industrigatan redan idag?”.Norra Sorgenfri is an old industrial area located in the eastern parts of Malmö that are the subject for an extensive transformation process to become a part of the city center. The development should be done gradually and be operated by the City of Malmö in cooperation with the private property owners and stakeholders in the area. The City of Malmö has grand visions for Norra Sorgenfri and plans to develop Industrigatan, the “backbone” in the area, in an early stage to be an interesting and attractive linear space. By doing this the City of Malmö wish to inspire the rest of the development process. The challenge is to create an attractive street space, not a barrier, and furthermore to successfully complete the transformation together with the stakeholders. This study aims to identify important aspects and qualities that make attractive urban street spaces. Further, this study aims to give suggestions about how the Traffic Department in the City of Malmö can plan and create the conditions to make Industrigatan an attractive urban space to promote the continuing development of Norra Sorgenfri. After that, a sustainability analysis was conducted of the policy documents concerning the transformation of Industrigatan. The result shows that the physical design of the street is sustainable and has good potential to become an attractive streetscape. However, what can be developed is the methods for cooperation and participation and what types of arrangements, attractions and activities that will contribute to a rich street life. The study therefore suggests that the Traffic Department should work with methods like cultural planning, sensemaking and open-ended infrastructuring. As a part of this work the study leads to a project concept consisting of a series of workshops that should address the issue “how do we attract people to Industrigatan today?”.

Full textAbstract:
Architecture forms an inherent part of urban tourism. Nevertheless, so far little research has been carried out regarding the interdependencies between urban tourism and architecture in general, as well as contemporary architecture in particular. Furthermore, there is a lack of literature regarding the reasons for contemporary architecture attracting tourism. Therefore, the present thesis is based on two principle research questions:
1. What is the role of contemporary architecture in urban tourism destinations?
2. Why is contemporary architecture attracting tourism?
Taking a twofold approach, the theoretical part of the thesis was based on a comprehensive literature review – including a wide variety of related disciplines – and dedicated to the first principle research question. Thus, by means of a contextual view, it was demonstrated that contemporary architecture can play a multitude of important roles in urban tourism, and contribute to the image of an urban destination. Devoted to the second principle research question, the empirical part of the thesis was built on exploratory case study research at the locations of Berlin and Beijing. First, by means of content analysis of travel guidebooks, for both case study locations a sample of contemporary architecture with significance for tourism has been identified. And secondly, for each of the samples’ units of analysis, a specific level of touristic significance, related to different roles (or types) of tourists, has been measured. Furthermore, specific features and characteristics, distinguishing the selected architectures, have been observed and allocated. Using univariate, bivariate and multivariate analysis techniques, during the ensuing data evaluation, those features and combinations of features with an influence on the touristic significance of contemporary architecture have been identified. As a result, around 50% of the analysed relations showed significant signs of dependency. Important modalities for the touristic significance of contemporary architecture turned out to be, for instance, having a touristic function, being accessible for visitors, being of large size and showing predominance towards the surrounding built environment. However, depending on the evaluated roles of tourists, the results differed.L’arquitectura forma una part inherent del turisme urbà. Malgrat aquest fet, fins ara han estat molt poques les recerques portades a terme que facin referència a la interdependència entre el turisme urbà i l’arquitectura en general; així com de l’arquitectura contemporània en particular. Cal constatar també la manca de literatura pel que fa a les raons per les quals l’arquitectura contemporània atrau al turisme. Tenint en compte tot el anteriorment mencionat, la següent tesis es basa en la recerca de dues preguntes principals: 1. Quin és el paper de l’arquitectura contemporània en les destinacions de turisme urbà? 2. Què és el què fa que l’arquitectura contemporània atragui al turisme? Tenint en compte aquesta doble aproximació, la part teòrica de la tesis fou basada en una exhaustiva ressenya (incloent una àmplia varietat de disciplines relacionades) i dedicada a la pregunta principal de la recerca. D’aquesta manera, partint d’una visió contextual, s’ha demostrat que l’arquitectura contemporània pot jugar múltiples i importants papers dins el turisme urbà, així com contribuir a la imatge d’una destinació turística urbana. Lleial al segon principi de la pregunta de la recerca, la part empírica de la tesis fou construïda en l’exploració d’un cas d’estudi de recerca en els emplaçaments de Berlín i Pekín. Primerament, i mitjançant l’anàlisi del contingut de guies de viatges, en l’estudi d’ambdues localitzacions s’ha identificat una mostra d’arquitectura contemporània amb significança pel turisme. En segon lloc, i per cadascuna de les mostres de les unitats d’anàlisi, s’ha mesurat un nivell de significança turística específic que es relaciona amb els diferents papers (tipus) de turisme. També s’han observat trets i característiques específiques que es poden distingir entre les diferents tipologies de turisme observades i establertes Emprant tècniques d’anàlisis d’una, dues i múltiples variables, al llarg de la avaluació resultant de la informació, s’han identificat aquells trets i combinacions de trets amb una influència en la importància del turisme en l’arquitectura contemporània. Com a resultat, al voltant del 50% de les relacions analitzades mostraren indicis de dependència significatius. Modalitats importants per a la significança turística de l’arquitectura contemporània foren per exemple tenir una funció turística, ser accessible als visitants, ser de grans mides i mostrar predominança respecte a l’entorn construït. Malgrat tot, i depenent de l’avaluació dels diferents models de turisme, els resultats difereixen.

Full textAbstract:
Levande Stockholm är ett koncept som Stockholms Stad initierade 2015. Syftet med det är att skapa levande och attraktiva stadsrum för medborgarna. Sökandet efter den attraktiva staden är en utveckling som blivit vanligare och viktigare för städer i och med den allt mer tilltagande globaliseringen. Konceptet Levande Stockholm baseras på temporär urbanism för att skapa attraktiva stadsrum under sommaren och har haft ett lyckat utfall. Det är från detta koncept studien tar ansats. Under vintern råder andra förhållanden som påverkar staden och människorna och samspelet mellan dem. Därför undersöker denna studie hur man kan skapa förutsättningar för attraktiva och levande stadsrum vintertid genom temporär urbanism. Forskningsfrågan har besvarats genom att i en fallstudie samla in data från tre olika grupper som vi valt att benämna planerare, externa aktörer samt medborgare. De planerare samt externa aktörer som intervjuats har valts på grund av deras erfarenheter av att jobba med Levande Stockholm eller med att skapa attraktiva stadsrum. Ett medborgarperspektiv har undersökts genom en enkät för att jämföra om deras tankar om attraktiva stadsrum vintertid överensstämmer med åsikterna hos planerare samt externa aktörer. Det teoretiska ramverket består av tre övergripande forskningsfält från olika discipliner; den levande staden, temporär urbanism samt samhällsplanering i ett kallt klimat. Detta skapar en tvärdisciplinär kontext som skapar ett djup och en bredd i studien. Studiens resultat visar att den temporära urbanismen har potential att skapa fler levande och intressanta stadsrum. Vidare visar empirin att de flesta aktörer, offentliga och privata, är överens om att stadens roll är att skapa förutsättningar för levande stadsrum, medan övriga aktörer bör stå för innehåll. Möjliga hinder för att utveckla levande stadsrum vintertid genom temporär urbanism är rigida regler angående snöröjning, upplåtelsetaxa samt tidsperioden för uteservering. Genom att underlätta för aktörer att temporärt utveckla och utnyttja gatu- och stadsrum under vintern kan levande och attraktiva stadsrum skapas.Levande Stockholm is a concept that Stockholm City initiated in 2015. The purpose of the concept is to create vibrant and attractive urban spaces for the citizens. Developing the attractive city is a process that has become more common and important for cities, due to the ever- increasing globalization. The Levande Stockholm concept is based on temporary urbanism to create attractive city spaces in the summer and has had a successful outcome. This study springs from this concept. During winter, there are different conditions that affect the city, its inhabitants and the interaction between the two. Therefore, this study investigates how to create conditions for attractive and vibrant urban spaces during winter through temporary urbanism. The research question is answered through a case study by collecting data from three different groups whom we chose to label as planners, external actors and citizens. The planners and external actors who were interviewed were chosen due to their experience of working with Levande Stockholm prior. A citizen's perspective has been examined through a survey to compare if their thoughts about attractive urban spaces in winter time are consistent with the views of planners and external actors. The theoretical framework consists of three comprehensive research fields from different disciplines; the vibrant city, temporary urbanism and urban planning in a cold climate. This creates a cross-disciplinary context that allows a depth and breadth in the study. The results show that temporary urbanism has the potential to create more vibrant and interesting urban spaces. Furthermore, our empirics show that most actors, public and private, agree that the municipality’s role is to enable the creation of vibrant spaces, while other actors should be the creators of the content within the urban space. Possible obstacles to developing vibrant city spaces during wintertime through temporary urbanism are rigid rules regarding snow clearance, concession fees and the fixed periods for outdoor seating. Vibrant and attractive urban spaces can be created by enabling actors to temporarily develop and utilize streets and urban spaces during winter.

Full textAbstract:
Bus rapid transit (BRT) is an innovative bus system with sophisticated vehicles and inflexible busways integrated in the cities, high capacity and high quality, high speed and frequency, distinctive image and comfort. Many in Sweden believe that is impossible to introduce BRT, even though the Swedish towns and cities can benefit from the image, speed and frequency that BRT symbolizes. The archipelago-like urbanization, urban sprawl and the uncompetitive journey times of public transportation compared with the private car are identified as main obstacles. New questions emerged: Is it possible to transform and adjust the Swedish towns and cities for BRT? What demands BRT? How is transit-oriented development (TOD) applicable in a Swedish context as a policy to integrate cities and BRT? In this licentiate thesis I investigate the interrelationship between bus transportation and neighborhoods, between BRT and urban form as well as the possibilities to introduce busways and BRT, to trigger TOD and to transform the Swedish towns and cities for BRT. Much has been written about BRT, but seldom by architects or urban planners and designers. BRT and TOD are seen though urban form and processes of urbanization within a morphological tradition established by Kevin Lynch. BRT is represented by paths and nodes that disperse distinctive attractiveness pattern of desirability cores that shape neighborhoods as districts. TOD is about synchronizing the everyday urban life with public transportation systems. BRT-TOD is defined as a policy to recognize desirability cores spread by the different infrastructures of BRT and promote development of urban form within their attractiveness pattern at urban and regional scale. BRT-TOD is discussed as a concept of BRT metropolis in context of the urbanization of Swedish towns and cities. TOD is defined morphologically as public transport cities. A public transport city is a city that in its development adapted to specific public transportation systems. TOD is nothing new in Europe or Sweden. To find regularities of the effect of public transportation systems on cities I do a historical overview of the Swedish towns and cities. In the end the position of bus and BRT, public transport cities and TOD and possibilities of future urban transformation of the smaller and larger Swedish cities towards BRT metropolises are discussed in context of today’s “‘system’ of automobility” and widespread car society and the emerging knowledge society and its postmodern fringes of urbanization.QC 20130917

Full textAbstract:
This study seeks to examine whether a relation can be found between the number of shoreline exemptions and the development of Umeå municipalities population, or not. The weight of this paper will be focusing on the importance of place attractiveness and social place identity for people’s desires and ambitions to live near a lake or the coast. The policies of planning will also be highlighted in order to receive greater understanding of why people apply for shoreline exemptions. Four semi- structured interviews with planners from Umeå municipality were therefor held with the ambition to complement the quantitative findings of the development of exemptions. The presenting results indicates that an increase of shoreline exemptions can be stated as well as the actions within the exemptions. The population has steadily increased trough out the studied years, 2014-2017. The relation between these findings can be argued have had a similar development, but we cannot be sure to say that they solely affect each other. Therefor the findings will be explained by earlier research regarding residential preferences, the desire to live with water view and planning policies that responds to these factors.

Full textAbstract:
Contemporary cities face many challenges, none the least from an urban planning perspective. Global climate change and urbanization is putting pressures on planning for combatting and adapting to, e.g., a warmer climate and an increased need for housing in already dense environments. The aim of this thesis is to contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of residents’ opinions and preferences regarding various aspects of city livability and sustainability. Two of the papers discuss energy-efficient housing and two the identity/soul of the city and its neighborhoods. The papers are empirically oriented and rest on relatively large quantitative materials of Swedish data. The database used in the first two articles contains around 77,000 observations of single-family homes. The residential survey used in the two final papers was sent to a random sample of 6,600 residents in four cities, resulting in 2,573 respondents. Regression is the primary analytical method and the results indicate a preference for sustainable housing, in terms of a price premium on heat pumps (attributes that both reduce the energy consumption and are easily observed in the house). It is further suggested that the perception of a strong city/neighborhood soul is linked to positive relations to the city and to positive perceptions of its physical characteristics. In particular, feelings of attachment, belonging, and pride as well as perceptions of aesthetics, arts, and symbols, seem to be linked to a strong city/neighborhood soul. The presented research contributes to related literature through providing insight to Swedish residents’ preferences and opinions concerning energy-efficient housing and the city/neighborhood soul. It is shown that a citizen perspective based on carefully designed databases and appropriate analytical tools can be used by planners to gain new insights supporting urban livability and sustainability efforts.QC 20171004

Full textAbstract:
Older Australians walk for many reasons: health, recreation and transport. However, road safety statistics show that pedestrians over 65 represent one-third of Australia's pedestrian deaths. As Australia's population ages in place and older people take up a walking regime for health and transportation reasons, they need a supportive suburban setting. Urban design theories discuss such "pedestrian-friendly" concepts as sense of place, sense of community, responsive environments, traditional neighbourhood design, transit-oriented development, and crime prevention through environmental design. To investigate these concepts in relation to older pedestrians, this study brings together two areas of literature - research into older pedestrians in relation to urban design theories. Qualitative research methods were used in two case studies, to reveal how older people's interpretation of their local walking environment relates to urban design theories concerning walkable suburbs. The two Brisbane suburbs of Bulimba and Forest Lake were chosen for study, as they have different histories, topographies, street patterns, and other variations. Analysis of key themes gathered from two focus group discussions, one from each suburb, revealed the significance for participants of social interaction when walking for health. A photographic exercise performed by the Forest Lake focus group provided pictorial information for analysis, and revealed participants' interest in the lake's fauna and flora, and in its ongoing maintenance. The study was limited by an unforeseen failure to obtain the cooperation of the Bulimba group in the photographic exercise. In support of the claims made in the literature review, it seems that when older pedestrians walk through suburban streets, they avoid steep hills, busy roads, and intersections where possible, and require footpaths with even surfaces and shelters. When walking for health reasons, participants in this study did not favour local streets, but preferred "natural" places designed exclusively for walkers. Forest Lake participants stated a preference for driving to places they deemed suitable for walking, which suggests a need for more detailed design attention to the urban design qualities of local streets, so that those older people without cars are not disadvantaged.

This work aims to present trip attraction models and rates to public hospitals located in mediumsized cities in the interior of the state of São Paulo Brazil. The hospitals cause significant impacts in the local traffic and because of that they can be characterized as Potential Trip Generation Centers. In this sense, this research presents rates and models that allow us to analyze the possible impacts related to trips attracted by new hospitals. In the development of the proposed models and rates, it was performed a research in seven Santas Casas de Misericórdia hospitals in seven medium-sized cities: São Carlos, Marília, Sertãozinho, Rio Claro, Jaú, Mogi- Guaçú and Araras. The data of the first five cases were used in the development of the trip attraction models and rates, while the last two ones were used to validate the developed models. In these hospitals were performed traffic counting of pedestrians, private vehicles, buses, motorcycles and bicycles, and also interviews with the users. Through the developed analysis were elaborated models of simple regression, multiple regressions, simple regression by trip objective and mode of transport and multiple regressions with dummy variables. Some of the models developed were validated by data collected and thus they were considered more reliable to be used in Brazilian hospitals than models of the Institute of Transportation Engineers-ITE. To complement this study, it was performed a doctoral internship in Madrid, Spain in 2011 where specific models were developed with data from four public hospitals of that city. Through the application of the elaborate models and the models of ITE, it was found that the models developed for Madrid are also more suitable to estimate the travels to Spanish hospitals than the models of the ITE. Thus, this study found that for Brazilian cities, where the second mode of transportation is the bus, and for the Spanish city where the second mode of transportation is the subway, the ITE models, that consider only travels by car, may not be sufficient to estimate the travels.
Este trabalho visa apresentar modelos e taxas de atração de viagens para hospitais localizados em cidades de porte médio do interior do estado de São Paulo - Brasil. Os hospitais causam impactos significativos no tráfego local, por isso, se caracterizam como potenciais Polos Geradores de Viagens PGVs. Nesse sentido, esta pesquisa apresenta taxas e modelos que permitem analisar os possíveis impactos em relação às viagens atraídas por novos empreendimentos hospitalares. Para o desenvolvimento das taxas e dos modelos foram realizados levantamentos de dados em sete hospitais com o padrão das Santas Casas de Misericórdia de sete cidades de porte médio: São Carlos, Marília, Sertãozinho, Rio Claro, Jaú, Mogi-Guaçú e Araras. Os dados dos cinco primeiros hospitais foram utilizados na elaboração das taxas e dos modelos de atração de viagens, enquanto que, os dois últimos, foram utilizados no processo de validação dos modelos desenvolvidos. Nesses hospitais realizaram-se contagens volumétricas de pedestres, de automóveis, de ônibus, motos, bicicletas, além de entrevistas junto aos usuários. Por meio das análises desenvolvidas elaboraram-se modelos de regressão simples, de regressão múltipla, de regressão simples por objetivos de viagens e por modos de transportes e de regressão múltipla com variáveis dummy. Alguns dos modelos elaborados foram validados pelos dados de campo e, portanto, eles foram considerados mais confiáveis para serem aplicados em hospitais brasileiros do que os modelos norte-americanos (Institute of Transportation Engineers-ITE). Para complementar esta pesquisa foi realizado um estágio de doutorado em Madrid-Espanha no ano de 2011 em que foram elaborados modelos específicos com dados de quatro hospitais públicos daquela cidade. Por meio da aplicação dos modelos elaborados e dos modelos ITE, verificou-se que os modelos elaborados para Madri também foram mais indicados para estimar viagens dos hospitais espanhóis do que os modelos do ITE. Deste modo, nesta pesquisa constatou-se que tanto para as cidades brasileiras, em que o segundo modo de transporte é o ônibus, quanto para a cidade espanhola, onde o segundo modo de transporte é o metrô, os modelos do ITE que, consideram somente as viagens por automóveis, podem não ser suficientes para estimar suas viagens.

Full textAbstract:
I Sverige finns en enighet om att kollektivtrafiken måste utvecklas om målsättningar för klimat och attraktiva städer ska kunna nås. Trafiksystemets utformning har i sin helhet stor betydelse för en långsiktigt hållbar utveckling. Resecentrumen håller på att få en allt viktigare roll i stora som små städer. I Gällivare pågår den så kallade Samhällsomvandlingen som en konsekvens av LKAB:s gruvdrift i Malmberget och det finns önskemål från Gällivare kommun om att utveckla Gällivares resecentrum som en del i att göra staden mer attraktiv för invånare och besökare. Syftet med studiens första del var att undersöka vilka funktioner och designfaktorer som är viktigast för att ett resecentrum ska upplevas som användbart och attraktivt av resenärer och andra som rör sig kring resecentrumet, samt undersöka hur dessa funktioner och designfaktorer skulle kunna anpassas till ett subarktiskt klimat. Många lösningar för utformning av urbana miljöer är främst anpassade för varmare och mindre varierat klimat än det subarktiska. Studiens andra del var att ta fram ett konceptförslag för resecentrumet i Gällivare, där subarktiska klimatförhållanden råder. Konceptförslaget bygger på resultatet av arbetets första del och på analyser som utförts i Gällivare. Arbetet började med en litteraturstudie som resulterade i två analysmallar, en för analys av generella funktioner och design i resecentrum och en för analys av hur klimatfaktorer påverkar utformningen. Därefter utfördes referensstudier som analyserades med hjälp av den första mallen. Gällivare resecentrum utvärderades med båda analysmallarna och en platsanalys utfördes på Gällivare. En syntes togs fram och användes tillsammans med platsanalysen för att ta fram konceptförslaget. Syntesen visade att viktiga faktorer kunde kategoriseras inom områdena ljus, rumslighet, attraktivitet, struktur, prioritering, nod i staden och trygghet. Ljuset fick stor betydelse i konceptförslaget, både för att platsen ska upplevas som trygg och tydlig men också för dess estetiska kvaliteter. Under årets mörka period är belysningen det mest framträdande i utemiljöerna, särskilt när snö täcker marken, belysningen kan då användas för att göra utemiljöerna mer attraktiva. En förbättrad rumslighet i utemiljöerna kan skapa bättre mikroklimat och på så vis skapa mer attraktiva utemiljöer även under delar av året med mer krävande klimatförhållanden. Resecentrumets olika delar bör förhålla sig till varandra på ett tydligt och logiskt sätt och plats lämnas för förvaring av snö. Det ska finnas gott om ytor för gående och cyklister och det ska vara lätt att röra sig inom resecentrumet. För att säkerställa framkomlighet även under vintersäsongen kan markvärme användas på de viktigaste stråken. De klimatförhållanden som är vanliga i subarktiska miljöer, exempelvis snön, kan lyftas fram på ett sätt som gör att de bidrar till platsens identitet och attrraktivitet.There is a consensus in Sweden that public transport must be developed if goals for climate and attractive cities are to be achieved. The overall design of the traffic system is of great importance for long-term sustainable development. Travel centers are gaining an increasingly important role in large as well as small cities. Gällivare is undergoing the so-called Urban Transformation as a consequence of LKAB’s mining operations in Malmberget and there is a request from Gällivare municipality to develop Gällivare travel center as a part of making the city more attractive to residents and visitors. The purpose of the first part of the study was to investigate which functions and design factors are most important for a travel center to be perceived as useful and attractive by travelers and others passing through the center, and to investigate ow these functions and design factors could be adapted to a subarctic climate. Many solutions for the design of urban environments are mainly adapted to warmer and less varied climates than the subarctic. The second part of the study was to develop a concept for the travel center in Gällivare, where subarctic climatic conditions prevail. The concept is based on the results of the first part of the study and on analyzes performed in Gällivare. The study began with an extensive literature study that resulted in two templates for analysis, one for analysis of general functions and design in the travel enter and one for analysis of how climate factors affect the design. Subsequently, reference studies were performed, analyzed with the first template. Gällivare travel center was evaluated with both templates and a site analysis was performed at Gällivare. A synthesis was developed and used together with the site analysis to produce the concept. The synthesis showed that important factors could be categorized in the areas of light, spaciousness, structure, prioritization, city node and safety. During the dark part of the year, the lighting is the most prominent in the outdoor environments, especially when snow covers the ground. The lighting can then be used to make the outdoor environments more attractive. An improved spatiality in outdoor environments might create a better microclimate and thus create more attractive outdoor environments even during parts of the year with more demanding climatic conditions. The different parts of the travel center should relate to each other in a clear and logical way and space should be left for snow storage. There should be plenty of space for cyclists and it should be easy to move within the travel center. To ensure availability even during the winter season, ground heating can used on the most important lanes. The climatic conditions that are common in subarctic environments, such as the snow, can be highlighted in a way that makes them contribute to the identity and attractiveness of the place.

Full textAbstract:
The urban study deals with the design of the new city district in the area where the Tepna Náchod textile factory used to stand. The total area of the solved area (including the existing development) is 10.35 ha. My intention was to create a new neighborhood that will take advantage of the huge benefits of this area. These are the terrain configuration and the immediate proximity of the historic city center and the train and bus stations. Because the area is flat and it is one of the few in the city that is not on the slope, I decided to place a compact block of flats and make the most of the area. The aim was to design a new city district, basically a modern city center, but it will not compete with the historic one, but rather will support it. The newly designed public spaces are not critical in their size, but in their content and diversity. The main idea of the proposal was to use the proximity of the railway station, the historic center and the terrain and create a barrier-free city district for the inhabitants, which will connect the surrounding city districts and at the same time offer enough housing, places for business and also a leisure time environment. And everything is within walking distance of the station and the center.

This paper studies the profitability of office buildings, associating urban and environmental attractions in the context of the Barcelona Metropolitan Area. Usually two forms of analysis are developed, in the first each zone corresponds to a district of Barcelona and also the main populations of the Municipalities of Hospitalet de Llobregat, El Prat de Llobregat, Cornella de Llobregat, Esplugues de Llobregat, Sant Cugat del Valles and Badalona; In the second, the analysis is performed by areas of value, similar to the Real Estate Operators, being these areas, the central business area, city center, new business areas and periphery.
The office market is characterized and analyzed. In addition, five methods are used to calculate the capitalization rate, as an approximation to the rate of return of each zone, among which are the econometric models, which also require the use of the direct capitalization method of real estate valuation. The real estate risk premium is also calculated in each zone, based on the estimation of the real estate yield of offices; based on the Appraisal Institute (2008), which states that real estate profitability rate is equal to the risk-free rate plus the real estate risk premium. The urban and environmental attractions for offices can be explained by factors of accessibility, urban and environmental externalities, social hierarchy and agglomeration. As these urban quality factors are better, their real estate profitability rate declines, or, as urban quality factors become worse, their real estate profitability rate increases; is the hypothesis that arises in this work and that is proven. In order to estimate the urban and environmental factors in the Barcelona Metropolitan Area that affect the profitability of its offices, interviews have been conducted with experts. Hence, factors classified as "very important" are: access to main avenues, access to metro station, access to large transport infrastructures, built-up stock quality, economic-business compactness and intensity of use of the built stock. It is expected that the present work will be especially useful to Professional Appraisers, since they would be in a position to make better decisions in their real estate valuations.Este trabajo estudia la rentabilidad de los inmuebles de oficinas, asociando atractivos urbanos y ambientales, en el contexto del Área Metropolitana de Barcelona. Por lo general se desarrollan dos formas de análisis, en la primera cada zona se corresponde con un distrito de Barcelona y además las principales poblaciones de los Municipios de Hospitalet de Llobregat, El Prat de Llobregat, Cornella de Llobregat, Esplugues de Llobregat, Sant Cugat del Vallés y Badalona; en la segunda, se realiza el análisis mediante zonas de valor, similarmente a como las presentan los Operadores Inmobiliarios, siendo dichas zonas, el área central de negocios, centro de ciudad, nuevas áreas de negocios y periferia. Se caracteriza y analiza el mercado de oficinas, además se desarrollan cinco métodos para calcular la tasa de capitalización, como una aproximación a la tasa de rentabilidad de cada zona, entre ellos se encuentran los modelos econométricos, que también requieren de hacer uso del método de capitalización directa de la valoración inmobiliaria. También se calcula la prima de riesgo inmobiliario en cada zona, a partir de la estimación de la rentabilidad inmobiliaria de oficinas; en base al Appraisal Institute (2008), que establece que la tasa de rentabilidad es igual a la tasa libre de riesgo más la prima de riesgo inmobiliario. Los atractivos urbanos y ambientales para las oficinas pueden ser explicados mediante factores de accesibilidad, de externalidades urbanas y ambientales, de jerarquía social y de aglomeración. A medida que dichos factores de calidad urbana son mejores, su tasa de rentabilidad inmobiliaria disminuye, o bien, a medida que los factores de calidad urbana son peores, su tasa de rentabilidad inmobiliaria aumenta; es la hipótesis que se plantea en éste trabajo y que es comprobada. Para estimar los factores urbanos y ambientales en el Área Metropolitana de Barcelona que inciden en la rentabilidad de sus oficinas, se han realizado entrevistas a expertos. De donde, factores calificados de "muy importantes" son: acceso a avenidas principales, acceso a estación del metro, acceso a grandes infraestructuras de transporte, calidad del stock edificado, compacidad económico-empresarial e intensidad de utilización del stock edificado. Se espera que el presente trabajo sea especialmente útil a los Valuadores Profesionales, ya que estarían en condiciones para una mejor toma de decisiones en sus valoraciones inmobiliarias.

The Love River has been playing an important role in the development of Kaohsiung City. Love River became a magnet for tourists recently and known as part of Kaohsiung’s attraction as a sightseeing destination. This study conducted a survey on the development status and tourism resources of the Love River, and performed a literature review concerning the history of Love River, waterfront development process, urban tourism development, and evaluation of tourist attractive. Focus group interviews were conducted to understand different kind of voices of riverbank sightseeing experience. Love River tourist attraction questionnaire made by Kano model was conducted to investigate the key factors and elements required for the creation of riverbank sightseeing attractions. In conclusion, the tourist attraction elements were summarized. “Must-do Element” includes: organize festival, build leisure places, and developing waterways. They have the opportunity to establish unique tourist attractions different from other riverbank tourism. “Basic Element” includes: greening landscapes, ample parking, land transport systems, multiple transportation methods, clean/safe/well-maintained, service facilities, and greenery. They are the basic factors of Love River tourism. “Considerable Element” includes: night market, natural resources, good listening experience, continuous paths, good lighting atmosphere, night shows, regional specialties, history and culture, river cruises, and arts activities. They can be developed depend on tourism budget sequentially. “Suspended Element” includes: rental boats, souvenir shops, hotels and hostels, and restaurants. They must avoid to be developed, in order to prevent the wastage.

Abstract Taichung City, located in the central part of Taiwan, is the metropolis of the most importance in this region. With the growth of population and the urbanization and industrialization of the city, it has become the core developmental area of economy, administration, education, and entertainment in central Taiwan. The key to developing the tourism of Taichung City consists of utilizing the existing resources, including developed industries, established businesses, local culture and arts, to motivate urban tourism and, furthermore, finding out what makes a certain attraction appealing to tourists. This research investigates if different recreation and entertainment attract different tourists, if different marketing media and communications attract different tourists and what types of marketing media and communications should be used to provide the public with tourism information through. Concurrently, there is, in this research, a thorough exploration of the four evaluation factors i.e. the socio-economical background of the targeted tourists, including those from other areas and the local residents, the types of tourism resources, the attraction of the tourism resources, and the marketing media of different tourist attractions. With the investigation and analysis, the results of this research are as follows: * A poll shows that the most appealing factor for people to visit a certain attraction is the atmosphere of relaxation. * Attractions noted for their atmosphere of relaxation are mainly known to the public through billboard, newspaper, magazine, television, Internet, and by word of mouth. * Attractions famous for cultural or educational activities and events are mainly known through newspaper, broadcast, and loudspeaker vans. * Attractions with living convenience are mainly known through billboard, flyers, broadcast, loudspeaker vans, and by word of mouth. * Attractions with popularity and low cost are mainly known through newspaper, magazine, television, Internet, and by word of mouth. * Information of attractions providing playgrounds or spaces for games, however, is less accessible to the public through television. This paper focuses on the interaction between different types of attractions and different use of marketing media with the hope of providing the authorities concerned with reference to media marketing and strategy-making.

Full textAbstract:
Each spectacularly publicized terrorist event strengthens our fascination with death and destruction. Barricaded behind architectures of control, our anxieties and fears escalate. Rather than diminishing our dread, we watch with morbid pleasure as distant events unfold right before us.
The terrorist eagerly performs for an attentive audience.
For the tourist no longer satisfied with the mediated experience of terrorism, this thesis offers an alternative architectural response. It is the year 2010 and terrorism has popularized the city of Karachi in the international imaginary. Seized amidst the battle between progress and regression---barricaded and torn apart by terror---Karachi becomes the site for a new architectural typology of concentrated targets of terrorism.
Understanding the relationship between the tourist and the terrorist as one of supply and demand, Fatal Attractions aims to balance the oscillating equilibrium that ultimately absorbs the fatality of terrorism, replacing the traditional relationship of oppression with one of liberation.

The purpose of this research is to explore the attraction of the combinative restaurants to consumers from the viewpoints of consumers. Combinative restaurants in urban area of Taichung are selected as the objects of questionnaire analysis. The combinative restaurant is a new style in the restaurant sector. The owners particularly emphasize on unique style of their overall designs (including appearance, settings, decoration, music, uniform, foods, auxiliary facilities, recreation activities, and service). Further study is made to explore whether these conditions they provide can attract the desires of consumers and attract the consuming behaviors. General consumers who have consumed at and experienced the combinative restaurants in urban area of Taiwan are adopted in this study as the objects of the investigation. Materials required for this study are collected and statistically analyzed by SPSS software package. Based on the purpose of this study, the variable scale suitability statistical analysis method is selected and descriptive frequency statistical analysis, factor analysis, single factor variance analysis, credibility analysis, and regression analysis are used to process data analysis. The analysis results find that among consumers of combinative restaurants, unmarried females with ages from 20 ~ 29 have the highest percentage, with a majority of college level in term of education, and a majority of students and office people in term of occupation. These results indicate the major consumers of the combinative restaurants are modern college students and general office people. This study shows that among four features of attraction of the combinative restaurants – products, environment, service and gathering, the attraction of environmental feature is the strongest. For the post-experience feelings, there are consents to the enjoyable and beautiful feelings of the experience of environmental feature and the willingness of recommendation and advertise to relative and friends. For the overall satisfaction after consumption, the degree of overall satisfaction to the environmental feature is the highest. These indicate the important degree of environmental feature of the combinative restaurants. In addition, the regression analysis results show that the environmental feature has the most affection on post-consumption experience, and the gathering feature has the most affection on post-consumption satisfaction. These results indicate the attraction is significantly correlative with feature.

Liard-Muriente, Carlos F. "The effectiveness of tax incentives in attracting investment: The case of Puerto Rico." 2003. https://scholarworks.umass.edu/dissertations/AAI3110520.
Full textAbstract:
The contribution of this dissertation is the empirical understanding of the effectiveness of Puerto Rico's investment incentive program. In 1978 the local government enacted a tax incentive law, in an effort to decentralize the location of firms. The goal is to encourage firms to locate in rural/less developed areas outside the San Juan/Metro area. The government divided the island into three industrial zones. In the high industrial zone of the San Juan area, tax exemptions are available for only 10 years, in the intermediate industrial zone for 15 years, and in the low industrial zone tax exemptions are available for 20 years. The focus of the dissertation is to measure the impact of this program in four areas: (1) location of firms; (2) job expansion; (3) forgone revenues, and (4) a comparison of forgone revenues and job expansion benefits. Traditionally, Conditional Logit (CL) has been the methodology used for firm location analysis. However, CL confronts several limitations, and for that reason, I perform a Poisson Regression analysis. This methodology will give the same results as the CL model and, in certain cases related to location decisions, is a better approach since it handles more properly the limitations inherent in the CL methodology. Using Poisson Regression I find that firms tend to locate in a statistically significant fashion at both the intermediate and low zones. I analyze job expansion through Shift-Share (SS) analysis. One feature of SS analysis is its descriptive power when explaining the change in regional employment over time. Based on the Shift-Share analysis, I find that job expansion at both the intermediate and low zones is significantly higher than what would have occurred if these zone would have grown at the same rate of the high industrial zone. Finally, the program has a statistically significant negative impact on government revenues. In general, revenues naturally decline because firms are exempted from paying taxes through the program. This impact is greater within firms locating at both the intermediate and low zones. Nonetheless, forgone revenues are more than compensated, by salaries and wages earned in jobs created by firms.

Dissertação de mestrado integrado em Engenharia CivilAtualmente a aplicação de modelos de simulação de tráfego no estudo de redes urbanas constitui uma importante ferramenta de apoio para o teste e análise de problemas de transporte, essencialmente por duas razões. A primeira deve-se à dificuldade de realização de experiências no sistema real e a segunda à possibilidade que os modelos oferecem em testar distintas alternativas de um modo mais seguro e económico. O objetivo principal desta dissertação consiste no estudo e desenvolvimento de dois modelos, baseados no modelo de transporte de quatro passos, com recurso ao software de modelação de transportes PTV Visum 16. Para tal, pretendeu-se aferir qual o modelo que representa melhor a área de estudo, focando o estudo na geração/atração e distribuição da matriz OD. Desse modo, para o estudo foram geradas duas matrizes origem-destino, sendo uma baseada em dados recolhidos de diversas fontes e contagens de tráfego, enquanto a segunda baseou-se simplesmente em contagens de tráfego. Para além disso, efetuou-se a calibração e validação das matrizes utilizando dois conjuntos de contagens de tráfego, um para cada processo. Por último, foi efetuada uma comparação entre resultados observados e obtidos nos modelos, em que se conclui que sem a existência de uma matriz Origem-Destino não se pode determinar qual dos modelos representa a realidade.
Currently the application of traffic simulation models in the study of urban networks constitutes an important support tool for the testing and analysis of transport problems, essentially for two reasons. The first is due to the difficulty of carrying out experiments in the real system and the second to the possibility that the models offer in testing different alternatives in a safer and cheaper way. The main objective of this dissertation is the study and development of two models, based on the four-step transport model, using the PTV Visum 16 transport modelling software. For this, it was intended to ascertain which model best represents the area of study, focusing the study on generation/attraction and distribution of the OD matrix. Thus, two origin-destination matrices were generated for the study, one based on data collected from various sources and traffic counts, while the second was based simply on traffic counts. In addition, calibration and validation of the matrices were performed using two sets of traffic counts, one for each process. Finally, a comparison was made between observed and obtained results in the models, in which it is concluded that without the existence of an Origin-Destination matrix it is not possible to determine which of the models represents reality.
