Full textAbstract:
Architectural curvilinear form has been on the scene since the time of the first building shelters. Curve is the most common form in nature. This phenomenon inspired human beings while they are building structures. Curvilinear form has developed over centuries, via structural enhancements and aesthetic tenets. A symbolic meaning is tailored to curvilinear structures such as use of domes in religious buildings. However, the difficulties in the construction process of these forms have been a challenge for people throughout the history. Today, introduction of computer aided design and manufacturing technologies into building industry encourages the use of curvilinear forms in architecture. This study intends to explore the relationship between structure and architectural curvilinear form. The curvilinear form will be examined basically according to its structural potentials through its geometrical configuration. A computer model of the roof of Channel Tunnel Railway Terminal at Waterloo is generated and with some geometrical modifications for the configuration of the roof, new schemes of structures are obtained. An analytical comparison of structural behavior and efficiency is made via the computer model of the roof and these modified configurations.

One of the biggest problems of today is transport, especially in the cities. The transport has many negative effects, like congestions, pollution and others. The solutions of this situation are very hard and they have no integrated methodology. This doctoral thesis has two theoretic objectives: 1. set up new concept of city logistics, which means the integration of several disciplines, important for integrated admission to soluted problems 2. validate the pertinence of simulation in the new koncept of city logistics, created in objective 1 The thesis has also one concrete objektive, which is the validation of effectiveness of one project. The investigated project is removal of the train station in Brno.

Full textAbstract:
Trespassing behaviour is a problem for railway operations and manifests itself through train-pedestrian collisions, incidents of theft and vandalism to rail infrastructure, as well as encroachment on railway property. The study has consisted of a quantitative and a qualitative part. The quantitative part analyses demographic, temporal and spatial data on train-pedestrian fatalities and injuries, as well as data on occurrences of theft and malicious damage to rail infrastructure in the Cape Town Functional Region between 2015 and 2018. The qualitative part presents the perspective from a diverse group of subject matter experts, having explored opinions on trespassing behaviours and preventative measures. Additionally, the trespassing behaviour at several sites was investigated and a case study evaluation of the efficacy of a pilot Rail Enforcement Unit was carried out. There were 456 railway-related deaths during the study period with 330 of this being train-pedestrian collisions. There were 4715 occurrences of theft and malicious damage to railway assets over the period. Several hot-spot areas were identified via the data and interviews with experts and several sites chosen for further verification. Site visits confirmed widespread trespassing behaviours with the two worst locations recording an average of over 300 persons in a 15-minute period. The case study reviewing the effectiveness of the security and enforcement countermeasure revealed that occurrences of train-pedestrian incidents, as well as security occurrences have increased by 1.4% and 7.5% respectively. Evidence of geographical displacement of crime is evident, suggesting that enforcement countermeasures are temporarily effective and need to be considered in combination with other measures to ensure its durability. In conclusion, this research presents a detailed analysis of railway trespassing and its main effects in order to understand the problem locally. Different approaches are required to combat the various guises of railway trespassing. Certain countermeasures may well be within the rail operator's remit, but essentially, the nature of problems experienced by the rail operator is beyond a rail problem, and requires a systems approach involving multiple authorities

Full textAbstract:
This thesis explores the potential contribution that could be made to core area revitalization through the integration of outdoor recreation planning, ecological planning, and urban planning. The revitalization of urban centres, and especially those of mid-size cities, has typically been explored through policy planning, economic vitality, and urban design. An area, which often has been neglected, is that of urban outdoor recreation, specifically recreation that is carried out in an ecologically compatible fashion. The thesis examines theoretical and practical approaches in outdoor recreation planning, ecological planning, and urban planning, addressing any gaps and insufficiencies that seem to hinder the integration of the three disciplines in terms of devising practical solutions to identified issues. The core area in the city of Waterloo serves as a case study to examine the feasibility of integrating ecological planning, outdoor recreation planning, and urban planning. This research indicates that ecological planning is a versatile and responsive planning approach whereas outdoor recreation planning and urban planning seem disconnected from each other. Planning for outdoor recreation needs to be more inclusive and coordinated with other disciplines, such as urban planning and ecological planning. The thesis applies these findings in recommendations for the City of Waterloo to consider when planning its core area.

Full textAbstract:
The census enumerators' books (CEBs) of Winchester between 1841 and 1891 are the focus of this thesis. They are examined, in association with other records like trade directories, share contracts and visual evidence of photographs, maps and plans, to track aspects of the economic, social and topographical development of Winchester, with specific reference to the effect of the railways in the later nineteenth century. Surviving rail company records of passengers and freight for this period are scarce and so the census is used to indicate a tangible yet difficult to quantify effect: the impact of the railways upon a city that was neither a railway town nor an industrial centre. The census provides evidence of the structure of the de facto population on census night every ten years, and the CEBs show this detail at the level of the individual. It therefore provides a revealing picture of change and continuity in the city at a time when it experienced its most momentous demographic change since medieval times. As such, the analysis contained within is of relevance to people studying both nineteenth century history and the post-medieval history of Winchester. The methodology employed in this work, a sourceoriented KAE1CD database, is a product of the techniques employed by those working in historical computation. The study uses almost 2 million pieces of information in a database covering a continuous run of 50 years of censuses, allowing both a broad and detailed analysis of the data to take place. Using evidence from CEBs as well as concomitant local sources, this thesis questions the extent to which the railway did affect the city. It finds that despite the redistribution of a larger population throughout the city and many changes in the economic and topographical structure of the city, it is rarely possible to expose a quantifiable influence of rail transport.

Full textAbstract:
[Truncated abstract] Rational order and play are often conceptualised as oppositional forces. In modern urban life especially, rational order is presented as destructive of a playful orientation towards life eschewing mystery through coherence, spontaneity through predictability, and contingency through systematic planning. In turn, the postmodern debate often asserts the reinvigoration of free, playful, and contingent individuals whose collective acts are destructive of the rationality of modern order with the present, in contrast to the past, offering a condition of enduring and unremitting uncertainty. This thesis explores the dynamic relation between rational order and play in urban society through an ethnographic account of a public commuter railway in Perth, Western Australia. Notwithstanding this ethnographic setting, the thesis addresses questions of broader significance through an analysis of the railway as an instance of public space and state techno-bureaucratic order. I investigate the creative process through which the state attempts to standardise the various operational components of the railway as well as the reasons underpinning the state's desire to produce what I term a 'clean machine'. In turn, I investigate how differentially positioned actors live within this carefully crafted machine. I do so by following the stories, experiences, and practices of: government administrators charged with building the railway; the managers who oversee the network's operation; the staff members who operate trains, clean stations, and discipline passengers; and the railway's end-users, including passengers and graffiti artists. ... In examining the two tensions of rational order/play and revelation/ concealment, I attempt to explicate how it is that people experience life as simultaneously coherent and serendipitous. In the thesis, I document the ways in which railway officials, passengers, and graffiti artists express a pervasive ambivalence towards their experience of the railway system. On the one hand, these actors experience the railway as a system of constraint that produces 'robotic' behaviours and automated transactions. On the other, they see the railway as a liberating space that enables autonomous expression and spontaneous interaction. By examining these contending experiences and associated sentiments, I highlight the railway as a stimulating site within which to explore the meaning and significance of urban modernity. Lastly, this thesis contributes to debate on the challenges posed by the character of contemporary social processes to anthropological research methodology. I illustrate the utility of such methods as written and photographic diaries as well as mental-mapping exercises, but primarily advocate the documentary and analytical advantages of participant observation in a mobile field-site. I assert that while participant observation poses a number of personal and professional challenges in this setting, these challenges uncover the stimulating complexity of contemporary urban life. To this end, I contest emergent academic commentary that propounds the destabilisation of anthropological techniques in what is frequently described as an equally destabilised world.

The Quebec City festivals of 1927 and 1928 represent a unique instance of close collaboration between prominent figures in Canadian musical and cultural history, John Murray Gibbon and Marius Barbeau. Based on Anglocentric concerns for a unique Canadian identity and corresponding school of composition, the festivals served as points of contact between many artists and performers, including Juliette Gauthier and Florence Glenn. An analysis of specific performances at the CPR festivals and over the course of Glenn and Gauthier’s respective careers showcase how racialized attitudes towards Indigenous populations, and the static conceptualization of French-Canadian folk culture were navigated to perform “Canadian folksong.”

Full textAbstract:
The study: "Evaluation of the re-introduced South African Police Service Railway
Police Unit in the City of Tshwane Metropolitan Municipality" reflects on the
significant developmental initiatives that have taken place in the rail environment as
a result of the re-introduction of the South African Police Service Railway Police Unit
(SAPSRPU). The research focused on the place and role of the SAPSRPU in the
context of crime combating and prevention in the railway network of the City of
Tshwane Metropolitan Municipality (CTMM).
South Africa entered a new era of transformation and democracy in the 1990s. The
transformation of the security apparatus, in particular the South African Police (SAP),
was aimed at creating a pollce service that would build a safe and secure
environment for all the people in South Africa. The process of transformation in
South Africa, especially the integration of the various police forces from authoritarian
rule to a single integrated service, has been widely regarded as being successful
and a model for other processes of security in the reform sector. However, the task
of fulfilling the overall policing work has proved to be an overwhelming one, and
several challenges still remain for the improvement of safety and security
governance.
Up until 1986, law and order on the rail network in South Africa were provided by a
special railway police, commonly known as the South African Railways Police Force
(SARPF), which resorted under the control of the South African Transport Services
(SATS), as it was then known. The SARPF was disbanded in 1986, and its members
were integrated into the South African Police (SAP), which had a weird mandate and
various roles, as its focus was to sustain the apartheid machinery.
The consequences of the decision to disband the SARPF were to have a hugely
devastating effect on the rail commuters who were mainly black working class and
poor citizens. Criminals from various notorious urban hots pots migrated to the rail
environment; political violence also discovered a habitat in the rail commuter
environment. The insecure conditions that rail commuters experienced on a daily basis in the rail environment did not improve with the dawn of the democratic rule of
the past 16 years.
The main aim of this study was to evaluate the place and role of the re-introduced
SAPSRPU by analysing the impact since re-introduction of the SAPSRPU in the
CTMM. The research focused on a study of the relevant legislation and transport
policies in comparison to the safety and security of public components in the
passenger rail environment. The research was conducted by means of the
qualitative paradigm approach, with semi-structured interviews as the basis for
collecting the required information on the identified research population of the
elected commuter rail forum leadership and the SAPSRPU commanders in the
CTMM.
Chapter 1 provides an orientation and background to the study about the railway
police. Chapter 2 focuses on the place, key roles and functions, statutory
frameworks and regulatory policies of the SAPSRPU. Chapter 3 focuses on the
research methodology and the data analysis as regards the literature review and the
roles and functions of the SAPSRPU. Chapter 4 covers the key findings of the
research, while Chapter 5 covers the conclusions, limitations and recommendations
made.Thesis (M. Development and Management)--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2010

Project deals with the Brno main railway station and a large area behind this station, including the broader context of a railway junction in Brno and the suburban area. Station is located in the user-friendly and operationally advantageous location in the city center. „Zanádraží“, from the city center point of view, remains behind the station, but it isn`t the city inside periphery anymore. Proximity to city center, train and bus station and the river „Svratka“ give uniquely positioned for the generation of attractive neighborhoods. Author rejects functionalist arrangement of cities and vertical segregation of communications. The new city district is formed by use traditional urban repertoire: streets, squares and waterfronts defined by closed block development. The emphasis is on functional public transportation system, favorable conditions for pedestrian movement and the sustainability of private transport, which is providing a facility for ensuring the service areas, but not for undirected growth threatening urban environment.

Full textAbstract:
The integration of an official project for overground railway viaduct into envisaged urban structure of Brno city south centre is the key consideratoin of this project. In terms of transportation relationships in the regional scale this line can provide with the transport options spread more evenly. Moreover, the junction in the existing position would remain in operation since the new regional railway station is placed in there, avoiding the only junction available in the replaced station further away. The new regional line technical project (concept: ing. Josef Veselý, project: Metroprojekt a.s.) has inserted the railway viaduct upon the space designated for a wide boulevard connecting the replaced railway station to the city centre. The boulevard is defined in the city´s masterplan. In terms of architecture, image of the city and sensual quality of space, the presence of a huge traffic infrastructure is not desirable and causes serious public and proffesional considerations. The Compact City project challenges this dilemma by wrapping the viaduct in the building volumes. The project suggests that the spaces both beneath the viaduct and above it could be utilized. Such a solution has been seen in many european cities (Vienna, London, Paris, Amsterdam). The Compact City project´s land use strategy brings up and defines relatively broad and homogenous areas for distinctive uses. This is derived from the knowledge that the particular uses tend to accumulate and segregate from one another so as to reach the most efficient position. Being the city considered as a whole the mixture of uses seam to be more convenient when an appropriate scale of mixture is achieved. Enclaves of a particular size, nor too big nor too small, would be glued and connected by a elements shared in use and heterogenous in form. The housing area is both divided and at the same time connected to the area of commercial and shopping by means of the public amenities being housed in the overrail building. Particularly those uses and activities are envisaged and designed which do not require a perfect contact and access to and from the street space.

At a time of changes on the territory during the 19th century, the political and socioeconomic elites of the province and later State of Rio Grande do Norte evolved a discourse in order to justify the permanence of Natal as a city holding a status of capital. In this work we analyze the means employed by the ruling classes to impose their wish to raise Natal to an outstanding position among the existing cities by intervening on the territory during a period of one hundred years (1820-1920). During that time, which was characterized by changing commercial flows and technological development, the elites interventions were essentially directed to the implementation of modes of transportation, especially the railway. We try to understand the reinforcement of Natal as a capital city not only in political and administrative terms, but mainly in a commercial and symbolic manner, through the discourse and interventions undertaken by the local administrative elites, who stimulated the creation of a set of relations on the territory that also imprinted visible marks in the capital s urban fabric. These interventions were based upon the establishment of an infrastructure for exporting the State s production, firstly through and despite the Potengi River, and later on by the construction of railways. Although the project of Natal s hegemony had been outlined before the establishment of the railway network, in both cases the ultimate objective was to reinforce and develop the capital city as a commercial urban center to the detriment of other cities
Numa ?poca de mudan?as no territ?rio, durante o s?culo XIX, as elites pol?ticas e socioecon?micas da prov?ncia e posteriormente do estado do Rio Grande do Norte desenvolveram o discurso que objetivava justificar a perman?ncia de Natal como cidade com status de capital. Neste trabalho, analisamos os meios empregados pela administra??o no intuito de impor sua vontade de elevar Natal a uma posi??o de destaque entre as cidades existentes atrav?s de interven??es no territ?rio por um per?odo de cem anos (1820-1920). Durante esse tempo, caracterizado pela transforma??o das transa??es comerciais e pelo desenvolvimento tecnol?gico, as interven??es das elites se dirigiam essencialmente ? instala??o de vias de comunica??o, particularmente das estradas de ferro. Tentamos compreender a consolida??o de Natal enquanto cidade capital n?o somente no que diz respeito aos aspectos pol?ticos e administrativos, mas sobretudo em termos comerciais e simb?licos, atrav?s dos discursos e das interven??es empreendidas pelas elites administrativas locais, que estimulavam a cria??o de um conjunto de rela??es sobre o territ?rio que terminaram por deixar marcas vis?veis tamb?m no tecido urbano da capital. Estas interven??es se fundamentavam na instala??o de uma infra-estrutura que permitisse a exporta??o da produ??o do estado, primeiramente atrav?s e apesar do rio Potengi, posteriormente por meio da constru??o das estradas de ferro. Embora o projeto da hegemonia de Natal tenha sido esbo?ado antes do estabelecimento da rede ferrovi?ria, nos dois casos, o objetivo ?ltimo era refor?ar e desenvolver a cidade capital como um centro comercial em detrimento de outras aglomera??es

Main reason of this I see in insufficient regulation of car traffic. Big amount of cars takes big part of cities and burden it by dust and noise. Also the scale of cities is adapted for cars. That is way I designed city quarter without possibility of private car access. It's alternative to common ways and under arrest to the center of sustainable development it demonstrates it's preferences and becomes alive exhibit. In hart of third platform is situated former cargo railway-station Gare de Sébeillon. It designed for reconversion to the center of sustainable development.

Este trabalho é uma reflexão sobre o processo de territorialização da rede ferroviária do ramal do Paranapanema (PR) entre municípios de Jaguariaíva, Arapoti e Wenceslau Braz. A delimitação temática e espacial justifica-se pela carência de estudos sobre o patrimônio ferroviário na região, assim como a compreensão de que esta proposta possa incorporar os estudos consolidados sobre a presença da ferrovia no estado do Paraná, ressaltando-se aspectos históricos e geográficos dos municípios abordados. Dessa forma, a compreensão da dinâmica da ferrovia e da construção constante desse patrimônio dá-se através de uma metodologia que trata tanto dos elementos materiais e imateriais da ferrovia, em um viés territorial que considera os aspectos diacrônicos e sincrônicos das relações resultantes entre o homem, a técnica e a sociedade. Compreende-se que as relações de poder se dão em diversas escalas e permeiam a história da ferrovia desde a sua implantação, passando pela desestatização e concessão ao capital privado na década de 1990 até os dias de hoje. Tais relações produzem territorialidades entendidas como produtos das relações dos sujeitos e o território/rede da ferrovia. Da mesma forma, os vestígios produzidos pela presença técnica da ferrovia podem ser entendidos como um patrimônio industrial cujos reflexos podem ser percebidos nos âmbitos econômicos, sociais, políticos e culturais. O tema principal deste trabalho é, portanto, o patrimônio cultural ferroviário do ramal do Paranapanema. Para esta análise geográfica, os capítulos foram organizados de forma a estabelecer as possíveis relações entre três pares dialéticos: território e rede; memória e patrimônio e relação campo e cidade. As territorializações da ferrovia e suas consequências na organização espacial dos municípios abordados (frisando-se a relação campo e cidade) foram analisadas a partir do sistema de ações de Santos (2006), em resposta ao desafio proposto pelo autor de um método de análise geográfica que considera as estruturas, processos, formas e funções. Dessa forma, o objetivo geral deste trabalho é “compreender, a partir da análise das memórias e das territorialidades, a dinâmica do patrimônio ferroviário no ramal do Paranapanema (PR), considerando-se as rugosidades e funcionalidades que se encerram nos espaços geográficos”. Para isso, foram realizadas pesquisa bibliográfica e coleta de dados, que examinados a partir da análise das memórias e das percepções são apresentados enquanto elementos importantes para uma compreensão sobre as múltiplas territorialidades produzidas por esse vasto território em rede da ferrovia. “Fatos”, “rugosidades” e “funcionalidades” foram determinantes na compreensão do diálogo entre objeto, objetivos, conceitos teórico e material obtido a partir da análise da experiência humana na apropriação espacial. Palavras-chave: território/rede da ferrovia; patrimônio cultural; memória; relação
This work is a reflection on the territorialization process of the railway network of the Paranapanema branch around the towns of Jaguariaíva, Arapoti and Wenceslau Braz, in the state of Parana. The thematic and spatial delimitation is justified by the lack of studies on the railway heritage in the region, as well as by the notion that this proposal may incorporate the canon of consolidated studies about the railway presence in the state of Parana, while highlighting historical and geographical aspects of the towns at hand. Thus, understanding the railway dynamic and the constant construction of this heritage requires a methodology that encompasses both the material and immaterial elements of the railway, in a territorial approach that considers the diachronic and synchronic aspects of the resulting relationships between man, technique, and society. It is understood that power relations take place on different scales and permeate the history of the railway, since its implementation, through the process of leaving state-ownership to its concession to private capital in the 1990s, until the present days. These relations produce territorialities that are regarded as results from the relations between the individuals and the railway territory/network. In the same way, the vestiges created by the technical presence of the railway may be understood as an industrial heritage whose reflections may be noticed in the economic, social, political, and cultural scopes. The principal theme of this work is, therefore, the railway cultural heritage in the Paranapanema branch. However, the theoretical discussion and the results obtained are presented in a methodological perspective that intends to surpass dichotomous views, connecting important concepts to the discussion. For this geographical analysis, the chapters are organized so as to establish the possible relations between three dialectical pairs: territory and network; memory and heritage; and city and countryside. The territorializations of the railway and their consequences in the spatial organization of the towns approached (emphasizing the city-countryside relation) were analyzed based on Santos's (2006) system of actions, answering the challenge proposed by the author of a method of geographical analysis that considers the structures, processes, shapes, and functions. Thus, the general objective of this work is “understanding, based on the analysis of memories and territorialities, the dynamic of the railway heritage in the Paranapanema branch (PR), taking into account the roughness and functionality that are enclosed in geographical spaces”. With that in mind, a bibliographical research and a data collection were conducted, which, examined from the analysis of memories and perceptions, are presented as important elements for comprehending the multiple territorialities produced by this vast territory of the railway network that extends itself on a global scale. “Facts”, “roughness”, and “functionality” were determinant in understanding the dialogue between object, objectives, theoretical concepts, and material obtained through an analysis of the human experience in the appropriation of space.

Full textAbstract:
The subject of the thesis is a part of the South Center of Brno. After a long period of time, the locality is starting to "wake up to life", thanks to the fact that after a few decades it was finally decided on the fate and location of the Central Station. Thus, it is expected to expand the city in a southern direction. Then incorporate adjacent areas to the center. The thesis follows the project from 2018, the subject of which was the design of an urban concept of a territorial unit defined by Opuštěná Street, the Lower Railway Station, the Svratka River and the planned new urban class located on the visual axis of Cathedral (st. Petr and Pavel). Therefore, the thesis deals with the architectural study of a part of this area, situated near the river Svratka, on the border of the newly emerging city embankment. It is a multifunctional block, with predominant use for housing with 136 apartments for about 450 inhabitants. This block is further divided into 3 buildings, which have two underground floors providing technological background, and parking spaces for the entire multifunctional block. Further, the architectural study focuses on one of these polyfunctional block objects and processes it in more detail. The building of the residential building, called "A" in the study, provides a total of 47 apartments. And in the ground floor of the building there are rentable spaces for various uses. The effort of the proposal was to create quality living in a unique location on the waterfront and provide the inhabitants with a view of the Svratka River and the park on the opposite bank, even though it is almost in the city center.

The assignment of diploma thesis was the design of a sustainable urban structure based on a medieval city in Náměšť nad Oslavou. As part of the work, I tried to find the best solution for this solved area, which is isolated by a railway corridor and suggest a new city district based on the principle of a medieval city, which will be linked to the existing city. The proposed development of city blocks is built on a system of platforms that level the terrain within the blocks and enable optimal parking spaces and the use of commercials. This development is complemented by several blocks with villa houses and a city SPA complex. The proposal supports the construction of cycle paths that connect parts of the solved area with the Rathan recreation pond. The design also includes a large park with a lookout tower and a sports ground on the city horizon ner the SPA complex. The accent was also placed on the public area near the new railway station, which serves to gather people for cultural and entertainment opportunities. This public space should not compete with an existing Masaryk square, which fulfills a representative and administration function.

Diploma project seeks for new visions in urban solutions of area south of Brno main railway station. This place could become an interesting space for new spacial creativity in connection with the project of new railway station. The work looks for alternatives to officially presented projects with orderly and straight street layouts to create pleasing and livable public space, which would become not only the tour from station to the city, but the city itself. Six meters of height difference is used to separate road and pedestrian traffic and offers an undisturbed walking movement through the elevated pedestrian streets, which are not so deep as they would be when on the ground level, so their width could be downsized to a pleasant minumum, whereas all necesary functions (like parking and supplies areas) také place below it. Geometrical concept of two shifted hexagonal grids delivers a practical large blocks on the ground level for parking and divides the area into separate projects. The walking streets` grid fractionates big portions into more subtle building block layout so comfortable for pedestrian movement. Project also deals with development phases of area to protect it from nonreversible tenous development at the beginning. The structure works as a lively city in the very beginning of the development.

The assigned territory is situated in the City of Brno, in the city district of Židenice. From the west it is limited by the railway track Brno-Židenice, from the east by Koperníkova Street, from the north by Lazaretní Street and finally from the south by Bubeníčkova Street. Its area is approximately 45, 480 m2 which is 4,55 ha. From the urban perspective it is an intensive development in a separated block of the city with a protection zone. Total area is permeated by a few lines for pedestrians. The pedestrian zone provides better permeability of the area and better accessibility of the trade parterre. The buildings connect to surrounding development and respect the density of the integrity of the area. Intensive housing structure is regarded as "the city of short distance". The achievement of high density of housing development combines lots of various functions and relatively small built-up surface. While high-quality environment is preserved, people can find job oportunities in the intensive housing development without the need for transport. For achievement conception of compact city applies space urban planning. The shape of the estate directly impacted the principle of the proposal together with the city planning context of the current buildings. In the protective zone there is established a huge park with water reservoirs. The walk-through trade parterre is filled with many various functions, on its walkable roof is created a semi-public zone with skylights and freely introduced verdure. On the walkable roof there are independent blocks of apartments and public facilities. In the northern and southern corner are located public-service utilities and in the middle of this area there is a nursery and a kindergarden. In structural terms the building it is about cast-in-place concrete reinforced frame based on a white concrete foundation which has one underground level and five above-ground levels.

Full textAbstract:
Planning for individuals with varying degrees of impairments has, over the past 40 years, challenged conventional approaches to community development. However, more recently there has emerged, both within research and greater society, a need to understand how the disabling nature of the built environment impacts our inevitably aging population. Recognizing such, this thesis research explores whether planning policies within the City of Waterloo reflect an age-friendly model of development. Moreover, recognizing that the aging population increasingly experiences some form of impairment, this research further utilizes universal design as means to more comprehensively review for an aging supportive model. The fundamental goal of an age-friendly approach is to address the needs of individuals at all stages of their life with an obvious emphasis on promoting longer independence. A number of literature sources were utilized in developing two separate analysis tools that focused on goal-oriented policies such as Official Plans as well as prescriptive planning policy including Zoning By-laws and Urban Design Guidelines. This research attempts to provide a means with which to determine the age-friendliness of planning policies, how age-friendly policies may incorporate provisions regarding accessibility, as well as changes that municipalities may wish to consider in the implementation of an age-friendly model.

Full textAbstract:
Most parents aspire to raise children who are independent, healthy and productive members of society. In this pursuit, parents struggle to balance freedom and safety. Current theory and research suggests that North American society has gone too far in the quest for safety and control, shielding children from necessary experiences. While confined in backyards and schools and spending increasing amounts of time in front of televisions and computers, children fail to build connections with the natural world and the wider community.
In 1991, Canada ratified the United Nations’ Convention on the Rights of the Child. This convention grants children specific rights, ranging from the right to clean water to the right to be heard on issues that affect them. While Canadian children fare well on many of the requirements, they are rarely consulted on decisions that affect their well-being. Public spaces, beyond schools and playgrounds, are not designed for or with children. Children’s free time is restricted, and outdoor play takes place within confined areas. Children have limited access to natural areas, and are trained to fear and avoid these spaces. These trends are disturbing from physical, social and mental health perspectives, as well as that of long-term environmental sustainability. The UNICEF (United Nations Children’s Fund) program, Child Friendly Cities, offers guidelines for improving the way children are addressed at the municipal level.
This research uses the City of Waterloo, Ontario, as a case study to document these issues and offer possible solutions. The research was designed to answer the following questions: “How do urban children perceive and interact with their communities?” “What is the relationship between children and the natural environment within urban settings?” “To what extent are children consulted or considered in community planning and decision-making?” and “Can the Child Friendly City model be used to re-connect children with the natural environment?” Fifty-four elementary school students were interviewed, asked to draw pictures of their neighbourhoods and to rate a series of local images. Results were combined with teacher and city official interviews, as well as analyses of strategy and policy documents. This study identifies ways in which Waterloo can help children connect with the natural world and become more active members of their communities.
Overall, the research indicated that there are three main areas of concern: the child-nature interaction, the nature-community interaction and the child-community interaction. First, the child-nature interaction could be nurtured through improved access to nature. Children’s access to and use of nature in Waterloo is limited. Only 58.53% of students included a green element in neighbourhood drawings. Many children fear or are banned from natural green spaces. Outdoor education is decreasing, with some teachers avoiding field trips entirely. According to government procedures, children are not considered stakeholders of natural green spaces. Second, the nature-community interaction would improve with more consistent conservation and restoration efforts. While some city policies promote the acquisition and conservation or restoration of urban natural areas, others conflict with their intentions. Rapid development has led to a loss of opportunities for green space development. Third, the child-community interaction can be promoted by involving children in decision-making processes. There are no venues for children to participate in government. While older youth may participate in the Youth Recreation Council, there are no opportunities for younger children. Outreach is limited.
Attention to these three main interactions would help the City of Waterloo become more child-, nature- and community- friendly. The UNICEF Child Friendly City program describes a set of goals and a framework that would support these interactions.

Industrial railway used to be the foundation facilitated the economy development of Kaohsiung hundred years ago. But with diverse requirement and goal under different developing background, this once fundamental infrastructure was gradually eliminated. However, the rise of culture preservation and the concern from local railway organization has activated the revival of such forgotten railway. This study aims to understand the user’s satisfaction based on their reaction after experiencing the retrofit and activation of Kaohsiung Harbor Railway Station, for the purpose of providing further suggestion on railway park renewal or design in the future. The result shows that most of the users are citizens of Kaohsiung but not necessarily reside or work near Railway Park. Furthermore, most satisfying conservation method belongs to the reactivation of Gongyuan Road Bridge. On transportation sector, the easy connection to surrounding viewpoints is the most important factor. Finally, public consider that street furniture is the most satisfying service among public facility.

Underground Railway Tunnel Construction or Railway in 3D Construction has great benefit to city development. Once the construction finished and operated, those undeveloped areas due to railway blocked will be highly improved. In the future, railway system collocating with Kaohsiung MRT, Light Rail Rapid Transit and Taiwan High Speed Rail will consist into a convenient traffic network, enable to distribute large number of crowds and create a new era for city redevelopment in Kaohsiung. In this study, by applying the project of Love River underground railway tunnel construction in Kaohsiung as an example to explore the Hazard Identification of across river railway construction. The questionnaires were issued to the owners who worked in the underground railway tunnel project of Love River in Kaohsiung, supervision units and contractors, etc.. A total of 180 copies were distributed, and 152 copies were returned. The questionnaires were analyzed by SPSS 20.0. through Descriptive Statistics, Reliability Analysis, Independent t-test, Descriptive Statistics Analysis, One-Way ANOVA, Regression Analysis. The study summarized the result of the analysis and presented recommendation as a guide to the future research. The results found that “Construction equipment is too risky to operate in waterfront space,” “Construction prone river seepage water gushing and people drowning,” “Engineers addict to alcoholic beverages,” and “Engineers neglect personal protective equipment" were considered to be the most difficulties under control by the 152 respondents. At the same time, “Facilities for railway engineering manufacturers should fully understand the relevant laws”, and “Railway construction should be participated by contractors who have relevant experience” were agreed by most respondents in order to reduce accidents from happening by applying their experience to judge the best way to work. The information of the study drawn from literature review and questionnaires, to investigate the importance of cross-river railway construction safety, maintenance and management through actual cases and make useful recommendation for Kaohsiung underground railway or other related works to be successfully completed and minimize the industrial safety hazards and accidents.

Full textAbstract:
Since the 1990s, Municipal Solid Waste Management (MSWM) has shifted to a more comprehensive approach with an emphasis on managing Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) through the whole process from generation to disposal. Meanwhile, developing countries started to alter their ways of managing wastes and engage in more efforts on waste diversion. Due to their shortage of both resources and expertise, developing countries usually refer to and learn from developed countries’ experiences in MSWM to improve their own practices. How and to what extent these experiences are helpful for developing countries remains inconclusive because significant differences are present among MSWM systems in different countries. These differences do not simply reflect the variations in regulations and resource allocation; more importantly, they reflect the variations in the underlying connections between MSWM and other social, economic, demographic, and technological conditions. Therefore, a systematic examination is needed to enhance the understanding of these differences, the reasons for these differences, and the priorities that need to be stressed in order to improve waste diversion in a particular case.
A systematic model, as the framework for the comparison in this thesis, is proposed to illustrate MSMW systems. Based on the model, this thesis compares and contrasts two cases, the Regional Municipality of Waterloo (RMOW) in Canada and Dalian City in China, at multiple levels: overall stage, system components, system structures, and interactions. The results show that Dalian, compared with the RMOW, has less sufficient capacities for waste planning and implementation. Challenges in MSWM are associated with higher density of residences, difficulties in managing informal profit-driven recycling activities, insufficient and unreliable treatment capacity, insufficient multi-agent dialogues and cooperation both within the government and between the public and private sectors, and less specific, program-based public education. The majority of participants in the RMOW are more self-motivated as opposed to the majority in Dalian who are motivated more by compensations.
Based on the comparison, implications and suggestions in several aspects concerning waste planning are discussed. From the systematic perspective, to improve waste diversion in Dalian requires collaborative efforts of multiple agents. The key aspect is to strengthen the relatively incompetent component in the system to improve the capacities for waste service and treatment, which are contingent on the development of waste industries. In Dalian, waste diversion should begin with limited types of wastes and gradually expand the scope, and new programs should be designed based on the existing system with cooperation of the informal sector. Meanwhile, cooperation among governmental divisions and between public and private sectors need to be promoted by encouraging multi-agent dialogues and improving information transparency. Program promotion also needs to be more specific in instructions and to address both pro- environmental attitudes and service quality and convenience. Finally, scavenging at landfill sites should be discouraged in order to protect scavengers from the detrimental working environment.

Positioning itself as an investigation into the affective capacity of transport, this thesis argues that the potential of a city is both composed and revealed through its systems of movement, contending that the sensorial and expressive qualities of a city’s transit govern how its citizens perceive and access the scope of experiences available to them. Essays on movement and identity, the limits of the city, immobility, adaptation, and eccentricities, move in parallel with meditations on departures, arrivals, and the time of transit toward a mandate for an amplification of motion and energy.
The thesis traces a route from Ontario through London, Rome, and northern Europe before returning to Toronto only to founder in the region’s gridlock. To free the city’s constricted potential, a new passenger rail line running from Pearson Airport, through Toronto on the Canadian Pacific Rail corridor north of Dupont Road, to the site of Pickering’s future international airport is proposed.
The key interchange of the new line, Lake Iroquois Station, is developed in detail, feeding on an intense overlap of historic and contemporary infrastructures. Located just south of the historic First Nations trading trail of Davenport Road at Dupont and Spadina, the station gathers the primary midtown electrical corridor, extensions of the Bathurst and Spadina streetcar lines, the existing University/Spadina subway, and expansions of the city’s cycling network, knotting them together with regional passenger rail in order to transport the city and its imagination.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis evaluates how municipal transit ridership in mid-sized cities is influenced by external factors. External factors are forces outside a municipality’s direct control but potentially affect the municipality in some way, in particular its transit ridership. The thesis also determines the appropriateness of municipal levels of response to each factor. Two mid-sized municipalities in Ontario, Canada – the City of Kingston and Region of Waterloo – were studied.
The evaluation, first, identifies the trends or “current conditions” between the municipalities and five sets of external factors to determine influence on ridership. The factors are 1. Population Growth and Density; 2. Demographics (Seniors, Students and Immigrants); 3. Regional Location; 4. Federal/Provincial Impacts; and 5. Fuel Prices.
Second, the municipality’s level of response was measured in three ways. Staff awareness of the factor and its influence was gauged using key informant interviews and municipal councillor surveys conducted by the researcher. Internal policy and guidance documents measured whether policies relating to each factor are appropriate. Finally, observations of implemented initiatives determined whether they appropriately deal with each factor.
The study finds that more external factors act on Waterloo than Kingston. Therefore, Waterloo has strong incentives to prioritize – among many municipal responsibilities – its transit system and to focus on increasing ridership. The strongest incentives for Waterloo are population growth, the student demographic and federal/provincial impacts. Kingston has only one strong incentive: the senior demographic. The study also finds that Waterloo has appropriate levels of response to more of the external factors than does Kingston. Recommendations for Kingston and Waterloo are provided for improving their levels of response to each set of factors.
The paper concludes that municipal size is an important driver, but internal levels of response are critical success factors. The data analysis matrix developed for this study can be used by other municipalities to help identify appropriateness of internal responses as they relate to the influence of external factors within their municipality.

After Taiwan high speed rail joins the transportation market at the west area of Taiwan in 2007, the original medium and long distance transportation market must be impacted and may cause the phenomenon of mode shift and the induced demand. In this study, we investigated the mode choice of travelers proceeding medium and long distance transportation, and we also analyzed the changes of the induced demand by traveler’s trip time. The data base used to evaluate the market share before and after the high speed rail is open to vehicular traffic were collected from the passengers or drivers of the air transportation, conventional rail, scheduled bus on national freeway and voluntarily driving in Taipei, Taichung, and Kaohsiung by designing questionnaire and field investigation. The persons to go there and back in Taipei, Taichung, and Kaohsiung were chosen to be the research target, and we proceeded to design questionnaire and field investigation about the situation scenarios of the stated preference and revealed preference. In the situation of revealed preference, the mode we considered included air transportation, conventional rail, scheduled bus on national freeway and voluntarily driving. In addition to these modes, the high speed rail was added in the situation of stated preference for analyzing the market share of various modes after the high speed rail is open to vehicular traffic. The results of basic statistic analysis indicated that the market share of the air transportation decreased largely after the high speed railway joins the transportation market. In terms of market share, scheduled bus on national freeway has a little less quantity than air transportation. In contrast to the condition without high speed railway, if the high speed railway joined the transportation market in the future, the average trip times of the travelers would increase, the induced demand would increase 1.14 %, and the transport capability would also expand largely. Results from Logit model analysis show that, the major factors affecting the mode choice of the travelers were profession and income. Under different models analysis, other variables included are traveler’s gender, age, educational background, and the private car number. The access and egress’s travel time of mode was one of the factors which could be considered when travelers choose the mode. The above results could be a reference for forecasting transportation demand, and they also offered information to the industry of transportation to make them adjust their service followed by various characteristics of travelers.

The former Hualien Railway station has removed in 1982 ever since the North Link Railway was had transport service in 1979. The building of station which fails in passenger transport was also torn down in 1992. Owing to the factory buildings of station were moved west, the former Hualien station and the railway which operated for 70 years had meantime faded away from prosperous memory. Since 2002, for the sake of integrating and maintaining the former East Link railway base and ruins, the Hualien County Cultural Affairs Bureau continually recorded the former railway station as historical buildings. In addition, it drew up an area which according to the concept of French Eco-museum. Although the former Hualien Railway station factory buildings were reconstructed, it’s worth discussing that the landscape whether can last and reappear the splendor or not. This research is by way of diachronic chart analysis and documents collection to explore the landscape change of the former Hualien Railway station surrounding, and reappears the process of prosperity and decline.Furthermore, analyzing the implement effects of Eco-museum on the aspects of humanities amorous feeling、natural landscape、cultural preservation and historical lasting. Finally, in accordance with Cultural Affairs Bureau、Taiwan Railways Administration and community resident to make a comprehensive survey of rebuild the area, in order to realize that the community near the former railway station whether identify with the area be revived or not, then propose subsequent suggestions.

The office buildings of the former Japanese Railways Administration in Eastern Taiwan Railways, also known as its other name “Hualien Harbor Branch (Shutsuchoujo) of Railway Ministry”, was established in 1909, and had been deserted since 1988. In 2002, Shutsuchoujo was successively registered as historic buildings, and caught the wave of abandoned space renewal. After eight years of restoration, it was officially opened in 2011 and renamed Hualien Railway Cultural Park. Based on Zukin’s concept of “whose culture? whose city?”, the study tries to explore 1) who has the power to control the development of the Cultural Park, 2) who has the access to use the space of the Park, 3) whose culture has been shaped and whose space of the Park belongs to? At the beginning of restoration, Hualien County Cultural Affairs Bureau has extensively consulted the experts to set the themes of the Park, but ignored the opinions from the local communities. This public space seemingly was designed to serve for the elites and produced a representation of cultural hegemony. Lots of cultural policies have been implemented in the Park, but finally fine art came out on top. Therefore it appeared that the other cultural activities and performances were gradually stepped aside from the space. After Hualien County Cultural Affairs Bureau outsourced some of the spaces to a private sector operator in 2013, the operators of the Park were shifting their business focus to creative industry and aboriginal culture. Soon after, the buildings were gradually sub-leased by the private executor in order to help finance the company’s maintenance. As Zukin described, handing the Park spaces over to private corporate means giving it carte blanche to remake a free public space into a private consumption space and also to mark the erosion of open access to the public space. The lifestyle preferences of the middle or elite classes were implanted into the Park by the private investors. By offering jazz performances, the themes have been shifted from experiencing the Japanese-style heritage into a kind of consumption of food, beverage, and music. In consequence, the cultural businesses which were based on the purposes of profit pursuing were rooted in this civic Park. Finally, the popular masses, the neighborhood, and the railway fans were all excluded by the culture crash. Key word: Hualien Railway Cultural Park, renewal of space, authenticity, sense of space

In recently year, conflicts such as the recent labor issues resulting in government policies can not be implemented, such as these events occurred worldwide. Therefore, this study use Grounded theory collected underground railway event in various field experts, academics and stakeholders, as content of neutral platform. Questionnaire will be down before browse platform and after browse platform, but can not be sure the sample is directly related to relocates, and statistical methods paired-samples t test analysis to understand how neutral platform influence people's thinking. The result found that, given a clear information, it will change its mind, and it will be more concerned about the development of the underground railway after understanding more deeply. The results shows the neutral platform can that the public see the diversity of event, and more concerned about the development of events, help to promote policy.

The 1st phase of underground railway project of Taipei City had brought about tremendous improvements on the traffic, urban landscape, and the total development capacity of the city. As a result, the conclusion of evaluation on each railway redevelopment project of various metropolitan areas was in favor of underground type, instead of overpass type. Nevertheless, despite of being a controversial issue, overpass railway was adopted for Taichung, Chiayi, and Pingtong due to the financial issue. There are advantages and disadvantages for both underground railway and overpass railway in railway grade-separated. In addition to financial issue, the decision making of this policy may be based on factors related to conditions of construction, urban planning, environment landscape, transportation, and etc. This project is of a national-wide scale that contains openness and conflicts in term of social justice. Therefore, a further study is needed to make it more comprehensive. In this study, literature survey and identification of critical issues were firstly carried out to obtain the important factors and scope for evaluation of various options for railway grade-separated. According to Fuzzy Delphi Method, there are 5 aspects and 22 factors need to be considered, including engineering, environment, transportation, urban, and economics. By Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process, the hierarchy was set through the evaluation. The theory was applied to the case of Taichung City, railway underground was considered to be the optimal option. The goal of this study is to build a model with professional, objective, rational, and comprehensive concern, which can be applied to the future evaluation of railway redevelopment. Ultimately, the performance of infrastructures of social system can be mostly beneficiated from the outcome of this study.
