Wu, Wanyang. "Optimization Models for Selecting Bus Stops for Accessibility Improvements for People with Disabilities". FIU Digital Commons, 2009. http://digitalcommons.fiu.edu/etd/224.
Texto completoResumen
Bus stops are key links in the journeys of transit patrons with disabilities. Inaccessible bus stops prevent people with disabilities from using fixed-route bus services, thus limiting their mobility. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990 prescribes the minimum requirements for bus stop accessibility by riders with disabilities. Due to limited budgets, transit agencies can only select a limited number of bus stop locations for ADA improvements annually. These locations should preferably be selected such that they maximize the overall benefits to patrons with disabilities. In addition, transit agencies may also choose to implement the universal design paradigm, which involves higher design standards than current ADA requirements and can provide amenities that are useful for all riders, like shelters and lighting. Many factors can affect the decision to improve a bus stop, including rider-based aspects like the number of riders with disabilities, total ridership, customer complaints, accidents, deployment costs, as well as locational aspects like the location of employment centers, schools, shopping areas, and so on. These interlacing factors make it difficult to identify optimum improvement locations without the aid of an optimization model. This dissertation proposes two integer programming models to help identify a priority list of bus stops for accessibility improvements. The first is a binary integer programming model designed to identify bus stops that need improvements to meet the minimum ADA requirements. The second involves a multi-objective nonlinear mixed integer programming model that attempts to achieve an optimal compromise among the two accessibility design standards. Geographic Information System (GIS) techniques were used extensively to both prepare the model input and examine the model output. An analytic hierarchy process (AHP) was applied to combine all of the factors affecting the benefits to patrons with disabilities. An extensive sensitivity analysis was performed to assess the reasonableness of the model outputs in response to changes in model constraints. Based on a case study using data from Broward County Transit (BCT) in Florida, the models were found to produce a list of bus stops that upon close examination were determined to be highly logical. Compared to traditional approaches using staff experience, requests from elected officials, customer complaints, etc., these optimization models offer a more objective and efficient platform on which to make bus stop improvement suggestions.

Chan, Chi Pak. "Large Scale Evacuation of Carless People During Short- and Long-Notice Emergency". Diss., The University of Arizona, 2010. http://hdl.handle.net/10150/195439.
Texto completoResumen
During an emergency evacuation, most people will use their vehicles to evacuate. However, there is a group of people who do not have access to reliable transportation or for some reason cannot drive, even if they have their own automobiles - the carless. There are different groups of carless (disabled, medically homebound, poor or immigrant populations, etc.) who require different forms of transportation assistance during an emergency evacuation. In this study we focus on those carless who are physically intact and able to walk to a set of designated locations for transportation during an emergency, and we propose using public transit and school buses to evacuate this carless group. A model has been developed to accommodate the use of public transit and school buses to efficiently and effectively evacuate the carless. The model has two parts. Part 1 is a location problem which aims at congregating the carless at some specific locations called evacuation sites inside the affected area. To achieve this goal, the affected area is partitioned into zones and this congregating of the carless has been formulated as a Single Source Capacitated Facility Location Problem. Changes in the demand of the carless in zones over different periods of a day and over different days of the week have been considered and included in the model. A walking time constraint is explicitly considered in the model. A heuristic developed by Klincewicz and Luss (1986) has been used to solve this location model.Part 2 is a routing problem which aims at obtaining itineraries of buses to pick up the carless at evacuation sites and transport them to safe locations outside the affected area, such that the total number of carless evacuated with the given time limit is maximized. A Tabu search heuristic has been developed for solving the routing problem. Computational results show that the Tabu search heuristic efficiently and effectively solves the routing problem; in particular, the initial heuristic produces a high quality initial solution in very short time. This study has also made slight contribution to the development of the Tabu search technique.

This research explores the complexities of young peoples’ personal understanding and experiences of violence and safety in public spaces. The research itself is constructed through establishing the interrelationships between the theories, practices and policies of safety and young people. Working through these links has facilitated an original framework for understanding by accessing data using young people’s own experiences and views. There is a significant body of published research exploring young people as offenders but a real absence, especially in the UK literature, of young people as potential victims of violent crime. In particular children’s own conceptualisations of risk, safety and victimisation are little understood. This research explores young people’s thoughts on exactly this. The empirical research draws upon qualitative data derived from semi-structured interviews with 21 young people aged from 10 to 18 years old taken from a socioeconomically mixed area of London. The findings show that irrespective of age, the young people have constructed a very real understanding of safety and risk. Children, even at a young age have developed a myriad of personal safety strategies that involve awareness of teenagers, locations and individuals who they perceive as guardians. However, these strategies emerge without meaningful reference to police or government policy and are largely embedded in a world far away from those in reach of official community safety agents. This research suggests that there needs to be a move away from portraying young people as ‘folk devils’ who sit at the heart of many ‘moral panics’ towards involving them as significant actors and contributors to social policy making by giving them a voice on the political stage.

Indigenous struggles over places are a response to the spatial reconfiguration that is part of an
ongoing process of colonization. This thesis explores how urban indigenous people contest social
exclusion through everyday place-making. I analyze how the residents of the Lote 68, an
indigenous neighborhood in the city of Formosa (Northern Argentina), cope with their position
of marginality within the city, by simultaneously embracing a project of "progress" and by reappropriating
the nearby bushes within rural private properties. The interviews and participant
observation I conducted among this group show that their use of space disputes the hegemonic
notions of aboriginality that articulate it as a poor, backward and a welfare-dependent identity.
Conversely, the bush is a place that offers Lote residents a way of coping with unemployment,
but more importantly, permits them to re-appropriate the notion of aborigen (indigenous person),
recreate meaningful forms of socialization, and ultimately generate an alternative access to the
city.Arts, Faculty of

Aceves-Gonzalez, Carlos. "The application and development of inclusive service design in the context of a bus service". Thesis, Loughborough University, 2014. https://dspace.lboro.ac.uk/2134/16265.
Texto completoResumen
This thesis investigates the design of inclusive services by integrating theory and approaches from the domains of Service Design and Inclusive Design. This integration was used to evaluate bus service use by younger and older people and the role of other stakeholders. The research was carried out through the case study of the bus service in Guadalajara, Mexico. As a result of this research, an inclusive service design approach and a tool are proposed to guide the design of inclusive services. Using an inclusive service design approach led to the application of a mixed methodology for data collection, which included: 1) a series of individual and group interviews with stakeholders as well as a document analysis; 2) structured focus groups with younger and older people; 3) observation of younger and older passengers using the service; and 4) accompanied journeys with older people. Data were analysed using both qualitative and quantitative techniques, and the results facilitated 1) the understanding of the service operation; 2) the identification of the main barriers for interaction with the service along a door-to-door journey; and 3) the determination of the gap between what younger and older users need and desire and what bus operators actually provide. The research then focussed on visualising and communicating the findings to stakeholders. An inclusive service blueprint was developed to graphically represent the level of difficulty in using the service by younger and older people across the door-to-door journey, and to highlight areas for service improvements. A final study was undertaken to assess the usefulness of the inclusive service approach and the blueprint in improving the bus service. Collectively, the findings indicate that integrating inclusive principles along with a Service Design approach provided several benefits in investigating and improving the bus service. The uniqueness of data generated by younger and older users and the understanding of inclusive principles by the stakeholders already shows the potential to lead to a more inclusive service given the activities now happening in Guadalajara. This research contributes to the discussion of how the design of services can evolve through the incorporation of inclusive principles in the design process. Whilst the research was undertaken in the context of the bus service in Guadalajara, the approach and some outcomes from this research may be applicable for designing inclusive services in other contexts around the world.

Texto completoResumen
The objective of the study was to assess the farmers’ knowledge and perceptions of P. incana invasion and impacts on rangeland, livestock production and livelihood in four communal grazing areas. Twenty households per village that own livestock were randomly selected to conduct an interview using an open and closed ended questionnaire. In each household, an old and knowledgeable respondent about P. incana invasion was used as a selection criterion. For scientific assessment of range condition, the experiment was conducted in a 270 m x 100 m trial plots that were established in 2014. The area was divided into 3 open and 3 fenced subplots each having an area of 45 m x 100 m established laid down a slope gradient. Each plot was divided into four equal subplots to apply the control treatments. Therefore, the trial layout was a stratified block experiment of four treatments replicated three times. The four control treatments applied to P. incana invasion were chopping and resting (CR), resting without chopping (RWOC), grazing and chopping (GC), grazing without chopping (GWOC). A step point method was applied in each transect to monitor species composition and P. incana cover. On the fenced plots two exclosures of 1mx1m size were randomly distributed to make sure that resting is maintained. Within exclosures 0.25 m2quadrates in each were put randomly to measure biomass. Density of P. incana was determined from 5 m x 5 m quadrates that were placed randomly within each sub-plot. The density and height of individual shrub plant was measured. All rooted live woody plants were recorded and counted in each quadrate. The results revealed that species composition was not affected (P>0.05) by the treatments applied. The herbage height and basal cover had greater values (P<0.05) under rested plus chopping (CR) treatment followed by grazed plus chopping (GC). Grass biomass production and essential nutrients showed a greater concentration (P<0.05) under CR treatment than any treatments applied. The results on perceptions revealed that goats had the highest mean household holding number than any other livestock species across the selected villages in all the villages. Respondents indicated that both goats and cattle had equal or more importance than sheep. Three out of four villages raised cattle primarily for income generation and secondarily for cultural purposes like slaughtering during weddings ceremonies, amazila and also during woman circumcisions (Ntonjane). Similarly, goats and sheep were primarily raised for cash income generation. The results revealed that livestock population decreased over ten to twenty years (one-two decades) and poor rangeland condition is assumed to be the cause of the situation as feed is the key factor for production. The area was dominated by the grasses rather than by browse woody species so the above results are possible as the P. incana is more competitive than grasses. It was concluded that P. incana is detrimental to both rangeland and animal production. Forage and animal performance as well as farmers’ economic status (livelihoods) were negatively affected by P. incana invasion and the scientific assessment reported it to be detrimental to agriculture. Thus chopping and resting (CR) treatment resulted in a greater improvement of the basal cover, biomass production, soil nutrients as well as grass height than the other treatments applied. Therefore it can be concluded that chopping and resting the veld invaded with P. incana can improve the range and consequently animal production.

Texto completoResumen
This thesis aims to show, how periodization and race converged vigorously during the nineteenth century. The research focuses mainly on the question of how nineteenth century historians viewed the transformation from Antiquity to the Middle Ages. For many scholars, the year 476 A.D. became associated with the fall of Rome. During the nineteenth century, historians elaborated two main arguments: 1) 'The Roman' emphasized the decline that had occurred after the fall of Rome. 2) 'The Teutonic' signified the rejuvenation which the German tribes had brought about in the decaying Empire. Although I relate to the 'Roman' argument, the heart of the discussion is devoted to the 'Teutonic' school that was supported not only by German but also by British or more accurately English historians. The first part of the dissertation is devoted to the theme of 'Community and Race'. In this part, I engage with the thematic question of how the historians of the second half of the nineteenth century constructed past and present communities through the concept of race. A close community or Gemeinschaft of English and German historians emerged during the middle of the nineteenth century. Based on the concept of Teutonic kinship, this community emphasized the notions of race and historical time, which actually invented a new sense of belonging. The English and the Germans were one, an almost indivisible community founded on a purported notion of race. Despite several national or particularistic inclinations, these nations had a common Teutonic past, which always bonded them together. Therefore, the historians 'imagined' a new ultimate transnational (racial) community of belonging. In the second part I study the theme of 'Time'. The linkage between the two parts is embedded in the idea of the Community as a 'Time Maker'. Namely, in what manner does the construction of a community by the historians defines the division of time. The chapter that links the two themes of 'Community' and 'Time' examines the writings of scholars in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries who underlined the Germanic invasions of the 4th and 5th centuries A.D. as the events that symbolized the fall of Rome and the end of Antiquity. This governing observation is connected directly with the racial Teutonic feelings that were prevalent among English and German historians. The discussion of it set the framework for the following chapters, which delve into the distinct periodization's of Edward Augustus Freeman (1823-92) and John Bagnell Bury (1861-1927). These historians, who were in constant and close contact until the death of Freeman in 1892, reveal similarities as well as major differences in their historical writings. The main reason why they were chosen derives from the new periodization which they had adopted. Both of them devised a method that signified a departure from the accepted and almost 'sacred' division between Antiquity and the Middle Ages.

Texto completoResumen
The self-driving public bus (SDPB) holds the potential to replace human-operated driving with more eco-friendly means and is therefore a valuable mobility solution for our future. The SDPB is based on the innovative technology of autonomous driving, which can only be guaranteed future market success with broad enough user acceptance. This acceptance is thus an essential factor for the growth of SDPB services. In this context, the travel behavior of young people is particularly interesting, as its development will continually demonstrate future mobility behavior trends. However, little research has been conducted regarding the best methods for motivating young people to accept SDPBs as a viable mode of travel.
To address this topic, we first conducted a literature review, identifying factors that potentially influence SDPB acceptance. Subsequently, we developed a comprehensive research model based on the life-oriented approach and the technology acceptance model. This conceptualization was validated by a survey of 268 SDPB riders in real-world traffic. The results reveal several novel factors influencing the acceptance of SDPBs, in particular regarding differences in age. Our research contributes to existing research on both the life-oriented and travel behavior approaches by highlighting age differences and their importance in the field. For instance, our findings demonstrate a vital need to account for age differences when deriving policy implications for future mobility solutions.

As paragens de autocarros nos dias de hoje tem de estar cada vez mais ao serviço dos utentes, esta dissertação explora as ideias fundamentais sobre o que deve ser uma paragem de autocarro inteligente, reunindo num texto os conceitos mais utilizados e as mais recentes tecnologias sobre este tópico. Os fundamentos do que é uma paragem de autocarro inteligente são explorados, bem como a arquitetura de todo o sistema, não só a paragem propriamente dita. Ao analisar a bibliografia já existentes compreende-se que a paragem de autocarro não é uma entidade totalmente independente, pois esta está dependente de informação vinda de variadíssimas fontes.
Assim sendo, a paragem de autocarro inteligente será um subsistema de um sistema muito mais complexo, composto pela própria paragem, pelo autocarro e por uma central. Em que a comunicação flui entre estes de forma a manter toda a informação do sistema atualizada em tempo real.
O autocarro recolherá informação, como quantos passageiros tem abordo e a sua localização geográfica por exemplo. A central receberá toda a informação de todos os autocarros existentes assim como de todas as paragens de autocarro existentes. Por sua vez a paragem de autocarro, recolherá dados também, tais como quantas pessoas estão na paragem, temperatura, humidade, emissões de dióxido de carbono, ruido, entre outros.
A paragem de autocarro deverá contar com um conjunto de interfaces de comunicação, tais como Bluetooth e/ou NFC, hi-fi e RFID ou Beacons, para que possam ser feitas comunicações com os utilizadores, com os autocarros e com a central. Deverá ter também ecrãs interativos que poderão ser acedidos usando gestos e/ou toque e/ou voz para que se possam efetuar as ações pretendidas. A informação não será apenas transmitida nos ecrãs interativos, será transmitida também através de som. A informação contida na paragem pode ser de todo o tipo, desde as rotas, horários, posição atual do próximo autocarro, assim como o número do mesmo, publicidade animada, etc.
A paragem conta também com outras funcionalidades como conectores onde se possam carregar dispositivos móveis, aquecimento, iluminação controlada face à afluência de utilizadores e horário, um sistema de armazenamento de energia pois deverá contar com fontes de energia renováveis para que possa ser o mais autossustentável possível, e obviamente câmeras de vigilância para segurança dos utilizadores.
Sendo o principal objetivo deste trabalho, o desenvolvimento de um algoritmo capaz de contar quantas pessoas se encontram na paragem de autocarro, através do processamento das imagens vindas de várias câmaras, o foco principal é explorar as tecnologias de visão computacional e como estas podem ser utilizadas dentro do conceito da paragem de autocarro inteligente.
Uma vez que o mundo da visão computacional evoluiu muito nos últimos anos e as suas aplicações são quase ilimitadas, dai a sua implementação nas mais diversas áreas, como reconstrução de cenários, deteção de eventos, monitorização de vídeo, reconhecimento de objetos, estimativa de movimento, restauração de imagem, etc. Ao combinar os diferentes algoritmos das diferentes aplicações, podem ser criadas ferramentas mais poderosas. Assim sendo o algoritmo desenvolvido utiliza redes neuronais convulsionais para detetar todas as pessoas de uma imagem, devolvendo uma região de interesse. Essa região de interesse é processada em busca de caras e caso estas existam essa informação é guardada no perfil da pessoa. Isto é possível através da utilização de reconhecimento facial, que utiliza um algoritmo de Deep Learning (DL). Essa região de interesse também é convertida para uma escala de cinzentos e posteriormente para uma matriz, essa matriz será também guardada no perfil do utilizador. Está informação é necessária para que se possa treinar um modelo que utiliza algoritmos de aprendizagem de máquina (Support Vector Machine - SVM).
Os algoritmos de DL e SVM são necessários para que se possa fazer a identificação dos utilizadores a cada imagem e para que se possa cruzar os vários perfis vindos das várias origens, para que possa eliminar os perfis repetidos. Com isto a mesma pessoa é contada as vezes que apareça nas imagens, em função do número de câmeras existentes na paragem. Assim sendo é preciso eliminar essas repetições de forma a ter um número de pessoas correto.
Num ambiente controlado o algoritmo proposto tem uma taxa de sucesso elevada, praticamente sem falhas, mas quando testado no ambiente para o qual foi desenhado já não é bem assim, ou porque numa paragem de autocarro as pessoas estão em contante movimento ou porque ficam na frente umas das outras e não é possível visualizá-las a todas. Mesmo com muitas câmeras colocadas no local, acabam sempre por haver pontos mortos, devido à estrutura da paragem ou até mesmo devido ao meio, por exemplo árvores ou um carro mal-estacionado, etc.Bus stops nowadays have to be increasingly at the user’s service, this thesis explores the fundamentals ideas of what a Smart Bus Stop should be and bring all together into one concept using today’s technologies. Although the fundamentals of a Smart Bus Stop (SBS) are explored, the primary focus here is to explore computer vision technology and how they can be used inside the Smart Bus Stop concept. The world of computer vision has evolved a lot in recent years and its applications are almost limitless, so they have been incorporated into many different areas like scene reconstruction, event detection, video tracking, object recognition, motion estimation, image restoration, etc. When combining the different algorithms of the different applications more powerful tools can be created. This work uses a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) based algorithm to detect people in a multi video feeds. It also counts the number of persons in the SBS, using facial recognition, using with Deep Learning algorithm, and Support Vector Machine algorithm. It is important to stress, these last two are used to keep track of the user and also to remove the repeated profiles gathered in the different video sources, since the SBS is in a multi-camera environment. Combining these technologies was possible to count how many people were in the SBS. In laboratory the propose algorithm presents an extremely high success rate, when applied to real bus stops que success rate decreases due to blind spots for instance.

The research goal of this study is to explore the factors influencing the intention to pay for smartwatches. The present study proposes a framework based on theory of reasoned action (TRA) from the perspectives of software (interface convenience and perceived content), hardware (perceived infrastructure), design (design aesthetics) and perceived value (emotional value, price/value for money, performance/quality value, and social value). A web survey was conducted, and data were collected from a total of 489 users of smartwatches in Taiwan. The casual model was validated using partial least squares (PLS) techniques. The results indicated that the influence of the factors on the intention of purchasing Apple Watch and other smartwatches were not significantly different. This study contributes to a theoretical understanding of the factors that promote and pay for smartwatches. The proposed framework can be used by smartwatch manufacturers to design the products and marketing strategies. The primary value of this paper lies in providing a better understanding of users’ concerns about smartwatch adoption.

Texto completoResumen
With the passage of the American with Disabilities Act (ADA) it has become a civil
rights violation to deny access to persons with disabilities to public transportation. The
ADA requires transit agencies to provide accessible buses or equivalent services to
persons with mobility, sensory or cognitive impairments. This study examines issues
concerning persons with sensory and cognitive impairments, and their access to fixed
route transit services.
The goal of this report is: to specify operating guidelines, suggest technological
changes, offer operating policy and training programs modifications that solve problems
of transit access for persons with sensory and cognitive impairments. To determine
where the access problems exist in fixed route transit systems, an examination was
undertaken of existing technologies and programs that are in use by transit agencies in
North America.
Upon review of the available literature it was noted that there were available
technologies and policies for persons with visual and hearing impairments, however,
little appeared to be available for persons with cognitive impairments. To fill in this
knowledge gap, surveys and interviews were conducted with persons with cognitive and
other impairments, persons who trained persons with sensory and cognitive
impairments, and persons who provide transportation services.
A major conclusion of this study is that for persons with cognitive impairments,
technological solutions are not the answer to increase bus accessibility. Personal
interaction is needed to solve each individual circumstance with the transit user.
Training for transit personnel is needed so personnel become aware and more sensitive
to the needs of all transit users. Training for the transit user is necessary so use of the
transit system is accomplished with grace, speed, efficiency and dignity. Training for
the trainers of persons with disabilities is necessary so transit travelers will be
informed of all the available services the transit agencies are offering. Another
conclusion is visual signage must be standardized to be effective. This includes
location, lighting, contrast, and content.Graduation date: 1993

As the increase of elder population, it turns problems about the society of aging. In this research, the researcher through understanding the effects in using products about the elders` physiological changes and designing products to meet their needs with the concepts of Universal Design. The purpose of this research is to define problems of older people in using seats in a bus station, and to provide designers with seating design guidelines. Firstly, an observation was carried out to discover problems and requirements for recess and seating in older peoples` daily journey. Secondly, case study was conducted by tracing the journey of four older people. Research findings include: (1)Older people spent more than half of the time for recess in their daily journey. (2)Sitting was the main manner in taking a rest among older people. (3)Difficulties were found in sitting down and especially in standing up cause by weaken muscle strength. (4)The user did not usually lean against the backrest. (5)Older people would deposit their bags while taking a rest but with safety concern. The main function of the seat in a bus station is to provide users with brief recess. Although a proper support of the body weight is required, to diminish the difficulties of sitting down on and standing up from the seat is proved to be significant. Base on the research findings and related references, guidelines for seat design at bus stations was established as follows: (1)The range of seating height for the average design is 660-714 mm, and, for the extreme individuals is 606-655mm. A high-sitting seat consumes less energy when users sit down on and stand up from it. (2)The range of seating depth is 200-300(+B) mm. (B is the buffer distance between the bottom and the backboard.) (3)The height of the armrest is set from 208 to 223 mm. It would facilitate the movements of sitting down to and standing up from the seat, in addition, would share the burden of shoulder bags. (4)The height of the backrest set from 312 to 325mm. It is not essential to set a backrest unless there is a security concern.

In this study, the risk of particulate PAHs to human health at the bus express lane station in Taipei city was assessed and investigated. The standard method - NIEA A102.12A was used to collect samples at the bus express lane, road top bus stop and the campus background station 180 m away from the road. A high-volume sampler and a micro orifice uniform deposit impactor (MOUDI) were used to collect samples during the four periods on each weekday and weekend in different seasons. The samples were analyzed by GC/MS to identify and quantify 36 PAHs. The questionnaire survey was conducted on bus users as well to carry out the carcinogenic risk assessment of 16 priority pollutants declared by USEPA. For the 16 PAHs, their particulate concentrations are the highest at bus express lane but the lowest in the background station. Experimental results indicate that concentrations are higher on weekdays than weekends and higher in winter than summer. The average concentration of the indicator PAH – BaP is 1.04 ng/m3 at express lane, 0.25 ng/m3 at road top bus stop and 0.13 ng/m3 at the background station. High PAHs concentration and proportion of high-molecular-weight PAHs caused by the traffic flow was easily observed on rush hour. According to the ratio of the summed 16 PAHs concentration in winter to that in summer at different sampling points, the seasonal difference was observed at regions with pollution source. Based on the result of carcinogenic risk assessment, bus express lane station is regarded as the high risk area. Rt, risk per unit exposure time, was introduced in this study to determine the risk of PAHs. Rt value was estimated to be 5.36 at bus express lane, 2.22 at road top bus stop and 0.82 at background station. The major source of particulate PAHs at bus express lane was found to be bus exhaust at idle speed by PCA and linear regression analysis. The high contribution of buses at idle speed to particulate PAHs at bus express lane was observed by PCA and linear regression analysis. 84% of carcinogenic PAHs were observed to exist as particles smaller than 1 mm. Based on the experimental results in this study, carcinogenic particulate PAHs from bus exhaust at idle speed make adverse effects on the public health. Therefore, to control bus emissions at idle speed is worth being paid high attention.

For the recent years, the phenomenon of increasing elderly population combining with few generating is obvious. In a conventional understanding, only elderly people need long-term care. Taiwan government has already promoted the long-term care system in the past; however, just few information related to the long-term care system was received by general population. In the modern society, which has advanced technology of medical treatment, all disable people belonging to elderly population group is no longer existing. More medical care resource is needed by increasing disable people. From the statistics of disable population in the past decades, we could find the disable population percentage of younger ages increases by years, and so does the percentage of disable leaded by illness. In this circumstance, if we have an appropriate business insurance of long-term care, the less pressure and better quality of living will then be assured. In general, people in Taiwan do not own a good concept or understanding on business long-term care insurance. The resulting consequence is that higher expense, deeper pressure, and heavier burden on people needed care and their relatives. Currently, long-term care from government is conditionally granted, which will make the care not only inappropriate but also insufficient. So, in order to understand the actual situation and the related expense difference from the grant of government, an interview with private long-term care enterprise is also activated and included in the thesis. Eventually, business insurance will be a good supplement to the insufficiency of long-term care provided by government. Based on the social market demand, business long-term care insurance has been a product and has been promoted in recent years; however, the marketing share is still lower than estimation. By questionnaire survey, this thesis provides a study on the recognization of long-term institutional care and intention to buy long-term care insurance. The result of analysis shows that people generally have the concept of long-term institutional care; however, they just know a little on the detail of payment from long-term institutional care and less than 30% visited people have the intention to buy long-term care insurance. For the government side, this thesis recommends: reinforce the promotion of the importance of long-term care, and provide a complete scheme for long-term care allowance. For insurance company, this thesis provides the suggestions: reinforce the promotion of the importance of long-term care insurance, diversify the payment, and provide a scheme with well balance of encomy and insurance fee. Last but not the least, this thesis aims to help improve current long-term care system, raise the intention to buy long-care insurance, lower the society costs, and be the reference and direction for the following researchers.

As Taiwan gradually moves toward a hyper-aged society, there has been an increase in the number of elderly people with disabilities per year. The demand for transportation of the elderly with disabilities has also increased gradually. The Rehab-bus is the best transportation that meets the transportation needs of the physical and mental disability people. However, the demand is greater than the supply over a long period of time, resulting in frequent customer complaints and a low service quality. Based on the Taichung Rehab-bus service, the purpose of this study is to provide the perspectives of service design. Finding out problems of the Door-to-door service system for persons with disabilities to establish a practical reference for the shuttle service design. According to the service design process, this study is employed in a three-step process. The first stage is the service exploration and definition. First, the study identified the current service process through the shadowing method and employed in-depth interviews with twenty-five involved stakeholder to understand their pain points. Then through the Service Gap Model, the study identified 12 key service gaps and 4 major services problems. The second stage is the service design development. Through the “Stakeholder Consensus Conference”, this study confirmed the value proposition, proposing new service design concepts for customers, service providers, and service managers to create new service design prototypes. The final stage is the new service prototype evaluation. The three new service designs were evaluated by the Kano model. Finally, valid questionnaires were collected, including 41 customers, 100 service providers, 18 service managers, and the heuristic evaluation of five experts, bringing the implementation priorities for the development of new service design. The findings of this study reveal: (1) There are 4 key service issues in the existing Rehab-bus service which include "inappropriate tools," "unsatisfactory communication," "unclear division of labor," and "unmet policies demand." (2) The "Intervention in the Information System" and the "Establishment of Standardized Service" of the shuttle bus service for elderly people with disability have positive impacts on customer satisfaction. (3) Exploring the shuttle service for the elderly with disabilities through service design thinking has a positive influence on the public sector of the service.

Due to the decreasing birth rate and gradual aging of the Taiwanese society, the elderly accounts for an increasingly large percentage of the overall population. It is thus necessary to gain more understanding on the factors that influence the sense of well-being for middle-aged and older people. To date, few researches have provide in-depth analyses on the correlation between income, positive and negative monetary property, and the assessment of psychological well-being in relation to discrepancy in expected and actual amount of monetary property. Therefore, this study intends to construct a structural equation model to manifest the interrelationship between all the above mentioned factors. The research is a cross-sectional survey, using Psychological Well-being Scale (PWS), Money Attitude Scale (MAS), International Personality Item Pool (IPIP) for data collection. The data were analyzed with descriptive statistics, t-test, and structural equation modeling. The study results indicate that middle-aged people gain significantly higher sense of psychological well-being through environmental mastery compared to people in older age, while earning significantly higher monthly income. Middle-aged people also have significantly lower level of negative money attitude than older people, although middle-aged people actually earn lower than they have expected, in contrast to older people who earn more than expected. On the other hand, middle-aged people have income higher than their expected deposit level whereas this is again the opposite for the order people. There are no significant differences between the two groups regarding positive money attitude, the extraversion, and the level of conscientiousness. The structural equation model on psychological well-being proposed by this study shows excellent fitness. It indicates that a person with a higher level of extraversion tend to have a higher level of positive money attitude. A higher level of positive money attitude further lead to a higher income level, which indicates a smaller discrepancy in expected and actual of monetary property. With these comes a sense of psychological well-being. On the other hand, Individuals with a lower level of conscientiousness tend to have a higher level of negative money attitude. They tend to view money as a symbol of power or prestige, while showing a doubtful, wishy-washy attitude toward the use of money, and are anxious about being in poverty. A higher level of negative money attitude would not only directly result in a larger gap of expected and actual monetary property but also acts through the income as the intervening variable, which results in a lower income and thus a further gap between expected and actually earned money. These collectively lead to a low sense of well-being. This study also proves that the discrepancy between expected and actual amount of monetary property could translate directly into psychological well-being, namely that while well-being cannot be bought as an immediate commodity with cash, it is influenced by the discrepancy between expected and actual monetary property. Finally, personality cultivation and monetary expectancy of an individual can influence the development of the sense of psychological well-being.
