Workplace Strategies And Facilities Management: Building In Value, Rick Best, Craig Langston, Gerard De Valence
Workplace Strategies And Facilities Management: Building In Value, Rick Best, Craig Langston, Gerard De Valence
Craig Langston
This book provides comprehensive coverage of issues that facility managers in the property industry need to understand and apply in the pursuit of value for money over the life span of built facilities. The authors introduce the fast-growing discipline of facility management, examine the core competencies that facility managers should possess and study different contemporary drivers of change. The book emphasises the need to consider facilities management issues at the pre-design stage of the construction process, rather than only when the building is completed, in order to maximise value for money.
Inner-Urban Sustainability: A Case Study Of The South Brisbane Peninsula, Daniel O'Hare
Inner-Urban Sustainability: A Case Study Of The South Brisbane Peninsula, Daniel O'Hare
Daniel O'Hare
The combination of elements and conditions in inner-urban areas may be argued to constitute established patterns of urban sustainability. This paper develops the argument through a case study of the South Brisbane peninsula, one of Queensland’s oldest and densest inner-urban areas. For the purposes of the paper, urban sustainability is defined in the context of urban design and development. This definition highlights the interrelationship between urban form and structure, and the social and economic life of the city. The paper argues that South Brisbane demonstrates significant characteristics of ‘triple bottom line’ environmental, social and economic sustainability in a subtropical inner-urban …
Sustainable Economies In Master Planned Communities, P. Wales
Sustainable Economies In Master Planned Communities, P. Wales
Ned Wales
The intent of this paper is to discuss the principles for forming industrial ecologies in master planned communities. There is a growing need for both land developers; government agencies and the construction industry to encourage a holistic approach toward newly constructed communities rather than creating bedroom dormitories where typically greater reliance on resources and emissions of green house gases occurs. The paper proposes a framework to understand how all of the aspects of sustainable local economies can compete in current global economic dynamics, which can over ride local economic potential.
It is evident as a society we need to make …
The Sanctuary Of Apollo Hypoakraios And Imperial Athens, Peter Nulton
The Sanctuary Of Apollo Hypoakraios And Imperial Athens, Peter Nulton
Peter E. Nulton Ph.D.
The Cave Sanctuary of Apollo on the North Slope of the Acropolis at Athens was investigated in 1896-97 and produced a rich collection of inscriptions relating to the cult. These inscriptions are published in full for the first time in this work. The author discusses the history of the cult. Far from being of great antiquity as readers of Euripides' "Ion" have long assumed, the cult was instituted in the time of Augustus when "The Athenians thought it fitting that their archons swear an oath that upheld tradition in connection to Apollo Patroos, but simultaneously honored their 'new Apollo'", the …
Collaborative Teaching In Planning Education: Benefits And Issues, Bhishna Bajracharya, Shahed Khan
Collaborative Teaching In Planning Education: Benefits And Issues, Bhishna Bajracharya, Shahed Khan
Bhishna Bajracharya
Extract:
Extensive planning literature exists supporting the need for collaborative planning (Healey, 1998; Innes and Booher, 1999; Margerum 2002) to bring stakeholders together to resolve planning issues and to enhance deliberative learning. This idea of enhanced learning through collaboration in the professional context has also been extended to planning education. Collaboration in the class room or a teaching context not only seeks to increase teaching effectiveness but also to capture other benefits accruing to various participants in the collaboration. Studies on collaborative teaching/learning indicate that students gain more by ¯ collaborative learning than from traditional individual learning approaches because social …
