By using computerized in this system, has advantages such as speed of obtaining information, data storage, process calculations as well as making statements in accordance with company expectations
Meaningful Circular Metabolism
No full textThe main products of this graduation are a new pattern language to map difficult/technical interventions in spatial tiles, a GIS model for assessing urban metabolism potentials and restrictions and a new approach for applying urban metabolism measurements on neighbourhood level. A personal motivation for me is the relation between the urban metabolism analysis and the impact it has on the urban design. Important questions are ‘where in the city should the urban designer or planner do something?’ and ‘how big does the intervention need to be?’ Often these questions are not addressed properly related to the theory of urban metabolism. The spatial component is often lacking and therefore the impact of urban metabolism on urban design is not well established. This graduation project focuses on bridging that gap. The testcase for this project is the city of Amsterdam.Amsterdam wants to be one of the frontier cities in the subject of circularity. This ambition is shown by the reports the city of Amsterdam has made. However it stays unclear how the analysis and the interventions relate to the context of Amsterdam. Where in the city would which measurements be implemented? And how that would change the city, how would it look? This leads to the research question: What is the spatial impact of the meaningful sustainable measurements, for key urban flows, which create a more circular city of Amsterdam? The studied flows in this graduation project are electricity, heat, drink water and phosphate. The project creates an inventory of twelve spatial intervention in creating circularity for the flows. The inventory contains the 1) spatial requirements and 2) theoretical potential. Based on the spatial requirements an allocation tool is created. This GIS based model for assessing urban metabolism potentials and restrictions is one of the outcomes of this graduation project. This model is not only an analytical step towards the urban design, but an outcome in itself. However the goal of the graduation project was to see what is the spatial impact of urban metabolism. For this a location was chosen based partially on the GIS model. For this location spatial exploration is made The exploration shows the possible potential of each measurement and their spatial impact. By comparing all the possible interventions we get a design brief for the location. Then a more in depth design experiment is made for an area in Slotervaart. This to see how the design can not only be a technical solution but also add to the urban quality. The design zoom-in contains 3 elements which can be replicated in the area of Slotervaart in similar areas. These elements are 1) a housing block with row housing, 2) housing block with high density housing, 3) neighbourhood nutrient hub. The design impressions show how the elements look, work together and add value to the site. Showing the relation between how much the interventions solve and their spatial impact. This shows the real spatial impact of the interventions related to the potential circularity. The used process is a new approach for applying urban metabolism measurements on neighbourhood level.Architecture and The Built EnvironmentUrbanis
The influence of national competition policy in reshaping human service delivery
Get PDFThis thesis sets out to look at the influence of Australia’s National Competition Policy reform in reshaping human services. In trying to understand this influence, the research explores the main threads of National Competition Policy – including concepts of contestable markets, Competitive Neutrality and Competitive Tendering and Contracting. It also notes the dominance of neoclassical economics and public choice theories underpinning the framing of this reform.
More specifically, the work tracks down the way in which National Competition Policy is impacting on human service delivery through using particular contractual arrangements with non-government providers in a bid to foster value for money through competition and market choice arrangements. This part of the research rests on two case studies, an employment assistance service (Labour Market Programs) known as Job Network and a crisis accommodation service (Supported Accommodation Assistance Program - SAAP). Through them the thesis explores and locates the parameters and the terms under which federal and state funding is accessed and the new organisational arrangements which regulate the terms of client treatment and the scope of professional practice.
In theoretical terms, the thesis draws on mainly a governmentality literature to illuminate the emerging modes of neo-liberal governance, particular attention is given to patterns of self regulation and the conditions governing distant actors

A decision-making framework for planning lifecycle ballast water treatment compliance
No full textThis paper introduces a novel decision-making framework for planning lifecycle compliance of ballast water treatment by applying eigenvalue spectral analysisto the ship-centric Markov decision process (SC-MDP) framework. This method focuses on identifying the relationships of various decision making scenarios, and how those relationships change through time. The objective is to understand both these relationships and the impact of initial technology selection on lifecycle ballast water compliance. Two metrics are used. First, the optimal lifecycle strategy is presented for technology selection. Second,the set of dominant eigenvalues is used as a metric to identify the number of unique, initial condition dependent design absorbing paths the process may converge to. Sensitivity studies are performed examining the affect of policy strength on preferred compliance strategy.Ship Design, Production and Operation
A ship egress analysis method using spectral Markov decision processes
No full textThis paper introduces a means of performing a ship egress analysis by applying eigenvalue analysis to the ship-centric Markov decision process (SC-MDP) framework. This method focuses on how people egress, the decisions they make under uncertainty, and the interaction between the individuals and the layout of the vessel. The objective is to understand the implications of uncertain decision making of people on general arrangement design. One metric is introduced defined as the ratio between the largest eigenvalue and the second largest. Thisdecision metric is used to identify and quantify changes in decisions, as well as to help identify system attributes driving those changes in decisions. A case study is presented showing the utility of this method on a ship egress problem. Sensitivity studies are performed examining the affect of uncertainty and rewards on individuals’ decision making behaviorShip Design, Production and Operation
