Where are the children? Que son les enfants devenus: Healing the legacy of the residential schools l'experince des pensionnats autochtones
No full textThe Legacy of Hope Foundation was established to address the long-term implications of the damage done to Aboriginal children and their families by many of the residential schools. The psychological wounds run deep and have infected new generations. Healing is a gradual process that will demand time and patience.
A primary objective of our work is to promote awareness among the Canadian public about residential schools and try to help them to understand the ripple effect those schools have had on Aboriginal life. But equally important, we want to bring about reconciliation between Aboriginal people and non-Aboriginal Canadians.Not peer reviewedbookLegacy of Hop
Governance of future urban mobility: a research agenda
No full textQuestions about how to plan and govern for future urban mobility are reaching a critical point as Australian cities are faced with disruption to transport and urban systems arising from new forms of shared mobility services and the rise of autonomous vehicles. An industry engagement workshop, drawing on the insights of participants from public and private sectors of the industry, articulated a large array of complex and interrelated questions highlighting the uncertainty and scarcity of knowledge. These questions are grouped into three key themes concerning how implementation may take place, what the impacts of the uptake of these emerging transport technologies may be and how to understand them. The resultant research agenda is vast and one of multi-complexity by space, time and institutionally
A Productive Response to Legacy Systems
No full textRequirements change. The requirements of a legacy information system change, often
in unanticipated ways, and at a more rapid pace than the rate at which the information
system itself can be evolved to support them. The capabilities of a legacy system
progressively fall further and further behind their evolving requirements, in a degrading
process termed petrification. As systems petrify, they deliver diminishing business
value, hamper business effectiveness, and drain organisational resources.
To address legacy systems, the first challenge is to understand how to shed their
resistance to tracking requirements change. The second challenge is to ensure that a
newly adaptable system never again petrifies into a change resistant legacy system. This
thesis addresses both challenges.
The approach outlined herein is underpinned by an agile migration process - termed
Productive Migration - that homes in upon the specific causes of petrification within
each particular legacy system and provides guidance upon how to address them. That
guidance comes in part from a personalised catalogue of petrifying patterns, which
capture recurring themes underlying petrification. These steer us to the problems
actually present in a given legacy system, and lead us to suitable antidote productive
patterns via which we can deal with those problems one by one.
To prevent newly adaptable systems from again degrading into legacy systems, we
appeal to a follow-on process, termed Productive Evolution, which embraces and keeps
pace with change rather than resisting and falling behind it. Productive Evolution
teaches us to be vigilant against signs of system petrification and helps us to nip them in
the bud. The aim is to nurture systems that remain supportive of the business, that are
adaptable in step with ongoing requirements change, and that continue to retain their
value as significant business assets
Planning the driverless city
No full textAV technologies have the potential to transform urban landscapes and existing transport systems and networks. Yet, the utopian imaginary of reduced automobile ownership and a new shared economic future sits in tension with suggestions that car dependency, urban sprawl and transport inaccessibility will be exacerbated. The issues are situated in a complex governance landscape involving an influential private sector who are increasingly setting the agenda. The public sector may be forced into reacting to the new innovations by information technology and automobile companies as they are introduced into existing built environments. Drawing on an extensive literature base and interviews with public sector planners, this paper reveals the conceptual gaps in the framing of AV technology – the prospects and limits – and how these are conceived. The paper raises questions about the role urban planning can play in the rollout of AVs in order to anticipate and mediate unwanted built environment and socio-spatial impacts, as well as reconciling the ambition of transport innovation with the public purpose of planning
Planning for disruptive transport technologies: how prepared are Australian transport agencies?
No full textIn Australia, corporations are playing an increasing role in the shaping of urban regions through their ability to mobilize capital to support large infrastructure projects and to usurp institutional planning roles which have traditionally been the responsibility of public-sector agencies. The chapter outlines emerging evidence of changes in the roles of corporations in generating ideas and mobilizing political support for their favoured city-shaping projects, and shows that the private sector is embedded in the processes of government, such as planning, in increasingly complex ways. Through ‘market-led’ or ‘unsolicited’ proposal evaluation frameworks, corporations can now bring proposals to political leaders in ways which go outside traditional planning processes and bypass conventional engagement with civil society.In this context, we present data from a recent survey of planners in state and national land-use and transport agencies. The survey, conducted through semi-structured interviews, gathered information about the expectations of these organizations in relation to the nature and timing of the deployment of new AV technologies; about the potential implications for achieving environmental and social planning objectives; and about the collective infrastructure investments that AV technologies may require. This work is being used to shape a new research agenda to explore the planning and regulatory frameworks that are needed to ensure that the AV technologies can be deployed in ways that maximize the public good.<br/
Governance of the London 2012 Olympic Games legacy
No full text© The Author(s) 2011. This is the author's accepted manuscript. The final published article is available from the link below.This study addresses the governance of the London 2012 Olympics legacy. It presents legacy not as a retrospective but a prospective concept concerned with shaping the future through interactions between the state, market and society. This entails designing systems of governance to guide and steer collective actions towards a consensus amongst various parties concerned. Four modes of governance and a range of policy instruments were examined in the delivery of sustainable London Olympics sport legacy including coercive, voluntarism, targeting and framework regulation. The British government actively created a new policy space and promoted institutional conduct consistent with its legacy visions. The current global legacy framework is lacking the governance dimension and its logic needs to be reconsidered. A meaningful sport legacy requires not top-down approaches but locally informed strategies supported by a developmental design of the Olympic Games informed by sustainable principles
Challenges for Government as Facilitator and Umpire of Innovation in Urban Transport: The View from Australia
No full textAbstract
New economies based on emerging technologies for shared mobility and autonomous vehicles will shape future urban transport systems, but their potential impacts are uncertain. Internationally, government agencies face difficult challenges to effectively plan and regulate the deployment of these technologies for the common good, whilst simultaneously encouraging innovation. Being both a facilitator and an umpire is not an easy task. This chapter draws on a series of interviews with public and private-sector actors in urban transport in Australia. Unsurprisingly, all private-sector respondents had significant concerns for the sustainability of their business in the emerging mobility markets, but it was generally acknowledged that without government support and partnership, a lack of structure and clarity could lead to natural monopolies with negative consequences for competition and the public good. Strong and clear government regulation is seen to be necessary to allow the sector to reach its maximum potential and have positive ramifications for both the public and the private good – outcome not always seen as compatible. Public-sector interviewees generally recognised that much of the necessary innovation was being shaped by the market, and that there had been a considerable loss of skills over decades from the state because of neo-liberal policies. So, some doubted the ability of the state to shape developments using currently available planning and public policy methods and feared that it would be difficult to regulate emergent markets to prevent monopolies emerging. On the other hand, some argued that many firms are looking to government for frameworks in which businesses can operate successfully by setting conditions in which risks could be managed. This chapter discusses these issues, seeking to guide research agendas and to foster further debate. The evidence gained from these in-depth interviews helps focus attention on which forms of regulation might be required by industry. It also raises questions about the capacity of government agencies to effectively manage these complex transitions

Author literary legacy: Definition and elements
No full textThis paper seeks to construct a definition of the author literary legacy, as well as of the elements that make it up from the opinions expressed by writers, journalists, managers and university professors and also of the existing literature, within the framework of the doctoral thesis ongoing "Author Literary Foundations: Cultural Management and Literature. Proposal of a model of relationship based on the study of the Literary Foundations of the Province of Cadiz ".
First, literary legacy is defined and then aspects of interest such as the literary archive, the bibliography about the author, the private library, the intellectual property, the physical places and objects associated with memory are expanded. Finally a synthesis proposal is made for its definition
Etzanoa legacy collection
No full textPresented to the 20th Annual Symposium on Graduate Research and Scholarly Projects (GRASP) held at the Rhatigan Student Center, Wichita State University, April 26, 2024.Research completed in the Department of Anthropology, Fairmount College of Liberal Arts & Sciences.Archaeology is not only recovering physical objects from past societies but recording the process of their excavation and preserving the objects, their provenience, and the site's context. Etzanoa (14CO3) is ancestral Wichita site classified as part of the Great Bend aspect located in modern day Arkansas City. One of the most important tasks in the study of Etzanoa is to ensure the preservation of artifacts and the other associated materials from the excavation. Collections like this are known as legacy collections. Legacy collections contain a plethora of data that can be used to construct spatial and temporal sequences. Many archaeological collections suffer from being poorly organized and poor documentation. This project looks to proactively document and organize such materials for future researchers. First in this project is to collect relevant archival documents and assess missing contextual and documentary evidence. Oral history can then be used to supplement any missing information. Considerations for long-term preservation, such as digitization and open-access approaches will be considered. These steps must be taken in order to make this collection viable for future research.Graduate School, Academic Affairs, University Librarie
