With over 25.4 million refugees globally, the highest number in history, countries are forced to change how they respond to this crisis. In most cases, housing refugees in temporary camps is not sustainable over a long, and a majority of the global refugees end up living in urban areas. Since cities are starting to play an essential role in welcoming this new population, it is imperative for the planning field to understand how the built environment impacts refugee integration. Successful integration into host society is not the sole responsibility of a refugee but rather a process that involves both the refugee and the host community. This thesis investigates factors that affect refugee integration and examines how they play out spatially on a local scale through a case study of the Roxbury neighborhood in Boston, Massachusetts. The research analysis and case study affirm the influence of place in the refugee experience of community and belonging. Just as displacement is a place-based trauma, refugee resettlement must be approached as a place-based intervention. This thesis highlights the role of planners by outlining the spatial implications of successful integration in addition to introducing a multidisciplinary approach that can empower refugees to not only successfully integrate but to have agency in their new homes.by Azka Mohyuddin.M.C.P.M.C.P.

Case study of LDA
No full textThis electronic version was submitted by the student author. The certified thesis is available in the Institute Archives and Special Collections.Thesis: M.C.P., Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Department of Urban Studies and Planning, 2019Cataloged from student-submitted PDF version of thesis.Includes bibliographical references (pages 71-73).City development authorities are one of the key institutions in urban development and planning in South Asian cities. Pakistan and India share a history and have experienced the similar trend of Town Improvement Trusts established by the British transforming into Development Authorities. Both these forms of institutions had a similar mandate --to improve the living standards in the city through planned development. Development authorities, in particular, were envisioned to undertake comprehensive and integrated master planning in the face of rapid urbanization that its predecessor failed to do so because of its institutional set up as a Trust. In this thesis, I focus on one such urban development institution in Lahore, Pakistan, namely the Lahore Development Authority (LDA) which has come under immense criticism in recent years. In order to understand the urban sprawl of Lahore and the complementary planned development, one needs to understand the institutions that are propelling this form of urban planning. I aim to understand the unequal development in Lahore through the lens of an institutional framework.The premise of my analysis is that even though the forms of institutions that come about and the way they evolve over time are influenced by the broader political and economic trends, it is the urban development institutions that dictate what kind of policies under its purview are produced, hence affecting the urban form. I argue that LDA was a continuation of the Lahore Improvement Trust in many ways, with a supposedly more comprehensive approach to planning, and it faced similar challenges as its predecessor and failed to achieve one of the objectives this parallel institutional structure set out to achieve: providing housing for the low-income groups. In my analysis, I highlight the role of legislation and political influence on LDA's operations. Political leadership and influence differentiate it from LIT and it can be its greatest strength if it is leveraged in the right way.In order to understand LDA's challenges and how these can be overcome, I analyse the following in this thesis: 1) why was LDA established and to what extent it was a continuation of its predecessor 2) how has LDA's policies evolved over the years and why, and 3) what are the challenges to cater to low income population for LDA and what are the ways in which it can achieve them?by Azka Shoaib.M.C.P.M.C.P.

No full textThis paper contains the search for the meaning of buying and selling verses contained in Qs. al-Baqarah verse 41 and the context of its use in the Qur’an according to the mufassir's perspective, as well as the perspective of KH. Muhammad Arwani, in an effort to find answers to the assumptions of some people regarding the production of Kh-Q drinking water by PT. Buya Barokah is under the auspices of the Arwaniyyah Foundation Business Entity which is temporarily viewed by some as an act of trading verses. The author uses the maudhui thematic method as a whole verse and the interview method with zurriyyah (Family) and related people as well as observations to collect data and analyze it in order to find answers that can be accounted for. in this case the author uses analytica l descriptive method. The results of the study show that there is no element of searching for something worldly from selling Kh-Q and not like what is contained in Qs. al-Baqarah verse 41, so the author does not find any relevance between Kh-Q products and KH. Muhammad Arwani’s testament regarding the prohibition of trading verses based on Qs. al-Baqarah verse 41

No full textThe Concept of the Meaning of Uff in the al-Qur'an: Application of Roland Barthes’ Semiotic Theory of Al-Isra Verse 23
No full textThis paper discusses the concept of Birru al-Walidain in the Qur’an, especially in Qs. al-Isra 'verse 23 which seems to be ignored nowadays, of course, Birru al-Walidain here is related to actions, especially words to parents. In the study of semiotics, the word uff is a symbol in the delivery of speech that must be interpreted. One of the semiotic theories developed by scholars is Roland Barthes' semiotics because Barthes uses structural analysis in textual criticism. In his theory, Barthes offers two stages of theory. First, it is referred to as a linguistic system or commonly known as denotative meaning. Second, it is called a mythological system commonly known as connotative meaning. More details. The linguistic system is textual reading and the mythological system is contextual reading. It is certain that the concept of Birru al-Walidainin the Qur'an is very relevant to Barthes' theory, even to other contemporary problems today. Then, the author will apply Barthes' semiotic theory to understand the concept of Birru al-Walidainin the Qur’an. The results of the application of the theory in Q.S al-Isra verse 23, namely: the linguistic system in the word uff which is not only interpreted as "ah" but also a prohibition not to speak harshly to parents. While the mythological system is that a child is required to serve his parents by loving them both. The ideology contained in this verse is related to morals, not only to parents, but also to older people
“ANALISIS TINGKAT RISIKO DARI SISI NASABAH PADA PRODUK DEPOSITO DI PERBANKAN SYARIAH DAN PERBANKAN KONVENSIONAL DENGAN METODE VALUE AT RISK” : Suatu kasus pada Bank Syariah Mandiri dan Bank Mandiri periode 2011 - 2013
No full textPertumbuhan dana pihak ketiga yang mengalami penurunan (tahun 2011 – 2013) sangat dipengaruhi oleh nasabah. Nasabah yang berperan sebagai investor tidak hanya mempertimbangkan tingkat keuntungan yang diharapkan dari instrumen investasinya saja, namun juga tingkat risiko. Instrumen investasi dalam bidang keuangan yang paling diminati nasabah adalah deposito. Saat ini, apabila dilihat dari mekanisme pengembalian keuntungannya, deposito terbagi dua yaitu deposito mudharabah yang menggunakan mekanisme bagi hasil. Dan deposito yang menggunakan sistem bunga.
Penulis mencoba menganalisis tingkat risiko dari sisi nasabah pada deposito dengan metode Value at Risk (VaR) pendekatan varian-covarian . VaR adalah metode pengukuran risiko untuk mengetahui kerugian maksimal yang dapat terjadi pada periode waktu tertentu dan pada tingkat kepercayaan tertentu.
Hasilnya menunjukan pada periode 2011-2013 rata-rata nilai VaR (mean) dan VaR (zero) deposito mudharabah di perbankan syariah lebih tinggi dari deposito di perbankan konvensional. Hal tersebut artinya pada periode 2011-2013 dengan tingkat kepercayaan 95% nasabah akan memperoleh kemungkinan kerugian yang lebih apabila berinvestasi pada deposito mudharabah daripada berinvestasi pada deposito berjangka di bank konvensional.
Pengelolaan risiko yang lebih baik pada bank akan meningkatkan minat masyarakat untuk berinvestasi pada bank. Peningkatan kesadaran ini penting untuk meningkatkan asset yang dimiliki oleh bank untuk kemudian dapat meningkatkan kinerja bank dalam menyalurkan dananya. Meningkatnya kinerja bank, pada akhirnya akan berdampak pada peningkatan keuntungan pada bank.

The growth of third party funds decreased (years 2011-2013) strongly influenced by the customer. Customers who acted as investors not only consider the profitability of investment instruments, but also the level of risk. Investment instruments in the financial field is the most desirable customer deposits. Currently, profits from the repayments, the deposit is two deposit mudharabah that use profit sharing mechanism. And deposits which uses a system of interest.
The author tries to analyze the risk level of the customer on deposit with the method of Value at Risk (VaR) approach to variance-covariance. VaR is the risk measurement methods to determine the maximum loss that can occur in a certain time period and at a certain confidence level.
The results are shown in the 2011-2013 period the average value of VaR (mean) and VaR (zero) Mudharabah deposits in Islamic banking is higher than deposits in conventional banks. It means that in the period 2011-2013 with a confidence level of 95% of customers will obtain more possible losses when investing in Mudharabah deposits rather than investing in time deposits in conventional banks.
Better risk management of the bank will increase the interest of people to invest in banks. Increased awareness is important to increase the assets held by the bank to then be able to improve the performance of banks in disbursing funds. Increased performance of the bank, will ultimately have an impact on the increase in the bank's profits.
