Skilled worker immigrants can encounter many challenges as they settle in Canada. For individuals facing adversity, hope often helps in facing and overcoming difficulties (Edey & Jevne, 2003). The purpose of this study was to explore how the hope of skilled worker immigrants changed during their settlement process. Basic qualitative research (Merriam, 2009) informed the study design. Based on thematic analysis of interviews with four skilled worker immigrants, four meta-themes, referred to as phases, emerged. The findings are represented by these four broad phases, the last phase of which has two alternatives: (1) Arriving with High Hopes and Expectations, (2) Experiences Challenge Hope, (3) Crossroads: Hope or Hopelessness, and (4A) Getting Stuck in Anger and Sadness or (4B) Choosing Hope and Finding Strength. All participants regained their hope, which appeared closely related to their successful settlement and functioning. The implications of this research for counselling and policy are discussed. / Counselling Psychology

In October 1869, the fledgling Canadian federation was preparing for the transfer of Rupert's Land and the Northwestern Territory when the Métis set up a Provisional Government in order to resist what they saw as a unilateral annexation of their homeland. Although there were multiple references made to 'republicanism' during the Resistance, no scholar has ever explored whether republican conventions were actually present in political discourse in the District of Assiniboia prior to the Resistance and whether they were effectively activated during the Resistance. Working from the Cambridge School approach of discourse analysis, this thesis first identifies the conventions of democratic rhetorical republicanism, which includes positive and negative liberty, the rule of law, the mixed and balanced constitution and citizenship, which in turn involves virtue, the militia and real property. It then looks at the gradual introduction in Assiniboia of republican discourse from multiple sources, including the United States, Lower Canada, Upper Canada, Ireland, France and Great Britain and its circulation throughout several practical political struggles during the period from 1835 to 1869. In doing so, it shows that certain 'organic intellectuals' acted as 'transmission belts' of republican conventions and that institutional structures were a factor that rendered the activation of such conventions almost inevitable. By the time the Resistance took place in 1869, a more or less fully developed republican paradigm formed part of the linguistic matrix and was available to political actors in Assiniboia. Finally, the thesis shows that republican discourse was effectively mobilised by identifying fragments of republican conventions that were harnessed in various speechacts during the Resistance. It is argued that republican language was fundamental to the success of the ideological and political manoeuvres of the leaders of the Resistance as it was particularly effective both as an instrument of anti-colonialism and as a pragmatic ideal of self-government that sought to correct the iniquities of colonial government.

Because of dam construction, currently there are 25,000,000 migrants in China, and until 2020, Chinese government will be built as much as 9 Three Gorges dams, but the resettlement compensation was never satisfied migrants benefit over the past 50 years. My thesis is looks at this particular phenomenon and proposed new resettlement model for the future that is to take advantages of water level change in the specific area and create new resettlement policy as an opportunity to change people’s life. Through Chinese resettlement history and case study to understand the resettlement situation in China. Choice a future dam location, to solve the problems, at first, I try to redesign dam but it maybe not the best way, then I focus on the drawdown zone which is one of the most important issues of dam construction, I want to take advantage of water level change to think new resettlement model. The strategy was considered about the effect in social, cultural, economic and ecological ways. Respect the original environment and creates a new resettlement model. My project goal is to contribute to reduce settlement, minimize erosion, make a productive drawdown zone but still keep the reservoir capacity, the method is to balance cut and fill land. To achieve this, I analyze the typology in the site, the first type is rural area and another is city area, I take different strategy for different category, the design method is use the water level change and land available time to utilize the land in range. he main strategy is: built a road following the high water level as a structure to reorganize resettlement around road, then manipulate topography to reserved villages and vegetation in range, also plant with fluctuation add new activities make a more productive drawdown zone, create wetland system for water treatment. / published_or_final_version / Architecture / Master / Master of Landscape Architecture

After 1949, the massive urbanization take place in many traditional and new cities in new China, as one of the most unique cities in China, Beijing experiences the unprecedented development in last few decades, the thesis project starts from the general research on urbanization of Beijing to lead to the key phenomenon during the process - resettlement. The research on a series of resettlement housing projects throughout the history of Beijing from 1949 is an essential part to understand the evolution of the resettlement housing strategy in Beijing. Based on the design methodology of different projects and the various analysis of the resettlement housing strategy from different researchers, this thesis project tries to summarize the characteristics of the resettlement projects in different area, and to find out the changing trend of the typical resettlement projects. The research is not only focused on the building design and spacing, but also concentrated on open spaces, public facilities and all elements that impact on the relationships of neighborhoods. On the other hand, the resettlement that spontaneously happened in the traditional residential area is also an important part of resettlement in Beijing. The different between the government conducted resettlement housing project and the spontaneous resettlement phenomenon produce the different way of neighborhood communication, therefore the thesis also focuses on how the traditional building and street shape the neighborhoods communications and its differences with the new resettlement housing. With the constant urbanization, the massive resettlement is still happening in Beijing today, and the government is introducing more large scale resettlement projects in these years, the Dongcheng-Chaoyang cooperative resettlement plan is a large resettlement planning of center-area population evacuation, which plans to evacuate 10,000 people to Chaoyang district per year from 2011 to 2020. The thesis project plan to propose a new strategy in one part of Dingfuzhuang resettlement site in connection with the main issues of previous research, which to restructure a new type of neighborhood experimentally. / published_or_final_version / Architecture / Master / Master of Landscape Architecture
