The complex business applications are increasingly offered as services over the Internet, so-called software-as-a-Service (SaaS) applications. The SAP Netweaver Cloud offers an OSGI-based open platform, which enables multi-tenant SaaS applications to run in the cloud. A multi-tenant SaaS application is designed so that an application instance is used by several customers and their users. As different customers have different requirements for functionality and quality of the application, the application instance must be configurable. Therefore, it must be able to add new configurations into a multi-tenant SaaS application at run-time. In this thesis, we proposed concepts of a configuration management, which are used for managing and creating client configurations of cloud applications. The concepts are implemented in a tool that is based on Eclipse and extended feature models. In addition, we evaluate our concepts and the applicability of the developed solution in the SAP Netwaver Cloud by using a cloud application as a concrete case example.

日人領台後，以母國利益為最高統治方針，積極從事殖民地治理，為獲取殖民地資源與利益，在台從事資本主義化經濟發展。領台之初，首先宣佈維持台人私有土地權利，承認原有交易舊慣，並以律令排除日本民事不動產法在台實施，建立私有地權制度。1898年9月，後藤開始進行土地調查事業，劃分公、私所有權；收買大租權，將複雜地權關係，轉變為單一性土地所有權，建立現代性地權制度，成果非常豐碩，對台灣發展甚具貢獻。1910年後開始辦理之林野調查事業，因未經詳細籌備規劃，加上經費人力不足，草率進行調查，致成果有限，由於林野調查時土地產權歸屬之查定不當，引發地權爭議，延續至今仍未解決。 1905年首創土地登記制，以土地調查時申報手續及所製作之地籍圖冊，視同完成土地總登記程續，頒布「台灣土地登記規則」，規定業主權、典權、胎權、贌耕權之得喪變更，非經登記，不生效力，此期屬強制登記時期。1922年受到內地延長主義統治方針影響，決定從1923年起，日本內地民法、不動產登記法在台實施，改採任意登記制，規定不動產物權之取得、設定、移轉變更，只要當事人間書面契約簽定後，即生物權變動效力，但登記則可對抗第三人。另外，允准祭祀公業繼續存在，得為土地登記之主體，讓祭祀公業土地續存下來。 台灣總督府獎勵資本主義化經濟發展的結果，導致地權分配不均，形成小佃農大地主結構，租佃制度盛行，更由於租佃關係惡化，引發農民運動，要求政府從事地權改革，但因受台共份子滲透，導致被嚴厲鎮壓，台灣農民運動因而終止。 1945年日本宣布無條件投降，台灣改由國民政府接收，接收時，保留土地私有制度，承認台人原有土地權利，但排除日人於外，將日人及官有土地，一律收歸國有。將土地登記制度加以變更，由任意登記制改為強制登記制。經土地清理之後，就著手租佃制度改善，實施三七五減租，保護佃農權利，將租佃關係徹底改良，然後再推行耕者有其田，扶持自耕農，對日人所留不良地權重新調整分配，戰後地權改革成功，具有時代重要意義，對台灣爾後發展有所貢獻。 本文以歷史研究法，透過對地權制度變遷之考察，探析台灣地權制度形成與變遷之要因，進而掌握日治時期地權制度之主要面貌。研究發現整個制度之變遷，是緩慢逐漸進行，非遽然大改變；整個制度的變遷屬強制性，由台灣總督府主導推動，引進日本近代化地權概念與現代性民事法，對台灣舊地權制度進行改革，這種具現代化地權制度與法規，對當期經濟有所裨益，更對台灣百年來發展具深遠意義。 / After the Japanese rule in Taiwan, safeguard national interests of Japan ruled Taiwan as the highest policy and actively engaged in colonial governance. To obtain the resources and interests of the colonial, capitalist engaged in Taiwan's economic development. When Japan began to rule in Taiwan, was first announced to maintain private ownership of land rights to the people of Taiwan and recognize the original trading habits. Civil law and real estate law to exclude Japan in Taiwan to implement the establishment of private land rights system. September 1898, after the vines begin investigating the cause of the land, dividing the public and private ownership; buying large rental rights, the complex relationship between land ownership, land ownership into a unity, establishing a modern system of land ownership, the results are very fruitful, Taiwan development of a great contribution. Because of the investigative career of forest land which implementation at 1910 years. Owing without detailed plan and lack of funding on the procession. Cause had a bad result, It have lead to land ownership disputes, continues to this day remains unresolved. In 1905 the first land registration system in order when the land survey reporting procedures and the production of cadastral atlas, deemed to have satisfied the total land registration procedures, promulgated Taiwan land registration rules require owners the right to have funeral lien rights, fetal rights, farming rights change, and by the registration, not take effect, this is a mandatory registration period. 1922 by the mainland to extend the principle of domination influence decisions from 1923 onwards, the Japanese mainland civil law, real estate registration law implemented in Taiwan, shift to any registration system, made of real property provisions, setting migration changes, as long as between the parties in writing after the contract was signed, that the effect of changes in biological rights, but may be registered against a third party. In addition, the public sector continues to exist authorized worship, was the subject of registration of land for public sector land ritual survives. Results of the Taiwan Governor award capitalist economic development, resulting in uneven distribution of land ownership, structure formation sharecroppers Squires, tenancy system prevailed, but due to the deterioration of the tenancy relationship, causing the peasant movement, asked the Government to engage in land tenure reform, but because by the Taiwan Communist infiltration, resulting in back harsh repression, Taiwan peasant Movement terminated‧ Japan's unconditional surrender in 1945, Taiwan changed files received by the national government, to retain private land ownership receive, recognize Taiwan original land rights, but the Japanese are excluded, the Japanese and the Crown all the land, should be nationalized . To change the land registration system by any registration system to a mandatory registration system. After the land is cleared, proceed tenancy system and land ownership reform, the implementation of rent reduction, protection of the rights of tenants, the tenancy relationship completely modified, then the implementation of land to the tiller, to support farmers, bad for the Japanese left re-adjust the distribution of land ownership, land rights reform postwar success, the era of great significance for the future development of Taiwan's major contribution.

Homeownership is widely advocated and believed to contribute towards economic activity, employment, wealth creation, economic, political, and neighbourhood stability and financial independence. Despite government’s interventions to advance homeownership there is currently a declining trend in homeownership and an increase in renting experienced in South Africa. As the government does not have the resources to provide adequate housing to all South Africans, identifying the factors which attribute to non-subsidised homeownership will assist in implementing interventions and strategies to increase access to non-subsidised homeownership and reduce reliance on government subsidised housing. The main objective of this study was to determine the comparative odds of variables contributing to non-subsidised homeownership in South Africa from secondary data obtained from a South African household survey. Compared to the heuristic model, the following variables were found to align closely with the expectation created; non-subsidised homeownership attainment was most likely for households within high-income groups and least for households within the low-income groups, more likely for households who have access to credit than those without, more likely for households with no accounts in arrears than those with accounts in arrears, more likely for households with an ability to save than those without, most likely for households consisting of seven or more household members and least likely for single member households, most likely for households where FKP (Financially Knowledgeable Person) has completed a tertiary education level and least likely for households with primary not completed education levels, most likely for households where the FKP is older (aged 65 and older) and least likely for young FKP households (aged between 18 and 24), most likely for households residing in rural areas and least likely for households residing in metropolitan areas, most likely for female FKP households and least likely for male FKP households. Unexpectedly the regression model indicated that non-subsidised homeownership is most likely for households where the Financially Knowledgeable Person (FKP) is not economically active (for example pensioners) and least likely for employed households, most likely for households from the African population group and least likely for Indian households, most likely where the FKP is never married or single and least likely for separated or divorced FKP households (which is expected) and most likely for households residing in Limpopo (which is expected) and least likely for households residing Western Cape. / Financial accounting / M.

Au cours des dernières décennies, les fournisseurs de services (SP) ont eu à gérer plusieurs générations de technologies redéfinissant les réseaux et nécessitant de nouveaux modèles économiques. Cette évolution continue du réseau offre au SP l'opportunité d'innover en matière de nouveaux services tout en réduisant les coûts et en limitant sa dépendance auprès des équipementiers. L'émergence récente du paradigme de la virtualisation modifie profondément les méthodes de gestion des services réseau. Ces derniers évoluent vers l'intégration d'une capacité « à la demande » dont la particularité consiste à permettre aux clients du SP de pouvoir les déployer et les gérer de manière autonome et optimale. Pour offrir une telle souplesse de fonctionnement, le SP doit pouvoir s'appuyer sur une plateforme de gestion permettant un contrôle dynamique et programmable du réseau. Nous montrons dans cette thèse qu'une telle plate-forme peut être fournie grâce à la technologie SDN (Software-Defined Networking). Nous proposons dans un premier temps une caractérisation de la classe de services réseau à la demande. Les contraintes de gestion les plus faibles que ces services doivent satisfaire sont identifiées et intégrées à un modèle abstrait de leur cycle de vie. Celui-ci détermine deux vues faiblement couplées, l'une spécifique au client et l'autre au SP. Ce cycle de vie est complété par un modèle de données qui en précise chacune des étapes. L'architecture SDN ne prend pas en charge toutes les étapes du cycle de vie précédent. Nous introduisons un Framework original qui encapsule le contrôleur SDN, et permet la gestion de toutes les étapes du cycle de vie. Ce Framework est organisé autour d'un orchestrateur de services et d'un orchestrateur de ressources communiquant via une interface interne. L'exemple du VPN MPLS sert de fil conducteur pour illustrer notre approche. Un PoC basé sur le contrôleur OpenDaylight ciblant les parties principales du Framework est proposé.Nous proposons de valoriser notre Framework en introduisant un modèle original de contrôle appelé BYOC (Bring Your Own Control) qui formalise, selon différentes modalités, la capacité d'externaliser un service à la demande par la délégation d'une partie de son contrôle à un tiers externe. Un service externalisé à la demande est structurée en une partie client et une partie SP. Cette dernière expose à la partie client des API qui permettent de demander l'exécution des actions induites par les différentes étapes du cycle de vie. Nous illustrons notre approche par l'ouverture d'une API BYOC sécurisée basée sur XMPP. La nature asynchrone de ce protocole ainsi que ses fonctions de sécurité natives facilitent l'externalisation du contrôle dans un environnement SDN multi-tenant. Nous illustrons la faisabilité de notre approche par l¿exemple du service IPS (système de prévention d'intrusion) décliné en BYOC. / Over the past decades, Service Providers (SPs) have been crossed through several generations of technologies redefining networks and requiring new business models. The ongoing network transformation brings the opportunity for service innovation while reducing costs and mitigating the locking of suppliers. Digitalization and recent virtualization are changing the service management methods, traditional network services are shifting towards new on-demand network services. These ones allow customers to deploy and manage their services independently and optimally through a well-defined interface opened to the SP¿s platform. To offer this freedom to its customers, the SP must be able to rely on a dynamic and programmable network control platform. We argue in this thesis that this platform can be provided by Software-Defined Networking (SDN) technology.We first characterize the perimeter of this class of new services. We identify the weakest management constraints that such services should meet and we integrate them in an abstract model structuring their lifecycle. This one involves two loosely coupled views, one specific to the customer and the other one to the SP. This double-sided service lifecycle is finally refined with a data model completing each of its steps.The SDN architecture does not support all stages of the previous lifecycle. We extend it through an original Framework allowing the management of all the steps identified in the lifecycle. This Framework is organized around a service orchestrator and a resource orchestrator communicating via an internal interface. Its implementation requires an encapsulation of the SDN controller. The example of the MPLS VPN serves as a guideline to illustrate our approach. A PoC based on the OpenDaylight controller targeting the main parts of the Framework is proposed. We propose to value our Framework by introducing a new and original control model called BYOC (Bring Your Own Control) which formalizes, according to various modalities, the capability of outsourcing an on-demand service by the delegation of part of its control to an external third party. An outsourced on-demand service is divided into a customer part and an SP one. The latter exposes to the former APIs which allow requesting the execution of the actions involved in the different steps of the lifecycle. We present an XMPP-based Northbound Interface (NBI) allowing opening up a secured BYOC-enabled API. The asynchronous nature of this protocol together with its integrated security functions, eases the outsourcing of control into a multi-tenant SDN framework. We illustrate the feasibility of our approach through a BYOC-based Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) service example.

The fact that there is a housing shortage in Stockholm is discussed regularly in the media today. Stockholm municipality owns about 70 percent of all land in the municipality and in the role as landowner, the municipality has the opportunity to influence where and what, within the municipality, there is to be built. In this paper, we have looked at the Norra Djurgårdsstaden project, Norra 2 and discovered that there are significant differences in how the city provides land for condominiums and tenancy apartments. We have in particular looked at how the land allocation and the pricing of the land have been made. In Stockholm municipality's land allocation policy from 2015 the municipality specifies four ways to grant land through land allocation. This policy also specifies the city that the tenancy apartments to have granted on leasehold. In this study we have looked at the differences and problems that can occur when tenancy apartments are granted the leasehold in a central location as Norra Djurgårdsstaden. Further on this paper discuss Stockholm municipality's new proposals on ground rents and what potential consequences for the construction of rental apartments in central Stockholm this proposal could have. We also discuss whether it is appropriate to grant leasehold rights for tenancy apartments in this kind of location in the city with the current rent setting system. Finally the paper brings up options for future applications that could allow different forms of tenure to compete for land in a more market oriented way. / Faktumet att det råder bostadsbrist i Stockholm diskuteras med jämna mellanrum i media idag. Stockholms stad äger cirka 70 procent av all mark inom kommunen och i rollen som markägare har staden möjlighet att påverka vad och var inom kommunen det ska byggas. I denna uppsats har vi tittat på projektet Norra Djurgårdsstaden, Norra 2 och upptäckt att det finns väsentliga skillnader i hur staden upplåter mark för bostadsrättslägenheter respektive hyresrättslägenheter. Vi har framförallt tittat på själva markanvisningen och hur prissättningen av marken har gått till. I Stockholms stads markanvisningspolicy från 2015 anger staden fyra olika sätt att upplåta mark genom markanvisning. I denna policy anger också staden att hyresrättslägenheter ska få upplåtas på tomträtt. I den här undersökningen har vi tittat på de skillnader och problem som kan uppstå när hyresrätter upplåts på tomträtt i ett central läge som Norra Djurgårdsstaden. Vidare i arbetet behandlas även Stockholms stads nya förslag om tomträttsavgälder och vad detta förslag kan få för eventuella konsekvenser för byggandet av hyresrättslägenheter i centrala Stockholm. Vi diskuterar också om det är lämpligt att upplåta tomträtter för hyresrättslägenheter i denna typ av läge i staden med det nuvarande hyressättningssytemet. Slutligen tar arbetet upp alternativ till framtida tillämpningar som skulle kunna möjliggöra olika upplåtelseformer att konkurrera om mark på ett mera marknadsmässigt sätt.

This thesis examined the evolution and transition of agrarian labour relations in the aftermath of Zimbabwe‘s radical land redistribution, which reconfigured the agrarian structure in terms of landholdings, production practices and labour markets from 2000. Despite the importance of agrarian labour as source of livelihood for the largely countryside based population, insufficient academic attention has been paid to its evolution following the land reforms. Specifically, the issues overlooked relate to the mobilisation, organisation and utilisation of wage and non-wage labour against background of the changed land ownership patterns, agrarian policies and macroeconomic conditions. Historical-structural approaches rooted in Marxist Political Economy informed the analysis of the new agrarian labour relations since in former Settler colonies such as Zimbabwe these were based on a historical context of specific land-labour utilisation relations created by land dispossession and discriminatory agrarian policies during the colonial and immediate independence period. Beyond this, gender issues, intrahousehold relations, kinship, citizenship and the agency of the workers were taken into account to understand the trajectory of labour relations. Detailed quantitative and qualitative empirical research in Goromonzi and Kwekwe districts, as well as from other sources demonstrated that a new agrarian labour regime had evolved to replace the predominant wage labour in former large-scale commercial farms. There has been a growth in the use of self-employed family farm labour alongside the differentiated use of wage labour in farming and other non-farm activities. Inequitable gender and generational tendencies were evident in the new agrarian labour regime. The new labour relations are marked by the exploitation of farm workers through wages that are below the cost of social reproduction, insecure forms of employment and poor working conditions, while their individual and collective worker agency is yet to reverse their poor socio-economic conditions. Various policy interventions to protect their land and labour rights are thus required. The study shed light on the conceptual understanding of agrarian labour relations in former Settler economies, including the role of land reforms in the development of employment, and how the peasantry with enlarged land access are reconstituted through repeasantisation and semi-proletarianisation processes. / Public Administration and Management / D.

Heirs' property is generated through the intergenerational transfer of a property to several co-owners when the original owner dies without a will. Such co-owners hold undivided fractional interest in the entire land but lack a clear title. Co-owners face several legal, financial, and technical constraints to manage the forestlands and often seek partition of the land. However, the legal environment and empirical assessment of partition actions on forestlands owned as heirs' property has not been examined. This thesis evaluates statutory laws relevant to forestland partition and the factors instrumental in adjudicating partition lawsuits. The findings reveal that partition lawsuits are primarily adjudicated using common law rather than statutory law. The magnitude of co-owners' fractional interest, the income withheld from forestlands, and the presence of absentee co-owners favor partition claimants. The study results have implications for heirs' property owners, legal entities and personnel, and policymakers.

Bostadsbristen är ett allvarligt problem i Sverige och bostadsmarknaden är långt ifrån välfungerande. År 2015 bedömde Boverket att 183 av landets 290 kommuner hade ett underskott på bostäder. 80 kommuner tyckte sig ha en balans mellan bostadssökande och antalet lediga bostäder medan resterande 27 kommuner fann ett överskott på bostäder. Att tilläga är att 82 procent av befolkningen bor i de 183 kommuner som berörs av underskott.Den förra regeringen anser att om vi bättre nyttjar de redan befintliga bostäderna och skapar ett flexibelt utbud av lägenheter genom andrahandsupplåtelse samt gör outnyttjade bostäder tillgängliga på marknaden kan man hjälpa många människor som söker bostad.Syftet med denna uppsats är att utreda, analysera och diskutera varför bedömningen gällande de skäl som krävs för tillstånd till andrahandsuthyrning skiljer sig åt mellan de två nyttjanderättsformerna, bostadsrätt och hyresrätt. Även klargöra vilka skäl som lagstiftare anser vara tillräckliga vid en tillståndsprövning gällande andrahandsupplåtelse. När utredning av eventuella skillnader i skäl för upplåtelse i andra hand är klar besvaras och diskuteras följande frågeställning: Varför är BRLs regler generösare än hyreslagens regler?I uppsatsen undersöks olika bestämmelser för att få en djupare insikt i gällande rätt. Förarbeten, rättspraxis och doktrin har legat till grund för tolkning av lagar och för att ge läsaren förståelse för den praktiska tillämpningen av valda lagrum.Av det insamlade materialet har det framkommit, att det i första hand är den enskilda bostadsrättsföreningen eller hyresvärden som beslutar vilka skäl som anses tillräckliga för tillstånd till en andrahandsupplåtelse. Reglerna i BRL är generösare än motsvarande regler i hyreslagen då bostadsrättshavaren inte behöver åberopa samma tyngd i sina skäl för uthyrningen som en förstahandshyresgäst. Detta på grund av det ekonomiska intresse och uppbundna kapital som bostadsrättshavaren har i sin bostad vilket en förstahandshyresgäst saknar. Det är enligt oss anledningar till varför BRLs syn på godtagbara skäl är generösare än motsvarande regler i hyreslagen. / The housing shortage is a serious problem in Sweden and the housing market is ineffective and greatly hampered. In 2015 the national board of housing, building and planning in Sweden named Boverket, estimated that 183 of the country’s 290 municipalities had a shortage of housing. 80 of the municipalities showed a balance between housing applicants and the number of vacant homes, while remaining 27 municipalities showed a surplus of housing. Important to note is that 82 percent of the population reside in the municipalities affected by the shortage.The previous government believes that by better utilizing existing dwellings and creating a flexible supply of apartments by sublease as well as making unused homes available to the market they can help a lot of people in their search for a home.The purpose of this essay is to investigate, analyze and discuss why there are differences between two forms of tenancies, owner-occupied apartments and rental units, with respect to the reasons thought to be sufficient in the assessment of obtaining permission to sublease. After clarifying differences regarding reasons for sublease, the following question is answered: Why is the law concerning owner-occupied apartments more generous than the law regarding rental units?Various regulations are examined in the essay to create a deeper understanding of the law. Travaux préparatoires, case law and jurisprudence has formed the basis for the interpretation of the statutes and to provide the reader with a deeper understanding of the practical use of selected section of the law.The collected material has illustrated that it is primarily the individual co-operative housing association or landlord who decides what reasons are sufficient to permit a sublease. The rules considering owner-occupied apartments are more generous than the corresponding law for rental units, since the owner of a co-operative apartment does not need to invoke the same substance in their reasons for renting as primary tenant because of their financial interest which a tenant lacks. According to us this is the main reason why the view on acceptable grounds for sublease regarding owner-occupied apartments are more generous than the corresponding laws applied on rental units.

Thesis (LLD)--Stellenbosch University, 2012 / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Over the years sectional ownership satisfied the psychological need of many South Africans to acquire home-ownership and it is currently estimated that there are more than 780 000 sectional title units throughout South Africa. The concept of sectional ownership consists of three elements, namely individual ownership of a section (residential or commercial); joint ownership of the common parts of the sectional title scheme and membership of the body corporate which governs the sectional title community. Sectional ownership is therefore a unique statutory institution with its own characteristics. An imperative of every sectional title scheme is to strive for financial stability, happiness and harmony in an intensified, diverse community where the objects of ownership, the individual units, are physically interdependent. The Sectional Titles Act 95 of 1986, as amended, therefore imposes numerous financial and social obligations on sectional owners. These obligations require each owner to give up a certain degree of freedom that he might otherwise enjoy in separate, privately owned property. Ultimately the success of a sectional title scheme will depend upon the necessary co-operation and support of its members for compliance with these obligations. Since non-compliance can destroy the financial stability and social harmony in a sectional title scheme, effective procedures for the enforcement of these financial and social obligations are essential. Accordingly, effective sanctions are a sine qua non for a financially viable and socially successful sectional title scheme. This thesis provides a critical analysis of the various financial and social obligations that are imposed on sectional owners, as well as the measures available for their enforcement. It will become evident that the sanctions in the South African sectional title legislation for non-compliance with these obligations are conspicuously few and far between. It is generally accepted that the Sectional Titles Act 95 of 1986 does not have sharp enough „teeth‟ to deal effectively with the non-compliance of these obligations. Consequently, the thesis will also focus on sanctions that are used in foreign jurisdictions to enforce sectional owners‟ financial and social obligations, with the aim to identify sanctions that may be adopted in the South African context to render the enforcement of these obligations more efficient and effective. In conclusion it will be recommended that the only manner in which financial stability and social harmony can be restored in a troubled sectional title scheme is to introduce legislation which allows the body corporate as a last resort to exclude a persistent offender who makes it impossible for the other sectional owners to share the sectional owners‟ community with him or her temporarily from this community. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Met die verloop van tyd sedert die eerste deeltitelwetgewing in 1971 in Suid Afrika ingevoer is, het deeleiendom die droom van menige Suid-Afrikaners verwesenlik om eiendomsreg van „n eie woning te verkry. Huidige statistieke dui daarop dat daar meer as 780 000 deeltiteleenhede in Suid Afrika is. Drie elemente word in die begrip „deeleiendom‟ saamgevat, naamlik individuele eiendomsreg van „n deel (residensiëel of kommersiëel), mede-eindomsreg van die gemeenskaplike gedeeltes van „n skema en lidmaatskap van „n regspersoon. Deeleiendom is dus „n unieke statutêre instelling met sy eie ongewone karaktertrekke. Die belangrikste doelwit van elke deeltitelskema is om finansiële stabiliteit, geluk en harmonie in „n geϊntensifeerde, diverse gemeenskap waar individuele eiendomseenhede, fisies interafhanklik is, te bewerkstellig. Die Wet op Deeltitels 95 van 1986, soos gewysig, onderwerp deeleienaars daarom aan verskeie finansiële en sosiale verpligtinge wat meebring dat elke deeleienaar „n sekere mate van vryheid moet prys gee wat hy andersins sou geniet het as hy eienaar was van „n huis op „n private erf. Die uiteindelike sukses van „n deeltitelskema is grotendeels afhanklik van die samewerking en ondersteuning van sy lede wat betref die nakoming van hierdie verpligtinge. Omdat nie-nakoming die finansiële stabiliteit en sosiale harmonie kan versteur word doeltreffende maatreëls vereis vir die afdwinging van hierdie finansiële en sosiale verpligtinge. „n Deeltitelskema kan slegs met sukses bestuur word indien op doeltreffende sanksies gesteun kan word. Hierdie tesis fokus op „n kritiese analise van die verskeie finansiële en sosiale verpligtinge waaraan deeleienaars onderhewig is, en die maatreëls wat aangewend kan word om hierdie verpligtinge af te dwing. Daar sal aangetoon word dat die sanksies in die Suid-Afrikaanse deeltitelwetgewing vir die nie-nakoming van hierdie verpligtinge gans te min, en boonop uiters ondoeltreffend is. Daarom word algemeen aanvaar dat die „tande‟ van die Wet op Deeltitels 95 van 1986 nie skerp genoeg is om die nie-nakoming van hierdie verpligtinge doeltreffend te straf nie. Gevolglik sal die tesis ook fokus op sanksies wat in buitelandse regstelsels aangewend word om die finansiële en sosiale verpligtinge van deeleienaars af te dwing. Die oogmerk hiermee is om buitelandse sanksies te identifiseer wat met vrug in die Suid-Afrikaanse konteks aangewend kan word ten einde die nie-nakoming van hierdie verpligtinge doeltreffend hok te slaan. Ter afsluiting sal voorgestel word dat finansiële stabiliteit en sosiale harmonie in „n erg ontwrigte deeltitelskema slegs herstel kan word indien wetgewing aangeneem word wat die regspersoon toelaat om „n deeleienaar wat ondanks waarskuwings dit vir mede-deeleienaars onmoontlik maak om saam met hom of haar in dieselfde deeleiendomsgemeenskap te leef tydelik van die skema te verwyder.
