A dissertation of limited scope submitted to the Fuculty of Arts in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Postgraduate Diploma in Recreation and Tourism in the Centre for Recreation and Tourism at the University of Zululand, 2007. / The study on provision of recreation facilities at Osizweni Township, Newcastle was conducted against the background that the local community is not provided with sufficient recreation facilities, it was surprising to see that the majority of local community is not participating in recreation activities. The study was aimed at finding the level of provision of the recreation facilities in the study area. This aimed was narrowed down to the following objectives. • To establish the level of understanding and meaning of recreation as an activity in the study area • To reveal the level of awareness of the community about the provision of recreation facilities in the study area. • To indicate the participation levels of the local community in recreation activities. • To investigate the level of provision of recreation facilities in the study area • To establish the extent to which members of the community perceive the benefit arising from the availability of recreation facilities in the study area. The study hypothesised that: • That the local community have a little understanding and meaning of recreation. • That some of the local community members are aware about the provision recreation facilities in the study area and some are not aware. • That the participation level in recreation activities in the study area is low. • That the provision of recreation facilities in the study area is inadequate. • That everyone in the local community perceives the benefit arising from the availability of recreation facilities in the study area. Data was collected through the use sets of questionnaires, which had both open-ended and closed ended. After this data was collected, it was analysed through the use of computer programme, Statistical Package for the Social Science (SPSS). This programme was used to formulate frequency tables and to relate variables There were various findings that were deduces from the responses. It was discovered that the provision of recreation facilities at Osizweni community is inadequate. The inadequacy of recreation facilities in the study area has resulted to lower level of participation in recreation activities. In addition it was discovered that the local community is aware of the recreation facilities found in the study area, the problem is that the recreation facilities are not up to standard. To address the concerns of the local community various recommendations were suggested. These included provision of recreation facilities, youth development programmes, providers of recreation facilities and availability of recreation facilities as benefits. Once the local community is provided with adequacy recreation facilities, they will participate in recreation facilities and the crime level will decrease. / National Research Fund.

According to the PK-12 Public School Facility Infrastructure Fact Sheet compiled by the 21st Century School Fund in February 2011, there are over 98,706 PK-12 grade public schools and nearly 90% of the entire 55.5 million school age children in the United States attend public schools (p. 1). These school facilities and school spaces are sites of unexpected, critical incidents. Even though schools are generally a safe place for students to learn, a crisis may occur at any given time in any given location. School superintendents live through these crisis situations and must make critical decisions under extreme stress with limited time, resources, and information involving crisis situations. Leaders must share and learn from their lived experiences relating to crisis situations in order to prepare for future situations. The success and failures of leaders' past experiences provides valuable research as a future reference to help other school superintendents. In this study, a phenomenological approach was used to document the lived experiences of school superintendents that suffered a loss or damage to a school facility. The loss or damage of each school facility was the result of four separate crisis situations that occurred within a five- month time frame in the Commonwealth of Virginia. School superintendents and facility directors from these four school divisions were interviewed in order to document their perspectives of leadership in crisis. These school superintendents experienced the loss or damage of a school facility as a result of a tornado, an earthquake, or a fire. Four main themes emerged from their experiences: (a) communication, (b) leadership, (c) recovery, and (d) support. Triangulation of data sources included interviews with superintendents, interviews with facility directors, and archival data. A horizonalization code mapping procedure was used for data analysis. Two key implications for practice were identified: (a) communication and (b) relationships. Each superintendent emphasized the need for quick, accurate dissemination of information through various modes of communication. Interconnected with communication, the superintendents recognized the importance of key relationships built before, during, and after a crisis. Supportive relationships made a difference in the recovery journey for each school superintendent. / Ed. D.

Doctrine of essential facilities under Czech and European law "Essential facilities doctrine" is a term used to describe a set of rules concerned with a dominant undertaking refusing to supply a crucial resource, over which it holds an exclusive control, to its competitors who need the resource to remain in business. This thesis focuses on the doctrine's applications in the context of an abuse of a dominant position, but the role the doctrine plays in regulation of network industries is mentioned as well. The main goal of the thesis is to define conditions under which the owner of the crucial resource - described as "an essential facility" in the thesis - abuses his dominant position by refusing to supply a competitor who is willing to pay a reasonable price for such access. The method primarily used to achieve the goal is a careful analysis of primary legal sources accompanied by studies of the relevant literature. The opinions and conclusions expressed in the afore-mentioned sources are critically evaluated by the thesis's author who presents his own opinions and tries to justify them by legal arguments. Chapter One explains some specific terms used in the text. Chapter Two describes a conflict between two core principles that have to be evaluated when the rules of mandatory access are defined or...

Os objetivos específicos foram mapear as edificações beneficiadas com o serviço de manutenção preventiva, analisar o processo da contratação desse objeto, avaliar o contrato firmado e a atuação dos sujeitos da pesquisa, e examinar as práticas e rotinas adotadas pela UFPE na realização desse serviço. O referencial teórico do trabalho está fundamentado em autores das áreas de Administração, Contratação Pública, Gestão de Facilidades e Manutenção de Imóveis que versam sobre gestão de serviços operacionais terceirizados. Foi realizado um estudo de caso na Universidade Federal de Pernambuco especificamente no âmbito de manutenção predial para verificação desses serviços no Campus Joaquim Amazonas em Recife – PE. Os instrumentos de coleta de dados foram documentos, observação e aplicação de questionários com questões abertas. Foram realizadas observações nas instalações físicas de cinco centros acadêmicos e em um órgão suplementar. Os questionários foram aplicados aos Administradores de Edifícios, aos Técnicos em Edificações, ao gestor de contrato, aos fiscais de contrato e ao Representante de Empresa prestadora de serviço de manutenção predial, cujas respostas foram agrupadas nas categorias: avaliativas, conceituais, procedimentais e sugestivas. Tendo as respostas, sido registradas em planilha do Excel para melhor funcionalidade no processo da análise. Na análise os procedimentos foram a análise documental do contrato de prestação do serviço de manutenção predial no campus Recife, o inventário dos bens móveis, o relatório extraído do SIAFI constando a importância investida pela UFPE nesse tipo de serviço no ano de 2015 entre outros documentos, bem como a análise de conteúdo (BARDIN, 2009), que leva em conta o entendimento do que está por trás das palavras sobre as quais reflete. Os resultados, a inferência e a interpretação foram realizados com base nas autoridades teóricas que deram suporte ao estudo de caso. Os resultados viabilizaram a identificação de fragilidades na gestão do serviço de manutenção ao revelar insuficiência de manutenção preventiva e dos insumos necessários à realização do serviço, poucos tratos das instalações físicas dos seis imóveis escolhidos para a pesquisa, evidenciando uma inadequação entre o objeto contratado e o serviço realizado. / This work aimed at understanding the procedures of preventive maintenance services performed by subcontractors in buildings of the Federal University of Pernambuco fit the reality of the institution. The specific objectives were to map the buildings benefit from the preventive maintenance service, evaluate the building maintenance contract signed and the performance of the research subjects, analyze the process of hiring building maintenance and examine the practices and building maintenance routines. The theoretical framework is based on authors of Administration areas, Procurement, Facilities Management and Property Maintenance that deal with outsourced operational services management. We conducted a case study at the Federal University of Pernambuco, in the context of building maintenance for verification of these services on campus Joaquim Amazonas in Recife - PE .The data collection instruments were documents, observation and questionnaires with open questions. Another element was the observations in the physical facilities of five academic centers and an additional institute. Questionnaires were applied to buildings of Directors, the technicians Building, the contract manager, the contract Tax and Company representative the service provider, the answers were grouped into categories: evaluative, conceptual, procedural and suggestive, all recorded in excel sheet for better functionality in the process of analysis. The analysis procedures were documental analysis of the provision of this service agreement, the inventory of real estate, the extracted SIAFI report consisting the invested resource UFPE in building maintenance in 2015, among other documents, as well as the study of analysis content (Bardin , 2009) , which takes into account the understanding of what is behind the words on which it reflects. The results, inference and interpretation were carried out on the basis of theoretical authorities that supported the case study. The results showed weaknesses in the management of the maintenance service to prove insufficient preventive maintenance and supplies needed to complete the service, physical facilities poorly conserved of the six properties chosen for the research, showing a mismatch between the contracted object and service performed. The researcher concluded from these results to compare the responses of the questionnaires with the information in the analyzed documents and maintenance signlessness observed in the real estate selected for the research.
