Property Management, one functional area within Right-of-Way offices in state transportation agencies, is responsible for managing the property acquired for highway projects. These activities are data and document intensive and efficiency for performing them would be improved through the implementation of an information management system. Because of the geospatial nature of many of these activities, geographic information systems (GIS) would increase the effectiveness of this system. A literature review and survey were conducted to understand the current state of practice for the use of GIS and information management systems in Property Management. There is no identified comprehensive system that covers all Property Management activities. An initial step in developing a geospatially-enabled enterprise-level information management system, a logical model was developed. This included developing the business process diagram, business process models, and use case models based on the principles of systems engineering using the Computer Aided Software (CASE) Enterprise Architecture. Activities that would benefit from a geospatial component have been identified and included in the models. The developed models have been validated by working with PennDOT staff. The resulting model serves as a standard template for state transportation agencies and helps conceptualize the advantages of integration and interaction with other systems, and geospatial enablement prior to investment in an information management system. / Master of Science

Figure majeure de l’histoire des relations coloniales franco-algériennes, l’émir Abdelkader est généralement présenté par ses compatriotes comme le modèle politique, militaire et religieux du résistant au colonialisme français du 19ième siècle. L’historiographie officielle algérienne en véhicule l’image du chef religieux qui a initié al-jihad de résistance conforme aux règles exotériques de la chari’ia. Il est décrit comme un guerrier loyal et magnanime, fin stratège, dont la défaite militaire a paradoxalement marqué la fondation de l’Algérie moderne en tant que Nation et État. La construction sociopolitique postcoloniale de ce mythe a permis de légitimer les différents régimes politiques, qui se sont succédé dans l’Algérie indépendante et qui ont toujours tenu, dans le cadre d’une lecture littérale de l’Islam. Ceci dans le but de taire la dimension spirituelle d’Abdelkader disciple, héritier et commentateur de l’œuvre du magister Magnus soufi, IbnʻArabî. Fascinés dès le début de l’occupation par cet adversaire hors du commun, les français, de plus en plus sécularisés, en ont érigé une image utilitaire, l’aliénant ainsi de ses compatriotes coreligionnaires et le découplant de sa foi islamique. Les mémoires concurrentes de l’ancienne puissance coloniale et de son ex-colonie, l’Algérie, ont généré plusieurs débats contemporains en ce qui a trait à l’écriture de l’histoire de la colonisation. Le personnage d’Abdelkader a été instrumentalisé par les uns et les autres. Deux évènements controversés de sa biographie sont devenus les objets d’une polémique souvent âpre et amère entre auteurs chercheurs algériens et français : l’adhésion de l’émir à la franc-maçonnerie française et sa séparation d’avec celle-ci. Nous allons présenter que la prémisse d’auteurs algériens, selon laquelle Abdelkader n’aurait pas pu adhérer au Grand Orient de France, pour cause d’incompatibilité doctrinale musulmane, est inconsistante. Nous essayerons de démontrer au contraire, que son initiation à la maçonnerie telle qu’elle s’était présentée à lui était en accord avec sa vision soufie et légaliste du dogme islamique. En nous basant sur le choix de la franc-maçonnerie française pour la laïcité au moment de la réception supposée de l’émir dans la fraternité, nous montrerons qu’il s’en éloigna pour des raisons de doctrine islamique. En effet, l’élimination de toute référence déiste des textes constitutifs du Grand Orient de France fut inacceptable pour le musulman qu’était Abdelkader, vaincu militairement mais raffermi spirituellement par sa proximité grandissante avec son maître spirituel IbnʻArabî. L’humanisme des francs-maçons français avait motivé une refondation basée sur les droits de l’homme issus de la révolution française. Tandis que celui de l’émir Abdelkader prenait sa source dans l’Unicité de l’Être, concept-cadre Akbarien de la compréhension de la relation de Dieu avec ses créatures. Nous allons montrer que les polémiques franco-algériennes sur les relations d’Abdelkader avec la franc-maçonnerie française, masquent un autre débat de fond qui dure depuis des siècles dans le monde musulman. Un débat opposant deux herméneutiques légalistes des textes islamiques, l’une exotérique s’incarnant dans l’œuvre du théologien musulman Ibn Taymiyya et l’autre ésotérique se trouvant au cœur des écrits du mystique IbnʻArabî. / A major figure in the history of Franco-Algerian colonial relations Emir Abd-el-Kader is usually presented by his countrymen as the political, military and religious model of resistance to French colonialism in the 19th century. The official Algerian historiography conveys the image of Abd-el-Kader as the religious leader who launched a jihad resistance complying with the exoteric rules of sharî’a, loyal and magnanimous warrior, strategist, whose military defeat ironically marks the founding of modern Algeria as a nation and state. The postcolonial sociopolitical construction of this myth has helped to legitimize the different political regimes that have succeeded in independent Algeria that have under an exoteric reading of Islam, always silenced the spiritual dimension of Abd-el-Kader disciple-heir and commentator on the work of magister Magnus Sufi IbnʻArabî. Fascinated since the beginning of their colonization by this uncommon enemy the increasingly secularized French built a of Abd-el-Kader utilitarian image alienating his fellow countrymen. As this image took shape, it increasingly decoupled Abd-el-Kader from his Islamic faith. Competing memories between the former colonial power and its former colony have generated several contemporary debates in regard to writing the history of colonization. The character of Abd-el-Kader was exploited by all sides. Two controversial events of his biography have become the subject of often rough and bitter controversy between Algerian and French authors-researchers: the accession of the Amir to the French Freemasonry and his separation from it. In this thesis, we demonstrate that Algerian authors' premise that Abd-el-Kader could not have joined the Grand Orient de France because of a supposed incompatibility with Islamic doctrinal concerns is in contradiction with his initiation into Masonry as it was presented to him, when it was still in agreement with his legalistic and mystical vision of Islamic dogma. Basing our analysis careful periodization of the process of secularization of French Freemasonry during the period of the alleged reception of the Emir into the masonry, we show that he later withdrew from it for reasons of Islamic doctrine. The elimination of any deist reference in texts constituting the Grand Orient de France subsequent to Abd-el-Kader’s entrance could only make his participation eventually unacceptable as a Muslim defeated militarily but humanist spiritually strengthened by his growing proximity with his spiritual master IbnʻArabî. French Freemasonry had carried out an overhaul based on human rights stemining from the French Revolution, while Emir Abd-el-Kader is humanism had its source in the Unity of Being which is the Akbarian conceptual framework of understanding the relationship of God with its creatures. We show that Franco-Algerian controversies regarding Abd-el-Kader’s relations to French Freemasonry mask another substantive debate that has lasted for centuries in the Muslim world: that of two legalistic hermeneutics of Islamic texts, one exoteric embodied in the work of the famous Muslim theologian Ibn Taymiyya and the other at the heart of esoteric writings of the mystic IbnʻArabî.

In this thesis, the author wants to deal with the broad spectrum of the contemporary Czech architecture. However, the phrase "Czech architect" appears in the title to show that this thesis is not a critical analysis of the stylish development of Czech architecture, but rather a search for links and inspirations that define the modern architectural profession in Czech society. These links and connections are deeply rooted in architects' experiences before and after the political regime change. The author feels that the architects' understanding of today's society and political transformation will help clarify some uncertainties of their meaning and status. One can understand the modern architects and the course of the Czech chamber of architecture as well as the public sector with it's ever changing tendencies ever since 1989 if the broad spectrum of contemporary architecture is kept in perspective.

Esta dissertação trata de questões relativas à experimentação prática no processo de ensino-aprendizagem nos cursos de arquitetura e urbanismo. Com a perspectiva de contribuir com o ensino de arquitetura no Brasil, foram escolhidas para análise duas realidades: a Universidade de São Paulo, no Brasil, com foco nas disciplinas da FAUUSP em que há o desenvolvimento do espaço pedagógico do Canteiro Experimental; e nos Estados Unidos, em comunidades pobres do Alabama, com base no método de trabalho do Rural Studio, da Universidade de Auburn. O Canteiro Experimental da FAUUSP é um equipamento pedagógico e uma proposta metodológica de ensino desenvolvido nos últimos quinze anos, dentro das atividades curriculares práticas construtivas com os alunos. O Rural Studio é um projeto pedagógico formado por estudantes e professores, com metodologia de trabalho de um laboratório de ensino e extensão, que desenvolve com a comunidade beneficiada projetos e depois construções de casas e espaços coletivos para assentamentos pobres do sul dos Estados Unidos. O trabalho analisa a influência desses processos educativos na formação de um arquiteto com prática profissional direcionada à população atualmente desatendida, considerando a importância fundamental da educação na promoção de transformações sociais. Para isso, a pesquisa abordará em um primeiro momento a relação da evolução dos movimentos de moradia, das políticas públicas habitacionais no Brasil e as teorias do grupo \"Arquitetura Nova\" com as iniciativas decorrentes nas Escolas de Arquitetura como os Laboratórios de Habitação e Canteiros Experimentais. Em seguida, analisará o Canteiro Experimental da FAUUSP, procurando entender como este espaço de práticas construtivas pode ser estendido a atividades dentro de comunidades. Para, enfim, fazer uma análise do grupo americano e compreender as possíveis contribuições que podem ser incorporadas à realidade brasileira. Ao resgatar experiências inovadoras, o presente projeto visa ainda contribuir para uma necessária renovação do ensino de arquitetura no Brasil, aproximando a teoria da prática construtiva e a Universidade da comunidade. / This dissertation deals with issues of practical experimentation in the process of teaching-learning courses in architecture and urbanism. With the prospect of contributing to the teaching of architecture in Brazil, two realities were selected for analysis: the University of São Paulo, in Brazil , focusing on the disciplines of FAUUSP where the is the development of the pedagogical space at the Experimental Job Site; and the United States, in poor communities in Alabama, based on the method of work of the Rural Studio, of the Auburn University. Experimental Job Site of FAU is a teaching equipment and methodology developed in the last fifteen years within the construction practices curricular activities of students. The Rural Studio is a pedagogical project formed by students and teachers, with methodology of a laboratory for teaching and extension, which develops with the benefiting community projects and then constructs houses and collective spaces for poor settlements of the southern United States. The paper analyzes the influence of these educational processes in the formation of an architect with professional practice directed to the currently underserved population, considering the fundamental importance of education in promoting social change. Therefore, the research will focus at first on the relationship of the development of housing movements, of public housing policies in Brazil and the theories of the group \"New Architecture\" with initiatives arising in the Schools of Architecture as the Housing Laboratories and Experimental Job Site. Then examines the Experimental Job Site of FAU, trying to understand how this space of construction practices can be extended to activities within communities. To finally make an analysis of the American group and understand the possible contributions that can be incorporated to the Brazilian reality. By rescuing innovative experiences, this project aims to contribute to a necessary renewal of architectural education in Brazil, bringing the theory of constructive practice and the University of the community.

A pesquisa aborda os arranjos estabelecidos entre departamentos estatais, empresas privadas e grupos profissionais na determinação, na regulação e na execução cotidiana da política habitacional em São Paulo. Empiricamente, o trabalho focaliza as empresas de gerenciamento e consultoria - ou simplesmente gerenciadoras - que atuam como terceirizadas há pelo menos vinte e cinco anos junto à Companhia de Desenvolvimento Habitacional e Urbano - CDHU, empresa pública vinculada à Secretaria de Habitação do estado de São Paulo, desenvolvendo atividades concernentes à função gerencial, de administração e controle das etapas de concepção, viabilização, implantação e operação de programas e empreendimentos. Alocadas no amplo setor da Engenharia Consultiva, a atuação destas empresas no país ganha significativa envergadura ainda nos anos 1960, durante a ditadura militar, acompanhando a tendência de transformação do modus operandi estatal e de expansão do repasse de funções executivas do Estado para o setor privado, já então amparada na doutrina gerencialista da eficiência, da competência e da qualidade. Ao longo da tese, são discutidas questões sobre a própria ideia da função gerencial como dispositivo de gestão e como racionalidade, sua recepção e incorporação ao desenho da política habitacional brasileira e a participação das empresas consultoras nessa dinâmica, a partir de um enfoque sobre os caminhos de seu desenvolvimento no país, os agentes envolvidos, as relações políticas, institucionais, profissionais e corporativas estabelecidas, o surgimento do \"serviço especializado de gerenciamento\" como uma ramificação da Engenharia Consultiva e seu estriamento pelas estruturas públicas estatais alegadamente falidas, justificado em discurso pela inexorabilidade da terceirização. Além disso, são também problematizados o peso destas empresas na estrutura de gestão atualmente formalizada e os desdobramentos que, desde aí, implicam uma reconfiguração do campo profissional de arquitetos e urbanistas envolvidos com a questão habitacional em São Paulo nas últimas duas décadas, seus constrangimentos e potencialidades diante dos novos arranjos determinados em torno da execução da política pública. / The research deals with the arrangements established between state departments, private companies and professional groups in determining, in the regulation and execution of everyday housing policy in São Paulo. Empirically, the thesis focuses on the business and management consultancy companies that act as subcontractors for at least twenty-five years with the Companhia de Desenvolvimento Habitacional e Urbano - CDHU, linked to the Department of Housing public corporation of the state of São Paulo, administrating and controlling stages of conception, feasibility, implementation and operation of programs and projects activities. Allocated in the broad sector of Consulting Engineering, the activities of these companies in the Brazil still earns significant scale in the 1960s, during the military dictatorship, following the trend of transformation of the modus operandi of state and the expansion of transfer the executive functions of the state to the private sector, supported in the managerialist doctrine of efficiency, competence and quality. Throughout the thesis, we discuss issues about the very idea of management as a rationality device, its reception and incorporation into the form of the brazilian housing policy and the participation of consulting companies in this dynamic, from a focus on the ways of its development in the country, the agents involved, the political, institutional, corporate and professional relationships established, the emergence of the \"specialized service management\" as an offshoot of Consulting Engineering and rifling through his allegedly failed state public structures, explained in a speech by inexorability of outsourcing. Moreover, we also problematize the weight of these companies in the management structure currently formalized and the consequences that, since then, imply a reconfiguration of the field of professional architects involved with the housing issue in São Paulo in the last two decades, their constraints and potential in face of the new arrangements determined around the implementation of public policy.

To guarantee the professional exercise on the working field and at the same time to establish minimun contents that could guarantee the training of the professional, it has been presents subjects on professors and architects discussions since the deployment of the first courses of architecture in Brazil. Facing all of the changes in the professional exercise, and especially the teaching of architecture, it is worth asking: how does it configure today the formation of the architect and urbanist? What is the result of this formation? What kind of professional are we molding? In fact do we mold a generalist professional, with a single license? To achieve this investigative goal has been analysed the finals graduation works of the Course of Architecture and Urbanism awarded on the National Competition of Final Graduation Work Opera Prima, from 1989 to 2011, taken as primary resource of this research. The Opera Prima competition was created in 1988 through a partnership between the (Assossiação Brasileira de Ensino de Arquitetura) Brazilian Assossiation of Architecture Teaching, the ABEA, the magazine Projeto and the sponsorship from FADEMAC. The documental analysis was the methodological procedure adopted for the implementation of the research that has as purpose to analyse the finals graduation work of the course of Architecture and Urbanism. The final graduation work is an academic work widely used in higher education as a way to assess the graduating students of the course. The purpose is to always observe, in the evaluation of Final Work, the diversity of the training aspects of the architect and urbanist. / A formação de arquitetos e urbanistas sempre foi objeto de interesse e estudo por parte daqueles que exercem a arquitetura e o urbanismo e atuam em seu ensino. Assegurar o exercício profissional neste campo de trabalho e, ao mesmo tempo, estabelecer conteúdos mínimos que garantam a formação do profissional têm sido temas presentes nos debates dos professores e arquitetos desde a implantação dos primeiros cursos de arquitetura no Brasil. Diante de todas as mudanças ocorridas no exercício profissional e, sobretudo no ensino de arquitetura, cabe perguntar: Como se configura hoje a formação do arquiteto e urbanista? Qual tem sido o resultado desta formação? Que tipo de profissional os cursos têm formado? De fato formam um profissional generalista, com uma única habilitação? Para o alcance deste propósito investigativo, a análise documental foi o procedimento metodológico adotado para a realização da pesquisa. Foram analisados os trabalhos finais de graduação do curso de Arquitetura e Urbanismo premiados no Concurso Nacional de Trabalhos Finais de Graduação Opera Prima, de 1989 a 2011, tomados como fonte primária desta pesquisa. O concurso Opera Prima foi criado em 1988 mediante uma parceria entre a Associação Brasileira de Ensino de Arquitetura (ABEA) e a Revista Projeto com o patrocínio da FADEMAC. O Trabalho Final de Graduação é um trabalho acadêmico amplamente utilizado no ensino superior como forma de avaliar os graduandos concluintes do curso. No curso de Arquitetura e Urbanismo, essa avaliação do Trabalho Final possibilita examinar a diversidade dos aspectos da formação do arquiteto e urbanista.
