Over the past decade, the demand for student housing in the Hatfield Student Village, situated between the Hatfield and Hillcrest campuses of the University of Pretoria, has grown to a point, where the demand greatly overshadows the supply. Local developers, who recognised the need for housing among students, have made great progress in filling this gap. It has come to a point, where the University of Pretoria has the second largest supply of student housing in South Africa, after the University of Cape Town. This study has sought to determine whether there is still development potential for student housing in the Hatfield area, and also to develop a 10-year masterplan for the future development of accommodation in the Hatfield and Hillcrest areas. Prominent development companies in the student-housing industry were contacted; and interviews were conducted with 8 high-ranking individuals in 8 different companies. The interviews determined the developers’ appetites for the further development of student accommodation in an area, which is already highly competitive. Interviews were also conducted with various role-players in Hatfield, such as the CEO of Hatfield CID, as well as prominent Estate Agents working in the area. Further data were collected on the various occupancy levels in the existing student accommodation, in order to determine the need for future development. The results showed that developers have developed the area to supply about 11 315 beds to the market. With 4 178 beds in line to enter the market within the next 5 to 10 years, the supply will be much larger than the demand. Opportunity must be given to the economy to recover; and thereafter, further development of student accommodation must concentrate on providing units for low-income students. A 10-year masterplan, divided into short-, medium- and long-term time periods, provides a potential road-map to follow, for the future of student accommodation in the Hatfield Student Village. The plan elaborates on future development and the type of development, which would ensure a successful student community for the University of Pretoria. / Dissertation (MSc)--University of Pretoria, 2019. / Construction Economics / MSc (Real Estate) / Unrestricted

This diploma thesis focuses on the current possibilities of obtaining subsidies in the Czech Republic, specifically on those related to the funding of small municipalities and their development. The main objective of the thesis is to determine common needs of small municipalities and to design a financing source that would use subsidies. The aim is to help small municipalities to have a good understanding of fairly complex subsidy programs and to propose specific solutions that would finance some of their activities, especially those that are the most important at the moment.

This thesis is divided into theoretical and practical part. In the theoretical part are explained key words with reference to the authors and publications that issue. The practical part describes at first the chosen municipalities, followed by the SWOT analysis that capture the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats. The following is the description of the development potential. The conclusion are set out guidelines for their sustainable development.

The intention of this master’s thesis is proposal development of housing in Brno-Řečkovice location. This is an area between Žilkova street and Terezy Novákové street. In currently in this area it is found terraced houses and block of flats near the north boundaries of area. Then it is found the small recreational buildings and yards. Area has development potential, because it is situated in quiescent location of Brno, but at the same time it is relatively easily accessible.Thanks of planning extension tram line. The urban concept contains especially blocks of flats, then objects with services and day-care center. The intention is create functional place with new housing capacity.

The disease annually, has affected millions of people worldwide, mostly in the range of the intertropical globe. The disease's main vector in urban areas, the Aedes aegypti mosquito. Recent studies indicate that the distribution of the insect vector of dengue in the geographical area is directly tied to the behavior of environmental restrictions that area, especially among those, the air temperature and relative humidity. From that context, the work aims to estimate and spatializing, monthly, for each municipality in the state of Rio Grande do Norte, the potential of biophysical conditions conducive to the development of Aedes aegypti. Yet, made use of the following methodology: collection of epidemiological data and climatological, Normal climatological, descriptive statistics (measures of central tendency and scatter), uniform distribution, estimation geostatistics and sufer program, version 8.0. The results flagged for a behavior very heterogeneous, both in space and in time, in the case of the potential of biophysical conditions conducive to the development of Aedes aegypti in the state of Rio Grande do Norte. Still, he noted that there is a tendency for lifting the potential of development for the entire state, from the month of January, ending in the month of April mainly in central and western portions of the state. By contrast, there is the permanence of increased potential for development in the eastern portion of the state. The latter record maximum potential in the month of July, resulting probability of greater than 70% have been favorable conditions for the development of Aedes aegypti in that area. In the period between the months of August to December, it is small potential for development of Aedes aegypti in all parts of the state / Na atual conjuntura da sa?de p?blica mundial destaca-se a emerg?ncia da dengue urbana, doen?a infecciosa febril aguda que tem como principal vetor no meio urbano o Aedes aegypti. A doen?a, anualmente, tem acometido milh?es de pessoas em todo o mundo, principalmente na faixa intertropical do globo. A partir desse contexto, o trabalho objetiva estimar e espacializar mensalmente, sob a ?tima bioclim?tica, a potencialidade, para cada munic?pio do Rio Grande do Norte (RN), da condi??o biof?sica Favor?vel ao Desenvolvimento do Aedes aegypti. Para tanto, fez uso: coleta de dados epidemiol?gicos e climatol?gicos, Normal Climatol?gica, estat?stica descritiva (medidas de tend?ncia central e dispers?o), distribui??o uniforme, estima??o geoestat?stica e o programa sufer, vers?o 8.0. Os resultados sinalizaram para um comportamento bastante heterog?neo, tanto no espa?o como no tempo, em se tratando da potencialidade da condi??o biof?sica Favor?vel ao desenvolvimento do Aedes aegypti no estado RN. Ainda, observou-se que h? uma tend?ncia de eleva??o da potencialidade de desenvolvimento, para todo o estado, a partir do m?s de janeiro, cessando-se no m?s de abril principalmente nas por??es central e oeste do estado. Em contrapartida, para o mesmo per?odo, verifica-se a perman?ncia de aumento da potencialidade de desenvolvimento na por??o leste do estado. Esta ?ltima registrar? potencial m?ximo no m?s de julho, resultando em probabilidade maior que 70% de ter-se condi??es favor?veis ao desenvolvimento do Aedes aegypti naquela ?rea. No per?odo compreendido entre os meses de agosto a dezembro, constatou-se diminuto potencial de desenvolvimento do Aedes aegypti em todas as por??es do estado

This research focuses on the spatial analysis of the habitat of two vulnerable species, the one-horn rhinoceros in the grasslands of southern Nepal, and the red-cockaded woodpecker in the Piney woods of southeast Texas, in the USA. A study sites relevant for biodiversity conservation was selected in each country: Chitwan National Park in Nepal, and areas near the Big Thicket National Preserve in Texas. Land-use differs in the two study areas: the first is still undergoing agrarian development while the second is in a technological phase and undergoing urbanization processes. Satellite remote sensing images were used to derive land-cover maps by supervised classification. These maps were then processed by Geographic Information Systems methods to apply habitat models based on basic resources (food and cover) and obtain habitat suitability maps. Several landscape metrics were computed to quantify the habitat characteristics especially the composition and configuration of suitable habitat patches. Sensitivity analyses were performed as the nominal values of some of the model parameters were arbitrary. Development potential probability models were used to hypothesize changes in land-use of the second study site. Various scenarios were employed to examine the impact of development on the habitat of red-cockaded woodpecker. The method derived in this study would prove beneficial to guide management and conservation of wildlife habitats.
