Bali, an island east of Java, is one of the five international gateways connecting Indonesia with the many foreign countries from Asia, Australia, the Americas, and Europe. The island has a richness of natural scenery and cultural events based on strong Hindu's beliefs.All of these unique phenomena attract people from different cultures and nations to visit and be part of these celebrations, as well as to enjoy the warm breeze and palm trees along the beaches.A 1989 Department of Tourism, Post and Telecommunication in Indonesia's Report suggests that the number of tourist coming to private agencies are working together to improve the island'sBali increases as much as 15 percent annually ( 1989 Indonesia Hand Book). To accommodate this development, the Government and infrastructure and build accommodations which range from three to five star international hotels. The other important element that the island needs is to expandthe airport facility to accommodate the fast growing number of international flights that accommodate this.The major goal of this project is to plan and design new airport facilities with emphasis on the new design for the international terminal. This design of the new international terminal building at the Bali International Airport, Indonesia, is an attempt to introduce a new concept of a built form using vernacular architectural concepts as the starting point. The technology required by the functions inherent in the program will be used by the architect to translate these considerations into reality.The design approach for this project is mainly based on the beliefs and order which have been traditionally followed and applied by the people of Bali. However, the intention of this project is not to literally design something which has a form borrowed from the traditional form, but that which is developed beyond the traditional concept and utilized this concept in concert with modern structural engineering and materials. Therefore to ensure the success of a design for this important facility, it is imperative to find the essence and the spirit of the traditional architecture and represent them through a modern built form. / Department of Architecture

CIVINS / Sao Tome and Principe has recently reached the completion point for the United Nation's Highly Indebted and Poor Countries (HIPC) program and is now looking to develop a sustainable and prosperous economy (International Monetary Fund 2007). However, the existing international airport is failing to meet the safety, security and capacity requirements to further the country's economic development. Construction of an airport security fence is underway that will cutoff several thousand residents from the water sources and will redirect routes to the markets of Sao Tome. This Master's project utilizes scenario planning to explore possible futures for the expansion of Sao Tome and Principe's international airport. The scenario development process is intended to facilitate dialogue within the country about the future by which policy and development decisions can be made. A wide range of topics such as environment, history, culture, economy, social structure, land use, domestic policy and infrastructure were studied in order to make educated projections. potential benefits, dangers, and conflicts between the issues were considered in order to design planning scenarios that present both positive and negative futures. The result was four primary scenarios for the international airport and surrounding campus that explore opportunities and externalities inherent in such a project with broad and drastic impacts. The representative scenarios included in this final report demonstrate a broad range of alternative futures such as: dramatic expansion, no expansion, or conservative expansion of the airport. Each of the scenarios is presented through various means to describe the possible future including: written analysis, story telling (narratives), sketches, mapping, and photo vignettes. This report is intended to stimulate discussion regarding the future Sao Tome and Principe. / Funding number: N62271-97-G-0056.

This diploma thesis provides a basic description and an indication of technical and legislative issues that are closely related to the safety of civil aviation. Well known accidents related to illegal acts are also described in this paper. The aim of this paper is to assess the current personnel?s state and knowledge relating to civil aviation security at international airports, focusing on the airport in České Budějovice. Two hypotheses are presented H ? 1 and H ? 2, which are evaluated using statistical survey and to perform structural analysis of security at international airports in the Czech Republic and structural analysis of security system of LKCS and then compare them, or possibly suggest additional measures that would increase security at the airport. This paper evaluates the level of knowledge on the basis of a questionnaire survey of personnel of České Budějovice airport and Prague - Ruzyně Airport on civil aviation security issues concerning illegal acts and compares this level of knowledge by application of statistical survey. Structural analysis of the security system and legislation used in international civil aviation in the Czech Republic and also analysis of security system according to the applicable legislation at the international nonpublic airport in České Budějovice are performed. These analyses are compared and evaluated. The analysis of results and the confirmation or refutation of hypotheses H ? 1 and H ? 2 are presented in the discussion including suggestion of precautions that could improve the security at the České Budějovice airport.
