This study measures the campus climate for Asian Americans on a college campus before and after tragic events, and places it in the context of what is known about the social location of Asian American students nationally. Using a multi-method approach, including in-depth interviews supplemented by data from content analyses and surveys, it addresses perceptions of Asian American students about themselves and the campus climate. In doing so it addresses the more general question of minority stereotyping and strategies taken by minority groups to compensate for such stereotypes. Findings from this study suggest that the campus climate for Asian American undergraduates appears to be welcoming, and respondents do not report stress emanating from their 'model minority' status. Instead, they embrace and offer full-support for the 'model minority' stereotype. / Ph. D. / This study measures the campus climate for Asian Americans in higher education. In doing so it addresses the question of minority stereotyping and strategies taken by minority groups to compensate for such stereotypes. Findings from this study suggest that the campus climate for Asian American undergraduates appears to be welcoming; counter to the much of the literature in Asian American studies, this study suggests that the “model minority” stereotype can have positive outcomes for those to whom it is applied.

Värdskap - konsten att få människor att känna sig välkomna. Värdskap blir ett allt viktigare verktyg för verksamheter runtom i världen och kan vara avgörande för ett företags överlevnad. Under vår utbildning till upplevelseproducenter förstod vi snabbt att värdskap är lika viktigt på en professionell nivå som i vardagen och valde därmed att intressera oss för att integrera upplevelseproduktion med värdskapet i vår vardagliga skolmiljö. Syftet med rapporten var att skapa en värdskapsmodell för Campus Piteå utifrån upplevelseproduktionsmodellen TEM-Total Experience Management. Studien bygger på en semikvalitativ semistrukturerad intervju med en nyckelperson från Luleå tekniska universitet som bland annat har hand om värdskapet på universitetets olika campus. Två fokusgrupper med studenter från olika utbildningar på Campus Piteå har också genomförts. Under intervjun och fokusgrupperna kom det fram att det värdskap universitetet ville förmedla inte upplevdes på samma sätt av de studenter som vi pratade med på Campus Piteå. Därför har vi i delstudie tre med en GAP-analys som utgångspunkt skapat en vad vi kallar värdskapsmodifierad version av TEM, utifrån resultatet av intervjun och fokusgrupperna. / Hostmanship - the art of making people feel welcome. Hostmanship is becoming a very important tool for organisations around the world and can be vital for a company’s survival. During our Bachelor of Arts-degree in becoming professional Experience producers we realized that hostmanship is as important on a professional level as in every-day life which is why we took an interest in integrating experience production with hostmanship in our daily school environment. The purpose of this essay is to create a hostmanship model for Campus Piteå based on the experience production model TEM-Total Experience Management. The study is based on a semi-qualitative semi-structured interview with a key figure at Luleå University of Technology who is in charge of the hostmanship at the university’s different campuses. Two focus groups with students from different courses at Campus Piteå has also been completed. It was revealed during the interview and the focus groups that the hostmanship the university wanted to convey was not experienced in the same way by the students at Campus Piteå. We have therefore, in sub study three, used Gap-analysis as a tool to create a hostmanship modified version of TEM, based on the results of the interview and the focus groups.

This dissertation examines reported campus crime at Virginia’s institutions of higher education. Utilizing secondary data and content analysis, the research seeks to determine the amount and types of crime occurring on Virginia campuses and which correlates explain such crimes. Three sources of campus crime statistics are included and scrutinized in detail, including the Clery Act statistics, Virginia Incident-Based Reporting statistics and campus crime logs. Regardless of data source, findings indicate that the vast majority of reported campus crime is comprised of property offenses. The research argues to separate analyses by campus police departments versus campus security departments for more meaningful findings. For multivariate analysis, the study employs campus crime logs as the outcome measure for reported campus crime. The results indicate that, in all models, percentage of students living on campus significantly contributes to the explanation and prediction of total, violent/personal, and property crime log offenses reported per 100 students at institutions with either campus police departments or security departments. Additionally, percentage male enrollment was found to significantly contribute to violent/personal offenses reported per 100 students at institutions with campus police departments. Implications of findings and recommendations for policy and future research are discussed.

Master of Landscape Architecture / Department of Landscape Architecture / Laurence A. Clement, Jr. / Restorative landscapes are a growing trend within health care environments and can have a lasting impact on people if applied within other settings, particularly higher education campuses. Their design captures the many healing qualities of nature that humans are instinctively attracted to (Heerwagen, 2011). Within restorative landscapes, people have been historically found to experience relief of stress, improved morale, and improved overall well-being (Barnes et al., 1999). While campus planning standards do consider the outdoor environment as an extension of the classroom, higher education campuses can do more to utilize the cognitive benefits of nature for students, faculty and staff. This project explores principles and theories of restorative landscape design, empirical psychological research, and campus design to develop a framework that facilitates the creation of restorative campus spaces on higher education campuses. In partnership with the Office of Design and Construction Management at the University of Kansas, the framework was subsequently applied through the design of the landscape for the Center for Design Research on the KU campus. In the context of current campus planning challenges, restorative landscape design is a potentially valuable strategy in strengthening the beneficial roles and efficacy of the campus landscape. This design project explores its application to envision places within a higher education campus that, along with other benefits, relieve stress for students, faculty and staff.

A Universidade é um centro de produção de conhecimento e reflete os contextos social, cultural, histórico e econômico que compõem a complexa tessitura de decisões políticas e embates entre interesses públicos, privados e a sociedade. Torna-se o motor da transformação urbana, porque requalifica o tecido urbano em que está estrategicamente inserida. Seu projeto urbanístico arquitetônico tem a responsabilidade de traduzir as forças, conflitos, desafios e sintetizá-los como contribuição ao espaço construído. A exemplo disto, esta dissertação trata do processo de implantação da Universidade Federal do ABC - UFABC, iniciada a partir de 2004, na região do Grande ABC paulista, concebida com uma missão ideológica bastante definida de tornar-se um equipamento urbano estratégico para as cidades do ABC. Trata-se de uma experiência de política pública que objetivou, em âmbito federal, a democratização, a expansão e a melhoria da qualidade do ensino superior por meio da implantação de um novo projeto pedagógico, voltado para o século XXI e, em âmbito regional e municipal, representou um marco arquitetônico e urbanístico que se propôs a promover a inclusão social, a requalificação e a intensificação da vida e do espaço urbanos. É certo que a UFABC se caracteriza como uma intervenção bastante renovadora para modelos de campi universitários, porém a realidade revela que muitas possibilidades são convertidas em ideologias irrealizadas e nem sempre a relação entre universidade e cidade é simbiótica. Ao revisitar seu processo de implantação e contextualizá-lo, esta pesquisa propõe-se a uma interpretação crítica das ações realizadas, visando a algumas contribuições para ampliar o tema abordado: espaços universitários contemporâneos. / As a center for the production of knowledge, the University mirrors the social, cultural, historical and economic contexts that characterize the complex web of political choices and conflicts among public and private entities, and society at large. The university is the engine of urban transformation because it re-qualifies the urban fabric in which it is strategically located. Its urbanistic and architectural project ought to synthesize the dynamics of power, conflict, and challenges into the built environment. This dissertation is a case study for this process, examining the creation of Universidade Federal do ABC (Federal University of the ABC region) - UFABC - in 2004. UFABC was conceived with the well-defined ideological mission of becoming a strategic urban equipment for the cities that comprise the grande ABC (designation for the conurbated cities of Santo André, São Bernardo, and São Caetano, which are adjecent to the metropolitan area of São Paulo). This experiment in federal public policy was aimed at democratizing, expanding, and improving the quality of higher education through a new pedagogical project specifically designed for the 21st Century. At the regional and municipal levels it is an architectural and urbanistic milestone that aims to promote social inclusion and re-qualify and intensify urban space and life. While UFABC strove to renew the prevailing university campus models, the end result is that many possibilities remain unfulfilled ideological projects, and the relationship between the university and the city is not always symbiotic. By reviewing the implementation process and its context, this research provides a critique through the lens of theoretical frameworks concerned with contemporary architecture and urbanism.

Esta investigação constituiu-se no desenvolvimento de metodologia para uso e aplicação do SIG no Campus II da USP de São Carlos. Em etapa preliminar, por meio de sistema GPS, foi analisado o trabalho de georreferenciamento realizado por empresa, para a universidade. Os dados levantados neste processo foram usados para geração de um arquivo, para o referido campus, o qual servirá de base para os mais diversos fins. Pelo fato de o Campus II ainda estar em fase de implantação, o projeto piloto - exemplo ou amostra da aplicação da metodologia - precisou ser executado no Campus I. A execução do plano teve início com a união dos dados alfanuméricos e geográficos para produção do SIG e geração de novos dados e informações. / This investigation developed a methodology to be used on application of the SIG at the Campus II-USP in São Carlos (SP). During a preliminary stage a work of geographic reference, realized by a company for the University, was analyzed though a GSP system. The data obtained in the process was used to generate a many purpose file for the campus with can be used as a base other works. The pilot model - example or sample of application of the methodology - had to be developed on the Campus I because of the stage of implantation of the Campus II. The development of the project stored with the union of the alpha-numeric and geographic data to produce the SIG and new data and information are generated.

O Brasil foi o pioneiro em termos da consolidação de uma escola de arquitetura moderna que disseminou um estilo, através de um grupo de arquitetos, entre eles Jorge Machado Moreira, que se apropriou dos conceitos modernistas de Le Corbusier, traduzindo-os em obras e buscando a síntese entre o moderno e as condições locais. Campi Universitários constituem uma categoria de projetos modernistas, que através da sua análise pode-se verificar o momento social de uma determinada época. A pesquisa discute o desdobramento do tema em um contexto específico dentro da cidade. É a cidade dentro da cidade, constituindo um microcosmo urbano. Este microcosmo urbano trata-se da Cidade Universitária da Universidade do Brasil, atual UFRJ, localizada na Ilha do Fundão, cujo plano urbano e projeto de alguns edifícios foi concebido pelo arquiteto Jorge Machado Moreira na década de 50. Embora a primeira parte do trabalho seja voltada ao conhecimento histórico de “campi universitários” e sua evolução, o foco do estudo centra-se no Plano inicial da Cidade Universitária da Universidade do Brasil (1949-1952), tido como o mais corbusiano, a Primeira versão (1954) e também na análise dos edifícios concebidos pelo arquiteto. A partir dessa análise, parte-se para as referências utilizadas por Jorge Machado Moreira para a concepção da Cidade Universitária. Por fim, aprofunda-se em três estudos de caso projetados por Jorge Machado Moreira na ilha: o Estádio Universitário (não executado), o Hospital Universitário e o Centro de Tecnologia. Devido a atualidade do tema, o estudo da Cidade Universitária da Universidade do Brasil representa um precedente exemplar no contexto latinoamericano, juntamente com as Cidades Universitárias da Venezuela e México. Desta forma, abre-se caminho para a investigação que segue, tendo em vista o ideal de “campus” como síntese e experimentação do urbanismo moderno. / Brazil was the pioneer in the consolidation of a school of modern architecture a style that that spread through a group of architects, among them Jorge Machado Moreira, who has appropriated the concepts of modernist Le Corbusier, translating them into work and seeking synthesis between the modern and local conditions. College campuses are a category of modernist projects, through its analysis that can verify the timing of a particular social season. The research discusses the unfolding of the topic in a specific context within the city. It is a city within a city, constituting an urban microcosm. This urban microcosm is to the University City University of Brazil, currently UFRJ, located on Fundão Island, whose urban plan and design of some buildings designed by arquitect Jorge Machado Moreira in the 50s. While the first part of the work is focused on the historical knowledge of "campuses" and its evolution, the focus of the study focuses on the initial plan of the University City University of Brazil (1949-1952), considered the most corbusian, the first version (1954) and also the analysis, we proceed to the references used by Jorge Machado Moreira for the design of University City. Finally, delves into three case studies designed by Jorge Machado Moreira on the island: the University Stadium (not running), the University Hospital and Center for Technology. Due to today’s topic, the study of University City University of Brazil represents an exemplary precedent in the latin american context, along with the City University of Venezuela and Mexico. This opens up the way for the research that follows, in view of the ideal “campus as synthesis and “testing of modern urbanism.
