The documentation of complete and timely as-built information related to construction projects is essential for tracking progress, planning corrective action, and analyzing the schedule. The collection of site information, however, is currently a challenging, time-consuming, and error-prone manual process. To improve the tracking of as-built information, this research focused on the development of a low-cost voice-visual framework that utilizes commonly available communication tools such as email and interactive voice response (IVR). The goal of this research was to create project-wide bidirectional communication between site personnel and head office to automate the tracking of daily site information. The research involved an in-depth analysis of the possible site events and progress-tracking needs related to construction activities. Accordingly, activity-specific email forms and logical-flow diagrams were developed as a means of facilitating site data collection. A framework was then developed that integrates several components: the developed tracking forms; a cloud-based IVR service; a customized scheduling application; and an email application. During construction, the automated system identifies eligible activities to be tracked; collects as-built details from the relevant supervisors; and uses the daily time segments of the schedule as an integrated depository for all as-built details, including progress information, events by all parties, and requests for information (RFIs), quality/safety issues, and other video/audio/drawing-markup notes. The developed system generates detailed as-built schedule that clearly show the evolution of all as-built events and their accurate timing on the daily segments for each activity. The project schedule is thus converted from a static report into information-rich, visualization media, and decision-support tool that provides decision makers with timely progress details so that they can easily follow the project progress , facilitates schedule updates, facilitates accurate schedule forensics, delay analysis, , and the planning of appropriate corrective action. The developed framework was validated though a number of case studies that demonstrated its usefulness and practicality. This research contributes to construction efficiency through the facilitation of bidirectional communication between site personnel and head office and the provision of timely and legible as-built data for decision-making. Ultimately, the research will assist construction firms to have better control over construction projects and more effective decisions during construction through improved communication.

The main goal of this work is to analyze existing popular software size estimation and project completeness schedule methods and models, find advantages and disadvantages, try to combine them for using together, searching for common properties. The combination of these methods and models will give a new model, which will be tested with experimental research.

Apesar de existir muita informação disponível sobre gerenciamento de projetos, não há a mesma profusão de literatura quando se trata de megaprojetos. Gerenciar projetos deste porte pode provocar efeitos indesejados, como atrasos em cronogramas e custos acima dos previstos. Estes objetivos são impactados por cronogramas que não seguem o planejado e que, muitas vezes, não consideram os riscos envolvidos. O presente estudo aborda a análise quantitativa de riscos nos cronogramas dos megaprojetos visando a contribuir para suprir a escassez de comprovações teóricas e empíricas em estudos relacionados ao gerenciamento destes projetos, principalmente quanto ao tratamento dos riscos associados a seus cronogramas. Os dados primários da pesquisa foram coletados por meio de entrevistas com cinco consultores e cinco gerentes de projetos que atuam numa empresa brasileira de energia que implanta megaprojetos no setor de óleo e gás, enquanto os dados secundários foram obtidos por meio da revisão da literatura. O estudo evidenciou a existência de subjetividades e lacunas no processo de análise de riscos, assim como a necessidade de capacitação em gestão de riscos dos gestores de nível hierárquico mais elevado, como forma de assegurar a obtenção de melhores resultados com o uso da prática no processo decisório. Como forma de reduzir estas fragilidades do processo, o estudo oferece uma proposta metodológica de análise quantitativa de riscos em cronogramas de megaprojetos que sinaliza a necessidade de incorporação de práticas de avaliação da consistência do cronograma. / Project management practices have been perceived as relevant by organizations in order to improve the results of their projects and facilitate the achievement of its business goals. Although there is much information available on project management, there isn’t the same profusion of literature when it relates to megaprojects. Manage projects of this size can cause unwanted effects, such as delays in schedules and costs overruns. These goals are impacted by schedules that do not follow the plan and often do not consider the risks involved. This study adresses megaprojects schedule risk analysis aiming to help overcome the shortage of theoretical and empirical evidence in studies related to the management of these projects, particularly for the treatment of risks associated with their schedules. The primary data for research were collected through interviews with five consultants and five project managers who work at an energy Brazilian company which undertakes megaprojects related to oil and gas sector megaprojects, and the secondary data were obtained from the literature review. The study evidenced the existence of subjectivities and gaps in risk analysis process, as well as the need for training in risk management for managers in the higher hierarchical level, as a way to ensure better results with the use of the practice in the decision-making process. As a way to reduce these weaknesses in the process, the study offers a methodological proposal for quantitative risk analysis in megaproject schedules that indicates the need to incorporate practices to evaluate the schedule consistency.

This thesis deals with the problem concerning the foundation and operation of forest preschools in the Czech Republic. The first forest preschool in the Czech Republic was founded in 2007 and the number of forest preschool has increased to forty-functioning forest preschools. However the forest preschools do not meet the requirements of preschool services. In the Czech Republic is no legislative rules for the operation of forest preschools. Nevertheless the research from abroad confirmed the positive effect on mental and physical development of children at preschool age. Above that the northern countries, Denmark and Germany support the functioning of the forest preschools. The foundation and the operation of forest preschool in the Czech Republic is accompanied with a lot of unclear issues. Because of that, the feasibility study provide a material which will help to future funders to evaluate the feasibility, reasonableness of the project, provide the information which will influence the operation and the foundation of the forest preschool in their neighborhood. The main aim of the thesis is to assess an implementation aspects that can influence the establishment of forest preschool. The feasibility study is related to the specific forest preschool in the district of Strakonice. The thesis is...
