The problem with which this pilot study is concerned is to examine selected characteristics of tenants living in government-subsidized housing in an attempt to determine whether or not they differ significantly from tenants who qualify, but do not live in government subsidized housing and to determine if a relationship exists between these differences and the move to subsidized housing.

In later years the interest for solar cells has increased in Sweden. Even so, the attractiveness to integrate solar cells to buildings becomes attenuated due to regulations and taxes, which complicate the process. Ihus is a company owned by Uppsala Municipality in Sweden who has chosen to invest in solar cells that are integrated to their facility at Bolandsgatan 10, where they are leasing out locales to other companies. Their aim with the solar cells is to distribute electricity to their tenants without becoming professional electricity suppliers. This study simulates the solar cell electricity demand and supply at Bolandsgatan 10 and analyses the interest and regulations regarding solar cell integration. The result shows that using solar cells not only is an excellent choice of green energy but it would also be economical beneficial for the tenants. To show how solar cell electricity could be allocated, four alternative solutions have been developed. Furthermore, this report shows that tax regulations have to adapt to fit in with the development of solar cells in order to encourage the usage of solar cells in the future.

Hoy en día son miles de jóvenes los que necesitan trabajar y estudiar a la vez para poder desarrollarse profesionalmente. A la vez, nuestra ciudad cada vez más está siendo saturada por innumerable cantidad de autos que transitan diariamente entre las principales avenidas de nuestro país, ocasionando caos, estrés y sobretodo pérdida de tiempo valioso en transporte para los ciudadanos. Nuestra propuesta busca mejorar la calidad de vida de estos jóvenes, de la generación Millennials, quienes se caracterizan por su rápida adaptación a la tecnología, uso de redes sociales para comunicarse, búsqueda de independencia y mayor preparación académica. La solución que proponemos es la creación de “ROOMMIES” una app, que conecta a miles de jóvenes estudiantes de sectores B Y C, con arrendadores de habitaciones ubicadas estratégicamente cerca a sus universidades o centros de trabajo, lo que les facilitará el transporte y ahorrará tiempo de traslado de un lugar a otro. Inicialmente nos centraremos en los estudiantes de 2 de las principales universidades de nuestro país, como son la Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú (PUCP) y la Universidad Peruana de Ciencias Aplicadas (UPC), con la intención a largo plazo de expandir nuestras operaciones a todo el país. Nuestra investigación de mercado cuenta con 2 enfoques, uno dirigido hacia los estudiantes y el otro a los posibles arrendatarios, a quienes dirigiremos campañas especializadas de marketing, comunicación estratégica en redes sociales y constante asesoramiento. / Today are miles of youth the translator to work and study at the same time to be able to develop professionally.

Magister Philosophiae - MPhil / This dissertation explores the notions of community identity as they relate to land restitution. Specifically, the dissertation examines how community is (re)constructed in the Popela case study by examining how the claimants (former labour tenants) have framed their experience of dispossession and their understanding of their rights in land. Oftentimes, claimant groups will articulate their shared history as it relates to the land, and within this narrative they will seek to highlight the legitimacy of their claim. In this regard, rural communities tend to submit claims for restitution on the basis of the forced dispossession of the tribe. In contrast, labour tenants’ claims for restitution are based on the dispossession of grazing and cropping rights linked to their labour as individuals. The dissertation explores how the Popela claimants have (re)constructed their community identity. It shows that their discourse is characterized by conflicting notions of community and belonging, and traces the connections between these contradictions and the concessions the claimants had to make in adopting definitions and terms that have been imposed on them. It argues that while claimants appear to have accepted the Constitutional Court’s view of the basis of their claim, a ‘hidden transcript’ of commitment to community identity still persists, carefully hidden from public view in order to be awarded restitution.

På grund av den bostadsbrist på som idag delvis råder på hyresrättsmarknaden, kan frågan ställas huruvida fastighetsföretagen har incitament till att arbeta kunddrivet för att därmed öka sin konkurrenskraft. Att allmännyttiga bostadsbolag ska drivas utifrån affärsmässiga principer bestäms genom en ny lag från 2011 - Lag (2010:879) om allmännyttiga kommunala bostadsaktiebolag. Den nya lagstiftningen medför också ett nytt hyressättningssystem. Dessa förändringar kan komma att medföra nya spelregler på marknaden som innebär en ökad konkurrens bland fastighetsföretagen samt att kunden kan komma att ställa högre krav på sin hyresvärd.   Studiens syfte är att kartlägga och jämföra huruvida fastighetsföretag sätter sina kunder i fokus samt att kartlägga hyresgästers upplevelser vad gäller trivsel i sitt boende och vad de anser vara en idealisk förvaltning. För att kunna besvara syftet har en kvantitativ enkätundersökning med ett visst inslag av kvalitativa, öppna, frågor riktats mot hyresgäster från två fastighetsbolag, ett allmännyttigt och ett privatägt, och från två olika bostadsområden. Vidare har direkta kvalitativa intervjuer skett med företrädare från de undersökta fastighetsbolagen AB Eidar, Trollhättans bostadsbolag samt Lundqvist Byggförvaltning AB. Dessa genomfördes för att få en insikt i och förståelse för hur kundorienterat bolagen arbetar.   Litteraturen som studien har baserats på innefattar områdena fastighetsförvaltning, kunddriven förvaltning och service management. Utifrån denna litteratur har sedan teorier legat till grund för inledande kunskapsinhämtning och frågeställningar. Senare har dessa teorier kopplats till empirin i studiens analysdel.   Vad som framkommer i resultatet påvisar att hyresgäster endast i viss mån sätts i fokus av sin hyresvärd. Detta indikerar på att fastighetsföretagen inte till fullo arbetar kundorienterat. Resultatet visar även på att både förvaltaren och fastighetens geografiska läge är av betydelse för till vilken grad hyresgästen sätts i fokus. Vidare framkommer vilka faktorer som påverkar hyresgästernas trivsel samt att en summering av hur en idealisk förvaltning bedrivs, enligt tillfrågade hyresgäster, redovisas. / The purpose of this examination is to study and analyze whether two different housing companies in Trollhättan, Sweden, put their tenants in focus or not. Literature based on facility management, with emphasis in customer orientation and service management, has been used to enhance the authors’ knowledge base. Interviews with the chosen housing companies and questionnaires targeted to tenants have been implemented to proceed and to answer the general question of this examination. A comparison between the housing companies will evaluate if there is any difference between a company for public utility, Eidar, and one whom is owned privately, Lundqvist. The results of the data shows, from some angles, a great variation in tenants’ opinions considering their experiences regarding having a safe home, being taken seriously by their housing company and the possibility to suit their apartment along with personal wishes and/or needs. The main question is if the tenant feels him being in focus by the housing company. The analysis illuminates and discusses the results, which will lead to a conclusion. According to this study housing companies only partly keep their tenants in focus and the utility company seems to be less focused on the customers than the private-owned one.
