This thesis seeks to answer the ‘key question’: ‘how is the border worked at an international airport?’ To answer this key question the author, who is employed as a Customs officer, uses participant observation to provide material for an anthropological analysis of this question. The primary anthropological focus that will permeate throughout this thesis is interconnectedness of human and non human actors. This focus on interconnectedness will be linked to the ability of the workers of the border to communicate about risk to one another. Risk at the border is highly political following the terrorist attacks of September 11 (9/11). The attacks are not a focus of this thesis but a study of the border network will shed some light on how the workers of the border make sense of external factors such as these attacks (9/11) in their work world. The thesis accounts for links between the border workers of different government agencies and uses the idea of an occupational community to do so. The thesis will attempt to account for technologies within the border network. The account of technologies will demonstrate through an actor network approach their hybrid nature, and their ability to negotiate and renegotiate the border network. Power is analysed at the border through the ideas of Foucault. Though the idea of occupational community, actor network theory and the ideas of Foucault on power are not linked outside of this thesis in any way, they provide an honest account of the border network as expressed through the case study of risk and interagency communication at an international airport.

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

The market becomes inefficient when externalities cause market failure. However, an externality does not entrain inefficiency if a market other than the one that generates it accounts for it in some way. Airports are a well-known source of the negative externality noise; and housing market are commonly thought to be affected by airport noise. A hedonic model was applied to airport noise and the housing market, together. It was found that the housing market of the West Island of Montreal did account implicitly for the noise annoyance from Dorval Airport, hence that the noise was a pecuniary externality. Moreover, each additional unit of noise annoyance (NEFdB) was found to cause an average depreciation in housing price (NDSI) of 0.76%. Finally, the linguistic predominance (French- or English-speaking) of a neighhourhood's residents may be an appropriate Canadian analogue for the racial variables that have been specified in some hedonic property models in the U.S.

The research described herein is composed of four major areas of practice. It examines the overall performance of runways and provides tools designed to improve current runway operations and management with particular emphasis on contaminated surfaces. Presented in this thesis is an overview of how to design airport pavements in order to achieve optimal friction by specifically focusing on material selection and construction techniques for rigid and flexible pavements. Rubber buildup and the impact rubber accumulation has on decreasing runway friction, particularly in a range of climatic conditions, is discussed. Four commonly used rubber removal techniques are presented and evaluated. Through this research, an analytical hierarchy process (AHP) decision making protocol was developed for incorporation into airport pavement management systems (APMS). Runway surface condition reporting practices used at the Region of Waterloo International Airport are evaluated and recommendations for improving current practices are identified. Runway surface condition reporting can be improved by removing subjectivity, reporting conditions to pilots in real time, standardizing terminology and measurement techniques, and including runway pictures or sketches to identify contaminant locations where possible. Reports should be incorporated and stored in the APMS. Aircraft braking systems and their effects on landing distances under contaminated conditions are discussed. This thesis presents a proposed solution for monitoring and measuring contaminated runway surfaces and identifying the risks associated with aircraft landing through using the Braking Availability Tester (BAT). Also proposed in this thesis is a testing framework for validating the Braking Availability Tester. The proposed BAT measures interaction between aircraft antiskid braking systems and runway contaminants to determine landing distances more accurately. Finally, this thesis includes a discussion explaining how pavement design, contaminant removal, results from friction tests, and results from the BAT can be incorporated into airport pavement management systems. APMS data can be analyzed to economically optimize and prioritize scheduling of pavement maintenance, preservation and rehabilitation treatments to maintain a high level of service, thereby contributing to runway safety and optimization.

There is a recognised need for the continued improvement of both the techniques and technology for spatial decision support in infrastructure site selection. Many authors have noted that current methodologies are inadequate for real-world site selection decisions carried out by heterogeneous groups of decision-makers under uncertainty. Nevertheless despite numerous limitations inherent in current spatial problem solving methods, spatial decision support systems have been proven to increase decision-maker effectiveness when used. However, due to the real or perceived difficulty of using these systems few applications are actually in use to support decision-makers in siting decisions. The most common difficulties encountered involve standardising criterion ratings, and communicating results. This research has focused on the use of Approximate Reasoning to improve the techniques and technology of spatial decision support, and make them easier to use and understand. The algorithm developed in this research (ARAISS) is based on the use of natural language to describe problem variables such as suitability, certainty, risk and consensus. The algorithm uses a method based on type II fuzzy sets to represent problem variables. ARAISS was subsequently incorporated into a new Spatial Decision Support System (InfraPlanner) and validated by use in a real-world site selection problem at Australia's Brisbane Airport. Results indicate that Approximate Reasoning is a promising method for spatial infrastructure planning decisions. Natural language inputs and outputs, combined with an easily understandable multiple decision-maker framework created an environment conducive to information sharing and consensus building among parties. Future research should focus on the use of Genetic Algorithms and other Artificial Intelligence techniques to broaden the scope of existing work.
