Esta Tesis centra la atención en la aplicación que los SIG pueden tener en diferentes campos de la economía como las empresas minoristas o los centros tecnológicos intensivos en conocimiento. Los SIG pueden definirse como el conjunto de herramientas para recoger, almacenar, transformar y mostrar los datos espaciales para un conjunto particular de propósitos (Burrough, 1988). Por su parte, Barredo (1996) precisa que los SIG son sistemas digitales que, a través de un conjunto de herramientas de hardware y de software, permiten el análisis y manipulación de datos geográficos proporcionando una modelación de la realidad. Por una parte, en el sector minorista, la apertura de un nuevo local es un factor crítico ya que comporta una serie de riesgos monetarios y de imagen muy elevados para la empresa. Por ello, resulta clave realizar un correcto análisis de la localización para las nuevas aperturas (Hernández & Bennison, 2000). El uso de los SIG ha facilitado la comprensión de la información geográfica para los gerentes que carecen de conocimientos técnicos, ayudándoles, por tanto, a tomar decisiones difíciles y de gran envergadura (Ozimec et al., 2010). Además, los SIG son capaces de gestionar la información cartográfica con datos alfanuméricos. Por ello, los SIG se están convirtiendo en una herramienta indispensable para la toma de decisiones sobre la localización de establecimientos (Mendes & Themido, 2004). Por otra parte, los centros tecnológicos, cuando se conciben como proveedores de servicios avanzados para permitir la innovación (COTEC, 2003), también pueden ser considerados ¿minoristas¿ cuyo producto son los servicios intensivos en conocimiento o knowledge intensive business services (KIS). Por lo tanto, el concepto de trade areas también se puede aplicar a los centros tecnológicos en cuanto a su ubicación y el diseño de sus estrategias, entre otros aspectos. Así, diferentes autores destacan la importancia de la proximidad geográfica de los centros de tecnología para que puedan ofrecer un servicio eficaz y apoyar a las empresas (Barrio & García-Quevedo, 2005; Tödtling & Kaufmann, 2001). Por ello, en la investigación que se llevará a cabo en esta Tesis, también se aplicarán técnicas GIS a los centros tecnológicos, en un intento de mejorar el conocimiento sobre los determinantes de la distribución espacial entre las empresas asociadas a un centro tecnológico. / Roig Tierno, H.

Tesis por compendio / [ES] La capacidad del ser humano de modificar las condiciones de vida en el planeta se ha incrementado de forma notable en el último siglo. Así, dos fenómenos aparentemente opuestos concurren respecto al potencial destructivo y constructivo de nuestras sociedades. Por un lado, la humanidad se enfrenta al reto de articular procesos que permitan gestionar con responsabilidad los productos resultantes del desarrollo de la ciencia e innovación y evitar el colapso social, económico y medioambiental que puede resultar de los mismos. Por otro lado, la humanidad mira a las ciencias y al potencial innovador para responder a los retos globales que requieren abordajes y coordinación entre diferentes niveles de acción y desde una perspectiva inter y transdisciplinar. En este marco, surge el término "Investigación e Innovación Responsable" (RRI por sus siglas en inglés) con el objetivo de integrar aspectos éticos y demandas de participación de diferentes actores en los procesos de investigación e innovación con el fin de que los productos resultantes de los mismos estén alineados con las expectativas de la sociedad. Bajo el paraguas del término RRI o Responsible Innovation (RI), se han articulado una serie de propuestas teóricas y esfuerzos empíricos para operacionalizar la necesidad de integrar una perspectiva ética y promover la participación de nuevos actores en los procesos de investigación e innovación que permitan modular el potencial constructivo y destructivo de los resultados de la ciencia y la innovación. Para la consolidación del interés por el término RRI ha sido determinante la inclusión del mismo en los programas de investigación de la Comisión Europea. El programa Horizonte 2020 impulsó el uso del término en Europa, destinando fondos de investigación para promover su operativización, desarrollo de herramientas para su fomento, así como de herramientas de evaluación y monitorización. En este trabajo exploraremos los procesos de diseño de herramientas de monitorización y evaluación de la RRI. Para ello, propondremos la ética cívica como teoría que se ajusta a la fundamentación filosófica del concepto RRI, revisaremos cómo se han incorporado los valores y expectativas de agentes ajenos al proceso científico e innovador en el desarrollo de herramientas de monitorización y evaluación de la RRI y exploraremos cómo la técnica AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) puede contribuir a los procesos de desarrollo de dichas herramientas alineando los mismos a los requerimientos de la ética cívica. El trabajo parte de la hipótesis de que los procesos de desarrollo de metodologías y herramientas para la evaluación y monitorización de la RRI pueden ser considerados como procesos de investigación e innovación en sí mismos. En consecuencia, este trabajo analizará los procesos de investigación e innovación hacia herramientas de evaluación y seguimiento de la RRI bajo la óptica propia de la RRI. Se centrará especialmente en explorar el papel de los actores en tales procesos de investigación e innovación y en la potencialidad de la técnica AHP para facilitar la integración de actores en los procesos de desarrollo de herramientas de evaluación y monitorización de la RRI. / [CAT] La capacitat de l'ésser humà de modificar les condicions de vida en el planeta ha incrementat de manera notable en l'últim segle. Així, dos fenòmens aparentment oposats concorren respecte al potencial destructiu i constructiu de les nostres societats. D'una banda, la humanitat s'enfronta al repte d'articular processos que permeten gestionar amb responsabilitat els productes resultants del desenvolupament de la ciència i innovació i evitar el col·lapse social, econòmic i mediambiental que pot resultar d'aquests. D'altra banda, la humanitat mira a les ciències i al potencial innovador per a respondre als reptes globals que requereixen abordatges i coordinació entre diferents nivells d'acció i des d'una perspectiva inter i transdisciplinar. En aquest marc, sorgeix el terme "Investigació i Innovació Responsable" (RRI per les seues sigles en anglés) amb l'objectiu d'integrar aspectes ètics i demandes de participació de diferents actors en els processos d'investigació i innovació amb la finalitat que els productes resultants dels mateixos estiguen alineats amb les expectatives de la societat. Sota el paraigua del terme RRI o Responsible Innovation (RI), s'han articulat una sèrie de propostes teòriques i esforços empírics per a operacionalizar la necessitat d'integrar una perspectiva ètica i promoure la participació de nous actors en els processos d'investigació i innovació que permeten modula el potencial constructiu i destructiu dels resultats de la ciència i innovació. Per a la consolidació de l'interés pel terme RRI ha sigut determinant la inclusió del mateix en els programes d'investigació de la Comissió Europea. El programa Horitzó 2020 impulsà l'ús del terme a Europa, destinant fons d'investigació per a promoure la seua operativizació, desenvolupament d'eines per al seu foment, així com d'eines d'avaluació i monitoratge. En aquest treball explorarem els processos de disseny d'eines de monitoratge i avaluació de la RRI. Per a això, proposarem l'ètica cívica com a teoria que s'ajusta a la fonamentació filosòfica del concepte RRI, revisarem com s'ha incorporat els valors i expectatives d'agents aliens al procés científic i innovador en el desenvolupament d'eines de monitoratge i avaluació de la RRI i explorarem com la tècnica AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) pot contribuir als processos de desenvolupament d'aquestes eines alineant els mateixos als requeriments de l'ètica cívica. El treball parteix de la hipòtesi que els processos de desenvolupament de metodologies i eines per a l'avaluació i monitoratge de la RRI poden ser considerats com a processos d'investigació i innovació en si mateixos. En conseqüència, aquest treball analitzarà els processos d'investigació i innovació cap a eines d'avaluació i seguiment de la RRI sota l'òptica pròpia de la RRI. Se centrarà especialment a explorar el paper dels actors en tals processos d'investigació i innovació i en la potencialitat de la tècnica AHP per a facilitar la integració d'actors en els processos de desenvolupament d'eines d'avaluació i monitoratge de la RRI. / [EN] The capacity of humanity to modify the conditions of life on the planet has increased dramatically in the last century. Thus, two opposing phenomena concur concerning our societies' destructive and constructive potential. On the one hand, humanity faces the challenge of articulating processes to responsibly manage the products resulting from the development of science and innovation and to avoid the social, economic and environmental collapse that can result from them. On the other hand, humanity looks to the sciences and innovative potential to respond to global challenges that require approaches and coordination between different levels of action and from an inter- and transdisciplinary perspective. In this framework, the term "Responsible Research and Innovation" (RRI) arises intending to integrate ethical aspects and demands for the participation of different actors in research and innovation processes so that the resulting products are aligned with society's expectations. Under the umbrella of the term RRI or Responsible Innovation (RI), a series of theoretical proposals and practical efforts have been articulated to operationalise the need to integrate an ethical perspective and promote the participation of new actors in research and innovation processes to modulate the constructive and destructive potential of the results of science and innovation. Including the term RRI in the European Commission's research programmes has been decisive in consolidating interest in RRI. The Horizon 2020 programme has boosted its use in Europe, allocating research funds for its operationalisation, promotion, evaluation and monitoring tools. In this work, we will explore the design processes of RRI monitoring and evaluation tools. To do so, we will propose civic ethics as a theory that fits the philosophical foundation of the RRI concept, we will review how the values and expectations of agents outside the scientific and innovative process have been incorporated into the development of RRI monitoring and evaluation tools, and we will explore how the AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) technique can contribute to the development processes of these tools by aligning them with the requirements of civic ethics. The work stems from the hypothesis that developing methodologies and tools for RRI assessment and monitoring can be considered research and innovation processes. Consequently, this paper will analyse the processes of research and innovation towards RRI assessment and monitoring tools through the lens of RRI. It will primarily focus on exploring the role of actors in such research and innovation processes and on the potential of the AHP technique to facilitate the integration of actors in developing RRI assessment and monitoring tools. / Esta tesis ha recibido financiación del Plan Nacional de Investigación del proyecto “Propuesta de indicadores para impulsar el diseño de una política orientada al desarrollo de Investigación e Innovación Responsable en España” (INPERRI) (ref.: CSO2016-76828-R).

This study aims to explore the ability of a multi-criteria decision making with analytical hierarchy process (MCDM-AHP) model to emulate the results of a cost benefit analysis (CBA) model in the context of offshore wind farm siting within the Swedish exclusive economic zone (EEZ). The research question addressed is whether the MCDM-AHP analysis produces similar results to the CBA analysis. In addition to this, the strengths and weaknesses of each model is explored. The MCDM-AHP model employs the spatial criteria in a more basic manner compared to the CBA model, simplifying the evaluation process while still explaining 89.5% of the variation in the CBA model and defining similar areas as suitable. Thus, it can be concluded that the MCDM-AHP model adequately emulates the CBA model within the context of offshore wind farm siting within the Swedish EEZ. However, it is crucial to note that the two models produce outputs on different scales. While the CBA model provides levelized cost of energy (LCOE) values that can be thresholded for investment viability comparisons, the suitability score generated by the MCDM-AHP model remains a relative and arbitrary score within the model. Both models entail uncertainties, limiting their usage beyond making general assumptions or identifying areas of interest. The findings reveal that the CBA model demonstrates greater robustness when confronted with changes in spatial input parameters compared to the MCDM-AHP model. This discrepancy is attributed to the iterative computation process and consideration of flat cost inputs in the CBA model, whereas the MCDM-AHP model represents a linear combination of various spatial parameters. However, the calculated LCOE values in the CBA model are highly sensitive to changes in modeling assumptions regarding external parameters, resulting in significant linear variations. The LCOE values obtained from the CBA model baseline case fall within a range of 52.1 - 98.9 EUR/MWh, which aligns with similar studies, validating the CBA model. Nonetheless, caution should be exercised when considering these results as an accurate representation of the real world due to inherent uncertainties in cost inputs and the LCOE measure. The strengths of the MCDM-AHP model lie in its robustness when the order of relative importance remains stable for key spatial evaluators. It is sensitive to significant changes in water depth and wind speed, which heavily influence its output. The model's simplicity allows for a quick overview of the problem, but it requires assumptions that introduce uncertainties. Validation of the MCDM-AHP model using existing and planned offshore wind farms within the Swedish EEZ was possible but limited by the arbitrary scale and limited validation areas. The comparison between the two models could be enhanced with more comprehensive spatial and economic data for an in-depth CBA model, which could serve as a ground truth for the MCDM-AHP model. Nevertheless, the comparison made in this study considers the CBA model to be closer to the truth, acknowledging the underlying assumptions that should be considered during evaluation. In conclusion, within the context of offshore wind farm siting, the MCDM-AHP model produces outputs that are similar to the CBA model.

科學技術進步下，產品生命週期不斷縮短，不少企業藉縮短新產品規劃階段以及簡化的前置作業，回應必須快速推出新產品的壓力，但學者研究調查中持續發現，輕忽新產品設計與開發最起始階段是導致新產品失敗的主要原因，因此本研究將研究重點放在新產品開發流程之前段新產品策略與規劃工作上。 本研究將新產品開發流程一切為二，「前段」涵蓋全面發展階段之前的產品構想、初步調查、細部調查等新產品開發階段，「後段」則包括全面發展階段在內的產品測試與確定、全面生產與上市等新產品開發階段，而Cooper(2000)在前段與後段之間設立一個重要的檢核關卡，前段須產出明確的「新產品定義」相當於科技產品之規格，以及「新產品定位」也就是新產品對消費者之訴求重點後才能進入後段流程，因此本研究期望使此重要關卡所需的最後「新產品定義與定位」產出，能是一個周延考慮各面向因素的最佳結果，因此本研究提出之解決方法是納入前段所有需考慮的新產品策略因素以及可行性因素，加以整理並建立「新產品定義與定位評估架構」，提供企業在決定「新產品定義與定位」時能夠透過客觀檢核架構，進行新產品推入市場後成功率的評估，甚至能將之運用在各新產品方案之間的選擇，例如：越符合架構各面向因素的新產品方案，代表較高的產品成功率。 本研究選擇決策中心在台灣的「台灣自有品牌企業」，鎖定產品生命週期短且汰換率高之特性的「手機產品」，並以對企業與市場而言皆為新產品的「智慧型手機」為研究對象；本研究研究目的為希望了解台灣自有品牌手機公司實際進行新產品開發流程的情形，並找出妥善評估「新產品定義與定位」的衡量架構與指標，並進行整體與跨公司之各因素指標權重比較，期望結果可提供台灣自有品牌手機業者一個可遵循的「新產品定義與定位評估架構」以及可了解企業本身對新產品注重之重點的具體新產品管理方法；本研究方法為整合專家訪談、學者文獻和產業研究報告，建立「新產品定義與定位評估架構」，並使用層級分析法(AHP)將架構因素設計成問卷，請五家公司各一位有權決定新產品全面發展與否的高層主管，依據過去新產品專案管理經驗透過因素之兩兩比較，得到各層級之各因素在企業做新產品評估時的權重。 研究結果發現台灣自有品牌手機公司在第一層級指標中首重「新產品市場潛力與需求確認」與「新產品策略發展競爭分析」，並對「新產品技術開發與設計可行性」最不重視；策略夥伴(通路商/電信商)商品趨勢預測、新產品推出市場後的獨特性與優越性、機構與ID(工業)設計能力、新手機專案如期完成，都是第二層最被重視的指標；現有產品線之影響、目標市場銷售成長潛力、功能需求等則為第三層企業評估重點。 本研究相信新產品之表現好壞不僅是上市之行銷企劃結果，更來自於最起始新產品初生時企業所做的規劃階段與前置工作品質，透過「新產品定義與定位評估架構」將專家在做決策時的內隱經驗與知識作架構化，更透過層級分析法(AHP)的量化分析找出各指標權重，以客觀周延架構與具體權重改善決策者過去依主觀經驗決策情形，並提供企業一套有效產出「新產品定義與定位」的思考過程，更可進一步作為最佳成功率方案選擇的新產品管理方法。 / With rapid leaps in technology, product life cycle has been shortened in the past several years. Responding to this change some firms tried to simplify the preceding operation in the planning stage of the new product development process in order to speed up the lead time for launching new product. However some academic researches point out that the fewer firms do in the beginning stage of new product development process, the higher failure risk firms will take finally. For considering the importance of the start stage of new product development process, this thesis focuses on how to plan a new product properly and effectively. This thesis divides the new product development process into two parts. One is the former phase including “discovery stage”, ”scoping stage”, and “build business case stage”. The other is the later phase covering “development stage ”,”testing and validation stage”, and “launch stage ”.The Scholar, Robert G. Cooper(2000) created a method to manage the whole process called “stage－gate”. He mentioned “gate three” played a meaningful role between former and later phase because firms have to make commitment to the new product and put in real resources after former phase. In other words, “gate three” plays a role as a serious gatekeeper to make sure a well-defined and clearly-positioned new product. The definition and position of the new product is the output of former phase and means “gate three”. To have a sound definition and position of the new product, this thesis suggests a framework involved in all factors that are under consideration in former phase. Firms could adopt the framework when they have to create or evaluate a new product. This thesis also suggests that following the framework to evaluate a new product could be more objective and easily-obeyed, and most importantly lower the failure risk of the new product. This thesis takes “Taiwanese own brand company” as the object of study is because it is more feasible to contact with the core of the people who are the decision maker of a new product. Mobile phones are suitable to be the product of the study on account of facing the intense pressure from product life cycle shortened and high changing usage rate. Moreover this thesis chooses a fresh and novel product for consumers and firms, “smart phone”, as the target product. The purpose of this thesis is to know more how “new product development process” being implemented in Taiwanese own brand company, collect the factors considered in the process, and organize all the factors in a hierarchy framework. This framework works as a guidebook to evaluate new product definition and positioning. The method used in this thesis can provide more information such as quantification of importance percentage of some indexes. This study recommends that firms revise and adjust the percentages by comparing each other within five companies separately. To set up “ the new product definition and positioning evaluative framework ”, this research integrates the expert opinions of interviews with professors, academic researches, and industrial research reports. The concept of questionnaire is based on “Analytical Hierarchy Process, AHP” and designed for continually comparing the importance of different two factors for calculating the importance percentage. The people answering questionnaire are the senior managers who are responsible for making final decision and decide a new product is qualified for “gate three” and enter “development stage”. This thesis believes a successful performance of a new product launch is partly based on the marketing communication plan but mainly comes from an entire consideration of new product plan in the beginning of the process. By way of evaluating the definition and positioning of new product with hierarchy framework, helps decision maker to remove subjective opinion and conclude the decision more objectively. The most important contributions of this study are not only transferring latent thinking process to a easily-followed framework and output meaningful quantification importance percentage, but also the percentage can further be used to calculate points for choosing the best-fit new product on the selecting list. The thesis hopes the process of this research method to be a good new product management method and improve the success of new product development effectively.

住宅價格，在自由市場機制的放任下不斷攀升，政府以「分開計價」策略介入市場，揭露產權分配資訊，目的在保障消費者，避免購置過多的「虛坪」，並降低住宅價格負擔。本文試圖從產權分配的基本面，以「分開計價」政策，來探討房價與「虛坪」之間的關係問題，不同以往文獻以政治、社會與經濟面來分析高房價問題。如何分開、如何計價、又何謂虛坪，為本文研究動機。 如何分開產權的研究顯示，「專有部分」與「共有部分」需有合理規劃原則，方能免於購置虛坪。其方法宜採用「共有部分」五項目分配法，將共有部分之小公共設施、大公共設施、機車位、車道與車位分別單獨登記建號，再依主建物比例來合理分配共有部分；應禁止使用之分配規劃方式分別為：(1)地上層與地下層二分法、(2)各棟小公混合後再分配法、(3)機房併入主建物分法。 如何分開計價的推演方法顯示，除分析階層程序法不適用外，其建築體積成本法、蒐集與檢驗市場法，都在可接受範圍內。研究也顯示，虛坪雨遮准予登記但不予計價，符合市場、供給成本與需求認知。此外，僅以主建物計價，符合需求者的期待，並與國外僅以「專有部分」計價概念相符，資料顯示，國外不動產每單位的價格，乘上72.86%後為本國價格，此結果將可降低研究國內外不動產價格比較上的估價誤差。因此，產權「主建物比」較「公設比」資訊的揭露，更能避免購置過多「虛坪」，降低住宅價格負擔。 / The government adapts a policy of “separated prices in property rights” to reveal the secrets under distribution planning of property right, aiming to protect consumer from buying too much” virtual property rights” and in order to reduce housing burden. This study starts from a fundamental aspect in distribution planning of property rights to figure out the relationship between housing prices and virtual property rights, which is different from the political, social, and economical-based in history dissertations. Motivations of this study are to analyze what virtual property is and to explain how to separate and count the price of property. This research indicates that property distribution should be reasonably arranged in private units and public elements. Thus, problem of virtual property rights is avoided. The distribution method is followed: The entire public property rights should be detailed separately planning as an individual public facilities, large public facilities, motorbike parking, car parking, and basement driveway to the ground floor’s area. Completely inappropriate approaches are to merely separate on the floor or the basement space, and the machine room belongs to main building. Except analytical hierarchy process method, cost approach of building volume method and collect-check method are appropriate in applying separated prices in property rights. Moreover, the virtual property rights of rain cover cannot be charged but be registered. It corresponds with the situation of market pricing, supply costs and demand. The concept of charging merely in main private units reaches the expectation of the demanders, which equals to the foreign concept. According to data, in Taiwan, per unit real estate price is 72.86% times to foreign one. This result will reduce the mistakes of estimation in comparing prices. Consequently, the more information about ratio of main private units is revealed than public elements one , the less expense consumers have to face.

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.

Förbättring av cykling som hållbart transportmedel kräver skräddarsydda transportsystem. Svenska kommuner, som Vänersborgs, har påbörjat implementering av cykelplaner vid planering av infrastruktur. Med kommunens samtida mål om att öka invånarantalet från 39 000 till 50 000, är planens mål och riktlinjer för att utveckla ett högkvalitativt, säkert cykelvägnät som kopplar samman viktiga målpunkter och minskar olyckor. Denna avhandling utvärderar säkerheten och tillgängligheten över gång- och cykelvägnätet till skolor inom Vänersborgs kommun med hjälp av GIS-analyser, där fokus riktar mot barn i åldrarna 7–15 år, men även säkerheten över totala gång- och cykelvägnätet utvärderas. Studieområdet inkluderar Vänersborgs centrum, Öxnered och Vargön. Multikriterieanalys (Analytisk Hierarkisk Process) metoder med kombination av nätverksanalys användes för att bedöma GC-nätets säkerhet och tillgänglighet. Experter viktade olika kriterier för säkerhet, vilket ledde till säkerhetsklassificering i ArcGIS Pro. Inkluderade kategorier var Mycket god, god, mindre god och låg. Nätverksanalysen i ArcGIS Pro prioriterade rutter via gång- och cykelvägnätet och förbjöd rutter att färdas längs vägar med hastigheter över 80 km/h, med hjälp av verktyget Closest facility för att planera rutter till skolan och undersöka tillgängligheten. Resultaten visade att 48.33% av det totala GC-nätet klassificerades som mycket god, 1.89% som god, 26.14% mindre god och 23.64% som låg. Nätverksanalysen indikerade en tillgänglighet till skolor uppnår 73.98%. Trots en signifikant andel av GC-nätet uppnår mycket god säkerhetsnivå, noterades brister, specifikt vid mer urbana områden där vissa segment klassas som mindre god och låg. Sammantaget visar avhandlingen att medan GC-nätet generellt uppnår god säkerhet och tillgänglighet, förekommer märkbara brister. Att se över och eventuellt åtgärda dessa brister skulle främja utvecklingen av cyklandet i Vänersborgs kommun. / Enhancing bicycling as a sustainable transportation mode requires tailored transportation systems. Swedish municipalities such as Vänersborg are integrating bicycling into infrastructure planning. The municipality's aims to grow the population from 39,000 to 50,000, the plan aims to develop a high-quality, safe bicycle network connecting key destinations and reducing accidents. This thesis evaluates the safety and accessibility of the bicycle network to schools within Vänersborg municipality using GIS-based analyses, focusing on children aged 7 to 15, while also evaluating the safety of the total network. The study area includes Vänersborgcity center, Öxnered, and Vargön. Multi-Criteria Decision Making (Analytical Hierarchy Process) approaches coupled with network analysis were utilized to assess the network's security and accessibility. Experts weighted different security criteria, leading to a safety classification in ArcGIS Pro. Categories included very good, good, not so good, and low. The Network analysis in ArcGIS Pro prioritized bicycle routes and restricted roads with speed limits over 80 km/h, using the Closest Facility tool to route school access. The results indicated that 48.33% of the network was classified as very good, 1.89% asgood, 26.14% as not so good, and 23.64% as low. The network analysis indicated a 73.98% accessibility coverage to schools. Despite a significant portion of the network achieving a very good safety level, deficiencies were noted, particularly in urban areas where some sections were rated as not so good and low. Overall, the thesis reveals that while the bicycle network generally achieves good security and accessibility, there are notable shortcomings. Addressing these gaps is crucial for Vänersborg's efforts to promote cycling and support population growth.

台北市自民國72年起，公佈實施土地使用分區管制規則以來，至今已十幾年，但對於住宅區之環境品質並無明顯改善，反而突顯實施土地使用分區之分組及允許使用組別的問題，究其原因，是法規制定太偏於混合使用及允許使用組別太多。尤其附條件允許組別更為嚴重，幾乎與商業區差不多，而其中產生一些行業別與住宅不相容的情形。 有鑑於此，本研究乃期望透過混合使用相關研究回顧遴選出適當之評估指標項目，再收集專家學者對評估指標之意見，進行修正所遴選之評估指標，作為混合使用環境品質之評估基礎。在其中發現混合使用評估指標相對權重以「守望相助與警衛」權重最大、其次是「購物方便性」、第三為「餐飲方便性」。而「垃圾收集」與「污水排放問題」之小指標相對權重較小。由此不難理解，在專家的觀念裡混合使用之居住環境需以居住安全性之「守望相助與警衛」為第一考量，然後才能考慮混合使用生活之便利性。 由以上所建構之評估指標，經收集居民的意見與專家之賦予權重之後，經整理計算後，所得到評估指數正負得知，混合使用環境品質評估指標中以「寧便居住環境」、「公共安全」之指數呈現正值，而「環境污染公害」為負值，將其大指標之指數加總，發現總值為正數，得知混合使用之居住環境可能是好處多於壞處。 得知評估指標之指數大小之後，筆者再建立相容性行業別操作方式，進行計算行業別之評估指數大小，並建立數學模式，發現行業別之指數總和越大，代表居民與專家愈能接受該行業。負面值越大表示排斥性越大。同時可理解相容性越高之行業對環境影響越少，且對生活機能幫助越大。進而可透過行業別之排序，依混合使用環境品質需求，再訂定不同混合標準，以塑造不同等級之居住環境。 另在新、舊地區之實證過程中得知；混合使用的行業會因道路寬度、區位而有不同混合比例，其中立體混合也與平面混合成正相關。而從實際新、舊地區之業種調查發現，在大安區之業種是屬於都市型，而在萬華區之業種是屬於鄰里型。 綜合言之；本研究透過相關理論回顧與分析，所建立住宅區土地混合使用之評估指標，作為相容性之行業別判斷依據。在其中發現行業別之相容性，可依本研究所擬之評估指標判斷業別對居住環境的影響情形，同時可透指數分析再訂定業種相容性標準，而進行衡量評估指標與行業別之相關性計算。尤其在行業別設立時，將可能對住宅使用產生正面或負面影響情形，以指標的方式表達；如行業別是否產生噪音振動、垃圾處理方式、停車問題、空氣污染..等等問題，儘可能再設有評估標準。待相容性行業別執行一段時間後，依執行情形來修正評估標準，以利後續土地混合使用業種相容性之參考。 / Since the announcement and execution of the Zoning Act of Taipei Metropolitan in 1983, there is no obvious improvement on the living quality in the residential areas. Conversely, there are some issues on the usage classification and permitted usage categories. After further research, it’s found that the Zoning Act biased on the mixed-use, which permitted too much usage in one category. The most serious one was the permitted usage in its appendix, which made the usage of residential area almost the same as the commercial area. After researching on the related documents on mixed-use, the study emerged the appropriate evaluation indicators. Then collecting the experts’ comments, the study modified evaluation indicators accordingly, which formed the bases of environmental evaluation of mixed-use. In between, the relative importance of top three indicators was ranked as “residents’ mutual help and guard”, “shopping convenience” and “dinning convenience”. Both “trash collection” and “waste water manipulation” were less concerned. It understandable that in experts’ concepts, the residential safety was the first consideration then the living convenience. Based on the above evaluation indicators and collected comments from the residents and experts, the study came out the positive and negative values of evaluation indicators. The “quiescence and convenience of living environment” and “public safety” were positive value but “environmental pollution” was negative value. Summing up the big indicators, the value was positive which meant people possibly evaluated highly on the mixed-use in the residential environment. Understanding the importance of indicators, the study rebuilt the operation model for compatible businesses, which calculated the values of business evaluation indicators and built mathematical model. Then the study found out that the greater positive values of summed up indicators, the more representative residents and experts accepted the business. The greater the negative value, the more exclusivity represented. More compatible businesses would less impact the environment but enhance the living functionality. Ranking the business sequences according to the needs of environmental quality in mixed-use, we could build up different grades of living environments by setting up different mixed-use standards. It was proven from the study on the new and old residential areas that the mixed-use ratio of businesses would be differed by the width of road and location in which vertical and horizontal mixed-use are positively related. From the field study, the businesses in Ta-An district belonged to the metropolitan type but those in Wan-Hua district belonged to the tithing type. In summary, the study went through the review and analysis of related thesis then built the evaluation indicators for mixed-use in residential area, which in turn were the bases to identify the businesses compatibility. Utilizing the evaluation indicators, we could identify the business compatibility and its impact on the living environment. Simultaneously, through indicator analysis, new business compatibility could be redefined and evaluate the relationship between evaluation indicators and business relativity. Especially for the business category, which would heavily impact the environment, the indicators could be identified as, e.g., voice and vibration pollution, trash manipulation, parking issue, air pollution...which needed more evaluation standards. After some time of execution, the results could be used to modify the evaluation standard, which would be the reference for the succeeding study of land mixed-use.
