A análise se pauta nos recursos não reembolsáveis aplicados pelas Agências de Financiamento vinculadas ao MCTI - a Financiadora de Estudos e Projetos (Finep) e o Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico (CNPq). Foram verificados os projetos contratados que tiveram a participação de empresas: projetos cooperativos, isto é, projetos realizados por instituições de ciência e tecnologia (ICTs) em parceria com empresas e projetos de subvenção direta. Os resultados encontrados e analisados baseiam-se nas informações divulgadas pelo MCTI, para o período 1999 - 2012, e que foram estruturadas em uma nova base de dados. Os projetos cooperativos foram selecionados segundo a presença de "intervenientes", como são conhecidos os parceiros das ICTs na linguagem dos contratos. No caso da subvenção, também foram selecionados e analisados os projetos contratados. Para o desenvolvimento deste trabalho, foram revisados diversos estudos presentes na literatura especializada, documentos oficiais das Agências públicas de financiamento e do próprio MCTI e demais trabalhos coletados em mídias eletrônicas. Foram levantados dados e informações estatísticas em documentos disponibilizados pela Finep e na pesquisa de inovação tecnológica (Pintec/IBGE), em suas várias edições. Os avanços na Política de CT&I foram significativos desde a reforma do final dos anos 90, mas conclui-se que a participação das empresas no acesso aos recursos não reembolsáveis foi bastante modesta, no período analisado. Apesar do volume expressivo de projetos contratados nos últimos 13 anos, foram poucos os projetos cooperativos e de subvenção financiados com recursos dos fundos setoriais - pouco mais de 2.000. Na maioria dos casos, os fundos setoriais foram pouco explorados para apoiar projetos de maior envergadura e promover a parceria ICT-empresa. Nesse sentido, não houve mudança expressiva na lógica de aplicação dos recursos do FNDCT / Abstract: The aim of this study is to analyze whether the entry of firms in the Science and Technology System, starting from policy reform under the Ministry of Science and Technology (now Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation - MCTI), has resulted in changes in the logic application of resources of the National Fund for Scientific and Technological Development (FNDCT). The analysis is related to non-refundable resources applied by funding agencies linked to the MCTI - the Financier of Studies and Projects (FINEP) and the National Council for Scientific and Technological Development (CNPq). Only contracted projects which involved the participation of firms were analyzed: cooperative projects, i.e., projects conducted by institutions of science and technology (ICT) in partnership with firms and projects that had received direct subvention. The findings are based on information released by MCTI for the period 1999-2012, which were analyzed and structured into a new database. Cooperative projects were selected according to the presence of "intervening" as the partners of ICT are known in the language of contracts. The projects of subvention were also selected and analyzed according to the contracts. In order to develop this work several studies were reviewed from the literature, official documents of public funding agencies and MCTI, as well other collected papers in electronic media. The data and statistical information were collected in documents available by FINEP and other sources, such as technological innovation survey (Pintec/IBGE), in their several editions. The advances in Science, Technology and Innovation Policy (PCTI) were meaningful since the reform occurred in the late 90s, nevertheless the involvement of firms in accessing non-refundable resources was quite limited in the analyzed period. Despite the significant amount of contracted projects in the last 13 years, the amount of cooperative and subvention projects financed with resources from the sectorial funds were unimpressive - just over 2.000. In most cases, sectorial funds have been poorly explored to support larger projects and promote ICT-firms partnership. As a result, there was no significant change in the logic application of resources of FNDCT / Mestrado / Politica Cientifica e Tecnologica / Mestra em Política Científica e Tecnológica

Institutional investors and corporates are constantly looking to achieve double digit yields in relation to investments in traditional real estate assets. With retail, office and residential property under pressure the study set out to determine how hotels perform compared to traditional property investment asset classes in terms of investment yields during different stages of the property cycle, and whether investors (property developers and institutional investment funds) are considering the hospitality sector for investment or diversification of current portfolios. Furthermore, to determine how aligned the commercial banks, Development Funding Institutions (DFI) and Section 12J funds are with funding single hotel assets versus portfolio lending, and what their requirements are. As an exploratory study, interviews were conducted to obtain in- depth and rich information from purposively selected respondents with experience in the sector after completing a preparatory questionnaire. Respondents included property developers, investors, financiers, tour operators and hotel operators. Results confirmed that both developers and investment funds are indeed considering hotels as an alternative investment since the yields are favourable when compared to other asset classes, yet with a longer investment horizon. Hotels required time to stabilise and at this point an expected yield should be higher than 12.5% which is higher than initial yields for traditional commercial properties. Historically, hotels investors were very specific in their investment asset classes and usually purely focused on hospitality assets (specialist investors). This has now changed with an increase in generalist investors coming to the market with exposure in a diversity of asset classes including the hospitality sector. Funding challenges, due to the operational risk associated with Hotel Management Agreements (HMA) is perceived by both financiers and developers or investors. Leases are the preferred income model but are seldom available in the hospitality sector and often those that are made available, may not provide the strong covenants required by financiers and developers/investors. Alternative funding is available in the form of Section 12J VCC’s or from DFI’s but both have their limitations as became apparent in the results. Recommendations for further research include funding challenges for a development or acquisition strategy at a single asset and portfolio level, and expansion to Sub-Saharan Africa as it impacts many investors and international hotels brands with exposure in these regions. / Dissertation (MSc (Real Estate))--University of Pretoria, 2021. / Construction Economics / MSc (Real Estate) / Unrestricted

The cultural relics represent an integral part of the tourism that has become a global phenomenon in the recent years. The influence of the the cultural monuments over the region can be examined through the tourism. Every year a large amount of money is spent on the restoration and care of the cultural monuments therefore a part of the thesis deals with the development of the funds provided by the Vysočina Region during 2004 - 2009. The thesis is particularly focused on the current state analysis of the cultural relics situated in the Jihlavsko microregion. The analysis is implemented from the perspective of the town Jihlava citizens and the mayors of selected member municipalities situated in the Jihlavsko microregion. The town Jihlava takes pride in a large number of religious monuments therefore especially a cognitive tourism prevails here. The questionary survey examined the satisfaction of the town Jihlava citizens with the cultural monuments state and the services related to the tourism. The graphic and verbal comments were used by the evaluation of the survey. The thesis also includes the analysis of the strategic document called "The Microregion Jihlavsko Strategy of Development".

The aim of this thesis is the specification and analysis of aspects of human resources and their culture, and the impact on quality of life and stabilization in selected municipality with the suggests possible improvement the current state. The theoretical part deals with rural development and population stabilization. In the practical part is the current state of the village Dunajovice in South Bohemia being analyzed.
