Denna uppsats behandlar innerstadens kajer i Stockholm. Syftet är att analysera hur innerstadens kajer fungerar som offentliga rum och hur de uppfattas av stadens invånare. Källmaterialet består till stor del av plandokument samt av intervjuer med både tjänstemän och stadens invånare.  En fallstudie vid en av innerstadens kajer har genomförts för att på ett tydligare sätt förstå kajernas dynamik. Resultaten från uppsatsen visar att planeringen kring kajområdena är splittrad och uppdelad mellan många olika instanser. Denna uppdelning tycks ge kajerna dess fysiska och psykiska utseende som antingen uppskattas eller ogillas av stadens invånare. Som offentliga rum fungerar kajerna på flera sätt, bland annat finns en osäkerhet och en kamp om rummet vilket skapar en dynamik som gör platserna levande och fungerande.

For the current trend of global planning and management, free trade port district can help industries to manage global marketing. In the meantime, it can develop economics and also enterprises. Taiwan government promote the policy of free trade port district in order to cooperate the project:¡¨Challenge 2008¡GGovernment Development Plan¡]2002¡Ð2007¡^¡v. To use Taiwan¡¦s location and also manufacturing advantage, the government set into the free trade port district policy which can develop international physical distribution business. The free trade port district of Kaohsiung harbor has been started since Jan 2005. There are automatically security system, information platform which can connected all computers from related departments. In this research, we found there are still some problems such as no suffice space or difficulty to extend which caused limitation for new enterprises or industries. A lot of problems which cased the difficulty for scale economy and cybotaxis benefit. Kaohsiung harbor hope to be the pivot of physical distribution in Asia so it should continue to develop space and cooperate the needs from enterprises or industries. To keep improve the laws and regulations in order to smooth all operations procedure in Kaohsiung harbor. From this paper, it can be reference for free trade port district development strategy.

Each architectural exploration requires grounding. This body of work begins with an interest in that which made historical settlements authentic to a place. The thesis is focused first and foremost on the single most predictable, yet varying influence. The sun which acts as a clock, a calendar, and source of energy, has shaped architecture for thousands of years and should be considered with far greater attention in the future, both experientially but also thermally as source of energy. The proposal for an artist studio located on the Northumberland Straight in Nova Scotia will require an acute relation to the light and solar energy which the sun has to offer. The studio will attempt to function as a self sufficient working space in the landscape, using the resources locally available. As sole users, each artist will shape the habitable space based on specific needs, while continually keeping in mind that which drives the form, light, heat and energy. / How can the Solar Cycles of light and temperature inform a method of design, which allows the architecture to reflect the patterns of the sun?

For generations of Mi’kmaq from Pictou Landing First Nation, A’se’k (often referred to as Boat Harbour) provided cultural, recreation, and livelihood functions. For almost 50 years, this once-healthy tidal estuary has been receiving effluent from a nearby bleached kraft pulp mill. This study was carried out in partnership with the Pictou Landing Native Women’s Association, and sought to collect stories of A’se’k from Knowledge Holders who remember it as a healthy, thriving, culturally significant community place. Using a narrative approach of restorying, the historical importance of and changes to A’se’k are illuminated through the voices of Mi’kmaq who have lived the experiences. Their stories further highlight the ongoing environmental, health, and social injustices faced by Indigenous peoples, shaped by the many complex dimensions of colonialism and racism in Canada. Through a reflexive examination of my experiences as a non-Indigenous graduate student navigating the research landscape, this study also highlights a process of learning to be an ally alongside Indigenous partners. Together, these findings suggest the need to restory Canada’s (ongoing) colonial legacy, through community-based processes, in order to move towards ending colonial structures.
