Hostels are a product of the migrant labour system that originated in the copper mining industry in Namaqualand in the 1850s. The migrant labour compounds were used to accommodate migrant labour workers in the urban areas. However, these compounds also meant that migrant labour workers were denied the right of access to permanent accommodation and residential space in the urban areas. After the repeal of the influx control and segregative laws in South Africa in 1986, some of the hostel dwellers brought their relatives and friends to live in the hostels and this resulted in problems such as overcrowding which were exacerbated by poor management and control of the hostels. The living conditions of the hostel dwellers deteriorated during the 1990s. After the announcement of the unbanning of all liberation movements and political parties in South Africa in the 1990s, hostel violence broke out. This hostel violence left many hostel blocks vandalised and without basic municipal services such as electricity, water and waste removal. The hostel violence was primarily between the Inkata Freedom Party (IFP) aligned hostel dwellers and the African National Congress (ANC) aligned township and informal settlement residents. The hostel violence has catalysed the public housing challenges faced by the democratic government since its inception in 1994. Nevertheless, since 1994 the democratic government has introduced various housing programmes in an effort to provide adequate houses for all South African citizens. One such housing programme is the hostel redevelopment programme. The hostel redevelopment programme was adopted by the democratic government after 1994 with the aim of, among other things, upgrading public hostels, redeveloping and converting the rooms in public hostels into family rental units in order to improve the living conditions of the hostel dwellers and introducing hostel dwellers to family life. The Mogale City Local Municipality (MCLM) is one of the municipalities in Gauteng province that is participating in the hostel redevelopment programme. The findings of this study have revealed that the upgrading of the Kagiso hostel involved the following two processes: During the first process, the MCLM upgraded the Kagiso hostel by fixing broken windows and doors, repairing toilets and providing basic municipal services such as electricity, water, and waste removal in order to improve the living conditions of the hostel dwellers. The second process involved demolishing the hostel blocks and converting them into family units in order to address the public housing challenges relevant to the Kagiso hostel. In this study, the hostel redevelopment programme is called process 1 and the community residential units (CRU) programme is called process 2. / Public Administration & Management / M. Tech.

Inom ramarna för det systemet ska en nätbaserad utbildning tas fram. En framgångsrik nätbaserad utbildning för en hållbar besöksnäring ställer höga krav. Dels på det didaktiska planet, dvs hur struktureringen och planeringen av lärandet ska gå till, och dels på det organisatoriska planet, dvs hur en utbildning bäst bör föras in på ett företag. Syftet med denna studie är att öka förståelsen för vilka aspekter som är viktiga att ta hänsyn till vid framtagandet av en nätbaserad utbildning för en hållbar besöksnäring. Undersökningen genomfördes på tre vandrarhem i Stockholm med omnejd. Både verksamhetschefer och personal deltog i undersökningen. Verksamhetscheferna intervjuades och fick svar på frågor i en enkät. Personal deltog i en workshop. Resultatet pekar på att en utbildning behövs för att kvalitetssystemet ska lyckas. Efteratt resultatet presenterats följer en analys och diskussion varifrån ett antal slutsatser och rekommendationer härleds för en lyckad utveckling av en nätbaserad utbildning inom kvalitet och hållbarhet för vandrahem. Dessa lyder i sin sammanfattning att: Utbildningen bör innehålla en till stor del sociala moment utbildningen bör främja kritisk reflektion i samarbete med andraUtbildningen bör vara ytterst relevant för varje deltagare Det ska finnas en gemensam del som är lika för alla i kvalitetssystemet Ett gott ledarskap är av yttersta vikt vid införandet Utbildningen bör åtföljas av tillräckling implementeringsinformation Ett nätbaserat forum bör upprättas som komplement till utbildningen

La presente tesis se enfoca en tres problemáticas que se observan actualmente en el entorno del Instituto Nacional de Salud del Niño, primeramente la necesidad de un albergue para los padres de familia de los niños de provincia que reciben atención en este nosocomio; en segundo lugar los mercados en estado de emergencia que se ubican, en gran número, en los alrededores del hospital, y por último la falta de espacio público que presenta el distrito de Breña según las últimas encuestas realizadas en el distrito. Todo esto lleva a unir dos tipologías, el albergue y el mercado, para lo cual se han investigado iniciativas relacionadas al comercio del reciclaje de donaciones que actualmente se están desarrollando en la ciudad de Lima. Al generar este vínculo comercial entre ambas tipologías se logra un beneficio común para la coexistencia de ambos. Así se logra utilizar el proyecto arquitectónico como foco de desarrollo en un entorno urbano con una problemática muy particular en la ciudad. / This thesis focuses on three problems that are currently observed in the context of the Instituto Nacional de Salud del Niño, firstly the necessity for a shelter for parents of childrens from province who receive care in this hospital; secondly, the markets in a state of emergency that are located, in large numbers, around the hospital, and finally the lack of public space in Breña, according to the latest surveys conducted in the district. All this brings together two typologies, the shelter and the market, for which initiatives related to the donation recycling trade that are currently being developed in the city of Lima have been investigated. By generating this commercial link between the two typologies, a common benefit is achieved for the coexistence of both. Thus, the architectural project is used as a focus of development in an urban environment with a very particular problem in the city. / Tesis
