This study is about archaeological knowledge production. It is also about what kind of impact such knowledge may have on an antiquarian/archaeological practice as well as on society as a whole. The work focuses broadly on Stone Age archaeology and specifically on the middle-Mesolithic Age in the county of Blekinge in the South East of Sweden. Until the late 1990’s, large-scale archaeological excavations in this region were rare. In particular, there were significant gaps in early- and middle-Mesolithic archaeology of other regions. In particular, the study brings up the relationship with the defined Kongemose culture's settlements in Southern Scandinavia. From a knowledge perspective the study discusses how different kinds of methodological practices are important for both archaeology and society, to be able to see and understand a more complete historical picture. Based on this, the focus shifts the role of museums within regional archaeology. The study here argues for a more strategically executed dissemination and presentation of archaeological knowledge towards different stakeholders.

This thesis processes of basic terms related to the real estate market and real estate sales. The thesis gives an overview of the segments related to real estate economics and the real estate markets in the area of Třeboňsko with the focus on private recreational properties, too. The area of interest is divided to the Lomnice nad Lužnicí, Třeboň, Chlum u Třeboně and Suchdol nad Lužnicí municipalities in order to describe the natural, urban planning and technical aspects. Representatives from each segment were chosen to be examined closely and compared with the others. The thesis also describes the current trends in the real estate market of recreational properties.

This place is one of the main recreation and leisure areas of the city, formed by six kilometres of waterfront, corresponding to a differentiated area through the coast. This space has beach huts with varied profiles: while some more simple huts persist, great complexes are being developed, building even water parks on the beach area. This study analyses relations between:i) spatial configuration (in geometric and mainly topological terms) based on the Social Logic of Space; ii) edified typology (analysing capacity, landscap treatment and program of the huts); and iii) use and environmental perception of the beach by its frequenters. There are consistent relations between the type of hut and their localization in the urban grid, of which were identified groups with different patterns: segregated (north, central and south) and integrated (north: more integrated. and south: less integrated). Such relations also reflect, in varied patterns of use and environmental perception. In spite of their strong economy, the beach huts find themselves in a fragile legal situation because they occupy the beach area, so that this study may come to assist the decision-making for the future of the region. For a sustainable development of the area by those responsible and managers it is necessary to evaluate the cultural importance of the huts at Praia do Futuro, understanding their occupation and uses. / O objetivo dessa disserta??o ? analisar a import?ncia das barracas da Praia do Futuro para os usu?rios e para a cidade de Fortaleza no Cear? por meio da compreens?o de rela??es entre categorias morfol?gicas no contexto urbano e edil?cio dos estabelecimentos e seus padr?es de uso. O local ? uma das principais ?reas de recrea??o e lazer da cidade, formado por seis quil?metros de orla, que corresponde a uma ?rea especializada ao longo da costa. Neste espa?o existem barracas de praia com perfis variados: enquanto algumas mais simples persistem, grandes complexos v?o se desenvolvendo, chegando a construir parques aqu?ticos em faixa de praia. O estudo entende rela??es entre: i) configura??o do espa?o (em termos geom?tricos e, principalmente topol?gicos) analisado com base na L?gica Social do Espa?o; ii) tipologia edil?cia (an?lise de porte, tratamento paisag?stico e programa das barracas); e iii) uso e percep??o ambiental da praia por seus frequentadores. Verifica-se haver rela??es consistentes entre o tipo da barraca e a sua localiza??o na malha urbana, dos quais foram identificados grupos com diferentes padr?es: segregadas (norte, central e sul) e integradas (norte: mais integradas, e sul: menos integradas). Tais rela??es tamb?m repercutem, em variados padr?es de uso e percep??o ambiental. Apesar da sua for?a econ?mica as barracas se encontram em fr?gil situa??o jur?dica por ocuparem a faixa de praia, de modo que o estudo realizado pode vir a assessorar a tomada de decis?es para o futuro da ?rea. Para o desenvolvimento sustent?vel da ?rea por parte dos respons?veis e gestores ? necess?rio avaliar a import?ncia cultural das barracas da Praia do Futuro, entendendo sua ocupa??o e usos

The use of temporary, prefabricated buildings in Britain during the twentieth century arose from wartime need to provide better, and perhaps more importantly, portable shelter for troops and equipment. This thesis provides the first comprehensive list of hut designs for the First and Second World Wars. The full lists and descriptions of each hut are given in the appendices. These lists, 20 types for the First World War and 52 from the Second World War, show the huge range and scope of the huts used and is the major contribution of this thesis. The concentration here is on generic types. Some huts were designed as one-offs and there is no possible way to catalogue these. This thesis has focused instead on those designs or industrially-produced types, which were meant to be produced en-masse as generic solutions to the problem: the sort of hut that might justifiably be given a name (such as a ‘Tarran’, a ‘Seco’, etc.). This thesis provides essential information enabling historians to be able to identify these types. It uses primary and secondary sources to trace the development of these huts and the effect that wartime shortages had on their design. Beginning with the earliest examples of temporary military building, it then focuses on the huts of the First and Second World Wars followed by a study of huts grouped in chapters by material. This research shows that the wartime period pushed industry to make giant leaps forward with construction methods and materials in just a few short years, where otherwise it may have taken decades. This thesis aims to provide the first overview of this process and to enable future researchers to identify and understand the development of these important wartime structures, many of which survive to this day.
