Abstraction In the trend of global labor flexibility, traditional concept of Lifelong Employ System is faint gradually. At the same time it arouse the rise of temporary work style. In 1965 dispatched employment has come into being in Japan. In research of American Temporary Assistance Service Association in 1996, there are about 90% companies which were employing employees of Atasa. On the other hand, in the course of economic development in Taiwan, traditional manufacturing industry controls management cost. And big corporations upstream externalize statutory responsibility and duty. From the beginning of eighties, employees have been requiring the most flexibility in arranging work time and style, and give stuff right of lawsuit(¸gÀÙ³¡°Ó·~¥q)also confirm dispatched employment and pass that enterprise can register as her dealing item. It¡¦s not hard to see that domestic dispatched employment is developing actively with global trend. The arrangement of research chapters and sections as follow: The first chapter is introduction. To analyze research purposes and problems to be solved in research motives and background, planning research construction. The second is investigation of documents. To sum up the research tied to the thesis and understand facts of labor and capital respectively in relative internal and foreign research, taking it as questionnaire design¡¦s reference base. The third is research design. First to analyze other relative research¡¦s method and then to show design way that the research use is questionnaire investigation. The fourth is data analysis, to analyze and settle data of recovered questionnaire .The fifth is conclusion and suggestion. As for the research data, to sort out research discovery and take it as conclusion This research shows that management and administration fundamental function of the principal staff has a great scale in whole, while that of the classification of research and development design is the highest. As for the present needs of personnel dispatch in our country, routine work in the main dispatched employment content. And has little effect on the work arrangement between principal staff and dispatched worker. Using dispatched worker is mainly to lighten the expenditure of multinomial personnel costs and reduce the cost of personnel administrative management, secondarily to lighten the burden of dispatched employment cost and retired pay. The company is not very strict with the dispatched worker on establishing customer relationship actively the secret level in business and the item degree. The dispatching user acts as the main decider of dispatch work and the dispatching work agency must asset the company on legal liability distribution, vacation, salary and work rule. Besides dispatch law has some disadvantages, we often meet with these problems in using dispatched worker: high flow ability, bad quality and insufficient training. To solve these problems, dispatching user, work agency and worker need to make joint efforts.

Temporary uses generally have a low profile in urban planning; there is not much research on them at this time and they are not a conventional tool within planners’ “tool kits.” The purpose of this practicum is to explore the effectiveness of temporary uses as tools for reanimating underutilized spaces and supporting strong urban design, especially in a slow growth city like Winnipeg. The argument put forward is that a better understanding of temporary uses and how they can be encouraged will make planning and design in downtown Winnipeg more flexible and adaptable to changing urban conditions while making better use of available space. The objectives of this research are to provide an overview of contemporary theory and practices regarding the temporary use of urban spaces; to develop recommendations for encouraging effective temporary use in Winnipeg; and to highlight gaps in the literature and to suggest directions for further research. Specific questions are asked regarding the claimed benefits and drawbacks to temporary uses of space, regarding the applicability of experiences in other cities to Winnipeg’s planning context, and regarding changes that could be make to Winnipeg’s policies practice in order to support and encourage a wider range temporary use projects. Several research methods, including a literature review, precedent studies, context analysis and policy document review, and stakeholder consultations, provide information to help develop eight recommendations suggesting improvements that could be made to the way in which temporary use projects are currently handled in Winnipeg.

Architecture has always been associated with the qualities of permanence and timelessness. The thesis investigates the notions of temporality and permanence in relation to the built environment. It recognizes that in the ever changing dynamic flux of the built environment, there is an architectural paradigm which is as important as the imagined timeless structures that constitute the architectural discourse.First, the notions of permanence are discussed. It is pointed out that what is considered to be permanent in architecture is, in fact, the `image' of the building, and not the actual structure as it constantly changing, deteriorating, and undergoing metamorphosis with time. The second part deals with the constructs of time and space through history; resultant architectural theories and its effects on the built environment.An attempt to understand the history of temporary architectures is made in the third part. Further analysis draws on the understanding of the difference in the western and the eastern perspective on temporary architecture. In the fourth part it is argued that there are alternative ways of looking at temporary architectures that need to be addressed. One of the ways of looking at them is how they affect the urban and the public realm.The fifth part of the thesis, discusses the various meanings of urban space and the formation of the public realm. The contrasting examples of the transforming urban space in Ahmadabad, India and San Francisco, USA give an insight of the ways temporary architectures can assist in the ever changing urban environment.The sixth part proposes a diagram of taxonomical organization through which temporary architecture(s) can be better understood; namely as `temporary structures',' temporary spaces', `temporary uses/users' and the resulting `temporary urbanisms.'The concluding chapter finally discusses the importance of recognizing this void in our understanding of temporary architecture; as also realizing their importance in creation of a successful urban realm. / Department of Architecture
