Abstract Marine transportation is a crucial activity in the development of human civilization. Following the track of the history, the focus has been shifted not only on the safety of vessels, but the protection of the ocean environment and the keep of the working space and accommodation for crews. Therefore, the Port State Control (PSC) is getting popular around the world. This paper is trying to introduce the origin, contents, working scope of the Port State Control, and summarize the PSC executive condition of foreign countries, the local area MOU (Memorandum Of Understanding) organizations, the international marine organization, and the regulations of Port State Control. Based on the concept and spirit of Total Quality Control (TQM), i.e. PDCA (Plan, Do, Check, Action), the Port State Control (PSC) could be managed smoothly and efficiently, for either the Port State Control Officers (PSCOs) or the marine transportation. In this paper, we introduced the present condition of PSC of our country and the concept of PSC. And an ideal PSC flow chart has been proposed for the Kaohsiung Port and Taiwan, ROC. This thesis is proposing several substantial suggestions for the PSC in Taiwan, ROC. For fulfilling the obligations as a member of the earth village, I do hope these suggestions could be a useful reference for PSCOs in the country.

Studies of the Early Meiji Period have until now been mainly articulated around the issue of continuity and discontinuity between the Edo and Meiji eras. Thus Tokyo has become the central locus of production of multiple discourses on Japanese modernity, urbanity and culture. / This work adopts a discontinuist approach by considering each era as two entirely distinct, although related, historical assemblages. For this, I focus my study on the conditions of production of Tokyo as a modern urban space. The entry into modernity is the crossing of a threshold. As Edo is marked by the order of the general equivalent and the law of the sumptury, Tokyo is produced in abstract space. We shift from an essentially heterogeneous space to a homogeneous, fragmented and hierarchized space. Following Henri Lefebvre, I try to analyze the production of modern abstract space as it is associated with a new mode of control of social space through administrative policies, cartography and urbanism.

Textens syfte är att peka på ett antal av de förutsättningar som har möjliggjort det moderna japanska enfamiljshusets särart. Fokus ligger på det typiska i centrala Tokyos stadsbild som är en viktig faktor för den allmänna utvecklingen. Stor inflyttning och ett svagt regelverk för stadsplanering har skapat unika småhusområden. Den täta stadsstrukturen har skapat många speciella lösningar även i bebyggelse utan arkitektonisk ambition, mycket av det man ser i publicerade arkitekturprojekt är vanliga inslag i den standardbetonade bebyggelsen. Ekonomi är också en viktig faktor. Priset för mark är mycket högt i förhållande till byggkostnader vilket både gör att husets kostnad i en totalbudget är proportionerligt mindre än på många andra platser och att omsättningen på byggnader är hög.   Ritningsmaterialet är ett tävlingsprojekt i staden Calahorra i norra Spanien. Projektets ide var att med främst småhusbebyggelse rita en plan där man uppnår en lika stor befolkningsmässig täthet som i ett område med flerbostadshus. De urbana lösningarna är baserade på de situationer man hittar i Tokyos småhusområden och kan ses som ett försök att formalisera de stadsplanemönster och situationer som genom långa processer har uppstått i Japan. / The aim of the thesis was to discuss preconditions shaping the modern Japanese single-family dwelling. The typical characteristics of the Tokyo cityscape were crucial for the general development of architecture. Urbanization and weak planning regulations have created unique low-rise districts. The density of the urban fabric has created specific architectural solutions in the average house. Many features in houses published in architectural press depict common solutions in the average area. Economy has also been an important factor. The price of land is very high in proportion to other building related costs. The actual building costs are proportionally lower compared to the land price than in many other places and because of this the redevelopment frequency of properties has become high.   The drawings are from an architectural competition in the city Calahorra in the north of Spain. The idea of the project was to use primarily single-family dwellings to create as high density of population as an area containing taller buildings. The urban solutions were based on situations found in the low-rise districts of Tokyo, this is an attempt to formalize the urban patterns that have developed through long processes in Japan.
