This thesis examines, both theoretically and empirically, the effects of land supply restriction on housing price and housing production. The analysis is conducted in the context of a closed city, where any increase in population must be accommodated within the market. The theoretical part of the analysis extends the urban spatial theory by including natural and contrived land supply restrictio...

In what case do you like reading so much? What about the type of the land surface observation modeling and data assimilation book? The needs to read? Well, everybody has their own reason why should read some books. Mostly, it will relate to their necessity to get knowledge from the book and want to read just to get entertainment. Novels, story book, and other entertaining books become so popula...

A case study is presented describing how the South African national cadastral system was insufficient on its own to supply title security and land use control, with respect to newcomers to the city acquiring title in tribal areas. Land registration on its own, or even when accompanied with adjudication, does not necessarily deliver sustainable development. To ensure sustainable development, esp...

Research on the land use of the coastal zone in the sea–land direction will not only reveal its land use distribution, but may also indicate the interactions between inland land use and the ocean through associations between inland land use and seaward land use indirectly. However, in the existing research, few have paid attention to the land use in sea–land direction, let alone the sequential ...

A novel Concrete Printing process has been developed, inspired and informed by advances in 3D printing, which has the potential to produce highly customised building components. Whilst still in their infancy, these technologies could create a new era of architecture that is better adapted to the environment and integrated with engineering function. This paper describes the development of a viab...

SCIAMACHY on ENVISAT has now successfully operated 4 years in space. The ambitious scientific objectives required an operations concept which fully exploits the instrument flexibility but keeps the operational effort to an acceptable minimum. The concept, which had been developed in phase C/D, proved its capabilities in-flight and ensures that SCIAMACHY generates a continuous stream of high-qua...

Type associations supporting reuse decisions in course of the interoperable information systems design are identified. Type reducts (projections of object interfaces defined by types) are considered as patterns of reuse. The required federated composite objects are assumed to be created by integration of such fragments using views above their type definitions. Type associations introduced are b...
