▼ In light of ongoing efforts to internationalize intellectual property law for crop varieties, there is a need to understand how farmers think about rights in seeds. Based on almost two years of archival and ethnographic research in The Gambia, I explore how farmers advance claims to seeds, how they understand varietal innovation, and how they carry out seed transactions. I argue that not unlike the model of personhood and labor advanced by intellectual property, the ways in which Gambian farmers understand the process of varietal innovation and the value of varietal exchange comes to bear on how they discuss rights to crop germplasm. Yet where intellectual property establishes a private right to exclude, farmers discussed rights to seeds as rights to give. Rights to give were both personal rights that returned reward to the giver, but they also were ways to build and meet relational obligations with others. The ways that farmers discuss claims to seed thus meanders the interstices of both individual and collective property. Drawing on data collected through life history interviews, participant observation, and a “seed network analysis” I examine the history and transformation of productive and symbolic practices that have come to pattern current practices of varietal innovation, exchange and access. I argue that the widespread adoption of Islam and the rise of gendered production practices have come to influence how farmers exchange seed and how they locate meaning in those exchanges. Finally, I use both ethnographic and archival data to explore the relationship between the history of colonial germplasm collections and historic claims about global seed commons, particularly as these exchanges played out between farmers and colonial administrators in The Gambia. I argue that the differential recognition afforded to contributions of germplasm from Gambians and those from Europeans within the colonial Department of Agriculture helped produce very specific types of knowledge about farmers and “experts” and “free” and “unfree” gifts. This differential treatment framed early germplasm exchanges in a way that privileged European notions of reciprocity. Advisors/Committee Members: Virginia Nazarea.

▼ The collaborative oscillation of electrons in noble metal nanostructures results in a surface plasmon resonance that makes them useful for various applications including chemical and biological sensors, plasmonic waveguides, and enhanced spectroscopy. In this dissertation, we study the morphology dependent properties of the surface plasmon resonance, and the discrete dipole approximation method is used to investigate the optical properties of Ag nanostructures with different topologic shapes, such as the cylindrical nanorods, needle-shaped nanorods, period-shaped nanorods, L-shaped nanorods, Y-shaped nanorods, parallel-nanorod structures, U-shaped nanostructures, and the helical nanostructures. For the cylindrical nanorods, the extinction spectra depend on both the aspect ratio (length/diameter) and the diameter. For short nanorods, the longitudinal mode plasmon peaks red shift linearly with aspect ratio. For larger aspect ratios, multipolar plasmon peaks appear in the extinction spectra which also red shift linearly with aspect ratio. Comparing to nanorods with a simple shape (cylinder and needle), irregular nanorods shows many distinct plasmon resonances over a large spectra range. More hot spots are observed for the nanorods with more defects. These results show that defects or imperfections in Ag nanorod structures could drastically change the optical properties, generate extra hot spots for surface enhanced spectroscopy, and have different enhanced field distribution for future plasmonics applications. A U-shaped nanostructure has more hot spots than a parallel-nanorod structure; and at the longitudinal mode incidence, the electric field enhancements are much larger than those of the parallel-nanorod structure. These results could be used to engineer U-shaped nanostructures for specific plasmon applications. Helical nanostructures are another good structure to tune the plasmon peak and arrange the electric field distribution. The plasmon peak and the electric field distribution can be tuned not only by the structural parameters but also by the polarizations of the incident light, especially the circular polarizations. In addition, the origins of the plasmon modes are also investigated. The transverse modes are due to the electron oscillations perpendicular to the cross sections and the longitudinal plasmon peaks are due to the charge oscillations along the arc length of the helix and are mainly determined by the effective dipole length.

[Truncated abstract] The primary aim of this study was to examine, and compare, the value relevance and any bias associated with the reporting of intangible assets in Australia and the US over the ten-year period 1994 to 2003. The study adopts a disaggregated form of the Feltham and Ohlson (1995) valuation model and associated linear information models (LIMs) to allow goodwill and identifiable intangible assets to be separately examined using unbalanced panel regression analysis. The results for the Australian sample suggest that the adaptation of the Feltham and Ohlson (1995) valuation model used in this study is particularly useful in examining Australian equity securities. For example, the pooled sample analysis results in an adjusted R2 of 71%, which is consistent with similar US studies by Ahmed, Morton and Schaefer (2000) and Amir, Kirscenheiter and Willard (1997). Further, the results from the disaggregated Feltham and Ohlson (1995) valuation models suggest that the information presented with respect to intangible assets (both goodwill and identifiable intangible assets) under Australian GAAP is value relevant. However, the results from the valuation models also suggest that (for the average Australian company) the market believes goodwill is reported conservatively and identifiable intangible assets aggressively. ... As noted earlier, the increasing importance of intangible assets in the 'new-economy' suggests that (wherever possible having regard to the measurement difficulties) all intangible assets should be recognised in financial statements to maximise the value relevance of those statements. It should be noted, however, that there was some evidence to suggest that certain Australian companies (that is, those not consistently reporting positive abnormal operating earnings) might be reporting goodwill and/or identifiable intangible assets aggressively and this is an area that standard setters might need to carefully consider in future. I trust that the findings presented in this study will prove helpful to both researchers and those involved with formulating international accounting standards in this particularly difficult area of intangible assets. I also hope the results will help to allay any fears regulators (and others) might have that providing managers with accounting discretion will (necessarily) lead to biased reporting practices; based on the findings of this study for the majority of Australian and US companies, any such fears appear unwarranted.

▼ This research investigates the factors that impact on South African Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) listed on the JSE trading at a discount or premium to their net asset value (NAV), known as the NAV spread. Globally, REITs have become an increasingly popular means for investing in real estate representing 41% of the global listed property industry and reaching a total market capitalisation of US$ 1.3 trillion as at June 2017 (EPRA, 2017). In South Africa, as at November 2017, there were 31 SA REITs listed on the JSE, representing a market capitalisation of over R422 billion (PropertyWheel, 2017). There are broadly two approaches to understanding and explaining the NAV spread, namely, the rational approach and the irrational approach (Morri et al., 2005; Mueller and Pfnuer, 2013). Factors under each approach were identified and discussed in the literature review. A quantitative research methodology was adopted in which 12 REITs were investigated between 1 July 2012 and 30 June 2017. A regression analysis using a linear mixed effects model was carried out in order to test whether the factors identified in the literature impacted on the NAV spread of SA REITs. Five rational and four irrational factors were regressed against two versions of NAV discount, namely, using a Traditional NAV Discount formula and an Unlevered NAV Discount formula which accounts for the effect of debt on the discount. Model diagnostics were carried out on two regressions and an outlying observation was found for each NAV Discount formula and hence each model was run twice, namely, the regression was run with the Traditional NAV Discount formula using the full set of observations (Model 1) and with one outlying observation removed (Model 2). Thereafter the regression was run with the Unlevered NAV Discount formula using the full set of observations (Model 3) and with one outlying observation removed (Model 4). The results of the regression analysis found only one factor, Dividend Yield (DY), to have a statistically significant impact on REITs trading at a discount or premium to their NAV in all four models employed. Sector Average Discount (SAD) was found to be statistically significant in Models 2, 3 and 4. Size (SIZE) was found to be statistically significant in Models 1 and 2. Return on Equity (ROE) was found to be statistically significant in Models 3 and 4. Consumer Confidence Index (CCI) was found to be statistically significant in Model 4. The SA Property Index (SAPI) was found to be marginally statistically significant in Model 1. Based on the model diagnostics Models 2 and 4 showed a better fit with the regression model and hence were the preferred models. The statistically significant variables in Model 2 were DY, SIZE and SAD; and in Model 4 were DY, SAD, ROE and CCI. This suggests that both rational factors (DY, ROE and SIZE) and irrational factors (SAD, CCI and SAPI) impact on South African REITs trading at a discount or premium to their NAV, however, the factors are dependent on whether debt is accounted for or not in the NAV… Advisors/Committee Members: Nurick, Saul (advisor).

▼ The built environment contributes 40% to total global greenhouse gas emissions and 87% of the buildings we will have in 2050 are already built (Wilkinson & Remoy, 2015). If predicted climate changes are correct we need to adapt existing stock sustainably. Reuse is an inherently sustainable option, which reduces the amount of waste going to landfill. Inevitably, settlements and areas undergo change, whereby land uses become obsolete and buildings vacant. At this stage, the options are either to demolish or to convert to another use. In central business districts (CBDs) outside of South Africa, there are many examples of office to residential conversion. It is expected that Cape Town CBD will take the learnings from this international market and the adaptive reuse of Cape Town’s existing buildings will be explored in greater depth. Globally there is a movement of people towards centralised living locations due to the increased congestion of transport networks to cities and the need for people to be close to the services that cities offer. This movement will only become exaggerated in time as the urbanisation of Africa continues at an increasing rate. The ability to sustainably reuse existing commercial structures thus becomes a pertinent topic in providing an efficient solution to satisfy the housing demand. Some 9000m2 of office space is currently earmarked for residential conversion in Cape Town as demand for central residential property grows and a low interest rate economic environment creates good financial conditions for developers. Coupled with this, is a stock of ageing offices and a population projected to increase by 15% by 2031 requiring approximately 30,000 new housing options across the Cape metropolitan area. With the low projected economic growth rate of South Africa, the Cape Town office market is expected to remain relatively stagnant in 2017, 2018 and 2019 - so the macro economic conditions for residential conversion are better than ever. Based on the above mentioned, this research aimed at answering the questions: (a) which drivers encourage residential conversions in Cape Town, and, (b) what are the barriers for successful reuse of existing commercial buildings. This research investigated the nature and extent of commercial conversions experienced in other global cities (London, Sydney and New York) so as to establish an understanding of how Cape Town can best adapt, as well as the drivers and barriers to successful conversion of existing structures in a CBD. Through an extensive literature study, the research identifies the key lessons from international residential conversion projects. Subsequently, interviews were held with local property experts in the Cape Town market. This research explored the potential of delivering sustainability to the Cape Town CBD through the reuse of commercial buildings. The mix of these various forms of research allowed key themes to emerge and for these themes to be exploded so as to establish a view on whether conversion projects are here to stay. The research… Advisors/Committee Members: Michell, Kathy (advisor).

▼ The challenges which entrepreneurs in general face have been well documented over the years, however, challenges specific to real estate entrepreneurs have not adequately been identified. In a developing country like South Africa, the impact of entrepreneurs in the growth of the economy and in its transformation objective, cannot be underestimated. The challenges in the real estate sector in which developers provide affordable housing, are of crucial importance to identify as doing so will promote further development which will aid in reducing the high unemployment and poverty rate. These challenges have not yet been adequately identified. The aim of this research paper is to identify them, to rank them in order of importance and to provide in depth analysis as to how they affect real estate entrepreneurs in completing their developments. The focus will be on small medium and micro-enterprise (SMME) developers as entrepreneurs in an urban context, namely in the Johannesburg central business district. The impact of these developments is higher; thus, the challenges experienced by these developers are of significance. Literature on entrepreneurship was reviewed to ascertain the definition of an entrepreneur, their mindsets and what drives them. This was used to define a real estate entrepreneur which in the context of this research paper is someone who purchases land or buildings to develop them into residential housing for the purpose of a return (both social and economic). In the research methodology a phenomenographic approach was used, appropriate for a qualitative research approach, as it sought to identify challenges through the developers’ experiences. The developers selected, all had prior experience in the field. The researcher interviewed them in person. Their responses were recorded, transcribed and evaluated. Seven challenges in order of importance were identified namely: 1) Apartheid 2) Education, Experience, Competencies and Mentorship 3) Land 4) Municipalities 5) Equity 6) Time Delays 7) Professional Team The legacy of apartheid has a negative effect on the real estate development industry as it is largely and experience-based profession of which many previously disadvantaged people were previously denied access to. The result of this is that many highly educated, first time developers enter the market with the support of funders but the lack of experience in development thus making many costly mistakes which could have been avoided had they had the right mentors and experience within the field. This has proven to be difficult to receive as those with the skills and experience are often reluctant to pass it on to those whom they may be unfamiliar with. It was found that SMME entrepreneurs lack the basic competencies to complete developments due to their lack of experience, which they in turn rely heavily on a professional team which is either too costly for the feasibility of the development or has limited experience, due to similar reasons pertaining to apartheid. The concern of gaining access to the… Advisors/Committee Members: Viruly, Francois (advisor).

▼ The purpose of this research is to investigate the relationship between unlisted and listed commercial property returns and the macroeconomic factors identified, which are the stock market, economic activity, inflation and interest rates, in South Africa for the period from 1995 to 2013 (for unlisted properties) and from 2002 to 2013 (for listed properties). It is commonly understood that relevant macroeconomic variables impact asset prices; it is therefore easy to see why it is important to examine the dynamic interactions between the macroeconomic variables and property returns. Previous studies identified stock market performance, economic growth, interest rate and inflation as significant macroeconomic variables. The empirical research in this work is conducted using regression and vector auto regression (VAR) methodologies consistent with prior studies. Regression analysis considers the statistical dependence of the dependent variable on one or more explanatory variables. VAR analysis permits inferences to be drawn about how a particular variable helps to explain property returns and to see how a shock from the same variable affects that return. The work concluded that unlisted property has insufficient historical data to perform the relevant statistical testing. It also established that unlisted property has shown a high correlation (69%) to listed property. Finally, for listed property it was determined that interest rates were found to be a significant negative variable. This result was consistent with the impulse response analysis conducted. Variance decomposition also showed that the interest rate variable explained almost 49% of the volatility of listed property. No other economic variables identified in this work were found to be statistically significant. This research is the first of its kind relating to commercial property in South Africa. The findings of this research reaffirm the theoretical argument that the relationship between interest rates and returns of commercial property is negative. The findings of this research are of significance to investors, analysts and policymakers wishing to acquire a better understanding of this market.

▼ Subjective decision making can lead to results that are difficult to justify in cases where the outcome is unfavourable. This is the case in the wind energy industry where wind independent power producers (IPPs) assess new market entry opportunities. Decision analyses methods can assist decision makers when faced with difficult choices such as which market to enter. Multi Criteria Decision Analyses or MCDA is one of the most preferred of many different decision analyses methods. MCDA ranks a set of criteria in order of importance and then, based on the results, ranks alternatives. There are many MCDA methods available and the most often used include the analytical hierarchy process (AHP), multi-attribute utility theory (MAUT), preference ranking organization method for enrichment evaluation (PROMETHEE), elimination and choice translating reality (ELECTRE) and technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS). In this study a combination of MCDA methods are used to rank Sub-Saharan African countries based on preference for new market entry for wind IPPs. Nineteen different criteria were identified through a thorough literature review that were included in the analyses. The nineteen criteria were categorised into economic, technical, political and social criteria. The study was divided into two phases. In the first phase an industry expert survey was concluded and resulting from this survey the AHP was used to rank the criteria in order of importance. In the second phase PROMETHEE was used to rank seven Sub-Saharan African countries from most to least favourable for IPP market entry. The expert survey and AHP showed that political and economic criteria are considerably more important than technical and social criteria. Governments have the ability to change both the economic and political landscape and should do so if they want to attract wind IPPs. On the other hand, technical and social criteria are more difficult for governments to change but these do not have as significant impact on market attractiveness. The PROMETHEE model ranked South Africa as the most favourable market for wind IPPs to enter followed by Ethiopia, Namibia, Kenya, Mozambique, Nigeria and lastly Zambia. The top two countries both have very strong natural wind resources and South Africa is the only country with incentives specifically and exclusively for on grid renewable energy. The least favourable two countries, namely Nigeria and Zambia, have almost no wind resource and a weak economic environment. Future research can use MCDA methods, such as AHP and PROMETHEE, to assist in the evaluation of different market entry opportunities. These methods can also be adapted to investigate opportunities at country level i.e. analyse and compare different states/provinces with each other.

▼ There is a belief that anything that is specialised tends to outperform the diversified counterparts and this study investigates if this proposition applies in the property industry, specifically the REIT (Real Estate Investment Trust) market in South Africa (SA). The norm is to apply a quantitative methodology when assessing performance but this study follows a qualitative approach in comparing the overall performance between specialised and diversified REITs in SA using non-quantitative metrics. A mix of specialised and diversified REITs in SA were sampled and a multiple case study analysis was done after interviewing senior management in four REITs. A total of four interviews were done with five respondents across four cases. These cases were then analysed using thematic analysis. The respondents were asked questions relating to the REIT they are working for, industrial specialised and diversified REITs performance and the SA property market as a whole. The overall findings suggest that diversified REITs may outperform the specialised REITs in SA currently however, this conclusion depends on a lot of factors. These factors include the analysis time of reference, the economic status of the country (for example, recession), the size of the REIT, the company gearing level, how that specific sector is performing at that particular time relative to others and the management efficiency level. The growth of e-commerce plays a vital role as a factor as well because it is said to be replacing the brick and mortar retail industry therefore, its influence affects the specialised industrial sector performance. For further research, a similar study with a quantitative approach can be considered in order to add to the SA REIT body of knowledge. Furthermore, research on the performance of property companies before and after attaining REIT status could be investigated to determine the REIT status effect on the company. To add on to the SA REIT literature, performance between REITs in different sectors and provinces could be explored. Advisors/Committee Members: Nurick, Saul (advisor).

▼ Purpose - The aim of this thesis documentation was to identify the Urban FM principles and key criteria which contribute to the attainment of a sustainable urban precinct. The need for a better understanding of the relationship between buildings, people and the urban precinct to facilitate the development of an increased understanding of sustainable cities was highlighted during the literature review. Urban FM, as an emerging field, also created the need for the study of FM principles at a macro scale. Design/methodology/approach - Using the case study methodology, the research used the case of Ebene Cybercity and adopted a social constructionist, interpretivist framework. Qualitative data was collected using face-to-face interviews as the prime data collection technique and analysed through generation of themes. Findings - The main findings were that FM principles at a macro scale are mainly applied at a strategic level and as such, implementation of an FM plan needs a strategic awareness and support at the top level of the structure being managed; involving both the political leadership and the top management of the urban precinct. It was also found that implementation of such an FM strategy at the macro scale was allowed through the following key criteria: a clustering effect, flexibility, formal communication channels, design preconditions and macro strategic drivers. These findings were thus used as a basis for the generation of a model to establish the principles of a macro urban FM strategy and a list of key criteria which facilitate the implementation of such a strategy. Practical Implications - The thesis finally ends with the proposition for further research in the field of Urban FM at a macro level to strengthen the generalisation to theory and work towards a new infrastructure model firmly anchored in the sustainability principles. The scope for future research in the African context with its low level of urbanisation is particularly relevant where there is need for new, wide-ranging urban policies to create African cities and towns capable of generating sustainable growth and development.

▼ As facilities have to adapt to changing environments along with the increasing awareness with regards to sustainability, Facilities Management (FM) has an important role to play in facilitating the motivation, adoption and implementation of sustainable practices in strategic facilities plans. Green Building Features and Initiatives (GBFIs) impact on the Triple Bottom Line (TBL) and add significant value to facilities. Whilst FM used to be focused on economic value, it has the potential to impact on numerous stakeholders and add to the social, economic and environmental value of facilities. Hence, the facility manager can generate long-term value to an organisation by developing, applying and maintaining sustainable facility practices. However, little is known about the perceived added social, economic and environmental value of the integration of GBFIs into an FM strategy. This research focuses on four cases within the office property sector in Cape Town and involves a series of interview and surveys to assess the perceived value added by GBFIs on commercial properties. In this research it was found that GBFIs add value to facilities in numerous ways both directly and indirectly. They impact on future proofing, revenue growth, profitability growth, waste management, resource conservation, energy efficiency, reduced carbon footprint, sustainable or reduced travel, workplace attractiveness, staff perceptions, work environment, comfort levels, health and safety. However, all GBFIs do not have the same impact on value and it is important to get the right mix and the right level of implementation to experience holistic value added. It was also found that the accolades, such as a green star rating, which comes from the implementation of GBFIs can lead to further added economic and social value as such ratings impact directly on the perception of the facility. As the performance of GBFIs is directly linked to the operations of the building, it is vital to adopt a pro-active and strategic approach to FM in order to optimise the impact of GBFIs on the value of a facility. The implementation of GBFIs is the first step and to ensure the success of those GBFIs, the FM strategy must provide for the green operations of the facility and must be in line with the vision of the main tenant or owner-occupier. Hence, the tenant also plays a significant role in the value adding process, as they must also be sustainability-driven. The FM team must have different initiatives in place to ensure the proper functioning of the GBFIs and to deal with the people management and change management requirements that usually accompany the implementation of GBFIs.

▼ This research study examines the extent of urban development in Doha in relation to the impact this development poses on Facilities Management (FM). The focus of this study is on the city of Doha, Qatar. Urban growth that is not underpinned by a sustainable development ethos presents unique challenges on social, economic, human and environmental development. Two fundamental drivers of the urban development, namely: the implementation of Qatar National Vision 2030 (QNV) and the preparation to host major sports events such as Men's Handball Tournament 2015 and FIFA Football World Cup in 2022 have been investigated. Particular emphasis is to be placed on the government to look beyond ambitions for creating a 'global hub city' and contextualise the position of Qatar in terms of limited population numbers, dependence on a foreign workforce and the hiring of knowledge instead of creating a base. The emergence of FM as an important dimension to sustainable development requires a paradigm shift in encouraging FM involvement in the development process. A case study was undertaken and a thematic analysis was adopted within a non-interventional interpretative paradigm. Field data were collected using semi-structured interviews with respondents being identified through convenience and purposeful sampling considerations. The data show that while the hosting of major sports events presents legacy issues and FM pressures after the events, it is the implementation of the QNV that also provided significant challenges on rapid urban growth, sustainable development and FM. Implications of the findings are that a national development strategy for an emerging economy is required to be underpinned by the application of a holistic and sustainable approach that provides social and economic development to the communities; the formulation of an urban development process that assists in creating a controlled urban growth that can offer a viable creation of social inclusivity needed to achieve sustainable development; and that the low level of FM expertise as a result of the limited number of FM firms and the lack of technology and techniques presents unique FM challenges in Qatar.

▼ The purpose of this dissertation is to investigate whether a property investor could diversify their portfolio by investing in the same property class and type throughout three different cities in South Africa. Furthermore, the study aimed to achieve this by providing an in-depth analysis of property cycle activity in South Africa and investigating how different South African cities react to the national property cycle. Cape Town, Durban and Johannesburg were chosen, as they are major cities in South Africa. The time frame used is the 2001 to 2009 property cycle with specific reference to office space. The timeframe does not cover the property cycle over an extended period where factors may be different from the ones concerned here. The outcome of the study will help to provide an understanding how the three different cities reacted to the national property cycle using variables such as but limited to gross rentals receivable, total return, income return and vacancies. The results of the study will help in making investment decisions, especially for investors who may want to diversify their portfolios across different cities within the same country. The methodology of this dissertation will be based on a comparative analysis using mainly Investment Property Databank (2013) data subsequent to a literature review. The findings are based on Investment Property Databank (2013) statistical industry performance data. The conclusion will be drawn from the results. The primary motivation for this research stems from investors' need for a greater understanding of diversification within the property cycle to improve investment decisions. The primary objective achieved was to contribute to the understanding of the predictability of the property cycle, which can assist in the decision making of a property investor looking to diversify by location in their property portfolio. Whilst this finding was not the primary objective, this dissertation revealed that there are synchronicities between the Central Business District and decentralised office markets of the three cities of Cape Town, Durban and Johannesburg.
