▼ The effect of land uses on neighboring
property values is of critical interest to urban planners, developers, and citizens.
Property values are in part defined by built structure and lot characteristics, locational attributes (e.g., proximity to amenities and disamenities), and other features such as views from a
property. The effects of these attributes can be estimated using the hedonic
property valuation method. While many of these attributes are easily quantified, views are less tangible. This study attempts to develop a viewshed estimation technique that takes into account the limbing up of trees, a major limitation of viewshed estimates to date. The limbing up effect was estimated using a conditional statement on three viewsheds: ground elevation only, ground elevation plus 8 feet where there are trees, and the elevation of vegetation (LIDAR). The viewsheds areas were intersected with their land use zone (residential, institutional, agricultural, etc) as well as their land use category (pavement, building, short, or tall vegetation) and perspective was controlled for. The viewshed estimates were evaluated within econometric models, yielding some interesting results, including that increased visibility of houses and pavement reduced
property values, short vegetation had a positive effect, and views of trees themselves had no significant effect. While the techniques used in this study have great potential, they were limited in their current application due to computing power. Further investigations may help overcome some of the constraints within this study and explore variations on this technique in order to generate robust viewshed estimates.

▼ Electronic patterns found on Pb quantum islands can serve as a template to grow nanoclusters spontaneously. Nanoclusters of different materials display various growth behaviors. Compared to Pb adatoms, Ag nanoclusters can be fabricated in a perfectly ordered form. In the work, using density-functional theory, we demonstrate that how the interaction between adatom and substrate affects the atomic motion on the Pb quantum islands of electronic origin.

Equivariant and non-equivariant uniform embeddings into

(more)
▼ A crystallographic group is a group that acts
faithfully, isometrically and properly discontinuously on a
Euclidean space R
n and the theory of
crystallographic groups is in some sense governed by three main
theorems, called the Bieberbach theorems. The research performed in
this thesis is motivated from a desire to generalize these theorems
to a more general setting. First, instead of actions on
R
n, we consider actions on products
<i>M</i> x <i>N</i> where
<i>N</i> is a simply connected, connected nilpotent
Lie-group equipped with a left-invariant Riemannian metric and
where <i>M</i> is a closed Riemannian manifold. Our
proof to generalize the first Bieberbach theorem to this setting,
needs that the isometries of <i>M</i> x
<i>N</i> split, i.e that Iso(<i>M</i> x
<i>N</i>) = Iso(<i>M</i>) x
Iso(<i>N</i>). In Part I of this thesis, we introduce a
class of products on which the isometries split.
Consequently, going back to the Bierbach context, we can replace
Euclidean space R
n by the class of all,
possibly infinite-dimensional, Hilbert spaces. We here enter the
world of groups with the Haagerup
property. Quantifying the degree
to which a group satisfies the Haagerup
property leads to the
notion of equivariant Hilbert space compression, and we investigate
the behaviour of this number under group constructions in Part II.
Finally, dropping the condition that groups under
consideration must act isometrically on a Hilbert space, we look,
in part III, at mere (uniform) embeddings of groups into Hilbert
spaces. Quantifying the degree to which a group embeds uniformly
into a Hilbert space, leads to the notion of (ordinary) Hilbert
space compression and in Part III, the behaviour of this number
under group constructions is investigated.

▼ Facilities Management (FM) has and continues to evolve strongly as a strategic function in many organisation. Many organisations have also recognised the importance of human capital for the success of their operations. This is why the concept of Employee Value Proposition (EVP) is growing in popularity and is becoming one of the main focuses especially in human capital management spheres. Whilst there are many factors that contribute to the EVP, strategic FM has not been one of the focus areas. Although strategic FM has had a focus on user satisfaction as well as the usability of facilities, the focus of research to date has not necessarily been directed to EVP. Hence, this study explores the impact of strategic FM on employee value proposition. It explores this through quantitative and qualitative research means in a chosen case study of an organisation where strategic FM has been and still in the process of being implemented. The research establishes employee’s opinions on the importance of their work environment; whether their workspace support their effectiveness; whether their workspace provides flexibility for collaborations and teamwork; and other factors related to employee satisfaction. The findings of the study indicate that strategic FM does have an impact on employee value proposition. There are also indications that employees believe that FM services play a role in employee satisfaction which may lead to employee retention as well as employee recruitment which are two of the identified factors of employee value proposition.

(more)
▼ The need for supportive non-conventional housing environments that encourage cohesion, conflict resolution, independence, self-disclosure, organisation, residential influence and physical comfort, amongst elderly residents is becoming critical, yet the evaluation of existing elderly housing settings is often overlooked. The aim of the research was to identify residents' perceptions of the social climate in shared housing settings, a non-conventional housing initiative being undertaken by non-profit organisations for the low-income elderly population group in Cape Town, South Africa. A case research study involved 45 participants living in 7 of the 13 shared houses affiliated to the Neighbourhood Old Age Homes (NOAH) organization. Using the Sheltered Care Environmental Scale (SCES), participants answered 63 'Yes / No' questions aimed at revealing their opinions of the social climate in the shared homes. The initial findings detected overall satisfaction amongst most residents regarding interfacing social dynamics, suggesting high levels of perceived independence, self-disclosure and residential influence. Mixed results were generally observed regarding interfacing social dynamics related to levels of physical comfort, organization in the homes, cohesion and conflict resolution. The findings suggest that the shared housing concept advanced by the Neighbourhood Old Age Homes (NOAH) organisation has been able to successfully promote a sense of cohesion, conflict resolution, independence, self-disclosure, organisation, residential influence and physical comfort amongst residents, thereby playing a vital role in residents' experience of residential satisfaction in these homes.

▼ 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.

▼ 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…

▼ 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.

▼ The construction and Civil Engineering industry is characterized by high risks, but equally high returns. The dynamics and complexities of this industry and its cycles, make it an extremely volatile and difficult industry to operate within. This is evident in the number of construction companies currently struggling to remain solvent, have gone into business rescue, and filed for bankruptcy. This industry has historically struggled to position itself effectively to deal with a down turning macro-economic environment - When it is good, it is very good, but when it is bad, it is very bad. Typically, there have been two differing strategies – Specialisation and Diversification. Specialisation, on the one hand, enables contractors to fine-tune their skill set and gear their businesses accordingly, to enhance their competitive edge. However, the result is concentration risk. Diversification however, enables contractors to become more risk-averse, and thereby less sensitive to the extremes of the cyclical nature that the construction industry is characterised by. The application of portfolio theory to a portfolio of construction projects was investigated, advancing the existing research done by Kangari and Riggs. Whilst most research has been limited to listed construction company performance, this analysis differentiates itself as it focusses on the intrinsic performance of actual construction projects (assets), which together form a portfolio. The theory is motivated by the concept that in order to value the stock, one must value the business. Construction companies should pay more careful attention to the selection of their projects. Critically, they should avoid becoming heavily invested in one type of construction, but rather to find a balance that will provide diversified risk benefits. Becoming more diversified can be achieved by investing in different types of construction projects - reducing specific risk. However, the most diversified position can only be achieved when investing outside the field of construction completely, and thereby reducing not only specific risks, but systematic risks too. This enhances sustainability in a way that the construction industry has not yet experienced.

The perceived influence of the integration of GBFIs into an FM strategy on social, economic and environmental value of a facility.

▼ 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.

▼ The primary purpose of this study is to investigate the presence of client's influences on property valuer behaviour in South Africa. The study aims to investigate the existence of these influences, the variables of these influences and the possible consequences for the valuation industry. International literature reveals that this phenomenon is prevalent in a number of countries. This study aims to uncover this phenomenon in South Africa. Registered South African valuers are targeted by survey questionnaires to extract the relevant data necessary to support this claim. The response rate is a broad representation and sufficient data is gathered for the research purposes. Furthermore, prominent valuation companies and valuers are interviewed in order to elaborate and support the data extracted from the survey questionnaire. The study indicates that client influence on valuers exists in South Africa and that a majority (54%) of practising valuers have adjusted their valuations after client interaction. The concern is that this prevalence of influence will be detrimental to the valuation industry in South Africa. This study aims to promote awareness of these influences, and recommendations are made to curb this phenomenon.

▼ 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…

▼ The Discounted Cash Flow method of
property valuation is a fairly new method and research in other English speaking countries indicated a trend towards the use of the DCF method in preference to the Capitalization method despite an initial hesitance due to the perceived complexity of the method. The aim of this study was therefore to form an understanding if similar perception of complexity exists in South Africa and how these perception influence the perceptions and preference of use of the DCF method of valuation by valuation professionals within the South African context. The research was guided by three specific research questions which probed valuers' methodology preference, valuers' education, and difficulties experienced in accessing data needed for DCF valuation input variables. A mixed method research approach was adopted using questionnaire and document surveys to gather data from valuation professionals, lecturers of valuation education programs accredited with the SACPVP, and the curricula of these programs. The results indicate a general low preference for the use of the DCF method of valuation while the Capitalisation method is indicated as the most preferred method. This low preference was found to be the result of a high degree of difficulty experienced in accessing data needed for DCF valuation input variables. It was also found that the level of valuation education increases the acceptance and preference for the use of the DCF method.

▼ 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.

▼ 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…

▼ The proposed research aims to gain a better understanding of the information inefficiencies in the real estate investment milieu through the exploration of the behaviour of real estate actors. The supposition is that a better understanding of the real estate actor behaviour in the context of market cyclicality should add to the body of knowledge on the pro-active mitigation of real estate investment losses. The exogenous factors causing market cyclicality such as the sub-prime mortgage crises of 2007/2008 is used analogously to an independent variable with the focus on the behaviour and interrelation of real estate actors or endogenous causes of market cyclicality. A phenomenological approach in the context of constructivist ontology is followed in a connected mixed method research strategy, i.e. a quantitative to qualitative sequential explanatory design to explore the behaviour of the real estate user, - developer and - investor. The quantitative data analysis takes the form of descriptive statistics of office vacancy rates, - areas and - capitalisation rates of seven nodes in Cape Town. Although inferential statistical methods, such as the nonparametric Kruskal-Wallis Test, linear tend analysis and measures of linearity are used it is still used in the form of descriptive statistics to understand phenomena and extrapolate results to other situations. Qualitative data are collected through semi-structured interviews and analysis is done with Giorgi’s descriptive phenomenology approach to synthesise a general psychological structure based on the constituent of the participant’s experience. The study found that regular periods of over- and underbuilding in the real estate market may be influenced by the real estate actor because of the bounded nature of information and bounded capability of the actor. Real estate actors display behaviour actively avoiding the negative impact of market cyclicality through the use of agency. An agency based model is developed through this study showing that the real estate actor use specialisation to confine the unknown nature of information and to liberate the bounded ability of the real estate actor through working the network, engaging the network and signalling.

▼ The purpose of this mini dissertation is to review the adequacy of Built-Together Program loan funds for the large-scale delivery of adequate housing for low-income groups and to assess the performance of the loan scheme using the concept Balance Scorecard as an assessment tool. The research method employ s interview and survey methods to collect data. Data was collected and analyzed from a n administrator and beneficiary perspective to understand the workings and the main characteristics of the program. The primary beneficiaries of the Built-Together Program are the vulnerable in society and comprise primarily of women and single parents. It is therefore critical that the efficiency and sustainability of the loan scheme be improved to ensure that the needy in society continue to benefit. One of the major findings of the research is that the Built-Together Program is inadequate to deliver the most basic low-income house. It is therefore not surprising to hear and read about the dissatisfaction about the Built Together Program expressed by the Namibian Government, local and regional councils and beneficiaries in the local media. The research recommended that the authorities review the Program and bring it in line with the critical successes requirements for national housing policies and strategies.

▼ This thesis investigates the perception of public sector
property management professionals on the differences between public and private sector management in South Africa. The main objective of the research is to ascertain if private sector
property performance measures are appropriate and sufficient in scope to be used in the public sector. A two-fold quantitative-descriptive survey method was used together with an analysis of the public
property management literature. The research established that
property management between the two sectors is different mainly due to their different objectives of
property ownership, the private sector being profit driven while the public sector is social service delivery oriented.
Property composition is also different as the public sector
property portfolios are diverse as they include assets that have both financial and non-financial objectives. The study concludes that private sector
property performance measures are appropriate for use in the public sector as they address financial issues. However, these measures are insufficient as they tend to ignore non-financial variables that contribute to service delivery which is one of the main reasons for the public sector's existence. Therefore an appropriate and sufficient public sector
property performance regime should include both financial and non-financial variables, which can be presented by a service balanced scorecard (SBS) which measures public
property's contribution to service delivery.

▼ Purpose: This research investigated the constraints to investment in residential rental
property in South Africa. This research does not attempt to value or place these constraints in any hierarchical order; rather, it identifies the constraints in the South African context for research in the future. Design: A literature review was conducted, and constraints to residential rental
property were identified. A semi-structured interview was then designed, and a field study was launched, interviewing key residential investment
property market stakeholders regarding their views on the constraints to investment in residential rental
property in South Africa. Quantitative data was used to corroborate the findings of the interviews, and pattern analysis was the technique drawn on to explain the findings. Findings: Participants identified six major constraints to investment in residential rental
property in South Africa. These include financial liquidity or funding;
property liquidity; management skills; management costs; the lack of investment market information; and legal constraints. Practical Implications: The results of this research will enable further research into the specific constraints mentioned above, in order to assess if there are ways to minimise those constraints going forward.

▼ The purpose of this research is to explore the scope and understanding of facility management (FM) in the public sector, and specifically at military unit level, and compare it to a normative model. The principles of applied research are used in a single exploratory and instrumental case study with a mixed-method approach of data gathering. The literature review studied secondary data to create context, and open-ended and closed-ended questions in a questionnaire produced primary data on the actual scope and understanding of FM. A sequential mixed research approach was used to discuss the five research propositions. The research found that FM policies do not extend to military unit level. Furthermore, that FM practitioners have some understanding and competencies but there is no consistency in and between units, and therefore, support is needed in some. Support is required in the form of training/education, career development, budgets and structures as identified by FM practitioners. The Department of Defence (DOD) needs to define and communicate FM; structure FM down to unit level; staff structures; train, educate, and promote FM practitioners as FM professionals; and fund FM activities. FM practitioners need to be informed and skilled, they should build networks, and be cost conscious. This research is limited by studying FM at only a few military units on the West Coast of South Africa, which limits statistical inference and the establishment of FM within the whole of the DOD. Although FM research has been done within the South African public sector, and the DOD has made contributions, no previous research has focussed on FM at military unit level. The value of this research is a consolidated and focussed effort towards FM, which ultimately contributes to state security and the cost thereof. Future research should find the optimal structure, staffing and competencies for FM in military units.

▼ In recent years, the Cape Town CBD has experienced urban renewal and regeneration. The Bo-Kaap and De Waterkant, two inner city neighbourhoods adjacent to one another, have reacted differently to this process. De Waterkant is completely gentrified, and the Bo-Kaap not. This research study aimed to demonstrate the contrasting potential and pace for gentrification and account for the differentiating gentrification outcomes of two neighbourhoods within the same city. Based on the literature reviewed and key informant interviews this study finds that gentrification does not develop as a single process. The pace and potential for gentrification is determined by the contextual particularities, investment opportunities and the nature and strength of the community. In the case of the Bo-Kaap and De Waterkant, the historical context directed the future potential for gentrification, while the respective communities currently determine the pace.

▼ South Africa suffers from an acute housing shortage with the lack of access to credit partly to blame. The implementation of Basel III, an international regulatory framework touted to impact the banking sector, has been suggested as a potential catalyst to credit deterioration in South Africa. The purpose of this study is to assess the impact of the Basel III regulatory Accord on the provision of long - term housing finance in South Africa. A combination of interviews with bank personnel, as well as a time – series statistical analysis utilising aggregate bank balance sheet data is employed to gauge how changes in banks’ balance sheet compositions may affect long - term housing finance. South African banks are historically well capitalised. However, the introduction of newly developed parameters in accordance with the Basel III Accord appear to threaten bank profitability. Findings from the study indicate that the provision of long - term housing finance will be compromised in certain ways with some sectors of the housing market more impacted than others.

▼ In South Africa, there is a growing awareness of green buildings because they are understood to be environmental sustainability. Yet at the same time building adaptability has the ability to provide sustainability to building structures because it enables ease of response to building user changes. The thrust of this study was to evaluate how much adaptability is incorporated in the design and construction of green buildings in order to minimize unnecessary building obsolescence and prevent the premature demolition of the structures. This is because demolition of buildings is wasteful and unsustainable, hence the importance of constructing adaptable green buildings. Building adaptability helps to preserve and prolong the lifespan of buildings thereby contributing to their long-term sustainability. A mixed method of a questionnaire and semi-structured interviews was used to investigate the phenomenon and to collect data from a sample of engineers, architects and sustainability consultants who are involved in the accreditation of green buildings. The study was limited to commercial office buildings that have a green star rating. The research indicated that, in general, most green buildings in South Africa are not designed and constructed with adaptability in mind. However, in the commercial office space, most of the buildings are constructed with some level of flexibility due to the fast pace nature of the business environment that requires that the interior building spaces be adaptable to change of use by different tenants. Findings from the research also indicated that, even though the current rating tools for green buildings used in South Africa do acknowledge some elements of building adaptability, the rating tools are generally silent on building adaptability as a whole. Consequently, efforts by engineers and architects to design adaptable green buildings are not fully recognised and rewarded for. The lack of incentive for designers to design adaptable buildings is one of the reasons why the concept of building adaptability has not been fully embraced as a design principle in the construction of green buildings in South Africa.

▼ 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.

▼ 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.

▼ The global real estate industry is said to be five years behind the technology curve. By some estimates, as much as a third of global real estate assets are managed by spreadsheets. Despite this, venture capital firms around the globe invested 1.5bn in real estate technology during 2015 and a further 1.8bn in the first half of 2016 (CB Insights, 2016). Within that context, this research seeks to examine whether or not real estate companies leverage technology to achieve best value, what the major benefits of technology are and finally, the key inhibiting and enabling factors impacting technology adoption. Initially, a theoretical foundation of modern facilities management is laid, including its relationship to real estate. An examination of the most prominent broad and specific technologies follows. A qualitative approach was favoured, specifically, a case study combined with semi-structured interviews of information technology leaders in the global real estate industry. It was established that real estate companies do leverage technology to achieve best value, but that the degree, nature and extent thereof varies depending on a range of systemic, idiosyncratic and external factors. It was established that the most significant benefits of technology were operational efficiencies and remote accessibility of real-time operational data. The key enabling factors were found to be robust, affordable infrastructure, the consumerisation of technology, scale and technology-focused leadership. The absence of these factors were regarded as having an inhibitory impact.

▼ Self storage has become a globally recognised and specialised
property investment. Valuation guidelines and annual Industry surveys are available for mature self storage markets worldwide, but currently there is no published South African guideline for self storage expense ratios in terms of total expenses, direct facility operating expenses and portfolio management expenses. These expenses, which are necessary for valuation, are difficult to obtain in the market compared to rental rates, which are publicly advertised to potential tenants. A case study approach was shown to be the applicable research methodology. It was then explained that the methodology consisted of four stages: The first stage describes the method of data collection from the valuation literature and international annual industry surveys. The second stage describes the method of data collection from the international self storage industry by analysing financial statements of international publicly listed self storage portfolios. The third stage describes the method of data collection from South African self storage portfolio case studies. The fourth stage describes how the data is to be analysed to arrive at an expense ratio guideline for South African self storage portfolios. The methodology was then carried out to answer the four research questions.

▼ The purpose of the research was to examine the issues that constrain and facilitate the use of value capture mechanisms by the state in Uganda. Considering that limited research had been undertaken on value capture in Uganda, an exploratory case study approach was used to identify and investigate the issues associated with the use of value capture in Uganda. The identified case study was the Kampala-Entebbe Express Highway. The methodology involved collection of data using the survey method and desktop review of relevant documentation. The survey method was conducted using face to face interviews with carefully selected respondents that were knowledgeable in the
subject matter of the research. Both qualitative and quantitative data were collected. The qualitative data was analysed using thematic analysis with the assistance of Nvivo, a qualitative data analysis tool while descriptive statistics was used to analyse the quantitative data. The findings of the research showed that value is created from the provision of public transport infrastructure. However, there are issues that may constrain the capture of this created value. These included insufficient valuation of land parcels and registration of land ownership, the existing land tenure system, gaps in the policy and legal framework and insufficient institutional capacity.

▼ There is a global challenge and demand in the current century to develop buildings that conserve and preserve the environment; implementing green building features and initiatives (GBFIs) is one way to achieve this. The success of implementing GBFIs requires inclusive participation of the stakeholders in the
property market. A multiple case study analysis was conducted on the Zambian
Property market, involving three buildings that had different GBFIs. A total of six interviews were conducted across the three cases with relevant stakeholders, namely Facilities managers, tenants, project architect and regulatory body representative. Interviewees were asked questions pertaining to their company’s participation in the development of green building, the benefits of GBFIs, the perception of GBFIs, the relationships among stakeholders as well as the impact of GBFIs in the
property market. The findings revealed that there were different approaches to implementing GBFIs. However, a lack of knowledge by some stakeholders on green features and their benefits was noted. This lack of knowledge was a product of inadequate education and poor integration of stakeholders in implementing GBFIs in the Zambian
property market. It is important to note that there are vigorous efforts by stakeholders including the government in contributing to conserving the environment in the Zambian
property industry. This is evident in the formulation of green building guidelines and environmental impact assessment guidelines for the construction industry.
