Subjects/Keywords: In order to ensure long-term adoption and use of augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) technologies; they must be designed to support children to participate within everyday activities and routines that are prioritized by families. Nine parents of children with cerebral palsy who used AAC technologies participated in semi-structured interviews to provide their perspectives of how AAC technologies were integrated into the functional contexts of everyday life. Five major themes emerged from the discussions: (a) integrating AAC into life; (b) AAC technologies; (c) child needs and skills; (d) parent responsibilities and priorities; and (e) AAC process and decision-making. Children were able to use AAC technologies within a variety of everyday contexts with various partners; however; challenges included access to AAC within physical and outdoor activities and partners who lacked knowledge regarding operational competencies and effective interaction strategies. In order to integrate AAC technologies into life; parents prioritized technology features including ease of programming; improved physical design (e.g.; lighter; wearable; easy to mount; durable); features to enhance efficiency and ease of access (e.g.; brain-computer interface; sentence prediction); and availably of multiple functions and features (e.g.; facial recognition software; augmented reality; projection capabilities; capability to control wheelchair). AAC manufacturers and mainstream technology developers should work to ensure that technologies are responsive to the supports; limitations; and ideal features identified by parents. Future research should seek input from a larger group of stakeholders and use longitudinal methods to examine perceptions of AAC technologies over time. Keywords: technology design; augmentative and alternative communication; parents; cerebral palsy; service delivery; technology design; family

▼ Ettevõtted, kellel on aastatepikkune kogemus äriprotsesside haldamises, omavad sageli protsesside repositooriumeid, mis võivad endas sisaldada sadu või isegi tuhandeid äriprotsessimudeleid. Need mudelid pärinevad erinevatest allikatest ja need on loonud ning neid on muutnud erinevad osapooled, kellel on erinevad modelleerimise oskused ning praktikad. üheks sagedaseks praktikaks on uute mudelite loomine, kasutades olemasolevaid mudeleid, kopeerides neist fragmente ning neid seejärel muutes. See omakorda loob olukorra, kus protsessimudelite repositoorium sisaldab mudeleid, milles on identseid mudeli fragmente, mis viitavad samale alamprotsessile. Kui sellised fragmendid jätta konsolideerimata, siis võib see põhjustada repositooriumis ebakõlasid – üks ja sama alamprotsess võib olla erinevates protsessides erinevalt kirjeldatud. Sageli on ettevõtetel mudelid, millel on sarnased eesmärgid, kuid mis on mõeldud erinevate klientide, toodete, äriüksuste või geograafiliste regioonide jaoks. Näiteks on äriprotsessid kodukindlustuse ja autokindlustuse jaoks sama ärilise eesmärgiga. Loomulikult sisaldavad nende protsesside mudelid mitmeid identseid alamfragmente (nagu näiteks poliisi andmete kontrollimine), samas on need protsessid mitmes punktis erinevad. Nende protsesside eraldi haldamine on ebaefektiivne ning tekitab liiasusi. Doktoritöös otsisime vastust küsimusele: kuidas identifitseerida protsessimudelite repositooriumis korduvaid mudelite fragmente, ning üldisemalt – kuidas leida ning konsolideerida sarnasusi suurtes äriprotsessimudelite repositooriumites? Doktoritöös on sisse toodud kaks üksteist täiendavat meetodit äriprotsessimudelite konsolideerimiseks, täpsemalt protsessimudelite ühildamine üheks mudeliks ning mudelifragmentide ekstraktimine. Esimene neist võtab sisendiks kaks või enam protsessimudelit ning konstrueerib neist ühe konsolideeritud protsessimudeli, mis sisaldab kõikide sisendmudelite käitumist. Selline lähenemine võimaldab analüütikutel hallata korraga tervet perekonda sarnaseid mudeleid ning neid muuta sünkroniseeritud viisil. Teine lähenemine, alamprotsesside ekstraktimine, sisaldab endas sagedasti esinevate fragmentide identifitseerimist (protsessimudelites kloonide leidmist) ning nende kapseldamist alamprotsessideks.

Subjects/Keywords: Companies that have years of experience in business process management often maintain repositories containing hundreds or even thousands of business process models. The models in these repositories usually originate from various sources and are developed by different stakeholders. A common practice is that new process models are created by extending or refining existing models, or by copying and merging fragments from multiple models. As a result, process models tend to accumulate duplicate fragments which, if left unconsolidated, may evolve independently and lead to inconsistencies. Also, it often occurs that organizations manage multiple business processes that have similar goals, but pertain to different customer types, different products, business units or geographical regions. For example, a business process for handling insurance claims for motor accidents shares the same goal as a business process for handling house insurance claims. Naturally, these models will share several common fragments, but will differ from one another at various points. Managing these processes as entirely separate entities, leads to redundancy and inefficiency. In this setting, this thesis addresses the following question: How to identify duplicate fragments in process model repositories, and more generally, how to identify and consolidate commonalities across models in a large process model repository? The thesis proposes two complementary methods for process model consolidation, namely process model merging and subprocess extraction. Process model merging takes as input two or more process models and produces a single consolidated model that analysts can use to manage entire families of similar process models rather than managing them independently. On the other hand, subprocess extraction is about identifying fragments that are shared by multiple process models (also known as clones) and encapsulating these clones as separate subprocesses in order to eliminate redundancies.; business processes; models; software development; äriprotsessid; mudelid; tarkvaraarendus

Masters Research - Master of Philosophy (MPhil)

Changes in rural landscapes can lead to conflict between stakeholders as shared landscapes are expected to carry an increasing number of functions. Instances of land use conflict could reflect negatively on a tourist destination and deter potential visitors from opting to visit destinations experiencing such conflicts through public debate that may convey a negative or inconsistent public image. Land use conflict also has negative implications for the stakeholder groups invested in a region. This thesis sought to explore land use conflict in greater depth, from the perspectives of multiple stakeholder groups. This thesis followed the framework of Social Representations theory for the purpose of understanding stakeholder group behaviour within land use conflict. The supporting research for this thesis employed a qualitative research design and gathered data through semi-structured interviews with 13 participants from five selected stakeholder groups. Findings suggest that land use conflict could potentially be attributed to incompatible representations of the Upper Hunter Valley landscape, which for participating stakeholder groups constitutes a shared social object significant to them. Within the representations of the Valley landscape held by stakeholder groups selected for this study, particular points of similarity and incompatibility were identified such as production or protection values attributed to the landscape that suggest areas that may require management towards conflict resolution, and opportunities for collaborative land management of the Upper Hunter Valley). This thesis also found that the experience of land use conflict in the Upper Hunter Valley could be linked to broader changes in rural areas across Australia: relating to landscape changes and new functions rural landscapes are increasingly expected to perform. This thesis concluded by, considering suggestions of specific areas that may be addressed to assist the resolution of land use conflict, discussing the implications of land use conflict and resolution for tourism, and providing recommendations for future research.

▼ As populations grow and urban centres expand, meeting water demand and wastewater management requirements will become increasingly difficult. Goal 6 of the Sustainable Development Goals is to: 'Ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all'. Part of the approach to achieving this will be reusing wastewater and will require a greater understanding of the institutional arrangements that support or obstruct reuse. This research was designed to achieve this and aimed to develop a set of factors that investors could use to assess the institutional feasibility of reuse in a given setting. The methodology combined a case study approach, focusing on wastewater systems in Bangalore, India and Hanoi, Vietnam, with triangle analysis to assess: the content of policies and laws; the structures (formal and informal) to implement laws and reuse projects; and the culture around acceptance and engagement in reuse. The reuse practices observed in Bangalore were treatment and use within apartments, centralized treatment and sale to industries, use in agriculture after natural attenuation, groundwater recharge and lake regeneration. In Hanoi the only reuse was indirect use from rivers feeding fish ponds and fields, although formal treatment and use is planned. Critically, both cities have environmental and water resources policies and laws that advocate reuse, as well as related local legislation. However, support for reuse is not reciprocated in industrial, agricultural or fisheries law, the result being that reuse does not always take place as planned. Legislation is required along the whole sanitation chain to the point of wastewater use. Structures to implement reuse are also vital. In Bangalore the water board has initiated reuse projects and established the New Initiatives Division but resources are a limiting factor. Effective institutions include expertise, manpower and financing mechanisms, which are lacking in both cities. The environment agency is also engaged in reuse though legislation on recycling in residential and commercial complexes but guidance for users is inadequate, expectations are perceived to be excessive and monitoring is almost impossible. The driver for reuse is increasingly the benefits observed by users. In the case of apartments this is a reliable water source and reduced costs of water supply. As a result, a private sector in wastewater treatment is becoming established. The active civil society and strong, independent media are instrumental in providing information to potential users and holding authorities to account in Bangalore. Their absence in Hanoi is notable. In summary, institutional elements to be considered are: supportive legislation across all sectors; details of acceptable reuse, deterrents and inducements; budget allocation; structures to enable reuse; strong civil society, NGOs, courts, media and universities providing evidence of suitability and safety; donors and finance mechanisms; and stakeholders willing to use the products. Encumbrances are…

▼ This thesis advances capability in agricultural land use planning by considering how human-natural system interactions influence agricultural land use patterns. The research has developed an approach to simulation of different agricultural scenarios through integrating spatial agent-based modelling (ABM) with geographic information systems (GIS). This approach enables the biophysical and the human factors that influence regional development to be integrated into models that can generate a range of future scenarios for planning purposes. The outputs of this research will enable farmers, land use planners and policymakers such as local government to use it as a tool to gain insights into potential agricultural land use changes and new options for irrigated land to assist them in their decision-making. The complexity of land use planning – specifically agricultural land use planning in Australia – raises considerations about what methods and planning support tools might effectively aid decision-making on land and water resources. Too often land use decisions made by farmers and the cumulative impact of those decisions are not reflected in land use planning, nor is their response to change and innovation. This thesis addresses these drawbacks by developing a simulation model designed to explore agricultural land use scenarios through a bottom-up planning approach. The pragmatic nature of this research required an advanced mixed method design to enable qualitative and quantitative data collection and analysis across a multistage process. This study had three stages similar to the Geodesign methodology (notably agent-based design), implemented in its adaptation via Agent Analyst software, the outcome of which was the Crop GIS-ABM. In stage one, a cross section of stakeholders (farmers, planners, local government and State irrigation bodies) were interviewed and surveyed to identify key factors that influence farmers’ land use decisions. These qualitative and quantitative data were merged to frame a conceptual model of farmer decision-making. In stage two, the workflow for the integration of stakeholders’ insights and knowledge with spatial ABM was mapped and the influential decision factors were synthesised into algorithms, and the Crop GIS-ABM was developed. In the third stage, the model was run to simulate a set of agricultural scenarios and explore how farmers make decisions under changing conditions such as introduction of a new irrigation scheme or new alternative crops. The Dorset region in Northern Tasmania was selected as a case study to ‘test’ the simulation model for largely pragmatic reasons of proximity, local relevance, available GIS data as well as experiencing change transitioning from traditional crops to higher value-added production as access to guaranteed water expands. This research demonstrates the potential effectiveness of a spatial ABM as a decision support simulation tool for agricultural land use planning. The Crop GIS-ABM makes an important contribution to the literature on spatial ABM…

▼ This paper uses an exploratory multiple case study research approach to investigate three bottom-up temporary use projects in Malmö. The aim is to provide an understanding of starting processes of temporary use through a project lens with a focus on phases and activities; key stakeholders and motivations; and project key enablers. Regarding temporary use project phases and activities, this study found that there are five steps/phases among the three cases: (1) inspiration; (2) ideation and feasibility; (3) preparation; (4) implementation; and (5) on-going operation. Furthermore, the common key stakeholders found in the projects are founders; landowner; intermediary; authority; temporary user (participant, volunteer, or tenant); researcher; local community; and funding body. Although the stakeholder groups were pretty similar, they engaged in different intensities in different projects. Their different motivations can be grouped in three different groups: personal interest; assigned task; or monetary incentive. Some stakeholders had mixed motivation. Moreover, this paper discovers 14 key project enablers: (1) municipality support; (2) landowner support; (3) intermediary support; (4) financial support; (5) communication & expectation management; (6) network; (7) good planning; (8) community support; (9) openness and engagement; (10) partnership; (11) space and location advantage; (12) project team and entrepreneurial mindset; (13) luck; and (14) influence from the neighbor city. The study recommends creating a municipal temporary use activating unit in order to grow this type of bottom-up movement in the city. This recommendation is in line with the discourse of the researchers in integrating bottom-up temporary use into the strategy and planning level of top-down activities. This research might allow future project leaders to get reference points and guidance for their own bottom-up temporary use projects, as well as provides understanding to researchers who are interested in temporary use and other bottom-up urban development fields.

▼ Local natural resources (LNRs) are essential for the socioeconomy of rural societies. The United Nations (UN) Agenda 21 and “Our Common Future” state that local spatial planning is central for the prospect of balancing ecological, social and economic sustainable development (SuD). Stakeholder participation in spatial planning enhances acceptance and improves preconditions for successful planning outcomes. Consequently, it is important to increase knowledge about LNRs and the use of them and to integrate such knowledge in local spatial participatory planning with a landscape perspective. These opening statements apply to Swedish boreal municipalities and describe the intentions of Swedish municipal comprehensive planning (MCP). The purpose of this work was to examine and analyze the preconditions for integrating MCP with a landscape perspective in rural municipalities. The thesis is based on case studies in Swedish, rural, municipal contexts reported in five papers. In Papers I & II, local businesses in Vilhelmina Municipality were surveyed to describe the societal importance of LNRs. The results showed that LNRs are vital to 78 % of the businesses, of which half are based on forest farming, and there are strong bonds between entrepreneurs, their businesses, the municipality and LNRs. Papers III & IV present and discuss the characteristics of MCP in theory and practice. An e-mail survey was sent to municipal officials in all Swedish mountain municipalities. MCP-stakeholders in municipalities in Bergslagen, in central Sweden, were interviewed. Respondents in both case studies stated a belief that MCP can offer prospects in planning for SuD. However, resources and stakeholder participation in planning are generally scarce, especially in rural municipalities. Paper V illustrates how new knowledge on forest land use (to support MCP) can be gained by combining spatial and temporal data on forest condition, owners and land use values in a geographic information system (GIS). This thesis provides scientific and practical contributions to aid in efforts aiming for SuD. It is done by framing MCP theoretically and contextually and by suggesting that MCP should be extended to include forest land use and by stressing the rural context in local spatial participatory planning. Opportunities in MCP have to be embraced, but local governments need enhanced knowledge about local land use, specifically forest land use. Moreover, stakeholder participation needs to be developed, requiring more resources. In the case of a Swedish rural municipality, it is crucial that efforts are made to develop MCP as a tool, not just in theory but also in practice.

▼ This thesis was aimed at the development of a Geographical Information System (GIS) based model to support the Rwanda Land Use and Development Master Plan. Developing sustainable land management is the main task of this master plan. Stakeholder’s involvement was of key importance. Their demands should be analysed and visualised to support discussions and the decision-making process. Spatial Multicriteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) is a proven method for land-use planning purposes. However, most land-use planning applications focus on a specific theme, such as urban development. In addition, land-use planning is often limited to a relatively small area. This thesis focused at the development of a countrywide GIS model, containing all land-uses accommodated in three main land-use categories: urban, agriculture and conservation. The GIS model was largely based on the Land-Use Conflict Identification Strategy (LUCIS) model. Many of the goals, objectives, and subobjectives that described the earlier mentioned land-use categories were adopted from the original model. However, a significant number of them were dropped, and new were created to suit the Rwandan situation. Stakeholder’s involvement was realized by assigning weights to the goals and preference maps. The Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) was used as weighting method. ESRI’s ArcGIS ModelBuilder was used to give the model shape in the GIS. Firstly, suitability maps were created of all elements in the model. The suitability maps were then transformed into preference maps by weighting them. In the next step the preference maps were collapsed in three classes: low, medium and high preference. Finally, the preference maps of the three land-use categories were combined, in order to visualize conflict areas. Ortho photos proved to be useful when acting as reference for the suitability and preference maps. Despite a large number of missing datasets, the GIS model was executed to simplify the understanding. However, many of the obtained results were unreliable because of the incompleteness of datasets, and can therefore not be used for decision-making. Unfortunately, due to the stage of the project it was not possible to obtain weights from the stakeholders, and should therefore be done when the time is right. Right Choice DSS, a very user-friendly decision support application, was proposed to use for calculating weights. To conclude, the developed GIS model integrated countrywide land-use suitability mapping and stakeholders’ wishes that can be used for discussions and decision making.
