▼ Elderly suffering from dementia go through a difficult and confusing time from the moment they start to show symptoms of dementia. During this time, the process of dementia can only be slowed down. It has the looks of it that there isn’t anything more that can be done, but to make them feel as comfortable as possible for the time being. Although it looks like ‘just’ softening of circumstances, this could actually contribute to the wellbeing of elderly suffering from dementia. The theme of ‘well-being’ is inextricably connected the feeling of ‘comfort’. The task that lies before us can be promoted by this research question: How do you create an environment that makes elderly suffering from dementia feel at as comfortable as they used to feel at home, despite the fact that they find themselves in a surrounding that is not their home? The findings of this research focuses the organisational aspects of environments. Although there are a lot preferences that help to feel a elder suffering from dementia more comfortable on climate-level, this research puts emphasis on how the set-up of a building can make one experience more comfort. When the sequences of spaces is similar to the sequences of a normal home, while approaching a living room, it contributes to well-being of the elderly suffering from dementia. In the old traditional elderly housing communal areas tented to fail their function as living rooms, hallways are long and monotonous and outdoor space along with the entry towards these spaces are rare. The different gradients in spaces will avoid confusion of dementia sufferers. It helps to find one’s own place within a environment. Feeling at home does not end at the border of a room or building. Also, creating resident-groups with a similar background makes it easier for residents to connect to their environment. Activities and functions can be aimed towards the mind of a smaller group instead of trying to entertain a large group all at once. Residents will understand the behaviour of their fellow-residents preventing confusion and agitation. Furthermore, the environment that has a small scale and works like an household will also function as a one, creating possibilities for dementia sufferers to contribute to this and gain responsibility and develop more self confidents. This confidents helps elderly suffering from dementia to feel less confused when difficult moments occur. In addition, as result of the inability to function properly at everyday situations the world of dementia sufferers is becoming smaller with time; it is important that they still experience a sense of control over their own lives. When they still have a world where they can move freely, it already contributes to the experience of freedom and not feeling locked up. Also, a sense of control can be provided by a wide range of alternatives concerning from as small as different seatings in common areas to various activities that can be held at the account of the dementia sufferers but also includes third parties.

▼ While there is plenty of literature on most types of community gardens, there is none in the space of neighbourhood house gardens. Neighbourhood houses are places focused on community development, targeting the needs of residents in the local area, with a particular focus on disadvantaged groups. Gardens in these contexts are different to stand-alone community gardens due to their attachment to a service provider, in this case, one that provides for individuals and groups attending the neighbourhood house for programs, classes, assistance, and leisure. How the garden is in turn used may reflect what these spaces are trying to achieve for the disadvantaged community members they serve. This research investigated neighbourhood house gardens in Melbourne. The aim of this study was to understand what roles the gardens fulfil, their purpose, who uses them, and how they function. Comparing them to stand-alone community gardens reveals how these spaces deal with the issues associated with community gardening. A mixed-methodology was employed to uncover information about neighbourhood houses across Melbourne, using a desktop review and phone survey to provide an overview of gardens, and semi-structured interviews with four garden coordinators in four houses across Melbourne, to gain a more detailed look at how some of these gardens are used. Most gardens are governed by the house and operates both as an extended classroom and as a productive garden servicing the house and its attendees. Neighbourhood houses use gardens for purposes that extend beyond food production, most notably, as educational spaces for learning outcomes. People from culturally diverse backgrounds use them to learn about food in Australia, and to learn English. Produce is used to supplement the diets of severely disadvantaged groups. Gardens are also places of leisure and interaction between people who use the neighbourhood house but do not necessarily garden in the space. Gardens are operated with a communal system, with only a handful of houses using individual plots and paid memberships, like those found in most stand-alone gardens. Gardeners volunteer their time and labour in the space, and will harvest produce for their own use, for the house to use in its own programs or distribute to other house attendees, or produce is made available to the wider public by ensuring the garden is open access. Neighbourhood house gardens can potentially overcome some of the issues related to ownership and exclusivity found in stand-alone gardens due to their operation as communal and collective spaces. However tensions are ever present and are managed accordingly by staff. The house plays a major role in shaping the space, choosing what outcomes are to be prioritised, and deciding the direction of the space. Volunteers are often consulted when deciding plants, however this is mainly under the control of the house and its representatives in the garden: coordinators and employed garden staff. While much is intended for these spaces, the perspectives of…

▼ INTRODUCTION: Canada’s Aboriginal population is growing at a faster rate than the rest of Canada. While Aboriginal health has improved in the last few decades, life expectancy of First Nations, Inuit and Métis continues to be lower compared to the rest of the Canadian population. Furthermore, current Aboriginal health research tends to focus on those living onreserves while more than half of the Aboriginal population currently resides in urban areas. Despite the importance of neighbourhood factors for understanding health in urban areas, the importance of neighbourhood characteristic for urban Aboriginal health has yet to be examined. OBJECTIVE: The objective of the research was, to determine both individual-level predictors and neighbourhood-level predictors of self-rated health and diagnosis of chronic conditions, amongst Aboriginal populations living in the City of Toronto; and to determine whether and how neighbourhood-level predictors influence individual-level predictors of self-rated health and diagnosis of a chronic conditions in Toronto neighbourhoods with Aboriginal populations living in them. METHODS: This study was a secondary analysis of two samples from the 2006 Aboriginal people Survey, consisting of 1080 and 500 Aboriginal individuals in the Toronto Census Metropolitan Area. A series of logistic regressions models were created to identify individual and neighbourhood predictors of “poor” self-rated health and having one or more diagnosed chronic condition(s). RESULTS: A best fitting model was derived from the individual-level variables to include the demographic variables age, gender and Aboriginal status; and the socio-economic variables average household income, education level and employment status. While neighbourhood-level variables had no significant influence in predicting either health outcome, there was some evidence to suggest influence over individual-level predictors. To further examine this relation, neighbourhoods were stratified based on income inequality, average household income and availability of Aboriginal specific services. This analysis yielded some different effects of individual-level variables for different neighbourhood types, suggesting that some effects of neighbourhood characteristics may interact with individual characteristics to influence health. CONCLUSION: While contextual factors have some effect on self-rated health, individual factors serve as stronger predictors of individual health. However, more neighbourhood level studies should be considered in order to better understand the growing urban Aboriginal population and potential ecological effects on health.

▼ Older adults engage in activities to care for themselves, enjoy life, and contribute to society. Participation in activities is important for health, quality of life, and successful aging. Activities influence and are influenced by the environments in which they occur. Little is known about everyday activities within neighbourhood environments from an occupational therapy perspective. Yet, neighbourhoods become increasingly important with advancing age as older adults spend more time closer to home. There is also a need to consider the perspectives of older women. Hence, I conducted a qualitative study to explore the everyday activities of older women residing in inner city neighbourhoods. Interpretive Description guided this qualitative study. Twenty-eight in-depth home and go-along interviews were conducted with 11 women aged 70+ years and residing in two Edmonton inner city neighbourhoods. Interviews were digitally recorded and transcribed verbatim. Other data included 28 sets of interview notes and eight documents (e.g., newspaper articles and emails). Conventional content analysis guided data analysis. Trustworthiness strategies included prolonged engagement, verification for data accuracy, use of multiple data generation strategies and an audit trail, peer debrief, thick description, reflexive journaling, and an external audit. The concept neighbourhood embeddedness emerged from the findings. It describes the state of being enmeshed into a neighbourhood, which was observed in varying degrees among participants. Neighbourhood embeddedness contains three components: neighbourhood sage, neighbourhood connected, and activities as catalysts and bridges to neighbourhood. Neighbourhood sage describes the knowledge and know-how needed to participate in everyday activities in inner city neighbourhoods. Neighbourhood connected refers to ties to neighbourhood places and people, which may result in an emotional attachment to neighbourhoods. Everyday activities are catalysts and bridges to neighbourhood. They play an essential role in engaging older women in their neighbourhoods and ultimately becoming neighbourhood sage, connected, and embedded. Because neighbourhood embeddedness increases older women’s familiarity, comfort, and resources, it helps them to live in the city; that is, to engage in meaningful activities despite physical and social challenges present in the inner city. These findings have several implications. They reinforce that neighbourhoods matter in the lives of older women as they are sites for everyday activity. Even those activities that typically occur at home (e.g., cooking, home maintenance, reading) require older women to leave their homes and enter their neighbourhoods, especially those older women who live alone and who have limited support for day-to-day activities. As everyday activities have purposes beyond self-care, productivity, and leisure, occupational therapists could encourage older women to participate in everyday activities as a means of becoming neighbourhood sage, connected, and…

▼ The phenomenon of urban identity escapes narrow definition. Its relevance to the interior design context arises as a tool for regeneration where it can assist to capitalize on the potential of particular places and social relations that distinguish one location from another. The city is a constant interplay of human actions. Small moments and rituals that take place with human activity give rise to the everyday interaction between people with one other and with their environment. It is specifically on this human scale that interior design offers the possibility to explore the physical manipulation of space and form to influence interaction. Circulation and interior elements become a means to promote socialisation across different cultural groups and generations. Social friction represents the traditional societal aspect when considering interaction. Here its importance is not diminished but is put on par with the tactile dimensions of the physical as well as the visual. The interrelatedness of the social, physical and visual elements is set against the emerging topic of neighbourhood regeneration. Identity is here considered to be part of the core essence of a sense of place and belonging, which ensures that the regeneration is driven by the local residents, both as individuals and collectively as a community. In the specific context of Sunnyside and Trevenna, which is an area that has undergone many demographic and physical changes, the possibility of a built space as a platform for different people to engage with one another and their surroundings is investigated. Such as intervention aims to instil a sense of ownership, to define the desired atmosphere and to provide a space where collective values for the shifting neighbourhood can be navigated. The design explores this relation between formal design and informal activities through the proposal of a new morphology in form of a public space and café on the ground floor, and a youth aftercare centre on the upper two floors that incorporates desirable aspects of the original structure’s functions. Advisors/Committee Members: Karusseit, Catherine (advisor), Barker, Arthur Adrian Johnson (advisor), Laubscher, Jacques (advisor).

Urbanization is a dominant geographic trend and that has affected cities especially those newlinethat have green spaces as part of their traditional culture. Our towns and cities are newlinegrowing at such an unprecedented rate that by 2050, 6 billion people are projected to be newlineliving within cities. This dramatic transformation over the recent years has strongly influenced the human social and cultural attributes. Development is fast changing the identities of cities, however our knowledge and understanding of their effects on urbanscapes and ecology, and its consequences on human wellbeing is far from complete. Green spaces are being lost to various developments, resulting in poor environmental conditions and a growing disconnect between humans and nature. Bangalore, which traditionally comprised of diverse green spaces such as large green newlinespaces, Heritage Parks (HPs) to small home gardens, are all decimated due to development. The transformation from Garden City to IT City has brought along newlinemixed cultures and changed lifestyles, which has affected the city s culture and practices newlineassociated with green spaces. The unprecedented growth within the city has allowed for the development of newer pocket green spaces, Neighbourhood Parks (NPs) which no longer resemble the traditional wooded green spaces but represent the modern trendy newlinegreen spaces with little or no woodiness in them. Although there is increasing dependence on NPs, they remain ignored, neglected and lack newlinestewardship. This study focuses on the reasons for such negligence towards NPs, in spite of these small green spaces providing various ecosystem services to the neighbourhood communities. Also, I emphasize on the importance of ordinary nature which may not provision ecosystem services at the magnitude of the large green spaces, but can still provision a certain level of services, which is essential and can improve human well newlinebeing.

The past several years have witnessed significant interest in the role that residential neighbourhoods play in shaping child development. There is evidence that contextual attributes of neighbourhoods exert an influence on development, over and above compositional characteristics. These findings suggest that neighbourhood-based interventions may be successful at improving population-level child development outcomes, over policy aimed at individual-based change. However, the reliance on respondent perception of neighbourhood attributes in the existing research is vulnerable to bias. Thus this research employing a quantitative approach to the study of the neighbourhood built environment addresses a significant gap. Drawing from independent sets of data, linked geographically (Early Development Instrument, Google Street View-Systematic Social Observation of a random sample of street segments in each census tract, and the Canadian Marginalization Index), I use correlation and regression analysis to examine the link between neighbourhood physical disorder and child-friendliness, structural disadvantage, and child development at the census tract level in Victoria, B.C. Results indicate physical disorder is the neighbourhood attribute having the most salient impact across multiple domains of child development. Furthermore, the link between neighbourhood child-friendliness and most EDI domains was not in the direction or as significant as hypothesized. This may suggest the need for a more detailed measurement tool to assess quality of each feature as well as presence or absence. Findings also indicate that physical disorder and structural disadvantage may be on the same causal pathway towards shaping children’s health and wellbeing.Overall, this research improves our understanding of the complex interaction between children and their neighbourhoods, and its contribution to healthy development. By identifying the need for a more detailed measurement tool, this research provides evidence for the design of future studies. Furthermore, findings from this study provide evidence in support of population-level intervention to promote healthy child development through improvement of neighbourhood aesthetic.

▼ A challenge facing researchers is to understand how neighbourhood ‘gets under the skin’, influencing the health and wellbeing of those who live there. There is mixed evidence, and increasingly sophisticated theoretical explanations, concerning the health effects of neighbourhood characteristics. However, there is an empirical gap created by the emphasis on neighbourhood characteristics or experiences at a single point in time, with comparatively little attention given to the biographical accumulation of experiences in the varying residential contexts encountered throughout the lifecourse. My research explored if and how experiences of neighbourhood are carried forward as people move from place to place; and if and how those experiences influence everyday habits that enable or undermine personal health and wellbeing. Through a life-story narrative inquiry, including structural analysis and both within-case and cross-case thematic analyses, the recollections and reflections of sixteen women living in Wellington, New Zealand, were explored to see how childhood experiences inform present-day perceptions, preferences, and practices towards their residential area and their attentiveness to health and wellbeing through active living and food. Health and wellbeing were found to be enabled by the childhood experience of a sense of neighbourhood belonging. Participants’ narratively reconstructed recollections suggest that their childhood experiences of neighbourhood belonging came about through an everyday practice of unsupervised, unstructured play with nearby peers in public and private neighbourhood spaces. Their narratives suggest such spaces to be ‘third places’ of the children’s making, with as much relevance to their young lives as is claimed of third places in the lives of adults. A childhood engagement with third places of the local children’s making is shown to be related to the development and embodiment of knowledge about trustworthiness, resulting in an ability to form mutually beneficial social relations with children living nearby. As adults, participants who had experienced a sense of neighbourhood belonging in childhood consciously worked toward developing neighbourly reciprocal social relations in adulthood, in the expectation of convivial camaraderie that sometimes extended to practical support. The study suggests that belonging to such informal social networks is positively associated with everyday practices of self-care that benefit health and wellbeing. My research suggests the third places of childhood to be an important mechanism for the embodiment of neighbourhood that has hitherto been overlooked in the quest to understand how place gets under the skin, having enduring implications for health and wellbeing across the lifecourse.

▼ Savannas are socio-economically important ecosystems, which support high floral and faunal diversity. This biome covers large areas of Africa, Australia, South America, India and parts of North America, and is comprised of a mixture of grasses and woody plant biomass. Most empirical studies of savanna ecology have focused primarily on the interactions between trees and grasses, especially at the seedling stage where recruitment is regarded as a key driver of savanna dynamics. However, studies of interactions between woody savanna plants, such as competition and facilitation, are less common in the literature. Considering the increasingly negative effects of woody plant encroachment and global climate change, interactions between woody plants need to be closely monitored and evaluated. In this thesis, I investigated the effects of neighbourhood competition on four dominant tree species from humid savannas (receiving more than 1000 mm of mean annual rainfall, hereafter referred to as “humid species”) and four dominant tree species from mesic savannas (receiving around 650 mm of mean annual rainfall, hereafter referred to as “mesic species”). I employed a greenhouse-based study to examine the effects of neighbour density on the growth, survival and biomass of savanna tree seedling species. I quantified two aspects of competitive ability (competitive effect and response), and compiled competitive hierarchies for both groups. In addition, I correlated competitive ability with several plant traits. Using field surveys of natural stands of Acacia karroo from humid savanna sites across KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, I examined the spatial patterns and competitive interactions between trees. A greenhouse experiment revealed that mesic species suffered high levels of mortality when exposed to increasing neighbour density, while humid species were relatively unaffected in terms of survival. However, mesic species were able to maintain constant relative growth rates (RGR) despite increasing neighbourhood competition while the RGR of humid species decreased as neighbour density increased. The total biomass of both humid and mesic species also declined as the neighbourhood competition increased. In terms of competitive effect and response, we found that these two aspects of competitive ability were not concordant (i.e. good effect competitors were not necessarily good response competitors). Lastly, we found that plant traits such as specific leaf area and above-ground features (e.g. shoot biomass and leaf number) were significantly related to the competitive response or effect of savanna tree seedlings. Spatial distribution patterns of a dominant humid savanna species, Acacia karroo, revealed that juvenile plants are aggregated, as expected due to facilitation, seed dispersal and vegetative reproduction. However, the regular spacing of larger individuals due to competition and density-dependant mortality were not detected. We found, using nearest neighbour analysis, that trees with closer neighbours had smaller canopy diameters.… Advisors/Committee Members: Ward, David Mercer. (advisor).

▼ Although sporadic attacks on fire crews have long been acknowledged as an occupational hazard facing the fire service, in the mid 2000s, attacks seemed to be increasing in both prevalence and severity, accompanied by a feeling that fire safety messages were being resisted in certain communities. However, those communities were also those typified by numerous fire risk factors, potentially endangering people and property. In recognition of this growing problem, Avon Fire and Rescue Service (AFRS) and Great Western Research (GWR) established this research project at UWE to explore issues of hostility and resistance to fire safety messages, particularly in certain communities. The research is underpinned by social identity approaches, which look at the nature of the group dynamic and interaction between residents and fire fighters, positing that group membership has the potential to lead to conflict in and of itself, but especially where those groups are in proximate and appropriate contexts, such as those found in hard pressed neighbourhoods. This research project utilised qualitative methods to examine this relationship, starting with an ethnographic enquiry alongside operational fire fighters. A second study used focus groups in three neighbourhoods to examine residents’ perspectives, and a third looked at a series of interactions in community settings. Findings suggest a mutual distrust of non-group members, whereby residents resent fire fighters for their intrusion into neighbourhoods and fire fighters resent residents for requiring interventions into their community. Both parties had strong feelings about what fire fighters ought to be doing, and this fitted in with ideas of traditional roles of fire fighting and gender distinctions within communities. There are a number of implications for the FRS in this research project, including an ongoing need to address expectations both of operational fire fighters, for example through recruitment, and residents themselves who engage with fire fighters as one of a panoply of public services, rather than as the unique service provider that fire fighters consider themselves.

▼ Never in the history of the world have so many humans lived for so long, with over 11% of the world's current population being 60 years old and older. Australia and Japan are the countries in the Western Pacific region with the highest proportion of older people aged 65 years old and over, estimated to reach 18.3% and 31.2% respectively by 2030. This demographic transition represents a significant challenge for health and social care systems. In this context, a study of frailty is of particular interest as we move away from disease-oriented models of care to more patient-oriented integrated care, considering biological and non-biological causes of disease. Frailty is defined as a state of extreme vulnerability to intrinsic and extrinsic stressors leading to an increased risk of adverse outcomes, such as hospitalisation, institutionalisation and death. The risk of frailty increases with age, with worldwide prevalence varying from 4.0% to 59.1%, depending on which criteria used and clinical context. The role of place in older adults’ health is not a new concept but has only recently been recognised as important for the achievement of healthy ageing. Although there is some research suggesting that the neighbourhood built environment is associated with walking, physical activity and well-being in older adults, very little has been done to investigate the relationships between frailty, objective neighbourhood environment and individual perceptions of the neighbourhood environment. This research sought to understand relationships between these factors in two culturally different cities, Nagoya, Japan and Adelaide, Australia. The interdisciplinary nature of the research required the development of new methods and the conduct of quantitative and mixed-method projects. Firstly we (1) assessed the level of importance medical students assigned to the topic of frailty after taking a geriatric medical course, along with their self-perceived competence in the area of frailty diagnosis and care. Then, a range of projects were undertaken to investigate the associations between neighbourhood environment and frailty: (2) a feasibility study of the research tools; (3) a mixed-method study investigating older adults’ experiences and perceptions of the public space of a hospital; (4) the development of a frailty index for the analysis of (5) the association between frailty and neighbourhood perceptions in older adults from Nagoya and (6), with similar methodology, investigation of the same associations in older adults from Adelaide, with adjustment for the objective environment. The initial feasibility study (2) identified successful recruiting strategies for frail older adults, as well as issues that needed to be addressed to improve execution and acceptance by older adults. The mixed-method study (3) identified aspects of the built environment that could be directly associated with older adults’ intrinsic capacity and elements that were facilitators or barriers to the use of the built space. Several themes were identified as associated… Advisors/Committee Members: Visvanathan, Renuka (advisor), Barrie, Helen (advisor), Adelaide Medical School (school).

▼ This study will offer an insight into the complex living of a group of mid-thirties males in a small neighbourhood and describe their personal career journeys. In particular, the study will highlight the complex influence of social capital, the men’s personal development through the ‘opportunity structure’ (K. Roberts, 1977) and how chance along with place of residence impact on career advancement. There have been numerous studies that have sought to discover why people make stereotypical career choices. More specifically, how male stereotyping can influence career choice and shape identity. However, many studies fail to tackle the influence of neighbourhood and family bonding which engulfs the male individual to create a very close knit masculine gang of individuals. By taking the epistemological position of interpretivism and using a narrative interview approach, along with a life history tradition, this research addresses these shortcomings. Additionally, Bourdieu’s (1985) concept of social field is employed within this study to represent the various social arenas in which young people spend their time. This notion of fields, along with the concepts of ‘habitus’ and ‘capital’ (Bourdieu, 1985, 1986) are seen to create an effective framework for understanding the social worlds of young people and the community in which they belong. The data is drawn from 10 in-depth interviews with men in their mid-thirties, who were born and raised in an inner city neighbourhood. Despite poverty, deprivation and social exclusion, these 10 men now have a career but choose not to leave the neighbourhood of their birth. They have each turned their life around by being confident, persistent, and determined to succeed, thereby empowering other individuals and their community, to build their own ladders out of poverty and towards a brighter future. However, this is a close knit network of friends and family that according to the headteacher in the local secondary school are ‘unwilling to move the boundaries of opportunity and rely too much on the ways of the past’. Each interviewee has a story to tell and these stories are interwoven and analysed through common themes explored in depth in the thesis. These stories map out a career trajectory that is based on rites of passage into adulthood and an adult sense of masculinity. Throughout the interviews evidence is provided to support the argument that ‘opportunity structure’ (K. Roberts, 1977) plays an important role in the career path of young people. Furthermore, it is argued that career choice is a developmental process with many twists and turns along the way. However, it is further argued that an identity based on age, location, ethnicity, along with common interests and a shared purpose, creates a closed shop ethos, where education and employment are shaped by elders within the family and close friends. In fact, because everyone knows everyone else, a strong common bond between family and friends is displayed, this creates strong loyalties which are manifested in the behaviour of each…

▼

Vacancy in high-rise office buildings has over the last decade become an increasing problem in many cities around the world. Within Europe, the problem is especially true in Netherlands with over 7 million square meters vacant as of 2012. Current solutions to this issue involve conversion to residential spaces, updating and upgrading the office technologically to attract companies, or failing that demolition. However, none of these solution changes the nature of the tower typology. By its nature, a tower is a highly antisocial building. Despite being a highly populated environment, inhabitants are largely segregated by floors that are connected by an elevator. The only usable space for social interaction and public activities is located at the ground level around the building. It is only here where the tower has any interaction with the city and the street therefore limiting the public realm to a horizontal landscape. By extending the street into the building and elevating it with a series of ramps and varying vertical circulation, social spaces and areas for interactivity can be expanded to encompass more space within a city. This verticality allows for areas such as functions that require close proximity to main roads to be stacked in a way that leaves a smaller footprint in growing cities. By applying this concept to existing vacant towers, the urban fabric and city skyline does not need to be changed dramatically thus retaining the overall feel of any given city. Functions that are introduced into these spaces should always have a practical and desired use, and with this in mind the local populace must be an active player in the conception process. By coupling these needs with city planning, the introduction of this system can change the way towers are used in the future and ensure spaces that will be in constant use by city dwellers.

▼ The phenomenon of urban identity escapes narrow definition. Its relevance to the interior design context arises as a tool for regeneration where it can assist to capitalize on the potential of particular places and social relations that distinguish one location from another. The city is a constant interplay of human actions. Small moments and rituals that take place with human activity give rise to the everyday interaction between people with one other and with their environment. It is specifically on this human scale that interior design offers the possibility to explore the physical manipulation of space and form to influence interaction. Circulation and interior elements become a means to promote socialisation across different cultural groups and generations. Social friction represents the traditional societal aspect when considering interaction. Here its importance is not diminished but is put on par with the tactile dimensions of the physical as well as the visual. The interrelatedness of the social, physical and visual elements is set against the emerging topic of neighbourhood regeneration. Identity is here considered to be part of the core essence of a sense of place and belonging, which ensures that the regeneration is driven by the local residents, both as individuals and collectively as a community. In the specific context of Sunnyside and Trevenna, which is an area that has undergone many demographic and physical changes, the possibility of a built space as a platform for different people to engage with one another and their surroundings is investigated. Such as intervention aims to instil a sense of ownership, to define the desired atmosphere and to provide a space where collective values for the shifting neighbourhood can be navigated. The design explores this relation between formal design and informal activities through the proposal of a new morphology in form of a public space and café on the ground floor, and a youth aftercare centre on the upper two floors that incorporates desirable aspects of the original structure’s functions.

▼ One of the major shifts in our social structure over the last 50 years has been a switch in the relative well-being positions of young and old. This is reflected in their suicide rates where, in contrast to the gradual decline in the propensity of older populations to take their own lives, that of the young has risen dramatically. Not confined to New Zealand, this ‘generational switch’ raises important questions about the changing relative distribution of incentives and rewards for living across the age domain. The purpose of my thesis is to document this change and explore its implications. I do so by analysing the current distribution of subjective well-being across contemporary age groups including differences between men and women and Māori and non-Māori. Of particular interest is the link between suicide, subjective well-being and social capital – the levels of social connectedness that prevail in the lives of the young adults relative to their parents’ generation. As a geographer I’m particularly concerned with the role of local capital (community connectedness and trust) in nurturing well-being, and hence the variation that well-being exhibits across places within a country. While thoroughly investigated between nations, relatively few studies document geographical variations in subjective well-being within countries, particularly in terms of how these statistics differ by age. I find that not only does dissatisfaction with life (unhappiness and other measures of subjective well-being) rise as teenagers approach adulthood, but that it peaks in the 30s and declines slowly thereafter in a pattern reflective of the prevailing pattern of suicide. Moreover I find that, in addition to partnership, income, employment status and housing tenure, satisfaction with life among young adults in particular also varies across local communities, and cities. As such, the young exhibit a heightened sensitivity to place in ways that raise important questions about the nature of communities in which children are raised. It is this new information which I bring to a discussion of current initiatives dealing with mental health and the prevailing strategies advocated in New Zealand.

▼ Urbanisation results in unintended losses of ecological services and major impacts to biodiversity (Berke, 2008; Girardet, 2003). Biodiversity sensitive urban design (BSUD) is a protocol proposed to enhance biodiversity in urban environments through the application of five principles: habitat maintenance or reintroduction, facilitation of wildlife dispersal, minimisation of anthropogenic disturbance, facilitation of ecological processes, and positive human-nature interactions. This study assessed the practicality of BSUD as a guiding framework to improve prospects for a threatened amphibian in Kororoit, a proposed development in the outskirts of Melbourne, Australia. Kororoit is currently a grazing field with under 100 properties but the Metropolitan Planning Authority expects future development to allocate 9,000 dwellings (GAA, 2013) potentially affecting the persistence of threatened species residing in the area. Based on occupancy surveys from eleven breeding seasons ( derived from Heard et al. (2013)), I performed a linear regression with LASSO optimization to assess habitat and urban form features supporting growling grass frog persistence. Findings were projected into the Kororoit precinct to identify waterbodies with features indicating higher persistence probability. The conservation assessment was then used to guide and integrate Biodiversity Sensitive Urban Design and the sustainable neighbourhood guidelines of LEED-ND and UN-Habitat. Proposed scenarios represented an archetype of Eames et al. (2013) identified forms of sustainable development: Eco-resilient and Smart-Networked. Hypothetical development scenarios were limited to existing dwelling targets for the area and where then compared to current development plans for Kororoit (`As-planned'). Based on the amount of LEED-ND and UN-Habitat objectives that each scenario complied with, BSUD scenarios achieve higher sustainability standards than 'As-planned' scenario. Similarily, BSUD performance was lower in 'As-planned' scenario where a series of highly suitable wetlands are lost. However, if subjected to a market-demand regime, estimated benefits from higher densities (Smart-networked) could be lost if the area is further developed. This research project proved BSUD as a useful tool to inform the planning and design of new green field developments. It enables science informed decision making thus aiding threatened species conservation. Main barriers include the public acceptance of BSUD lifestyle and the efficient translation of conservation science into 'easy-to-use' tools applicable by planners and designers to guide their decisions.
