The design of campus landscape is expected to reflect the institution values, provide the character and the spirit of place to campus environment. It is highly influenced by visual experience and impression of campus environment. There are two methods in landscape visual quality assessment: descriptive assessment method and evaluative assessment method. Both assessment methods cannot be done simultaneously, but as a sequence phase. Descriptive assessment method should be done first to obtain a reference for evaluative assessment method. Landscape visual quality evaluative assessment method is used to measure the level of public assessment about visual quality and visual response. Information Processing Theory is used to develop the visual quality evaluative assessment method and to obtain unified integration between descriptive assessment and evaluative assessment. The development of evaluative assessment method includes the process of comparing, averaging, or determine the ranking of each environmental hue or landscape areas in campus, based on the public or college user community preferences.

Sustainability Assessments

This article departs from the perspective of Swedish regional transport authorities and focuses on the public procurement of bus transports. Many of these public organizations on the county level have the ambition to contribute to a transition involving the continued marginalization of fossil fuels and improved sustainability performance. However, there are several renewable bus technologies to choose between and it can be difficult to know what alternative (or combination) is preferable. Prior research and the authors’ experiences indicate a need for improved knowledge and supportive methods on how sustainability assessments can support public procurement processes. The purpose of this article is to develop a multi-criteria assessment (MCA) method to support assessments of public bus technologies’ sustainability. The method, which was established in an iterative and participatory process, consists of four key areas and 12 indicators. The article introduces the problem context and reviews selected prior research of relevance dealing with green or sustainable public procurement and sustainability assessments. Further on, the process and MCA method are presented and discussed based on advice for effective and efficient sustainability assessments. In the companion article (Part II), the MCA method is applied to assess several bus technologies involving biodiesel, biomethane, diesel, electricity, ethanol and natural gas.

The purpose of this paper is twofold: ( a) to present a nontraditional, performance outcome–based public–private partnership (PPP) approach to finance and fund freeway reconstruction that relies not just on generating new revenue but also on optimizing scope and costs to achieve financial viability and ( b) to demonstrate how the approach can be evaluated for a specific project with an innovative value for money (VfM) assessment method that considers financial parameters, risk elements, and social benefits. The paper assesses the potential effects of the approach for a hypothetical project on ( a) the public agency’s financial position and ( b) public welfare. For this assessment, the effects of the project itself are assessed first by comparing conventional delivery of the project with “no build,” assuming that the project can be conventionally delivered in the same time frame as the PPP. Next, the effects of project acceleration are assessed by analyzing the effects of delaying conventional project delivery because of the public agency’s fiscal constraints. Finally, the PPP approach is compared with conventional delivery using public financing. The evaluation approach demonstrates how current VfM analysis practice may be enhanced by ( a) including a quantitative assessment of public welfare benefits and ( b) considering “no build” operations and maintenance cost savings to assess the net effect on the financial position of the agency.

<p class="JGI-AbstractIsi">This study is conducted to see the potential demand with the characteristics of the campus environment, industrial environment, and tourism environment on internet fixed broadband use, where the objective of this survey is limited to households, individuals and businesses. Analysis is carried out in a descriptive manner based on the results of qualitative discussions by experts which is reinforced by the findings of the survey results. The survey results show that the internet utilization by the public (households, businesses) is mostly for communication and entertainment, so that the cellular internet is considered adequate for public's internet need. This is relevant to the public’s opinion that 87.9% of the internet needs are met when using cellular phone. There are 3 (three) perceptible reasons of why respondents choose not to subscribe to Fixed broadband internet, namely: 1) There is no necessity for subscription, 2) Lack of Knowledge/Information related to Broadband Fixed internet, and 3) Expensive Prices. The potential demand for each characteristic is always there, however, the most dominant one comes from the businesses, such as cafes/eateries, food stores, gift shops, photocopying businesses, vehicle rental services, travel businesses, etc.<strong></strong></p>

Visual Impact Assessment

Visual impact assessment studies are reasonably substantial to understand an environment which has different features. The aim of this study is to evaluate the visual impact of the Istanbul Land-wall and contribute to future design/planning stages. For this purpose, the study area was separated into four different spatial usages which are recreational, transportation, agricultural and neglected places. Twenty-four different photographs were taken and a survey was conducted upon an expert and a public sample group. The public survey included four parameters: well-kept, exciting, safety and beautiful scenery. The expert survey also involved four parameters which were coherence, imageability, stewardship and historicity. One-way ANOVA test was conducted to reveal sample groups’ effect on the preferences. The results showed that the average scores of photographs evaluated by public and experts were 11.07 and 9.80 scores respectively. In the public survey, the photograph, has the lowest scores for all parameters, was Photo-11 (P11). Experts’ result shows particularly that historicity is lower than the others although the area is a historical region. Specifically, neglected places obtained lower scores than the other spatial types. Consequently, the Istanbul Land-wall does not have adequate visual quality regarding the selected parameters.

Drawing on information processing theory, I revisit prior assumptions that not being understood raises challenges for employees, examining how political ideologies powerfully affect how employees who serve the public react to a perceived lack of understanding of the difficulties of their jobs. Using independent expert ratings of 794 body camera videos of 164 police officers across two agencies, I show that a lack of perceived public understanding decreases task performance for liberal-leaning officers but not for conservative-leaning officers. Because liberal-leaning officers seek to form more communal relationships with the public, a perceived lack of public understanding violates their sense of social order, but it merely reaffirms conservative-leaning officers’ beliefs in maintaining an authoritarian distance given the responsibilities and duties they shoulder. I replicate these results using supervisors’ ratings of 82 officers across four agencies and then demonstrate in a time-lagged survey of 184 officers in a single agency that those with stronger conservative beliefs are more likely to believe the public fails to appreciate the difficulties of their jobs. These studies highlight the importance of accounting for people’s beliefs in whether image conflicts should and do arise—and provide insights into the self-reinforcing forces that sustain divides between employees and those they serve.

Public Concerns

Herman Goldstein’s concept of ‘problem-oriented policing’ (POP) emphasized data gathering, analytics, and pattern identification to allow police to more effectively address problems faced by citizens in their communities. One of the most pressing problems in modern policing, however, is how departments should respond to accusations that police are not fair and consistent in their dealings with the public. In this article, the research team examined 1 year of officer body-worn camera footage, to create a roadmap of how the scanning, analysis, response, and assessment method of POP can be utilized to address public concerns by assessing and addressing how police interact with the public.
