An exploratory research investigation into the creation of ‘privately owned publicly accessible spaces’ (POPS) in Toronto, Ontario and a critical review of the process used to secure these spaces and the subsequent agreements made. This paper seeks to answer if land use planners are able to better mediate the use of POPS as a means of providing open space to communities in high-density areas. This report includes the timeline illustrating the development of Toronto’s POPS program followed by a discussion on Toronto’s increase growth and development and the suitability of POPS as a contributing strategy for diminishing new park and open space assets and a high level breakdown of the legal mechanisms currently in place to help facilitate new POP spaces. Interviews with individuals from both the public and private sectors were conducted, which produced a generalized model outlining how POPS in Toronto are secured.

High Involvement Management

The connection between high-involvement management (HIM), entailing heavy employee involvement, and employee well-being is a controversial and widely discussed topic. Clarifying how job satisfaction and stress are connected to HIM and job control (the control employees have over their work), this study is based on data from two Finnish sources: an employer survey investigating the extent of HIM within an organisation, and employee assessments of job control, stress and job satisfaction. Logistic regression models were used as the study method. In contrast to previous Finnish studies, our findings show that HIM seems hardly to benefit employee well-being. Especially in the public sector, the correlation between extensive HIM and employee well-being turned out to be negative. However, HIM in the private sector was positively related to job satisfaction. As expected, a high level of job control was regularly associated with greater well-being.

The education sector in Bangladesh has been affected severely by the COVID-19 pandemic crisis like many other countries around the globe. Both the public and private universities faced different types of challenges to continue the teaching-learning process during this time. The chapter has explored these challenges and mitigation strategies based on quantitative and qualitative studies with undergraduate and graduate students of public and private universities. The study has covered both public and privately owned general and engineering universities to explore more specific issues and directives. Moreover, in-depth interviews were conducted with teachers to learn the problems they faced and subsequent strategies to cope with the challenges to minimize these challenges and educational loss. The study identified the infrastructural, technical, psychological, health, educational policy, and financial-related challenges faced by key stakeholders. The study incorporated directives to overcome these challenges and provide guidelines for policymakers at home and abroad.

The Creation

Citizenship is both a contentious and contested struggle about the creation of rights, duties, and opportunities. Feminist practices and debates can clarify the meaning of citizenship. This is because the form of feminist practices, characterized by an ongoing struggle, and the content of feminist debates, focusing on gender and other inequalities, recognition of different voices, and critiques of the public and private dichotomy, are particularly suited for dealing with the challenges of contentious and contested processes of citizenship. We argue more specifically that feminist debates and practices provide fruitful contributions for the citizenship challenges that the European Union must face.

Abstract Almost exactly 30 years ago, a famous article by Michael Jensen in the Harvard Business Review predicted that private equity would ‘eclipse’ the public corporation because it was a superior form of corporate ownership. Trends since 1989 seem to bear out Jensen’s prediction. Much time and energy has gone into studying whether the private equity model does see companies being run better for investors and society. Progress has been made and most studies find positive results. But samples are usually relatively small. And the relative complexity of private equity transactions, combined with a high level of privacy, makes it hard to find financial statements that are tractable enough for meaningful analysis. After 30 years of research, we argue that a conclusive answer to the question remains further away than might seem to be the case. In the meantime, the appropriate regulatory response involves narrowing the ‘regulatory gap’ between public and private markets.

Land use policy is at the center of suburban political economies because everything has to happen somewhere but nothing happens by itself. This book explores how well a century of strategic land-use decisions served the public interest in Montgomery County, Maryland, a suburb of Washington, D.C. Transformed from a rural hinterland into the home of a million people and a half-million jobs, Montgomery County built a national reputation for innovation in land use policy—including inclusive zoning, linking zoning to master plans, preservation of farmland and open space, growth management, and transit-oriented development. A pervasive theme of the book involves the struggle for influence over land use policy between two virtual suburban republics. Developers, their business allies, and sympathetic officials sought a virtuous cycle of market-guided growth in which land was a commodity and residents were customers who voted with their feet. Homeowners, environmentalists, and their allies saw themselves as citizens and stakeholders with moral claims on the way development occurred and made their wishes known at the ballot box. This book evaluates how well the development pattern produced by decades of planning decisions served the public interest.

This chapter appreciates the growing significance of heritage tourism, even in a place well-known as a fun-based modern destination. This study is based on an exploratory research which used qualitative research to study issues related to the promotion of heritage tourism in the United Arab Emirates. The purpose of this chapter was to identify challenges faced by the public and private tourism organizers for heritage tourism in the country. This original research employed the Delphi techniques and interviewed renowned heritage and cultural experts. Critical realism ontology was applied to analyze the qualitative data where themes emerged as the key challenges. Five themes emerged from the research that could be replicated to study heritage tourism challenges in other countries. A subsequent study to identify and assess solutions and strategies for these challenges is the suggested future study for this chapter.

Parking Facilities

The research described in this paper sought to address a perceived need for additional commercial vehicle parking space along U.S. Interstate highways by generating ( a) a nationwide description of truck parking spaces at public rest areas, ( b) detailed models of trucker demand for and utilization of public rest area parking spaces, and ( c) an evaluation of the ability of privately owned truck stops throughout the country to accommodate parking needs. Most commercial drivers, motor carriers, and even some privately owned truck stop operators acknowledged that there are parking shortages at some locations at certain times. The research projected a current shortfall of 28,400 truck parking spaces in public rest areas nationwide. It also projected that about one-third of privately owned truck stop operators plan to expand their parking facilities over the next 3 years, increasing total projected capacity at truck stops by about 28,000 spaces. Although some of the shortfall at public rest areas might be satisfied by private expansion efforts, variations in survey methodologies precluded any conclusive determination of substitutability. In addition, the truck drivers surveyed did not appear to substitute privately owned truck stops for public rest areas. The two appear to serve different functions and meet different needs. Although just over half of the sampled drivers expressed a preference for public rest areas for short-term needs, two-thirds indicated a preference for privately owned truck stops for overnight or long-term rest needs. The apparent shortfall of truck parking spaces nationwide is a problem requiring creative resolution by both the public and private sectors to ensure that commercial drivers needing a safe place to stop and rest can find one.

Land Use Control

Agricultural land is being converted into rural residences at an unprecedented rate in the Inter-mountain West. Survey data have been collected for Sublette County, Wyoming concerning preferences for private land use and land use controls. Selected land use controls include zoning, purchase of development rights and cluster development. Local in-migration appears to be driven by the pursuit of open space and environmental amenities. Logit models are estimated for public and private choice co-variates. Private concerns about land use are the chief determinants of land use control approval.
