New urbanism has played an increasingly influential role in Canadian planning and development. Its recent popularity has demonstrated a propensity towards compact, mixed-use, diverse, pedestrian-oriented, and walkable communities, which provide a high standard of architectural design and a focus on the public realm. The Village presents a case study of a growing historic and rural small town which has turned to new urbanism to guide its new development. The traditional design features have proven ideal for a mixed commercial-residential neighbourhood which carefully selected strategies of implementation to protect its local heritage and character in a modern development. This research presents a discussion of the new urbanism, analyzes a typology put forth by Dan Trudeau that helps inform many choice features of The Village as characteristic of Hybrid Urbanism, and explores the extent to which the principles of the movement have been carried out successfully in this case study community. Key words: new urbanism; mixed-use development; Niagara-on-the-Lake; traditional neighbourhood development.

This research paper focuses on the phenomenon of mixed use neighbourhoods, specifically in the case of the King-Spadina neighbourhood located in the City of Toronto. This paper will examine the benefits of mixed use neighbourhoods and the issues that arise when two or more incompatible land uses are located within a given geographical area. The focus of this paper is on the case study area of the King-Spadina neighbourhood which is home to the [sic] Canada’s largest Entertainment District, an area which previously served as one of Toronto’s industrial cores. Since the elimination of traditional land use restrictions in the area the King-Spadina neighbourhood has seen an influx of redevelopment in both residential and commercial. This paper seeks to address the current conflicts associated with having a concentration of entertainment facilities located within a community with a residential population. Through a rigorous research process, this paper aims to address how enhancing the public realm can create a more enjoyable mixed use neighbourhood.

Program nasional pemberdayaan masyarakat mandiri kelautan dan perikanan pada sektor perikanan diwujudkan dalam bentuk pengembangan usaha mina pedesaan. Program penanggulangan kemiskinan melalui pemberdayaan masyarakat kelautan dan perikanan seringkali tidak tepat sasaran dan tidak memperhitungkan keberlanjutan program sehingga kemiskinan tidak berkurang bahkan semakin bertambah. Pengembangan Usaha Mina Perdesaan (PUMP) merupakan salah satu program Kementerian Kelautan dan Perikanan (KKP) ditujukan untuk menanggulangi kasus kemiskinan pada kelompok masyarakat tertentu. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menganalisis pelaksanaan Pengembangan Usaha Mina Perdesaan (PUMP) pada kelompok masyarakat pengolah dan pemasar hasil perikanan di Kota Banda Aceh, mengetahui respon masyarakat terhadap Pengembangan Usaha Mina Perdesaan Pengolahan dan Pemasaran Hasil Perikanan (PUMP P2HP), dan mengidentifikasi faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi pelaksanaan program tersebut. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dan pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui wawancara, observasi dan desk study. Pengambilan sampel ditentukan secara purposive dengan responden anggota kelompok pengolah dan pemasar hasil perikanan (POKLAHSAR) penerima program. Metode analisis data dilakukan secara deskriptif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pelaksanaan PUMP P2HP di setiap tahapannya secara normatif memang telah terlaksana dan terdapat kesesuaian antara ketentuan pedoman program dengan pelaksanaannya di masyarakat. Namun demikian, dalam hal pelaksanaannya sebagai sebuah program pemberdayaan, secara substansi masih jauh dari tujuan yang diharapkan. Hal ini didukung dengan analisis mengenai respon masyarakat terhadap pelaksanaan program, baik itu mengenai keberlanjutan program, keterlibatan dalam program, manfaat program, dan konflik selama pelaksanaan program. Faktor-faktor dominan yang dapat menghambat pelaksanaan program ini secara keseluruhan perlu dilakukan perubahan dan perbaikan. Faktor yang menjadi penghambat dan penunjang keberhasilan program yaitu kesesuaian lokasi, pemberian peralatan yang menunjang produksi, dan ketepatan calon penerima bantuan. Rekomendasi kebijakan untuk perbaikan pelaksanaan program bantuan langsung tunai (BLT) di masa depan yaitu (1) Penyederhanaan dalam prosedural kegiatan program, (2) Ketepatan pemilihan calon penerima, (3) Pelatihan dan pendampingan kepada para calon penerima maupun penerima bantuan, dan (4) Evaluasi terhadap program bantuan untuk pengembangan usaha dan kemandirian penerima bantuan secara berkelanjutan. (Implementation of The National Program for Marine and Fisheries Community Empowerment in The Fisheries Processing Business : A Case Study in Banda Aceh City)Fish business development in the village level is considered as the natural program for marine and fisheries community empowerment. Poverty reduction programs through marine and fisheries community empowerment are does not effective and take into account the sustainability of the program so that poverty can not be reduced even increasing. National program of marine and fisheries in the fish processing business are considered one of the MMAF program intended to eliminate poverty in a certain society. The aims of this study was to analyze implementation of PUMP P2HP, particularly in Banda Aceh City, identify the public response to the PUMP P2HP, and identify factors that affect the implementation of the program. This research used a qualitative approach and data collection through interview, observation and desk study. Sample was determined using purposive sampling with respondents “kelompok pengolah dan pemasar” (POKLAHSAR) members participating in the program. The method of data analysis was carried out descriptively. Results show that the implementation of PUMP P2HP in each stage have indeed been implemented as in the guidelines on the implementation of programs in the community. However, in terms of its implementation as a policy of empowerment, it is still far from the expected goals. This is supported by an analysis of the public response to the implementation of the program, in relation to the sustainability of program, the participation in program, the benefits of program, and conflict occurred during implementation of the program. The dominant factors that can support and prevent the implementation of the program as a whole, that the implementation procedures should be be changed and improved. Inhibitory and supporting factor for success of the program were namely the suitability of the location, provision of equipment to support the production, and the accuracy of the prospective beneficiaries. Policy recommendations to improve implementation of the programs of direct cash assistance (BLT) in the future were identified as follows: (1) simplification of the program process, (2) accuracy in selecting candidates (3) training and assistance to the recipients and beneficiaries, and (4) evaluation of the programs for business development and self-reliance of beneficiaries sustainable manner.

INTRODUCTION This paper is a case study of the progress on environmental and development fronts in this critical area of Cambridge, Massachusetts. Portions of the riverine system to the north (Little River and Alewife Reservation) have been restored and include public amenities, and the park to the east (Danehy Park) has been realized. The degraded industrial land uses that had comprised the bulk of the land use have made a transition to a dynamic, mixed-used neighborhood. This paper presents both the public and the private strategies undertaken to accomplish these goals. These strategies are presented in three parts: Public Infrastructure: Constructed Stormwater Wetlands and Larger Stormwater Management Goals Site Development: Environmental Strategies Urban Development Goals: Mixed-Use Neighborhood

This article describes the computational and data-related challenges of the “Connected Histories of the BBC” project, an interdisciplinary project aiming to bring into the public realm some of the hidden treasures of the BBC's own Oral History Archive through the creation of an openly accessible, fully searchable and interconnected digital catalogue of this archive. This project stands as an interesting case study on the tensions between “computational” and “archival”, by critically designing and employing computational approaches for an historical, complex Oral History collection of scattered analogue records of various forms with an archival pre-history. From data acquisition, modeling, structuring and enhancement, metadata, data analysis procedures, to web design and legal issues, this paper discusses the various computational challenges, processes and decisions made during this project, while showcasing the principles of (re)usability, accessibility, and collaboration throughout its course.
