Leilighetskompleks i små lokalsamfunn- virkninger i eiendomsmarkedet : en analyse basert på data fra Egersund

2009

Masteroppgave i økonomi og administrasjon - Universitetet i Agder 2009 Hensikten med oppgaven er å undersøke boligmarkedet i Egersund, og virkningene av bygging av større leilighetskomplekser. Bygging av leiligheter har økt de siste årene, og utgjør i dag 21,9 % av det totale boligmarkedet. Spesielt i større byer har det vært mye bygging av leiligheter. Denne trenden finnes nå også i mindre byer. På bakgrunn av teori har jeg utledet en prisfunksjon. Denne gir prisen som en funksjon av de ulike egenskapene til boligene. Funksjonen dannes på bakgrunn av etterspørrernes etterspørselsfunksjoner og tilbydernes tilbudsfunksjoner. En prisfunksjon kan anta ulike former. Jeg har valgt å se nærmere p…

Predicting women purchase intention for green food products in Indonesia

2009

Masteroppgave i økonomi og administrasjon - Universitetet i Agder 2009 This study investigated the applicability of the Theory of Planned Behavior in predicting women consumers on their intention towards purchasing green food products among 406 participants. Using linear regression, five independent variables had been examined: attitude towards green food products, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control, and perceived difficulty in predicting purchase intention. The results reveal further evidence of consistency between Attitude, Subjective Norm, Perceived Behavioral Control and Perceived Difficulty as presented in Theory of Planned Behavior. Despite the supporting evidence for the …

For a “Living (Lab)” Approach to Smart Cities

2016

Thanks to the diffusion of information and communication technologies, and despite the huge margins of improvement of the operating conditions of the Web, sharing an idea can be today the starting point for the birth of either a start-up or a community of interests, able to achieve a variety of goals without the intervention of any public institution. In relation to such a ferment of successful micro-level initiatives, Territorial Living Labs are here interpreted as place-based ecosystems of co-creation of goods, services as well as new organizational and social models of smart urban life. From this interpretation, the necessity strongly emerges of a coherent and viable reference framework …

An Italian Urban “Fashion” The Urban 1 Programme as a Catalyst for Institutional Planning Shift

2014

Since the 1990s Italy has been going through changes and experiments concerning modes and tools of urban government. New methods, based on public­private partnership, on a consensual basis, were progressively adopted, overcoming the traditional authoritative mechanisms and role of public actors. The contribution of Community policies such as initiatives on urban areas, has been crucial in creating new tools, influencing the existing ones and activating new approaches to planning. This paper builds some theoretical considerations on the contributions the implementation of European Programmes has given to the changes in the conception of urban interventions and thedebated shift in urban polic…

The Production of the Landscape of Exception in High Conflict Zone

2013

A wide range of literature shows the persistence of high conflicts and power inequalities in the urban dimension. Consequently, there is a wide exploration of discrimination and subjugation of minority groups in urban areas; on the other hand, there are many progressive and radical urban movements (and scholars) around the world working (and researching) for better and more equal living conditions in the cities. The paper shifts this focus to landscape, analyzing landscape transformation in the West Bank as a result of power inequalities, discrimination, conflicts and colonization. The ongoing transformation of landscape in high conflict zones stretches the meaning of landscape from a natur…

Cities in a relational world: limits and future perspective for planning through the network paradigm

2009

This paper aims to discuss the formation and reproduction of social and institutional networks via planning practices and to critically explore the limits and opportunities for the future. It will describe how the process of spatial reconfiguration provided by the ‘network society’ views several interconnected territorial dimensions: major cities acting as global players in the international market place and their relationships with their regional surroundings; the relationships among enterprises and institutions within local production systems; and the strategic cooperation between urban players from the perspective of the city as a ‘collective actor’. The final section of the paper will p…

Neither Cordelia nor Polonius: Ethical Implications for Planning in the Face of Blatant and Hidden Imbalances of Power, Status and Rights

2017

Given the significance of planning public argumentation, that is ‘reasoning in public’, in ways in which it is possible to recognize the diversity of perspectives and the complexity of many issues faced, this paper faces the question of how to deal with this issue in political and social contexts where the notion of (substantial) democracy faces several obstacles in its way. Due to our context-based research work field (and place where we live), we experienced significant difficulties in applying normative principles which are nurtured by promises on behalf of deliberative democracy. Consequently the paper raises the following questions: 1. how to practice this normative ideal in those cont…

Norma de reconocimiento, convención y obligación. Aquello que Shapiro todavía puede aprender de los errores de Hart

2021

Shapiro works out a version of legal positivism taking as its starting point Hart’s practice theory of law. Some serious limits of Hart’s practice theory of norms concern the conception of legal obligation and normativity of law. In this paper I analyze the limits of Hart’s conception of legal normativity and I appraise whether the planning theory of law indicates the correct direction for overcoming them. To anticipate the conclusion, my effort is to show that Shapiro replicates Hart’s mistakes on this subject-matters. The paper is divided in three main sections. First, I will present briefly a critical reconstruction of Hart’s conception of normativity, reconstruction which is partially d…

Law, Plans and Practical Rartionality

2012

There is, according to many contemporary jurisprudential theories, a tight relationship between law and practical rationality: the law gives us, or at least it purports to give us, reasons for action. In his book, Legality (2011), Scott J. Shapiro puts forward what at first glance appears to be a new view in this vein. Shapiro calls it the “Planning Theory” of law; it provides an account of what the law is in terms of a particular kind of reasons: plans (a notion moulded, in his work in the philosophy of action, by Michael E. Bratman). In this paper, I provide a reconstruction of the Planning Theory as a view of the relationships between law and practical rationality, and I point to some fu…
