Residential environment index system and evaluation model established by subjective and objective methods

In this research, the residential environment index system and evaluation model were established by means of subjective and objective methods. The methodology for establishing the evaluation system for residential environment was first analyzed; then the subjective evaluation data-base was established by questionnaire survey; and at the same time, the objective evaluation data-base was constructed by Geographic Information System (GIS); and then the related equation system between subjective and objective system was developed by multiple regression analysis. This research could benefit evaluation of the residential environment quality for various purposes, and also provide important rudimentary data-base for the development and improvement of residential environment for officials. Furthermore, the index system and evaluation model established in this research could construct a strong relation between subjective evaluation and objective data; and thus could provide a comprehensive, efficient and effective methodology for the evaluation of residential environment.

Computer support system for residential environment evaluation for citizen participation

INTRODUCTION Citizen participation in urban planning is crucial for satisfying the increasing demand to improve the overall city planning process (Sherry, 1969). The information exchange, opinion feedback, establish-ment of expert system and the development of effi-cient and effective participation methods has brought huge benefits and high potential for the improvement of the whole city planning (Arima, 2001). The public participation system to evaluate the planning system for the speci…     

物业管理企业在新建住宅物业项目接管时的权益保护

物业管理企业作为新兴的行业企业，在国家法律规章制度还不完善的情况下，其企业本身的权益也理应受到保护。物业管理以服务为宗旨，为社会提供必不可少的服务产品。在所生产“产品”的特殊性、服务时间和空间上的无限性、涉及社会关系的复杂性等方面是许多企业都不能比的。行业测评表明，物业管理中出现的许多问题，不属于物业企业所为，在介入新建物业项目时，分清责任、把握权力范围，对于争取管理时的各项权益是非常必要的。     

南京市地价空间结构的演变

城市地价是一个具有时空性质的多维概念,随着土地市场的日渐发育,地价成为土地市场运作的重要信息和价值判断标准,而城市基准地价的更新速度慢,不能及时、准确地反映城市的地价水平和地价动态分布规律。与此同时,城市地价动态监测点的地价信息能够分年度及时、准确的更新。因此,利用地价动态监测样点的地价信息,快速、及时的分析地价的空间结构特征、时空演变趋势成为当今土地管理中值得深入探讨的课题。本文以南京市主城区为研究区域,以住宅地价为研究对象,依托南京市地价动态监测和土地市场交易数据,在探索性空间数据分析（ESDA）和地统计学方法的支持下,建立了2001年-2004年南京市主城区住宅用地数字地价模型,从宏观层面上,研究了整个区域的住宅地价空间演化趋势,从中观层面上,选取典型地价剖面研究了住宅地价的时间演化趋势,以期及时、准确的掌握城市的地价水平和地价动态分布规律,为政府调节土地市场起到一定的借鉴作用。     

An analysis of associations between residential and school mobility and educational outcomes in South African urban children: The Birth to Twenty cohort

Using data from Birth to Twenty, a cohort of South African urban children, the current paper investigates the relationships between residential and school mobility and a set of educational outcomes. The findings provide some evidence of a positive association between changes in residence and numeracy and literacy scores, and school mobility was found to be associated with grade repetition, however, no relationship was observed between changes in school and competency in numeracy and literacy. The South African study provides a counter example to trends observed in higher-income countries, while highlighting that associations are likely to be context specific.     

冯批失范疑窦频——冯其庸先生《瓜饭楼重校评批〈红楼梦〉》谬误辩难

资深红学家冯其庸先生花数十年心血编纂一部长达160万字的巨著《瓜饭楼重校评批〈红楼梦〉》,且被吹嘘为“发前人所未发,为当代红学的最新成果”,“是一部可读性、欣赏性极强,且有极高收藏价值的关于《红楼梦》的传世佳本。”研读后始知此乃虚浮夸饰之词。仅从上卷前40回的评批中就凸现出包括常识性、知识性、思想性、学术性等方面的失范现象达14处之多。为减轻对广大读者和后学的贻误和不良影响,特逐条加以辩难匡正。     

The institutional shaping of children’s educational experiences in secure custody: A case study of a secure children’s home in England

Secure Children’s Homes accommodate some of the most vulnerable children in society and yet they have evaded sustained academic attention. Consequently, little is known about children’s education in this type of setting. Through the lens of institutional ethnography, this paper explores how experiences of education inside one Secure Children’s Home in England are shaped by the institution. This approach makes visible that while the small-scale of the setting is of value, the mix of children accommodated for qualitatively different reasons is problematic for both the delivery of education and the children’s engagement in learning.     

An exploration of the lived experiences of Year Six children on a residential trip to Normandy

Over the last decade, a plethora of research has been undertaken into learning outside the classroom and its resultant benefits on pupils [Dillon, J., M. Rickinson, K. Teamey, M. Morris, M. Y. Choi, D. Sanders, and P. Benefield. 2006. “The Value of Outdoor Learning: Evidence from Research in the UK and Elsewhere.” School Science Review 87 (320): 107–111; Peacock, A. 2006. Changing Minds: The Lasting Impact of School Trips. University of Exeter; Malone, K. 2008. Every Experience Matters. Farming and Countryside Education; Waite, S. 2011. Children Learning Outside the Classroom from Birth to Eleven. London: Sage; Beames, S., P. Higgins, and R. Nicol. 2012. Learning Outside the Classroom: Theory Guidelines and Practice. Abingdon: Routledge). Despite this wealth of research very little has been conducted into residential field trips. The research carried out in this study focuses specifically on exploring the residential experience of a group of 10- and 11-year-old children from a junior school in the UK who participated in a one-week residential field trip to Normandy, France, staying in a Chateau and undertaking both cultural and historical activities. The findings reveal what children can gain from participating in such an experience.     

Identifying effective interventions for promoting parent engagement and family reunification for children in out-of-home care: A series of meta-analyses

BackgroundAn important obstacle for family reunification following child placement in residential care and other temporary out-of-home care services is the lack of engagement among parents.ObjectiveThe aim of this meta-analysis is to identify the most effective interventions to promote parental engagement and family reunification.Method and participantsEight studies, for a total of 2996 families, were used to conduct two series of meta-analyses. Each study examined the effectiveness of a goal-oriented parental engagement intervention, relative to a control group made up of parents who received standard services. Six moderators were analyzed: type of clinical modality, number of clinical strategies, sources of motivation for intervention, focus on the child care staff-parent relationship, child care staff training, and strategies to promote access to intervention.ResultsResults indicate that parents exposed to goal-oriented engagement interventions showed greater engagement (effect size d = 0.71, CI: 0.35–1.07, p < 0.001) and likelihood of reunification (effect size OR = 2.49, CI: 1.22–5.10, p < 0.05) than parents who received standard services. In particular, moderator analysis showed that parents who specifically participated in a family-focused intervention showed the highest engagement in comparison to parents involved in other types of interventions or who received standard services (effect size d = 1.08, CI: 0.58–1.59, p < 0.001). No moderators significantly explained heterogeneity of studies on family reunification.ConclusionOverall, the results underline the effectiveness of family-focused interventions to promote parental engagement. Nevertheless, greater knowledge on the mechanisms by which interventions can increase parents’ engagement and family reunification is still needed.
