This document summarizes research carried out applying a collaborative planning model in Zifta City, Egypt. The researcher took a dual role of practitioner and action researcher. They designed a learning-oriented planning process to balance power relations and incorporate local social values and knowledge. Through stakeholder engagement and knowledge sharing between locals and experts, a vision and strategic plan for Zifta's development was formulated that reflected the city's history, culture and priorities. The process demonstrated how an external planning model must be adapted to the local context through understanding the society and jointly developing knowledge to benefit communities.

Study of Extreme Weather Events (hot & cold day or wave) over Bihar RegionEditor IJLRES
In this paper an attempt has been made to study the heat wave /cold wave and hot /cold days for Bihar region during 46 years of data (1969-2014). The representative months have been taken from December to February and March to June for cold wave/ cold days and hot wave /hot days respectively. The results obtained from decade analysis shows that the frequency of the hot wave /hot days increased during the last decade (2005 to 2014) almost for all the stations of Bihar region. In the similar manner the frequency of the cold wave /cold days also increases during last two decades (1995 to 2004 and 2005 to 2014) over the region. The gaps in the data of part time observatories have not been taken into account in the final decision.

Case Law Analysis - Intellectual Property
In this unit, you will select a case law pertaining to the topic of intellectual property.
Each case law analysis allows you to express yourself as clearly and fully as possible in dissecting a court decision. The purpose of the assignment is two-fold:
1. To give you the opportunity to read a real court decision.
2. To challenge you to think about how you would have decided the case. In your case law analyses, you must be able to navigate the court's decision and summarize it; you are not expected to act as a judge or an advocate.
Using your selected court decision, prepare an analysis that responds to the following:
1. Articulates the importance, context, purpose, and relevance of law in a business environment:
. Identify the parties who are before the court.
. Provide a brief background to the problem. Summarize the facts in no more than 2–3 paragraphs.
. Identify what is the specific disagreement between the parties.
. Explain the ruling of the court in no more than 1–2 paragraphs.
· Evaluates key judicial concepts that influence the decisions related to business:
. Was there a dissenting opinion? If so, explain why some of the judges or justices disagreed with the majority in the decision.
. Do you agree with the court's decision? Why or why not?
You may choose any court case, either state or federal, as the basis for your case law analysis; however, the case should be applicable to the assignment topic. The recommended Web sites for researching and locating a case are listed in the Resources area.
Your analysis should be no more than two pages, double-spaced. References and citations are to adhere to APA formatting and style guidelines. Prior to submitting your assignment, be sure to review the scoring guide to ensure you have met all of the grading criteria.
RESEARCH PROPOSAL
Community Driven Urban Design: Social Practice Tactics for
Addressing Issues of the Built Environment
ABSTRACT:
Several professionals in the field of architecture and urban design employ creative tactics focused on social impact, civic
dialogue, and grass roots placemaking. Drawing on socially responsible urban design theory, as well as principles of arts-
based civic engagement and social change, these efforts have gained momentum in the 21st century due to a variety of
economic, governmental, social and technological factors. This research capstone will include an extensive literature
review through two courses – PPPM 523 Urban Revitalization and an independent reading course on “bottom-up”
urban design with Professor Philip Speranza – as well as web-based document analysis of select case studies. The
purpose of this study is to locate these tactics within current urban redevelopment policy and arts-based community
development theory, and outline elements of best practice as a means of advancing the field of community driven urban
design.

P5-Poster 1: Critical Alternative Approach to/within Post-disaster Re-Develop...Wouter Pocornie
The project consists out of a research part: ‘Critical Alternative Approach to/within Post-disaster Re-Development’ and a design part: ‘Spatial Strategy to Enable Cultural Resilience in Villa Rosa, Port-Au-Prince (Haiti)’.
The research outcome presents a critical alternative approach in strategy within (post-disaster re-)development. It describes the relevance of urbanism and urban planning in the practice of development. The approach links educational development projects to overall improvement of infrastructure by structuring resilient and sustainable interventions as principal objectives.
The design is a spatial strategy. The design outcome present the materialization of the research findings as well as a critical approach to resilient and sustainable urban planning which reflects the need for urban strategies concerning the contemporary, global issue of rapid urbanization: slumming.
Rebuild by Design has established a small global working group on the design and politics of resiliency. This group is looking at—and assisting in shaping—how cities and regions around the world incorporate design into resiliency approaches, initiatives, and policy. Its first collective task is a collection of essays addressing two questions: First, identifying how design thinking is being incorporated and translated into political processes and understanding the obstacles that prevent design insights from informing policy practices. Second, collecting ideas for improving these processes, so that design and politics might be better integrated.
This initial group will form the core of a larger network that we aim to build over the long run. Meanwhile, are engaging directly with existing programs and initiatives. We will not duplicate efforts, but instead use this global working group to ignite broader discussions and further collaborations.

2. This work grew largely from practice-oriented
research carried out in an Egyptian context.
It investigates the complex process of
transferring the collaborative planning model
to the Egyptian context, focusing on Zifta City
as a case study
3. The appreciation of the history and the
cultural values that characterise a new
context, and the relevance of jointly
developing knowledge that is of benefit to
humankind, must be acknowledged.
What is ‘context’?
◦ the institutional structure of a society and the
associated cultural values inherited from the history
of that society and still guiding the function of its
daily routine.
4. Planning has lent legitimacy to the
development of society through the
application of different theories and practices
With its embodied concepts and values,
planning influences the direction of change
that a society may achieve
consideration of the context specificity is
particularity essential
5. Adopts a proactive approach, examining the
practical and theoretical potential imbued in a
new context
An exogenous planning model has to be re-
contextualized and landed in a new context
through its assimilation with that context’s
history and cultural values
6. Dual role
◦ practitioner and
action
researcher
Plurality of
Theory
Mixing
Methodologies
7. Define ‘knowledge’ as a concept and investigate
the epistemological questions surrounding
knowledge in general
◦ the way in which knowledge is acquired “possibility,
limits, origin, structure, methods and validity or truth of
knowledge”
The role of ‘cultural awareness’ of the new place
◦ Knowing through dialogue
◦ Knowing from experiences
◦ Learning from local knowledge
◦ Learning to read symbolic and non-verbal evidence
◦ Learning through contemplative or appreciative
knowledge
◦ Learning-by-doing, or action planning
8. HEALEY’S COLLABORATIVE PLANNING MODEL
◦ Prerequisite Conditions of Collaborative Planning
Core Concepts of the Collaborative Planning Model
◦ Stakeholders, rights and duties

Learning-by-doing generate local knowledge
Appreciative inquiry
◦ Rules of communication – Habermasian ideas
◦ Consensus building
◦ The role of religion – A recent reflection from Habermas
◦ Understanding the social system - Giddens’ theory
◦ Building capacity for institutional change
◦ The role of planner
9. Examine the planning thinking in the new
context (historical overview)

11. Analytical Framework for the Practice of Collaborative
Planning in Zifta
◦ As a researcher, I engaged in working with this analytical
framework during the empirical case (which formed an
essential part of my thesis).
◦ This engagement benefitted from my second role – being a
practitioner and leading the Zifta Demonstration Project,
designing the planning process, making good spaces to
involve stakeholders, managing meetings, solving problems,
and producing a strategic plan for Zifta.
◦ My dual roles – researcher and practitioner – overlapped and
fed into each other through their reciprocal relationship,

13. The formal interactions practiced by the
city and popular councils (characterised
by inefficiency, non-implementable
rules, reductions in welfare services
provisions, limited resources and
corruption); and,
The informal interactions practised by
locally based organisations
(characterised by collective economic
activities such as the Friday Market,
different charitable forms, family-based
economic activities, and
interdependence that provides mutual
support among the actors of the
informal sectors). The functioning
mechanism of the informal is guided by
the society’s cultural values, which
determine the rules and the ways of
distributing resources in charitable
forms or basic welfare services as
practised by the citizens.
14. Social Values Associated with Zifta’s
Institutional Structure
◦ The reciprocal and mutual role of the individual, the
family and the society; and,
◦ The social terms associated with communication
patterns, and their role in establishing and
fostering dialogue between the members of the
society.
