Analysis of Attitudes to Student Housing

Chapter ONE Introduction: 1.1BACKGROUND TO THE STUDY Student lodging is an indispensable constituent of the substructure of any university campus. They are even more of import in a private university. It is of import that pupil lodging installations should let pupils to transport out their academic activities freely while promoting societal interaction. Completed residential edifices should non merely be fit for the intent of the users, but besides be able to execute their maps in such ways as to guarantee comparative occupants ’satisfaction ( Liu, 1999 ) . Research has shown that designers and edifice users’ differ in their criterions or thoughts about the manner edifices should look or run. The designer is normally concerned with aesthetics, economic system, structural stableness, functionality, fulfilling the client ; while the user is chiefly concerned with how best the edifice accommodates his activities. It is necessary for betterment of the design procedure particularly in structured establishments with the possible to transport out similar design and building undertakings that an rating of the public presentation of their existing installations is carried out. The consequence of certain physical and psychological facets of a edifice on the users’ productiveness can non be understated. It is necessary that an appraisal of pupil inn installations and their functionality be carried out. This formal rating of the built environment is called â€Å"Post Occupancy Evaluation ( POE ) † and it is the rating of a edifice with accent placed on its functional characteristics instead than the aesthetics, proficient and economical characteristics entirely. Post Occupancy Evaluation aims to enable clients, determination shapers, and operators of assorted installations to supply better environments for clients, residents, and users ( Cubukcu and Isitan, 2011 ) . Student perceptual experiences can be assessed in footings of both proficient ( i.e. , acoustic and ocular comfort ) and functional ( i.e. , room coatings and room layout ) demands. However, proficient and functional edifice public presentations are considered as two different facets that can be used to explicate student residential satisfaction ( Hassanain, 2008 cited in Akinluyi, 2013 ) . Similar surveies ( Foubert et Al, 1998, Amole, 2009a & A ; Khozaei et al. , 2010 ) in utilizing a different attack have factored in direction of the installations, this includes elements such as inn regulations and fees and the attitudes of inn employees. Several factors can be used to measure overall satisfaction with pupil lodging, including physical variables such as installations and excess services ( Hassanain, 2008 ) . Social variables such as pupil relationships, herding and privateness may besides be considered as factors used to measure user satisfaction. This systematic method evaluates the success and failures of completed design undertakings. Such information could be utilized:To better the completed and future design undertakings by better informing the interior decorators of the users’ demands and better bing edifice public presentation by modifying care and direction patterns.To make an indifferent memory for specific types of design undertakings ( such as infirmary and airdrome design or design of a university campus ) .To develop design guidelines for future design undertakings.1.2STATEMENT OF PROBLEM Many edifices do non execute as planned, some end up functioning an wholly different intent from that for which ground they were constructed. In some instances this can impact on running costs and care, user and client satisfaction and public presentation, wellness, safety and comfort. Harmonizing to Akinluyi ( 2013 ) , for repetition building clients such as universities, larning from, and rectifying past errors in design and commissioning of edifices can be highly cost-efficient and better the public presentation of the establishment in general, its installations in peculiar and greatly better all-around productiveness of the pupils. Housing installations, as before stated, is particularly of import in universities and it is of import that these installations meet the demands of the user for maximal user satisfaction. Harmonizing to Awolesi ( 2008 ) , designs are being constrained by utmost boundaries of cost and economic system, aesthetic considerations, the infinite demands of the clients, or as prevalent in establishments, the demand to do the edifice reflect the bing architectural manner of its immediate environment or typology and this consequences in constructions that sometimes compromise criterions and most times do non see the demands of the proposed users. While there is a demand for considerations of economic system, aesthetics and the of import demands of the client, the users’ demands do non hold to be sacrificed wholly. Residents’ satisfaction is one of the major determiners of edifice public presentation, quality and the success of the design undertaking. This survey seeks to analyze the degree of satisfaction of pupils with the lodging installations provided by the school. In peculiar, it investigates the first male and female inns built by the Physical Planning and Development Department of the Covenant University and the degree of satisfaction of pupils with the infinites provided within the halls. 1.3RESEARCH QUESTIONSHow functional are the infinites provided within the halls?How do pupils react to the infinites in footings of satisfaction?Does gender impact the degree of user satisfaction of pupils?1.4AIM AND OBJECTIVES The purpose of this survey is to measure the station tenancy use of two of the pupil inn installations in Covenant University as it relates to the degree of satisfaction of the pupils with the inn installations and how much these responses are determined by the gender of the pupils.

Essay about Gun Control - 1074 Words

Gun control in the United States has been a controversial issue for some time now. So much so that the Supreme Court even refuses to address this issue directly. Gun control really boils down to the the Second Amendment of the Constitution. Many people have different interpretations of the Second Amendment and the trenches are dug in deep on this issue. The Second Amendment can not provide the right to bear all types of arms to protect the people from governmental tyranny. If the Second Amendment was absolute, then we would allow the public to possess nuclear weapons, missiles, and other such arms, because like the 9 mm handgun that is an arm, a nuclear warhead is also a type of arm. The more our government restricts our rights to own†¦show more content†¦I don’t believe that felons should be restricted from owning hand guns, because they are citizens of this country just as much as you or I. If they are out of jail, that means that they have done their time according to our system and their full rights should be reinstated. If we don’t want certain felons to have guns, then we should make their release conditional. nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;Non citizens of the United States of America should not be allowed to possess any type of weapon. If you are not a citizen you have no right to carry a weapon in our country. If for some reason you need protection here, hire a citizen to protect you while you are visiting. I don’t know why someone would come some place were they feel their live is going to be threatened. nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;It would be next to impossible for our citizens to decide what arms should be allowed for non military ownership. So we group arms in to categories and sub categories. The United States of America is the freest country in the world and yet we don’t have the widest selections of arms available in the world. With good reason, because we are clearly the most violent society in the world and we know this. Certain types of arms have been banned for good reasons.
