It is their pleasure to share their passions, in finding solutions for water and environmental problems within the domain of landscape architecture, with you in this research. An iterative journey of design research results in a better understanding of the role of landscape architects in creating both a physically and mentally sustainable city: a much needed development in this urbanising world, with climate change luring around the corner. But without the knowledge and inspiration of certain people this thesis could not have been finalised. A big thanks to supervisor Ingrid Duchhart for her guidance. Also to Bas van Vliet, Eddy Moors, Wim van der Knaap and Kees Hendriks, for the brainstorm sessions leading to the proposal. In Cyprus, the test case location, thanks to: our contact persons Stella Hadjipanagi and Raymond Francis, Adriana Bruggeman, Katerina Charalambous and Marinos Eliades from The Cyprus Institute, Charalambos Theopemptou (former Commissioner of Environment), Water Board of Lemesos, TerraCypria, the interviewees, and the respondents of the questionnaire. Appreciation towards Pieter Germeraad and Roel Dijksma for sharing their knowledge on water (details), and Wouter Achterkamp on the Swillgasser technology. Last but not least, a thank you fellow students, friends and family for all the support. Summary The amount of people living in cities compared to in rural areas is increasing. Currently, these cities are not very sustainable, as they often have a linear metabolism of consuming input and repelling waste. In this thesis, the physical and mental sustainability of urban areas is increased through performing urban landscapes. This is done through two aspects: 1) creating a circular metabolism to close city cycles for physical sustainability, and 2) by creating environmental awareness for mental sustainability. The role of landscape architects is of great significance in designing performing urban landscapes. Not only should the processes in the landscape function, it should also be aesthetically appealing, and people should be able to experience everything. For the first aspect of creating a circular metabolism, the researchers of this thesis propose that the process of stormwater harvesting and re-use, and the process of energy production of organic waste should cooperate. These topics are chosen because quite some cities, especially in the Mediterranean Region and/or in (semi-)arid climates, deal with water quantity problems. In other words, having too much stormwater in the winter and too little in the summer. Another big linear metabolism problem is the fact that urban areas create a large amount of waste, which is passed on to the rural areas for processing. The connection between these processes may not seem obvious, but this thesis provides insights and solutions to prove it is possible. The development of toolboxes, a ‘research for research’ method, is chosen to enable the researchers in creating a performing urban landscape for Limassol (Cyprus), by using the toolboxes’ design options. Whilst testing the toolboxes in Limassol, it turned out that the results remained too broad and were not specific enough, but the lessons learned from the process gave valuable input for the following design exploration. By applying the ‘research through designing’ method, the design of the Little Garyllis Performing Park was made, and the characteristics of designing a performing urban landscape were unravelled. Reader’s guide Here are some useful insights for reading this thesis, to start with the term Cyprus. It must be clear that the island Cyprus and the country Cyprus are not the same. When Cyprus is discussed geographically in this thesis, it is the island which is debated. But, when Cypriots, economics, politics or statistics are disputed the southern Greek part of the island is meant. Furthermore, when a figure is marked with an asterisk (*) in its caption, this figure is derived or adapted from an external source. These external sources can be found in the list of figures. The content Before starting to read, a brief introduction to the global content of the six parts of this thesis is shared here. Part 1 This first part gives an introduction to the theories included and a review on the topic. Part 2 Before starting the design research, this part explains why and how this design research has been conducted. Part 3 The third part summarises all the information on the island Cyprus, the country Cyprus and the city Limassol that was needed to be able to conduct the design research. Part 4 The ‘research part’ of this this can be found in this part. Part 5 This part holds the ‘design part’. Part 6 Finally, the discussion and conclusions are shared in this sixth part.

The well-known questions of ‘What?’, ‘How?’ and ‘Why’ are answered to give an idea of what this design research is about. What? This thesis combines two strategies to make the expanding urban areas more sustainable. Physical sustainability by changing the city’s metabolism from linear to circular, and mental sustainability by creating environmental awareness. How? Landscape architects can play a significant role when creating a physically and mentally sustainable city. This by designing a performing urban landscape. A landscape that is a setting for closing city cycles, as well as a medium for creating environmental awareness. The proposal of this design research is the ability to cooperate the processes of stormwater harvesting and re-use, and energy production from urban organic waste, and herewith closing city cycles. By ensuring that people can experience all steps of the processes in an aesthetic way, also environmental awareness may be created. Why? There is a knowledge gap on how to translate the theory of urban metabolism into design. Furthermore, there is not a lot of research on the role of landscape as medium to create environmental awareness, and no design examples were found. 4 1.2 Theoretical framework In this chapter theory on the overarching subjects of this thesis is outlined [F1.1]. [F1.1] The theoreti cal framework. Sustainable urban design currently changing climate. Citi es make up Sustainability is a commonly used word for over 80% of anthropogenic CO2 emissions nowadays, but the meaning remains somewhat globally every year (UNEP/UN-HABITAT, 2005 unclear for a lot of people. The reason for this cited in While & Whitehead, 2013, p.1325), is that there are many defi niti ons. For this but they are also amongst the most vulnerable thesis the most commonly used defi niti on sites that have to deal with the consequences is adopted, namely that the demands of the of climate change (While & Whitehead, 2013). present generati on are met, but without losing Furthermore, several studies show that the the future generati ons’ ability to meet their demands of a city are large, with an ecological own demands (Willis, n.d.). Sustainable urban footprint reaching further than their borders design, more specifi cally, is concerned with (Pincetl, 2012). Baccini (1997) states that 70- incorporati ng sustainability on two scale levels: 80% of the world’s resources are used by citi es.

At the airport we boarded our bus and drove the short distance to Mandria beach. Although it was already late afternoon in Cyprus, here we had a chance to stretch our legs, get some fresh air, feel the warmth of the Mediterranean sun and begin to explore the nature of Cyprus in winter. Amongst the coastal scrub at the back of the beach we noted some familiar Painted Lady butterflies and a flock of lovely Greenfinches that positively glowed in the low winter sun. The scrub was full of Stonechats and noisy Sardinian Warblers, a chattering call that would form the backdrop to our trip wherever we went. A Zitting Cisticola popped up briefly but our attention was drawn to the recently ploughed fields beyond the scrub.

Kerr, HBS & NBER Tina Xu, Wellesley College November 2017 Abstract: We review the extensive literature since 2000 on the personality traits of entrepreneurs. We first consider baseline personality traits like the Big-5 model, self-efficacy and innovativeness, locus of control, and the need for achievement. We then consider risk attitudes and goals and aspirations of entrepreneurs. Within each area, we separate studies by the type of entrepreneurial behavior considered: entry into entrepreneurship, performance outcomes, and exit from entrepreneurship. This literature shows common results and many points of disagreement, reflective of the heterogeneous nature of entrepreneurship. We label studies by the type of entrepreneurial population studied (e.g., Main Street vs. those backed by venture capital) to identify interesting and irreducible parts of this heterogeneity, while also identifying places where we anticipate future large-scale research and the growing depth of the field are likely to clarify matters.

  • Democratic Change in the Arab World, Past and Present
    ERIC CHANEY Harvard University Democratic Change in the Arab World, Past and Present ABSTRACT Will the Arab Spring lead to long-lasting democratic change? To explore this question, I examine the determinants of the Arab world’s demo- cratic deficit in 2010. I find that the percentage of a country’s landmass that was conquered by Arab armies following the death of the prophet Muhammad statistically accounts for this deficit. Using history as a guide, I hypothesize that this pattern reflects the long-run influence of control structures developed under Islamic empires in the premodern era and find that the available evi- dence is consistent with this interpretation. I also investigate the determinants of the recent uprisings. Taken in unison, the results cast doubt on claims that the Arab-Israeli conflict or Arab culture or Muslim theology is a systematic obstacle to democratic change in the region and point instead to the legacy of the region’s historical institutional framework. ill the Arab Spring lead to long-lasting democratic change? With WIslamist parties and candidates performing well in elections across the Arab world, many observers have begun to predict that the recent upris- ings will usher in a wave of Islamist-dominated autocracies instead of the democratic institutions many protestors initially demanded. These observ- ers often point to the political trajectories of non-Arab, Muslim-majority states such as Iran and implicitly claim that Islamist-dominated states cannot be democratic. Others note that the emergence of democratic regimes in Indonesia and Turkey demonstrate that Islamists can play a con- structive role in democratic institutions.1 One challenge for those interested in forecasting the evolution of institu- tions in the Arab world is that there is little consensus regarding the factors that led to the region’s democratic deficit before the recent uprisings.

  • Cyprus in Spring Holiday Report 2018
    Cyprus in Spring Holiday Report 5 - 13 March 2018 Led by Yiannis Christofides Ophrys Kotschyi © Alex Hyde Greenwings Wildlife Holidays Tel: 01473 254658 Web: www.greenwings.co.uk Email: [email protected] ©Greenwings 2018 Introduction The main focus of this spring tour was to enjoy a good sample of the diversity of plants and other wildlife for which Cyprus is famous. The following is an outline of the week with a daily diary, followed by a gallery and species list. Day 1: 5th March The first guests arrived with the early afternoon flight, Marie-Jose having arrived the day before. After collecting people from the airport a short stop was made at Timi beach to see our first plants and also butterflies. The season was early and the weather unusually warm so there were many flowers out. We saw Matthiola tricuspidata, Centaurea aegialophila, Echium angustifolium. Helichrysum stoechas and Phagnalon rupestre. Greenfinch and Spanish sparrows were in the nearby trees and Hooded crows in the fields. We also saw the first Sardinian Warbler. We then boarded our mini-bus and made another stop to see Spur-winged Plover. White wagtails were present as well. We then headed for Paphos and our hotel, going out to dinner. The late arrivals were met by our driver Astero and joined us later. Day 2: 6th March A day of archaeology, plants and birds today. We didn't have long to travel, so after picking up our picnics we disembarked at the Tombs of the Kings. The site is excellent for plants so we set about identifying the first plants we found.
