... Subject: Request for Permission to Research Employee Parking Lot Construction Introduction The purpose of this memo is to request permission to pursue research on the opportunity of constructing a secured parking lot for employees of the Department of Human Services (DHS). With over 1,000 employees and over 300 clients daily, the Department of Human Services is one of the busiest organizations located on Hospital Street, St. Thomas. Besides Human Services, Bergs Home, a housing community known for criminal activities and Bethlehem Shelter, a temporary housing for the needy, are located in this area. At the rear of the building, directly across from Bergs Homes and next to Bethlehem Shelter, is a newly cleared area that has become the permanent parking for employees. Issue Without predetermined parking spaces, an average of 100 cars can fit in this area. Due to the lack of security, anyone can park in an available space. Often, clients, visitors of Bergs Homes, and volunteers of Bethlehem Shelter occupy this parking area. Consequently, parking for DHS employees is affected. In addition, during 2011, a string of robberies occurred in this rear parking lot. On different occasions, three employees were robbed at gunpoint. Other than robberies, there was one homicide last year that resulted in three employees’ cars being damaged. Seeking safety, employees refuse to park in the rear parking area. Many employees park along the road side and often...

In section B, the “Ideal Housing” section, the sub-sections are features of housing, type of housing, roommate preferences, marketing channel of housing, and “importance of the housing when first come to the University.” Section C is “Transportation” section, which is divided into two subsections, namely form of transportation and time of arrival and leaving. For the section D, the “Housing Features”, there are three sub-sections, including “neighborhood features,” “building features,” and “unit feature”. In section E, the “About Yourself” section, the sub-sections are academic and demographic information. The last section is “About Your preference,” whose sub-sections are preference of room type, “comparison among time, living space and rent”, “how to spend your time” and rent.

...Question 1 Due to a shortage of space for surface parking lots, the University is considering the development of a new policy for the re-allocation of all existing parking permits. Briefly describe two reasonable policies that might be considered, the strengths and weaknesses of each, and what data and information you would attempt to obtain as a basis for the evaluation of the various alternatives. Answer: 1. Alternation of vehicles: in Brazil is a practice commonly used, which consists of the relay boards that can drive around the city in this case parking on predetermined days. For example, on Monday, Wednesday and Friday can only park the car with plates ending with numbers between 0 and 5, and on Tuesday and Thursday only plates ending with numbers between 6 and 9. This encourages users to use alternative form of transport such as bus, bicycle, rideshare. • Strengths: - Decreased the cars flow in the parking lot and the traffic of the city. - The current space is sufficient to accommodate the cars in the parking lot of UofR. - Encourages people to use alternative transportation and harm the environment less. • Weaknesses: - Restricts mobility of people because there are places in town that take a long time to take a bus or no bus routes nearby. - Reduces the comfort and practicality - In days of snowfall the locomotion becomes difficult if you have to take a bus. 2. Increasing the rate of parking and offer discounts according to the number of people inside...

...architectural design can control human behavior. Architects build structures and place them strategically in order to respond to human needs. For example, a playground or supermarket’s design is a direct layout of what the architect wants the individual to experience. Commercial and residential design plays a major role in a person’s life; therefore these structures are built with considerations of the general public. For example, an office building that has handicapped access and parking lot with handicapped spaces, are placed to provide convenience to those in need of it. With building and design it is also important to create sustainable development. Sustainable development now will promote better days for the future. It’s never too late to think ahead. Physical structure on human behavior "For architects and their buildings to be taken seriously, buildings must be imbued with the power to make a difference to their inhabitants" (Kraftl & Adey, 2008). The job of an architect is one of grave importance. Their creations create change. Buildings, homes, parks all create a mental effect on a person. The effect comes from the building of it to the structure itself. When a structure is being built, the anticipation of what is to come plays a role in human behavior and emotion. Along with anticipation can come the inconvenience of the idea of something else being built. For example, when new construction takes place there may be road detours, traffic, bumpy roads, and narrowed...

Most of the people surveyed were students, staff and alumnus, overall they constituted 209 from the 250 people surveyed.

Therefore communicators need to pay attention to these factors if they want the communication to succeed. Physical Space – the space between the sender and the receiver of a message, and it influences the way the message is interpreted. PROXEMICS is the study of how people use and perceive the physical space around them. - the term territoriality is still used in the study of proxemics to explain human behavior regarding personal space. Hargie and Dickson identify four such territories: a. Primary territory – refers to an area that is associated with someone who has exclusive use of it ex: You cannot enter a house without the owner’s permission b. Secondary territory – unlike the previous type, there is no “right” to occupancy, but people may still feel some degree of ownership of a particular space. Ex: You may sit in the same seat on a bus everyday and feel unhappy if someone else sits there. c. Public territory – refers to an area that is available to all, but only for a set period, such as a parking space or a seat in a canteen. Although people have only a limited claim over that space, they often...

In the year 1981, the owner, Howard Schultz, had his first encounter with Starbucks coffee when he walked into a Starbucks store and tried a cup of Sumatra for the first time. He fell in love with the taste of the finest freshly roasted whole bean coffee that the store had to offer. After a short period of time, Howard Schultz decided to join the Starbucks family. Starbucks set a mission to always be a different type of company, meaning they would stand out from any other coffee shop ever created for coffee lovers around the world. Starbucks’ marketing team decided to give each franchise a different experience for the customers that would come into the restaurant to purchase coffee. Starbucks had many key elements that led to their success over the years. Starbucks has become a top global brand by adhering to five key principles (Frankson 2013). The saying “make it your own”, was created for customers to have the ability to customize each of their experiences while visiting Starbucks. “Everything matters”, focuses on every aspect of the job. Starbucks vowed to never lose their focus on the customers’ experience and point of view. “Surprise and delight,” was created because Starbucks...
