论幼教建筑环境

我国在幼儿教育方面虽有了“开放式教育”,但当前托幼建筑空间组合方式多是分隔、封闭的格局,因而,为幼儿提供一个能提高他们生活、交往和与游戏相适应的良好的建筑环境,显得颇为重要。着重从幼教建筑环境要顺应新的教育思想和方式以及为幼儿的广泛社交创造条件的角度,来探讨托幼建筑环境的创造,以期对幼教建筑环境的改善和提高有所帮助。

Siting Noxious Facilities: A Test of the Facility Siting Credo

Over the past decade it has become increasingly difficult to site noxious facilities, despite the fact that there is a growing need to do so. To address this problem, a set of guidelines for a fairer, wiser, and more workable siting process—the Facility Siting Credo—was developed during a National Facility Siting Workshop in 1990. This paper presents an empirical test of these guidelines. A questionnaire based on the Credo was completed by stakeholders in 29 waste facility siting cases, both successful and unsuccessful, across the United States and Canada. Using an independent determination of outcome (success), a preliminary ranking of the importance of various Credo principles was obtained. The data reveal that establishing trust between the developer and host community is an important factor in facilitating the siting process. The siting process is most likely to be successful when the community perceives the facility design to be appropriate and to satisfy its needs. Public participation also is seen to be an important process variable, particularly if it encourages a view that the facility best meets community needs. Moreover, a siting process where communities volunteer to host facilities is an approach that holds promise for meeting many of these key success criteria.     

Residential Building Codes,Affordability, and Health Protection: A Risk-Tradeoff Approach

Residential building codes intended to promote health and safety may produce unintended countervailing risks by adding to the cost of construction. Higher construction costs increase the price of new homes and may increase health and safety risks through income and stock effects. The income effect arises because households that purchase a new home have less income remaining for spending on other goods that contribute to health and safety. The stock effect arises because suppression of new-home construction leads to slower replacement of less safe housing units. These countervailing risks are not presently considered in code debates. We demonstrate the feasibility of estimating the approximate magnitude of countervailing risks by combining the income effect with three relatively well understood and significant home-health risks. We estimate that a code change that increases the nationwide cost of constructing and maintaining homes by $150 (0.1% of the average cost to build a single-family home) would induce offsetting risks yielding between 2 and 60 premature fatalities or, including morbidity effects, between 20 and 800 lost quality-adjusted life years (both discounted at 3%) each year the code provision remains in effect. To provide a net health benefit, the code change would need to reduce risk by at least this amount. Future research should refine these estimates, incorporate quantitative uncertainty analysis, and apply a full risk-tradeoff approach to real-world case studies of proposed code changes.     

Character-Based Determinants of Trust in Leaders

Trust is a prominent determinant of effective interpersonal relationships, group process, and organizational development. However, for leaders and managers, trust building is often problematic. The aim of this article is to contribute to a growing understanding of the way in which individual managers can develop trust in organizations, particularly those defined by medium to high risk. The article presents a theoretical and empirical analysis of the nature of trust at work. Building on the results of an earlier study, use is made of the facet-theoretical approach to generate a definitional framework of trust, which focuses on the characteristics of the trusted person that contribute to the development of trust. Using items developed on the basis of a mapping sentence, hypotheses regarding the relations between the definitional framework and empirical observations were tested through smallest space analysis (SSA) of data collected from a sample of 398 bank and hospital employees. The results demonstrate strong support for the definitional system and show a clear association with results of prior research that identify perceptions of ability, integrity, fairness, and openness as key determinants of trust. The empirical structure clearly reflects the attitudinal nature of interpersonal trust at work and the items empirically distinguish distinct character-based components of trust.     

Six Propositions on Public Participation and Their Relevance for Risk Communication

New societal obligations for communicating risk information are emerging in a variety of contexts. This article draws upon the lengthy societal experience with citizen participation programs to identify how risk communication efforts may be effectively structured and implemented. Six major propositions address such themes as means/ends differences in expectations, the timing of the program, the role of credibility and trust, the need for technical and analytical resources, differing thresholds of public involvement, and limitations upon current understandings. Key conclusions for the design of risk communication programs are set forth.

论“职工中心主义”下的职工持股会制度

职工持股制度的萌芽始发于20世纪60年代的美国,后来其在西方国家进一步发展完善.人们普遍认为这种制度是一种企业内部对职工的激励机制,可以促进职工财产的形成,确保和发扬职工对公司的归属意识和忠诚心,从而提高企业的生产效率.20世纪90年代,为了适应国有企业改革的需要,中国的职工持股计划开始起步.随着实践的展开,职工持股会的设立与运行成为该制度中的核心问题.文章结合我国立法实践和学者的论著,从"职工中心主义"的视角,论述我国职工持股会制度的法律构造.     

现代木质建筑在中国发展前景分析

目前我国在木结构建筑的现代应用上无论是对材料的认识、选择和加工,还是对木结构建筑的技术要点、设计方法和技术规范等方面,同西方发达国家相比有相当大的差距。本文以南京"爱涛·漪水园"木质别墅为例,介绍了现代木质建筑通常可分为四类:壁式框架类型、预制类型、原木类型和大跨度类型。现代木质住宅建筑具有建设周期短,可移动性强;保温节能,消费合理;防火防潮,隔绝噪声;抗震抗风,持久耐用;设计合理,选择多样;地域不拘,建造灵活等优越性。这些特性加上良好的市场前景,必然会促进现代木质建筑在中国得到高速发展和普及。
