- Abstract/Description

A double-bounded dichotomous choice contingent valuation survey was administered to 2,000 residents of Franklin and Gulf Counties, Florida, with the objective of documenting any bias as a result of the institutional basis in the hypothetical payment vehicle. The mean willingness to pay (WTP) estimates for state and private payment vehicles are $4.39 and $5.08 per month respectively, significantly different at the 0.15 level. This is evidence of the importance in choosing the institutional...

This is evidence of the importance in choosing the institutional foundation for the payment vehicle. The major determinants of WTP appear to be education, perception of existing water quality and the attitudes of respondents towards the environment. However, WTP responses may vary temporally and spatially with differences in demographics and goods and services valued.

- Abstract/Description

This thesis is an examination of the conception and creation of architecture through the use of human sensory perception, specifically, architecture through the perception of sound. Furthermore it is a study on the relationship between architecture and the human experience. This thesis focuses on the phenomenon of sound and hearing relative to how the human body engages architecture. The core of the research will elaborate on two specific questions: #1 (Can Architecture be heard?) and #2 (How...

Show more1. Abstract The process of delivering architecture has taken on many new faces-faces which now include the contractor, architect and owner as integral participants in the overall delivery of a project. With these new changing faces have come new roles and responsibilities for each of the major players to include the addition of other players. These changes have caused the birth of construction managers and engineers who play integral roles in the delivery of the project. With the addition of these players come new delivery methods that try to build on the traditional design- bid—construct method. These new methods of Construction Management (CM) and Design Build (DB), are slowly becoming the choice methods of major sponsors both private and public. Because these methods offer the client a faster delivery time and more control of cost than the traditional delivery method, owners are rushing to make use of the benefits of these methods. Therefore, the owner must make choices about how to rate these methods and select one which will fit their needs. The State University System (SUS) of Florida is an owner large enough to use all three of these methods. It makes choices based on project criteria, rules, regulations, politics, economics, time, efficiency and laws about which method it will and can use. This thesis will investigate the SUS’s criteria used for the selection of one of these delivery methods. Then it will compare how these and other potential alternative methods could be used by the SUS. The investigation will yield some insight into how these systems (Design-Bid, DB and CM) relate to each other in similar building types and the similar types of organizations which are needed to back these systems. It is my belief that these project delivery systems perform very differently under very similar conditions. i also believe that these delivery systems do not perform to their full potential if they are ill matched to the project scope and needs. This thesis will then make an assessment on whether the
