   Abstract : Rapid urbanization occurring in many developing countries coupled with the constraints they are facing, has affected road infrastructure service delivery by public authorities charged with managing them. In Kampala City’s mixed income neighbourhood areas that have a disparity between neighbourhood community members, inadequate neighbourhood road management by Kampala City Council who are charged with managing these roads has led to neighbourhood roads that are in a poor state of disrepair, and do not meet many of the needs of their users.

5. 3. People, Climate, and Inclusive Infrastructure : A thesis on design and planning in underserved neighbourhoods

   Author : Joseph Mulligan; Mattias Höjer; David Nilsson; Edgar Pieterse; KTH; []
   Keywords : ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Socio-ecological systems; climate change; infrastructure design and planning; participation; adaptation; co-design; resilience; urban transition; flood risk management; transdisciplinary research; Kibera; Nairobi; Kenya; sub-Saharan Africa.; Strategier för hållbar utveckling; Strategies for sustainable development;

   Abstract : This thesis is concerned with the processes of design and planning of infrastructure in rapidly urbanising cities that can lead to a more just and sustainable trajectory of urban development in the context of a changing climate. The thesis draws on case studies, panel surveys, interviews, and participant-observation of both top-down and bottom-up planning processes for infrastructure development and flood risk management in the context of urban informal areas, with a particular focus on the large informal neighbourhood of Kibera in central Nairobi, Kenya.

6. 4. IT Service Delivery in Nicaraguan Internet Service Providers : analysis and Assessment

   Author : Will Johnny Flores Delgadillo; Paul Johannesson; Lazar Rusu; Eva Söderström; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; IT; service delivery; Internet service provider; Information technology; Informationsteknik; SRA - ICT; SRA - Informations- och kommunikationsteknik;

   Abstract :   The thesis addresses the research question: How to describe, understand, and explain IT service delivery? Based on the research question, the following research questions were derived:  How to analyse IT service delivery based on ITIL in order to determine its current situation? How to formalize elements of IT service delivery in maturity level that can be used to assess its current status? These research questions are answered by two IT artefacts: an analysis method and a maturity model for IT service delivery. Both of them are constructed by design-science research guidelines.

   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Road infrastructure; Life Cycle Assessment LCA ; Lifetime Estimation; Geographic Information System GIS ; Life Cycle Thinking LCT ; Material Flow Analysis MFA ;

   Abstract : Roads have been an important asset of human society and the approach we adopt towards planning, designing, constructing, operating, and maintaining of the road infrastructure has significant consequences in the long-term for not only the humans, but all species on planet Earth. Hence, the lifecycle performance of the road infrastructure that sustain our socioeconomic development with a low environmental impact, while fulfilling their technical and functional requirements is of critical importance and needs to be improved.
