ItemPolicies for Sustainable Mobility: Investigating the Role of Transport Policies in Enhancing Sustainable MobilityChung, Johnny ( 2022)As there is more awareness to global climate change, there is an emergence of sustainable transport plans, which address this issue from a planning perspective. However, sustainable transport policies have been promoted quite heavily with overly ambitious goals. In addition, the legacy of path dependence approach to transport planning, the efficacy of these new policies must thus be scrutinised. This thesis investigates transport policies and their role in enhancing sustainable mobility. For a better understanding of the topic, this thesis has also explored the literature on transport planning in Melbourne and sustainability in transport planning. The research operates under a framework that is adapted to the Ideologies of Mobility concept. This research uses the City of Melbourne as a case study as it is the centre of the Metropolitan’s transport network. The first half of the research is a policy analysis that investigates transport and planning documents associated with the City of Melbourne and their role in enhancing sustainable mobility. The second half investigates the obstacles of achieving sustainable mobility from local transport planners through semi-structured interviews. From there, the data collected from the two methods is further analysed through a thematic analysis to determine how transport policies can promote sustainable mobility.

ItemWhere should the restricted parking area for shared e-scooters be located? Create criteria and maps for ‘no-parking zones’ for Flagstaff StationZhang, Xinyi ( 2022)Heritage identification by nation-state governments have historically favoured monumental sites with popular historical narratives, typically representing majority cultures. Recent challenges of these hegemonic selections have broadened our understanding and definition of cultural heritage and heritage values. The nomination and management by heritage bodies, of sites based on criteria which go beyond identifying physical or aesthetic characteristics has prompted greater acknowledgement of the social meaning or value of a place through heritage policies. The DAAR’s (Decolonizing Architecture Art Research) recent attempts to nominate Dheisheh camp of Palestine in the UNESCO world heritage list, explores heritage nomination and conservation in spaces of refugeehood, statelessness, contested memories and temporary urban forms. This paper attempts to identify a key challenge of recognising and conserving sites such as Dheisheh. How can we form heritage values and narratives around temporary urban structures that transcends formal state boundaries and contain complex ownership? The paper examines the Dheisheh camp to understand how it confronts this challenge by rethinking heritage and conservation through different perspectives which transcend the expectations of spectacular architecture with Outstanding Universal Value, that aids in the commodification, consumption and long-term viability through tourism revenue of specific cultural heritage sites. The DAAR’s process of rebuilding, reimagining and re-producing spaces attempts to understand and confront the paradox of creating permanence and celebrate refugeehood as a valid form of heritage. The human or social resilience of Dheisheh becomes the main theme of this case study as illustrating the site’s significance. The thesis offers new ways of understanding intangible heritage and social value in unconventional heritage places and temporally precarious environments.
