How can knowledge be reconfigured so as to enhance experience,
enable participation, and augment environments? "Shaping Knowledge"
argues that knowledge is a product of human activity in a social
space, and as a result is a formative resource. The book takes a
step beyond information visualisation and imagines a learning
environment in which knowledge can be manipulated as an object.
Practical examples from the domains of health, education, travel,
museums and libraries are offered, and chapters cover knowledge and
space, unpredictability and authorship, as well as agility,
ubiquity and mobility.
Applies high-level theory work to an engineering domainProposes a
novel approach to spatial, urban and interaction designBrings a
rare inter-disciplinary perspective to a convergent technology"
This book offers state-of-the-art 'tools for thinking' for urban
designers, planners and decision-makers. Thematically it focuses on
the contexts of problems in urban design and places community
spaces at the heart of urban design research. The book provides
practicable tools for network modelling and visualization in urban
design research. Step-by-step examples take readers through methods
for tracing the evolution of road networks, and their impacts on
contemporary community spaces. Easy-to-follow guides to programming
show how to process and plot community data sets as network graphs.
They reveal how these can help to observe and represent the
different ways in which community spaces are inter-connected. This
book places these technological methods in the context of current
theories of community formations. It considers how these
cutting-edge tools for thinking in urban design research -
comprising both theories and methods - could transform our
understanding of community spaces as being complex, inter-dependent
and socially meaningful assets. This book is pioneering in its
analysis of the urban contexts to community formations, and in its
argument for professional integration between urban and knowledge
practitioners. Academics and professionals within the fields of
design research, urban studies, spatial analysis, urban geography
and sociology will benefit from reading this book.

The Irish Health Sector has a long and turbulent history. This
history has lended itself to some of the current issues that face
the progression of the Health Sector today. This research will look
at the main historical events that have influenced healthcare in
Ireland, the current structure of the Health Sector, how healthcare
in Ireland is financed, some comparisons with other countries and
some of the key issues in the Health Sector at present.
