Through literature review of "barrier-free" concept and the oversea examples, the meaning of "barrier-free" is discussed. This study targets three categories of shopping centres namely shopping centers owned by The Hong Kong Housing Authority (the Housing Authority), shopping centres owned and managed by the Link and shopping centres privately owned by single developer. Via literature review, a questionnaire survey on disabled people about their general comments to different shopping centres and a site survey conducted to the six shopping centres from the perspective of property manager, the application of barrier-free facilities in two shopping centres of each category are examined. Research questions are raised and answered: what are facility users' comments to each category of shopping centres when they were interviewed? Is there a relationship between the performance on facility categories and different shopping centres? Do the users' comments differ from those of a property manager? Is there any difference between shopping centres managed by the same authority and why? What are major reason behind accessibility problems observed generally and how and who to improve the status quo? Sub chapter 3.5.1 reviews the questionnaire result that shopping centres owned and managed by the Link has the best performance in the application of different barrier-free facilities while the worst comments were given to shopping centers owned by the Housing Authority. Based on the questionnaire results, sub chapter 3.5.2 discusses the influence of business position of different shopping centres on the resources allocation, general policy and practice of barrier-free facilities based on questionnaire results reviewed in sub chapter 3.5.1. Sub chapter 4.4.1 discusses observation of uneven efforts on accessibility practices and facility application in different shopping centres under the same management authority after site survey in two shopping centres in each of three categories was conducted. Sub chapter 4.4.2 reviews the similarity in result of site survey and questionnaire survey conducted on the shopping centres owned and managed by The Link while the shopping centres owned by single developers are found to have worse performance on entrance accessibility as compared to questionnaire results. Observation of irresponsive attitude to overcome accessibility insufficiency is discussed in sub chapter 4.4.3. As the site survey exposes the lack of barrier free facilities and non-compliance with standards requirements in different shopping centres due to lack of advisory resources from the government, insufficient knowledge and skills of the management staff and lack of quality assurance in manufacturing and installation of barrier-free facilities, three suggestions are discussed in sub chapter 5.2.1, 5.3.1 and 5.4.1 including panel for registration and certification of quality contractors and service providers, vocational training and exchange of ideas, review on existing regulations for obligatory provision of barrier free facilities to improve the accessibility performance in different shopping centres.

Download or read book Professional Housing Management Practices in Hong Kong written by Rebecca Lai-Har Chiu and published by Hong Kong University Press. This book was released on 2006-10-01 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Professional housing management is of growing importance in Hong Kong and the "Hong Kong management model" is adopted in many neighbouring high-density cities. However, there has been by far no literature on the subject of housing management practices in Hong Kong. This book is therefore crucial in understanding how housing management makes significant contributions to the safety, viability, liveability and vibrancy of our high-density and high-rise environment. Since the late 1980s, housing education in this city has developed by leaps and bounds. A recent study found that over 3,000 junior practitioners would be seeking professional training or further study for career advancement. This book is an indispensable aid to self-study or taught courses.

Abstract: The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government is definitely a typical example of a tradition bureaucracy which translates policies into actions. It relies on neutral and career civil servants working in the Weberian hierarchy to deliver public goods and services. The principal-agent theory may be used to study the contractual and hierarchical relationships in the public bureaucracy. It postulates that agents have conflicts of interests and information advantages over their principals and make use of opportunities to manipulate their principals and the political process for gains. Hence, an appropriate manpower strategy, either by external labour market or internal labour market, is necessary to ensure agents choose those courses of actions that produce desirable outcomes so as to achieve organizational objectives and operational efficiency. The Hong Kong Housing Authority ("HKHA"), as a statutory body, is responsible for formulating public housing policies in Hong Kong whereas the Housing Department, as the executive arm of the HKHA and one of sixty-one government departments, is responsible for its implementation with the objectives of the Government's Long Term Housing Strategy. In late 1990s, the Government embarked many public management reforms in which the fundamental ways in delivering public goods and services have been altered. Since 1998, the HKHA has introduced many substantial reforms in its core businesses, including an aggressive manpower strategy of employing contract staff and ceasing the recruitment of civil servants. The HKHA's original long-term manpower strategy which mainly relies on the civil service fits the Internal Labour Market model very well and promotion serves as an effective mechanism to achieve organizational efficiency. However, the employment of contract staff which introduced a number of efficiency features from the external labour market fails to appreciate the importance of promotion, and operational inefficiency was found as evidenced by various documentary sources and analyses from interviewees. The findings of this study are consistent with the Hypotheses and it is recommended that the HKHA explore alternative human resource management policies and practices, in additional to the existing ones, to cope with the rising public expectations and the increasing challenges for the years ahead.

To meet the community's expectation, The HK SAR Government launched which believed Tenants Purchase Scheme (TPS) was a solution. Through this scheme, public housing tenants were encouraged to buy their flats in their affording price. In the beginning, it received a very good response and it seemed very optimistic. However, it was severely criticized lately about the estate management and the arguments arc never ended. According to Arnstein's model, the cause might be due to different expectations, role change and participation from various involved parties, including Housing Authority, TPS flat owners and public housing tenants in the TPS estates. Cairneross, Clapham and Goodlad (1997) implied tenant, housing manager and councilor were playing a game under the framework of tenant participation and such game determinate the rules of housing management. Thus, that may apply to the situation happened in TPS. With the vision of living in peace and contentment for TPS residents, this dissertation aims at examining the role changing of residents, from tenant to owner, and the level of resident participation in those TPS estates and eventually to exam how these conflicts occur from such changes. By applying Arnstein's model to investigate the issue, we hope to identify the root cause and provide a light of resolution. To carry out the investigation, documentary review and interviews were conducted to gather information for analysis. Base on the findings with Arnstein's model, this paper concludes that TPS could be a good example to explain Arnstein's ladder of Citizen Participation - The change of role leads to the reallocation of estate management authority. If we can solve the management issues, TPS is a good scheme to help citizens to create comfortable living place. We hope this dissertation can help to provide a light of resolution.
