“…The conclusion of this paper might be taken into account to discuss the implementation of sustainable transport measures. In this respect, universities, it can be argued, have a pivotal role in fostering social and technological innovation for sustainable development, through research, education, and civic engagement (Allard, et al, 2014). That being said, this article makes the recommendation that research be carried out to see whether rationalizing faculties and consolidating campuses both during and after the procedure will be feasible.…”

“…This trauma could result in a decline in morale, a loss of faith in the employer, and sadness that would afterward affect productivity at work. Allard, Feyt, Fourny, & Talandier (2014) argued that because of the growing population and the variety of activities individuals engage in, mobility is becoming an increasingly important concern. Most activities, whether they are recreational or work-related, need travel.…”

One of six comprehensive universities in South Africa, the Walter Sisulu University (WSU) combines the best academic credentials from universities and technikons in an effort to effectively meet the socio-economic development needs of the nation, in the Eastern Cape Province, and the Buffalo City Metropolitan Municipality, Chris Hani Municipality, King Sabata Dalindyebo Municipality. An institution of a new generation, the WSU is more than the sum of its parts. Its goal is to improve community potential through quality academic programs, research, and community engagement projects with a strong emphasis on involvement and sustainable development. This article considers the different successes and difficulties associated with the WSU rationalization and consolidation of faculties. This theoretical article observes that the government started using rationalization and consolidation as a tool to reconfigure and reform the higher education sector. Rationalization and consolidation are nothing new, and several nations have used them to revamp or reorganize their higher education industries. The article provides literature debates and scholarly background on comparing the South African higher education sector's proposed rationalisation and consolidation to those of other nations' higher education sectors, however, would reveal the most ambitious reform program ever launched in recent memory. The conceptual paper adopts a thematic qualitative approach. The primary wave of the mergers mandated by the government that happened in 2004 and 2005 was preceded by the 2002 merger of Walter Sisulu University.

“…In their research, Mustafa et al (2010) recognized the privacy of traditional and modern homes in the Iraqi city of Erbil with the help of spatial configuration. Allard et al (2014) in his research "Increasing awareness of household mobility, leverage to change housing options and improve national sovereignty" deals with the relationship between spatial configuration theory and property value. Ali Tajer et al (2019) in their research "Privacy at home: analysis of behavioral patterns in a spatial configuration of traditional and modern houses in the city of Hamadan based on the concept of space syntax" examine the old houses and new houses in Hamadan from In terms of privacy, they have also provided graphical analysis using space layout software.…”

Flexibility has been one of the valuable concepts in architecture due to the emphasis on the formation of a variable space to meet the needs of users and their peace and comfort over time. The main components of flexibility in a space system are multi-functional space, seasonal and daily displacement, and component separation and aggregation. Overall flexibility is a structural and conceptual concept that means the ability to make internal changes in a spatial system. On the other hand, the concept of spatial configuration emphasizes that space is the main factor and core of how events occur. To understand and explain the spatial configuration, one should look for a suitable method that responds to the environmental characteristics, one of the most important methods for understanding the spatial configuration is the space arrangement method. This method determines the configuration of a spatial system with the help of its variables, which are: coherence, depth, space difference, isovist, and visual accessibility. The main goal of this research is to know the relationship between spatial configuration variables and flexibility components in the spatial system of traditional houses in the Sufian neighborhood of Borujerd. This research is of applied type and has been done through correlation strategy and space layout method. The tool for collecting information in this research is documentary and library research and a survey through a questionnaire. To evaluate the variables and components of spatial configuration and flexibility, the relationship between the components and variables is first measured using the correlation method and spss software. The statistical population for measuring the relationship between flexibility components and spatial configuration variables is 25 experts and university professors. In the next step, five houses from the traditional houses of the Sufian Boroujerd neighborhood will be measured and evaluated using specialized space layout software to determine the variables of the concept of spatial configuration and their relationship with flexibility components. The results of this research show that the multi-functional space component in flexibility with depth and visual accessibility variables in the concept of spatial configuration, the seasonal and daily displacement component in flexibility with interconnected variables, space difference and isovist in the concept of spatial configuration and the component of separation and aggregation in flexibility is related to the interlinking variables, depth, and difference of space in the concept of spatial configuration.

“…Dichos desarrollos periféricos son el resultado de características económicas y sociales, como por ejemplo: suelo más barato, terrenos con una mayor extensión y vivienda asequible en los suburbios; además, la búsqueda de tranquilidad, y a veces la construcción de infraestructuras específicas designadas para promover los asentamientos en las zonas periféricas, pueden detonar la dispersión urbana (Harvey y Clark, 1965;Nechyba y Walsh, 2004;Allard, et al, 2014y Zhang, 2010. No obstante, la población al elegir su residencia en dichas zonas normalmente subestima los mayores costos de transporte que implica el desplazamiento al núcleo central (Newman y Kenworthy, 1988;Nicolas, et al, 2003;Rouge, 2005;Banister y Hickman, 2006;Allard et al, 2014y Obregón et al, 2016.…”
