Abstract

The papers referred to in this management exercise are taken from the Local Authority Property Management Conference, organised by the Department of Building and Surveying, Napier University and held at the Edinburgh International Conference Centre on 11 October, 1996. Under the heading of "Local Authority Property Management" Initiatives, Strategies, Re-organisation and Reform, the conference brought together academics and practitioners from the property profession in the aim of exchanging views, opinions and experiences on the development of Local Authority Property Management (LAPM) since the Audit Commission's initial investigations into the matter. During the course of the event a total of twenty-four papers were presented and the following discussion outlines them all in the interests of recording what the document will refer to as the post-Audit Commission developments in LAPM.

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
