Cuba, Best Practices: quel potentiel d'élargissement

2007
Journal Articles

Abstract

The present article evaluates the knowledge that can be attributed to the application of « Best Practices » in the field of urban habitat. It especially aims at identifying the conditions of innovation in such a setting, as well as defining the necessary circumstances for an enlargement – or even the replication - of « Best Practices ». The analysis is based on the study of programs and projects carried out by the NGO “Habitat-Cuba” between 1994 and 2001. Two key aspects of the question will be highlighted: the “powers’ peripheral character of this type of programs and the “suspension” of a certain number of standards as a condition for success. The article thus underlines the fragility of these experiences in the longer term.

Type system

In computer programming, a type system is a logical system comprising a set of rules that assigns a property called a type (for example, integer, floating point, string) to every "term" (a word, phrase, or other set of symbols). Usually the terms are various constructs of a computer program, such as variables, expressions, functions, or modules. A type system dictates the operations that can be performed on a term. For variables, the type system determines the allowed values of that term.

Type safety

In computer science, type safety and type soundness are the extent to which a programming language discourages or prevents type errors. Type safety is sometimes alternatively considered to be a property of facilities of a computer language; that is, some facilities are type-safe and their usage will not result in type errors, while other facilities in the same language may be type-unsafe and a program using them may encounter type errors.

Data type

In computer science and computer programming, a data type (or simply type) is a collection or grouping of data values, usually specified by a set of possible values, a set of allowed operations on these values, and/or a representation of these values as machine types. A data type specification in a program constrains the possible values that an expression, such as a variable or a function call, might take. On literal data, it tells the compiler or interpreter how the programmer intends to use the data.
