Emergent paradigms and experiential perspectives : towards place responsive planning in Nunavut
Bibliographic record
Abstract
In recent years, there has been a trend towards devolution in govemance.This trend presents particulff promise for Northem and Aboriginal residents, many of whom have intensified their appeals for serf-determination, arguing that existing governance structures do not adequately accommodate their unique needs and intefests.As planning is inextricably linted to govemance, the discipline inevitably assists in facilitating or restricting the development of devolved govemance forms.For Northem and Aboriginal residents, therefore, the direction of planning practice warants serious consideration.This thesis situates the present position of pianning in the North, in view of determining how the discipline can assist in structuring more place ¡elevant and culturally sensitive govemance forms in Nunavut.The study traces the paradigmatic devel0pment of the discipline to discuss how conventional, ¡ational planning theories have generally failed to engender place relevant policy.Emergent viewpoints on place are then explored and aligned with transformative planning theories in an attempt to offer new perspectives on place sensitive social policy construction.This study draws on the experiential perspectives of Northern p¡actitioners to further situate the position of pranning in Nunavut.The empiricar resea¡ch focuses on connecting planning theory to practice, merging emergent conceptual viewpoints with the analysis of existing planning infrastructures.The thesis concludes that Northern planners are wetl situated to assist in structuring more place relevant and culturally sensitive govemance forms.A series of ¡ecommendations is provided as a tool to guide practitioners in their efforts to help develop those forms.'conceptual boxes' (Roberts, 2000) from within which p¡actitioners have fashioned research and practice are altering, giving way to the emergence of new guiding policy frameworks, or paradigms, as this study has identified them.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
