...economy. In fact the New Forest has more visitors per square kilometre than any other national park (7.5 visits/km2). Leisure and tourism is the world’s second largest industry in terms of income generated. In recent years there has been an explosion of tourism in the UK. This is due to: • Increase in personal incomes • Increase in leisure time • Paid holidays as part of employment contracts • Shorter working week • Earlier retirement • Increased mobility • Improved availability of information (especially through the internet) This fact sheet looks at the number of people who visit the New Forest and how they spend their time when they get here. For further information on how the New Forest National Park Authority aims to identify and manage both the positive and negative effects of the number of visitors and the level of recreation within the Park see the Tourism and Recreation: Managing the Impacts fact sheet. The following facts and figures come from a result of a number of surveys carried out by Tourism South East Research Services, September 2005. Volume and Value estimates The total visitor volumes using the New Forest Park is estimated at 13,555,400 visitor days (excluding business tourists and personal and social visits to friends and relatives).

...On November 5, 2013 the voters of Corpus Christi voted against the bond proposal Destination Bayfront. After doing research for this paper and learning about the proposal I disagree with the election results. I think that Destination Bayfront is just what the city of Corpus Christi needs and feel that the benefits of Destination Bayfront out weigh the cons. Destination Bayfront was a proposed plan to dramatically up grade the thirty four acre area along the Corpus Christi Bayfront just south of the downtown area. The proposal included building a large park that would be sectioned off into nine different areas with lots of shade and parking. Some of the areas were to include a boarkwalk along the seawall, a play area for children, improved beach access to McGee Beach, large family areas, a dog park, an area for restaurants and shops, a great lawn for festivals and concerts, and a memorial park for the veterans of Corpus Christi. “You may have been an avid supporter; you may have been a vocal detractor. All things considered, one thing is for certain; Destination Bayfront looked to be a game changer for the Costal Bend” (QTD. Jimmy Willden, The Heart of Our City). The site where the Memorial Coliseum once stood had garnered a lot of attention over the years as both private and public ventures alike put bids for their vision of what this site could become. In the end, deed restrictions that were put...

...Windshield Survey Assessment Paper Windshield Survey Assessment Paper Physical The city of Victorville began in 1962 and started off with a population of 8,000 that has grown to be a population of 121,000, and continues to grow (92392 Zip Code Population and Races, n.d.). The condition of the houses appear to be in mint condition with the exception of some homes in the area of El Evado and Pacoima that have lawns that are dead and full of weeds. The paint on these homes are chipped and not well kept. There are many apartments in Victorville that appear to look old on the outside, but each apartment building has been renovated to look more twenty first century. There aren't many abandoned houses in the city of Victorville but there abandoned vehicles in front of houses that have oxidized paint and dust covering them. The houses in the neighborhoods are very similar in their layout, the only difference each house has is the color of the paint on outside of the house. Some residents have also added on additions to their homes such as extra rooms or in ground pools, which have raised the equity in these homes. There is one abandoned building that stands out in Victorville and that is because it is in a shopping center that has flourishing businesses within that same parking lot that use to be an Albertsons. This building has been empty for a couple years and is located on Bear Valley and Amargosa. There is a large number of stray dogs in Victorville due to the faulty wooden...

...August 20, 2011 Pit Bulls: Mean or Misunderstood? By Andre Bourgeois Thesis: There is no other dog that conjures up fear and terror by the mere mention of their name as the pit bull. American Pit Bull Terrier (APBT) aka Pit Bull brings fear to people because of the amount of human fatalities these dogs are supposedly involved in. The media would have you believe that these deaths are on the rise and is of epidemic proportions with the pit bull being the main perpetrator. An urban legend is that they have Locking jaws and have a super strength bite force. Another myth is that they are aggressive towards people, and go insane. Most people don’t realize is that the term “Pitt bull” is not a breed of dog; it is a group of a certain type of dog. The origin of this breed doesn’t help their reputation. The APBT was bred specifically for the purpose of being the ultimate fighting dog. The breed needed to be quick, agile, strong, determined, aggressive, and able to withstand pain and have a lot of game (to never give up under any situations). What is not known about the APBT is that they were bred NOT to be aggressive toward people. That was one trait that was bred into them, non aggressive towards people. The breeders needed that trait because when breaking up dog fights they didn’t want to get bit. When one dog would bite the handler, one of two things would happen; either that dog would get put down or didn’t get bred again. This was done to keep the bloodline pure. Because...

...On average, Yellowstone Nation park sees a little less than one million people a year, with people visiting in the spring, summer, fall and winter. Billions of photographs are taken here, including traditional landscape photos, wedding photos, and even selfies. Within regulation, drone photography is even possible, allowing people to see the park from a whole new perspective. This mass accumulation of photos creates a new perspective of the national park, and preservers the memory for the rest of existence. However, the mass growth of this nature “repository” leaves many memories forgotten, and images often get buried under piles and piles of cute dog photos and implicit memes. While memes were not an issue back in the 1940’s, the rapid expansion...

...Introduction The world is a place for everyone and everything to live comfortably. In order to fulfill this comfort that we are supposed to have, we have to keep a healthy environment. Everything that everyone does affects the environment, in good and bad ways. There are things that go unnoticed in everyday life that needs to be looked at more seriously in order to improve the environment. Recognizing and correcting the problem and promoting the positive aspects will ultimately improve the environment. In order to maintain a healthy environment, society must become aware of how day-to-day activities impact the environment and they also need to be ready to approach and change such lifestyles. So how can we, as individuals, improve the environment? Why When talking about environment related issues, most people just don’t care; they are only doing enough to get by for themselves. The only concerns they have are paying their bills on time, taking care of their family, keeping their job, and being happy. People are contemplating the fact that they are just one person, and the changes they make won’t make a difference so why should it matter. (Savage) If this mind set of people changes then that one person will turn it to hundreds and thousands of people and differences in the environment will start to be seen. There are multiple different reasons on why you should care about the environment and what impacts it. Approximately 40% of deaths globally are cause by pollution, and...

May 2007 Wildlife Biology Conservation of leopard in Ayubia National Park, Pakistan Director: Dr. Daniel H. Pletscher Large carnivores are important for biodiversity and ecosystem function, yet are very difficult to conserve because of their large home ranges and conflicts with humans. I examined human-leopard conflicts in and near Ayubia National Park, Pakistan, to provide management recommendations for the conservation of leopards. Persecution of leopards by humans has been on the rise primarily due to depredation on livestock and risk to human lives. Since 1989, 16 humans have either been killed or injured in and around Ayubia National Park while leopards faced 44 human-caused mortalities during the same period. I examined the management strategy adopted by NWFP Wildlife Department for leopard conservation, identify gaps, and suggest possible management...

...Pedro Baez Pol 72: Prof: V. GRAVELLI 12/03/2014 Final Paper The Challengers of the Homeless Minority Family Across the United States some people are living in the street corners, subway trains station and homeless shelters because they have nowhere else to go in New York City. Although the majority of studies have found homeless children are evidence greater problems than low-income housed children, results are inconsistent. Factors that may account for these discrepant findings are discussed, and recommendations for additional research are offered. Being homeless is no joke because they don’t have the luxury of being in stable home of their own which often they ask for help from other people like spear any lose change, leftover food or mostly a place to sleep. The basic problem of homelessness is the human need for personal shelter, warmth and safety, which can be literally vital. Other basic difficulties include personal security, quiet, and privacy, especially for sleeping, safekeeping of bedding, clothing and possessions. Homeless people don’t have much to carrier at all times like hygiene and shaving facilities or even obtaining preparing and storing food in small quantities. Some time trying to keep in contacts with family without a permanent location or mailing address also hostility and legal powers against urban vagrancy.

...migrated into the big urban areas. They are facing many obstacles in their struggle to make a position in a new environment. Is there anything that the urban planners and designers can do to help them blend into the society and give them a sense of belonging and identity? This research will make efforts to address this question and discuss the relation between immigrants and urban environments, particularly the public open spaces by a series of research methodologies. Some literatures will be reviewed and discussed to give a general understanding of the relation between urbanisation and immigrants and the effects of public open space. Then, in order to narrow the research scope, the investigation of immigrants’ social integration condition will be conducted in Guangzhou which is one of the most developed metropolises in China with large amounts of domestic immigrants. Moreover, the white-collar immigrants were chosen as the main research target group. In general, “white-collar” refers to a salaried professional or an educated worker who performs semi-professional office, administrative, and sales coordination tasks, as opposed to a blue-collar worker, whose job requires manual labor (Mills 1951). In this research, the term “white-collar” mainly indicates people with a certain level of incomes and education background. They can also be generally considered as middle class in the society. They are the mainstream in most of Chinese metropolises, so it is representative to study their...
