Hammadi, Talal Hassan. "Outdoor recreation and leisure patterns in Saudi Arabia and their roles in determining open space planning and design : the case of Jeddah's Corniche." Thesis, University of Sheffield, 1993. http://etheses.whiterose.ac.uk/5975/.
Full textAbstract:
The thesis deals with outdoor recreational opportunities within the urban environment of Jeddah. The lack of sufficient research on resource demand has persuaded the author to attempt to reach an understanding of the existing outdoor recreational and leisure facilities that have shaped the current provision, to determine present use and attitudes and their compatibility with the local culture and environment. The study argues that there is a relationship between various external influences which dominate the planning and design of outdoor recreational provision and users' satisfaction, attitudes, and their leisure behaviour. Despite the great demand for recreation, municipalities have made inadequate provision, which is not based on social or behavioural studies. That is without considering people's desires and needs. Factors such as culture and climate will influence the users' behaviour and their use of recreational opportunities which were disregarded in the planning and design process. Plans and concepts from foreign cultures were blindly used to shape outdoor recreational areas, which created problems such as privacy intrusion for women, and the failure to predict future behaviour. This research investigates how visitors use the space, their demands and what are the hidden social problems to be solved. The research involved a questionnaire, observation and a personal landscape architectural appraisal of Jeddah's Corniche in Jeddah in the summer of 1989. The questionnaire investigates visitors' needs, uses and problems of the recreational facilities. The open space observation explores the intensity of use, type of activity, type of user and their behaviour. The results confirmed the inadequacy of some recreational sites because they adhered to geometrical shapes which had neither integration, nor function, nor did they form adequate space articulation with appropriate shade and shelter. The overall layout causes people's dissatisfaction, especially when their women and children's privacy and safety were exposed to other eyes and physical contacts with traffic or the dangers of sea water. The study raised the need for the development of a strategy and guidelines to prevent future problems on leisure and recreation particularly with respect to local culture. Accordingly the data collected enabled the author to suggest that landscape architectural concepts must be adapted to the Saudi environment, which would seem to be most effective in satisfying existing demand for adequate patterns.

Griffin, Amanda C. "Shared residential outdoor space : what residents do there and the features that support high levels of usage." Thesis, University of Warwick, 2012. http://wrap.warwick.ac.uk/54720/.
Full textAbstract:
Shared residential outdoor space (ROS) is an important resource, especially in urban areas where outdoor space is limited. This study investigates how well shared ROS is used by residents. Data was collected from 129 developments and streets using a postal questionnaire. 346 different areas within the selected sites were measured using the Carto tool of EDINA’s Digimap. Different types of layout were identified; the area of residential outdoor space available per dwelling was calculated and the distance along a walking route to the nearest shop and public open spaces was measured for each area. Aerial and birds-eye view satellite photographs from www.bing.com were used to assess greenness and tree cover and to confirm the layout and era of the buildings. 1328 valid questionnaires were returned. These are considered in three sets: shared ROS only; individual ROS only and both shared and individual ROS. Respondents with only shared ROS available report significantly lower levels of usage than respondents in the other two sets. Variables that vary across the sets and with levels of usage are identified. These are investigated using a casebased, rather than a variable-based method, using fsQCA software developed by Ragin (2008). This enables sets of variables linked with high and low usage of shared ROS to be identified. The most influential attributes are: area of ROS per dwelling, number of households sharing the ROS, greenness, maximum floor level of the dwelling and concerns about noise and privacy. Six interviews and consideration of nine specific developments show that uncertainty about what is ‘allowed’ and concerns about not upsetting neighbours are also inhibitors to using shared ROS. Recommendations are made for improving how well shared residential outdoor spaces are used.

Physically and historically, Bangkok has been shaped by its relationship to its waterfront. Flowing 370 kilometers through Thailand, the Chao Phraya River is more than the nation's lifeline. It was a principal waterway that largely determined the expansion of this former agricultural city. With the advent of industrialization, the focus shifted to the establishment and consolidation of man made infrastructures such as roads and highways, leaving the waterfronts as large areas of underused land, deteriorated ports, warehouses, and informal settlements. With recent developments turning their backs onto the waterfront, the diminishing public exposure and access to the Chao Phraya River means it is quickly losing its historic role as an valuable asset and resource for the capital. This thesis proposes the establishment of a green network along the Chao Phraya River by opening up and developing selected underused areas, and connecting them with the new systematic water transportation. Open to the Public! presents a series of open space networks that offer new public areas to the city by (i) improving the river accessibility to reconnect it with the city, (ii) opening up and creating a new network of public recreational waterfronts that also addresses the existing flooding problem, and (iii) activating the use and access of the hidden Bangkrachao peninsula, a 14.4-million-square-meter jungle located just over two kilometers from the Bangkok Central Business District. As the ports and industrial zone are gradually being moved to new locations, this thesis aims to explore the plausibility of reconnecting this large preservation area back to Bangkok.

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation interrogates the ways in which place-based belongings are constituted through outdoor recreation. By applying material-discursive theories of rhetoric to spaces of outdoor recreation on the Colorado Plateau such as the Arizona Snowbowl ski resort, rock climbing landscapes in the Navajo Nation, adventure mountain biking practices that trace a 19th century stagecoach route, and ultra running trails at Monument Valley on the Navajo Nation and on ancient trails that connect Hopi Villages, and elsewhere, I examine the affective relationships between those activities, landscapes, and cultures. Drawing on spatial and environmental rhetoric and critical theories of race, gender, and sexuality, I analyze affective investments in white settler colonialism to argue that such spaces are more than recreational. The framework I have developed to better explain such spaces, Recreational Colonialism, positions outdoor recreation as the new language of colonialism. Recreational Colonialism is both a discourse and a performance that-in many ways explored in this dissertation-connect outdoor recreational discourses to a trifecta of oppressions through which white settler colonialism depends: white supremacy, capitalism, and heteropatriarchy.

Full textAbstract:
Urban open spaces in Jeddah as a recreational facility fail to respond to the people's desires and needs. Factors, such as culture and climate, that influence the people behaviour and their use of the environment and these facilities are ignored in planning and designing of these places. Alien planning and design concepts gave priority to vehicular movement and maximized the public domain. Community open spaces and gardens assumed to be the primary resource for recreation for the family members. They have the accessibility advantage for everyday recreational activities. This is more important if we take into consideration the fact that children, ladies, elders and disabled have no direct access to cars. However, these open spaces often inadequately designed, maintained and managed which resulted in underutilization of valuable assets. This research investigates the relationship between leisure and recreation pattern and the use of the recreational urban open spaces in the city of Jeddah. It shows the present situation of these facilities. The thesis starts by introducing the problem and discussing some of the factors that affect leisure and recreation, such as religion, time, privacy and climate. In order to pursue the origin of the problem, the thesis discusses the development of the recreational open spaces and facilities in three periods of the city history. These are referred to as traditional, transitional and modem. It shows how the social life, the urban pattern and the recreation and leisure patterns developed from the traditional environment to the modem. It manifests the change in the social life, the environment and the emergence of new recreational facilities. The research involved carrying out survey and observations of selected open spaces in Jeddah in the spring of 1989. The questionnaire investigates the people desires, needs and use of the existing recreational open spaces and facilities. The open space observations explore intensity of use, type of activities, type of users and their behaviour in using these open spaces. Then, implications of the results are discussed and the nature of the problem is defined. The research is concluded by explaining the approach to solve these problems.

Full textAbstract:
With the modern development and urbanisation in the city of Ar Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia, public gardens were introduced as the major public recreational facilities. The establishment of the public gardens commenced at the beginning of the 1980s. Since that time, the number of public gardens has reached 34. They vary in size, the smallest is about 3,000 sq. m. and the largest is about 455,000 sq. m. The rapid development of these facilities, in such a short time, did not allow for extensive assessment of the residents' needs. Rather, the design of these gardens emerged without precedent, based on foreign examples. Because of the adoption of foreign design ideas, the outcome did not respond to the socio-cultural aspects which existed in and were respected by the society. The study was an attempt to recognise and understand the relationship between the sociocultural aspects that govern and guide people's behaviour and the outdoor recreational environment. In order to investigate the relation between human behaviour and the physical environment, three research techniques were defined by which the various dimensions and details concerning the socio-cultural aspects which govern human behaviour can be identified, described and clarified. The techniques used are archive search, observing the behaviour-environment and a questionnaire survey. As a results of the analytical process, specific issues which strongly related to the socio-cultural aspects of human behaviour in the outdoors were identified as important in determining the level of compatibility between the intended behaviours and their meanings and the physical setting of the recreational environment. In order to create a coherent built environment that responds positively to the intended functions expected by certain people, knowledge and understanding of their socio-cultural values and behaviours must be acquired and applied in the design process.

Full textAbstract:
Barn som samhällsgrupp tenderar att vara tämligen osynliga inom ramen för den fysiska planeringen. Därmed är syftet med denna studie att bidra med en ökad förståelse för hur barnperspektivet implementeras i den fysiska planeringen, men även undersöka hur förtätning påverkar barns utemiljöer, specifikt förskole- och skolgårdar. Detta eftersom det i täta stadsdelar föreligger en problematik gällande att allmänna ytor tas i anspråk för bebyggelse. Den empiri som ligger till grund för studien har samlats in genom kvalitativa intervjuer samt granskning av dokument, vilket sedan analyserats med hjälp av en tematisk analys. Genom den tematiska analysen har två huvudteman identifierats, integreringen av barnperspektivet i planprocessen och barns plats i den kompakta staden, som belyser det rådande klimatet i den kommunala fysiska planeringen utifrån de studerade fallen. Utifrån denna tematik, med stöd av tidigare forskning, har det kunnat påvisats att barnperspektivet inte implementeras i tillräckligt stor utsträckning. Detta eftersom det finns flertalet problematiska aspekter i arbetet med stadsutveckling, varav två är resursfrågan och intressekonflikter.To begin with children can be seen as a rather invisible group within the work of spatial planning. Thus, the aim of this thesis is to contribute with an increased understanding regarding how the child perspective is implemented in spatial planning, but also investigate how outdoor environments for children are affected by densification, specifically preschool yards, and schoolyards. Densified areas tend to be problematic regarding the fact that land often tends to be limited, which results in public areas being claimed for buildings. The empirical basis that the study consists of is a thematic analysis, which is based on qualitative interviews and reviews of documents. Two main themes have been identified through the thematic analysis, these are integration of child perspective and children’s place in the compact city. Furthermore, this illustrates the current climate regarding municipal spatial planning based on the cases that have been studied. The findings in this thesis show that the child perspective is not being implemented to a sufficient extent. Reasons for this are that there are problematic aspects, such as resources and conflicts of interests, these aspects need to be dealt with regarding the implementation of child perspective in spatial planning.

Architectural study of the cycling studium/ runway / Favorit Brno / on the open space in. The urban problem of the present area is the poor technical condition of the buildings, the inadequate function of the buildings. The aim of the proposal is to create a significant area of both professional and recreational sport. The main part of the work is devoted to the design of a new cycling stadium owned by TJ Favorit Brno. The hall should have sufficient capacity and facilities to hold international sporting events in cycling and athletics. At the same time it should be useful for smaller races and other events. Another requirement is that the stadium can provide enough facilities for the TJ Favorit Brno cycling club. The home base is currently a cycling stadium at the Brno Exhibition Grounds. This stadium is currently inadequate, serving only as a training course. It does not meet the conditions of the International Federation of UCI. The design of the variable space of the hall deserves a further attention at least, beacuse it will serve athletics or other sporting events. The cycling stadium is located in the northern part of the grounds. It places emphasis on the scattered surfaces in the immediate vicinity of the stadium, easy orientation and layout of entries from all sides of the object, separation of athletes from spectators. The main expression element of the exterior is a glazed facade wall, with a perforated sheet metal. Providing night lighting and putting visitors into action. The attractiveness of the whole area is enhanced by the newly designed park. A café and relaxation areas are also proposed. The total area will be separated from traffic. Two parking spaces with sufficient capacity for the whole area will be created at its edge. Transport within the premises will only be accessible for service and operation.

Full textAbstract:
Studies of outdoor recreation and the social construction of wilderness have shown how urban consumption of wilderness areas dispossessed rural residents from traditional land uses. Though essential for understanding power struggles over land use, these studies pay little attention to rural involvement in creating recreational areas. In contrast, this dissertation focuses on how rural non-indigenous people used, enjoyed and constructed their own recreational hinterland. Set in twentieth-century British Columbia, where wilderness adventure is popular and where mountains, oceans and lakes lend themselves to romantic and sublime aesthetics, the case studies here examine rural recreation by considering the forms that “rural” has taken in British Columbia, the relationship of civil society to government, conceptions of Crown and private land as a commons, the production and consumption of recreational spaces, and ethics such as woodcraft, “leave-no-trace,” the “good life” and postmaterialism.
The sources include interviews with participants in these activities and archival sources such as diaries, newspapers, government records on parks, forestry and transportation, and letters that citizens wrote to government. This material is set within the context of historical studies of outdoor recreation, the social construction of wilderness, automobiles and parks, the informal economy, and the contested commons.
The first two case studies involve the imaginative transformation of mountain landscapes into parks and playgrounds to attract tourists at Mt. Revelstoke and on Vancouver Island’s Forbidden Plateau. During the Second World War, the province was reluctant to create parks for local recreation, but at Darke Lake in the Okanagan, the Fish and Game Club lobbied successfully for a small park, challenging the supremacy of logging as an essential war industry. After the war, the state’s view of parks shifted. The provincial government promoted recreational democracy, and offered parks as part of the “good life” to working families from booming single-industry towns, sometimes responding to local demands as in the case of the Champion Lakes. Inspired by the American Wilderness Act of 1964, some British Columbians sought to preserve large tracts of roadless, forested land. The Purcell Wilderness Conservancy (1974) in the Kootenay region resulted from a local trail-building effort and a letter-writing campaign. Beginning in the late 1980s, retirees in Powell River started building trails on the edges of town. This group is still active in ensuring that their forested hinterland remains an accessible commons for recreational use.
The rural British Columbians discussed in these case studies consistently engaged with the backcountry as their recreational commons where they could combine work and leisure, harvest non-timber forest products, and promote tourism. Rural residents who were willing to volunteer and enjoyed some leisure time forged networks among tourism promoters and applied for government funding to create access to recreational space, and protect it from uses inconsistent with recreation, such as logging. British Columbians have claimed the right to access Crown land as a commons for recreation in a variety of ways over the twentieth century and these case studies show how rural agency has played a significant role in creating recreational space.

ABSTRACT The purpose of this study is to investigate the difficult and problem of the handicapped in Taiwan, who are engaged in the outdoor recreation activities start from their home, taking vehicle to the place they want to go. The study, include the examples of domestic and foreign cases and give some comments and analysis. Furthermore, we refer to Pei Tou No.9 park (Chen Hsing Park) as an experimental case. The method of study is mainly adopted in-depth interview and observation as first priority. Using the specific object (the handicapped) as an objective of interview, we can obtain everything of their processing form and the difficult they encounter when they engage in outdoor recreation activities in ordinary life. Besides, to assist the interview with the specialist who are studying barrier-free space aims at the established opinion of barrier-free facilities at present Taiwan area in order to help the continuous study and set up the reference of design criteria. To sum up the main result of this study is as follows : Principle 1. : to keep dry and a level walking space. Principle 2. : to be convenient for wheel to get in and out freely. Principle 3. : to design the topography and make it steady and smooth. Principle 4. : to devote to the clear and definite of moving line and make it short to Arrive. Principle 5. : to make clear and definite instruction and the sign of explanation. Principle 6. : Safe and protective measurements. Principle 7. : to lay emphasis on the secret space for personal diginity. Principle 8. : to have both the changeable and funny space. And arrange out the design of every recreation facilities for reference.

This thesis condenses open public space on an urban site in order to create an animated environment for public use. Maximizing use of an open lot in Sao Paulo, Brazil, an elevated concrete plate layers the site into a covered plaza below with sport and recreation program above. By lifting a programmable ground surface above street level, the project maintains the ground plane as an extension of the urban surroundings. The underside of the elevated plate becomes a horizontal elevation, or sixth façade, which is the new public interface of the project. Essentially a double-sided surface that is formally manipulated, the elevated structure both defines and unifies the two zones, mediating between them while creating different conditions and atmospheres, each with their own potential to invite public activity.

“Fencing” of schools was erected to demarcate, separate and protect. As times change, schools nowadays are embracing the idea of open design in campus planning and constructions: Increasingly, new campus is open for the public to use as parks. Old schools also follow suit and subsequently seek to integrate with the community and their surroundings by knocking down fencing walls or making changes to them. The question of communitification of schools has, over the past few years, generated a wide range of debates. Issues concerning transformative expansion, regulation and space management, which are currently confronted by schools, also represent the challenges of urban design and urban governance. As the activity facilities and categories of use on campus are as diverse as those of a small town, campus planning can be seen as a model example of urban design. To achieve sustainable development of schools, institutions with specific responsibilities must therefore be established, so as to construct a regulating mechanism for long term operation. The idea of dismantling the fencing walls around schools provide an initial research interest to begin the investigations of this research, which are conducted in the north district of Taichung City with regards to community residents and school administrations. By taking both aspects into consideration, the procedures of campus planning and urban design are compared and analysed. The concepts of urban design are to be employed in the discussions of campus planning prospects and mechanisms, as well as the dialogue between campus planning and environmental management. This research aims to provide a suitable framework for planning and regulation in order to examine the ways in which primary schools and the community neighbourhood they reside in may be brought closer to one another, thus enabling the schools to function as campus community, and ultimately realising the goals of common development and sustainable management for both schools and communities within the North District of Taichung City.

Taiwan has gradually moved toward an aging social structure with the progress of economic, health and medical improvement in the last decade. In 2018, Taiwan officially became an aged society when elderly over 65 years old accounted for 14.6% of the total population. Moreover, the age-old ratio is expected to rise to 20.1% in 2025, which will reach the threshold of a super-aged society. Therefore, the Ministry of Health and Welfare (MOHW) proposed "the Long-term care for the decade version 2.0 Program" (LTC 2.0) to promote the aging policy in 2017. Not only to provide more detailed services, it also established the comprehensive community care system to deepen the resources into various communities for the purpose of aging in place and active aging. The older population are not aware of the welfare policies and programs formulated by the government. Furthermore, previous studies have discussed the differences between urban and rural resources. It is an issue that rural elders might not perceive the benefit of LTC 2.0 policy. In addition, many studies have confirmed that the outdoor open space is helpful to physical and mental improvement. The rural outdoor environment is not only better than the urban but also represent the scenes and memories of many elderly people. Therefore, the outdoor environment might play a supporting role in the long-term policy. To conclude, the purposes of this study are as below: 1. To examine the current situation of the promotion of the long-term care policy to sub-healthy in Dahu Township, Miaoli County, and to compare the views and opinions of policy implementers, community representatives, community care workers and the general public. 2. Exploring whether rural outdoor open space contributes to the development of various aging strategies, and has the possibility and symbiotic benefits with the long-term policy. 3. Propose appropriate academic/practical recommendations and improvement strategies for problems and deficiencies. Based on the research question, the qualitative research method was selected. Through long-term participant observation in the field and content analysis of field materials, this study also plans to conduct in-depth interviews with various characters of the LTC 2.0 policy and outdoor environment in Dahu Township. This study expects to examine the advantages and weaknesses of two-tier C-LTC stations functions and services through in-depth field investigations, and understands whether there are better improvement strategies for rural elderly. In addition, the rural outdoor open space is not only the "hometown" where the elders live for many years but also a deeper cultural connotation with all the community members. This study also expects to answer the question that whether rural elderly sill have the attachment to local culture as times goes by. If the LTC 2.0 policy could integrate with local social attachment in the countryside, the rural elderly might be more active, feel more supportive and enjoy the natural environment more.
