Abstract:
Methods of geoinformation analysis and geomodelling are used for the implementation of urban zoning. Recreational land use is a complex spatial system. The main task of recreational areas is to restore the strength and health of the population. Recreational areas consist of climatic, engineering and technical elements. Currently, creative and adaptive recreation is developing. These types of recreation fill the deficit of traditional recreational areas. The decrease in recreational areas is due to the construction of buildings. Recreational areas lose their natural properties. The financing of recreational infrastructure is reduced. In the article the geoinformation analysis of recreational provision of the city of Novosibirsk is executed. An original method of constructing a network of evaluation blocks is proposed. The analysis of the spatial location of residential and transport infrastructure. Information on the population and area of recreational facilities was used to calculate the recreational provision. As a result of geoinformation analysis it was found that 26% of the city residents are provided with recreational areas. 73% of residents do not have recreational facilities near the house.

Abstract:
The objective of this research was to study the difference of gender in the recreational activities of Thai people in the retirement age. The key variables of this study were payment for the activities, supporting factors, satisfaction in recreation, and benefits in recreational activities. The 394 respondents who joined the Ma-Kham-Wan game in Phetchabun province in 2019 were the sample of this research. The study used the convenience sampling method to collect the questionnaire from them. For the statistical analysis, the researchers employed descriptive statistics and t-test for the data analysis. The research results revealed that (1) the majority of the respondents were Female at 268 persons equal to 68 percent, approximately 80 percent was 61-70 years old, around 60 percent was Bachelor Degree, 55 percent had owned house, about 50 percent of the retired respondents had income between 450 – 750 USD per month and approximately 70 percent of the respondents paid for the recreational activities between 150 – 450 USD per time, (2) the payment for recreational activities was not significantly different between the retired female and male, (3) the financial supporting from their family had statistically significant difference between the retired female and male, but the other supporting variables like traveling and advisory supports were not significantly different between the female and male respondents, (4) the satisfaction factors both physical and psychological satisfactions had a significantly difference between the retired female and male, (5) the perception of the benefit in recreational activities between the female and male was different in the aspect of quality of life, it found that the retired female accepted this point higher than the male, and (6) the physical and stress-reduced benefits from recreational activities were not different between the female and male. The study suggests that the policymakers should promote the recreational activities for the retired Thais around the country both retired females and males. This will help to support the retirement people to have a better life quality and be healthy both physical and psychological aspects. Also, the family of retirement people should focus on their interest and satisfaction in the recreation for a healthy life and support them on benefits from recreational activities.

Abstract:
This study investigates the visitors’ satisfaction at the most popular urban recreational area, Kepong Metropolitan Park, Selangor. It presents the analysis and synthesis of information collected from an open-ended survey. Selected visitors were asked to state their opinions regarding overall scene and the answers were summarized and categorized in terms of several dimensions. As a result, the researcher found that the visitors expressed several comments and suggestions that could be used as push and pull factors in determining their satisfaction in the recreational area. These two dimensional phenomenons are very useful as reference to researchers or designers to identify and fulfill the visitors’ satisfaction for future preparation of recreational area. © 2016 The Authors.

Abstract:
The article discusses densification of fully urbanised territories, which causes deterioration of living conditions for tenants of neighbouring houses (third parties) due to the negative impact of construction on local environment. Specifically, detection of fundamental right violations during territorial planning is in focus, because not only third parties but also future tenants of the house being constructed suffer loss of healthy and harmonious work and recreational environment as a direct result of such violations. A classifier of fundamental right violations during territorial planning was developed for that purpose. The judicial practice was analysed; persons authorised to contest environmental violations under the Law on Administrative Proceedings (hereinafter LAP) and the scope of their authorisation were determined.

Abstract:
Haunted attractions are illustrative examples of recreational fear in which people voluntarily seek out frightening experiences in pursuit of enjoyment. We present findings from a field study at a haunted-house attraction where visitors between the ages of 12 and 57 years ( N = 110) were equipped with heart rate monitors, video-recorded at peak scare points during the attraction, and asked to report on their experience. Our results show that enjoyment has an inverted-U-shaped relationship with fear across repeated self-reported measures. Moreover, results from physiological data demonstrate that the experience of being frightened is a linear function of large-scale heart rate fluctuations, whereas there is an inverted-U-shaped relationship between participant enjoyment and small-scale heart rate fluctuations. These results suggest that enjoyment is related to forms of arousal dynamics that are “just right.” These findings shed light on how fear and enjoyment can coexist in recreational horror.

Abstract:
Resort hotels are usually built in tourist areas such as mountains, beaches, and lakes. The problem in this design is that contoured land becomes more difficult in designing compared to flat land. But how to create an advantage on the contoured land, and how to create a design and building in accordance with the title raised and the purpose of that is to support the existence of functions building according to the project case. The purpose of designing this Resort Hotel is to increase the number of foreign and local tourists who come to North Sumatra especially to the Lake Toba area and provide temporary shelter and recreational activities for the community and tourists who come. The method used is to apply the local wisdom of the Karo tribe. The shape of the roof at the Karo traditional house is applied to the hotel which has been designed and the use of ornaments as facades on building looks to apply the neo-vernacular architectural theme. The results of the design of Resort Hotels to attract tourists to visit this Hotel and the Hotel also aims to preserve the local wisdom of Karo tribes. "Hotel Resort Kodon" is present as a place or recreational facility that can meet the needs of tourists where the Lake Toba area requires many new lodging and recreation areas.

As swedes are keen on outdoor recreation and like to spend on travels and gear for forest recreation we want to show if there is a willingness to pay for forest recreation close to home. Starting in hedonic regression we create a model using publicly available data to show how consumer preferences effect house prices. Results show that distance to forest have a small but significant impact on house prices. To conclude we state that a logarithmic model using open source data can be useful in city planning and that there is a positive effect of nearby forests on house prices.

Full text
Abstract:
One seemingly lost aspect of working-class life in antebellum New Orleans stems from the effort of entrepreneurs to provide bathing and swimming facilities for the city's working poor. In exchange for a relatively inexpensive fee per use, working-class New Orleanians served as the customer base for “floating pools” moored along the Mississippi riverfront. Beginning in 1836, these pools represented a transitional phase between the long extant tradition of bathing and swimming for free in the river and the development of commercialized, waterfront pleasure resorts for the masses in the late 1800s. Close proximity of working class neighborhoods to the river allowed New Orleans entrepreneurs to capitalize on restrictions city official began to place on bathing in the river. The floating pools represented an early stage in the commercialization of recreation as well as public hygiene.

Abstract:
This chapter follows the work of Mary Simkhovitch, a key figure in settlement houses in New York, but also a major proponent of the notion of municipalisation, a concept developed in Germany that advocated the transferal to city ownership of previously private, corporate assets. Simkhovitch was part of a group of Americans who were strongly influenced by ideas regarding social welfare that developed in Germany at the end of the 19th Century. She sought to implement these ideas in New York by establishing the Greenwich House settlement and then serving as its headworker for 44 years. During this period, she engaged in efforts to regulate industries through the National Consumers League, spearheaded tenement reform and the creation of public housing in New York, and played a key role in efforts to expand green spaces and recreational opportunities for children, adolescents, and adults in the city.

Full text
Abstract:
Fragments imply a former whole, and ruins invoke a material landscape once cared for and conserved, now neglected. What meaning is conveyed when fragments of formerly whole structures—ruined or plundered as ‘relics’—are incorporated into new ones, devoid of prior context? Does an aesthetic appreciation for in situ ruins also relate to interest in their fragments? This tradition of, and fascination with, reusing and recontextualizing fragments of ruined structures spans the broad sweep of time from antiquity to the present day (see also Shanahan and Shanahan, Chapter 5). Rome’s Arch of Constantine (erected 315 CE) incorporated fragments from the arches of Hadrian and Marcus Aurelius, visually and materially connecting their collective glory to the new reign. Such reuse is found plentifully in indirect gestures, such as the Beaux-Arts municipal buildings of the United States that draw stylistic influences from classical antiquity, as reimagined in the Italian Renaissance and incorporated into the nineteenth-century architectural canon. Still other examples of direct reuse of fragments, such as architectural fragments from New York’s World Trade Center that have been incorporated into myriad 9/11 monuments, are often a way to commemorate the tragic circumstances that created such ruins, reminding us how the materiality of age, added by narrative and even literal labels, provides a space for nostalgic reminiscence or communion with an event that might be personally distant, though emotionally compelling just the same (see White and Seidenberg, Chapter 1, for discussion of a similar phenomenon in Berlin). Inspired by the increasing impact of contemporary archaeology on considerations of materiality, temporality, and erasure within archaeologically produced ‘present pasts’ (see Harrison et al. 2014), this essay focuses on two cases of creative reuse of fragmentary architectural and building materials in Chicago, one still extant, and the other no longer even a ruin. The first case, once made of ‘ruins’, has been demolished and, more significantly, erased: the Relic House, built in 1872 from ‘leavings’ of the 1871 Chicago Fire. Serving as a saloon, salon, and speakeasy until its demolition in 1929, the Relic House drew guests who wished to commune with the ‘ruins’ of the tragic fire in a space mediated by recreational consumption and novelty. One of these uses included a venue for the bohemian Dill Pickle Club, whose founder renamed the structure the ‘House of Blazes’, evoking its fabrication from Fire debris.

Full text
Abstract:
Bovine meat and milk play a major role in the diet of humans and they have positive impact on global food security. The aim of this review work was to investigate the impact of bovine sources of meat and milk on food security in the low, medium and high income countries. Bovine source meat and milk could have impact on the nutritional, health, work, income, educational and recreational needs of humans. However, the feeding needs of bovine are mainly met with forage materials which do not compete with human foods. The beef and dairy cattle are raised mainly under the extensive system of production in the low and medium income countries, while the intensive system of production is that which is adopted majorly in the high income developed nations. The production of healthy beef and milk products may be observed to go a long way in preventing disease occurrence in both the cattle and the human consumers. The raising of fewer numbers of more genetically productive breeds of cattle under the intensive, semi-intensive and extensive systems of production could also have positive impact on global food security, sustainability and the mitigation of green house gas (GHG) emissions.

Abstract:
The German invasion of Belgium in August-October 1914 led to the flight of more than 1.5 million Belgian civilians. The vast majority sought asylum in the Netherlands, France and Britain. In total, more than 600,000 Belgians – some 10 percent of the Belgian population at the time – settled abroad during the First World War. In France, they received financial support throughout the war, enabling the poorest refugees to avoid utter destitution. In Britain, committees sprang up to help resettle refugee families. In the Netherlands, where large camps were set up to house refugees, support for the refugees remained more limited. The war saw a gradual dwindling of the support offered to refugees. Many had no other choice but to find a job. In France, thousands were put to work in factories and farms. In Britain, 30,000 Belgian refugees, nearly one-quarter of them women, played an important role in the manufacture of munitions. Most refugees kept to themselves. Recreational activities strengthened the bonds to their homeland. Anxious to prevent them from permanently settling in their host countries, the Belgian authorities in exile promoted a strong sense of national identity among the refugees. By mid-1919, most Belgian refugees had returned home.

Abstract:
This chapter shows how the social history of the book was closely linked to other practices—to ideas about sociability, conventions of visiting, use of leisure time, nature of domestic spaces, value of conversation. By the end of the eighteenth century there were plenty of newly available places in which to spend leisure time and money in company, including pleasure gardens, coffeehouses, museums, and concerts. Although many people took full advantage of these innovations in external leisure activity, the home remained an essential place of recreation for men and women of property. People supped, dined, played cards, read, gossiped, argued, and performed music together in their homes throughout the eighteenth century. The choice of books on display within a house—whether being read or in sight on table or shelves—was also significant. In larger houses, it had an added significance because of the eighteenth-century shift towards the use of the library as a general living space.

Abstract:
Chapter eight presents a case study of music in daily life based on the manuscript autobiography of Johann Christian Müller from Stralsund. Müller grew up playing the keyboard recreationally and it became a focal point of his social life while he was studying at the university in Jena. He used his abilities at the keyboard to cultivate and maintain relationships with his friends, landlords, patrons, and other acquaintances. Music making also featured prominently in his later years as a house tutor in Eixen, where he cultivated an intimate relationship with Lotchen von Lillieström, one of the daughters of the aristocratic family he served. The keyboard lessons he offered became the primary basis for their spending time together and led to considerable controversy within the household and beyond.

Abstract:
This chapter provides a background to an adventure that began with the author's love of the waterfront and her singular passion to build a floating pool and donate it to the city for use by recreationally underserved New Yorkers. It traces the author's discovery of the Progressive Era's nineteenth-century floating baths and her first nearly adversarial meeting with a community board to securing a barge to contain the pool. It also discusses the financing of the floating project, including its design and refitting of the vessel. The chapter reviews the story of the decline of and attempts to revitalize the New York and New Jersey waterfronts in the 1980s and 1990s. It cites the periodic rises in the real estate market and oil spill that had a direct negative impact on locating a barge to house the floating pool.

Abstract:
Pipeline integrity has been threatened at the Dead Horse Creek pipeline crossing in southern Manitoba by a slow-moving slope failure with a potential for crest retrogression. The movement zone extends from the slope crest to the bottom of the creek, a vertical distance of about 25 m and is approximately 80 m long from toe to scarp and 100 m wide along the creek. The slope has degraded over time and is controlled by the combination of local geology, which consists of weak colluvium overlying high plastic clay shale, and creek bank erosion and channel degradation. Saturated soil conditions, a function of poor drainage and elevated seasonal precipitation, have exacerbated the problem over the years. The slope movements have been monitored on a regular basis since 2008 and presented an increasing risk to the integrity of multiple pipelines located in two rights-of-way (ROWs) situated within and immediately adjacent to the failing soil mass. The site is surrounded by various infrastructure and recreational areas that are key to the community, and therefore is considered a high consequence area with respect to potential pipeline failures. To manage the risk and protect pipeline integrity, various stress relief and other mitigating measures have been implemented since 2013 [1], culminating in a major slope rehabilitation project undertaken in 2015, which comprised earthworks, drainage and watercourse improvements, and slope stabilization using stone columns. While the use of stone columns to stabilize embankments is not a new technique, it is not commonly used in the pipeline industry and represents another option for geohazard stabilization in the right situations. This paper presents the slope stabilization techniques employed and discusses the challenges of working on an active moving slope confined by a watercourse and live pipeline assets. The positive benefits of the stabilization measures are illustrated through the use of 2D and 3D numerical modelling, and confirmed through an ongoing geohazard management program that includes site inspection and instrumentation monitoring which continues to show improvements in slope performance post construction.

Abstract:
At the end of the XVI century, the historic centre of San Cristóbal de La Laguna was definitively configured as we know it today, as can be seen in the first preserved map of the city, drawn in 1588 by the engineer Leonardo Torriani. It is the first non-fortified Spanish colonial city and its plan has provided a model for the colonial cities of America, making it a UNESCO World Heritage site. The dissemination of this legacy is a task of great importance. A tool of increasing importance for the dissemination and preservation of history and cultural heritage are reconstructions and virtual recreations in 3D. This paper presents a case of the use of these tools for the dissemination of the city's heritage. The 3D modelling of one of the most characteristic types of housing in San Cristóbal de La Laguna in the 16th century is carried out along with the 3D modelling of human virtual characters all based on the historical documentation of that time. With these elements a WebGL application has been implemented in which a user can visit the virtually reconstructed house and receive information on the construction systems and architecture in the city on the XVI century.

Abstract:
The use of spatialization techniques in data sonification provides system designers with an additional tool for conveying information to users. Oftentimes, spatialized data sets are meant to be experienced by a single or few users at a time. Projects at Rensselaer's Collaborative-Research Augmented Immersive Virtual Environment Laboratory allow even large groups of collaborators to work within a shared virtual environment system. The lab provides an equal emphasis on the visual and audio system, with a nearly 360 degree panoramic display and 128-loudspeaker array housed behind the acoustically-transparent screen. The space allows for dynamic switching between immersions in recreations of physical scenes and presentations of abstract or symbolic data. Content creation for the space is not a complex process - the entire display is essentially a single desktop and straight-forward tools such as the Virtual Microphone Control allow for dynamic real-time spatialization. With the ability to target individual channels in the array, audio-visual congruency is achieved. The loudspeaker array creates a high-spatial density soundfield within which users are able to freely explore due to the virtual elimination of a so-called “sweet-spot.”

Abstract:
This paper reacts to the recent trend in tourism in the form of agritourism. This branch of rural tourism has been increasing in the last decade and is becoming more attractive in the connotation to the growth of the urban population rate. Urban citizens of towns gradually seek out places close to nature for their recreation and relaxation. The presence of urban visitors and their sojourn in rural areas generate for farmers resp. entrepreneurs offering agritourism services an additional income and represent a diversification of their business. So, there is no doubt about the positive benefits of agritourism for both supply and demand. This paper, therefore, aims to observe and analyse the agritourism supply, and after data synthesis to describe the actual implementation of this form of tourism. The South Moravian Region was chosen as a research area. The goal was achieved by own data database of 23 surveyed objects, which were the only ones that fulfilled the criteria set on the background of the literature search. The object had to offer accommodation, provide relevant information on its own website and during the visit, there should be an interaction between the visitor and the domestic animals (e.g. in the form of a mini-zoo, observation, etc.). The results confirmed that, despite considerable diversity (e.g. in terms of capacity indicators, so the number of beds or rooms), agritourism serves as a cheaper alternative to vacation and provides some typical activities, such as horse riding.

Abstract:
About 2 billion people of the world, mostly in rural areas of the developing countries, do not have access to grid-based electricity. The most critical factor affecting their livelihoods is access to clean, affordable and reliable energy services for household and productive uses. Under this backdrop, renewable and readily available energy from the nature can be incorporated in several proven renewable energy technology (RET) systems and can play a significant role in meeting crucial energy needs in these remote far flung areas. RETs are ideal as distributed energy source and they can be incorporated in packages of energy services and thus offer unique opportunities to provide improved lighting, health care, drinking water, education, communication, and irrigation. Energy is also vital for most of the income-generating activities, both at the household or commercial levels. Access to energy is strongly connected to the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), which set targets for poverty reduction, improved health, and gender equality as well as environmental sustainability. Environmentally benign renewable energy systems can contribute significantly in the above-mentioned unserved or underserved areas in the developing countries to achieve both local and global environmental benefits. This is important in the context of sustainable development in: (i) poverty alleviation, (ii) education, (iii) gender equity and empowerment, (iv) health including other benefits like improved information access through Information and Communication Technology (ICT) centers, (v) better security, and (vi) increase in social or recreational opportunities. It is evident that proliferation of renewable energy resources through implementing their applications for meeting energy demand will promote all the three dimensions namely, social, economic and environmental of sustainable development in the developing countries. Several small scale enabling RET systems have been suggested in this paper in the light of above-mentioned issues of energy sustainability and they can significantly contribute to the improvement of the livelihood of the remote impoverished rural communities of the developing countries. With the current state of technology development, several RET systems (such as wind, solar photovoltaics, solar thermal, biomass and microhydro) have become successful in different parts of the world. In this paper, an exhaustive literature survey has been conducted and several successful and financially viable small-scale RET systems were analyzed. These systems have relevance to the economies of the developing countries that can be utilized for electrification of domestic houses, micro enterprises, health clinics, educational establishments and rural development centers.
