    The Globalization of Chinese Food ANTHROPOLOGY of ASIA SERIES Series Editor: Grant Evans, University Ofhong Kong

    The Globalization of Chinese Food ANTHROPOLOGY OF ASIA SERIES Series Editor: Grant Evans, University ofHong Kong Asia today is one ofthe most dynamic regions ofthe world. The previously predominant image of 'timeless peasants' has given way to the image of fast-paced business people, mass consumerism and high-rise urban conglomerations. Yet much discourse remains entrenched in the polarities of 'East vs. West', 'Tradition vs. Change'. This series hopes to provide a forum for anthropological studies which break with such polarities. It will publish titles dealing with cosmopolitanism, cultural identity, representa­ tions, arts and performance. The complexities of urban Asia, its elites, its political rituals, and its families will also be explored.

    Chapter 5 Provision of Aquatic Recreational and Sports Facilities

    Chapter 5 Provision of aquatic recreational and sports facilities Audit conducted a review to examine the provision and management of aquatic recreational and sports facilities by the Leisure and Cultural Services Department (LCSD) and to ascertain whether there were areas for improvement. Gazetted beaches 2. According to paragraph 2.4(a) of the Audit Report, a consultant, who carried out a coastal safety audit on the beaches of Hong Kong in 2000, had advised that the Rocky Bay Beach should be deleted from the list of gazetted beaches because of safety reason and low usage. However, the LCSD considered that de-gazetting beaches was a sensitive issue and decided not to take further action. The Committee asked about the sensitivity of the de-gazetting and whether the LCSD would de-gazette the beach. 3. In response, Ms Anissa WONG Sean-yee, Director of Leisure and Cultural Services, said that: - in deciding to close the Rocky Bay Beach because of its poor water quality, the Administration had considered whether the beach should be de-gazetted. At that time, the Administration was of the view that it should consider the development of the beach water quality. It was also concerned that the relevant District Council and beach goers might consider that they might need to observe the development of the issue for a period of time; and - taking into account the current situation of the water quality, the usage of the beach, as well as other factors, such as the usage rate of the Shek O Beach, the LCSD agreed in principle to Audit’s recommendation that the Rocky Bay Beach be de-gazetted.
