This publication is available from: Chief Geotechnical Engineer/Planning Geotechnical Engineering Office Civil Engineering Department Civil Engineering Building 101 Princess Margaret Road Homantin， Kowloon Hong Kong 2 Foreword This report and associated 1:5 000-scale maps specifically relate to development areas in the vicinity of Tung Chung New Town and parts of proposed development areas for Northshore Lantau Island. The report forms part of the published results of a programme of systematic geological mapping of Hong Kong that began in 1982. It complements geological information contained in the Hong Kong Geological Survey Memoir No. 6 - Geology of Lantau District， and in two Hong Kong Geological Survey Sheet Reports (No. 2 - Geology of Chek Lap Kok， and No. 4 - Geology of North Lantau Island and Ma Wan). These reports have greatly enhanced our understanding of the stratigraphy， structure， and geological history of Hong Kong's rocks. At the same time， they have allowed a geological database， necessary for the continuing economic development of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region， to be established and developed. The mapping programme was undertaken by the Hong Kong Geological Survey， which is a section of the Planning Division of the Geotechnical Engineering Office， Civil Engineering Department. The section was led by Dr C.J.N. Fletcher and the Division was under the direction of Dr R.P. Martin during the mapping project reported here. The report was subsequently written and compiled by Dr R.J. Sewell and Mr P.A. Kirk， at which time the section was led by Dr S.D.G. Campbell and the Division was under the direction of Mr H.N. Wong. The 1:5 000-scale onshore geological survey of Tung Chung was conducted by Mr P.A. Kirk， who also managed a consultancy， on behalf of the Territory Development Department， and undertaken by members of the British Geological Survey， to study complex ground conditions at Tung Chung New Town. Some of the information from the consultant's study is incorporated in this report. Much helpful advice and review comments were also given by GEO colleagues， including Mr K.W. Lai and Dr X.C. Li. The Survey benefitted from the co-operation of many organizations and individuals. In particular， the co- operation of Mott Macdonald (Hong Kong) Ltd， Scott Wilson (Hong Kong) Ltd， the Airport Authority， Electronic and Geophysical Services Ltd， and Cosine Ltd.， is gratefully acknowledged. This report and the accompanying map sheets will be of interest and value to earth scientists， engineers， planners， developers and educators. R. K. S.

  • Press Release 14 July 2016 Common Archduke Has Established a Stable
    Press Release 14 July 2016 Common Archduke has Established a Stable Population on Lantau island Lantau Development Plan Unveiled at the End of the Year Concerns for Threats to Butterfly Habitats Butterfly surveys at Sha Lo Wan, San Shek Wan and Shum Wat Green Power previously expanded the butterfly survey to cover Sha Lo Wan, San Shek Wan and Shum Wat on Lantau; all are on the margin of Lantau North Country Park. From May to July, three surveys were carried out and a total of 84 butterfly species were recorded, including two very rare and eight rare butterfly species. There were also two important findings: Common Archduke (Lexias pardalis) and Common Banded Demon (Notocrypta paralysos), both of which were only found in Hong Kong recently and have yet to be classified for their rarity. The former species was recorded at all three sites in the present survey, with females, males and individuals of different generations. Over 20 individuals were recorded in the same period. Mr. Matthew Sin, Senior Environmental Affairs Manager of Green Power, remarked that this was an exciting discovery and it was likely that Common Archduke had established a stable population in the woods of Sha Lo Wan, San Shek Wan and Shum Wat. These might be the largest habitats for the species in Hong Kong. Matthew pointed out that Sha Lo Wan, San Shek Wan and Shum Wat are all lowland woods that are basically free from development and hence have their natural ecology well preserved. In addition, their links to Lantau North Country Park make a connected highland and lowland woodland habitat, nurturing the thriving butterfly populations.

In Tearly times people inhabited only a few islands. Among them the best-known are Cheung Chau and Tai O on Lantau Island; Mui Wo and Peng Chau are also important. Mr. Charles Mok, former CLP Organization Development Manager, and Mr. Cheng Ka Shing, former CLP Regional Manager, have been serving the people of the Islands District for many years. During the early years of the 1960s, Lord Lawrence Kadoorie initiated the expansion of the Rural Electrification Scheme to Lantau Island.

  • A Case Study of Hong Kong YWCA, Tai O YICK, Man Kin A
    Ecological Change and Organizational Legitimacy Repair: A Case Study of Hong Kong YWCA, Tai O YICK, Man Kin A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Philosophy in Sociology The Chinese University of Hong Kong August 2011 Abstract of thesis entitled: Ecological Change and Organizational Legitimacy Repair: A Case Study of Hong Kong YWCA, Tai O Submitted by YICK, Man Kin for the degree of Master of Philosophy at The Chinese University of Hong Kong in August 2011 ii Abstract This thesis studies how an organization maintained its legitimacy in response to the changing ecology. Through this study, the dynamics between state and social service sector in Hong Kong in the past two decades will be illuminated. This study draws on concepts from literature on organizational legitimacy, stakeholder analysis, and nonprofit studies. Through a qualitative case study, I attempt to illustrate how a social service organization (SSO), Hong Kong YWCA, differed in strategies of legitimacy repair after challenges from a Tai O rural consultative body, government departments, and other parts of the society in two time periods: the District Board election in 1988 and post-disaster relief during 2008-10 (the River Crab Saga). I aim to provide an explanation of more consistent, unified, and less complied response in the earlier case but less consistent, unified and more compliance with stakeholders' demands in the latter case - the high level of change in salience among YWCA stakeholders in the latter dispute. Two factors resulted in such a change: 1) the less stable funding environment due to Lump Sum Grant System, and 2) the intensified struggle between pro-Beijing and pro-democracy factions due to party penetration of society and rise of popular political awareness.

  • The Hong Kong Region: Its Place in Traditional Chinese Historiography and Principal Events Since the Establishment of Hsin-An County in 1573 James Hayes*
    THE HONG KONG REGION: ITS PLACE IN TRADITIONAL CHINESE HISTORIOGRAPHY AND PRINCIPAL EVENTS SINCE THE ESTABLISHMENT OF HSIN-AN COUNTY IN 1573 JAMES HAYES* Hsin-an is a coastal county .... The edge of a coat is called pien, edge or border. A coat always starts to get worn at the edge: an article begins to wear at the edge. In the same fashion, if an officer is posted to a border district, his responsibilities are ten or a hundred times as heavy as his colleague's in an interior district. It is therefore very difficult to understand people who belittle such government posts. These lines are taken from an inscribed tablet dated autumn 1847 commemorating the opening of the Lung-ching charitable school (i-hsueh) in the Kowloon walled city. They were from the brush of the then magistrate of Hsin-an, Wong Ming-ting, an officer who believed in the burden of his responsibilities. This article seeks to examine the historical background of the Hong Kong region as seen in Chinese traditional historiography,1 and to describe the main events of the local situation over the course of some three hundred years. A recapitulation of this kind may be useful, because Hong Kong's past is still inadequately recorded in English, (or yet in Chinese), and is too easily imagined, or glossed over, as being of no consequence. The region does possess a considerable and interesting history; though to gain the necessary perspective this has also to be seen in the context of the historiography of the neighbouring counties of this part of Kwang- tung.

  • Chapter 9 Complex Ground Beneath the Tung Chung Reclamation
    Chapter 9 Complex Ground Beneath the Tung Chung Reclamation Introduction This chapter describes the geology associated with complex ground conditions at the Tung Chung reclamation. These complex ground conditions were first encountered during preliminary ground investigations for the Tung Chung reclamation in 1991 and have had a significant impact there on the design and construction of deep foundations for infrastructure development. Much of the information presented here is taken from a report entitled “Geology of Tung Chung New Town" produced by the British Geological Survey (Gillespie et al.， 1998) under a Consultancy Agreement managed by the Geotechnical Engineering Office for the Territory Development Department. This detailed study was prompted by the need to establish a reliable geological model to assist further development in the area. The geological model developed for Tung Chung has emphasised how the combination of several distinct geological processes， of widely differing age， has led to the development of the complex ground conditions. Useful related information is included in papers by Kirk (2000)， Kirk et al. (2000)， and Fletcher et al. (2000). Background Prior to its recent development， marble was unknown in the Tung Chung area. The nearest sedimentary rocks had been mapped at The Brothers islands， and marble was proved in offshore boreholes nearby and at Tai O. These marble occurrences had both been correlated with the marble-bearing Carboniferous sequence in the Yuen Long area. Skarn had also been reported from San Shek Wan and Sha Lo Wan (Langford et al.， 1995). The solid geology in the vicinity of Tung Chung was known to be dominated by granitoid dykes (feldsparphyric rhyolite， quartzphyric rhyolite， and microgranite)， with some small intervening slivers of medium-grained granite (GEO， 1994).
