The Salon nationals are the most skillful persons in diving. It is learnt in ancient time even the newly child was thrown into the sea. In ancient time the Salon nationals used not to wear shirts but only wore longyis. At present, with the development of the modern era and with the encouragement and directions of the State Government the Salon nationals has developed in knowledge and view and has begun to wear the full national dress. Since ancient time a Salon male has the right to marry more than one woman. The wealthy people used to practice the polygamy custom more though marriage is conducted by the consent of parents, they have the right divorce. The marriage conduct has controlled marriage to reduce divorce and commitment of his conduct.

  • A Geographic Analysis on Distribution Pattern of Parks and Gardens in Yangon City
    Dagon University Research Journal 2011, Vol. 3 A Geographic Analysis on Distribution Pattern of Parks and Gardens in Yangon City Zaw Latt Tun* Abstract Recreation is an essential need for human beings. At present, due to the rapid advance in technology, a number of electronic devices for indoor recreation have widely been used in several places, especially in urban areas. However, outdoor recreation is also important for physical and mental relaxation for the sake of less expense of money as well as for healthy lifestyles. Moreover, it is the most appropriate type of recreation for all lifestyles, whether male or female, young or adult, rich or poor, single or married and so on. Therefore, this study attempts to highlight the existing distribution pattern of some outdoor recreation sites, particularly parks and gardens of Yangon City from geographical point of view. Introduction ‘Recreation’ means any activity done for pleasure in leisure time without expensing any money. The choice of recreation depends on individual interest, ability, one's income. This means that some hobbies e.g. golf, have a limited range of socio-economic classes involved. Personal choice is influenced by a range of factors including age and gender, education and interests, socio-economic group, occupation and status, family and stage in the life cycle, time available, distances involved transport available and facilities needed (Ganderton, 2000). At present due to the rapid advance of technology, a number of electronic devices for indoor recreation overwhelm in several places especially in urban areas. Modern recreation facilities may temporarily remove the mental stress caused by monotonous daily routine, transport difficulties, noise pollution etc., but these facilities may, in the end, cause both physical and mental defect, unless there is insufficient fresh air, green cover and open space for exercise.

  • Co-Creation Workshop
    CO-CREATION WORKSHOP IN YANGON Hosted by WOMEN FOR THE WORLD (WfW) With the support of COMMUNITY ARCHITECTS NETWORK (CAN) 9th-13th NOVEMBER, 2019 – BRIEF – 1. Overview of Yangon and Urban Development Trends Yangon is the largest city and commercial and industrial hub of Myanmar and the metropolis of Yangon Region. Formerly known as Rangoon, the city served as the administrative capital of the country before 2006, when the government moved the capital to newly-built Naypyidaw. Measured at 10,000 km2, Yangon Region is bordered by the Andaman Sea to the south, the Bago Region to the north and east, and the Ayeyarwady Region to the west, and, besides Yangon city, is predominantly rural. This geographical location, as well as the effects of climate change, expose the region to various natural hazards, like droughts, floods, earthquakes, cyclones and fires. In administrative terms, Yangon Region is divided into 45 townships, 33 of which comprise Yangon City and are divided into smaller units: 630 urban wards and 54 tracts. With a population of 7.3 million, it is the most densely inhabited region in the country. Most of this population is concentrated in Yangon City though, making up an average density of 5,363 inhabitants per km2 and an urban population of 5,2 million, which is expected to double by 2040. Yangon is also the most diverse hub in the country, being home to multiple ethnic and religious groups alongside the Bamar Buddhist majority; including Indian, Chinese, Karen and Rakhine people, and Muslim, Hindu, Christian and Jewish communities. This diversity can be attributed to the long-standing internal and external migration waves towards Yangon and, although it was largely suppressed during the period of military rule, its display in the life of the city has been increasing again.
