  • On the Diversity of Urban Waterscape J
    Proceedings of the Acoustics 2012 Nantes Conference 23-27 April 2012, Nantes, France On the diversity of urban waterscape J. Kang University of Sheffield, School of Architecture, S10 2TN Sheffield, UK j.kang@sheffield.ac.uk 3533 23-27 April 2012, Nantes, France Proceedings of the Acoustics 2012 Nantes Conference In the last several hundred years the development of Sheffield has been shaped by waterways. In the recent city centre regeneration, starting in the 1990s, great efforts have been made to ensure that the reconnection with the rivers continues to be fostered and their role in the history of the city celebrated. Waterscapes and squares have been embedded into the city for its vibrancy with the respect of the history of Sheffield. This paper examines the soundscape with waterscape along the Gold Route formed in the city centre regeneration project. The changes of waterscape sound levels with frequency and time at different locations of the Gold Route are analysed. Comparisons have also been made between different water features along the Gold Route in terms of psychoacoustic parameters including loudness, roughness, sharpness, and fluctuation strength. A series of field questionnaire surveys in selected locations along the Gold Route have shown that water sounds are the most preferred sounds in the soundscape. 1 Introduction The city’s first settlement developed at the confluence of the Rivers Don and Sheaf, around the 12th century. With the role as a market town at this time, Sheffield had continued to be shaped by waterways. Sheffield’s access to abundant natural resources made it an ideal centre for iron and steel industry, and the rivers contributed considerably to the production and industry of the city development.

Apart from a few dozen houses across the River Dun at Bridgehouses and in the Wicker, and a similar number at Parkhill, the whole of the built-up area was within a 600 yard radius centred on the Old Church.1 Within that brief radius the most northerly development was that at Bower Lane (Gibraltar), and only a limited incursion had been made hitherto into Colson Crofts (the fields between West Bar and the river). On the western and north-western edges there had been development along Hollis Croft and White Croft, and to a lesser degree along Pea Croft and Lambert Knoll (Scotland). To the south-west the building on the western side of Coalpit Lane was over the boundary in Ecclesall, but still a recognisable part of the town.2 To the south the gardens and any buildings were largely confined by the Park wall which kept Alsop Fields free of dwellings except for the ingress along the northern part of Pond Lane. The Rivers Dun and Sheaf formed a natural barrier on the east and north-east, and the low-lying Ponds area to the south-east was not ideal for house construction.

  • An Analysis of Group Behaviour and Commenting on Flickr
    An Analysis of Group Behaviour and Commenting on Flickr A study submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Librarianship at THE UNIVERSITY OF SHEFFIELD by Megan Amy Swart September 2008 I Acknowledgements A huge thank you to everyone who supported me through the conduction of this research: specifically, to my tutor Dr Paul Clough for his encouragement, advice and enthusiasm, and to Ambrose, my family and friends – because of whom this summer of writing was much more bearable! Finally, a special thanks to all at the Sheffield Flickr group, I could not have done this without you. II Abstract Background The literature conducted previously on Flickr has emphasised the importance of collaborative tagging, however it has also highlighted an information gap focussing on other popular areas of usage on Flickr such as that of group dynamics and commenting behaviour. Aims This research is an exploratory study of the commenting behaviour within the Sheffield group on Flickr. The aim is to investigate the different types of comments; specifically positive and negative comments that users leave on each others images and to examine the impact of using Flickr groups and such commenting on the photographic practice of the group members. Methods This research employs a mixed-methodology, including a content analysis of 2 sets comments from 100 randomly selected photographs added to the Sheffield group on Flickr. An online questionnaire was also formulated and proposed to the group, of which a response rate of 26 different members was received. In addition, the Flickr API was used to collate data about the individual members of the group including the number of groups joined and the number of contacts they have.

  • Sheffield Cathedral: Chapel Lighting (1 of 2 Projects Funded) Awarded £65,077 in March 2015
    Sheffield Cathedral: Chapel Lighting (1 of 2 projects funded) Awarded £65,077 in March 2015 The need The lighting and wiring in two chapels, the All Saints Chapel and the Chapel of the Holy Spirit (crypt chapel) had become unreliable, making them difficult to use for services and occasionally dangerous for visitors to enter. Components could no longer be obtained for the existing systems, which were in urgent need of attention: many fittings had failed through overheating or through faulty wiring. The crypt chapel was created in the 1930s as a First World War memorial, and the Dean observed It is quite distressing at times that elderly mourners feel anxious about entering the chapel because it is so poorly lit. Outcomes Now the lighting requires routine maintenance only. The All Saints Chapel is now a fitting memorial to those interred there from the York and Lancaster Regiment. Economic and social impact A local electrical contractor was used for the work. The spaces are once again safe and open, and can reliably be used for interment services. They are also being Lack of lighting in the crypt chapel before the work. regularly used by staff and clients from the Archer Photo credit: Thomas Ford Architects. Project, a provision within the cathedral complex for the homeless and vulnerable, for their weekly prayers. The Chapel of the Holy Spirit is regularly used by the Sheffield Church Burgesses Trust for their prayer meetings and in May 2016 was the setting for the observance of the 10 Days of Prayer. Works completed CASS Electrical were instructed to undertake the work.
