  • Public Open Space on the Transforming Urban Waterfronts of Bahrain – the Case of Manama City
    Public Open Space on the Transforming Urban Waterfronts of Bahrain – The Case of Manama City Fuad Al Ansari Ph.D. Thesis Public Open Space on the Transforming Urban Waterfronts of Bahrain – The Case of Manama City by Fuad Al Ansari Ph.D. Thesis September 2009 Newcastle University School of Architecture, Planning and Landscape Abstract Public open space on the urban waterfront is a unique part of the urban setting of many waterside cities. Since the 1960s, more of these spaces are being provided in an attempt to bring more people to waterside areas. While some cities have been successful in striking a balance between their economic needs and the public‘s demand for access to the water, others have failed. During this process, the urban waterfront has become synonymous with the idea of public open space. In Bahrain, since the late 1920s, ‗decline‘ has become the predominant character of the relationship between urban centres and the water. Hasty urban, demographic and economic growth alongside extensive land reclamation and privatization processes has progressively changed the nature of the waterfront. Until the mid 1990s this process took place without sufficient consideration for the cultural and social values of the waterfronts of the Islands. The new millennium saw an even faster depletion of those spaces, which triggered public outcry. Currently, open spaces providing formal or authorized access to the water represent 3 to 8% of the Islands‘ shoreline. In reflection of this situation, this research investigates the physical and social nature of the urban waterfront in Bahrain in the context of the current urban growth and land reclamation processes.

  • On the Bat Fauna of the Bahrain Archipelago (Chiroptera) K Fauně Netopýrů Souostroví Bahrajnského (Chiroptera)
    Lynx, n. s. (Praha), 50: 5–27 (2019). ISSN 0024-7774 (print), 1804-6460 (online) On the bat fauna of the Bahrain Archipelago (Chiroptera) K fauně netopýrů Souostroví bahrajnského (Chiroptera) Petr BENDA1,2 & Marcel UHRIN3 1 Department of Zoology, National Museum (Natural History), Václavské nám. 68, CZ–115 79 Praha 1, Czech Republic; [email protected] 2 Department of Zoology, Faculty of Science, Charles University in Prague, Viničná 7, CZ–128 44 Praha 2, Czech Republic 3 Department of Zoology, Institute of Biology and Ecology, P. J. Šafárik University, Moyzesova 11, SK–040 01 Košice, Slovakia received on 12 December 2019 Abstract. Only thirteen records of four bat species belonging to three families have been known from the Bahrain Archipelago until now, Asellia tridens, Taphozous nudiventris, Pipistrellus kuhlii, and Vansonia rueppellii. Here the results of a short-time systematic survey of bats in Bahrain are presented. During an acoustic survey (15 bat detector sessions, ca. 190 km of car transects, ca. 17 hours of recordings in total), 456 bat call sequences were recorded that contained 12,051 particular bat call pulses. A majority of the recorded calls was represented by the calls of Pipistrellus kuhlii (96.1%), followed by Rhyneptesicus na­ sutus (3.5%), Otonycteris hemprichii (0.06%), and Taphozous nudiventris (0.01%). Combining the new and published data, 63 records (species / site) of five bat species are currently available from the King- dom of Bahrain. While the occurrence of two species was confirmed (Taphozous nudiventris – 3 records, Pipistrellus kuhlii – 46 records), two species were discovered newly in Bahrain (Otonycteris hemprichii – 1 record, Rhyneptesicus nasutus – 8 records), one species was not recorded by the recent survey although certainly present (Asellia tridens – 5 records), and one species was suggested to be deleted from the faunal list of the country (Vansonia rueppellii).
