  • T and Analysis of Walkability in Hong Kong
    Measurement and Analysis of Walkability in Hong Kong By: Michael Audi, Kathryn Byorkman, Alison Couture, Suzanne Najem ZRH006 Measurement and Analysis of Walkability in Hong Kong An Interactive Qualifying Project Report Submitted to the faculty of the Worcester Polytechnic Institute In partial fulfillment of the requirements for Degree of Bachelor of Science In cooperation with Designing Kong Hong, Ltd. and The Harbour Business Forum On March 4, 2010 Submitted by: Submitted to: Michael Audi Paul Zimmerman Kathryn Byorkman Margaret Brooke Alison Couture Dr. Sujata Govada Suzanne Najem Roger Nissim Professor Robert Kinicki Professor Zhikun Hou ii | P a g e Abstract Though Hong Kong’s Victoria Harbour is world-renowned, the harbor front districts are far from walkable. The WPI team surveyed 16 waterfront districts, four in-depth, assessing their walkability using a tool created by the research team and conducted preference surveys to understand the perceptions of Hong Kong pedestrians. Because pedestrians value the shortest, safest, least-crowded, and easiest to navigate routes, this study found that confusing routes, unsafe or indirect connections, and a lack of amenities detract from the walkability in Hong Kong. This report provides new data concerning the walkability in harbor front districts and a tool to measure it, along with recommendations for potential improvements. iii | P a g e Acknowledgements Our team would like to thank the many people that helped us over the course of this project. First, we would like to thank our sponsors Paul Zimmerman, Dr. Sujata Govada, Margaret Brooke, and Roger Nissim for their help and dedication throughout our project and for providing all of the resources and contacts that we required.

    Islands District Council Paper No. IDC 28/2015 Draft Po Toi Islands Outline Zoning Plan No. S/I-PTI/1 1. Purpose The purpose of this paper is to seek Member’ views on the draft Po Toi Islands Outline Zoning Plan (OZP) No. S/I-PTI/1 together with its Notes and Explanatory Statement (ES) (Annexes I to III). 2. Background 2.1 Pursuant to section 20(5) of the Town Planning Ordinance (the Ordinance), the Po Toi Islands Development Permission Area (DPA) Plan is effective only for a period of 3 years until 2 March 2015.

  • Chapter 5: Getting Around Hong Kong
    Chapter 5: Getting Around Hong Kong The Road Crossing Code It is safer to cross the road using footbridges, subways, “Zebra” crossings or “Green man” crossings. If you cannot find any such crossing facilities nearby, there are some basic steps for crossing roads that you need to observe: 1. Find a safe place where you can see clearly along the roads in all directions for any approaching traffic. 2. When checking traffic, stop a little way back from the kerb where you will be away from traffic. 3. Look all around for traffic and listen. However, electric/hybrid vehicles including motorcycles may operate very quietly. You need to look out for them in addition to listening. If traffic is coming, let it pass. Look all around and listen again. 4. Let the drivers know your intention to cross but do not expect a driver to slow down for you. 5. Do not cross unless you are certain there is plenty of time. Walk straight across the road when there is no traffic near. 6. Keep looking and listening for vehicles that come into sight or come near while you cross. 7. Do not carry out any other activities, such as eating, drinking, playing mobile games,using mobile phones, listening to any audio device or talking while crossing the road. Give all your attention to the traffic. Using crossing facilities Crossing aids are often provided to help you cross busy roads. Footbridges and subways: Footbridges, subways and elevated walkways are the safest places to cross busy roads as they keep pedestrians well away from the dangers of traffic.

  • Literature Review
    Annex 9A Ecology – Literature Review LITERATURE REVIEW INTRODUCTION A literature review was conducted to review the baseline ecological characters of the Assessment Area, identify habitat resources and species of potential conservation importance, and identify information gaps to determine whether field surveys are required to provide sufficient information for the Ecological Impact Assessment. This Annex presents the findings of this literature review. LEGISLATIVE REQUIREMENTS AND EVALUATION CRITERIA 9A.1.2.1 Marine Parks Ordinance (Cap. 476) and its Subsidiary Legislation The Marine Parks Ordinance (Cap. 476) provides for the designation, control and management of marine parks and marine reserves. It also stipulates the Director of Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation as the Country and Marine Parks Authority which is advised by the Country and Marine Parks Board. The Marine Parks and Marine Reserves Regulation was enacted in July 1996 to provide for the prohibition and control of certain activities in marine parks or marine reserves. 9A.1.2.2 Wild Animals Protection Ordinance (Cap. 170) Under the Wild Animals Protection Ordinance (Cap. 170), designated wild animals are protected from being hunted, whilst their nests and eggs are protected from destruction and removal. All birds and most mammals including all cetaceans are protected under this Ordinance, as well as certain reptiles (including all sea turtles), amphibians and invertebrates. The Second Schedule of the Ordinance that lists all the animals protected was last revised in June 1997. 9A.1.2.3 Protection of Endangered Species of Animals and Plants Ordinance (Cap. 586) The Protection of Endangered Species of Animals and Plants Ordinance (Cap. 586) was enacted to align Hong Kong’s control regime with the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES).

  • When Is the Best Time to Go to Hong Kong?
    Page 1 of 98 Chris’ Copyrights @ 2011 When Is The Best Time To Go To Hong Kong? Winter Season (December - March) is the most relaxing and comfortable time to go to Hong Kong but besides the weather, there's little else to do since the "Sale Season" occurs during Summer. There are some sales during Christmas & Chinese New Year but 90% of the clothes are for winter. Hong Kong can get very foggy during winter, as such, visit to the Peak is a hit-or-miss affair. A foggy bird's eye view of HK isn't really nice. Summer Season (May - October) is similar to Manila's weather, very hot but moving around in Hong Kong can get extra uncomfortable because of the high humidity which gives the "sticky" feeling. Hong Kong's rainy season also falls on their summer, July & August has the highest rainfall count and the typhoons also arrive in these months. The Sale / Shopping Festival is from the start of July to the start of September. If the sky is clear, the view from the Peak is great. Avoid going to Hong Kong when there are large-scale exhibitions or ongoing tournaments like the Hong Kong Sevens Rugby Tournament because hotel prices will be significantly higher. CUSTOMS & DUTY FREE ALLOWANCES & RESTRICTIONS • Currency - No restrictions • Tobacco - 19 cigarettes or 1 cigar or 25 grams of other manufactured tobacco • Liquor - 1 bottle of wine or spirits • Perfume - 60ml of perfume & 250 ml of eau de toilette • Cameras - No restrictions • Film - Reasonable for personal use • Gifts - Reasonable amount • Agricultural Items - Refer to consulate Note: • If arriving from Macau, duty-free imports for Macau residents are limited to half the above cigarette, cigar & tobacco allowance • Aircraft crew & passengers in direct transit via Hong Kong are limited to 20 cigarettes or 57 grams of pipe tobacco.

  • Chairman and Members of the Country and Marine Parks Board Via Mr
    Chairman and Members of the Country and Marine Parks Board via Mr. LAI Chuen Chi, Patrick Assistant Director (Country & Marine Parks)(Acting) Country and Marine Parks Branch Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department (Email: [email protected]) By email only 18 September 2015 Dear Chairman and Members of the Country and Marine Parks Board, Joint Green Groups’ Request for the Designation of Po Toi Islands Country Park In 2012, during the designation of the Po Toi Islands Development Permission Area (DPA) plan, the Hong Kong Bird Watching Society (HKBWS) submitted a formal request to Planning Department (PlanD) and the Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department (AFCD) to designate Po Toi as a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and ultimately designate it as Country Park (CP) for comprehensive management and protection for its rich biodiversity and geological attributes. In early 2015, the draft Po Toi Islands Outline Zoning Plan (OZP) was 1 gazetted, however, the SSSI/CP proposal was not reflected in the draft OZP. The HKBWS, along with nine other organizations, are concerned over the lack of adequate biodiversity and geological protection available under the Town Planning Ordinance, and request for the designation of Po Toi Islands as a Country Park under the Country Parks Ordinance for the long term conservation of the area. A proposal prepared by the HKBWS describing the conservation value of Po Toi and detailed justifications for the request is attached (Attachment 1). It is a revised version of the proposal made in 2012 so as to include the latest findings. The revised proposal was also submitted to the Town Planning Board in April 2015.
