Mega Event and Transportation:Analyzing New MEGA-EVENT & TRANSPORTATION: ANALYZING NEW DELHI & XIX COMMONWEALTH GAMES, 2010 By Priyamvada Kayal A THESIS Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirement for the degree of MASTER OF URBAN AND REGIONAL PLANNING Urban and Regional Planning 2013 ABSTRACT MEGA-EVENT & TRANSPORTATION: ANALYZING NEW DELHI & XIX COMMONWEALTH GAMES, 2010 By Priyamvada Kayal This thesis communicates the affects of a sporting mega event on the urban transportation fabric of a city. It specifically examines the XIX Commonwealth Games 2010 hosted by the capital city of India, New Delhi and analyzes the development process during the preparation period of the Commonwealth Games. It focuses on three types of developments planned and constructed, planned but not constructed and additional developments. The transport infrastructure development like roads and flyover and in transit sector modifications and expansion of the Delhi metro (rapid rail transit) was analyzed according to the above mentioned categories. Finally, it was deduced that the Commonwealth Games accelerated the development process that was initially planned by the city, but it also compelled the city to invest in developments that were required for the successful delivery of Commonwealth Games.

  • Chapter 2 Building a Society with a Lifelong Love of Sports [PDF:556KB]
    BUILDING A SOCIETY WITH Chapter 2 A LIFELONG LOVE OF SPORTS Part 1 Basic Measures to Promote Sports 1 Progress Made in Basic Plan for the Promotion of Sports, and Direction of Future Measures (1) Basic Plan for the Promotion of Sports Sports enrich our lives and make us more balanced. Also, sports satisfy both physical and mental needs. Sports are enjoyed by all people in the world. As an activity that influences our lives both physically and mentally, sport is thus essential to the creation of an optimistic, affluent, and vigorous society and in the sound physical and mental development of the individual. It is therefore of fundamental importance to allow people to partake in sports activities throughout their lives. The Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT), based on the Basic Plan for the Promotion of Sports formulated in September 2000, is implementing various measures to promote sports. The basic plan provides the fundamental principles for promoting sports in Japan based on the Sports Promotion Law and sets out specific promotion activities, including targets for the decade from FY2001 to FY2010. Progress of the Basic Plan for the Promotion of Sports (Example) (1) Measures to improve the local environment to create a lifelong sports society To increase the percentage of people doing a sport at least once a week to at least 50% (one out of two persons) • Progress As a result of boosting a range of different measures to create a society in which all people can enjoy sport at every stage of their lives (“lifelong sports society”), including nationwide deploy- ment of comprehensive community sports clubs, the percentage of adults doing a sport at least once a week increased from 37.2% in 2000 to 38.5% in 2004.

  • Fishing and Early Jomon Foodways at Sannai Maruyama, Japan
    Fishing and Early Jomon Foodways at Sannai Maruyama, Japan By Mio Katayama A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Anthropology in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Junko Habu, Chair Professor Christine Hastorf Professor Mack Horton Spring 2011 Abstract Fishing and Early Jomon Foodways at Sannai Maruyama, Japan By Mio Katayama Doctor of Philosophy in Anthropology University of California, Berkeley Professor Junko Habu, Chair This thesis examines the economic vs. social and symbolic importance of fish in the foodways of the prehistoric Jomon culture (16,000-2300 cal BP) of Japan. To achieve this goal, quantitative analyses of fish remains excavated from a water-logged midden of the Sannai Maruyama site (Aomori Prefecture, Japan) are conducted. Dated to the Lower Ento–a phase (ca. 5900–5650 cal BP) of the Early Jomon Period, the midden was associated with large amounts of organic remains, including fish bones. The perspective employed in this dissertation, foodways, emphasizes the importance of social and cultural roles of food. Rather than focus on bio-ecological aspects and nutritional values of food, this thesis regards food as one of the central elements of individual cultures. In Japanese archaeology, food of the Jomon Period has been a central them to the discussion reconstructing the lifeways of prehistoric people of the Japanese archipelago. Large amounts of data, including faunal and floral materials, have been accumulated from numerous rescue excavations of Jomon sites that took place between the 1970s and late 1990s. These archaeological data allowed the development of detailed culture historical studies of the Jomon Period that span over 10,000 years.
