  • Hong Kong's Water Resources Management Under “One Country
    FRONT�COVER Liquid Assets IV: Hong Kong’s Water Resources Management under “One Country, Two Systems” July 2013 Su Liu About Civic Exchange Civic Exchange is a Hong Kong-based non-profit public policy think tank that was established in October 2000. It is an independent organisation that has access to policy-makers, officials, businesses, media and NGOs – reaching across sectors and borders. Civic Exchange has solid research experience in areas such as air quality, energy, urban planning, climate change, conservation, water, governance, political development, equal opportunities, poverty and gender. For more information about Civic Exchange, visit www.civic- exchange.org. About the author Su Liu is the Head of Great China & Water Policy Researcher of Civic Exchange. Her work in Civic Exchange covers mainly water related policy research and China related project coordination. Su was a former public opinion researcher (Deputy Managing Director of the Gallup Organisation HK), and a communication strategist (Deputy Managing Director of Wirthlin Worldwide Asia). 2 Foreword Civic Exchange began its policy research work on water resources management in Hong Kong and the Pearl River Delta in 2009 and has published five research reports on the topic since then. The last three reports mainly focused on the Dongjiang River and the Pearl River Delta as we believed we needed a better understanding of the region’s current water demand and supply status. Hong Kong relies heavily on Guangdong to meet its internal water demand. These reports informed us about the implications of the region’s economic, social and political development on Hong Kong’s water supply.

  • Historic Building Appraisal 1 Tsang Tai Uk Sha Tin, N.T
    Historic Building Appraisal 1 Tsang Tai Uk Sha Tin, N.T. Tsang Tai Uk (曾大屋, literally the Big Mansion of the Tsang Family) is also Historical called Shan Ha Wai (山廈圍, literally, Walled Village at the Foothill). Its Interest construction was started in 1847 and completed in 1867. Measuring 45 metres by 137 metres, it was built by Tsang Koon-man (曾貫萬, 1808-1894), nicknamed Tsang Sam-li (曾三利), who was a Hakka (客家) originated from Wuhua (五華) of Guangdong (廣東) province which was famous for producing masons. He came to Hong Kong from Wuhua working as a quarryman at the age of 16 in Cha Kwo Ling (茶果嶺) and Shaukiwan (筲箕灣). He set up his quarry business in Shaukiwan having his shop called Sam Lee Quarry (三利石行). Due to the large demand for building stone when Hong Kong was developed as a city since it became a ceded territory of Britain in 1841, he made huge profit. He bought land in Sha Tin from the Tsangs and built the village. The completed village accommodated around 100 residential units for his family and descendents. It was a shelter of some 500 refugees during the Second World War and the name of Tsang Tai Uk has since been adopted. The sizable and huge fortified village is a typical Hakka three-hall-four-row Architectural (三堂四横) walled village. It is in a Qing (清) vernacular design having a Merit symmetrical layout with the main entrance, entrance hall, middle hall and main hall at the central axis.

  • 41912405 Masters Thesis CHEUNG Siu
    University of Queensland School of Languages & Comparative Cultural Studies Master of Arts in Chinese Translation and Interpreting CHIN7180 - Thesis Translation of Short Texts: A case study of street names in Hong Kong Student: Shirmaine Cheung Supervisor: Professor Nanette Gottlieb June 2010 ©2010 The Author Not to be reproduced in any way except for the purposes of research or study as permitted by the Copyright Act 1968 Abstract The topic of this research paper is “Translation of Short Texts: A case study of street names in Hong Kong”. It has been observed that existing translation studies literature appears to cater mainly for long texts. This suggests that there may be a literature gap with regard to short text translation. Investigating how short texts are translated would reveal whether mainstream translation theories and strategies are also applicable to such texts. Therefore, the objectives of the paper are two-fold. Firstly, it seeks to confirm whether there is in fact a gap in the existing literature on short texts by reviewing corpuses of leading works in translation studies. Secondly, it investigates how short texts have been translated by examining the translation theories and strategies used. This is done by way of a case study on street names in Hong Kong. The case study also seeks to remedy the possible paucity of translation literature on short texts by building an objective and representative database to function as an effective platform for examining how street names have been translated. Data, including street names in English and Chinese, are collected by way of systematic sampling from the entire data population.

  • Historic Building Appraisal of 3 New Items
    N27 Historic Building Appraisal Steps of Pound Lane Sheung Wan, H.K. The Chinese community, mainly comprising the newcomers from the Historical mainland, was first established on the northern part of Hong Kong Island Interest along the coast in the early 1840s, with settlements concentrated in the Upper, Middle and Lower Bazaars. The main business centre near the coast was called Lower Bazaar (下市場), within which the main street was today’s Jervois Street (蘇杭街) in Sheung Wan. The Upper Bazaar (上市場) was located on the hillside at the back of the Lower Bazaar, and was generally referred to as Taipingshan (太平山). The main streets of the Upper Bazaar were approximately where the present-day Lower and Upper Lascar Rows (上 摩囉街) (下摩囉街) are situated. The Middle Bazaar (中市場) was an area including today’s Peel (卑利街), Graham (嘉咸街), Gutzlaff (吉士笠 街 ), Cochrane (閣麟街), Gage (結志街) and Gough Streets (歌賦街 ) in Central. At the foot of this area were some marine lots. The Middle Bazaar was located very close to the areas inhabited by Europeans. In view of the cultural differences between the Chinese and European communities and the undesirable hygienic condition of the Chinese tenements, the government carried out a segregation policy and relocated the Chinese residents of the Middle Bazaar to the Taipingshan area crossed by Lower Lascar Row ( 下摩囉街), Hollywood Road (荷里活道) and Taipingshan Street (now known as Tai Ping Shan Street) (太平山街). By September 1844, all the old structures in the Middle Bazaar had been removed. Subsequently, all the places to the east of Aberdeen Street (鴨巴 甸街) were inhabited by Europeans.

  • Of Annex B Heritage Value of Pok Fu Lam Reservoir, Tai Tam Group Of
    Page 1 of Annex B Heritage Value of Pok Fu Lam Reservoir, Tai Tam Group of Reservoirs, Wong Nai Chung Reservoir, Kowloon Reservoir, Shing Mun (Jubilee) Reservoir and Aberdeen Reservoir INTRODUCTION Tracing back the historical development of water supply in Hong Kong before 1860s, water supply mainly relied on primitive sources such as wells and streams. Since the mid-nineteenth century, the continual growth in population and the accompanying city expansion had placed an increasing demand on urban infrastructure, of which water supply was in utmost need for the development of Hong Kong given the fact that rainfall and natural fresh water resources were erratic. HISTORY Pok Fu Lam Reservoir 2. From 1841 to 1861, the first 20 years of British rule, the population of Hong Kong increased rapidly from 7,000 people to almost 120,000, the majority of whom lived in the City of Victoria. As no private enterprises were interested in water services due to the fact that the initial cost and risk for such a provision were excessively high, the government found it necessary to assume responsibility for a permanent public water supply scheme. 3. It was not until the time of Sir Hercules Robinson, Governor from 1859 to 1865, that the first water scheme was mooted. On 29 February 1860, a British national, S.B. Rawling proposed the construction of the first reservoir in Hong Kong. Potential sites for a reservoir were difficult to find and due to technological constraints on reservoir building, the location of the reservoir had to take into account water flows downstream.
