  • Vision Implementation Engagement Results Current to May 3, 2021 at 10:45 Am
    Vision Implementation Engagement Results Current to May 3, 2021 at 10:45 am Introduction As the county’s population increases and becomes more racially, ethnically, and linguistically diverse, gaps are increasing between users and the recreational facilities and services that Parks & Recreation offers. To meet changing community needs and interests, Parks & Recreation developed a new vision for its parks and recreation system: A dynamic, community-centered system that provides opportunities for our ever-changing community to engage with inclusive and welcoming parks and recreation sites and programming. To help realize this vision, stakeholders were asked to provide input and ideas that will help shape budgeting, planning and community engagement efforts over the next decade. Below is a running compilation of results from various virtual and online engagements beginning January 26, 2021. Learn more on the project website. Compilation and Navigation This compilation combines results from live/virtual and online survey engagements, totaling approximately 668 to date. Over the course of this engagement some questions were refined or merged and results were combined to include all results. Results are presented alphabetically by question and generally remain as written by the contributor or documented by a facilitator. Minor edits have been made to correct obvious spelling or punctuation errors that affect clarity, remove vulgar words and NA / none / nothing responses where appropriate, or protect privacy; and if a survey respondent copied the same response for all or multiple questions, only the first was retained. Word clouds were generated via wordart.com. All engagement opportunities included information about the Parks & Recreation system through this or a slightly shorter video, and began with this statement: Imagine it's five years from now and Parks and Recreation is making great progress on this vision.

  • Calgary Parks & Pathway Bylaw Review
    Calgary Parks & Pathway Bylaw Review Stakeholder Report Back: What we Heard May 4, 2018 Project overview A parks bylaw is a set of rules to regulate the actions and behaviours of park users. These rules are intended to protect park assets, promote safety and provide a safe and enjoyable experience for park users. The Parks and Pathway Bylaw was last reviewed in 2003. Since then the way we use parks has evolved. For example, in recent years goats have been introduced to our parks to help manage weeds, Segways have been seen on pathways and new technologies, such as drones, have become more commonplace. Engagement overview Engagement sought to understand what is important to you in terms of your park usage as part of this Bylaw review to better assess your usage and as a result, our next steps. Engagement is one area that will help us as we review the Parks and Pathway Bylaw. In addition to your input, we are looking into 3-1-1 calls, other reports and best practices from other cities. In alignment with City Council’s Engage Policy, all engagement efforts, including this project are defined as: Purposeful dialogue between The City and citizens and stakeholders to gather meaningful information to influence decision making. As a result, all engagement follows the following principles: Citizen-centric: focusing on hearing the needs and voices of both directly impacted and indirectly impacted citizens Accountable: upholding the commitments that The City makes to its citizens and stakeholders by demonstrating that the results and outcomes of the engagement processes are consistent with the approved plans for engagement Inclusive: making best efforts to reach, involve, and hear from those who are impacted directly or indirectly Committed: allocating sufficient time and resources for effective engagement of citizens and stakeholders Responsive: acknowledging citizen and stakeholder concerns Transparent: providing clear and complete information around decision processes, procedures and constraints.

Ondřej Sitek Faculty of Science, Masaryk University Department of Anthropology Title of Thesis: Scooter riding: an anthropological-ergonomic evaluation Degree programme: Anthropology Field of Study: Anthropology Supervisor: Mgr. Martin Čuta, Ph.D. Academic Year: 2015/2016 Number of Pages: 151 Keywords: scooter; ergonomics; kinematic recording of scooter riding; anthropometry; biomechanics; body posture Abstract This present diploma thesis deals with the fresh phenomenon of non-motorised scooters. Rapid increase in popularity and consequent progressive development of various scooter types resulted in the incorporation of scooters among regular means of transport, with the potential to substitute bicycles in many instances. This thesis endeavours to present a satisfactory insight into scooter problematics, both on a theoretical and practical level. The performed research strived to systematically cover the fundamental anthropological fields: anthropometry of scooter riders and kinematics of scooter riding. The anthropometry was performed on 30 scooter riders (24 males and 6 females), and the chosen dimensions were related to the scooter ergonomics.
