  • Hong Kong Country Overview
    HONG KONG COUNTRY OVERVIEW INTRODUCTION Electric, eclectic, energizing, nonstop, traditional, cosmopolitan, international; there are so many words to describe Hong Kong, one simply has to visit to experience it all. Hong Kong was a British colony from the mid-19th century until 1997 when China resumed sovereignty. The city now operates as a Special Administrative Region (SAR) under China’s ‘one country – two rule system.’ A haven for consumerists, Hong Kong offers some of the best shopping anywhere in the world. The infrastructure is modern and developed which makes getting around easy. On top of that, because of the city’s long history with the western world, English is spoken everywhere making Hong Kong a relatively easy destination to visit compared to other parts of China. 2 ABOUT HONG KONG LANDSCAPE Hong Kong is located at the delta of the Pearl River on China’s Southeast coast. The city is made up of Hong Kong island, and several areas on the mainland peninsula known as Kowloon and the New Territories. In total, the land area is over 1100 km2. CLIMATE Hong Kong enjoys a humid subtropical climate with hot, humid summers and relatively mild winters. It is most likely to rain during the summer months (June, July, August) and this is, therefore, the low travel season. The most popular seasons to visit are Spring with mild temperatures and only occasional rain and autumn which is usually sunny and dry. PEOPLE There are approximately 7.3 million people living in Hong Kong, 95% of whom are of Chinese descent (Mainly Canton people).

In Tearly times people inhabited only a few islands. Among them the best-known are Cheung Chau and Tai O on Lantau Island; Mui Wo and Peng Chau are also important. Mr. Charles Mok, former CLP Organization Development Manager, and Mr. Cheng Ka Shing, former CLP Regional Manager, have been serving the people of the Islands District for many years. During the early years of the 1960s, Lord Lawrence Kadoorie initiated the expansion of the Rural Electrification Scheme to Lantau Island. At that time there were very few people (less !"# !"#$%&'() than 30 families) living in Ngong Ping and Ngong Ping, where the great Buddha Statue is situated, is the centre of Hong Kong’s Buddhism around Po Lin Monastery on Lantau Island. Ngong Ping got its electricity supply between 1964 and 1965, while the bungalows at Tai O had received electricity supply earlier. Since the bungalows were mainly built with iron sheets, the installation of electricity was very difficult. The people there used a kind of wood named “Kun Dian” as posts to hold the electric cables.

  • A Case Study of Hong Kong YWCA, Tai O YICK, Man Kin A
    Ecological Change and Organizational Legitimacy Repair: A Case Study of Hong Kong YWCA, Tai O YICK, Man Kin A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Philosophy in Sociology The Chinese University of Hong Kong August 2011 Abstract of thesis entitled: Ecological Change and Organizational Legitimacy Repair: A Case Study of Hong Kong YWCA, Tai O Submitted by YICK, Man Kin for the degree of Master of Philosophy at The Chinese University of Hong Kong in August 2011 ii Abstract This thesis studies how an organization maintained its legitimacy in response to the changing ecology. Through this study, the dynamics between state and social service sector in Hong Kong in the past two decades will be illuminated. This study draws on concepts from literature on organizational legitimacy, stakeholder analysis, and nonprofit studies. Through a qualitative case study, I attempt to illustrate how a social service organization (SSO), Hong Kong YWCA, differed in strategies of legitimacy repair after challenges from a Tai O rural consultative body, government departments, and other parts of the society in two time periods: the District Board election in 1988 and post-disaster relief during 2008-10 (the River Crab Saga). I aim to provide an explanation of more consistent, unified, and less complied response in the earlier case but less consistent, unified and more compliance with stakeholders' demands in the latter case - the high level of change in salience among YWCA stakeholders in the latter dispute. Two factors resulted in such a change: 1) the less stable funding environment due to Lump Sum Grant System, and 2) the intensified struggle between pro-Beijing and pro-democracy factions due to party penetration of society and rise of popular political awareness.
