It is systematically not only affecting the system itself but regionally and international influencing others’. The study focused on how governance strongly influenced the urban areas, and thus, changed the structures of surrounding settlements at the same time. Resilience, a concept which was been highly aware and applied in governmental policies over recent years, was used in the study to analyze the pros and cons of the existing urban system in studied cases. Aberdeen City and Peterhead, located in North East Scotland, were both strongly depending on their fishing industry back in several decades. Citizens in Aberdeen City have the highest average salaries among Scotland due to the oil industry located it the city. Fishing industry was replaced causing by the new development goals of Aberdeen’s municipality. Phenomenon of counter- urbanization was observed as numerous fishermen and fish processing firms began to move into Peterhead. This paper raised to hypotheses in order to discuss the causes and consequences of this phenomenon. First, society in Aberdeen will gain more profit by transforming fishing industry to oil industry. Second, Peterhead will also be benefit due to less complexity of governance with a clustered economy. Research methods included both literature reviews and stakeholder interviews. Interview questions were administered via a semi-structured interview guide with interviewees been chosen through purposive sampling frame. A designed resilient urban framework proposed by Desouza and Flanery (2013) and a policy analytical approach designed by Bredgaard et al. (2003) were used for analyzing results. The results presented that, Aberdeen City economically profited by the transformation but with loss on its social stability. Fluctuating oil prices affected the society from time to time. Increasing unemployment rate and insufficient potential abilities to recover from future stressors were recognized. On the other hand, situation in Peterhead was not as good as hypothesised. Governance was even more complicated with greater regional cooperation proposed due to limited financial sources. To sum up, cities with a more diverse industrial base structure may have better capability on addressing potential stressors. Moreover, cities and settlements should not put all the efforts on pursuing economic performance. A balanced development through different aspects would be the key for having a more resilient and sustainable society. ii Counter-Urbanization of Fishing Areas in Scotland: Toward a Resilience Concept - Case Studies in Aberdeen City and Peterhead Acknowledgement I would like to express my deepest gratitude to my supervisor, Prof. Alyne Delaney, for her instructive advice and assistance.

    Moray Offshore Renewables Limited - Environmental Statement Telford, Stevenson and MacColl Offshore Wind Farms and Transmission Infrastructure 5 Human Environment 5.1 Commercial Fisheries 5.1 5.1.1 Introduction 5.1.1.1 This chapter summarises the baseline study of commercial fishing activities, including salmon and sea trout fisheries, in the vicinity of the three proposed development sites (Telford, Stevenson and MacColl) and the offshore transmission infrastructure (OfTI). For the purpose of this study, commercial fishing is defined as CHAPTER any legal fishing activity undertaken for declared taxable profit. 5.1.1.2 The following technical appendices support this chapter and can be found as: Technical Appendix 4.3 B (Salmon and Sea Trout Ecology Technical Report). Technical Appendix 5.1 A (Commercial Fisheries Technical Report). 5.1.1.3 For the purposes of this assessment, salmon and sea trout fisheries in the Moray Firth are separately addressed to other commercial fisheries, as a result of their being located largely in-river (with the exception of some coastal netting) and being different in nature to the majority of marine commercial fishing activities. In addition, due to the migratory behaviour of salmon and sea trout, fisheries have been assessed for all rivers flowing into the Moray Firth. It is also recognised that salmon is a qualifying feature or primary reason for Special Area of Conservation (SAC) site selection of the following rivers in the Moray Firth: Berriedale and Langwell Waters SAC (primary reason); River Moriston

  • Community Payback Order Annual Report
    COMMUNITY PAYBACK ORDER ANNUAL REPORT FINANCIAL YEAR: 2017/18 LOCAL AUTHORITY: Aberdeenshire Types of unpaid work projects and activities which have been carried out; the total number of unpaid work hours completed during the year; and information and examples that help to demonstrate how communities benefit from unpaid work. For 2017/18, 43,700 hours were carried out by the Aberdeenshire Unpaid Work Service. There was an increase in both the number of Unpaid Work Orders made and people who undertook unpaid hours increasing from 711 (2016/17) to 730 (2017/18). Despite the increase in Orders made and individuals undertaking unpaid work hours, the total hours worked has reduced. This can be attributed to a lower attendance rate of 61.4% compared to 66.0% during year 16/17. The Service has had to become more responsive to the range of more complex needs which are assessed as part of the suitability of people to undertake unpaid work. The Court is consistent in imposing Unpaid Work with the expectation that placement type and reporting instructions meet these complex needs to enable the individual to complete the hours imposed. Immediacy at the start of the Order, speed of completion and attendance are significantly affected by the responsivity needs of the individual. Additional individual placement opportunities and changes to how workshop spaces are used have continued to be developed during year 17/18 in response to the diversity of need which the service requires to accommodate on both an equality basis and also to fulfil the expectations of the Court. The following provides in geographical area examples of unpaid work projects which have in the main being undertaken by the traditional unpaid work party model of delivery.

  • Bathing Water Profile for Peterhead (Lido)
    Bathing Water Profile for Peterhead (Lido) Peterhead, Scotland _____________ Current water classification https://www2.sepa.org.uk/BathingWaters/Classifications.aspx _____________ Description Peterhead (Lido) bathing water is situated in Peterhead harbour on the east coast of Aberdeenshire. Its location is unusual in that it forms the shoreline of a boating marina which is itself situated within the outer harbour. The sandy beach is approximately 300 metres long. During high and low tides the approximate distance to the water’s edge can vary from 80–150 metres. The beach slopes gently towards the water. Site details Local authority Aberdeenshire Council Year of designation 1999 Water sampling location NK 12489 45175 EC bathing water ID UKS7616042 Catchment description The catchment draining into the Peterhead (Lido) bathing water extends to 1 km2. The catchment varies little in topography with elevations ranging from 45 metres in the west to an average of 5 metres along the coast. The area is predominantly urban (65%) with some rural areas (30%) mainly in the south and west. The main population centre is the town of Peterhead, which is located within 500 metres of the bathing water. The area immediately outside of the catchment includes some intensive and large-scale commercial and industrial activity in Peterhead Bay including industrial activity within 500 metres of the bathing water. The harbour is used by fishing vessels, many of which discharge hold water to the harbour area. The Peterhead (Lido) bathing water is located in a Nitrate Vulnerable Zone. Risks to water quality The principal risks and source of wet weather driven short term pollution at this bathing water arise from surface water urban drainage and combined sewer overflows.
