  • Recreation, Sport and the Arts
    367 Chapter 19 Recreation, Sport and the Arts Hong Kong is well known for its hard- working people, but it is not an all-work- no-play city. People spend time in a wide variety of recreational, sport and cultural activities, ranging from ‘tai chi’ to yoga, football to rugby, and international arts festivals to home-grown performances. Hong Kong offers many opportunities for people to unwind. Recreation, sport and the arts provide an opportunity for people in Hong Kong to improve their quality of life. The Government helps to nurture an environment in which creative freedom, a pluralist approach to the development of the arts, sporting excellence and recreation can thrive. Government policies on matters concerning sport, recreation, culture and heritage are coordinated by the Home Affairs Bureau. Organisations that help to draw up these policies include the Hong Kong Sports Commission, the Hong Kong Sports Institute, the former Culture and Heritage Commission, the Hong Kong Arts Development Council and the Antiquities Advisory Board. The Hong Kong Sports Institute Limited was set up as a delivery agent to help develop sports in Hong Kong with special emphasis on training athletes for high- performance sports. In January 2005, the Government established the Sports Commission to advise on all matters related to sports development. The commission oversees the Elite Sports Committee, the Major Sports Events Committee and the Community Sports Committee which give advice on different aspects of sporting activities. The new advisory structure is a milestone for sports development in Hong Kong. The Leisure and Cultural Services Department (LCSD), an executive arm of the Home Affairs Bureau, provides leisure and cultural services to the community, preserves its cultural heritage, beautifies its physical environment, and fosters synergy among sports, cultural and community organisations.

    Journal of Literature and Art Studies, November 2017, Vol. 7, No. 11, 1478-1487 doi: 10.17265/2159-5836/2017.11.010 D DAVID PUBLISHING A Study on Functionality of Hong Kong Railway Museum XIE Hong Hangzhou Mass Cultural Center, Hangzhou, China This article aims to figure out the functionalities of Hong Kong Railway Museum and its essential statues in Hong Kong Railway culture. In general, the Hong Kong Railway Museum has two basic functions: First, it has been witnessing the development of Hong Kong Railway History; Second, the museum has its educational function in present days. Keywords: Hong Kong Railway Museum Functionality Introduction of the Hong Kong Railway’s Background Railway can be regarded as one of the most convenient and efficient public transportation methods during current ages. Hong Kong, as a compact district and a society with fast rhythm depends on the railway transportation almost entirely, it can be said that the railway is the life-force of Hong Kong citizens and all-round industries. People would probably stumble at every step if the railway system paralyses at any moment. Thus, the local government of Hong Kong has devoted so much force to create better condition for the development of railway and its related properties. According to the Railway Development Strategy of Hong Kong in 2014, “We will continue to develop a passenger transportation system centered on public transport with railway as the backbone. Our railway network now carries over 4.5 million passengers per day, accounting for about 40% of all public transport passenger trips. The development of railway transport will not only significantly speed up passenger flow, but will also reduce the reliance on road-based transport (thus the need to build more roads), alleviate road congestion and lessen vehicle-induced air pollution.

    For information LC Paper No. CB(2)2043/04-05(01) on 28 June 2005 SUBCOMMITTEE TO FOLLOW UP THE OUTSTANDING LEISURE AND CULTURAL SERVICES PROJECTS OF THE FORMER MUNICIPAL COUNCILS Report on Leisure and Cultural Services Projects Purpose This paper reports on the outcome of the review on the implementation programme of the 25 priority projects announced in the Chief Executive’s 2005 Policy Address and the overall position of the leisure and cultural services (LCS) projects and population in each of the 18 districts. Background 2. At the meeting held on 9 May 2005, the Subcommittee requested the Administration to provide a revised implementation programme of the 25 priority projects as well as the information on the provision of LCS facilities and the population in each of the 18 districts. Revised Implementation Programme of the 25 Priority Projects 3. With the concerted efforts of the related bureaux/departments, we are able to come up with a revised tentative implementation programme of the 25 projects (Annex 1). Of the 25 projects, we are targeting to advance the completion dates of 21 projects, by speeding up the drawing up of the scopes of individual projects; compressing the planning process at the pre-construction stage; and advancing the bidding of funds where possible. The revised programme is dependent upon the successful bidding of the necessary capital funding and findings of the necessary studies, e.g. environmental impact assessment. A total of 2 700 jobs arising from the 25 projects is expected to be PS121-05(1)-(LegCo on 28.6.05)Report on LCS projects - 2 - created between 2007 and 2011 in the construction industry, with the majority of the jobs being created by end 2008(Note).

    Foreword 2-3 Performance Pledges 4 Vision, Mission & Values 5 Leisure Services 6-28 Cultural Services 29-82 Administration 83-96 Feedback Channels 97 Appendices 98-121 1 Foreword The year 2015-16 was another fruitful one for the LCSD in its efforts to improve the quality of life of Hong Kong and enhance the physical and cultural well-being of people. Providing well-maintained and up-to-date facilities that meet the needs of our community remains our top priority. The Tiu Keng Leng Sports Centre and Public Library was one of the brand-new facilities that came into service during the year. We completed turf reconstruction at the Hong Kong Stadium, and carried out a major renovation of the Hong Kong Space Museum. We also pressed ahead with the upgrading and faceli of the Hong Kong Museum of Art, designed not only to increase the museum's exhibition space but also to enhance its visibility, accessibility, customer orientation and branding. Meanwhile, we were excited to begin construction of the new and much anticipated East Kowloon Cultural Centre. We continued to stage many colourful arts and cultural events during the year. One of the highlights was the first Muse Fest in the summer of 2015, which offered a rich celebration of all 14 museums under the auspices of the LCSD through a wide array of fun-filled activities and enriching experiences for the community. As part of the Appreciate Hong Kong campaign, free admission to museums was offered in the month of January 2016, resulting in an increase of over 40% in the number of visitors when compared with that in January 2015.
