  • Simd Analysis: Future Projections
    SIMD ANALYSIS: FUTURE PROJECTIONS 1. Background and Introduction 1.1. This paper analyses the reasons behind the recent decline of deprivation in Glasgow, projects these trends towards 2015, and comments on their likely implications. It is based on a presentation made to the Community Planning Executive Group on 2nd June 2010, which itself came from a series of events held in autumn 2009/spring 2010, involving over 120 people from council and non- council organisations in Glasgow. 1.2. The gains Glasgow made in reducing its share of Scotland’s deprivation have been the result of long-term trends that have been operating over the last two or more decades. Identifying both the trends that led to the current situation, and those currently in operation which can reasonably be presented as being influential in Glasgow towards 2015, form the basis of the projections in this paper. The main indicator used has been the Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation (SIMD), and the analysis of three waves (2004, 2006 and 2009) has been supported by the use of other indicators. Looking at the absence of deprivation as well as at areas defined by deprivation includes all communities and gives a rounded analysis of the city. 1.3. The trends that have shaped the city at present are long-term and have been in operation since the 1990s, if not earlier. It follows that trends that can be identified in the present day will be those that influence the city by 2015. Their general direction has been to accelerate Glasgow’s development to its current position as a representative medium-sized western European city.

INTRODUCTION 1.1 On 19th April 2012, the Executive Director of Development and Regeneration Services published a briefing paper on the results, for Glasgow, of the 2010-base population projections prepared by National Records of Scotland (NRS). The paper gave also the main results of the household projections, prepared by Council staff, based on the NRS population projections. 1.2 On 14th June 2012 NRS published a set of sub-national household projections, based on the same 2010-base population projections.

Unless stated otherwise, the household projection results presented in this paper are those of the GCC variant projections.

    Detail of a carved relief from the temple of Bastet at Tell Basta, McLean Museum & Art Gallery, Greenock, Inverclyde Council © Museums Galleries Scotland Ancient Egyptian Collections in Scottish Museums Glasgow and Strathclyde Scottish Ancient Egyptian Collections Review East Ayrshire Leisure Contact Claire Gilmour [email protected] Bruce Morgan [email protected] Location of Collections In storage Primary contact location: The Dick Institute Elmbank Avenue Kilmarnock KA1 3BT Size of collections >45 objects Published Information Online collections: Selection available at www.futuremuseum.co.uk Online exhibition: The Journey Beyond, http://www.futuremuseum.co.uk/collections/features/online-exhibitions/the-journey- beyond.aspx Collection Highlights • Islamic foot rasp in the shape of a crocodile, previously labelled as a ‘lizard coffin’ (c. AD 1800–1900). • Two artworks by David Young Cameron (1865 –1945), a watercolour depicting the temple at Luxor and an etching showing the fort at the Moqattam Hills, Cairo. Collection Overview The collection cared for by East Ayrshire Leisure was initially formed in Kilmarnock as part of the Dick Institute, which opened in 1901 following the provision of funding by Kilmarnock- born industrialist James Dick (1823–1902). Part of the collection was formed in the following years. In 1909 a fire swept through the museum, damaging some objects and destroying others, while many of those that survived became disassociated from their object histories. The museum re-opened in 1911. The collection is built up primarily of material collected by visitors and tourists to Egypt, including amulets and metal figurines, faience shabtis and small Coptic objects. The collection also includes a number of modern shabtis and scarabs.
