Dual Naming of Sea Areas in Modern Atlases and Implications for the East Sea/Sea of Japan Case
Dual naming of sea areas in modern atlases and implications for the East Sea/Sea of Japan case Rainer DORMELS* Dual naming is, to varying extents, present in nearly all atlases. The empirical research in this paper deals with the dual naming of sea areas in about 20 atlases from different nations in the years from 2006 to 2017. Objective, quality, and size of the atlases and the country where the atlases originated from play a key role. All these characteristics of the atlases will be taken into account in the paper. In the cases of dual naming of sea areas, we can, in general, differentiate between: cases where both names are exonyms, cases where both names are endonyms, and cases where one name is an endonym, while the other is an exonym. The goal of this paper is to suggest a typology of dual names of sea areas in different atlases. As it turns out, dual names of sea areas in atlases have different functions, and in many atlases, dual naming is not a singular exception. Dual naming may help the users of atlases to orientate themselves better. Additionally, dual naming allows for providing valuable information to the users. Regarding the naming of the sea between Korea and Japan present study has achieved the following results: the East Sea/Sea of Japan is the sea area, which by far showed the most use of dual naming in the atlases examined, in all cases of dual naming two exonyms were used, even in atlases, which allow dual naming just in very few cases, the East Sea/Sea of Japan is presented with dual naming. -
Weekend Visitors' Views and Perceptions at an Urban National

We empirically examine the preferences and satisfaction of Green infrastructure visitors in the Athalassa National Forest Park, which is located in a peri-urban area in the capital city of Cyprus. National Park This study examines visitors’ evaluation of the Athalassa in 600 face-to-face interviews during summertime Park management weekends. A two-step cluster analysis identified two distinct clusters of visitors based on the three dimensions of Segmentation analysis satisfaction that resulted from the factor analysis and the characteristics of the visit. The dual role of the urban forest National Park was highlighted. Both local and tourist visitors were satisfied and appreciative of the setting and support services, although only the local and higher income visitors were willing to pay an entrance fee, whereas tourists avoided expressing their opinion. Management implications: This study highlighted a number of deficiencies and produced information that could be used to integrate the management decision-making process and assist in defining major lines of action for more inclusive use of urban national forest parks. -

In between these north and south parts lies the well-known Cyprus Buffer zone that to this day expresses the realities of the armed conflict that took place there four decades ago. This buffer zone rep- resents the lack of communication and mistrust that exists between the two ‘rival’ sides. As a Cypriot designer I felt the need to come up with an appropri- ate project that will bring people closer together, giving them the chance to communicate, debate, exchange knowledge and views and generally understand the needs of each side leading to a better and smoother social and cultural blend thus making it easier for the people to digest any future plans of total reunification. In order to get inspiration and a better understanding of how to deal with such situations I examined borders and their evolvement at differ- ent scales and contexts, but also looking at various peace-promoting projects in conflict zones. -

During the three trips conducted to Northern Cyprus in 2007, we found that three frog and toad species (Anura), 11 lizards (Lacertilia), 3 turtles (Testudinata) and 9 snakes (Ophidia) inhabit the northern part of the Cyprus Island. The distributions of a total of 26 reptile and amphibian species were observed and some ecological information on their biotopes was summarized, and the taxonomic states of some of the species determined discussed. Key Words: Northern Cyprus, herpetofauna, snakes, lizards Cyprus, with 9251 km2 area, is the part of the island has a mountain chain third largest island after Sicily and which is called Pentadactylos, made of Sardinia in the Mediterranean Sea.

Cyprus Ministry of Communication & Works
Report of the ThinkBike workshop in Nicosia and Larnaca, Cyprus, 16 - 19 December 2013 Sponsored by: Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, Nicosia Cyprus Ministry of Communication & Works City of Nicosia City of Larnaca In co-operation with Dutch Cycling Embassy Think Bike workshop 1 Introduction The Dutch Cycling Embassy was commissioned by the Embassy of the Royal Kingdom of the Netherlands in Nicosia to conduct a combined ThinkBike workshop in the cities of Nicosia and Larnaca on Cyprus from 16 to 19 December 2013. The idea of a ThinkBike workshop is that Dutch experts will discuss a local cycling-related problem with two teams of local experts and other stakeholders of cycling. The confrontation of local and Dutch approaches of the local problems at hand will generate new perceptions and potential solutions that haven't been seriously considered before. The programme typically includes a presentation about the cycling culture and related cycling-inclusive policy development in the Netherlands, an explanation of the local (in this case Cypriot) cycling policies and two parallel work sessions to discuss one local problem in each team. ThinkBike workshops are then concluded with a presentation of the generated proposals for the solution of the local problems to a wider audience. The workshop in Nicosia and Larnaca was special in so far as there was an overlap between the participants of the workshop in both cities. This is due to the fact that in Cyprus the planning and implementation of a Cycling Network, as well as legislation and ruling matters concerning cycling are set by government sectors and responsible Ministries, following the views of Local Authorities. -

An Archaic Cypriote Amphora at Duke University Stanley, Keith Greek, Roman and Byzantine Studies; Winter 1968; 9, 4; ProQuest pg. 355 An Archaic Cypriote Amphora at Duke University Keith Stanley LARGE Cypriote amphora (PLATES 2-5), formerly in the collec A tion of Captain E. G. Spencer-Churchill, M.e., was acquired in 1965 for the Duke Classical Collection.1 Its monumental size and complexity of decoration make it a notable addition to a type of Cypriote pottery little represented in the published literature. The height of the amphora is 86.5 cm.; the outer diameter at the lip is 41.3 cm. Apart from slight chipping at the foot, the vase is un broken and intact. Two slight depressions appear on side B below the handle zone to right and left, probably resulting from an overcrowded kiln or to handling prior to firing. 2 There is a buff slip on buff clay, and the bichrome decoration is applied in matt black which fires to brown, and dull red which varies to reddish-brown. The wide rim (see PLATE 5) slopes downward to the outer edge. Under the lip there is a slight concavity insufficient to form a distinct ridge below it. The neck is cylindrical with a slight upward flare. The body is ovoid, and tapers downward to a thick low foot. Two rising loop handles are set horizontally at the shoulder. The shape corresponds most closely to Gjerstad's Bichrome IV Amphora Type 2a*, represented by a vase in the Stockholm Cyprus Collection, Ace. 699. 3 Except for the upper shoulder band, the decoration on sides A and B is identical, although side B has suffered some pitting and rubbing, 1 Duke Classical Collection, AcquiSition no.65.5. -

Familiarity with Slovenian Exonyms in the Professional Community Drago Kladnik, Primož Pipan
ONOMÀSTICA BIBLIOTECA TÈCNICA DE POLÍTICA LINGÜÍSTICA Familiarity with Slovenian Exonyms in the Professional Community Drago Kladnik, Primož Pipan DOI: 10.2436/15.8040.01.189 Abstract As part of UNGEGN, experts on geographical names are continually striving to limit the use of exonyms, especially in international communication. However, this conflicts with the linguistic heritage of individual peoples as an important element of their cultural heritage. In order to obtain suitable points of departure to prepare the planned standardization of Slovenian exonyms, in the fall of 2010 we used an internet survey to conduct a study on their degree of familiarity among the Slovenian professional community, especially among geographers (teachers, researchers, and others) and linguists. The survey was kept brief for understandable reasons and contained four sets of questions. The first set applied to familiarity with the Slovenian exonyms for seventy European cities, the second to familiarity with the Slovenian exonyms for ten European islands and archipelagos, the third to familiarity with archaic Slovenian exonyms for ten European cities, and the fourth to the most frequently used forms for ten non-European cities with allonyms. We asked the participants to answer the questions off the top of their heads without relying on any kind of literature or browsing the web. We received 167 completed questionnaires and carefully analyzed them. Many of the participants had difficulty recognizing endonyms. A basic finding of the analysis was that the degree of familiarity with individual exonyms varies greatly. ***** 1. Introduction As part of the project “Slovenian Exonyms: Methodology, Standardization, and GIS” at the ZRC SAZU Anton Melik Geographical Institute, we determined the level of familiarity with names for foreign topographic items and features in Slovenian among the professional community.
