The Department of Planning, Industry and Environment recognises that, as part of the world’s oldest living culture, traditional Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander owners and custodians of the Australian continent and adjacent islands share a unique bond to Country — a bond forged through thousands of years of travelling across lands and waterways for ceremony, religion, trading and seasonal migration. A key objective in planning for the Aerotropolis is to: Recognise Country Acknowledge Traditional Custodians and provide opportunities to Connect with Country, Design for Country and Care for Country when planning for the Aerotropolis. Aboriginal peoples maintain a strong belief that if we care for Country, it will care for us. The Aerotropolis area is custodially cared for by three Aboriginal groups: the Darug, Dharawal and Gundungurra. Others, such as the Eora, Darkinjung, Wiradjuri and Yuin maintain trade or other obligatory care relationships with the area. The Deerubbin, Gandangara and Tharawal Local Aboriginal Land Councils also have local land holdings and responsibilities towards Aboriginal peoples living in the area. Country takes in everything within the physical, cultural and spiritual landscape – landforms, waters, air, trees, rocks, plants, animals, foods, medicines, minerals, stories and special places. It includes cultural practice, kinship, knowledge, songs, stories and art, as well as spiritual beings, and people: past, present and future. At around 12 square kilometres, the area of the Aerotropolis is large, and extends beyond the initial Aerotropolis Precincts for which planning is underway. The Aerotropolis forms part of Country – the interconnected and complex system of water, landscape, geology, sky and culture important to Traditional Owners – and is emerging as a critical integral concept to urban design. Country extends from the mountains, across the plains and rolling hills to the sea and beyond. The planning and future phases of the Aerotropolis will recognise Aboriginal cultural values in design outcomes, cultural heritage, and the approach to the urban system.

In order to increase the service capacity efficiency on check-in, security checks, and customs clearance, the Ministry of Transportation and Communications R.O.C. (MOTC), Taiwan, rerouted the airport traffic flow by implementing the in-town check-in (ITCI) concept to decrease crowding in the airport waiting hall. This research examined the structure of critical success factors (CSFs) for ITCIs, deriving three hierarchies of three dimensions, eight criteria, and 18 evaluation indexes from the previous literature, expert interviews, and analysis results from Analytic Network Process (ANP) via Super Decisions software. The three CSF dimensions were: first- level hierarchy “advantageous environments,” followed by “marketing” and “service value,” which is a second-level hierarchy. The study concluded that the third level item of “transferred vehicles system and management” can play an important key role in ITCTs and “users’ usage preference” has a high correlation to ITCT management strategy.

  • Global Aerotropolis Versus Local Aqua-Community: Conflicting Landscapes in the Extended Bangkok Metropolitan Region, Thailand
    The Sustainable World 205 Global aerotropolis versus local aqua-community: conflicting landscapes in the extended Bangkok Metropolitan Region, Thailand S. Nasongkhla1 & S. Sintusingha2 1Department of Landscape Architecture, Faculty of Built Environment, University Technology Malaysia, Malaysia 2Landscape Architecture Program, Faculty of Architecture Building and Planning, University of Melbourne, Australia Abstract Samutprakan province, located in the alluvial flood plain that once formed part of the pre-existing mangrove forests of the lower Chao Phraya River, has been affected by rapid urbanization from Bangkok since the 1980s, which has had significant impacts upon the hydrological system. Today, Samutprakan could be further transformed by the discourse of global city branding through the initiative of the Suvarnabhumi Aerotropolis. We conducted a time-series analysis of aerial photographs of the Bang Pli and Bang Pla districts of Samutprakan province to investigate how the landscape has been changed over time and the results indicate that the intensified industrial and higher density residential developments exacerbated the deteriorating ecological conditions of the waterway. Despite the proposal of an environmentally friendlier alternative of aquatic modern living, the strong tendency is that traditional aquatic cultural livelihoods and urban agriculture are being displaced and gentrified by the new town development. Keywords: environmental sustainability, landscape change, local livelihoods, city branding, urban expansion. WIT Transactions on Ecology and the Environment, Vol 142, © 2010 WIT Press www.witpress.com, ISSN 1743-3541 (on-line) doi:10.2495/SW100191 206 The Sustainable World 1 Introduction Panitchpakdi [8] noted that the ribbon development in the eastern region of Bangkok is highly significant in terms of population, industrial growth and national economic development that link to the Eastern Sea Board Project further down the Gulf of Thailand’s east coast.

  • Taiwan's Taoyuan Aerotropolis Project on Track to Begin in 2018
    Taiwantrade News Taiwan's Taoyuan Aerotropolis Project on track to begin in 2018 The Taoyuan International Airport and the government are gearing up for a massive infrastructure expansion project set to begin in 2018; The Taoyuan Aerotropolis project. The massive infrastructure development plan is set to receive final approval in March, and then the Taoyuan City Government will have the clear to begin seeking contractors to start construction. Located in Taoyuan City in northwestern Taiwan, the Taoyuan Aerotropolis will essentially create a modern industrial logistics center, development zone as well as a modern urban residential neighborhood, all surrounding the current Taoyuan International Airport. Concept plans for the massive 4,500 hectare project have been in the works since as early as 2009, and the project will possibly be the largest infrastructure project in Taiwan’s history. Promoted as a “Gateway to Taiwan and to Asia,” the project calls for new rail lines, including a new MRT line for the Aerotropolis zone itself. In addition to the Taoyuan International Airport, the new complex will include the following five key zones; a Green Innovation Zone, a Logistics and Trading Zone, a LOHAS Residential Zone, a Passenger Transportation and Retail Zone, and an Administration and Business Service Zone. Taiwantrade News The current plans are also being promoted in step with the government’s “5+2" Industrial Innovation program, and will be integrated into the Asia Silicon Valley Development initiative. The entire project will also be a fertile ground for investment in smart technologies, Internet of Things, and the development of “green” technology and design.

  • Governing Airport Cities
    Global Airport Cities Spring 2009 Governing the aerotropolis How are today’s airport regions being administered? The Kenan Institute’s Dr Stephen Appold and Dr John Kasarda investigate. Aviation-linked commercial development, once confined largely to airport property and its immediate environs, is rapidly spreading outward. In the process, a new airport- anchored urban economic region is forming – the aerotropolis. The aerotropolis encompasses the airport city and the air commerce driven areas surrounding it. Some of these airport-linked developments primarily serve passenger-driven retail, restaurants, accommodations, and conference and exhibition facilities. Other airport areas have a heavy concentration of freight-handling facilities, while others are oriented towards filling regional office space needs. Indeed, most large airports now anchor an extensive region with multiple aviation- oriented functions. Given that these functions often encompass multiple jurisdictions, planning and co- ordinating aerotropolis development is frequently intertwined with issues of governance (administrative control). A successful aerotropolis requires co-ordinated investments in land use and ground transportation that leverage each other to the economic and environmental benefit of businesses, land owners, local governments, and the broader region. Three types of governance structures have evolved over time. These can be categorised as market, hierarchy and network. In practice, hybrid forms are most common. Market-driven The earliest aerotropolis forms to appear were market-based. That is, individual firms located near airports to maximise their own economic benefit given the evolving real estate supply and demand situation. In the US, airport cities surrounding Atlanta, Dallas/Fort Worth (DFW) and Chicago O’Hare international airports typify marked-based processes.

  • Environmental Sustainability Measures for Airports By
    Environmental Sustainability Measures for Airports by Maha Mousavi Sameh & Juliana Scavuzzi Occasional Paper Series: Sustainable International Civil Aviation The attached Occasional Papers have been prepared by a group of scholars associated with the Institute of Air and Space Law (IASL) at McGill University. They are the result of a collaborative effort between the IASL and the Centre for International Sustainable Development Law and are designed to be part of a book prepared by authors from both groups which will eventually be published by the Cambridge University Press under the title Sustainable International Civil Aviation. As the title of the book suggests, bringing together these various scholars and papers is the central theme of the sustainable development of international aviation. In particular, the work of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), the primary United Nations body tasked with regulating the environmental aspects of international aviation, and the provisions of the Chicago Convention which lays down powers of the Organization and the fundamental rules of international air law, form the primary focus of this collection. At the next ICAO Assembly in September-October of 2016, ICAO has the ambitious mandate to finalise a global scheme to limit CO2 emissions from international aviation. As many of the articles contained in the book are of immediate relevance to the discussions due to take place at ICAO, publishing and disseminating these draft chapters will contribute to the growing interest and debates on the issue of the environmental impact of aviation. It is hoped that these papers will contribute to the work of the Assembly and that informed readers and delegates participating at the ICAO Assembly will have constructive comments to share with the authors.
