VALLETTA PARTICIPATION SURVEY National Statistics Ofce INTRODUCTION The scope of the Valletta Participation Survey (VPS) was to measure the level of participation and interest of the population of Malta and Gozo in cultural activities organised in Valletta as well as their participation in activities organised as part of the Valletta 2018 cultural programme. This survey also provided information on the prevailing perceptions regarding the city of Valletta and to identify and analyse people’s feedback on various issues concerning the strategy of Valletta 2018. Having been carried out for five consecutive years, the VPS also provides a time-series of if and how people’s attitudes, perceptions and attendance patterns changed along these five years. METHODOLOGY Methodology: Sampling and population coverage The target population for this survey involved persons aged 16 years and over, living in private households in the Maltese islands. Every district in Malta was equally covered; however, there was oversampling for Valletta. The selection of the sample was made through stratified random sampling based on three variables, namely sex, age group and district. If we consider the last VPS sample used for the survey which was carried out in May 2018, the targeted population was estimated to be 368,963, as can be seen in Tables 1 and 2.

Of these, 771 were selected randomly from all over Malta, with the exception of Valletta. The rest, that is 237, were selected from Valletta. As in the case of all the VPS waves from 2014 onwards, the oversampling of Valletta residents ensured the production of good quality statistics for this locality.

Dating back 5,000 to 5,500 years ago, these prehistoric temples are among the oldest surviving examples of stone architecture in the world, and have been designated by UNESCO as part of the World Heritage register. The archeological park consists of two temples, Ħaġar Qim and Mnajdra. Mnajdra is located several hundred meters downhill from the Ħaġar Qim temple site. Uncovered in 1839, the temples are constructed of globigerina limestone slabs weighing up to 57 tons. One upright menhir stands 5.2 meters (17.06 feet) high.

    MALTESE E-NEWSLETTER 7 January 2018 1 MALTESE E-NEWSLETTER 7 January 2018 Annual Festivals & Traditions The Maltese Islands have a number of religious festivities and cultural events that take place every year. Feast days are the life of the Islands and some holy days are actually national holidays, such as the feast of Santa Marija in mid-August. Others, such as the harvest festival of Mnarja at the end of June, are steeped in folklore. However, the most important events to all villages are their individual festas, honouring their parish patron saint. Religious holidays, such as Christmas and Easter, are highly celebrated, with the traditional festivities that go along with them. As families tend to be quite close-knit, the holidays are a time to strengthen the sense of community as well as reinforce family bonds. Church services play a large role during this time of year and during the Holy Week of Easter, many flock to the churches in great numbers for the‘seven visits', the visit of seven churches, to pay homage to the Altars of Repose. The festive commemorations are also a time of food, drink and merriment which brings out the Mediterranean roots of the locals. Families prepare large Christmasand Easter lunches; giving thanks for all that they have with their relatives. During these festas the streets are lined with carts, selling a wide assortment of differentfoods as well as the more traditional sweets and delicacies. Introduced relatively recently, cultural events such as the Malta Fireworks Festival, the Malta International Arts Festival, Notte Bianca, the Malta Jazz Festival , the Malta World Music Festival and Mediterranea in Gozo are becoming traditions in their own right.

A total of 46 species of Auchenorrhyncha are reported from the Maltese Islands. They belong to the following families: Cixiidae (3 species), Delphacidae (7 species), Meenoplidae (1 species), Dictyopharidae (1 species), Tettigometridae (2 species), Issidae (2 species), Cicadidae (1 species), Aphrophoridae (2 species) and Cicadellidae (27 species). Since the Auchenorrhyncha fauna of Malta was never studied as such, 40 species reported in this work represent new records for this country and of these, Tamaricella complicata, an eastern Mediterranean species, is confirmed for the European territory. One species, Balclutha brevis is an established alien associated with the invasive Fontain Grass, Pennisetum setaceum. From a biogeographical perspective, the most interesting species are represented by Falcidius ebejeri which is endemic to Malta and Tachycixius remanei, a sub-endemic species so far known only from Italy and Malta. Three species recorded from Malta in the Fauna Europaea database were not found during the present study. KEY WORDS. Malta, Mediterranean, Planthoppers, Leafhoppers, new records. INTRODUCTION The Auchenorrhyncha is represented by a large group of plant sap feeding insects commonly referred to as leafhoppers, planthoppers, cicadas, etc. They occur in all terrestrial ecosystems where plants are present. Some species can transmit plant pathogens (viruses, bacteria and phytoplasmas) and this is often a problem if the host-plant happens to be a cultivated plant.

  • EXECUTIVE SUMMARY to MALTA PROPERTY REPORT. Appendix I
    EXECUTIVE SUMMARY TO MALTA PROPERTY REPORT. Appendix I indicates that affordable residential property in the Maltese Islands with a capital growth rate of 7.1%pa over the past 20 year period has doubled in price every 10years, with plots doubling in value every 5 years over the same period. Table 6 shows that the housing affordability index HAI has improved from 74 in 1992 up to 77 in 2002, after having dipped to 65 in 1997 for a 3-bed/r affordable apartment. The same may be said for a 2-bed/r apartment with an HAI of 111 increasing to 116 over the period 1992 to 2002, after having dipped to 92 in 1997. Measures taken over the immediate 5-year period appear to have stabilized the growth of the affordable property market. However, looking into the growth rate for the period 2001-2002 standing at 5.4%, whilst for 2002-2003 presently standing at 12.3%, this may indicate that the property market is again to be subjected to a price hike unless measures taken, outlined in this report are taken with immediate effect. Table 1 of Appendix II dealing in commercial property indicates that warehousing rental values stand at 66.66% of the European average, office rentals at 27% of the European average, with retail outlets rentals standing at 8 ¼% of the European average. The low rental value of Maltese retail outlets as compared is understandable due to the limited turnover of outlets is understandable, as also is the comparable warehouse rentals being at 2/3’s of the European average should be of no cause for concern.
