Reijndorp Second supervisor Dr. Ir. C.J.M. Karsten Co Tutor MSc. C. Yang Date August 2013 Name Lysanne ter Brugge (5732247) Egelantiersgracht 550A 1015 RR Amsterdam [email protected] 0648626109 i Foreword This thesis is the conclusion of my master Human Geography at the University of Amsterdam. After an intensive year of learning about cities, places, people and human activities, it was time to write my thesis. Luckily, I had the opportunity to let many of my interests come together in this thesis: new urban cities, time use, international orientation and my curiosity to understand different cultural views. The topic about urban Chinese middle class families has kept me interested until the end. I could not have written this thesis without the help of others. First, I would like to thank my supervisor professor Arnold Reijndorp and his co-tutor MSc. Ching Wen Yang, who provided me valuable input to get back on track when I felt lost in the topic. Furthermore, I would like to thank INTI for providing us the opportunity and financial support to do research in Shenzhen. Furthermore, I am grateful to all the anonymous Chinese respondents for their cooperation. The many inspiring interviews gave me insight in the lives of these middle class families in Shenzhen. I would like to thank all the student translators, for helping me with translating and giving essential knowledge about the cultural differences. Next, I would like to thank my parents for their support. I also would like to thank my friends for listening and support. Lastly, I would like to thank my co-students, who accompanied me in the past months at the UB, for their uplifting support and for giving me the energy to finish this project. ii Abstract The economic boom in China caused an enormous economic growth with a new emerging middle class. Shenzhen is one of the new cities that have bloomed into a successful metropolis where facilities for the middle class largely determine the image of the city. The importance of this research is to give insight in the daily-organized outdoor activities of the middle class families with young children in Shenzhen. The free time of the families appears to be limited and is mainly spend together with the family. The chosen activities are determined by tradition, ambitions and location. The families decide activities on these educational and traditional aspects, which imply an extreme focus on the development of their child. Furthermore the families prefer activities that are located close to their residential place and are safe and child friendly. These places provide a concentration of different activities. By doing qualitative research in the form of interviews with local families and the observation of their activities, I contribute to a better understanding of the new emerging middle class families in Shenzhen and their related ambitions and motives, which can be derived from their daily outdoor activities.

    Breaking down Barriers between Physical and Virtual Spaces in Public Libraries -- Leading Practices in Guangdong Province of China Liu Honghui and Huang Qunqing Sun Yat-sen Library of Guangdong Province 213 Wenming Road, Guangzhou 510110, China Abstract The future of public libraries seems foreseeable through leading practices in Guangdong Province, of which the economy development is first ranked and Internet popularity third ranked nationwide. In new buildings, computers are placed in traditional reading rooms together with print collections. On websites, virtual visitors are able to enjoy lectures or exhibitions happening in physical spaces. In Microblog or WeChat communities, netizens not visiting library websites can also be informed. We find that barriers between physical and virtual spaces have been broken down; most of the resources and activities could be accessed by users inside or outside the library. Introduction According to a report published in early 2013, the economic gross in Guangdong Province has been ranked the first for 24 years continuously among all provinces nationwide [1]. Favored from financial support of the government, public libraries in Guangdong Province have been taking leading achievement in both physical spaces and virtual spaces.

  • 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.

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.
