  • On the Diversity of Urban Waterscape J
    Proceedings of the Acoustics 2012 Nantes Conference 23-27 April 2012, Nantes, France On the diversity of urban waterscape J. Kang University of Sheffield, School of Architecture, S10 2TN Sheffield, UK j.kang@sheffield.ac.uk 3533 23-27 April 2012, Nantes, France Proceedings of the Acoustics 2012 Nantes Conference In the last several hundred years the development of Sheffield has been shaped by waterways. In the recent city centre regeneration, starting in the 1990s, great efforts have been made to ensure that the reconnection with the rivers continues to be fostered and their role in the history of the city celebrated. Waterscapes and squares have been embedded into the city for its vibrancy with the respect of the history of Sheffield. This paper examines the soundscape with waterscape along the Gold Route formed in the city centre regeneration project. The changes of waterscape sound levels with frequency and time at different locations of the Gold Route are analysed. Comparisons have also been made between different water features along the Gold Route in terms of psychoacoustic parameters including loudness, roughness, sharpness, and fluctuation strength. A series of field questionnaire surveys in selected locations along the Gold Route have shown that water sounds are the most preferred sounds in the soundscape. 1 Introduction The city’s first settlement developed at the confluence of the Rivers Don and Sheaf, around the 12th century. With the role as a market town at this time, Sheffield had continued to be shaped by waterways. Sheffield’s access to abundant natural resources made it an ideal centre for iron and steel industry, and the rivers contributed considerably to the production and industry of the city development.

  • An Analysis of Group Behaviour and Commenting on Flickr
    An Analysis of Group Behaviour and Commenting on Flickr A study submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Librarianship at THE UNIVERSITY OF SHEFFIELD by Megan Amy Swart September 2008 I Acknowledgements A huge thank you to everyone who supported me through the conduction of this research: specifically, to my tutor Dr Paul Clough for his encouragement, advice and enthusiasm, and to Ambrose, my family and friends – because of whom this summer of writing was much more bearable! Finally, a special thanks to all at the Sheffield Flickr group, I could not have done this without you. II Abstract Background The literature conducted previously on Flickr has emphasised the importance of collaborative tagging, however it has also highlighted an information gap focussing on other popular areas of usage on Flickr such as that of group dynamics and commenting behaviour. Aims This research is an exploratory study of the commenting behaviour within the Sheffield group on Flickr. The aim is to investigate the different types of comments; specifically positive and negative comments that users leave on each others images and to examine the impact of using Flickr groups and such commenting on the photographic practice of the group members. Methods This research employs a mixed-methodology, including a content analysis of 2 sets comments from 100 randomly selected photographs added to the Sheffield group on Flickr. An online questionnaire was also formulated and proposed to the group, of which a response rate of 26 different members was received. In addition, the Flickr API was used to collate data about the individual members of the group including the number of groups joined and the number of contacts they have.

  • South Yorkshire Countryside Directory for People with Disabilities
    South Yorkshire Countryside Directory for People with Disabilities Third Edition Whatever your needs, access to and enjoyment of the countryside is rewarding, healthy and great fun. This directory can help you find out what opportunities are available to you in your area. Get yourself outdoors and enjoy all the benefits that come with it… With a foreword by Lord David Blunkett This directory was designed for people with a disability, though the information included will be useful to everyone. South Yorkshire is a landscape and culture steeped in a history of coal mining, steel industry, agriculture and the slightly more light hearted tradition of butterscotch production in Doncaster! In recent years the major cities and towns have undergone huge transformations but much of the history and industry is still visible today including steel manufacturing in Sheffield, the medieval streets of Rotherham and the weekly town centre market in Barnsley – a tradition held since 1249! For those that enjoy the outdoors, South Yorkshire is equally diverse. You can enjoy the many tracks and trails of the spectacular Peak District National Park or the Trans Pennine Trail, the rolling fields of corn and windmills of Penistone, and the wildfowl delights of Rother Valley Country Park – an opencast coal mine turned local nature reserve. Whatever your chosen form of countryside recreation, whether it’s joining a group, getting out into the countryside on your own, doing voluntary work, or investigating your local wildlife from home, we hope you get as much out of it as we do. There is still some way to go before we have a properly accessible countryside.

  • Geography 497: International Field Study, Summer 2003 Field Trip
    Geography 497: International Field Study, Summer 2003 Field Trip Summary SUNDAY June 22: 7.00 p.m. Dinner, Halifax Hall, Sheffield University. Final pre-trip preparations are discussed in a local pub, conveniently located within 10 minutes walk. MONDAY, June 23: 7.30 a.m. Breakfast. 9.15 a.m. We begin by walking towards Endcliffe Park and Whiteley Woods where Shepherd Wheel is located. On the way, we pass some Victorian housing and at the junction of Ecclesall Road, Hunter’s Bar, now covered by trees, is the site of a former toll gate (really toll house). Hunter’s Bar was erected around 1700 as part of a turnpike trust to charge road users for the upkeep of the road. There were 10 turnpike trusts controlling 16 toll gates in Sheffield. Hunter’s Bar was the last to close in 1884. Photo 1: Geography 497 in Endcliffe Park. Parks for recreational purposes are a long established, widespread feature of the Sheffield landscape found throughout the city (outside of the central area). Part of the Sheffield web-based promotional literature claims the city is one of the greenest in Europe, including 78 public parks, 10 gardens and 170 woodlands. Many of the parks are large. Photo 2: Shepherd Wheel 9.52 a.m. Shepherd Wheel is on the Porter River, Whiteley Woods. The site comprises cutlery grinding and polishing operations and a water wheel. The latter which provided power for grinding stones (made out of local sandstone) was driven by a dam created by diverting water from the Porter River.
