    ASIAN ACCOUNTS OF AUSTRALIA: CHANGE, COMPARISON, AND ANALYSIS A Joint project between the Australian National University and the National Library of Australia under the auspices of the Australian Research Council Strategic Partnerships with Industry Research and Training Scheme. TITLE: Post-1980 Japanese Monographs (58 titles in total). RESEARCH CONTRIBUTION BY: Manabu Kawakatsu DATE OF COMPLETION: 01/08/2001 ©**** 2 PREFACE: The National Library of Australia (NLA) has very large holdings of Asian material, in English, in Asian languages, and in Asian scripts. The ASIAN ACCOUNTS OF AUSTRALIA project received resources in 2000-2002 from the Australian Research Council and the NLA to examine this collection of ‘Australiana’ in Chinese and Japanese. A pilot project in 1999 had identified the most promising material as being in monographs and periodicals in both languages and, in the case of Chinese, in both traditional and simplified characters. In order further to narrow the amount of material to be examined to fit within the resources of the project, researchers were asked to concentrate on monographs and periodical articles dealing with Australia in the following categories: • Australia as a place of settlement • Australia as exotic • Australia as a model • Australia/Asia geopolitical commentary • Culture, both high and low • Economics, trade and industrial relations • Indigenous Australia • Politics • Tourism • One Nation and Pauline Hanson • An Australian republic • Sydney Olympic games The material covered was divided chronologically as follows: Chinese: Periodicals (simplified characters) 1995-2001 (traditional characters) 1986-2000 Monographs (simplified characters) 1973-1999 (traditional characters) 1947-2000 Japanese: Periodicals (general) 1987-2001 (Nichigo Press) 1995-2000 Monographs 1881-1979 Monographs 1980-2001 Researchers made brief synopses of material in these categories and periodicals, which are attached to their bibliographical details.

In the Australian context, a rising number of alcohol and drug-related incidents in and around these settings have resulted in a renewed focus on how these negative outcomes can be more effectively controlled. In order to aid those charged with the task of addressing this matter— event and venue managers, police, security firms, alcohol and drug regulatory bodies, and govern- ments at all levels—this article seeks to identify those variables with the potential to impact this management issue. Further, it aims to provide the previously identified stakeholders with a deeper appreciation of the raft of practices that are currently in use, and potentially available to them, as they build responses to this challenge at the individual state, precinct, venue, or event level. The research approach used involved an extensive literature review and a series of in-depth interviews with key stakeholders across three states—New South Wales, Victoria, and Western Australia. Key words: Drugs and alcohol; Events and venues; Regulation; Enforcement; Control practices Introduction has resulted from the rising number of incidents of individual harm, violence, and community disrup- Pressure from the broader community on key stake- tion that have occurred in and around these settings.

    unesco creative cities membership monitoring report 2015-17 MEMBERSHIP MONITORING REPORT GENERAL INFORMATION. CONTRIBUTION TO THE NETWORK’S GLOBAL MANAGEMENT. MAJOR INITIATIVES IMPLEMENTED AT LOCAL LEVEL. MAJOR INITIATIVES IMPLEMENTED THROUGH INTER-CITY COOPERATION. PROPOSED ACTION PLAN. ANGELINA JOLIE AT THE SYDNEY PREMIER OF UNBROKEN CONTENTS. 2015-17 MEMBERSHIP MONITORING REPORT With support from the NSW Government, the City of Sydney, and key screen industry stakeholders, Sydney was awarded the UNESCO City of Film designation in December 2010. The existing screen infrastructure in Sydney and the diversity and value of film culture of Sydney was a major reason for the success of Sydney’s bid. It placed Sydney as the second City of Film in the UCCN. As the specialist agency in screen matters, management of the status of the City of Film was given to the former agency Screen NSW, with the agreement of the City of Sydney and the support of the NSW Government and former Minister for the Arts. The UNESCO Creative City designation is consistent with the aims of the NSW Creative Industries Action Plan, which seeks to ensure that NSW, through Sydney, is recognised as a global creative centre and leader in creative industries. Sydney and its surrounds continue to be the location for high levels of both international and local production and post-production, as well as many Australian TV dramas. NSW is the dominant state for screen production in Australia with more than 60% of Australian production and post-production businesses located in here. With a suite of funding opportunities for the professional production sector, from early development to production finance and a range of industry development programs, the organization supports the continued growth and development of a creative sector that returns significant economic benefits, large numbers of jobs and high cultural and social returns to the community.

  • 55 000 Years and Counting
    55000 years and counting: celebrating our shared history South Australian Education Pack ....Where Aboriginal Australians have been included in the life of Australia they have made remarkable contributions—economic contributions, particularly in the pastoral and agricultural industry. They are there in the frontier and exploration history of Australia. They are there in the wars. In sport to an extraordinary degree. In literature and art and music. In all these things they have shaped our knowledge of this continent and of ourselves. They have shaped our identity. They are there in the Australian legend. We should never forget—they helped build this nation. Former Prime Minister Paul Keating, Redfern Park, Sydney, 10 December 1992. 230409Reco Edu Cov Red 09.B.indd 2 22/4/09 10:19:32 PM FOREWORD The theme for this education pack is 55 000 years and counting: celebrating “ our shared history. The idea of Australia as a young nation continues to be challenged as the country embraces the ancient and ongoing cultures of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, the traditional custodians of this land. Acknowledging the nexus between this shared history and the fabric of contemporary Australia is critical for us as a society to forge a future, together. As educators, our role as custodians of knowledge is a profound privilege. With this privilege comes an equally profound responsibility to share this knowledge in a responsible way that encourages our students to acquire an understanding of the relevance and a respect for the factual integrity of the knowledge through inquiry. In all that we do we should have at the forefront of our minds the qualities that our students should embody as a result of the knowledge they acquire to empower them to actively participate in society as responsible citizens.

  • THE CULTURAL REINVENTION of PLANNING by Gregory
    THE CULTURAL REINVENTION OF PLANNING by Gregory Young MA (Syd), Dip Urb Studs (Macq), MPHA, MPIA A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the Doctor of Philosophy Faculty of the Built Environment University of New South Wales THE CULTURAL REINVENTION OF PLANNING Abstract THE CULTURAL REINVENTION OF PLANNING Culture is expanding and has greater weight and explanatory potential in our culturalised age. Following the earlier literature of the ‘cultural turn’, culture is now perceived as ubiquitous in society, the economy, and theory, and with the capacity to intervene on itself. Further, it may be seen to characterise both the nature and the progressive potential of a range of contemporary social and intellectual technologies such as planning, education, health, and organisational development. While this general process of ‘culturalisation’ proceeds apace, the capacity of culture to act as an organising idea and category for sectors such as planning is still largely underdeveloped, most particularly in planning itself. A new Culturised Model for planning that is reflexive and ethical is proposed. Differentiated from the trend to culturalisation and its association with commodification, ‘culturisation’ has true sustainable and transformational potential. The thesis consists of three main parts – each of three chapters - with a substantial scene- setting Introduction and a Conclusion. Part One examines culture and planning, Part Two develops a new Culturised Model for planning, and Part Three illustrates the Model. In Part One the grounds of culturisation are prepared by: 1) describing our culturalised age; 2) developing a new positionality for planning; 3) presenting a critical analysis of neomodern and postmodern planning theory; and 4) outlining an original history of culture and planning in the 20 th and 21 st centuries.

  • Factors That Influence Engagement in On-Site Environmentally Responsible
    Factors that influence engagement in on-site environmentally responsible behaviours at music festivals Marisol Alonso Vazquez Bachelor in Foreign Trade Master in Marketing A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Queensland in 2014 Business School i Abstract The study of on-site environmentally responsible behaviours at outdoor events is important because of the negative environmental degradation that may be caused when hosting these events. Studying these behaviours is especially important at music festivals that are held in protected areas, and/or for festival managers who have an interest in controlling the events’ negative environmental impacts. Despite recent interest by event managers in developing strategies to encourage attendees’ environmentally responsible behaviours, this task is still a challenge because attendees may be disinterested in behaving pro-environmentally in the music festival context. Given this, event managers need to find novel ways to encourage attendees to participate more in on-site environmentally responsible behaviours. To contribute toward finding alternative ways to encourage more participation, this research investigated the major psychographic factors that influence attendees’ engagement in on-site environmentally responsible behaviours at music festivals. To identify these factors, the following research activities were carried out: phone interviews with music festival managers (10 participants); two online questionnaires (pre-visit and post-visit to festivals) across multiple music festivals (1,313 and 420 participants, respectively); and on-site interviews with attendees at a three-day music festival located near an Australian national park (81 participants). The findings of this study reveal that event managers consider it important to build a pro- environmental culture into their event communities in order to capitalise on attendees’ sense of community that may support environmentally responsible behaviours.
