  • Understanding User Needs
    DESIGN & BEST PRACTICES 76 Adding Value to Parks Through Understanding User Needs Adding Value to Parks Through Understanding User Needs Text by Victor Tan Images as credited For city dwellers who live in countries endowed with scenic countrysides and landscapes, some travelling would get them away from the urban surroundings. In Singapore, visiting parks is perhaps the most practical way of staying close to nature. The presence of parks contributes to the quality of life in different ways. Besides the environmental and ecological benefits, parks bring notable social and psychological benefits to city dwellers, and are increasingly recognised as an important component of a liveable urban environment. While such benefits can be generalised, a park is seldom the same to two different park users. In fact, a park is almost never designed to cater to a single group of users, but rather, planned to cater to a diverse group of park users within its population catchment. Sometimes, park design is also influenced by its inherent environ- mental, social or heritage features. However, it is rare for post-design and post-construc- tion studies to be conducted to evaluate if the original design intents of parks have been met through park usage and user perception studies, largely because landscape architects are seldom ABOvE Tree-top Walk in Central Catchment Nature Reserve (Photo: National Parks Board, Singapore). involved in the post-construction management opposite, top LEFT & RIGHT West Coast Park (Photos: National Parks Board, Singapore). of parks. opposite, Bottom Jacob Ballas Children’s Garden in Singapore Botanic Gardens (Photo: National Parks Board, Singapore).

  • Chapter 1: Introduction and Background
    A GEOGRAPHICAL ANALYSIS OF AIR HUBS IN SOUTHEAST ASIA HAN SONGGUANG (B. Soc. Sci. (Hons.)), NUS A THESIS SUBMITTED FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF SOCIAL SCIENCES DEPARTMENT OF GEOGRAPHY NATIONAL UNIVERSITY OF SINGAPORE 2007 A Geographical Analysis of Air Hubs in Southeast Asia ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS It seemed like not long ago when I started out on my undergraduate degree at the National University of Singapore and here I am at the conclusion of my formal education. The decision to pursue this Masters degree was not a straightforward and simple one. Many sacrifices had to be made as a result but I am glad to have truly enjoyed and benefited from this fulfilling journey. This thesis, in many ways, is the culmination of my academic journey, one fraught with challenges but also laden with rewards. It also marks the start of a new chapter of my life where I leave the comfortable and sheltered confines of the university into the “outside world” and my future pursuit of a career in education. I would like to express my heartfelt thanks and gratitude to the following people, without whom this thesis would not have been possible: I am foremost indebted to Associate Professor K. Raguraman who first inspired me in the wonderful field of transport geography from the undergraduate modules I did under him. His endearing self, intellectual guidance, critical comments and helpful suggestions have been central to the completion of this thesis. A special word of thanks to you Ragu, my supervisor, mentor, inspiration and friend. All faculty members at the Department of Geography, NUS who have taught me (hopefully well enough!) during my undergraduate and postgraduate days in the university and enabled me to see the magic behind the discipline that is Geography.

  • Here's RAF Changi – New Arrivals Booklet 1969 Page 1 of 30
    Here's RAF Changi – New Arrivals Booklet 1969 Page 1 of 30 INTRODUCTION Changi is the location of one of three RAF Stations on the Island of Singapore. Section 2 of this booklet describes the Station in some detail. Another major section offers important advice and information about your health in Singapore and Malaysia. The booklet is intended to help you, the newcomer, during those first weeks at RAF Changi when you are trying to adjust yourself to a new job as well as grappling with a new climate and finding your way around. Should your family be with you - or when you call them forward later - they, too, will find much of interest in this booklet. Not only are official matters covered but many amenities and club activities are also described and these form an important feature of overseas service. I hope you will be able to find at least one new interest or activity whilst you are on the Island. It is important that the reader of this booklet understands that we at RAF Changi are guests of the people of Singapore. We employ a considerable number of local civilian staff in all grades, and you will probably meet uniformed members of the Royal Air Force (Malaya). With these points in mind, you will find useful reading in those sections that describe the multi-racial people of Singapore and the amenities that its island Republic offers. Getting to know the Singaporeans, their customs and their country - as well as the neighbouring country of Malaysia - is part of the pleasure of an overseas tour in the Far East Air Force.
