It is recommended that council agree to enter into a time limited agreement that includes resource sharing with the government. BACKGROUND In late 2010 the City of Fremantle was contacted by officers from the Department of State Development; by Dr Geoff Raby, Australian Ambassador to China; and Colin Barnett, WA Premier – all requesting that the City considers entering into a sister city relationship with Dalian, China. After further negotiations the sister city arrangement was refined to an historic part of Dalian previously called Port Arthur, now called Lüshunkou. Lüshunkou is a district in the municipality of Dalian, Liaoning province, China. Further information on Lüshunkou is outlined below. It is proposed that the City of Fremantle agree to enter into negotiations for a time limited friendship city arrangement with Lüshunkou, China and that this agreement be jointly negotiated with the Department of State Development.

  • Inclusive Mobility: Improving the Accessibility
    Inclusive Mobility: Improving the Accessibility Public Disclosure Authorized of Road Infrastructure through Public Participation East Asia and Pacific Region Transport, This note describes a number of innovations taken by some Chinese cities, in particular Jinzhou, Liaoning Province, to ensure that urban transport systems are more accessible for the mobility-challenged. Public participation by disabled residents in Liaoning Province in northeast China has increased awareness and consideration for special needs in the design and implementation of road infrastructure. Jinzhou has convened a series of meetings inviting public participation on the issue of improving traffic infrastructure for use by disabled people. With the introduction of some low or no-cost features, the principle of “people first” for urban transport has Public Disclosure Authorized been put into practice. People with mobility impairments in cities around the world have long struggled to have their special needs accommodated in the design of urban infrastructure. The quality of life for citizens is reduced when they cannot take full advantage of roads, sidewalks and other transport facilities. Recently, significant progress has been made in the developed world to consider the needs of those with full or partial disabilities such as blindness and paralysis by implementing a number of features including textured pavements, curb cuts, safety islands, countdown and audible crossing signals. The World Bank has been working with various clients in China to identify ways to effectively introduce public participation in the infrastructure planning and implementation process. A structured Public Disclosure Authorized consultation process can help with particular needs, especially those of pedestrians, bicyclists, and other vulnerable road users that require special attention to detail and coordination between multiple agencies such as designers, builders, operators, maintenance, and law enforcement officials.

Source: http://dutchmarineenergy.com/ Name: Johannes Petrus (Jan) van Zuijlen Student nr: 5610494 Email: [email protected] Utrecht University University supervisors: 1st: Prof. dr. Gert Jan Kramer 2nd: Dr. Paul Schot University innovation supervisor: Dr. Maryse M.H. Chappin ECTS: 30 Company: Dutch Marine Energy Centre Supervisor: Britta Schaffmeister MSc Date: 19/01/2018 2 Abstract Water management has traditionally been focused on water safety, hygiene and agricultural problems, however, given the current need for sustainability in order to combat climate change, the possible production of sustainable energy is a desirable extension of integral water management. Tidal energy is a form of ocean energy which harnesses energy from the tides and has the potential to contribute significantly to sustainable energy solutions in certain coastal regions, thereby reducing carbon emissions and fighting climate change worldwide. Activities surrounding tidal energy have grown substantially over the last 10 years in Europe as well as in the Netherlands, however the technology is diffusing slowly. The aim of this thesis is finding action points that will advance commercialisation of the Dutch tidal energy sector. The method consists of a desk study on the evolution of wind energy in combination with a Technological Innovation System analysis of the Dutch tidal energy sector for which 12 professionals have been interviewed. This study showed that the following three aspects of the tidal energy TIS performance poorly and need attention: Market formation, the creation of legitimacy and knowledge development.

The construction of Dengshahe Industrial Park started in 2006 when a major polluter, Dalian Steel, relocated from the Ganjingzi District and expanded at the new site. Smaller polluters associated with steel production followed, including Air Liquide (Dalian) Co., Ltd. and Dalian Huicheng Aluminum Co., Ltd. Jinzhou Hot-Dip Galvanizing, Ltd. relocated its more polluting production to the new site in Qidingshan Township in 2009 while keeping its less polluting production in Guangming Township. Dagushan Industrial Zone was established in the late 1990s and currently houses Western Pacific Petrochemicals, Fujia Dalian Chemicals, and Dalian Trico Chemical Co., Ltd. The western coast of Jinzhou has been the site of garbage dumps and landfills with solid waste from urban Dalian and urban Jinzhou.

  • Liaoning Sept
    Birding in LIAONING Northeast China 5-26 September 2012 Oriental Honey-buzzard –adult female. Laotie Shan 23 Sept. 2012 Paul Holt, Terry Townshend & Per Alström [email protected] INTRODUCTION A quick perusal of a map of China suggests that the southern point of the Liaodong Peninsula of Liaoning must be an excellent site for witnessing south-bound bird migration. Numerous birds have been seen, and written about, here since the middle of the 19th century (e.g. Swinhoe 1861, Ingram 1909, Seys 1933 and 1936). The area received protection as a National Nature Reserve, the She Dao–Laotie Shan NNR that has a total area 178,073 hectares in 1980 and there have been a series of ringing stations in the reserve for at least a decade, and possibly significantly longer. However the fact that there is a Chinese naval base in the port city of Lushun (Lüshun or Lvshun) meant that foreigners have not been allowed to visit the southernmost tip of the Liaodong Peninsula for decades (perhaps even since the Communist Party came to power in 1949). This situation changed very recently and foreigners are now allowed back to Lushun and beyond, even right to Laotie Shan, the province’s southern tip. Tom Beeke, a Canadian school teacher based at Jinshitan, was the first to advise (via his regular postings on the BirdForum website http://www.birdforum.net/forumdisplay.php?f=544 ) of the opening of the Laotie Shan area and he made several visits in autumn 2010. Beijing based British birder Terry Townshend picked up on this and visited Laotie Shan in February 2012 and again, along with Spike Millington, for over a week in mid-May 2012.

  • Tidal Energy in Korea
    APEC Youth Scientist Journal Vol. 5 TIDAL ENERGY IN KOREA ∗ Jeong Min LEE 1 1 Goyang Global High School, 1112 Wi city 4-ro, Ilsandong-gu, Goyang-si, Gyeonggi-do, Korea 410-821 ABSTRACT Tidal energy is one of the few renewable energy resources Korean government is planning on to implant in Korean Peninsula. Due to its continuity and environmental friendliness, tidal energy is getting its attention as appropriate alternative energy for Korea that can replace conventional fossil fuels. On the other hand, while Korean government is pushing forward to build tidal plants using Korea’s geographical advantages following the construction of tidal plants, many locals are holding demonstrations in order to stop tidal plants from being built. These disputes are holding off government’s original plan to construct tidal plants in Incheon Bay area. In this study, concept of using tidal energy and various methods will be introduced, followed by Korea’s geographical conditions for constructing tidal power plants. Concerning construction of tidal plants in Korea, problems regarding the issue will also be covered. This will provide current status of tidal energy as renewable resource in Korea, and how it will change to impact the country. Keywords: tidal power, geographical advantage, tidal plant sites, ecological impact, conflict ∗ Correspondence to : Jeong Min L EE ([email protected]) - 174 - APEC Youth Scientist Journal Vol. 5 1. INTRODUCTION Energy we use to produce electricity and heat has brought great changes on how we live today. However, nowadays despite successful contribution to improvements of human lives, conventional resources are losing its stature for creating many problems to global society.
