However, there is a deficit of local green infrastructure and open space provision and developers will be required to provide provision in line with the standards identified in the Cambridgeshire Green Infrastructure Strategy. This landscape and public realm framework seeks to consolidate the existing green assets into a network consisting of two parts; green ‘fingers’, pathways that connect the town to the surrounding landscape, and routes that connect between these fingers, creating an integrated network of green spaces. Littleport Green infrastructure is important as it can provide functions and benefits beyond recreational space, such as improved flood resilience, sustainable drainage, Masterplan urban cooling and links for biodiversity. 28 Train station River Great Ouse C o u n t r y s Key views id e Existing housing site allocations Existing employment site allocations Area of search for potential new access into development area Potential informal leisure use Environment Agency Flood Zone 3 1 in 100 or greater chance of happening each year Environment Agency Flood Zone 2 1 in 1000 chance of happening each year Public Open Space Existing Cemetery County Wildlife Site Proposed Community Orchard National Inventory of Woodland and Trees Traditional Orchards Green ‘fingers’ connecting town to countryside Green connectors between ‘fingers’ 400m (5 min walk) and 800m (10 min walk) radius Conservation area boundary Listed buildings New Primary School (3rd) option Preferred site for new Secondary School Area of existing employment Walking/cycling areas Existing Primary School New cemetery site Community centre Medical centre Littleport Wastewater Tr eatment Works Safeguarding Area (400m) Cleanaway Depot Waste Management Consultation Area (250m) What is the plan?

I sought out unusual items relating to villages and areas of Cambridge not usually featured These stories are from issues of the Cambridge Daily/Evening/Weekly News of 1897-1990 I can supply actual copies of many of these articles – please contact me. The full set of articles, numbering over 3,000 pages is available at bit.ly/CambsCollection The newspapers are held in the Cambridgeshire Collection together with other Cambridge titles back to 1762. They have a variety of indexes including a record of stories for every village in Cambridgeshire between 1770-1900 and newspaper cuttings files on 750 topics from 1958 to date. I initiated much of the indexing and have many indexes of my own. Please feel free to contact me for advice and assistance. For more details of newspapers and other sources for Cambridgeshire history see my website www.mikepetty.org.uk This index was produced as a part of my personal research resources and would benefit by editing. If you can make any of it work for you I am delighted. But remember you should always check everything! Please make what use of it you may. Please remember who it came from Mike Petty.

  • Identification of Hedonomic Road Landscape in Lithuania
    Aplinkos tyrimai, inžinerija ir vadyba, 2010. Nr. 4(54), P. 72-78 ISSN 2029-2139 Environmental Research, Engineering and Management, 2010. No.4(54), P. 72-78 (On-line) Identification of Hedonomic Road Landscape in Lithuania Irina Matijošaitienė Department of Architecture and Land Management, Kaunas University of Technology (received in November, 2010, accepted in December, 2010) Hedonomics is quite a new branch of science which is closely related to ergonomics – where ergonomic needs, such as safety, functionality, usability, and hedonomic needs such as pleasurable experience and personal perfection just begin. Further analysis of the subject literature, and comparison of the facts about hedonomics allow us perceive hedonomic roadscape as a pleasurable roadscape. Since it is not clear how to identify hedonomic or pleasurable roadscape, the interdisciplinary roadscape evaluation method is proposed in the paper. The method is based on an assumption of a concept of hedonomic road landscape as an aspiration. The proposed method consists of a preparatory field research of roadscape including road landscape research and photo-fixation on the site, a survey method selection, questionnaires formation using Kansei engineering and SD (semantic differential) technique and a main research including sociological research and using cluster and contingency analysis. The author also identifies hedonomic and non- hedonomic landscape of main Lithuanian arterial roads which are labeled as European arterial roads and corridors of the network of European roads except for bypasses. Key words: road landscape (roadscape), hedonomic, cluster analysis, contingency analysis, Kansei engineering method, semantic differential method (SD technique). 1. Introduction A distinctive culture of travelling by car started to look wider at roadscape and its identification, and to develop in the USA at the beginning of the 20th to develop a solution at psychological, economic, century.
