First question. LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL ― 22 November 2017 2735 Implementation of pilot projects relating to smart cities 1. MR MARTIN LIAO (in Cantonese): The Government is currently inviting views from various stakeholders and sectors of society on the Report of Consultancy Study on Smart City Blueprint for Hong Kong submitted by a consultant in June this year, and it expects to publish a smart city blueprint in the third quarter of next year. The recommendations put forward in the aforesaid Report include the implementation of small-scale trials, such as the setting up of a smart region living lab by the Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks Corporation in collaboration with The Chinese University of Hong Kong for the purpose of assessing the practicality of different pilot projects under the local environment and operational constraints. In fact, quite a number of public and private organizations have separately or jointly implemented a number of small-scale trials relating to smart cities. For example, the Hong Kong Productivity Council has, on its own, researched and developed smart street lamps and a wireless charger for electric vehicles, and The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology has joined hands with a Mainland car hailing software company to promote the transfer of research and technology achievements in the area of intelligent transport systems. In this connection, will the Government inform this Council: (1) whether it knows the details of the pilot projects relating to smart cities being carried out separately or jointly by public and private organizations in Hong Kong at present; if so, set out by project name in a table the contents of the various projects and the amounts of subsidies provided by the Government (if any); (2) whether it will proactively contact the organizations mentioned in (1), so as to collect the data obtained from their trials and, through appropriate procedure, make use of such data to take forward the work on the development of a smart city; and (3) as it has been reported that the pilot projects on cashless transactions, unmanned driving, etc. to be carried out in the aforesaid smart region living lab need about three to five years to complete, whether the Government will consider publishing a smart city blueprint only after all such pilot projects have been completed and the relevant data have been thoroughly analysed; if so, of the details; if not, the reasons for that? 2736 LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL ― 22 November 2017 SECRETARY FOR INNOVATION AND TECHNOLOGY (in Cantonese): President, the Government has been actively developing smart city, by making use of innovation and technology to address urban challenges, enhance city management, improve people's quality of living as well as Hong Kong's attractiveness to global businesses and talents, so as to drive sustainable economic development. The consultant engaged by the Office of the Government Chief Information Officer ("OGCIO") submitted its study report on smart city blueprint in mid-2017. The consultant recommended a series of short-, medium- and long-term initiatives under six areas, namely Smart Mobility, Smart Living, Smart Environment, Smart People, Smart Government and Smart Economy, as well as in promoting further opening up of data. We briefed the Legislative Council Panel on Information Technology and Broadcasting in July 2017 and conducted public consultation in August and September 2017. Various sectors gave very positive responses to the consultancy report and hope that the Government could announce the smart city blueprint earlier. In view of such, the Chief Executive announced in the Policy Address that we will advance the announcement of the smart city blueprint to within this year. Prior to that, we will invest $700 million to take forward three key infrastructure projects for smart city development, namely providing an electronic identity for all Hong Kong residents, launching a pilot Multi-functional Smart Lampposts scheme and reforming the development technology of e-Government systems and building a big data analytics platform. The Chief Executive will personally chair the newly established Steering Committee on Innovation and Technology, which will steer and examine measures under the eight areas of innovation and technology development and smart city projects, with a view to driving the innovation and technology and smart city development of Hong Kong in a highly effective manner. My reply to the three parts of the question is as follows: (1) Successful smart city development not only depends on the work of the Government, the participation of public and private organizations are also important. Various government departments, as well as public and private organizations, have been using innovation and technology to improve services and enhance the efficiency of city management.

Observed versus Expected Match- Running Outputs of International Female Rugby Sevens Players A thesis submitted to Massey University, Albany, New Zealand, in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Sport and Exercise Kirsty Yallop 2018 Primary Supervisor: Associate Professor Andrew Foskett Co-Supervisor: Associate Professor Ajmol Ali 1 Abstract Women’s rugby sevens is a new and emerging sport with limited knowledge, specifically on international female match-running outputs. It is a rare opportunity to conduct research on elite athletes, and even more so for an emerging women’s sport. The overall aim of this thesis is to establish and compare observed international female rugby sevens players’ match-running outputs versus theoretical expected match-running outputs (elite male players and an established sport, football). Another unknown aspect of the women’s rugby sevens game is how fatigue affects performance. The thesis also determines differences in match-running outputs of international female rugby sevens players from half-to-half, game-to-game and tournament-to-tournament. Global Positioning System (GPS) units worn on the players’ backs were used to collect data from 18 female rugby sevens players across 15 matches and 19 female football players across four matches. Reasons for the gaps found in match-running outputs and aspects that could be improved for optimal elite performance in female rugby sevens were explored.

  • Chapter 2 Quality City and Quality Life
    Chapter 2 Quality City And Quality Life Preamble The development of Hong Kong into a knowledge-based economy requires talent from around the world, and a quality city life is essential to attracting talent. The concept of “Progressive Development” advocated by the Chief Executive is to develop a quality city life by striking a balance between economic development and environmental protection and conservation. In the arena of environmental protection, we launched a basket of new initiatives in areas such as air quality improvement, waste management and promoting a low-carbon economy and lifestyle. Environmental protection is a long-term and continuing commitment. The Government will continue to promote regional co-operation to improve air quality within the region, and to develop the PRD Region into a green and quality living area. Global warming is an international concern. We will meet the challenge of climate change with early planning. In particular, we will enhance energy effi ciency and promote a low carbon economy — an economy based on low energy consumption and low pollution. Moreover, we will strengthen our cultural software, develop our audience base, and support more small and medium arts groups to tie in with the development of the West Kowloon Cultural District, which is proceeding as planned. 28 Quality City And Quality Life We will also continue our efforts to beautify the shoreline of Victoria Harbour by turning it into a landmark to be enjoyed by locals and visitors alike. 29 Quality City And Quality Life New Initiatives We will: • Oversee the progressive launch of digital audio broadcasting services by three commercial licensees and Radio Television Hong Kong as from late 2011/early 2012.

  • Chapter 5 Provision of Aquatic Recreational and Sports Facilities
    Chapter 5 Provision of aquatic recreational and sports facilities Audit conducted a review to examine the provision and management of aquatic recreational and sports facilities by the Leisure and Cultural Services Department (LCSD) and to ascertain whether there were areas for improvement. Gazetted beaches 2. According to paragraph 2.4(a) of the Audit Report, a consultant, who carried out a coastal safety audit on the beaches of Hong Kong in 2000, had advised that the Rocky Bay Beach should be deleted from the list of gazetted beaches because of safety reason and low usage. However, the LCSD considered that de-gazetting beaches was a sensitive issue and decided not to take further action. The Committee asked about the sensitivity of the de-gazetting and whether the LCSD would de-gazette the beach. 3. In response, Ms Anissa WONG Sean-yee, Director of Leisure and Cultural Services, said that: - in deciding to close the Rocky Bay Beach because of its poor water quality, the Administration had considered whether the beach should be de-gazetted. At that time, the Administration was of the view that it should consider the development of the beach water quality. It was also concerned that the relevant District Council and beach goers might consider that they might need to observe the development of the issue for a period of time; and - taking into account the current situation of the water quality, the usage of the beach, as well as other factors, such as the usage rate of the Shek O Beach, the LCSD agreed in principle to Audit’s recommendation that the Rocky Bay Beach be de-gazetted.
