    Risk Assesments

    The Football Spectators Act was introduced in 1989 because of the incident at Hillsborough which lead to many people being killed. The Hillsborough disaster occurred during the FA Cup semi-final between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest on the 15th April. This was where 96 people died due to a lack of attention on the steward’s behalf. This was because they had opened up a tunnel leading into one of the stands and this was unmanned which meant that many people could walk in without the stewards knowing how many people were in the tunnel and in the stand. This mad rush of people meant that supporters were being crushed and some fans even climbed over the fences or were lifted up by fellow supporters onto the stand above to escape the crushing. Soon after the match started the crush barrier broke and fans began to fall on top of each other. The game was stopped after 6 minutes of play. Some fans tore down advertisement to use as stretchers and emergency services were called to provide assistance. This act is there to control the admission of spectators at designated football matches in England and Wales.…

    Boy Band Concert Experiments

    As a result of back-to-front pushing throughout the general admission floor, the system as a whole experiences an intense at best and violent at worst squeeze towards the front of the stage. In a more peaceful general admission floor at a boy band concert, there might just be some intense pushing. However, on more violent days, the increasing density of the crowd, increased unwanted physical interactions between members and the irritation of individual members could cause escalation into physical violence that dampens the excitement and happiness of the crowd and the concert as a…

    Social Life of Small Urban Space

    It has been approved that people like to get involved in social life. They are interested of being a part of the universal. The study of Whyte agrees with that. Observing what other people are doing is a valuable tool used by the majority of people to understand the behavior of others. Public plaza is a good example to practice that so when isolating people and not allowing them to observe, the public place will not have any meaning. Forcing people to sit in certain way without any connection with other activity is boring so people try to avoid it (Almansoour). The direct area in front of a building should always communicate with the buildings form, entryways and design style. A building that lacks communication with the street level will be perceived of as cold and uninviting (Perry).…

    What Are the Causes of and the Solutions of Violence on Sport Events?

    There is violence not only on the field, but as well in the audience. There are people who tend to create conflict on the basis of different opinions. Imagine a situation when somebody sitting next to you is yelling at the players, distracting you from the game, making the whole situation uncomfortably awkward. You stand up and let that annoying person know that he should stop. He gets aggressive, and begins to attack you. Violence is right there. If you are lucky, then comes the security and helps you. Well, not in all cases. Sometimes you can get even seriously injured. Now the question, how can you prevent this from happening? However much I try to figure out the solution I cannot think of anything. People are people, you cannot sit them down and have them take a personality test before they enter the stadium. You just have to trust in their good, and maybe a security would be a good help to have available to the public…

    Unplanned Housing in Dhaka City: Finding Solutions

    Human beings are by nature “House Dwellers”. Prehistoric people, leaving cave, started living in houses. From huts to modern skyscrapers, people build houses for safety, shelter and comfort. But, human cannot build nestle in trees like birds, they need lands. So, with the increase of population, land scarcity increases, problem arises. Sometimes people use lands to make habitable without any pre-plan. This type of unplanned housing leads to misuse of total habitable land and also unnecessarily decreases cultivable lands. In a country like Bangladesh, population is increasing at such an alarming rate that, in near future, living in sea can also become necessary. Especially in Dhaka, the situation is more complicated. As, Bangladesh couldn’t decentralize her capital, people from all over the country rush to Dhaka in search of better opportunity. As a result, almost one fifteenth of the population lives in one certain city. Dhaka is ranked 19th among the megacities by population and this population will reach to 26 million within 2025 if it remains uncontrolled. To accommodate this huge stream of people, unplanned residential areas came into being. Aristocratic people possessed more than sufficient land for their palaces whereas, poor people could only manage small slums to accommodate huge. Moreover, commercial areas overlapped in residential areas and total environment has become hazardous. Now the scenario is, one part of Dhaka shows the glamour of modern life with modern housing facilities, where, below the light, darkness resides in the highly increasing number of unplanned slums. So, Dhaka is now a city of people and people everywhere with no place to feel safe to reside. So, it has become a must to re-plan Dhaka again for Healthy living.…

    Walkability Index Analysis

    Ideally, pedestrian links should include formal and informal tracks, including sidewalks, laneways, pedestrian bridges, and park trails that are informal but regularly used for transportation. The missing pedestrian paths in the street network databases are likely to be the ones that are frequently used and which greatly increase the connectivity of discrete destinations. Most studies on accessibility and connectivity use street networks only in their studies, which may provide an incomplete description and prediction of walking behaviors, especially for a campus setting. For this study, in addition to use of traditional street networks, we developed a pedestrian network dataset by digitizing CUHK campus maps supplemented by field surveys. From these data, a pedestrian map was designed, with each road segment being numbered, to allow subjects to record detailed information on their use of the pedestrian…

    A Good City Is Like Lastly By Jan Gehl

    It has re-conclude his statement about “self-reinforcing” on interaction or mutual support among individuals towards the public space. Therefore, according to Gehl, the unique and inspirational methods of investigation and evaluation of public space, one can say that his concern on human body, movement, sense, interaction and behavior has become an important prerequisite for city planning that is effective not only in Copenhagen but also in worldwide ranges. As for the case of Hong Kong, one can observe that the public space is more alive and inviting in the older areas, such as Temple Streets in Yau Ma Tei or Li Yuen Street in Sheung Wan, where there are plenty of interactions among residents and pass-byes. Public social life is one of the essential elements of these areas. However, in the highly developed or continuing developing and expanding areas, like Admiralty or some places in New Territories, the use of public space is decreasing with the tendency that the building and the units are getting bigger and bigger, while humans remain slow and small. The type of incompatibility may eventually fail in creating successful public space.…
