Analysis of Public Recreational Needs by User Population in South-Eastern Nigeria

This paper examined the recreational needs of the user population in South-eastern Nigeria. The study considered educational status, public awareness, degree of awareness, public recreational options, extant open space services, and reasons for low usage of available recreational facilities. The study was carried out using descriptive statistics, use of weights and relative mean scare analysis. The study showed a general loss of interest in the available public recreational facilities and services, thus leading to disregard of public recreational open spaces. This fact prompts a high rate of conversion of public recreational spaces in South-Eastern Nigeria for other uses. There is therefore the need to provoke users’ interest through classical advertisements, posting of bills and publication in both local and national dailies, particularly on the implication of converting recreational spaces in the areas being advertised. This calls for the need for public enlightenment plans in the likes of orientation programs, seminars, symposiums, recreation outreach courses and educating the masses at various levels, on the need to recreate and participate actively on public open space activities. Keywords: Recreation, open space services, public recreation, users, recreational facilities.

ERZURUM KENTSEL AÇIK YEŞİL ALANLARINDA MEYVE AĞAÇLARININ KULLANIMI

As in many countries, as a result of the rapid population growth in Turkey, distorted urbanization occurs in cities. Due to this process, the people of the city are becoming deprived of nature day by day. For the urban people who want to find opportunities to meet the need for recreation but cannot find it in urban living spaces, residential gardens, children playgrounds, parks, botanical gardens and such places located in outdoor green area systems, these places undertake a significant role. The vegetation used in these areas seen as an essential element for providing a natural environment. In this study, plant materials used in plant design applications which constitute the urban open-green area system determined in Erzurum city, the plant material used in the main streets, public institution gardens, park and recreation areas, villa gardens, detached residential gardens and site-public housing gardens, were analyzed. Within the survey study conducted and other outdoor plants to the city investigated. With this study, the usage of fruit trees in Erzurum city determined and its contribution to the city and its aesthetics discussed. As a result of the analyzes carried out in this scope, 14932 plants counted in 6 different area usage types. 1716 out of 4292 plants used in the main streets, 910 out of 3426 plants in public institution gardens, 615 out of 3289 plants in park and recreation areas, 476 out of 949 plants in villa gardens, 311 out of 445 plants in detached residential gardens, 1114 out of 2531 plants in site- public housing gardens were determined to be fruit trees. In all land use types, it investigated that fruit tree usage rate among broadleaf trees is 48.85%, 43.88% in main streets,50.50% in public gardens, 30.40% in park and recreation areas, 76.77% in villa gardens 4.64% in detached residential gardens and 61.68% in site-public housing gardens. Research results show that fruity trees are preferred in independent living spaces regardless of income.

METANARASI SEKS DALAM MAHANIRWANA TANTRA

Sex is a part of life, and even becomes an important part of survival, so that sex is used as a symbol of the cosmos, apart from that, sex is also divided into two, first, the need for procreation, and second, for recreational needs, this is where the problem is when sex it is only used as a recreational need, for the sake of pleasure alone, and to indulge in excessive lust for lack of proper knowledge of sex itself. So, Mahanirwana Tantra is present as a middle way to provide metanarations, that sex is considered to be very extraordinary, more than just sexual intercourse or lust, but a union of energies from two different universal elements, purusha and prakerti. The view of sex in mahanirvana tantra is to be able to provide truth and straighten out general views on the narrative of sex itself, as well as the correct view of the real sexual relationship. Tantra connects sex with God to see the primal origin of humans, those who do not know their origins certainly do not know the way back, the existence of the phallus yoni symbol, or naked holy statues in intercourse is not pornographic, but to invite us to understand our origins. The origin of mankind is still an unfinished debate, all just hypotheses. As a religious person, one should believe that the true origin of life is not from material intercourse, even though the visible process is material.

Investigation of Çankiri City Railway in Scope of Greenway

Nowadays, the importance of greenway applications in planning studies has increased to meet the increasing environmental problems in cities, the loss of open spaces, and the increasing need for recreation. The purpose of this study is to evaluate within the scope of the greenway about the part of 11 km of the Çankırı railway passing through the city center by considering the planning and design dimension. The research was carried out in four stages: literature review, analysis of natural and cultural landscape characteristics, preparation of a conceptual plan, and design suggestions. The area has a straight aspect, the slope is 0–3%, and it is an alluvial structure. It was determined that there are registered historical buildings, but structural areas are intense. According to plan, a green area and a bicycle path arrangement was proposed at the side of the railway. Also, along the existing road routes, a walking or bicycle path was proposed to provide connection between open green areas in the city. In the design process, appropriate landscape design solutions were developed for the station area, and it was proposed that street area and some intersection points be pedestrianized.

ОСОБЕННОСТИ УСТОЙЧИВОГО РАЗВИТИЯ ЛЕСНОГО СЕКТОРА МАЛОЛЕСНОГО РЕГИОНА (НА ПРИМЕРЕ ВОРОНЕЖСКОЙ ОБЛАСТИ)

The paper considers the directions of development of the region of the forestry sector of low-forest use on the example of the Voronezh region, highlights the factors and conditions for sustainable development and regional forest policy, principles, principles of compatibility of the compatibility of the use of forest resources in one area. It is emphasized that for sparsely wooded regions it is advisable to conduct economic activities within the framework of public-private partnerships associated with ensuring the protection and protection of forests, afforestation and reforestation, that is, activities related to the creation of a resource region. It is noted that the non-resource use of forests due to the disclosure of the recreational potential of the territory contributes not only to the development of the regional economy, but also satisfies the population's need for recreation, allowing to restore the lost working capacity. Forest plots from the lands of the forest fund of the Voronezh region in 2018-2020 were provided for permanent (unlimited) use, rent, free fixed-term use. The analysis showed an increase in the number of contracts for the implementation of recreational activities, construction, reconstruction, operation of linear objects, as well as hunting. With the aim of a balanced use of forest resources, taking into account the impact on the development of the regional economy, the criteria for choosing a priority direction of forest use were determined.

Identifying women's preferred activities and elements of private green spaces in informal settlements of Kabul city

This study aimed to investigate women’s preferred activities and elements of private green spaces in informal settlements of Kabul city. This study was conducted in three of the 22 police districts (PDs) of Kabul city, which included 400 women. The women were selected using a non-probability sampling technique of convenience sampling. A survey was conducted using questionnaire. ‘Recreational activities’ were the most preferred group of activities by both the owners and visitors of private green spaces. This could be due to the nature of private green spaces which can provide recreational opportunities. As far as the elements are concerned, a mix of softscape and hardscape elements were preferred the most. Majority of the items in the first construct were aesthetic elements. The women’s preference for aesthetic elements, both softscape and hardscape, can be understood from the ability of these elements to respond to the recreational need. There was no statistically significant difference in preferred activities and elements of women who had private green space at home-owners and those who did not have private green space-visitors. There was a statistically significant difference in the preferred activities of owners as well as visitors differentiated by employment status, marital status, age groups, educational level and ethnic groups. The output of this research can be used as a planning tool in responding to the environmental needs of women in informal settlements of Kabul city and other similar areas. The results can also be used by authorities for upgrading projects as well as by the head of households to fulfil the environmental needs of their women.

Evaluating the social and ecological effectiveness of partially protected marine areas.

Marine protected areas (MPAs) are a primary tool for the stewardship, conservation, and restoration of marine ecosystems, yet 69% of global MPAs are only partially protected (i.e., are open to some form of fishing). Although fully protected areas have well‐documented outcomes, including increased fish diversity and biomass, the effectiveness of partially protected areas is contested. Partially protected areas may provide benefits in some contexts and may be warranted for social reasons, yet social outcomes often depend on MPAs achieving their ecological goals to distinguish them from open areas and justify the cost of protection. We assessed the social perceptions and ecological effectiveness of 18 partially protected areas and 19 fully protected areas compared with 19 open areas along 7000 km of coast of southern Australia. We used mixed methods, gathering data via semistructured interviews, site surveys, and Reef Life (underwater visual census) surveys. We analyzed qualitative data in accordance with grounded theory and quantitative data with multivariate and univariate linear mixed‐effects models. We found no social or ecological benefits for partially protected areas relative to open areas in our study. Partially protected areas had no more fish, invertebrates, or algae than open areas; were poorly understood by coastal users; were not more attractive than open areas; and were not perceived to have better marine life than open areas. These findings provide an important counterpoint to some large‐scale meta‐analyses that conclude partially protected areas can be ecologically effective but that draw this conclusion based on narrower measures. We argue that partially protected areas act as red herrings in marine conservation because they create an illusion of protection and consume scarce conservation resources yet provide little or no social or ecological gain over open areas. Fully protected areas, by contrast, have more fish species and biomass and are well understood, supported, and valued by the public. They are perceived to have better marine life and be improving over time in keeping with actual ecological results. Conservation outcomes can be improved by upgrading partially protected areas to higher levels of protection including conversion to fully protected areas.

ПРОСТРАНСТВО ИСТОРИЧНОСТИ В ЦИФРОВОЙ ПАРАДИГМЕ КУЛЬТУРЫ

The purpose of the article is to reveal the virtual nature of historicity, clearly represented by digital practices, in a spatial aspect. The research methodology is oriented on “hermeneutical understanding”, which is interactive in nature and corresponds to the interpretational possibilities of virtual experience. The specifics of the latter conditioned a phenomenological approach to the question of the definability of the life world of subjectivity, in which the mutually exclusive factors interact. Liberal democratic reasons express the need for recreation, but they signify the unification of individuals. Historical self-consciousness is inherent in existence, but is lost in the absolute power of “here-and-now”. Sociocultural continuum bears the combination of the incompatible (grotesque), being-nonsense, but it exists as fully tangible for all. The characteristic of the transformed form of historicity, conditioned by its own virtual moment, in the aspect of space constitutes the scientific novelty of the work and allows us coming to the conclusion: the digital paradigm of space reveals the crisis of historicity through the dynamics of its virtual moment to the status of the instance of being. Thus, in terms of experiencing space, it is clear that it becomes meaningful through the image of movement based on the current accessibility of the flow. The mental quality of the space in the performance-effects is transformed into a mature declarative, and the temporality of history in the digital space is represented by the superimposition of gradations of infinity and speculative momentality in quasi-simultaneity. The movement of retrospective analysis from the unity of the historical and the logical – through the actualization of the subject – reaches a state of conditionally indefinable relation to the past. That is, the past – from the category conditioned by real facts and the deed of history – turns into a sort of a mark, from which the outlines of the future set off, loaded with “hyperreality”. The subject is a priori hypostasizing in such performances into the affective-bodily factor, manifests itself as a “hyper-sign” of the being, which is attributed to the abolition of the fullness of itself. In the sense of categorization of the basic attitude towards its reality, which is the basis of historicity, such abolition is expressed by imitation of free will, and this is obviously a comic form. The set fair obviousness and self-sufficiency of the virtual moment of historicity shows the process of canceling the obsolete integrity scenario (the subject of cultural experience) and its replacement with a virtual feature that is “prosthetic” by the digital continuum.

ОЦІНЮВАННЯ ЯКОСТІ РЕКРЕАЦІЙНОГО ВОДНОГО СЕРЕДОВИЩА: СВІТОВІ ТЕНДЕНЦІЇ, РЕКОМЕНДАЦІЇ ВООЗ, ДИРЕКТИВА ЄС ЩОДО ВОДИ ДЛЯ КУПАННЯ

The purpose of this study is to introduce modern approaches to assessing the quality of water for recreational purposes in the world and highlight the main provisions of the guidelines of the World Health Organization (WHO) on the quality of recreational water (2021) and the European Union directive on the management of bathing water (2006/7/EC). The world is actively studying the impact of water quality on recreational water use (visiting beaches, fishing, boating and other water sports, travel on inland waterways, etc.). Research shows that good water quality increases the attractiveness of all recreational water uses. Water pollution and eutrophication of water bodies can significantly reduce the need for recreation. In 2021, WHO developed guidelines for recreational water quality (coastal and freshwater) that highlight the main targets associated with adverse health effects – enterococci and E. coli. WHO guidance emphasizes the need to develop and implement recreational water safety plans (RWSPs) that provide a holistic and practical approach to assessing and managing the risks associated with recreational water use. The European Union has a 2006 Bathing Water Directive (2006/7/EC) that sets out the requirements for monitoring, classifying and managing bathing water quality in water bodies, and providing the public with relevant information. Directive 2006/7/EC is a supplement to the EU Water Framework Directive (2000/60/EC). According to Directive 2006/7/EC, water pollution is defined as the presence of microbiological contamination or other organisms or wastes that affect the quality of the bathing water and pose a threat to the health of bathers. Bathing water quality management starts with monitoring. In the EU Member States, bathing waters are monitored and monitored at the most stressed points (places of greatest influx of swimwear or danger of pollutants). The content of enterococci and Escherichia coli is monitored, the limit for which is given in Annex 1 of Directive 2006/7/EC. Bathing water quality is assessed by quality classes: excellent; good; satisfactory; nasty. Public participation should be encouraged in the formulation of proposals and comments for the creation, revision and updating of bathing water (beach) lists.

STUDENTS’ ATTITUDES AND PERCEPTIONS TOWARDS MATHEMATICS: THE CASE OF SECONDARY SCHOOLS IN BORANA ZONE, ETHIOPIA

Mathematics is an essential field of science applied in nearly all areas of knowledge and individuals’ daily lives. Therefore, understanding students’ attitudes towards it and affecting their mathematics performance is an essential step for appropriate intervention to make the subject enjoyable. This paper aims to give a comprehensive picture of students’ attitudes towards mathematics and factors that affect their attitude and achievement. To achieve this objective, purposive and random sampling techniques were used. A questionnaire measuring students’ attitudes and their achievement in the subject was distributed to sample students in secondary schools. Data were collected using a questionnaire that was validated, pilot tested, and its reliability was determined. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Students were asked to respond to a 5-point Likert scale questionnaire that includes factors that affect the teaching practice, teachers’ attribution, classroom climate, and students’ concern as a contributing factor for their attitude towards mathematics. Besides, five free-response questions were also included to get an in-depth view of students towards mathematics. Results indicated that students have an almost positive attitude towards mathematics. Factors contributing to poor performance include lack of practice, language deficiency, societal influence, comprehensive content of the subject, lack of background on the course, development of examination in mathematics, absence of tutorial, the need for more recreation, and lack of confidence. Students’ attitude towards mathematics has determined students’ achievement directly as well as the perspective of students, and their achievements are interdependent.

КОНЦЕПЦИЯ СОЗДАНИЯ РЕКРЕАЦИОННЫХ ЗОН НА ПРИБРЕЖНЫХ ТЕРРИТОРИЯХ

Against the backdrop of the constant city growth, the needs of the population for recreation are increasing. It has led to the intensive recreational use of natural landscapes. An increasing number of people are striving to meet the need for recreation outside the city limits. One of such objects for recreation is riverfront territories (coastal zones), most of which do not meet the requirements for their condition and improvement. In addition, such zones are more exposed to technogenic impact. It contributes to an increase in the degree of recreational digression of the environment and degradation of natural complexes. There is a need to regulate the forms and methods of using natural resources. It enables to develop a system for the environmentally friendly development of them, create favorable conditions for recreation, improve, maintain, and effectively use the recreational potential of the natural complex. The object of the study was the rivefront territories of the Voronezh River in the village of Dobroe, Dobrovsky district, Lipetsk region. Maximum permissible recreational loads have been calculated, the landscape indicators of the coastal territories have been analyzed with their functional recreational zoning performed to ensure the environmentally friendly use of the territory of the object of study. It is necessary to identify the principles of the structure of their recreational spaces and planning decisions in order to intensify the use of coastal territories. As a result of the research, it is planned to analyze a number of factors that influence the organization of recreational functional zones in the structure of the riverfront territories of the village of Dobroe. It enables to identify problems and the main directions for transforming the territory and revealing its potential. An assortment of plants for landscaping riverfront areas is recommended taking into account their resistance to these conditions and anthropogenic stress

Management Strategies of Forest Plant Diseases: A Review

Forest serves as source of timber, fodder, fuel and forest produce to human along with conservation of soil and water, provision of food and shelter to wildlife and also adding to the aesthetic value and recreational need of human. A major injury to nursery seedlings is caused by pests (insects, mites, diseases and weeds) which has detrimental effect on the seedlings during nursery production by reducing plant growth and quality. Plant diseases are caused by insects, fungi, bacteria, nematodes, viruses and phytoplasmas. However, it is important to know the kind of diseases present in the nursery and the detrimental impact they cause on tree production. Basically, to reduce the risk of pest infestation (insects, mites, weeds, diseases) in the nursery it is important to first of all know the source of diseases in or around the nursery. Seedling production plays an important role in keeping the forest productive, it is therefore important that these disease causing organisms are carefully eradicated from the nursery through proper management strategies. In forest nurseries, different types of diseases such as damping off, root rot, powdery mildew, leaf curl, wilt, canker and rust among others could be found. Therefore, this review emphasizes on the causes and effective ways of managing and eradicating diseases in forest nursery.

ДОГОВІР КРУЇЗУ ЯК ДОГОВІР ТУРИСТИЧНИХ ПОСЛУГ У ПОРІВНЯННІ ІЗ ДОГОВОРОМ МОРСЬКОГО ПЕРЕВЕЗЕННЯ ПАСАЖИРІВ

The article is devoted to the study of the legal nature of sea cruise and passenger transportation agreements, the legal regulation of these agreements at the international and national levels. The rights and obligations of the subjects of these agreements, the relevance of the study of this topic in our time are studied. The ratio of the legal organization of the contract of sea cruise and the contract of sea transportation of passengers is carried out. Common and different factors of comparative agreements are investigated. Along with this, the article examines the future priorities for the development of cruise tourism in Ukraine. The study was conducted on the example of existing Ukrainian companies providing cruise services. We considered the priorities and the need to develop cruise tourism based on a number of important factors. The most important of which is the growing demand of the population of Ukraine for cruise services as a type of recreation for tourism. This direction of development is relevant and possible in our country, as Ukraine has several dry rivers, such as the Dnieper and others. The exit of the Dnieper to the Black Sea opens up prospects not only for the creation of cruise tourism at the state level but also for cooperation with other states, as the focus of this agreement is to meet the consumer's need for recreation. For example, the Code of Merchant Shipping distinguishes between a cruise agreement and a contract for the carriage of passengers by sea. It is impossible to completely agree with the opinion expressed in KTM of Ukraine as the cruise contract is not just delivery of passengers from point A to point B, but also rendering of a wide range of thyristic services: food, medical, household, entertaining service product because during the cruise the passenger is not only transported, but also provide a range of services. The major problem and obstacle to the development of these agreements is the fact that in Ukraine there is no clearly regulated legislation that would delimit, regulate cruise tourism activities. Today, sea passenger traffic accounts for a small part of all traffic in Ukraine. This is due to the fact that such modes of transport as rail, road or air are faster, have a developed infrastructure and are able to fully meet the needs of the population in transportation. As for maritime transport, ships are more often used for tourist, cruising, is have a so-called cruise function.

Urban Furniture in a New Setting of Public Spaces Within the Kurdistan Region: Educational Targets and Course Design Process

This research is an attempt to analyze the existing urban form of outdoor public space of Duhok city and to give proposals for their improvements in terms of urban seating. The aim of this research is to identify the main urban furniture elements and behavior of users of three central parks of Duhok city, recognizing their functionality and the most common errors. Citizens needs, directly related to the physical characteristics of the environment, are categorized in terms of contact with nature. Parks as significant urban environments express their aesthetic preferences, as well as the need for recreation and play. Citizens around the world desire to contact with nature and places where they can socialize, play and practice different activities, but also participate in building their community and feeling the identity of their cities. The aim of this research is also to reintegrate these spaces in the wider urban context of the city of Duhok, to develop new functions by designing new seating patterns, more improved urban furniture, and necessary supporting facilities and equipment. Urban furniture is a product that uses an enormous number of people in public space. It has a high level of wear and damage due to intense use, exposure to sunlight and weather conditions. Iraq has a hot and dry climate characterized by long, warm, dry summers and short, cold winters. The climate is determined by the Iraq location at the crossroads of Arab desert areas and the subtropical humid climate of the Persian Gulf. The second part of this analysis will describe the possibilities of traditional and contemporary materials as well as their advantages in urban furniture production, providing users protection from extreme local climate conditions, but also taking into account solidities and unwelcome consequences, such as vandalism. In addition, this research represents a preliminary stage in the development of IND307 furniture design course for needs of the Department of Interior design, at the American University in Duhok. Based on results obtained in this research, the course would present a symbiosis between people and technology, promotion of new street furniture design that perceives pedestrian activities in an urban setting, and practical use of anthropometric measurements as a tool for technical innovations.

THE POSSIBILITY OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF BIRD WATCHING AS A SPECIFIC FORM OF TOURISM IN THE DELIBLATO SANDS - CASE STUDY

During 2017, the Society for bird protection in Serbia has organized free trips for domestic tourists in the protected nature reserves in northern Serbia. Their main task was to educate tourists about rare bird species in Serbia and explore the possibility for the development of bird watching, as a specific form of tourism. Since these forms of tourism are not sufficiently developed on Serbian travel market, the main aim of this paper is to examine the motives of tourists who are taking trips. Results of the research should determine the manner in which domestic tourists, in economically underdeveloped countries like Serbia, are related to natural values and whether it is possible that specific forms of tourism become point of interest for domestic tourists and part of the tour operators offer.The aim of the paper is to present the opinions of a group of 54 tourists who visited The Special Nature Reserve Deliblato sands in June 2017 for the education and observation of rare species of birds. Research has shown that the dominant motives of tourists were related to their need for physical activity, recreation and leisure, rather than observing and photographing rare birds. The results of the survey of the descriptive statistics show that the majority of the respondents believe that the observation of birds and sustainable tourism in the Nature Reserve of the Deliblato sands will only experience its development.Research results can be useful to business entities in tourism with the aim of forming a tourist offer for domestic and foreign tourists as well as individuals, with the aim of developing awareness of the importance and importance of protected nature reserves and their preservation in the future. This is the not first study, but one of the pioneer research to examine the motives of traveling by domestic tourists in terms of specific forms of tourism development in Serbia.
