Weymouth's once in a lifetime opportunity.
No full textOn the 6 July 2005 much changed for the towns of Weymouth and Portland, Dorset as they
heard that in seven years time they would be hosting the sailing for the successful London 2012
Olympic Bid. Two years later on, and whilst the Weymouth and Portland National Sailing Academy
(WPNSA) has swung into action with its preparations, the town of Weymouth itself in some respects
appears to be unsure of it’s future direction. At the time of the bid the road issue was still uppermost
in the minds of the residents; however that issue has potentially been resolved with the Government
announcing the decision to build the relief road in time for the 2012 Games which will alter significantly
the arrival of visitors into the town from Dorchester, until now a potential traffic nightmare
for both visitors and residents alike with long delays and traffic bottlenecks. Yet, within the town
itself, little has changed. Many plans are being suggested about developments including the new
Pavilion Peninsula and also the redevelopment of the waterfront esplanade, but it would appear that
the town is slightly indecisive as to where it wants to position itself with regard to attracting visitors
and income to the town.
Weymouth needs to decide on its strategy for the future, by adopting a concerted approach to
attract certain segments of the market and invest sensibly in these areas, rather than trying to spread
itself too thinly across all market sectors. The role of a good events portfolio could be a major contributor
to a successful marketing strategy. From research undertaken in 2004 ( Sadd, 2004 ), it is
evident that the locals are keen for the ‘ season ’ to be all year around and they recognise the importance
of events in the town and how, historically, they have been a great source of celebration, ranging
from the military parades to the hosting of the tall ships for an unprecedented three times. This
chapter will explain the historical underpinning of Weymouth’s present situation and will make suggestions
for possible events based strategies to maximise the potential benefits to be gained from
being Olympic Hosts in 2012
Mega-events, community stakeholders and legacy: London 2012.
No full textThis study highlights the treatment of the smaller stakeholders for whom the social legacy impacts are potentially the greatest within mega-event planning. The aim of this research is to develop a framework of urban regeneration legacy associated with the hosting of mega-events where the local community are key stakeholders, and where they can gain long-term positive social legacies. Mega-events, such as the Olympic Games, are widely held to bring a variety of positive social benefits through the process of urban regeneration. This research is built around the development of a conceptual framework of social legacy impacts arising from the urban regeneration planned through hosting the Olympic Games. Social legacy impacts, also referred to as soft impacts, are those which are intangible and affect individuals within their everyday lives in the longer term. This research is concerned with the social legacy impacts of The London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games on the ‘community’ (being defined as those, who have either lived, worked or have some social connection with the area within the proposed Olympic Park site) in the Lower Lea Valley site in east London, and how they have or have not been recognised as stakeholders. A stakeholder being an individual or group who will be affected by the actions, decisions or policies of the Games organisers, within the planning of the Games.
Key informant interviews have been undertaken with individuals who have had a stake in the planning of the Barcelona Games of 1992, Sydney Games of 2000 and the planning of the London 2012 Games. Each interview involved a semi-structured conversation, encouraging the interviewees to recount their experiences of the planning of these mega-events from the perspectives of the communities involved and the social legacy planning. Interviews were analysed thematically. The main themes to emerge focus on legacy identification, community identification, the importance of regeneration for the existing community, the need to identify power relationships and the need for knowledge transfer and experience. The study shows that, for some ‘communities’, the opportunity to gain positive social benefits are too late as they themselves have already been relocated. The study has developed the Olympic Legacy Management Stakeholder framework to help communities to become more active as stakeholders within future mega-event planning through, amongst other things, recognising the different power relationships that exist
Plannning for Resort Regeneration: The role of the Olympic 2012 bid for Weymouth and Portland, Dorset
No full textEvents have become increasingly popular as tourist attractions, contributing to the opportunity for resort regeneration (Law, 1993). The ability to increase civic pride, community spirit and collective self-image through the hosting of events and the associated urban regeneration has only recently begun to be considered within the UK. This paper will analyse the potential participation of the various stakeholders in planning for resort regeneration.
There needs to be three levels for successful tourism planning; national, regional strategic and local with all three levels being integrated to produce an adoptable strategic vision (Gunn, 1994). Feasibility studies should take a holistic approach, looking beyond the economic impacts and gather information regarding communities and special interest groups and if used effectively will develop good community relations, thereby overcoming objections (Getz, 1997). Furthermore, events should play a role in the destination tourism plan and that sound planning should accompany the pursuit of events rather than the irrationality often seen.
The significance of events to schemes of urban regeneration has been recognised by the UK Government as seen in the £55m given to Manchester in 1994 to support its unsuccessful Olympic Bid but utilised for the hosting of the Commonwealth Games in 2002.
This paper is based upon an MSc dissertation completed in 2004 for a Tourism and Planning Management Degree. The research was carried out in Weymouth and Portland, Dorset with the assistance of the Local Council, Chamber of Commerce, Sailing Authorities, Citizen’s Panel and individual citizens via questionnaires and interviews.
The local council have drawn up comprehensive plans to ensure the potential hosting of the sailing element of the 2012 bid will have positive long-term legacies for the area. It is acknowledged that the area is in need of regeneration and a poll of residents had a 42% response rate. The local council recognise the significance of hosting festivals and events not only as generators of income but also as civic celebrations
Analisis Sadd al-Zari’ah dalam Mencegah Gratifikasi: Analysis of Sadd al-Zari’ah in Preventing Gratification
No full textThe main problems in this research are (1) the essence of Sadd al-Zari’ah in the study of fiqh proposals, (2) the method of application and its limitations, and (3) the analysis of Sadd al-Zari’ah on the prevalent practice of gratification. tired. This description is born from various phenomena that are quite dilemmatic, can be seen, observed, and analyzed in the dynamics of community life, especially those related to legal imposition in muamalah problems. This type of research is descriptive qualitative. The data source is literature. The approach used is normative theological. While processing and data analysis techniques with critical analysis. The results of this study indicate that the essence of Sadd al-Zari’ah is to prevent and block roads that are permissible but can lead to something that is haram, so that mukallaf can carry out the command shar'i or abandon the prohibition of Sha r'i in a perfect manner. The implication is that by understanding the Sadd al-Zari’ah rule, a mukallaf can avoid gratification, either as a recipient or a giver and will be wiser in concluding legal answers by studying the Shari'a texts and their meanings. Legal experts on the other hand are demanded to be wiser in responding to the problems of the ummah, especially those concerning public needs, as the practice of the principle of “rejecting bad is prioritized over achieving good”
Polysulfide Speciation and Migration in Catholyte Lithium−Sulfur Cells
No full textSemi-liquid catholyte Lithium−Sulfur (Li−S) cells have shown to be a promising path to realize high energy density energy storage devices. In general, Li−S cells rely on the conversion of elemental sulfur to soluble polysulfide species. In the case of catholyte cells, the active material is added through polysulfide species dissolved in the electrolyte. Herein, we use operando Raman spectroscopy to track the speciation and migration of polysulfides in the catholyte to shed light on the processes taking place. Combined with ex-situ surface and electrochemical analysis we show that the migration of polysulfides is central in order to maximize the performance in terms of capacity (active material utilization) as well as interphase stability on the Li-metal anode during cycling. More specifically we show that using a catholyte where the polysulfides have the dual roles of active material and conducting species, e. g. no traditional Li-salt (such as LiTFSI) is present, results in a higher mobility and faster migration of polysulfides. We also reveal how the formation of long chain polysulfides in the catholyte is delayed during charge as a result of rapid formation and migration of shorter chain species, beneficial for reaching higher capacities. However, the depletion of ionic species during the last stage of charge, due to the conversion to and precipitation of elemental sulfur on the cathode support, results in polarization of the cell before full conversion can be achieved
Metode Sadd Al-Dzarī’ah dalam Rangka Penangguhan Pernikahan Menghadapi Kehamilan di Luar Nikah
No full textThis research aims to examine the impact of marriage suspension on pregnant women in the context of the Sadd Al-Dzarī'ah Method. The main objective of this research is to understand the effectiveness of the Sadd Al-Dzarī'ah Method in preventing immoral acts and facilitating the moral rehabilitation process of individuals. This research method uses a qualitative approach by analyzing Islamic legal literature, the fatwas of scholars, and conducting indepth interviews with individuals who have experienced marriage suspension. The results show that the Sadd AlDzarī'ah method has a positive impact by providing opportunities for reflection and self-improvement for individuals involved in relationships outside of marriage. Families play a key role in supporting the rehabilitation process, creating an environment that supports positive change. However, there are also concerns regarding social stigmatization and legal uncertainty that can arise from the implementation of the Sadd Al-Dzarī'ah Method. The conclusion of this study is that the Sadd Al-Dzarī'ah Method has advantages in preventing immorality and fostering individual morals, but also needs more attention regarding its social and legal impacts. Further development can focus on a holistic approach and community education to strengthen collective understanding of the Sadd Al-Dzarī'ah Method.Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji dampak penangguhan perkawinan terhadap ibu hamil dalam konteks Metode Sadd Al-Dzarī'ah. Tujuan utama penelitian ini adalah untuk memahami efektivitas Metode Sadd Al-Dzarī'ah dalam mencegah perbuatan asusila dan memfasilitasi proses rehabilitasi akhlak individu. Metode penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan menganalisis literatur hukum Islam, fatwa ulama, dan melakukan wawancara mendalam terhadap individu yang pernah mengalami penangguhan perkawinan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa metode Sadd Al-Dzarī'ah memberikan dampak positif dengan memberikan kesempatan untuk berefleksi dan memperbaiki diri bagi individu yang terlibat dalam hubungan di luar nikah. Keluarga memegang peranan penting dalam mendukung proses rehabilitasi, menciptakan lingkungan yang mendukung perubahan positif. Namun demikian, terdapat pula kekhawatiran mengenai stigmatisasi sosial dan ketidakpastian hukum yang dapat timbul dari penerapan Metode Sadd Al-Dzarī'ah. Kesimpulan dari penelitian ini adalah bahwa Metode Sadd Al-Dzarī'ah memiliki kelebihan dalam mencegah kemaksiatan dan membina akhlak individu, namun juga perlu mendapat perhatian lebih terkait dampak sosial dan hukumnya. Pengembangan lebih lanjut dapat difokuskan pada pendekatan holistik dan edukasi masyarakat untuk memperkuat pemahaman kolektif tentang Metode Sadd Al-Dzarī'ah.

Telaah Sadd Adz-Zariah PRISONER RELEASE POLICY DURING COVID-19 FROM SADD AL-ŻARĪ'AH'S PERSPECTIVE
No full textThe policy of the Minister of Law and Human Rights regarding granting prisoner release at the beginning of 2020 has caused a stir among the public because this policy was issued in the midst of the country being hit by the COVID-19 pandemic, a symptom of a deadly disease. On this basis, the researcher wanted to find out how to grant prisoner release based on the policy of the Minister of Law and Human Rights in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic?, and what is Sadd al-żarī'ah's study of prisoner release based on the policy of the Minister of Law and Human Rights during Covid-19? This qualitative research used a normative method and a statute approach. Meanwhile, the types of data used were secondary data and primary data. The results of this research showed that the granting of prisoner release was carried out by Correctional Institutions with an integrated Correctional Database System (CDS) for prisoners who had fulfilled the substantive and administrative requirements by going through the procedures process. The policies were reviewed through sadd al-żarī'ah, which was a method of carrying out the law. In this case, seeing the intermediary of the action could lead to maslahah or mafsadat. The greater benefit arising from this policy is protecting lives by preventing the transmission of COVID-19, which could be deadly in Correctional Institutions as closed housing and over capacity. However, there are also consequences in the form of repetition of criminal acts (recidivism) by prisoners.The policy of the Minister of Law and Human Rights regarding granting prisoner release at the beginning of 2020 has caused a stir among the public because this policy was issued in the midst of the country being hit by the COVID-19 pandemic, a symptom of a deadly disease.
