Ferris Wheel

New attractions—including Martin Luther King Jr. National Historic Site, Atlanta History Center, World of Coca-Cola, and SkyView Ferris wheel—have made Atlanta, Georgia, a destination city. SkyView is one of the top five attractions for Atlanta tourists (see photographs 1 and 2). This Ferris wheel sits 200 feet tall and contains 42 climate-controlled gondolas, each of which can hold a maximum of six people. We can analyze and identify many mathematical features of this attraction that will lead us to a discussion of circumference, angles of polygons, the parametric form of conic sections, periodic functions, and related rates.

<p>Along with the passage of time, the human need for modes of transportation is increasing. The increasing number of residents is inversely proportional to the limited time they have, so transportation modes such as trains are one solution. Rantau Prapat Railway Station has many shortcomings which of course must be improved and added to be able to serve the community in the future. This redesign is oriented to the community as users of transportation modes, how the flow of human and vehicle circulation is the main problem. The Rantau Prapat Railway Station must also be an attractive city gate, especially since the city of Rantau Prapat is the last destination city on the North Sumatra railway line. Therefore, the application of the Contextual Architecture theme is used so that the design that is set also follows the flow of an increasingly sophisticated future era. How a Railway Station that can function well functionally but can also be a city gate that gives interest to visit.</p>

In the existing research on Chinese migration, rural domestic Chinese migrants are often portrayed as a community of intruders with a detached culture who invade a host destination city. Usually, as a first step, they settle down in a so-called “Chengzhongcun” (literally a village encircled by the city boundaries, hereafter CZC), which is a kind of “urban village”, or an undeveloped part of a city that is overshadowed by the more developed areas. The present paper tries to give an image of the rural-to-urban migrants as a more vigorous mediator that forms their migration destination. The aims are the following: first, to achieve a detailed written analysis of an existing CZC community and its functioning as a mirror of the discriminating division between the rural and urban life in China. Secondly, by taking into account the experiences of migrant communities in their host cities, this paper seeks to highlight the migrants' emotional conflict and increasing loss of values that occurs in the migration process from the rural to the urban. Thirdly, the migrants' household survival strategies shall be explored. Finally, weaving these strands together, this paper presents a case study of a Tulou collective housing project in Guangzhou Province, China.

Over the past decade the Irish government has invested intensively in a large national motorway network. One benefit of this investment is that intercity travel has become considerably cheaper and quicker by car than by any other mode. The main objective of this research was to identify and examine the barriers to sustainable intercity transportation in Ireland. The majority of sustainable transportation research has occurred in an urban context; little research has focused on understanding the factors that encourage alternative modes for intercity trips. A stated preference study was conducted to determine which factors affect individuals' mode choice for an intercity trip. The results of this paper demonstrated that several factors affected individuals' mode choice for an intercity trip; the main factor was the requirement to have a car in the destination city.

Understanding the mechanism by which internal migrants evaluate their quality of life is essential for understanding the social integration of migrants into Chinese cities. A few studies have examined the linkages between internal migrants’ objective socioeconomic status and subjective wellbeing in the Chinese context, but they assume that migrants compare themselves with either their sending communities or receiving cities when evaluating their working and living conditions. This paper examines the effect of internal migrants’ objective socioeconomic status on subjective wellbeing in Chinese cities, with a particular focus on the mediating role of perceived living standards relative to multiple reference groups and the differences between first- and second-generation migrants. Multi-level structural equation models are used to analyse data from the 2014 China Labour-force Dynamic Survey. Results from baseline regressions indicate that migrants’ family income is positively associated with their subjective wellbeing in both a direct and an indirect manner, while homeownership in the host city is only related to it in an indirect way. The relationship between family income, homeownership in the host city and subjective wellbeing is significantly mediated by perceived living standards relative to the reference groups of schoolmates, neighbours and local urban residents in the destination city. Results from the comparison between two generations of migrants indicate that only family income is positively associated with the subjective wellbeing of first-generation migrants. By contrast, for second-generation migrants, homeownership in the destination city is indirectly related to subjective wellbeing through perceived living standards relative to local urban residents.

World and especially European trends of tourist economy are mainly focused on development of diversity in cultural tourism. Cultural tourism is a complex of numerous activities that enables not only the affirmation of cultural-historic motives, but also provides important resources for renewal of cultural-historic monuments, tangible and intangible heritage and resources. Today, there is no serious and ambitious country that does not prefer development of tourism in its development strategies as a planetary phenomenon and development sector. This specially refers to cultural tourism, as a competitive segment, based on local authenticity, unique areas, urban entities and ambiance, different historic layers and monuments, local tradition, myths and customs, affirmative mentality of population, geographic and ecological resources, in brief - complex and original identity of its area and its population. Cultural tourism in Montenegro has a modest tradition and only recently through valuable but sporadic initiatives and encouragements from Europe, attempts to valorize its own potentials, making them competitive through creative projects and programs. It is most certainly that the Montenegrin coast is a deeply settled part of complex Mediterranean cultural sphere that possesses certain characteristics which marks it as a unique cultural space in which different historical, geographic, confessional and other influences from surroundings intersect, predefining it for development of cultural tourism. This paper represents an effort to create a professional study report, although limited to single destination - city of Budva that treats cultural tourism in correlation with evaluation of renewal and use of cultural-historic and built heritage. From the mentioned reasons and within described context, this paper tends to be a small, but precisely created contribution to the future actions of creating complex tourist offer at Montenegrin coast, especially in Budva as its 'capital', as it is often emphasized with reasonable expectations in public. .

Sektor transportasi udara merupakan salah satu faktor penting dalam mendukung kegiatan perekonomian di suatu negara. untuk mencapai hal tersebut negara-negara yang tergabung di dalam ASEAN (Association of South East Asian Nation) sepakat untuk menjalankan kebijakan liberalisasi transportasi udara atau lebih dikenal dengan ASEAN Single Aviation Market (ASAM) atau ASEAN Open Skies. Tujuan dari kebijakan tersebut adalah meliberalisasi akses pasar dengan mengendurkan hambatan kebebasan transportasi udara (freedom of air) yang ke-3, ke-4 dan ke-5 antar negara-negara anggota ASEAN. Studi ini secara spesifik bertujuan untuk menghitung akibat dari kesepakatan ASEAN Single Aviation Market terhadap volume penumpang internasional dan maskapai penerbangan (low-cost carrier/LCC dan full-service carrier/FSC). Studi ini menggunakan data lalu lintas penumpang dan pesawat yang diperoleh dari OAG (official airline guide) yaitu data lalu lintas udara dengan rute kedatangan dan keberangkatan 30 bandara utama internasional di Asia Timur dan Asia Tenggara, pada periode waktu tahun 2010, 2015 dan 2017). Metode penelitian yang digunakan pada studi ini menggunakan DID (Difference in Differences) fixed effects, dengan jumlah observasi sebanyak 232,437 OD city pair (Origin-destination city pair). Hasil dari studi menunjukkan bahwa kesepakatan ASEAN Open Skies berdampak positif terhadap lalu lintas penumpang dan pesawat, yaitu total penumpang internasional, penumpang LCC, maskapai LCC, dan maskapai FSC pada rute antar-kota di Asia Tenggara, baik rute kedatangan maupun keberangkatan. Hasil dari penelitian ini diharapkan dapat menambah literatur yang terkait dengan industri penerbangan khususnya tentang liberalisasi transportasi udara.

Over Time

Loewenstein and Simonsohn (2006) found that movers across US cities anchor their rental choices to rents in the city of origin, but subsequently converge to comparable local households. We explain this finding using the authors' (2019) model of memory and attention. Rents in the destination city cue recall of “normal” rents in the city of origin, making the former surprisingly high or low, causing movers to under- or overspend, respectively. Over time, experience with new city rents allows the memory database to adapt, and the effect fades away. The model yields two new predictions, for which we find supportive evidence.
