A study of the development of tenant involvement strategies in Hong Kong : future development of estate management of Estate Management Advisory Committee Scheme

AbstractThis paper reports on an investigation of the status of pre-school environmental education in Hong Kong through both a questionnaire survey and case studies. The study looked in particular at the environmental education activities organised, difficulties encountered in the implementation of environmental education and teachers' attitudes towards environmental education and teaching approaches. The findings indicated that pre-school environmental education tended to focus more on education about the environment than education in and for the environment. The results also revealed that the teachers' perceived barriers were mainly logistical, such as lack of time and resources, and educational in the sense that they felt that they lacked knowledge about environmental education. The implications for future development of environmental education are discussed.

In conclusion, the recommendations provided in this document represent a distillation of various experiences. as well as data obtained from published studies. It is hoped that this compilation will provide a basis upon which future developments and advances in the therapeutic approach to CAPD patients with peritonitis can be made. Paramount among these will be the development of more efficient and rapid diagnostic techniques, as well as new and superior peritonitis regimens utilizing precisely derived dosing recommendations that minimize toxicity and yet provide a high degree of efficacy. In addition, new insights into the clinical approach related to catheter management should be developed, particularly as they pertain to exit and tunnel infections, as well as the optimal interval before catheter reinsertion can be safely performed.

Baseline System

This article aims to clarify the legal relationship between Hong Kong’s maritime areas and China’s baseline system by conducting an historical inquiry into how the current status quo was reached and considering the implications for Hong Kong’s future development. China’s well-known position is that the treaties granting authority to the British in Hong Kong, including the ninety-nine year lease of the New Territories, were ‘unequal’ and therefore invalid so that sovereignty over the land and waters of Hong Kong never left Chinese hands and this position would be recognized and remedied at the appropriate time. As the Hong Kong experience illustrates, when territory is surrendered or leased, rights and claims are altered and sometimes extended. The historical evolution of those rights and claims therefore impacts on current territorial relationships. The example of Hong Kong may additionally serve as a reference point for modern day lease arrangements concerning coastal territory made outside the colonial context.
