The Development of Urban to Support Sport Tourism in Qatar, A Case Study: West Bay North Beach

Sports the travel industry is recognized as movement that includes either watching or taking part in a game while staying outside of the sightseers' typical environmental factors. Major games, like the football, Olympic Games and rugby competitions, have developed into solid the travel industry attracts and of themselves, contributing altogether to the host objective's travel industry profile. Major Sports event and tourism are intertwined and mutually beneficial. Qatar has host many of mega sport event and next year will host FIFA World Cup 2022. Urban regeneration is one of the benefits of mega event in Qatar. The purpose of this study is to analyze West Bay North Beach Project development that has been launched in April 2021. A total of 15 Arabic and English press content were collected from different websites. • 12 beaches operate by hotels in one area. • Project contains three phases: First phase includes open beach number 7 to beach number 12, which are now open. • Second phase contains beaches number 1 to 3 and beach number 6 and will be open in second quartiles of 2021. Third phase includes beaches number 4 and 5, and it will be available in 2023. • Length of two-kilometer cycle path. • Walkway of 1.5 km length and 8 meters width. • Access public transit across 36 stations, with buses running every 12 minutes from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. The North Beach Project in West Bay is planned to become a major new sport tourist attraction. An exceptional tourist attraction in Doha Downtown by building up a interconnected organization of the general population and business exercises, associating it to the encompassing regions through open transportation, person on foot ways, and cycling paths from the Corniche to Lusail. The limitation of the study is a few information has been published about the project.

Multi-decadal coastal evolution of a North Atlantic shelf-edge vegetated sand island – Sable Island, Canada

Impacts from a changing climate, in particular sea-level rise, will be most acutely felt on small oceanic islands. A common configuration of mid-latitude islands is the sandy barrier island. Sable Island, Nova Scotia, Canada is a vegetated sand island near the shelf edge, 160 km from the nearest point of land, that is morphologically similar to a barrier island. This study uses 60 years of airphoto records to analyse changes in coastline position through digitized shore and vegetation (foredune proxy) lines. Rates of coastal movement are analysed to model the future (2039) coastal configuration. The analyses suggest that the majority of the coastline on Sable Island is in retreat, with net retreat on the south side of the island only partially offset by modest net advance on the north side. The different morphologies of the beach-dune systems of South and North Beach, driven by incident wind and waves, yield these different coastline responses. Projected loss of 10 ha by 2039 of the climax heath vegetative community to shoreline retreat suggests a trend toward island instability due to coastline migration. Island-wide dataset trends show support for two different but complementary hypotheses about whole-island evolution: either the island is mobile via bank migration driving southern coastline changes and experiencing sediment transport toward the east, or the island is generally immobile and losing subaerial sediments (and thus shrinking) likely due to ongoing (and accelerating) sea-level rise.

ANALYSIS OF MICROPLASTIC CONTENT IN LOKAN (Geloina erosa) IN NORTH BEACH WATERS OF BENGKALIS ISLAND, RIAU PROVINCE

The coastal waters of Pulau Bengkalis are located in the Malacca Strait and it is suspected that some of the people around the area throw away garbage and end up at sea, especially plastic waste. This research was conducted in July 2020 in the northern coastal waters of Bengkalis Island, Bengkalis Regency. The aim of this study was to analyze the type, abundance and relationship of abundance with microplastic size in Lokan soft tissue. This study uses a survey method. Data collection is primary data, data obtained during the study is presented in tables and graphs, then analyzed statistically. The results showed 3 types of microplastics, namely fibre, film and fragments. The total abundance of microplastics at station 1 was 13.199 particles/g and the total abundance at station 2 was 13.583 particles / g. The total abundance of microplastics at the large size was 8.942 particles/g and the total abundance was higher at the small size, namely 15.774 particles/g. The results of the regression test showed that the abundance of microplastics had a weak relationship with the weight and length of the fish with a correlation coefficient between 0.21-0.40.

Soldiers, Sailors, B-Girls, and Out-of-Bounders

As the Second World War led to massive migrations, port cities swelled with workers and military personnel. Newly arrived residents sought leisure and social connections, and entertainment districts, such as San Francisco’s Tenderloin, Fillmore, and North Beach, expanded as well. Freed from the watchful eyes of hometown family and neighbors, many saw bars and nightclubs as sites of social and sexual experimentation. Military and municipal authorities, concerned to maintain both the racial color line and sexual discipline, began to monitor San Francisco’s intersectional nightspots. But nightspot owners and their patrons also pushed back, resulting in the formation of both formal and informal socially conscious networks and institutions that used entertainment districts as places of connection, protection, and liberation.

HOW THE ANZAC LEGEND WAS CREATED: MORNING OF APRIL 25, 1915

The article is devoted to the study of the first combat operations of the Australian-new Zealand army corps. It shows measures to ensure the surprise of the landing, a diversionary maneuver of the fleet in Saros Bay, the landing of three echelons of troops on the morning of April 25, 1915, on the beaches of Anzac Cove and North beach, the reasons for the rapid success and subsequent failures of the paratroopers. The reasons for the weak interaction of the landing units, the lack of artillery support, delays in the landing of the third echelon and the arrival of reinforcements to the front areas of the advance of troops are analyzed. It also shows the actions of the Turkish officer responsible for the defense of the Anzac landing site – Colonel Mustafa Kemal, who showed determination and did not allow the defenders of Gallipoli to retreat under the blows of superior forces of Australian and new Zealand troops. The article uses archival materials from the Australian War Memorial and British archives, diary entries and letters from Australians and new Zealanders, Russian and foreign research on the initial stage of the Gallipoli operation

Shoreline Change with Groin Coastal Protection Structure at North Java Beach

The research aimed to study the effect of groin application to erosion at the shoreline. The method utilized the bathymetry and topography data of north beach of Balongan, West Java. Modeling of the shoreline change due to groin installment used software called GENESIS. Based on analysis result, it is found that the significant wave direction comes from the southeast with significant wave height of 1,18 meters and surf zone width of 140 meters. It is concluded that at research area of north beach of west Java, I-groin with length of 70 meters and T head groin of 60 meters in long T-groin effectively overcome erosion and advance the coastline by 10786,62 m2 or in average 6,3 meters.
