Research On Evaluation Index System Of Sports Events Over Urban Development Based On Symbiosis Theory, Hanzhi Dai
Research On Evaluation Index System Of Sports Events Over Urban Development Based On Symbiosis Theory, Hanzhi Dai
International Journal of Physical Activity and Health
With the development of economic globalization, sports events have become a strategic tool that is used for enhancing the competitiveness of the city and achieving the government’s goal. Nowadays, a myriad of cities takes organizing sports events as the goal of urban development. However, what is the relationship between sporting events and urban development? How to build an evaluation index system to measure the relationship between urban development and sports events? How are sports events coordinated with urban development? These issues have not yet been thoroughly investigated. This study attempts to analyze the relationship and mechanism between urban development and …

Knowledge of habitat use by animals within urban-riparian corridors during the breeding season is important for conservation, yet remains understudied. We examined the bird community along an urban-riparian corridor through metropolitan Boise, Idaho and predicted that occupancy of individual species and species richness would be greater in forested areas than in urbanized areas. We surveyed birds throughout the summers of 2009 and 2010 and quantified the m2 of each cover-type within 50-m, 100-m, and 200-m buffers surrounding each survey location using satellite imagery. Occupancy modeling revealed that eight of 14 species analyzed were positively associated with riparian forest, and …
Productivity And Habitat Features Of Swainson's Hawks (Buteo Swainsoni) Nesting In Suburban And Agricultural Areas Of Southwest Idaho, Steven Edward Alsup
Productivity And Habitat Features Of Swainson's Hawks (Buteo Swainsoni) Nesting In Suburban And Agricultural Areas Of Southwest Idaho, Steven Edward Alsup
Boise State University Theses and Dissertations
I compared nesting success and productivity of Swainson’s Hawks nesting in suburban and agricultural areas in southwest Idaho to assess the effects of land use change on Swainson’s Hawk reproduction. I also evaluated habitat parameters and land use patterns around nesting areas to determine if nest site, habitat, and/or landscape features were related to reproductive success in Swainson’s Hawks. I recorded habitat characteristics, nest tree characteristics, distances to four habitat features, and disturbance types, as well as land use patterns within a 1500m radius around nest trees to assess any differences in nest site characteristics, habitat features, and/or landscape features …
