Conclusion
In order to answer the overall question which is “What are the impacts of tourism in Pantai Cenang, Langkawi Island, Malaysia? I am going to refer back to my original hypothesis.
Hypothesis 1 = “I think that tourism will benefit the local society and economy.”
This hypothesis has been proven. My questionnaire and photographs I took support this hypothesis. It is clear that Pantai Cenang has undergone modernising and development at least in the tourist accommodations in the area. Workers I asked even said that the “local economy has benefited” and their “wages have increased”. For many locals, their whole career is based on the fact that there are annual visits from a sizeable amount of tourists which indicate that they depend on the tourist industry which just shows how important tourists are the the Langkawi economy. However a disadvantage of this is that economic leakage can occur if tourist stay at organisations by MNCs or foreign companies as revenue generated from Pantai Cenang is lost to other countries.
Hypothesis 2 = “Money from tourism will also improve infrastructure in Langkawi.”
My traffic clearly indicates that automobiles have been the most popular mode of transportation in the area. I would infer that over the years there definitely has been some form of development of the roads and parking spaces for cars. There are also pictures as well as my land use map that depict many construction sites which indicates that the area is developing. This
The newly constructed highways were convenient for people to commute from suburban areas to their jobs in urban centers. Living in the suburbs became much more attractive and accessible, leading to a boom in suburban
There has also been housing construction without taken into account transportation infrastructure. On of the things Oleszek plans to do to fix this issue is linking land use plans with the state transportation. She also plans to establish a region wide plan to cover other areas. This will be done by bringing all members of our community together to work on this key issue. Many reasons to support these changes include how it will reduce traffic preventing street noises in residential neighborhoods, etc.
Have any of the aged buildings been repurposed? What are some possible reasons for urban growth and decline in the area? Pyrmont has experienced many changes since its beginnings. From a booming port industry, into
As a result of this massive population increase, new homes were built to accommodate the influx of people. Approximately 40% of the housing in Crofton has been built since 1990, and there has been a massive sprawl in the areas where neighborhoods have been built (“Best Places: Crofton,
Major factors have greatly affected the urban settlement trends in Pyrmont involve new technologies
The first car was invented in the 1920’s by Henry Ford, who created assembly lines to mass produce cars in order to make them accessible and affordable to the public(FOOTNOTERN#3). Automobiles were one of the few inventions of this decade that made the world seem smaller, since it made traveling long distances much easier. As a result of the huge success of automobiles, jobs were created in areas that related to automobiles such as: assembly line workers, road construction workers, and traffic guards. Soon enough, provincial departments in charge of highways were given the power to take over main roads to plan and supervise road planning and construction(FOOTNOTERN#2). In a way, the automobile also contributed to the expansion of cities since it allowed for the construction of roads that were able to branch out even further.
The highway system depended on people buying cars and allowing them to travel long
Since transportation was easier and faster, people could live in the suburbs on the edge of towns. For example, queens outside New York doubled in size in the 1920s. By the end of the 1920s, more than 26 million cars were sold, and lots of new towns were created. Another advancement that is important is the development of trucks. In the beginning, trucks were old fashioned and had lots of flaws.
However, they also cost money to build and needed land to build on. People became reliant on cars, therefore the updated and new
Cars are transforming the lives of millions. You do not have to live near work. Cities explode outworks, creating giant suburbs. New highways were built and shopping malls with giant car parks. Over the hills a real-estate syndicate buys 500 acres.
1. Perception categories that significantly influenced walking frequency were landuse, and aesthetics and amenities. The safety, directness and continuity perception categories were not significant but had weak to moderate associations with land use and aesthetics perception. This implies improving perception of one category is bound to improve or negatively impact the perception of a correlated category. For example landuse perception was correlated with directness perception - which is intuitive, given that directness measured quick and easy access to land uses.
Gradually, that changed. In the 1790’s, a private company created a hard-surfaced road that went from Lancaster to Philadelphia. That started a road building craze that vastly increased
According to an encyclopedia source,by 1919,”the need for a planned system of national highways became discernible with the proliferating common use of cars in the United States”(Source #4).In addition, another source claims that “more than 90 percent of the nation’s households have access to automobiles”(Source #7).As directly indicated by these two sources,automoibles weren’t a luxury,but rather they were true necessities for many. While cars were being produced between 1908 and 1927,specifically that of Henry Ford’s Model T,many people now wanted to travel however needed an effective system that would be able to save them much more time. As a result,these very crucial interstate highways have ultimately expanded
These original routes have been built upon and more roads have been created around them with the roads from the 1920s acting as guidelines to how we drive and create roads today (Gilchrist). This new ability to travel inspired many Canadians, especially those from rural areas, to move to different regions throughout the nation. The development of cities with skyscrapers, hospitals and markets invited many Canadians to move away from their countryside hometowns (Cruxton, Wilson 166). This caused the population in cities to grow exponentially and resulted in the population of rural areas decreasing dramatically (Baldwin…
Tourism has become one of the important economic factor for any nation today. With the increase in technology, the world is gradually changing and becoming closer and smaller day by day. The country known for its advanced technology, Japan is popular in terms of travel, commerce, technology, cuisine, popular culture and shopping. Globalization has played a vital role in interchanging activities such as goods, services, technology, culture, and even the lifestyle of people around the world. Japan’s tourism has grown rapidly in the recent years.
