(De)gendering employment and family practices through grandparental childcare in Australia
This article examines the organization of childcare between generations and genders in Australian families where parents and grandparents participate in childcare. The rise in maternal labour market participation and dual-earner families has generated demand for grandparental childcare. Grandmothers provide most of this childcare, but little is known about intergenerational arrangements concerning paid work and childcare. These practices are anal…

Assessing and managing scenery of the Caribbean Coast of Colombia
Andalusia, Spain
The 1101 km length of the Andalusian coast (Spain) was assessed for coastal scenery at 45 specific locations. Selected areas covered resort (3), urban (19), village (8), rural (10) and remote (5) bathing areas. Scenery was analyzed for physical and human parameters via 26 selected parameters. These parameters were obtained by interviews of >500 people on European beaches. Each parameter was assessed via a one-to-five-point attribute scale, which …
Blue Flag or Red Herring
An incremental scenic assessment of the Glamorgan Heritage Coast, UK
In Wales some 500 km (42%) of coastline has been designated as heritage coasts (HCs) and these areas are under increasing pressure from human activities. A 'Coastal Scenic Evaluation System', utilising a checklist of 26 physical and human use parameters, was applied at 500 m intervals along the 23 km Glamorgan Heritage Coast (GHC) to assess aesthetic changes within the HC boundaries. The technique utilised fuzzy logic analyses to quantify inheren…
A rationale for beach selection by the public on the coast of Wales, UK
Questionnaires were completed by 2306 beach users at 19 Welsh beaches with respect to beach selection parameters. The modal group of respondents was female aged 30–39. Beach choice was primarily determined by clean litter‐free sand and seawater, followed by safety. Refreshment facilities and beach awards were deemed minor considerations by the public when choosing a beach to visit. Approximately 58 per cent of respondents were aware of beach awar…
Application of a Novel Bathing Area Evaluation Technique—a case study of Croatian Island beaches
By virtue of their high potential for recreation for both local and overseas tourism, bathing areas represent valuable national resources requiring effective management. Increased leisure time enhances the desirability of such recreational areas and increased public awareness of health and safety issues, raises expectations of quality and desire of choice, thereby raising the need for an effective bathing area classification scheme. To date, most…
A new methodology for evaluating coastal scenery
Coastal scenery evaluated by utilization of selected landscape components was subjected to a fuzzy logic systems approach. Twenty‐six top‐rated parameters were identified from a literature search/questionnaire surveys carried out in Malta, Turkey and the UK and coastal scenery investigated at 57 sites. A coastal scenic evaluation checklist system was finalized and consisted of assessment parameters based on a five‐point scale ranging from low to …
A Comparison of Tourist Evaluation of Beaches in Malta, Romania and Turkey
The characteristics, perceptions, attitudes and behaviour of beach users at three locations: St George's Bay, Malta, Mamaia, Romania and Olu Deniz, Turkey, were determined from questionnaire surveys. Respondents comprised locals, domestic and foreign tourists. Results for these parameters had substantial agreement both across the three beaches and with previous studies. The amounts beach users were willing to pay (WTP), via the contingent valuati…
Marine Debris
Debris into both the justification and the basis for working toward this balance at all socioeconomic and political levels.We present a summary review of the amounts, types, and distribution of marine debris around the world as well as its biological, social, and economic impacts.We also address the maritime and land-based sources of marine debris, providing legal reviews, case studies, and strategies for controlling both sources.At all stages in…
La gestion des milieux dunaires littoraux. Evolution de leur vulnérabilité à partir d'une liste de contrôle. Etude de cas dans le sud du Pays de Galles et en Bretagne occidentale
L'article a pour objectif de mettre au point une approche méthodique dans la collecte d'une base de données destinée à l'évaluation de la vulnérabilité des milieux dunaires côtiers. La liste de contrôle (checklist) établie s'appuie sur un ensemble ordonné de facteurs environnementaux que l'on quantifie séparément en utilisant des indices chiffrés bien hiérarchisés. La somme des points attribués permet d'aboutir à l'Indice Réel de Vulnérabilité qu…
