Assessment Task 3 Flashcards
Define suburbanisation. What is an example in Sydney?
AKA urban sprawl
Rouse Hill - due to private/public partnerships to develop new infrastructure projects
A movement of people to areas immediately next to large cities (development of large regional shopping centres, change in employment (working from home, businesses set up in the suburbs)
construction of expressways, public transport)
Define exurbanisation. What is an example in Sydney?
Dural: 43.2% work from home compared to 31% in NSW
A process whereby people, usually affluent, move from the city to rural areas but continue to maintain an urban way of life either through long distance commuting or technology (peri-urban fringe)
Define counterurbanisation. What is an example in Sydney?
People leaving Sydney to move to Orange of Dubbo
A marked decline in the total population, or growth of the population, of large metropolitan areas and the subsequent growth of smaller urban centres at their expense
Define decentralisation. What is an example in Sydney?
Parramatta - secondary CBD, direct trasnport in multiple forms to the city (e.g. train, buses, Parramatta road)
Redistributing commercial, industrial and government activity in order to force redistribution of population and strain on infrastructure. It involves the movement of economic activities from large urban centres to smaller rural and regional centres and communities
Define consolidation. What is an example in Sydney?
Auburn - characterised by many families leading to liveliness and infrastructure such as playgrounds, main train station
The process of increasing or maintaining the density of housing in established residential areas
Define urban decay. What is an example in Sydney?
Redfern - mismanagement by the local council authorities when organising the higher-density housing, hsitory of crime and social tension
The deterioration of an urban area due to neglect or age
Define urban renewal. What is an example in Sydney?
Barangaroo - has undergone urban decay and was redveloped from an industrial container port
The process of redeveloping areas with low property values in order to create new infrastructure and increase tax revenue (higher class housing)
Define urban village. What is an example in Sydney?
Newtown - street Art, progressive, high foot traffic, cafe culture
Distinctive residential districts comprising a common culture which forms an identifiable community
Define spatial exclusion. What is an example in Sydney?
Sydney Park Village
* Physical spatial exclusion
* Gated Community, only accessible by residents
The protection of privileged lifestyles, which
has resulted in restrictions in spatial access and freedom of
movement for urban dwellers
Describe the nature of an economic enterprise
- Pond/tank based barramundi farming
- Ex-situ, therefore it requires temperature regulation
- Oxygen must also be managed along with nitrates and ammonia
Account for the location of an economic enterprise you have studied at a local scale
Advantages
* Suitable environment, since barramundi prefer warm environments (25-30 degrees)
* Land in Cairns is cheaper than Sydney, and won’t be pushed out by growing urban areas
* Gets to use the Aus-made label, which require high standards that customers prioritise
Disadvantages
* Hard to ship things out (cost and freshness) - however this has little effect due to 2-week shelf life
* Adjacent to two world heritage sites, srtong regulations on effluent, EPA QLD monitors water discharge
Desribe the ecological dimensions (+ environmental constraints) affecting a local economic enterprise
+ responses
GBR pollution from effluent
* Nitrate filtration using moving bed bioreactors (anaerobic digestion)
* using the natural wetland to filter the water
Pests
* pelican cormorants and crocodiles. Shooting permits are given for damage mitigation. But this is mostly just for noise. Crocodiles are protected and need to be removed to a reserve or zoo. They cannot be killed.
Disease: lice (+ticks and fleas) that affect the fish, biosecurity hazard
* Vaccinating fish againts bacteria
Oxygen (can also be used a little in nature)
* During the night oxygen can drop. Paddle wheels are used as well as backup generators, and powdered hydrogen peroxide can be used during emergencies
What are some internal linkages within the economic enterprise?
Research
* JCU partnerships mutually beneficial
* Denitrification, pest-control
Coles partnership
* Restricts price point flexibility
* Cheaper sales in bulk
* Moves from wholesaling to restaurants
Financial linkages
* Merger with Mainstream Aquaculture (Melb and Vic) in 2017
* Horizontal and vertical integration
* Access to greater capital
* Opportunities for increased revenue (linked to nature)
What are some external linkages within the economic enterprise?
- Fish fry - Infinity blue, 100,000 per year grown in Arizona
- Hatchery in Melbourne - Mainstream
- Fish feed and vaccines
- Transport - Air freight to 30 countries from major Aus cities
What are the effects of global changes on your enterprise?
- Growth in demand for high protein/low fat foods leads to competition with other barra growers as well as other fish species
- Diseases - biosecurity: in other countries where biosecurity is less regulated, they can produce more and cheaper, however they cannot use Aus-made logo as people overseas seek high quality over quantity
- Technologies: no GMOs but GMOs by other companies and in other species e.g. salmon can increase competition
- Labelling: Ausmade, uses BAP instead of ASC
- COVID: not many people working so that was fine, retail trade increased dramatically
