Arctic Fox Home Range Characteristics in an Oil-Development Area

Snatch theft incidents are on the rise in Malaysia especially in the cities. It tends to happen in cities because there is a possibility to commit it and both crime and urban are often associated with each other. The aim of this paper is to find out whether the building with two or more levels in urban area contributes to the snatch theft incidents. The present study has been taken up to detect the hotspots of snatch theft in Selangor, Malaysia. The crime data were obtained by requesting and analysing the index crime statistical data from the Royal Malaysian Police (RMP). This study made use of the Geographical Information System (GIS) where its 3D modelling function to construct, assess and analyse the area with high snatch theft cases. The crime reports of 2010 until 2015 were geocoded and the crime maps were prepared in ArcGIS 10.2. It was found that the hotspot area is a mix-used development area which consists mainly of commercial and residential areas of more than two-level buildings.

An archaeological excavation of four areas approximately 0.39ha in total, of land at Watery Lane, Church Crookham, Hampshire, was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology in November and December 2016. It followed the recording of two Pill Boxes and a trial trench evaluation of a wider development area. In all four areas archaeological features were identified. The artefactual evidence indicated five phases of archaeological activity, with features dating from the late prehistoric, medieval, medieval/post-medieval, and post-medieval to modern wartime period. Several heavily truncated isolated prehistoric features were identified, as were field boundary ditches of medieval to the post-medieval date. Many undated, but presumed modern, postholes were found across the site. The postholes may have been the result of an extensive network of Second World War temporary timber structures known as tactical obstacles (including barbed wire entanglements and tank proof obstacles) erected during anti-invasion defence works. These structures were likely to have been part of the important Stop Line Defence network, Line A of the GHQ (General Headquarters) line of defences, which were planned to slow down a ground invasion.

Subject. This article deals with the theoretical and methodological issues of assessing the investment attractiveness of the advanced development areas. Objectives. The article aims to clarify the economic essence of the category Investment Attractiveness of Advanced Development Areas and related categories, and improve the methodological support to assess the investment attractiveness taking into account the characteristics of these areas. Methods. For the study, we used the methods of analysis and synthesis, generalization, analogy, classification, grouping, and systematization. Results. The article presents a methodology for assessing the investment attractiveness of the advanced development areas, taking into account indicators classified under three groups, namely investment potential, investment environment, and investment risk. It also offers recommendations to determine the type of investment attractiveness. Conclusions. Investment attractiveness, as a complex characteristic of the advanced development area, gets formed in the context of the influence of internal and external factors that are quantifiable and qualitatively assessed. To meet the needs of investors, a methodology that includes current assessment and forecasts is needed, indicating the areas of possible investment risk.
