This is a project linking all the open spaces throughout South Essex from Thurrock to Southend.
Hampshire County Council has resisted upgrading the Billy Tail trail on Hayling Island for 30 years, citing its nature reserve status and a managed retreat policy imposed by English Nature. However, the Environment Agency now controls the area and has a policy of holding the line to protect the trail. While funding is still needed, this removes Hampshire County Council's excuse for not upgrading the trail to an all-weather surface, which would benefit users like cyclists, walkers, disability vehicles and runners. Local running and cycling groups support upgrading the trail to improve its condition.
The document proposes a 10-year capital improvement plan totaling over $2 billion to invest in Arlington County's transportation infrastructure from 2015 to 2024.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

3. Tourism impacts
• Cornwall – resident population of approx 500,000
– 5m tourism visits annually – supporting 63,000
jobs – 29% of total employment
• Devon – resident population of approx 1,000,000
– 8m tourism visits annually – supporting 81,000
– 16% of total employment

5. Camel Trail
• Original railway built in early 1830s
• Opened in the 1970s by local authority as a
footpath (Wadebridge to Padstow – 8km)
• Unauthorised use by cyclists in early 1980s
• Extensions to Bodmin and Poley’s Bridge/
Wenford Bridge
• Now approximately 28km in length
• Around 250,000 users (cyclists) each year

8. Tarka Trail
• Began life as the Taw/Torridge Country Park,
again predominantly as a footpath
• Became the Tarka Trail in 1994
• A 48km stretch, between Braunton and Meeth,
finally opened to cyclists in 1997
• Around 120,000 users each year

9. Where does the demand come from
From analysis of the case studies and other
evidence the primary factors that determine
recreational and tourism demand are:
• The proximity of population near to the route;
• The extent to which the route is traffic free;
• The imagery or appeal of the route;
• The ease of access to the route or network;
• The quality of trail: upgraded facilities, lack of
steep gradients and good surfaces.

10. Cycle tourism demand
• The proportion of recreation and tourism users
averages 59% of all trips in the UK.
• However, there is greater use by cyclists for
recreation and tourism purposes in rural locations,
typically around 70% on rural tourist trails.
• A survey on the Camel Trail estimated this to be
as high as 97%.

11. Where does the spending go?
• Food and drink
- Cafés/Public houses/Restaurants
• Accommodation
- Bed & Breakfast/Hotels/Camping/Bunk-barns
• Cycle hire
- Less successful in the UK
• Transport
• Gifts

12. Economic impact
• On the Camel Trail the local authority estimate the
direct spending to be €3m
• This may be a significant under-estimate ( could
as much as three times this)
• Direct spending support over 60 local jobs +
others from indirect and induced effects
• Anecdotal evidence of higher local multiplier from
cycle tourism

13. Conclusions
The Camel and Tarka Trails both have:
• Large holiday populations near to the route;
• Predominantly traffic free;
• Pass through pristine countryside with changing
landscapes;
• Access directly from local towns;
• The gentle gradients and good levels of
maintenance.
