Recently ranked Skytrax 5-Star Airport, Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA) is well known for its extensive airline networks and quality supporting services. This paper is to evaluate the performance of HKIA as a leading regional aviation hub when encountering the keen competition of four other major airports in Greater Pearl River Delta (GPRD) region; all of which are within a radial distance of 100km of one another. An in-depth comparative analysis for the five GPRD airports is carried out with the application of the Aviation Hub Model and the Airport Competitiveness Index. Together with the review of the development of hub-and-spoke operation strategies, the worldwide air freedom liberalization as well as the national and regional policies, the study highlights the implications and significance drawn from the analysis upon the HKIA and four other GPRD airports. A series of feasible recommendations will be provided on the future development of their positioning and functions. / published_or_final_version / Urban Planning and Design / Master / Master of Science in Urban Planning

Bali, an island east of Java, is one of the five international gateways connecting Indonesia with the many foreign countries from Asia, Australia, the Americas, and Europe. The island has a richness of natural scenery and cultural events based on strong Hindu's beliefs.All of these unique phenomena attract people from different cultures and nations to visit and be part of these celebrations, as well as to enjoy the warm breeze and palm trees along the beaches.A 1989 Department of Tourism, Post and Telecommunication in Indonesia's Report suggests that the number of tourist coming to private agencies are working together to improve the island'sBali increases as much as 15 percent annually ( 1989 Indonesia Hand Book). To accommodate this development, the Government and infrastructure and build accommodations which range from three to five star international hotels. The other important element that the island needs is to expandthe airport facility to accommodate the fast growing number of international flights that accommodate this.The major goal of this project is to plan and design new airport facilities with emphasis on the new design for the international terminal. This design of the new international terminal building at the Bali International Airport, Indonesia, is an attempt to introduce a new concept of a built form using vernacular architectural concepts as the starting point. The technology required by the functions inherent in the program will be used by the architect to translate these considerations into reality.The design approach for this project is mainly based on the beliefs and order which have been traditionally followed and applied by the people of Bali. However, the intention of this project is not to literally design something which has a form borrowed from the traditional form, but that which is developed beyond the traditional concept and utilized this concept in concert with modern structural engineering and materials. Therefore to ensure the success of a design for this important facility, it is imperative to find the essence and the spirit of the traditional architecture and represent them through a modern built form. / Department of Architecture
