“…They are ecologically degraded, yet represent a form of aquatic habitat that is otherwise scarce in cities, and are therefore invaluable . They are often esthetically unappealing and chemically contaminated, yet contain notable cultural and historic value . For some people, they are the only aquatic ecosystems with which they may develop any familiarity during their daily lives.…”

Urban rivers: novel ecosystems, new challenges

Urban rivers can be considered novel or hybrid ecosystems, and as such have experienced substantial biotic and abiotic changes that render them problematic to return to historic system states. Many urban river interventions have limited ecological benefits because such novelty is not considered, and fundamental changes in state are extremely difficult, if not impossible, to reverse while maintaining the societal functions of the system. Consequently, interventions have tended to focus on societal benefits rather than ecological improvements. But perhaps a more appropriate response is to embrace the ecological novelty inherent to urban rivers rather than trying to reverse or remove it, and find ways to enhance ecological function alongside novel conditions and species assemblages. Ecological engineering techniques have only been applied in a limited way to heavily urbanized rivers, but may represent the best options available within these highly compromised systems. The development of such techniques presents several challenges, including understanding and accepting biotic and abiotic novelty, increasing ecological functioning and resilience rather than restoring extirpated species, and rigorously testing interventions to determine efficacy. In part this will require a cultural shift in perception of urban rivers, particularly among managers, engineers and conservationists, to allow novel habitat creation and the establishment of atypical biotic assemblages. Such change sits within a wider ecological agenda to incorporate a greater range of species alongside humans in the urban environment, and improve urban ecosystem services. Urban rivers also present notable scientific opportunities, including more radical experimentation, system cocreation, and comparisons across global urban regions.

“…Share development progress in the field of sports that boils down to increase cultural and sporting achievements. Through systematic sports coaching, the quality of human resources can be directed at improving self-control, responsibility, discipline, sportsmanship, which in turn can obtain sporting achievements that can arouse national pride [43]. Therefore, sports development needs to get more proportional attention through coaching, management, planning and systematic implementation in national development.…”

This study aims to determine the perception of sports teachers about the Sipin Lake area which is used as Sport Tourism in Jambi City. Because making an object in an area that can be used as a sports area and a place of tourism can boost various fields, like in the field of sports, tourism, and education. Methodology: Using Mixed Methods. Where, the number of samples in this study was as many as 108 teachers who were around the area of Lake Sipin Sport Tourism in Jambi City using the Purposive Sampling technique. The instruments used were teacher perception questionnaire and semi-structured interviews. Data were then analyzed with the help of the SPSS 21 application to find descriptive statistics in the form of Mean, Min, Max, and category, and use interviews and documentation to strengthen the quantitative data that have been obtained through the questionnaire provided. Findings: The results of this study found that teachers have good perception, which is indicated by a dominant good result of 68.2% teachers, according to them by making Lake Sipin a Sport Tourism area will make students motivated to become rowing athletes who can make the school name even the region. Contribution and Recommendation: This research contributes to all elements, both sports, tourism, and education, by making the Sipin Lake object as sport tourism.

“…Strohmayer's (2013) discussion of failed Parisian Olympic bids highlights the tension between having built, non-sport heritage structures as part of the background 'set' for international sporting event television audiences, while also realizing that the demands of contemporary sports venues are not always compatible with a built heritage environment in terms of aesthetics and size. Anton et al (2013) further argue that sporting events often irrevocably change the built heritage environment, often changing the meanings of these environments in the pursuit of tourism and other post-event legacies. Finally, Boukas et al (2013) contend that sporting events can have the potential for generating post-event heritage tourism, citing the 2004 Athens Olympic Games as a sporting event that had implications for the city's post-Games heritage tourism.…”
