broad demographic gives rise to the concern of overdevelopment without significant consideration given to open space and natural system requirements. The localities natural environment is the core of the town 's assets and it is vital to manage development in a manner that ensures key natural assets are protected (SurfCoast, 2012). The consideration of ‘Open Space’ and’ Natural Systems’ in the Spring Creek Structure Plan will pave the road for a healthy, active and vibrant community within the Jan

supply was almost nonexistent and being used so carelessly that it became an inevitable to drill for more oil. The dependence on oil is evident in a graph where in the late 1970s, petroleum energy consumption is nearly at 40 quadrillion Btu, and natural gas was at 20 quadrillion Btu (07 Environment-Oil Crisis Readings.pdf). Alternative energy sources were considered, but these sources were just as dangerous, if not worse to produce, due to their cost and power per unit. In fact, it was a talking

Hydraulic Fracturing is the advanced process of obtaining oil and or gas by drilling straight down into the ground and then the drill head slowly starts to curve out horizontally to where they think they will get the maximum amount of natural gas or oil. Once the well is ready then tonnes of gallons of toxic fracking fluid; a mix of water, sand and harsh chemicals, is injected at a very high pressure to fracture the rocks so that they can release the oil or gas. The gas then flows out

for energy hungry nations such as Japan, methane could the key element in developing national energy independence. Methane in the form of methane hydrate, a crystalline form of natural gas found at the bottom of oceans and in the Arctic permafrost, will within the next twenty years reshape the global geopolitical landscape of energy. At room temperature, a solid chunk of methane hydrate can be lit with a single match and produce intense heat. Colloquially known as "fire ice", there is an estimated

photography is. Observers have stated: The presence of growth numbers of people has disrupted the mating habits of several endangered species, they say, and the construction of tourist infrastructure—such as road and hotels—has scarred the islands’ natural landscape and polluted the air and water (2). Places cannot handle the influx of people coming in, and

can be an obstacle on getting from one point to another especially if the water supply is behind the mountain. We tend to leave close where water is reachable and avoid being close to a mountain. Landscapes can be a great advantage to humans or a way mother nature just put it out there for natural resources. A desert it’s a great

There are still doubts about whether hydraulic fracturing will follow the forecasts put out by the United States energy Information Administration. Hughes write that producing 45 percent of the nations gas through fracking is basically impossible (31). He thinks that “drilling rates assumed by the EIA to meet its forecast are inadequate” (Hughes 31). Hughes supports that the current drilling rates of about 20,000 new wells per year are woefully short of what is needed to increase gas output (31)

According to the planning consultants of Somersworth, New Hampshire (2010) a new Master Plan has been revised for a vision into 2020 due to significant investment in both the private and public sector. Somersworth is currently undergoing significant change since 2000 and these modifications to the city allow for several social and economic opportunities in the area. Development and redevelopment that has occurred since 2000 has been the relocation of both City Hall and the Police Department, the
