Future Trends. Examined the evolving roles of public police and private secu- rity; discussed future challenges requiring police–private security cooperation, in- cluding information age crime (computer and high technology crime), new tech- nologies for public safety, private security in traditional law enforcement roles, globalization of private security, and increased international cooperation by law enforcement; and identified strategies for dealing with emerging trends in crime and terrorism while protecting civil liberties.
Future Trends. 4.3.2.1 The characteristics of the proposed site area will be subject to significant change as the land becomes available for development. The future environment will include new road networks, i.e. the proposed Road D1, Road D2, Route 7 and its associated slip roads, within the Telegraph Bay Area. As a result, increased road traffic activity is anticipated for the region which will likely lead to an increase in the ambient levels of gaseous and particulate pollution.
Future Trends. A list will be built during the project with the trends we all see or discover should be listed here.
Future Trends. The future will see a continuation of the recent pattern of increasingly sophisticated and mature relationships between resource companies, Indigenous communities and other stakeholders (e.g. government and not for profit sector). In particular, the following trends are emerging: Focus on long term relationship building: Resource companies have learned that Indigenous relations are not a one-off exercise focused on the agreement-making process. Rather, companies are recognising the need to build long term, mutually beneficial relationships with Indigenous groups in order to maintain their ‘social licence to operate’. Agreements are increasingly aimed at cementing long term relationships rather immediate access to land. See Part 5. Emphasis on sustainability of benefits: Benefits from resource projects offer Indigenous groups the opportunity for long term, sustainable solutions to Indigenous levels of disadvantage. Through income flows, training and employment opportunities, and business development, resource projects can contribute to ‘closing the gap’ in living standards between Indigenous and non-Indigenous people. The capacity of agreements to provide inter-generational benefits for Indigenous groups is increasingly recognised as the hallmark of good agreement-making. Mining companies such as Rio Tinto have sought to design royalty packages and governance arrangements in agreements with this objective in mind. See Parts 4 and 5.
Future Trends. Networking services become ever more important in the economy and the everyday operation of most business. Together with increased complexity come also increased requirements from the users of these services, as they rely on them for their productivity. These trends make the existence of a properly designed SLA document very important, both for the users of the service, and for the provider of the service, who wants to avoid excessive and unpredictable liability. The critical nature of networking services in modern business environment requires strict and unambiguously defined rules and agreements. This evolution is certain to continue in the future, which will result to the greater need for complex but clearly written, usable and real-world functional SLAs.
Future Trends. 5.2.2.1 The characteristics of the Study area will be subject to significant change after the commissioning of Route 7 in year 2007. The increased traffic activity in the subject area will result in elevated background noise levels.
Future Trends. One of the major challenges facing the social services sector in the coming years will be the demographic changes taking place in Scotland. The composition of the population is changing with the number of older people in the population growing. In 1911, people who were over 65 accounted for 5% of the population, and in 1951, 10%. In 2001 they constituted 16%, but by 2020 this age group is expected to make up 21% of the population. The growth of the over 80s is proportionately even more rapid. In 1911, less than 1% of the population was aged 80 and over, and in 1951 the figure was still only 1%. However in 2001, this had risen to 4% and by 2031 8% of the population will be aged 80 and over. Consultation evidence suggested that the ageing population will lead to an increase in demand for care services. This is based on the assumption that those above retirement age have traditionally been the main users of care services. However, the patterns of care may well change over time, with a greater demand for housing support services and home care workers driven by an increased policy emphasis on supporting people in their own homes. One major implication of such a change in delivery would be that the relative demand for residential care places would decline over time, or at least remain static. This suggests that an ageing population will impact on the care sector, but that the impact will be uneven and dependent on policy direction and emphasis. It could be concluded that an older population will need a greater degree of care. However, evidence has suggested that older people are generally healthier “age for age” (and will continue to be healthier) than in previous years. In effect, people are staying healthier for longer and so are better able to be self sufficient for longer. So although the population will become older, it is not to say that the burden of care will increase by the same proportion. This is still contested, with an alternative view that people will live longer but will need care services due to higher levels of chronic illness. Prediction of the likely workforce implications of these changes is problematic but work has begun to try and build future scenarios that take into account the demographic projections discussed above. Stage 3 of the SSA work will take this scenario planning further forward. However, assuming that the population predictions are accurate, that there are no sudden policy shifts, and that there will be no changes in the curre...
