	ARCHIVE LISTING Global Village Project Application of methods to facilitate more authentic relationships between individuals from different continents by the use of design to overcome prejudices and foster a real force for world peace. Freedom to Travel Project Destination design has great significance for people of the modern world who can act as ambassadors of design under leadership of IDAD, becoming instruments of peaceful influence in the promotion of travel for the interchange of ecologically-friendly visits among peoples of the world. Coastal Engineering Project Develop criteria for technical standards on coastlines involving architectural constructs and human/marine interface issues for the design and planning of all complexes, insuring that coastal technology principles are properly applied to architectural projects. Entertainment Design Project Land planning and envronmental design issues facing themed entertainment projects include multifaceted design and technical issues ranging from location selection to creative services in order to promote economic benefits for the host communities and preserve regional character while limiting exploitation of social and environmental resources. Code of Ethics Project Promoting guidelines that would highlight characteristics which engender sociocultural responsibility and encourage carefully planned, well-designed tourist destinations which can benefit the host community and all participants by exposing them to a variety of ideas, cultures and traits. Harmonious Development Project Insuring the protection, improvement and enhancement of man's environment, while master-planning for rational tourism management that produces economic benefits, improved quality of life, awareness of the diversity of nature and preservation of cultural heritage. Health, Security & Safety Project Hygienic and sanitation standards to combat sickness, crime and accidents need to be formulated and acted upon, ranging from design issues, which can reduce threats, to environmental issues of polluted hydroscapes, infectious insects and tainted food and water supplies. Land-Based Activities Project Initiatives related to the source and severity of in-land activities' impacts on hydroscapes, affecting the quality and potential uses of marine, coastal and associated freshwater courses and basins by inhabitants and resort communities whose economy is dependent on the environmental resource. Education and Training Project Key to creating truly responsible, sustainable tourism destinations is education of the participants in development of these ventures, from local citizens, to politicians, to realtors and contractors. Design professionals carry the primary role in this initiative. Activity-Based Design Project Events or conditions which are the primary attractants for travel and tourism, rather than the location, such as hydroscape sports, subsurface sports and off-shore yachting produce their own particular set of design issues to be resolved. All are dependent on water conditions preservation. Tourism-Infused Design Project Designers may need more formal avenues for the integration of tourism -specific principles in their design training. Encourage inclusion of guidelines adopted by the World Travel and Tourism Council and other similar executives involved in resort and hydroscape development. Videography Project Environmental interpretation and design documentation of the world's great resorts and hydroscape destinations. Futurists' commentary and educational documentary on IDAD multipurpose activities. Vulnerable Zones Project The narrow coastlines of the world's oceans are the basis for most of our fisheries. Island ecosystems, salt marshes, mangroves, estuaries, coral reefs and shallow waters provide stability to world ecosystem health, though vulnerable; therefore, designers must influence these knowlegeably. International Policy Project IDAD will work with decision-makers to foster universal and transgenerational design to recognize the importance of mutual cooperation in order to increase two-way tourism. IDAD will promote the sharing of information and statistics to encourage investments in third world and deprived region tourism to enhance mutual understanding and good will. Conservation-Oriented Design Project Leadership role of IDAD in raising the issues of receding glaciers, warming waters and climate changes, addressing the ramifications on travel and tourism design and the ecology of natural resources, erosion and sediment control, and wetland and water quality issues. Exploration Project The grants sourcing and funding of polydisciplinary world travel in support of IDAD goals and objectives concerning specific projects or in the direction and choreography of cinematography.
