associated advocates (SSAA), Juba International Airport in Juba, South Sudan.
It was guided by the following specific objectives, that included determining
the (i) to identify the arrangements for assessing birds and wildlife hazards;
(ii) To establish the arrangements for implementing birds and wildlife control
programmes. (iii) Establish whether there is a relationship between bird
strikes and wildlife measures at southern Sudan associated advocates (SSAA),
Juba International Airport In Juba, South Sudan . The study adopted a
descriptive survey design .it used questionnaires, face to face interviews. The
target population was 220 from which a sample size of 145 was derived. Findings

dominated the study (64.3%); married were (53.6%) other marital status
category; masters certificate holders dominated the study 50% and on occupation
others dominated the entire sample size with 54.2%. The
findings on Inspection operations revealed that eight items were measured and
rated as follows; Maintenance requirements (Average mean=2.43, std .99116)
Maintenance of pavements (Average mean=2.50, std 1.02221), Inspection security
dilemma (Average mean=2.64, std. 1.08997) Friction Testing (Average mean=2.41
std. .99248), Pavement markings (Average mean=2.18 std. 1.03375) Electrical
Systems (Average mean= 2.25 std. .85146)
and AG L Maintenance (Average mean=2.49 std .63617) with an overall mean of
2.41).
The findings on Inspection revealed that seven items were
measured and rated as follows; Public participation and Democracy (Average
mean=3.06, std .74603) Non-paved areas in the strip(Average mean=2.83, std
.59523), Executive and rule of Law (Average mean=2.92 std. .70057) Traditional
& customary arrangement (Average mean=2.78 std. .68791), Transparency and
accountability (Average mean=2.80 std. .72664)

Regarding Inspection operations, it was
recommended that; Equitable sharing of resources, Strengthening local
administration, Empowerment of traditional leadership, Government to treat all
communities equally, Minister visit all
communities regularly, Provision of judges and public prosecutors; construction
of courts in the counties, Upgrading of
unqualified employees through capacity-building, compensation of salaries to employees. While
issues of inclusive Inspection and equity are important drivers of operations,
these statements highlight complex and in some cases long-standing
Inspection-related issues which largely went beyond the mandate of the peace
conference. Political accommodation
approach tackles Inspection issues directly.
Regarding Inspection it was recommended that; even passengers
who normally receive expedited screening passengers, may at times receive a
pat-down. A pat-down may include inspection of the head, neck, arms, torso,
legs, and feet. This includes head coverings and sensitive areas such as
breasts, groin, and the buttocks.
It is a requirement that the Runway and Taxiways are
inspected at regular intervals to ensure that the surface complies with the
criteria for use by aircraft. The Runway pavement is required to be in an
acceptable state of repair, with access and egress unimpaired and to be free
from FOD and wildlife.
TSA incorporates unpredictable security measures, both seen
and unseen, to accomplish our transportation security mission.
Security measures begin long before you arrive at the
airport. TSA works closely with the intelligence and law enforcement
communities to share information. Additional security measures are in place
from the time you get to the airport until you get to your destination.
TSA adjusts processes and procedures to meet the evolving
threat and to achieve the highest levels of transportation security. Because of
this, you may notice changes in our procedures from time to time.
TSA counts on the traveling public to report unattended bags
or packages; individuals in possession of a threatening item; and persons
trying to enter a restricted area or similar suspicious activities at airports,
train stations, bus stops and ports. If You See Something, Say Something™.
Report suspicious activity to local law enforcement.
Passenger screening at the airport is part of TSA’s layered
approach to security to get you safely to your destination. TSA’s
screening procedures are intended to prevent prohibited items and other threats
to transportation security from entering the sterile area of the airport and
are developed in response to information on threats to transportation security.
