Building On Spatial Mismatch: A New Review Of Literature And An Example Case Study, Steven Matthew Reeves
Building On Spatial Mismatch: A New Review Of Literature And An Example Case Study, Steven Matthew Reeves
Planning Theses
Barriers to employment exist at different levels for minority groups, especially those that are residentially segregated. Many studies have examined these barriers, including a physical separation between the residential location and the available job opportunities since John Kain’s 1968 Spatial Mismatch Hypothesis. However, recent studies of modal mismatch, racial mismatch, and skill or language mismatch, have been identified with significant impact on accessible employment without being included in a comprehensive review of mismatch literature. This research provides an updated literature review of Spatial Mismatch. It also includes a case study of a little-studied region, Dallas – Fort Worth metropolitan area. …

Theses and Dissertations
Që nga salla e parë e sportit e deri tek sallat e sportit të realizuara ditëve të sotme paraqitet një karakteristikë kryesore – këto salla gjithmonë tentojnë të ndryshojnë si për nga përmbajta ashtu edhe nga dukja e jashtme, gjithmonë duke pasur parasyshë kriteret për ndërtesat apo fushat e sportit. Në vitet e fundit, objektet sportive janë bërë gjithnjë e më komplekse, të shumëllojshme dhe hibride të cilat në vete përmbajnë jo vetëm sportin por edhe aktivitete të tjera si kulturë, art e hapësira të tjera të cilat i dedikohen një komuniteti. Prandaj duke e ditur se në qytetin e …
Guidelines For Designing Nodal Landmarks That Foster Enhanced Pedestrian Wayfinding, Imageability, And Sense Of Place In The Central Business District, Of Dallas, Texas, Michael A. Webb
Landscape Architecture Masters & Design Theses
City nodes are designed and used to help improve a city’s wayfinding, imageability, and sense of place. If these nodes lack evidence-based image creation and navigation facilitation design parameters, the result is often disorientation within the urban environment. This research through design thesis suggests that the Central Business District of Dallas, Texas is an ideal location for proposed design improvements. Backed by a review of literature, survey responses, behavioral observations, and research-through design, a problematic node was chosen for a detailed design proposal to improve the wayfinding, imageability, and sense of place within the West End Historic District of Dallas, …

A Study Of Public Parks, Equity, And The Creation Of Single Member Council Districts In Dallas, Texas, Annabeth Webb
Landscape Architecture Masters & Design Theses
This research explores the civic governance and political structure of the city council election systems in Dallas, Texas after the Voting Rights Act in order to discover the change in minority representation and its impact on the equity and distribution of public parks within the city of Dallas. This thesis explores this particular political mechanism for equity creation in the City of Dallas during two time periods: at the drastic change to 14 single-member districts in 1991, and the changes made beyond the 1994 Dallas Plan. Within the Dallas planning history, there is little literature on equity and history of …

Insertion Of ‘Green Webs’ – A Holistic Approach To Urban Tree Planting In Dallas County, Texas, Niveditha Dasa Gangadhar
Landscape Architecture Masters & Design Theses
The urban space poses many challenges for the growth and survival of trees. The urban fabric is often knitted with concrete, stone, copper, and iron, in the form of sidewalks, parking lots, buildings, wires, and pipes, which displace elements of the natural environment. This has given rise to urban heat islands, polluted air, ineffective water management, and other social problems (Nowak et al., 2010). Currently, efforts are being made worldwide to bring back the natural environment through green infrastructure strategies. Ecological inserts in the urban fabric called ‘Green Webs’ can provide environmental, economic, and social and ecological benefits. ‘Green Webs’ …

Public Art Master Planning For Small Towns: A Study In Pilot Point, Texas, Monty Mcmahen
Landscape Architecture Masters & Design Theses
This design thesis explores the development of a public art master plan as a tool for small towns to address issues and opportunities in their communities. This exploration was undertaken through the study and design of a proposed public art master plan for the small town of Pilot Point, Texas. A public art master plan can empower communities to embrace art as a unique and vital resource to help shape and reflect the community’s cultural identity while leveraging the arts for economic development and other benefits that enhance quality of life (Markusen & Gadwa, 2010). While public art master plans …

Memorial Earth Park © An Environmentally Sustainable Public Space: Synthesizing Burial Mounds, Family Trees And Human Body Composting In North Texas, Gregory A. Craig
Landscape Architecture Masters & Design Theses
Over the next 30 years, the population growth in North Texas will place increasing demands on our urban infrastructure and natural resources, while reducing our available public land and open space. Impacts from expanded urban development will decrease our tree canopy coverage, reduce air & water quality and increase impervious surfaces, urban heat island effects and storm water flooding. Environmental sustainability is critical to combat the negative impacts of future growth in North Texas. The memorial landscape is a landscape of tremendous cultural significance in America (Wasserman, 1998) , but the two most traditional means of disposing of human remains …
