Impacts Of Urbanization On Environmental Resources: A Land Use Planning Perspective, Gehendra Kharel
Planning Theses
The main purpose of this thesis is to (1) study the impacts of urbanization on environmental resources, and (2) propose land use planning strategies to avoid or at least minimize the impacts from future land use planning and decision making process. Urbanization, one of the major drivers of land use change, has profound impacts on environmental resources. It has been revealed that more than one third of the U.S. water resources have already been impaired or polluted, and many species have become endangered or threatened with some already gone extinct and more on line. My analysis of the impact of …
Preparing For The Hearth Act: Preventing And Ending Homelessness At The Local Level, Laura Kunkel
Preparing For The Hearth Act: Preventing And Ending Homelessness At The Local Level, Laura Kunkel
Planning Theses
The HEARTH Act of 2009 expands care to people experiencing homelessness by giving communities more freedom in allocation of their resources based on their ability to produce measurable results. Although regulations have not been released on this legislation, communities, called Continuums of Care, can prepare for program changes by monitoring current data for areas in need of growth within the system. One of the goals included in the statute is to move a homeless family from an emergency shelter to permanent supportive housing within 30 days. This paper uses data from the Annual Progress Reports from grantees in the Continuum …
The Walkable Neighborhood Based On Retail Requirements: Impact Of Population Density On Market Area, Kendal V. Pope
The Walkable Neighborhood Based On Retail Requirements: Impact Of Population Density On Market Area, Kendal V. Pope
Planning Theses
Recent planning thought has focused on how to configure the city to reduce dependence on private automobiles. One important strain of this thinking is how to promote a city where daily needs can be satisfied on foot. Using the tools of Central Place Theory and Demand Threshold analysis, this work studies the required population density to bring grocery shopping within pedestrian range of the population. The analysis is based on the grocery market in Dallas County, Texas. As long as economies of scale and consumer price sensitivity continue to operate as they have, the alternatives will remain much higher density …
Understanding Social Networks In Frazier Courts Hope Vi Development, Christopher Buentello
Understanding Social Networks In Frazier Courts Hope Vi Development, Christopher Buentello
Planning Theses
The HOPE VI program enacted in 1992 represented a shift in public housing by addressing resident's needs through physical design improvements, self-sufficiency programs, and the deconcentration of poverty. Funding through HOPE VI allowed local housing authorities to demolish deteriorated public housing units and replace them with new income-inclusive housing units. The "hope" would be that low income residents would interact with middle income residents to access resources that are normally beyond the reach of low income individuals. This assumes of course that residents will interact amongst each other. Therefore, I conducted a survey of residents at Dallas' Frazier Courts to …
