In this study GIS suitability analysis technique has been used to identify suitable locations for permeable pavements and bioretention ponds / rain gardens; two of the four main LID Best Management Practices (BMPs) within the City of Dallas. The Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) was used to determine weights of factors for suitability analysis. Case studies from Bryan …
Buildout Population Projections, Chelsea Irby
Buildout Population Projections, Chelsea Irby
Planning Masters Professional Reports
Buildout population projections are used by various municipalities and entities to project the ultimate population, or carrying capacity, of a specific area. There are many methods used to calculate buildout population. It is generally done by identifying the highest allowed uses in the vacant areas, based on the future land use plan, and calculating the maximum number of households and population. The maximum population in the vacant areas is then added to the existing population in that area to get the buildout population. Municipalities generally use these type of projections in comprehensive plans to set a vision for the future …

The Relationship Between Park Characteristics And Human Social Behavior: Learning From Main Street Garden In Dallas, Texas, Junjie He
Landscape Architecture Masters & Design Theses
The objective of this thesis is to study the relationship between park characteristics and human social behavior in Main Street Garden Park in Dallas. Whyte highlights several characteristics that promote the successful use of urban spaces: sitting space, nature, concessions, pathways, and triangulation (Whyte 1980). The ways in which these five characteristics influence human social behavior is the focus of this thesis. The aspects of human social behavior studied in this thesis are the proportions of couples, women, children, and pet-owners; usage times; self-congestion, meaning the amount and location of new interaction; and individualism. Using Main Street Garden in downtown …

There are several studies linking travel behavior to various other topics within urban design but none directly examine Complete Streets. This travel behavior study is significant in that it looks at specific streetscape design features rather than studying density or land use of a particular area. This research examines if and how travel behavior is influenced by specific design elements on Complete Streets using Bagby Street Reconstruction in Houston, Texas as a case study. Bagby Street Reconstruction is one of the first Complete Streets projects in Houston completed by Design Workshop and Walter P Moore. The project is a section …
Study Of Environmental Variables Affecting Walkability: Learning From Main Street In Downtown Fort Worth, Xitong Li
Landscape Architecture Masters & Design Theses
Walking has widely been considered by researchers to be important for physical health and a key to increasing social interactions in the local community (Layden, 2003), as well as a mode of transportation in such an era of high fossil fuel price (Maibach, 2009). The negative effects of low-density, automobile-dependent, segregated-use patterns of land and transportation systems typical of postwar suburban development are attracting public health attention. As a result, more designers and urban planners are beginning to take the concept of "walkable design" into consideration in their projects. In order to promote walking activity in terms of urban design, …

Dump It Out! An Enquiry Into Consumers’ Everyday Fashion Discourses Through Handbag, Magnum Man Lok Lam, Elita Yee Nee Lam, Wing-Sun Liu
Faculty of Design & Environment (THEi)
Handbag is an iconic fashion accessory in our material culture. Following the tradition of representational thinking, this article introduces the handbag as an epistemic consumption object through which to investigate consumer experiences, practices and identity construction in relation to everyday lived discourses. The handbag research involves an examination of participants’ personal belongings inside their bags together with phenomenological interviews concerning the associated subjective experiences along with these material objects. We demonstrate how these material possessions become the subject of the research that facilitates multiple conversations between researchers and participants as to introspect, evaluate and interpret the significance of symbolic consumption …
