The goals of this applied research project were to identify important issues and related design implications through the study of children's museums. Research methods included case studies, literature reviews, and interviews with national experts. The analysis generated design principles applicable to many museum types and similar environments such as zoos, aquaria and visitor's centers. This project was sponsored by the National Endowment for the Arts.

Evaluating existing techniques for assessing the secondary land-use impacts of highway projects on small communities, three promising techniques were applied to case studies in Wausau, Eau Claire, Sheboygan, and Wisconsin Rapids. These techniques were: a structured expert panel evaluation, a Lowry land-use model, and a quantitative "checklist'' approach. This report summarizes the advantages and limitations of each approach for forecasting secondary land-use impacts of highways.
