Sensory Gardens: Assessing Their Design And Use, Hazreena Hussein
Hazreena Hussein
This study will consider the design and use of sensory gardens by evaluating the garden features that are utilised by users, especially children with special needs in special schools. They have been observed experiencing and engaging with the multisensory environment. Preliminary site studies were carried out in fourteen sensory gardens around the United Kingdom, recording the personal observations of the usability of these gardens and conducting individual interviews with teachers and key experts. Further data collection has included in-depth interviews and behavioural mapping. Environmental affordance theory will be studied in conjunction with this study. The findings will then be developed …

Home to the Gullah people, the Sea Islands in the Lowcountry of South Carolina and Georgia contain a culturally and ecologically distinct landscape. Descendents of plantation slaves brought to the United States between 1640 and 1850, the Gullah community has maintained a cultural identity that is reflected in a landscape pattern that is often at odds with dominant American culture. By analyzing the history of the development of Gullah culture, the genesis, contemporary meanings, and significance of the Gullah landscape pattern can be read. This article develops an understanding of the Gullah concepts of land ownership, place, community and proxemics, …
Do Bylaws Matter? Evaluating Conservation Subdivision Design, Elisabeth M. Hamin
Do Bylaws Matter? Evaluating Conservation Subdivision Design, Elisabeth M. Hamin
Elisabeth M. Hamin
This research investigates what public and private purposes are being achieved in projects permitted as conservation or open space subdivisions. An expert panel evaluated nine conservation subdivision designs (CSD), and found that CSDs overall provide more ecologically functional designs than would occur under traditional subdivision layout. In particular, open space goals tend to be well-achieved, while other aspects such as creativity, housing diversity, and other public goods are less satisfactory. However, evidence suggests that underlying socioeconomic and planning board issues are more explanatory in overall quality of projects than the specific contents of individual CSD bylaws. Results of related research …
