The University of Massachusetts Amherst has a long tradition of campus planning that dates back to 1866 and the first plan for the campus by Frederick Law Olmsted. Successive planning efforts in the modern era have documented strategies for continued development of the campus. Despite this long tradition of planning, development of the campus has at times diverged from the recommendations of successive master plans. The last plan was adopted in 1993 and updated in 2007. The campus is once again growing: UMass is in the midst of a ten-year, billion-dollar capital improvement program that started in 2004. The University …

Sustaining An Indiscrete Cultural Landscape: A Case Study Of The South Brisbane Peninsula, Daniel O'Hare

The aim of this paper is to expand heritage conservation philosophy and practice, particularly as applied to inner urban areas experiencing rapid change. It is hoped that the paper will contribute towards the development of a cultural landscape orientation in planning, and thereby towards ‘sustainable conservation.’ The paper focuses on the Australian urban conservation context, using the established conservation practice guides as its starting point. These guides, The Burra Charter (Marquis-Kyle and Walker, 1992) and The Conservation Plan (Kerr, 2002) provide rigorous and useful definitions of ‘cultural significance’ and ‘conservation’. It is argued that further development of cultural landscape theory …

Rating-Scale Methodology For Environmental Designers, Nicholas Patricios
Nicholas Patricios
There are many methods and techniques available to environmental designers to obtain and use information on spatial behavior, attitudes, preferences, opinions, and so on. Among them are rating-scale techniques. This paper discusses these from a particular theoretical orientation and covers the utility, concept, and an evaluation of rating scales. Three case studies are described to illustrate the application and usefulness of the graphic rating-scale technique to environmental designers.
An Agentive Perspective Of Urban Planning, Nicholas Patricios
An Agentive Perspective Of Urban Planning, Nicholas Patricios
Nicholas Patricios
An agentive model of person-environment relations is proposed based on environmental behavior research. The agentive process consists of three stages: awareness of information in the phenomenal environment; perception and cognition - construal - of the environmental information; and action in the behavioral environment. The agentive model of urban planning brings together theory and practice and would assist efforts to resolve conflicts and achieve consensus in urban planning transactions.
