Sensory Gardens: Assessing Their Design And Use, Hazreena Hussein
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 …

Gateway As Greenway - Re-Envisioning Gateway National Recreation Area: An Inquiry Into Biophysical Processes And Cultural History To Interpret A National Park Of The Future, Beth Ann Fenstermacher
Gateway As Greenway - Re-Envisioning Gateway National Recreation Area: An Inquiry Into Biophysical Processes And Cultural History To Interpret A National Park Of The Future, Beth Ann Fenstermacher
Landscape Architecture & Regional Planning Masters Projects
On October 27, 1972, Gateway National Recreation Area (NRA), located in New York and New Jersey, was established as one of two national recreation areas intended to serve urban areas. Along with Golden Gate NRA in San Francisco, California, these were the first two national parks to be brought closer to large, urban populations. The creation of these urban parks was the result of a social objective: creating parks that were truly in reach of large populations of people (Rothman, 2004). Thirty-five years later, while Golden Gate NRA thrives as an active recreation area for the people of the San …
Sustainable Industry At Various Scales: Regulatory Approaches, Green Urbanism, And Low Impact Site Design, Amy C. Verel
Sustainable Industry At Various Scales: Regulatory Approaches, Green Urbanism, And Low Impact Site Design, Amy C. Verel
Landscape Architecture & Regional Planning Masters Projects
Climate change and atmospheric warming are problems of global scale, significance, and impact and are arguably dealt with most effectively at the level of national and supra-national governance. The mixed success of the Kyoto Protocol demonstrated the importance of accommodating the needs and rights of nations with vastly different economic structures, development trends, and progress towards greenhouse gas reduction in order to reach a perception of fairness for and among all parties. Despite some progress, the goal of an effective international agreement to reduce carbon emissions and other greenhouse gas-contributing pollutants remains unfulfilled.
In the absence of a workable international …
Design Guidelines For The Historic Downtown Of The City Of St. George, Utah, Bronson R. Tatton
Design Guidelines For The Historic Downtown Of The City Of St. George, Utah, Bronson R. Tatton
All Graduate Plan B and other Reports, Spring 1920 to Spring 2023
This document proposes historic preservation guidelines for the downtown area of the City of St. George, Utah. It grew from a summer internship with the city where I took inventory of the streetscape in the Historic Downtown and prepared recommendations in the form of a PowerPoint Presentation that was given to the city council. This paper summarizes the summer internship and introduces a more appropriate approach based on reflection of the intern ship. The new approach involves a thorough inventory of the historic character, in depth research of the historic elements that contribute to the historic character, development of design …
A Catalog And The Perceived Effectiveness Of Stormwater Best Management Practices Bmps Used On Municipal Sites In Northern Utah, Saadia E. Ahmed
A Catalog And The Perceived Effectiveness Of Stormwater Best Management Practices Bmps Used On Municipal Sites In Northern Utah, Saadia E. Ahmed
All Graduate Plan B and other Reports, Spring 1920 to Spring 2023
Stormwater, as a result of hydrological events and urbanization, has contributed to problem s of water quality and flooding. Stormwater picks up pollutants and flows into sewer systems ultimately impacting water sheds and wildlife habitat. The primary method to control storm water discharge is by the use of best management practices. This research seeks to evaluate the perceived effectiveness of stormwater structural Best Management Practice s (BMPs) installed on municipal sites in northern Utah. A representative sample of sites is chosen using a snowballing sampling method. Selected sites are visited and surveys addressing effectiveness and maintenance issue s are answered …
Inventorying Landscape Assets In Rural Utah Communities: A Sociocultural Approach, Jennifer F. Hale
Inventorying Landscape Assets In Rural Utah Communities: A Sociocultural Approach, Jennifer F. Hale
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
A community's physical environment embodies distinct natural and built elements, which hold meanings and values that are formed through daily social interactions within that environment. Such elements, however, are not often recognized until they are dramatically changed or lost. As amenity-rich rural areas of the Intermountain West steadily attract new residents, consciously identifying these elements prior to rapid growth is critical to their preservation.
Research suggests that strong social capital has the potential to encourage the identification of a place's visual assets prior to such change. A documentary research approach was used to understand why citizens do not actively participate …
The Missing Link: Archaeological Resource Protection In Charleston, South Carolina, Kathryne Joseph
The Missing Link: Archaeological Resource Protection In Charleston, South Carolina, Kathryne Joseph
All Theses
Charleston, South Carolina is one of the nation's leading cities in preservation of its built environment - meaning historically and architecturally significant dwellings, sites, and structures. Protection of the city's underground resources, however, falls considerably behind as there is no archaeological preservation ordinance in place, nor is there an archaeological commission or city archaeologist to oversee and administer development projects potentially affecting significant historic and archaeological remains. The purpose of this study is to address the need for archaeological resource protection for the city by providing a better understanding of the importance of urban archaeology and by examining and identifying …
The Integration Of Historical And Green Planning In Commercial Development, A Study For The Potential Use Of The Historical Canada Packers Site In Edmonton, Alberta, T. David Murray
Undergraduate Honors Capstone Projects
The Canada Packers meat packing plant stood as a symbol of the agricultural heritage and formed part of the collective memory in the city of Edmonton throughout much of the twentieth century. Abandoned in 1994, the site has remained undeveloped and neglected for over a decade, while new development has expanded in every direction of the city. The development of the site is inevitable as property values skyrocket and the booming oil economy continues throughout Alberta. Currently the site is owned by RONA, a large Canadian home improvement store, and will be developed in the next few years. It is …
A Water-Efficient Landscape: Public Lands Center, Montrose, Co, Marcus Pulsipher
A Water-Efficient Landscape: Public Lands Center, Montrose, Co, Marcus Pulsipher
Undergraduate Honors Capstone Projects
The problem of water-wasting landscapes is prevalent throughout the western United States. For decades western settlers struggled to turn their arid lands into the more familiar settings of lush vegetation found in their native New England and Western Europe. This mind set has been passed down through generations and has transformed into the basis of the current western water crisis (Brundin and Pearson 2001). Only in the last few decades has this mentality been challenged and we've seen the emergence of several water-efficient landscape models. Through careful application of water-efficient landscape principles, western communities can greatly extend the life of …

A Clash Of Cultures: The Landscape Of The Sea Island Gullah, Elizabeth Brabec, Sharon Richardson
A Clash Of Cultures: The Landscape Of The Sea Island Gullah, Elizabeth Brabec, Sharon Richardson
Elizabeth Brabec
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 …

The Art Of Perception: Robert Irwin's Central Garden At The J. Paul Getty Center, Jennifer Kay Zell
The Art Of Perception: Robert Irwin's Central Garden At The J. Paul Getty Center, Jennifer Kay Zell
LSU Master's Theses
In this study of The Central Garden at the J. Paul Getty Center was found evidence that the Central Garden designed by Robert Irwin is a postmodern garden. Beginning with an evaluation and description of the individual elements and conditions of the garden, the study then explores the larger body of artistic work produced by Irwin. This investigation also extrapolates how the ideas of modernism and postmodernism have been applied to past works of landscape architecture. The precedents provide a basis for interpretation and analysis of the Central Garden. Direct observation of visitors at the Central Garden provided evidence of …
