Strategies For Effective Risk Communication Under Sara Title Iii: Perspectives From Research And Practice, Richard C. Rich, W. David Conn, William L. Owens

City and Regional Planning

Title III of the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986 requires that planning and emergency response agencies be able to communicate with the public in nonemergency situations in order to help citizens understand the risks they face from hazardous materials and to secure citizen participation in designing responses to chemical emergencies. Both research and reports from the field indicate that, with notable exceptions, most Local Emergency Planning Committees created for this purpose are making little or no effort at proactive communication. As a result, citizens are not being educated effectively about the hazards they face and are not acting …

Integrating Communication Skills And Planning Techniques, Hemalata C. Dandekar, Gerald R. Clark

City and Regional Planning

Practitioners have long stressed the need to teach professional commumcations skills to planning students. This paper describes ten years of experience in teaching a course in which communications skills and techniques of gathering and analyzing information are taught concurrently while investigating a problem of importance in the community. The course involves an ongoing collaboration, a "marriage of convenience," between an academic and a planner, casting city/county planning staff as clients for students This has proven useful for pedagogy and has had some positive impact on the community.

Visual Interaction: A Link Between Perception And Problem Solving, Erika Rogers, Ronald C. Arkin

Computer Science and Software Engineering

The approach taken in this research is to develop a cognitive model of how a human observer extracts information from a visual display and then uses this perceptual information in a decision-making task. Knowledge about this relationship provides information about the occurrence of perceptual events in the course of problem-solving activities, and suggests that perceptual assistance in the form of image enhancements is a useful supplement to the user’s own abilities. This knowledge is then to be embedded in an intelligent computerized assistant which is designed to facilitate and stimulate the human problem-solving process.

The Chalet As Archetype: The Bungalow, The Picturesque Tradition And Vernacular Form, Bruno Giberti

Architecture

The history of the Swiss chalet is a history of recycled form. This paper considers the nature of the chalet as a vernacular building type, its appropriation beginning in the eighteenth century within picturesque theory and high-style architecture in England and America, and its eventual return to the vernacular in the form of the early-twentieth-century bungalow.

The goal of the paper is to explore the process by which specific vernacular forms may become integrated into more generalized styles of building. Special attention is paid to identifying the archetypal chalet elements in the high-style work of architects Charles and Henry Greene, …
