How The Public Library Contributes To Community Building: A Case Study, Barbara J. Snyder
How The Public Library Contributes To Community Building: A Case Study, Barbara J. Snyder
Theses and Dissertations
The purpose of this study was to investigate how one local New Jersey public library contributed to the revitalization efforts of its community by building social networks that benefitted all members of the community. Because the nature of the study dealt with conditions that were social, the qualitative method of research was chosen. A personal interview was used to collect information on how the library built social networks within the community it served by identifying and connecting the library's assets to the community's. The data were compared to a model developed from a previous study, The Engaged Library: Chicago Stories …

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 …

Design Response To Humanitarian Crisis: An Analysis Of Low-Income Labor Camps In Doha, Qatar In The Context Of A Student Charrette, Holly Murdock
Undergraduate Honors Capstone Projects
"Imagine a future where design can alter the quality of life." So began the instructions for "Charrette: A 48 hour Design Challenge" hosted by Virginia Commonwealth University's School of the Arts in Qatar. ("Charrette," 2007.) Combining sustainable design solutions with issues of human rights, an experiment in design education was created to challenge students to improve the quality of life for some of the world's most disadvantaged workers.
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 …

Emerging Elements Of Leadership In A Complex System: A Cognitivist Approach, Kirsten Suzanne Hanson Edd
Dissertations
As our world grows increasingly complicated at an intensified pace, leaders must be facile managers of complexity if organizations and society are to productively and peacefully evolve. Today’s global corporations are microcosms of complexity and have the potential to affect life for almost all other species. However, many organizations have not yet become aware of themselves as “living” and still operate as industrial age institutions with rationalist thinking traditionally dominating management practice. Many factors impact an organization’s overall effectiveness. Yet, executive leaders are seen as having the ability to influence change and play a vital role in helping people navigate …

Integrate Reengineering And Tqm: An Attempt To Redefine Reformation, Wakhid Slamet Ciptono
The South East Asian Journal of Management
This study examines the structural relationships between TQM, Reengineering, Operational Excellence in downstream and upstream sectors, Reformation, and sustainable community development program. A good understanding of how oil and gas industry should integrate mainstreaming the approach to sustainable community development into policymaking. Sustainable community development should be implemented by considering the links between change management through TQM and reengineering, operational excellence applications, and the real reformation. Recognizing that contributions of reformation (via the amendment of law of the Republic of Indonesia No. 22/2001 concerning oil and natural gas) in the sustainable community development is a key component in the Indonesia’s …

Global Warming: Zoning May Be An Antidote To Climate Change, John R. Nolon, Jessica A. Bacher
Global Warming: Zoning May Be An Antidote To Climate Change, John R. Nolon, Jessica A. Bacher
Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications
Through the use of transit oriented development (TOD) several New York municipalities have transformed into more sustainable communities by reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Contrary to popular belief, these municipalities proved that reduction of emissions is possible while still expanding economic growth. This article highlights several success stories in a variety of community landscapes beginning with a look at urban redevelopment in Yonkers, White Plains, and New Rochelle, New York, and then transitions to suburban success stories in Orangetown, and several municipalities along the Bear Mountain Parkway.

Steps Towards A New Suburbia: The Benefits Of Comprehensive Planning, Colin Drukker, Lisa Jabuka
Focus
As noted by The Planning Center in the presentation to CRP design studios in 2006, because most residential growth in the US will continue to happen in the suburbs, we must concentrate our efforts in planning for better suburban development. The authors write about The Planning Center’s philosophy towards providing for better communities and for sense of place in the suburbia, and they illustrate their discussion with three recent case-studies.

Nebraska’S Micropolitan Statistical Areas: A Growing Piece Of A Shrinking Pie, Randolph L. Cantrell
Nebraska’S Micropolitan Statistical Areas: A Growing Piece Of A Shrinking Pie, Randolph L. Cantrell
Rural Initiative Program: Publications and Reports
They have been called “urban islands in a shortgrass sea” (Popper and Popper, 1986) and “middle places” (Swanson, 2007). They are the small urban centers that dot the Great Plains and are home to an important share of the region’s non-metropolitan population and economic activity. Compared to the much larger metropolitan centers such as Omaha and Lincoln, they may appear to be minor players in the state’s social and economic landscape—but that would underestimate their role. Individually they anchor the regional “pillars of growth” identified by Thompson (Thompson et al., 2007), and collectively they play a determining role in the …

New Urbanism And Euclidian Zoning: Can They Co-Exist?, Janna Blasingame Custer
New Urbanism And Euclidian Zoning: Can They Co-Exist?, Janna Blasingame Custer
Land Use Clinic
Euclidian zoning served a purpose in its time. It separated land uses so that people could live away from industrial developments without the fear that such industries would locate to their backyard. But despite the positive effects of Euclidian zoning, many people believe it provides too little attention to character and historic design and promotes sprawl. New Urbanism offers an alternative to Euclidian zoning and many cities are beginning to utilize New Urbanism principles as they strive to bring back a sense of place to their communities. Challenges result when the New Urbanism principles conflict with the zoning in place, …

Trees On K-12 School Campuses In Virginia, Jeffrey L. Kirwan, P. Eric Wiseman, John R. Seiler
Virginia Journal of Science
Trees and saplings growing on K-12 school campuses were investigated in 105 school districts across Virginia. There were 2812 trees (>12.5 cm stem diameter at 1.4 m above ground level) inventoried across all campuses. The mean and median campus tree population was 27 and 18, respectively. Loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) was the most abundant species, accounting for 11% of all inventoried trees. Red maple (Acer rubrum L.) was the most frequently inventoried species, present on 44% of the campuses. Sapling (trees with 2.5-12.5 cm stem diameter at 1.4 m above ground level) populations were similar …
Social Network Structures In Open Source Software Development Teams, Y. Long, Keng Siau
Social Network Structures In Open Source Software Development Teams, Y. Long, Keng Siau
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Drawing on social network theories and previous studies, this research examines the dynamics of social network structures in open source software (OSS) teams. Three projects were selected from SourceForge.net in terms of their similarities as well as their differences. Monthly data were extracted from the bug tracking systems in order to achieve a longitudinal view of the interaction pattern of each project. Social network analysis was used to generate the indices of social structure. The finding suggests that the interaction pattern of OSS projects evolves from a single hub at the beginning to a corel periphery model as the projects …
Sectarianism And Social Capital: Community Development In Northern Ireland, Becky Alhadeff
Sectarianism And Social Capital: Community Development In Northern Ireland, Becky Alhadeff
Independent Study Project (ISP) Collection
There is a prevailing belief within the majority of the community sector and indeed, amongst many politicians and policy makers that there is a gap between Catholic and Protestant community development. However it is also argued that the Catholic community has more calculated social need than the Protestant community. It was not my desire, nor within my ability with my limited time frame to measure the capacities of the two communities and determine if there is presently a gap, but simply to look at the reasons put forth by community developers, politicians, and academics for the reason this gap exists. …

The Extension Hedgehog, Daniel M. Mcgrath, Flaxen Dl Conway, Sharon Johnson
Journal of Extension
Extension is competing for money, attention, and a place in the future of higher education. It is critical that Extension identify its education niche, specialties, and the value that only Extension adds to learning. Extension must mature in its role by coordinating issues-based education from a total university base. Issues-based education is inherently collaborative and non-hierarchical. Extension should be at the forefront of the modern outreach and engagement movement. But what are we passionate about, what can we be the very best at in the world, and how do we effectively attach our work to its economic drivers?

Sustainable Living: Theme Of The Future Or A One-Hit Wonder, Michelle Hershman
Richmond Public Interest Law Review
Is environmental consciousness in the United States just a popular trend or the beginning of permanent changes? In light of the American government's refusal to ratify the Kyoto Protocol, this comment examines social, corporate and regulatory pressures on environmental policy in the United States. The author concludes by arguing for the implementation of environmentally conscious policies and programs at private and public levels.
