The National Register Of Historic Places: An Historic Preservation Planning Tool?, Brent Donald Nelson

Community and Regional Planning Program: Theses

This paper answers three questions: 1) What is the National Register of Historic Places? 2) Does the National Register act as an historic preservation planning tool? 3) Did the administrative changes made to the National Register nominating procedures in 1986 enhance or improve any planning tool functions that it may have had?

The author, based on preliminary research and personal experience hypothesized that the answers to the first two questions would be that the National Register is a list that acts primarily as an "honor roll" bestowing distinction and recognition onto properties placed on it and only secondarily as a …

The Wild And Scenic Rivers Act: Perspectives On Private Land Issues, Gary R. Weiner

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

The Wild and Scenic Rivers Act is the nation's principal tool for accomplishing river conservation. Congress intended for the Act to apply to rivers regardless of ownership of adjacent lands, but efforts to implement the Act on rivers bordered by private property have met with limited success. This paper presents the underlying issues related to private land applications, explores the range of ideas and opinions existing among river conservation experts, agency river planners and others regarding how to work with these issues, identifies areas of general concurrence and least agreement, and makes recommendations for future private land applications of the …

Analysis Of Processes To Determine Site Suitability For A Marina At Bear Lake, Charles J. Houghten

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

The purpose of this thesis was to determine the criteria necessary for an analysis of site suitability for locating a marina at Bear Lake. Once criteria were defined and pertinent resource factors collected, a method to analyze the criteria was utilized to aid in the selection of the best site for locating this marina. Various methods to analyze site suitability were evaluated and the pros and cons of the chosen approach, a cluster analysis of existing resource transect data with hypothetical transect criteria, were discussed. Based on this study, no optimum sites were located at Bear Lake for a marina …

Pheasant Habitat Improvement Through Multiple Land Use Planning On Cache Valley Farmland, Shannon B. Heath

All Graduate Plan B and other Reports, Spring 1920 to Spring 2023

In Utah, the number of farms has been steadily decreasing since the 1930's while farm size has grown and mechanization increased (Utah Agricultural Statistics, 1981). The "family farm" is beginning to disappear as larger farms become more economical (McCorkle, Jr., 1981). Due primarily to this trend toward more intensive land use, habitat for the ring-necked pheasant (Phasianus colchicus) is on the decline (Kellert, 1981). In addition, changes which have occurred in crop production since 1950 have not favored pheasant production (Nish, 1973). It is of critical importance that attention be drawn to the conservation of pheasant habitat if the future …

Visual Assessment Of Rivers And Marshes: An Examination Of The Relationship Of Visual Units, Perceptual Variables And Preference, John C. Ellsworth

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

The purpose of this research was to examine the relationship of two approaches to visual assessment of landscape--the qualitative descriptive inventory and the theoretically-based empirical perceptual preference approach. Three levels of landscape visual units based on bio-physical similarities (landscape units, setting units, and waterscape units) were identified in a marsh (CUtler Reservoir, Cache County , Utah), and its tributary streams. Color slide photographs were taken from five of the visual units. These slides were rated on a 5- point scale by panels of judges for the expression of four perceptual variables--coherence, complexity, mystery, and legibility. The same slides were rated …

Willburn Family, Susie Van Kirk

Susie Van Kirk Papers

In 1862, Capt. Ketchem from Fort Baker noted in his records that he received the assistance of the ranchers in Hettenshaw in rounding up the Indians. Among them were Jim Willburn, Jim Graham and Steve Fleming. Fleming acted as a guide for the soldiers and helped to bring in Chief Lassik and his band from the area in southwest Trinity known as Red and Black Lassic or simply the Lassics. An entry in the military records which reads, “Willburn and Fleming report the loss of many stock.”

Earth Sheltered Housing: An Old Concept Being Refined, Loren F. Duchman

Graduate Research Papers

Earth sheltered housing has always been used by man throughout the ages. The need to conserve energy has forced man to seek alternative methods of housing that will meet this need. Earth sheltered housing has been in the shadow of above ground structures for many years. Recently the value of earth sheltered housing has been reexamined and a great deal of work has taken place towards the refinement of this old housing concept.

In the process of refining an old concept many new ideas, materials, and problems have surfaced. There have been many trial and error approaches to refinement as …
