The Invisibility Of Code Enforcement In Planning Praxis: The Case Of Informal Housing In Southern California, Jake Wegmann, Jonathan P. Bell Jun 2016

The Invisibility Of Code Enforcement In Planning Praxis: The Case Of Informal Housing In Southern California, Jake Wegmann, Jonathan P. Bell

Focus

In this article, Jake Wegmann and Jonathan Pacheco Bell argue that more and better engagement with working class neighborhoods and communities of color are urgent imperatives for the planning profession. Drawing on a survey, interviews, and their professional experiences with the informal housing market in Southern California, they show that, although much of this work is managed by code enforcement officers, the planning profession largely holds code enforcement at arms’ length. Wegmann and Bell show that ending the estrangement between code enforcement and planning would offer numerous benefits including inculcating cultural competence in planners, addressing vexing issues such as housing …

The Connection Between Neighborhood Walkability And Life Longevity In A Midsized City, William W. Riggs, John Gilderbloom Jun 2016

The Connection Between Neighborhood Walkability And Life Longevity In A Midsized City, William W. Riggs, John Gilderbloom

Focus

Riggs and Gilderbloom discuss a study for Louisville, KY that confirms the relationship between walkability and health, offering lessons for similar urban areas. Investigating years of projected life lost as it relates to neighborhood walkability, they found that more walkable areas are predictors of longevity. The study suggests that the trend toward longer lifespan may be connected to gentrification-related displacement and racial homogenization in walkable neighborhoods. The findings can help shape urban design policies and interventions that support physical activity.

Women's Shelters: Strategies To Empowerment, Rachel Raynor

City and Regional Planning

Working at a women’s social work site in Nicaragua, sparked my initial interest in researching and developing a typology of women’s shelters as an useful guide for determining and providing appropriate services. The goal is to create a typology that can be useful in determining what type of facility or shelter is the most effective for different women and the varying backgrounds and situations they are in. The desire to empower women was initiated by my first-hand experience in Nicaragua. There I saw many instances of intimate partner violence (IPV), as well as other, non-physical, forms of abuse. I never …

Policy & Privilege In Photovoltaics: A Community Level Analysis In San Diego County, Rose M. Kelly Jun 2016

Policy & Privilege In Photovoltaics: A Community Level Analysis In San Diego County, Rose M. Kelly

Master's Theses

This research investigates the demographic and local government permit characteristics of communities with high levels of solar adoption in the San Diego Region. Utilizing a statistical model, this research illustrates which communities have been able to benefit from the current solar incentive programs in a robust market with an abundant solar resource. In San Diego, zip codes with large proportions of people over 65 have the highest correlation with high levels of residential solar adoption. This potentially illustrates that the life changes associated with retiring, including accumulated wealth, stable homeownership, and a fixed income, make residential solar systems accessible and …
