Crime In Transit Oriented Districts: Learning From Dallas, Texas, Devin D. Guinn
Crime In Transit Oriented Districts: Learning From Dallas, Texas, Devin D. Guinn
Landscape Architecture Masters & Design Theses - Archive
Recognizing that the components of the built environment may effect crime in urban areas, emerging transit station areas and Transit Oriented Developments (TOD) and districts (TODT) present new challenges for designers and planners. Transit oriented developments, especially within the past decade, are seen as desirable choices for developing metropolitan areas to accommodate the concerns surrounding population growth (Ozdil et. al, 2012), but very little is known about how the spatial environment impacts delinquency around station areas. More specifically, it is not clear how design and planning might address such issues, and influence future TOD and TODT strategic plans. This research …

This thesis focuses on the relationship between the parks system and city growth patterns in Fort Worth, Texas. It describes the evolution of the city's parks as well as the city's urban morphology since the inception of 1909 Kessler city park plan. Throughout Fort Worth's history, open space planning has played a key role in the city's development policies (City of Fort Worth Planning and Development Department 2004). Kessler's 1909 original park plan for the City of Fort Worth still serves as the basis for major park facilities (City of Fort Worth 2012). Evolution of the parks system in Fort …
Uses Of Sacred Spaces In Urban Neighborhoods: A Study Of Cemeteries In Uptown Dallas, Huei-Chung Cheng
Uses Of Sacred Spaces In Urban Neighborhoods: A Study Of Cemeteries In Uptown Dallas, Huei-Chung Cheng
Landscape Architecture Masters & Design Theses - Archive
This study examines residents' perceptions regarding potential uses of sacred spaces. It further investigates a cemetery's visual impact on residents in high-density urban environments. Historically, cemeteries have provided open space to urban residents, and have become intertwined with the spaces where humans live and work and they have come to provide historical significance to urban space (Harker and Merolli 2010). As rituals and methods of disposing human remains change, the ways people use cemeteries or burial spaces also change. Specifically as alternative uses for cemetery are emerging, along with changes in attitudes toward commemoration burial sites in contemporary culture (Basmajian …

Equity Impacts Of Toll Roads In North Texas, Kendall Wendling, Jianling Li
Equity Impacts Of Toll Roads In North Texas, Kendall Wendling, Jianling Li
Planning Masters Professional Reports - Archive
Toll roads are becoming ubiquitous across the United States as funds for transportation projects have not kept up with traffic demand. In the North Texas region specifically, there are multiple toll road projects currently under construction and it is currently unclear what impact toll roads have on the surrounding demographics and development. This study analyzes the demographic changes that have occurred over time surrounding toll and non-toll corridors in the North Texas region to discover any significant differences between the two types of facilities. If I do find that there are significant differences, then it is likely that equity is …

Identifying Perceptions Of The Creative Class Regarding Lost Space In Downtown Dallas, Yao Lin
Identifying Perceptions Of The Creative Class Regarding Lost Space In Downtown Dallas, Yao Lin
Landscape Architecture Masters & Design Theses - Archive
This thesis deals with perceptions held by members of the "creative class" (Florida 2004) regarding lost space (Trancik 1986) in downtown Dallas, Texas. Data from this study come from face-to-face interviews with end-users (the creative class) of lost space, and the results of the study offer insight on design and use of these spaces, so common to contemporary human communities. Trancik (1986) argues that lost space consists of undesirable and seemingly useless urban spaces, which because they are problematic, need to be redesigned. Trancik contrasts the urban voids of lost space with positive urban spaces which he defines as those …
Professional Service Dependencies Between Landscape Architects And Architects, Alexandra Lorraine Romero
Professional Service Dependencies Between Landscape Architects And Architects, Alexandra Lorraine Romero
Landscape Architecture Masters & Design Theses - Archive
This thesis examines the professional service dependencies between landscape architects and architects practicing in single discipline private practice firms. Its intent is to determine the presence (or lack of presence) of dependencies within this subset of professional practice of both landscape architecture and architecture and the reasons dependencies exist. The primary hypothesis of this study is that dependencies exist between these two types of single discipline practices.Bornstein (1993) describes dependencies in a working definition as motivational, cognitive, affective and behavioral. Specifically, the term dependency has "no universally accepted operational definition" (Bornstein 1993, p. 18). It is, in the case of …
Stakeholders' Perceptions On The Design And Feasibility Of The Fused Grid Street Network Pattern, Hong Anh Mang
Stakeholders' Perceptions On The Design And Feasibility Of The Fused Grid Street Network Pattern, Hong Anh Mang
Landscape Architecture Masters & Design Theses - Archive
The fused grid is a newly developed street network pattern for laying out neighborhoods and districts (Grammenos 2002). It uses the fusion of two traditional North American street designs: the traditional nineteenth-century grid and the conventional curvilinear pattern of looped streets and cul-de-sacs utilized in modern suburbia (Grammenos 2004). In the twenty-first century, two cities in Canada -- Calgary, Alberta and Stratford, Ontario -- adopted this model for their neighborhoods. The site in Calgary have been adopted, implemented and is currently under construction. The site in Stratford have been adopted but not implemented. Although the two sites adopted ideas and …

Precursors To Context Sensitive Design (Csd) In Non-Csd Projects, Xiwen Feng
Landscape Architecture Masters & Design Theses - Archive
This study searches for planning and design strategies required in Context Sensitive Design (CSD) transportation projects executed prior to the establishment of CSD standards. CSD is &ldquo a collaborative, interdisciplinary approach in which all stakeholders develop transportation facilities that fit their physical settings and preserve the aesthetic, scenic, historic and environmental resources, while maintaining safety and mobility&rdquo (Center for Transportation and Environment (CTE), 2007).There were five pilot states which were Connecticut, Kentucky, Maryland, Minnesota, and Utah, agreed to implement the CSD approach in 1998. In the following years, many states looked to CSD as a more effective approach for improving …

Native Plant Palettes: Perceptions Of North Texas Homeowners In Upper-Income Suburbia, Amber Michelle Davis
Native Plant Palettes: Perceptions Of North Texas Homeowners In Upper-Income Suburbia, Amber Michelle Davis
Landscape Architecture Masters & Design Theses - Archive
This study examines the perceptions of upper-income homeowners in North Texas regarding their knowledge of native plant palettes and their commitment to using them in their residential landscapes. Literature on the topic highlights different perspectives on the actual definition of `native' plants. However, for the purpose of this study a `native plant palette' refers to the use of a plant species that "occurs naturally in a particular region, ecosystem or habitat without direct or indirect human intervention" and in return helps support its surrounding ecological community (Tallamy 2009; US National Arboretum 2006, pg. 1)."Current literature on homeowners' perceptions of native …

Semiotics And New Urbanism In North Texas: Comparing Designer Intention And User Perception, Chia-Yin Wu
Landscape Architecture Masters & Design Theses - Archive
Design is a means of communication and the conduit for transmitting a message between designers and users of their built work (Fiske, 1990). The design work resembles the cultivated construction and carrier of a message as a language. The designer encodes the message or information into design elements through his/her built work, and the user decodes it. Therefore, designers convey their intentions by incorporating them into the patterns of shape, structure, material, and landscape of the site (Krieger and Saunders, 2009). A design element has no intrinsic meaning. According to Manning (2004), a design element "is something that makes sense …
Public Perceptions Of Urban Community Park Benefits: A Study In Arlington, Texas, Leonelle Vincia D'Souza
Public Perceptions Of Urban Community Park Benefits: A Study In Arlington, Texas, Leonelle Vincia D'Souza
Landscape Architecture Masters & Design Theses - Archive
This thesis is a study of the public perceptions of urban community park benefits and the identity they foster among people. It addresses the conjecture that parks, by encouraging self-expression through interaction and use, contribute to the identity of a place(Garvin 2000). Identity is a way of organizing information about the self (Clayton and Opotow 2003) and perception is an experience which is occasioned by the stimulation of sense organs (Dennis 1951). These have practical implications on research. Understanding people's response to their surroundings leads to an understanding of perceptions of self and community. Park benefits are gained through interaction …

Research has proved that built environment affect public health in various ways ranging from direct impacts like physical activity to indirect impacts such as housing affordability, employment accessibility, social capital etc. Built environment is shaped by plans and policies related to transportation. Such plans and policies make significant impacts on public health. There is increasing interest on the effects of transportation decisions in public health. Recently, transportation planners and public health practitioners have begun to find ways to work collaboratively in varieties of capacities (APHA, 2011). However, two significant aspects related to impacts of transportation on public health need to …
Aggregate Relation Between Residence And Workplace Travel Time In Large Urban Areas, Azadeh Rahmani
Aggregate Relation Between Residence And Workplace Travel Time In Large Urban Areas, Azadeh Rahmani
Planning Theses - Archive
The formation of urban areas is a function of locations of residence and workplaces. Urban areas grow because more residents move in the area due to economic, life style, or other opportunities. This research presents a relationship between average commuting travel time and population and land area of metropolitan areas with more than 750,000 population in the United States. The hypothesis is that in spite of significant variation among large and small urban areas, the relative residence- employment locations follows a general and predictable pattern. Forty Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSA) are selected for the analysis. The commuting travel time is …

Community Garden Suitability Analysis For A South Dallas Community, Tiffany Mcleod
Community Garden Suitability Analysis For A South Dallas Community, Tiffany Mcleod
Planning Theses - Archive
Community gardens have been proposed as a solution to combat the ongoing and escalating food desert problem in low-income communities. As planners, community leaders and residents look to implement this solution and convert vacant property into gardens they need to be aware of the potential conflicts that can arise when the area starts to develop. This paper offers an analysis tool and uses it to determine vacant sites that are appropriate for community gardens in a particular South Dallas neighborhood that do not conflict with the future development of the area. It also identifies the grocery store gap in the …
Information Technology's Impact On The Space And Automobile Relationship: A Study Of The Link Between Internet Tech, Automobiles, And Residential Preferences, Steven Duong

Many city planners, developers, real estate agents, and planning academics have been strong proponents of compact, mixed-use, New Urbanist developments. They point to the research that shows that younger generations will favor the revitalized mixed use, dense, urban downtown centers advocated by urbanists like Jane Jacobs and Richard Florida over newly developed, spacious, quiet suburbs In fact, recent research on ICT and driving suggests that the advent of the smart phone and ubiquitous computing (Ubicomp) may be indeed influencing the lifestyle and preference of young adults, who rather than driving are substituting shopping, social, entertainment, and other trips with virtual …

City Of Arlington, Texas, Blackland Prairie Preserve Master Plan, David Hopman, Dfl Group Llc
Landscape Architecture Faculty Publications - Archive
The City of Arlington acquired the Blackland Prairie site in 1998 after a group of concerned citizens identified its value as possibly the last blackland prairie remnant site in the city. Encouraged by the Arlington Conservation Council, the land was purchased by the city to be held as permanent open space. In its current condition, the site remains in transition. Efforts by volunteers have helped maintain native prairie grasses on approximately half of the site. The eastern half however, has remained untouched since acquisition. Invasive grasses, woody and herbaceous plants continue to proliferate in this area, leaving relatively few native …
