Community access to technology has become a critical issue in the discussion of sustainable community development and the economic viability of communities in the 21st century. The Policy Research Action Group (PRAG), a now-retired portion of CURL, established the Community Access to Technology Working Group to explore community access and training with regards to technology in the context of universal access within the city of Chicago. Additionally, the group sought to find out how technology resources are distributed in Chicago with particular emphasis on access at community centers, schools and libraries. The group's final report outlines the numbers and findings …

Gis-T Data Sharing Issues, Kenneth Dueker, J. Allison Butler
Center for Urban Studies Publications and Reports
The purpose of this paper is to develop a framework and principles for sharing of transportation data. The framework is intended to clarify roles of the various participants and the principles are intended to provide guidance for the participants. Both the framework and the principles are based on a GIS-T data model that defines relations among transportation data elements. (See Dueker and Butler (1998) for a detailed description of the data model. A simplified version is provided in the next section.) The data model guards against ambiguities and provides a basis for the development of the framework and principles for …
La Descentralización En El Ecuador De Hoy: Sus Alternativas, Fernando Carrión Mena
La Descentralización En El Ecuador De Hoy: Sus Alternativas, Fernando Carrión Mena
Fernando Carrión Mena
El resurgimiento de la cuestión local en Ecuador tiene lugar a fines de la década del setenta y principios del ochenta. Serán la descentralización y la modernización las que pongan al orden del día, el debate sobre la reforma del Estado en el que está inscripto el terna de lo local.
De aquella época para acá, se pueden percibir dos etapas en el proceso de descentralización. Una primera, que se la podría caracterizar como la vía municipal de fortalecimiento de lo local, a partir de la transferencia de recursos y competencias, así como de la ampliación de su base social …

The Architecture Of Argostoli: A Venetian Colonial New Town, Nicholas Patricios
The Architecture Of Argostoli: A Venetian Colonial New Town, Nicholas Patricios
Nicholas Patricios
Argostóli, a Venetian new town on the Ionian Island of Kefallinía, provides an example of how architecture is shaped by cultural factors. Relevant factors in the context of the Venetian occupation of Kefallinía are the political, economic, social, and ecclesiastical ones. From 1500until 1797, Kefallinía and the other Ionian Islands remained a Venetian colony. During these three centuries the Islands formed the boundary between the eastern and western worlds. While most of Greece fell under Turkish rule, the Ionian Islands were exposed to western culture through Venice. Argostóli became the new capital in 1757. The new colonial capital had no …

Comunidad Andina, Fernando Carrión Mena
Fernando Carrión Mena
En América Latina, hay que señalar que el proceso de descentralización se inicia a finales de la década del 70, principios del 80, cuando el proceso de redemocratización se afianza en la región, aunque empieza a tener sus resultados a fines de la década de los 80. Este proceso se caracteriza básicamente por tener dos fases. Una primera, que pone énfasis en los municipios como eje y fin de la descentralización, Este enfoque, a mi manera de ver y de otros investigadores que han estado trabajando el tema, produjo algunos problemas en la propia estructura del Estado Nacional. Por ejemplo, …

Population Sampling Issue Still Bedevils, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"How do you count, with accuracy, 275 million mobile people? That is the task of the U.S. Census Bureau in the year 2000. Unfortunately, the courts rather than the professionals have made this decision.
"On January 25, 1999, in the case of Department of Commerce v. United States House of Representatives, No. 98-404, the nation's highest court ruled that statistical sampling of the population for the next census in the year 2000 cannot be used to apportion seats to the house of Representatives."

La Descentralizaci6n En El Ecuador De Hoy: Sus Alternativas, Fernando Carrión Mena
Fernando Carrión Mena
La descentralización implica una readecuación de las relaciones entre el Estado y la sociedad civil que se expresa en la transferencia de competencias, de un orden central a otro de carácter provincial o cantonal.
El resurgimiento de la cuestión de lo local en el Ecuador tiene lugar a fines de la década del setenta y principios de ochenta, en el contexto de la redemocratización que vive el país. Serán la descentralización y la modernización las que pongan al orden del día el debate sobre la reforma del Estado, en el que está inscrito el tema de lo local.

Factors Which Contribute To Successful Schools For Disadvantaged Students: An Exploratory Case Study Of Two Urban Elementary Schools In Norfolk, Virginia, Lula Saunders Sawyer
Factors Which Contribute To Successful Schools For Disadvantaged Students: An Exploratory Case Study Of Two Urban Elementary Schools In Norfolk, Virginia, Lula Saunders Sawyer
Theses and Dissertations in Urban Services - Urban Management
This exploratory case study examines the perceptions of parents, teachers, students and principals on eight factors of school effectiveness. Two low income elementary schools in the City of Norfolk, Virginia served as the research setting for this study. Though both schools consist almost entirely of African American students, and are otherwise similar in demographics, they have achieved at different levels. While one has been recognized as a national model, based on continuous improvement in students' academic achievement, the other has not attained the same level of achievement, based on standardized test scores.
A case study methodology has been used to …

Supplemental Security Income - An Underused Resource For Disabled Tanf Recipients In Illinois, Center For Urban Research And Learning, Michael A. O'Connor
Center for Urban Research and Learning: Publications and Other Works
This paper reviews the literature that assesses the incidence of severe impairments among parents and children receiving AFDC and TANF, and projects that analysis to estimate the number of persons eligible for, but not receiving SSI in the Illinois TANF caseload. The paper also reviews current investment in screening for eligibility and pursuing SSI benefits for TANF recipients, and articulates a rationale for further investment. Prior research supports an estimate that between 8-12,000 children, and 4- 18,000 parents in the Illinois TANF caseload are SSI eligible but not enrolled. This paper describes strategies and costs necessary to promote full enrolment …
Interoperability Cost Analysis Of The U.S. Automotive Supply Chain, Smita B. Brunnermeier, Sheila A. Martin
Interoperability Cost Analysis Of The U.S. Automotive Supply Chain, Smita B. Brunnermeier, Sheila A. Martin
Institute of Portland Metropolitan Studies Publications
The objective of this study was to assess the costs of imperfect interoperability to the U.S. automotive supply chain and to describe the sources of these costs. By understanding the sources and magnitude of inefficiencies caused by interoperability problems, NIST can better determine the potential impact of its programs and focus them to maximize program effectiveness. This study estimates that imperfect interoperability imposes at least $1 billion per year on the members of the U.S. automotive supply chain. By far, the greatest component of these costs is the resources devoted to repairing or reentering data files that are not usable …

Holgate Lake Study: An Examination Of The Issues Associated With Groundwater Flooding, John J. Lynch Jr., Heidi A. Mader, Mark Mccann
Holgate Lake Study: An Examination Of The Issues Associated With Groundwater Flooding, John J. Lynch Jr., Heidi A. Mader, Mark Mccann
Master of Urban and Regional Planning Workshop Projects
This project examines Holgate Lake. Despite its natural hazard characteristics, the Holgate Lake area has not been immune to development pressure. Holgate Lake is an intermittent water body that forms when groundwater levels rise. Historical accounts show that the lake has formed at many different times in the last century. Because the lake fluctuates with the groundwater level, it is not necessarily present from year to year. As the area has developed, more and more people built in the location of the natural lakebed when the water was not present. When the lake level returned in the 1960's flooding of …
