Understanding The Dynamics Of Innovation In Urban Transit, Sy Adler

Center for Urban Studies Publications and Reports

Urban transit is the major United States example of a private industry that failed and was taken over by the public sector. The recent re-emergence of the private sector in urban transit, and private sector-like behavior in the public sector, raise a number of interesting theoretical and historical issues and policy questions. This report develops a conceptual model to explain this recent history and outlines likely paths of transit service and institutional innovation. The model has three components: 1) the political and economic roles of urban transport facilities in the land development process; 2) the nature of the political process …

Modeling Location For Cadastral Maps Using An Object-Oriented Computer Language, Daniel Kjerne

Center for Urban Studies Publications and Reports

The challenge to designers of multipurpose computer-aided land information systems is to capture enough of the "deep structure" of the problem domain to enable a system to answer user questions and requests in a satisfactory way. Criteria defining "satisfactory" in each case must include considerations of accuracy, completeness, timeliness, and cost. These considerations, when applied to the location in space of parcel boundaries and property corners, present unusual difficulties. This is in large measure due to the fact that important elements of the field measurement process, and the determination of location based on what are essentially logical {legal) abstractions, are …

Bits And Pieces: A Cognitive Mapping Study Of Portland's Central City, Michael Matteucci, Tom Dixon

Center for Urban Studies Publications and Reports

People relate to the perceptual quality of any urban environment physically, mentally, and emotionally. Often, there are interactions that are based on visual images that occur between the individual and the city. The processing of these images - colors, shapes, sizes, spaces and motions - produces a composite picture of the city that gets translated into a "cognitive map." This aids each of us in adapting to and navigating through the multitude of urban elements.

By investigating the visual qualities of Portland, as seen through the mental images of some of its citizens, we have identified various elements that comprise …
