Abstract/Description

Since then, policy makers and news media have given Florida's reducing crime rates a substantial amount of attention. However, little interest has been placed on the success or failure of this law within Florida's individual counties. This research describes the firearm crime rates from 1996 to 2001 for Gadsden, Jefferson, and...

Since then, policy makers and news media have given Florida's reducing crime rates a substantial amount of attention. However, little interest has been placed on the success or failure of this law within Florida's individual counties. This research describes the firearm crime rates from 1996 to 2001 for Gadsden, Jefferson, and Leon counties in Florida, examines the effects of the 10-20-Life law, and its basis in the deterrence theory by using an interrupted time series analysis

Suburban Sprawl Development is the growth pattern that predominated after World War ll. This model had a jump-start given by public policies, and put the nuclear family in a suburban landscape. In this thesis some of the problems that sprawl generates are identified. Loss of public space, loss of sense of place and loss of community identity are the most characteristic ones.

Show moreSuburban Sprawl Development is the growth pattern that predominated after World War ll. This model had a jump-start given by public policies, and put the nuclear family in a suburban landscape. In this thesis some of the problems that sprawl generates are identified. Loss of public space, loss of sense of place and loss of community identity are the most characteristic ones. It also reviews the characteristics of Suburban Sprawl, Transit Oriented Development and Traditional Neighborhood Patterns. This thesis also examines how some of these development patterns can be used to improve an existing community, and how sometimes they degrade it. In this study, sustainability patterns that break down use separations; sustainability patterns that mix activities and bring people together will be validated. The proposed improvements reestablish communities and make neighborhoods more livable, by sharing spaces, and by creating pedestrian friendly environments and open recreational areas. The first part of this research is the study of the different patterns of community development, and is followed by an evaluation of different existing neighborhoods located in Vancouver-Canada and Jacksonville-Florida. This evaluation indicates how projects intended to revitalize existing neighborhoods are feasible. It also shows how the principles proposed to redevelop these areas could be applied in the area selected for the revitalization. xivFor this thesis an existing neighborhood, located in the south side of Tallahassee, was selected for revitalization, planning and design. Traditional neighborhood elements were considered for the revitalization. The inhabitant’s social classes are determined; the market for which the project is oriented is also determined; and the neighborhood’s development is analyzed in terms of its quality. The improvement of this existing community by the incorporation of traditional neighborhood pattern's design and planning principles is the goal of this thesis. The work demonstrates a practical application of traditional neighborhood patterns in order to improve an existing community’s quality. It also shows how architects are able to choose a healthier option for communities’ design and development. XV
