Title: Application of traditional design guidelines for urban neighborhood vitalization : A Tallahassee case study.
Creator: Rossina Alva
Abstract/Description: 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

These studies will be implemented in the ﬁnal design of An Art Community for Tallahassee. Studio as feeling is a subjective phenomenological study of the roles of the studio environment. The environment suggest certain generators that can be applied to architecture. The programmatic is a general facility program for a proposal of an Art Community in Tallahassee. It faces the general design and cultural issues that are involved when this type of project is placed in a community. The analytical study is a post occupancy evaluation of the artist community within Railroad Square. It investigates the spaces and the activities of individual studios.

Title: 10-20-Life : An exploratory study of Gadsden, Jefferson, and Leon counties in Florida.
Creator: Yata S. Caine
Abstract/Description: In 2001, the state of Florida's crime rates were at an all time low. This decrease in crime has been accredited to the implementation of the 10-20—Life law in Florida. 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...

Show moreThe main purpose of this study was to investigate the attitudes of Leon County home gardeners towards Integrated OPest Management (IPM) strategies,as not much is known to what extent IPM is being practiced. This could provide information that would enable extension specialists to make the program more attractive or serve as an evaluation process in research applicable to home gardening. To achieve this purpose, four objectives were developed. Data were collected by a mailed questionnaire. From a sample of 100 gardeners, 45 responses (45 percent) were received. Analysis of data included frequency distributions, percent responses, chi-square and one-way analysis of variance scores. The major findings of this study were: 1. There were only 6 (13 percent) of the respondents who have heard of "Integrated Pest Management (IPM)"; but further findings revealed that most of them used IPM practices without realizing that those were strategies for ix an integrated approach to pest management. 2. Of the six who were aware of IPM, most of them said that it is somewhat effective as they had derived benefits in increase yields, health consideration and reduction in chemical expenses. 3. Participants with a higher level of education (above 12th grade) were more knowledgeable of IPM practices. Those with garden size plots of less than 1000 square feet, practiced more of the IPM strategies. 4. There were no significant differences between implementing IPM strategies with the selected demographic variables of age, years of gardening experience, or the number of people in the family
