Concern over demographic trends has been heightened in recent years by several international trends — notably rapid aging, reduced fertility, and before large scale migration across borders. On the national level, shifts in attitude, generation and ethnicity have proven decisive in both the political realm and in the economic fortunes of regions and states. The Center focuses on research and analysis of global, national and regional demographic trends and also looks into poli- cies that might produce favorable demographic results over time. The Center involves Chapman students in demographic research under the supervision of the Center’s senior staff. Stu- dents work with the Center’s director and engage in research that will serve them well as they look to develop their careers in business, the social sciences and the arts. They also have access to our advisory board, which includes distinguished Chapman faculty and major demographic scholars from across the country and the world. 2 CHAPMAN UNIVERSITY • CENTER FOR DEMOGRAPHICS AND POLICY ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This project would not have been possible without the support of Chapman Univer- sity and our donors.

  • Three Chumash-Style Pictograph Sites in Fernandeño Territory
    THREE CHUMASH-STYLE PICTOGRAPH SITES IN FERNANDEÑO TERRITORY ALBERT KNIGHT SANTA BARBARA MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY There are three significant archaeology sites in the eastern Simi Hills that have an elaborate polychrome pictograph component. Numerous additional small loci of rock art and major midden deposits that are rich in artifacts also characterize these three sites. One of these sites, the “Burro Flats” site, has the most colorful, elaborate, and well-preserved pictographs in the region south of the Santa Clara River and west of the Los Angeles Basin and the San Fernando Valley. Almost all other painted rock art in this region consists of red-only paintings. During the pre-contact era, the eastern Simi Hills/west San Fernando Valley area was inhabited by a mix of Eastern Coastal Chumash and Fernandeño. The style of the paintings at the three sites (CA-VEN-1072, VEN-149, and LAN-357) is clearly the same as that found in Chumash territory. If the quantity and the quality of rock art are good indicators, then it is probable that these three sites were some of the most important ceremonial sites for the region. An examination of these sites has the potential to help us better understand this area of cultural interaction. This article discusses the polychrome rock art at the Burro Flats site (VEN-1072), the Lake Manor site (VEN-148/149), and the Chatsworth site (LAN-357). All three of these sites are located in rock shelters in the eastern Simi Hills. The Simi Hills are mostly located in southeast Ventura County, although the eastern end is in Los Angeles County (Figure 1).

  • 5. Environmental Analysis
    5. Environmental Analysis 5.1 CULTURAL RESOURCES Cultural resources include places, object, structures, and settlements that reflect group or individual religious, archaeological, architectural, or paleontological activities, or are considered important for their architectural or historical value. Such resources provide information on scientific progress, environmental adaptations, group ideology, or other human advancements. This section of the Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR) evaluates the potential for implementation of the San Marino High School Michael White Adobe project to impact cultural resources in the City of San Marino. The analysis in this section is based, in part, upon the following information: • Michael White Adobe Historic Resources Technical Report, Chattel Architecture, Planning, and Preservation, August 4, 2009. This study is included in Appendix D of this Draft EIR. 5.1.1 Regulatory Background National Historic Preservation Act Section 106 (Protection of Historic Properties) of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (NHPA) requires federal agencies to take into account the effects of their undertakings on historic properties. Section 106 Review refers to the federal review process designed to ensure that historic properties are considered during federal project planning and implementation. The Advisory Council on Historic Preservation, an independent federal agency, administers the review process, with assistance from State Historic Preservation Offices. National Register of Historic Resources (National Register) The National Register is the nation’s official list of historic and cultural resources worthy of preservation. Authorized under the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as amended, the National Register is part of a national program to coordinate and support public and private efforts to identify, evaluate, and protect the country’s historic and archaeological resources.

  • LA Zoo Vision Plan
    3.14 Recreation 3.14 RECREATION The Zoo is a unique attraction within Griffith Park and the greater Los Angeles area. The proposed Project is expected to increase visitation to the Zoo and surrounding area, creating the potential for additional use and physical deterioration of recreational facilities, including those within the Zoo and Griffith Park. Additionally, proposed expansion to the Zoo and associated recreational facilities could result in physical impacts to the surrounding environment. However, proposed expansion in visitor-serving areas and public parkland would accommodate the projected increase in use, reducing potential for adverse impacts. Therefore, impacts to recreational facilities from the Project would be less than significant. This section addresses recreational facilities that would be affected by the Los Angeles Zoo Vision Plan (Vision Plan) in the City of Los Angeles (City). The analysis describes the regulatory setting, the existing conditions at the Zoo and vicinity, and the potential impact of the implementation of the Vision Plan (Project) on recreational facilities. Impact analysis considers the potential for physical detriment or reduction in access to existing recreational facilities and whether development of new recreational facilities would significantly affect the environment. 3.14.1 Environmental Setting Regulatory Setting State and local laws and regulations have been enacted to ensure adequate provision of recreational facilities in the City. There are no federal regulations that apply to the Project. State Regulations Quimby Act (California Government Code Section 66477) The Quimby Act (California Government Code Section 66477) was established in 1965 by the California Legislature to set forth provisions in the State Subdivision Map Act for the dedication of parkland (e.g., dedication ratio of three acres per 1,000 population) and/or payment of in-lieu fees as a condition of approval of certain types of residential development projects.

First, the majority of the themes and property types significant in military history in Los Angeles are covered under other contexts and themes of the citywide historic context statement as indicated in the “Introduction” below. Second, many of the city’s military resources are already designated City Historic-Cultural Monuments and/or are listed in the National Register.1 Finally, with the exception of air raid sirens, a small number of military-related resources were identified as part of SurveyLA and, as such, did not merit development of full narrative themes and eligibility standards.
