  • Perceptions of Safety on the North Oconee River Greenway
    PERCEPTIONS OF SAFETY ON THE NORTH OCONEE RIVER GREENWAY by EMILY REED FEAGAN (Under the Direction of David Spooner) ABSTRACT This thesis examines whether negative perceptions of safety are affecting use of the North Oconee River Greenway (NORG). Previous research shows that negative perceptions of safety are obstacles to use for public outdoor spaces in both urban and natural settings. A review of relevant literature and theory indicates that perceptions of safety, fear of crime, and crime itself, can be influenced by physical site design. A survey questionnaire focused on trail use and perceptions of the NORG was distributed to people in Athens-Clarke County; survey results were analyzed, examined through the lens of relevant theories and previous research, and are discussed as to what they mean for the NORG. The survey results show that negative perceptions of safety on the NORG exist and may affect people’s use and frequency of use of it. This thesis also shows how these perceptions can be ameliorated to an extent through environmental design measures.

Iowa State University students volunteering Volunteer David Court performs weekly at the Employees from Hughes Subaru of Athens at at Williams Farm. West Broad Farmers Market. Williams Farm. The last week in April marks National Volunteer Week, a time to spotlight the integral role volunteers play in supporting organizations in their communities. Every day, ALT is better able to serve those in need in our community thanks to dedicated, hardworking, and passionate volunteers from Athens and beyond. Over the past year, volunteers have contributed more than 3,000 hours in support of ALT’s programs! Since last fall,Trinity Accounting Group, Athens Church, students with UGA IMPACT, ServeUGA and the Department of Horticulture, and students from Coile Middle School were among the groups that helped out at Williams Farm, the West Broad Farmers Market and Garden, Five Acre Woods, and at ALT’s special events. This spring, volunteers came from near and far to Williams Farm: we hosted teams from Hughes Subaru of Athens, as well as 43 students and advisors from the Iowa State University chapter of Students Today Leaders Forever, who completed service projects in six cities across the country as part of their Spring Break Pay It Forward Tour. These groups helped clear privet, spread mulch and compost, painted the facilities in the farm’s pavilion, dug irrigation trenches, and more. To all of our volunteers we say: Thank you for your service! We can do what we do only with your help!
