  • Oconee Hill Cemetery
    OCONEE HILL CEMETERY: ENVISIONING A LIVING LANDSCAPE by JUDSON SHEPPARD ABBOTT (Under the Direction of Eric MacDonald) ABSTRACT Oconee Hill Cemetery is an important historic landscape in the city of Athens, Georgia. However, management issues during the past decades have decreased its relevance to the local community. This thesis seeks to discover appropriate strategies to improve the current management approach at the cemetery. In order to do this, the thesis explores important background information such as the landscape’s historical context, its current management structure, and current management issues. It also studies the opinions and values of current managers and cemetery visitors. Finally, it reviews successful management models that other cemetery management teams have adopted. By overlaying these threads of information, the thesis isolates a number of appropriate and feasible strategies for Oconee Hill’s future management. Included in these recommendations are changes to the cemetery’s current management structure, an increased focus on public outreach, and the adoption of a master plan.

  • Athens Campus
    Athens Campus Athens Campus Introduction The University of Georgia is centered around the town of Athens, located approximately 60 miles northeast of the capital of Atlanta, Georgia. The University was incorporated by an act of the General Assembly on January 25, 1785, as the first state-chartered and supported college in the United States. The campus began to take physical form after a 633-acre parcel of land was donated for this purpose in 1801. The university’s first building—Franklin College, now Old College—was completed in 1806. Initially a liberal-arts focused college, University of Georgia remained modest in size and grew slowly during the Figure 48. Emblem of the antebellum years of the nineteenth century. In 1862, passage of the Morrill Act University of Georgia. by Congress would eventually lead to dramatic changes in the focus, curriculum, and educational opportunities afforded at the University of Georgia. The Morrill Act authorized the establishment of a system of land grant colleges, which supported, among other initiatives, agricultural education within the United States. The University of Georgia began to receive federal funds as a land grant college in 1872 and to offer instruction in agriculture and mechanical arts. The role of agricultural education and research has continued to grow ever since, and is now supported by experiment stations, 4-H centers, and marine institutes located throughout the state. The Athens campus forms the heart of the University of Georgia’s educational program. The university is composed of seventeen colleges and schools, some of which include auxiliary divisions that offer teaching, research, and service activities.

  • NBAF Draft Environmental Impact Statement, Chapter 3, Part 3.9-3.13
    NBAF Draft Environmental Impact Statement 3.9 CULTURAL RESOURCES 3.9.1 Methodology The National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (NHPA) requires federal agencies to record, evaluate, preserve, and plan for management of cultural resources. The NHPA further requires federal agencies to consult with the State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO) and the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation before modifying, removing, or demolishing any historic structure potentially eligible, eligible, or listed in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). The NRHP is the official national list of cultural resources that are deemed worthy of preservation. Properties listed in the NRHP include districts, sites, buildings, structures, and objects that are significant in American history, architecture, archaeology, engineering, and culture. Additional historic preservation laws and executive orders that must be adhered to include the Archeological and Historic Preservation Act of 1974, the Archeological Resources Protection Act of 1979, Native American Graves and Repatriation Act of 1990, American Indian Religious Freedom Act of 1978, Executive Order 13007: Indian Sacred Sites, and Executive Order 11593: Protection and Enhancement of the Cultural Environment. Database searches were conducted for known archaeological and historically significant resources at each of the proposed NBAF sites. Archaeological and historical sites were identified and the footprint for the conceptual design was overlaid on the site boundaries to assist in determining the potential for adverse effects from the proposed construction and operation of the proposed NBAF. Intensive archaeological surveys were performed for sites with significant potential for archaeological resources. Once compiled for each of the sites, in compliance with Section 106 consultation requirements under NHPA, the resulting information pertaining to archaeological and historical resources and potential effects from proposed construction was submitted to the appropriate SHPO for review and concurrence with the findings.

  • 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.
