Urban Dwellers and Neighborhood Nature: Exploring Urban Residents' Connection to Place, Community, and Environment
URBAN DWELLERS AND NEIGHBORHOOD NATURE: EXPLORING URBAN RESIDENTS' CONNECTION TO PLACE, COMMUNITY, AND ENVIRONMENT by SARAH P. CHURCH BMUS, The University of Idaho, 1996 MUP, The University of Utah, 2007 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE AND POSTDOCTORAL STUDIES (Planning) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) October 2013 © Sarah P. Church, 2013 Abstract Urban residents, in part due to issues of urban form and lifestyle choice, have become both physically and cognitively disconnected from the environment and natural processes – a disconnection that has contributed to decisions that have led to over consumption of natural resources and degradation of Earth. The form of the built environment has contributed to this separation, with city development embedded within infrastructures of concrete and pavement. Further, there is little attention paid to smaller scale integration of nature at the neighborhood level that might allow for frequent resident contact and activity. Today, whether in growth or decline, cities are faced with regulatory obligations and crumbling infrastructure. These issues are compounded by the pressing need to address sustainable development and resilience in the face of uncertainty around climate change and the need for reduced oil use. Incremental urban restructuring of neighborhoods through planning and designing to the specifics of local ecology (place-based design) has the potential to restore a balance between urban areas and natural systems. I therefore studied how urban residents perceive and interact with these systems in order to answer the question: How does active involvement in Portland’s Tabor to the River watershed health program foster place-based awareness and environmental learning? This dissertation is an exploratory qualitative case study undertaken in Portland, Oregon in which I conducted 42 semi-structured interviews of community members and 14 experts. -
District Background
DRAFT SOUTHEAST LIAISON DISTRICT PROFILE DRAFT Introduction In 2004 the Bureau of Planning launched the District Liaison Program which assigns a City Planner to each of Portland’s designated liaison districts. Each planner acts as the Bureau’s primary contact between community residents, nonprofit groups and other government agencies on planning and development matters within their assigned district. As part of this program, District Profiles were compiled to provide a survey of the existing conditions, issues and neighborhood/community plans within each of the liaison districts. The Profiles will form a base of information for communities to make informed decisions about future development. This report is also intended to serve as a tool for planners and decision-makers to monitor the implementation of existing plans and facilitate future planning. The Profiles will also contribute to the ongoing dialogue and exchange of information between the Bureau of Planning, the community, and other City Bureaus regarding district planning issues and priorities. PLEASE NOTE: The content of this document remains a work-in-progress of the Bureau of Planning’s District Liaison Program. Feedback is appreciated. Area Description Boundaries The Southeast District lies just east of downtown covering roughly 17,600 acres. The District is bordered by the Willamette River to the west, the Banfield Freeway (I-84) to the north, SE 82nd and I- 205 to the east, and Clackamas County to the south.

A Report on the 2003 Parks Levy Investment Objective 1: Restore
A Report on the 2003 Parks Levy Investment In November 2002, Portland voters approved a five-year Parks Levy to begin in July 2003. Levy dollars restored budget cuts made in FY 2002-03 as well as major services and improvements outlined in the Parks 2020 Vision plan adopted by City Council in July 2001. In order to fulfill our obligation to the voters, we identified four key objectives. This report highlights what we have accomplished to date. Objective 1: Restore $2.2 million in cuts made in 2002/03 budget The 2003 Parks Levy restored cuts that were made to balance the FY 2002-03 General Fund budget. These cuts included the closure of some recreational facilities, the discontinuation and reduction of some community partnerships that provide recreational opportunities for youth, and reductions in maintenance of parks and facilities. Below is a detailed list of services restored through levy dollars. A. Restore programming at six community schools. SUN Community Schools support healthy social and cross-cultural development of all participants, teach and model values of respect and inclusion of all people, and help reduce social disparities and inequities. Currently, over 50% of students enrolled in the program are children of color. 2003/04 projects/services 2004/05 projects/services Proposed projects/services 2005/06 Hired and trained full-time Site Coordinators Total attendance at new sites (Summer Continue to develop programming to serve for 6 new PP&R SUN Community Schools: 2004-Spring 2005): 85,159 the needs of each school’s community and Arleta, Beaumont, Centennial, Clarendon, increase participation in these programs. -
Budget Reductions & Urban Forestry Learning Landscapes Plantings
View this email in your browser Share this URBAN FORESTRY January 2016 Get Involved! | Resources | Tree Permits | Tree Problems | Home In This Issue Budget Reductions & Urban Forestry Learning Landscapes Plantings, Urban Forestry in the Schoolyard Hiring Youth Conservation Crew (YCC) Summer Crew Leader, Apply by Thursday, March 3, 2016 Upcoming Urban Forestry Workshops, Free and Open to the Public Budget Reductions & Urban Forestry You may have recently heard about the upcoming 5% budget cuts proposed for Parks programs. Among the difficult reductions proposed, Urban Forestry could be effected by elimination of the $185,000 Dutch Elm Disease (DED) Treatment program. The City of Portland has minimized the spread of DED and avoided the decimation of the American elm (Ulmus americana) with a successful elm monitoring and treatment program. Without advanced warning, rapid detection and removal, the American elm could ultimately vanish from our landscape. Eastmoreland, Ladd’s Addition, the South Park blocks, Lents Park, Laurelhurst Park, and Overlook Park are areas where elms play a significant role in neighborhood identity. "Many communities have been able to maintain a healthy population of mature elms through a vigilant program of identification and removal of diseased elms and systematic pruning of weakened, dying or dead branches" -Linda Haugen, Plant Pathologist, USDA Forest Service Eliminating this program will also require adjacent property owners to cover the cost of removing DED- infected street trees themselves. The cut will also reduce citywide 24/7 emergency response to clear roads of trees which have fallen during storms, and reduce regular maintenance of publicly-owned trees- additional activities performed by some of the same staff . -

ORDINANCE NO. 187150 As Amended
ORDINANCE NO. 187150 As Amended Accept Park System Development Charge Methodology Update Report for implementation, and amend the applicable sections of City Code (Ordinance; amend Code Chapter 17.13) The City of Portland ordains: Section 1. The Council finds: 1. Ordinance No. 172614, passed by the Council on August 19, 1998 authorized establishment of a Parks and Recreation System Development Charge(SDC) and created a new City Code Chapter 17.13. 2. In October 1998 the City established a Parks SDC program. City Code required that the program be updated every two years to ensure that program goals were being met. An update was implemented on July 1, 2005 pursuant to Ordinance No. 179008, as amended. The required update reviewed the Parks SDC Program to determine that sufficient money will be available to fund capacity-increasing facilities identified by the Parks SDC-CIP; to determine whether the adopted and indexed SDC rate has kept pace with inflation; to determine whether the Parks SDC-CIP should be modified; and to ensure that SDC receipts will not over-fund such facilities. 3. Ordinance No 175774, passed by the Council on July 12, 2001 adopted The Parks 2020 Vision. This report highlighted significant challenges confronting the City in regards to shoring up our ailing park facilities, eliminating inequity in underserved neighborhoods, and providing a stable source of funding to address not just our existing shortfalls, but to also meet the needs created by new development. The Park SDC is the most significant revenue opportunity available to Parks to address growth. It is imperative that this opportunity is maximized to recover reasonable costs from new development. -
