Manager's Snapshot – November 13, 2020 November 13, 2020 This is a monthly update issued by the Manager’s Office regarding the activities of the Unified Government. The Mayor and Commission have developed “strategic commitments” that communicate what the citizens of Athens-Clarke County should expect from their local government. The report is not a comprehensive list of all activities undertaken by the Unified Government, but rather a select amount of information to help inform the public. The information is organized under these strategic commitment headings. Updated information from the past month is found in blue text.

  • 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. INDEX WORDS: Landscape architecture, Greenways, Perception of safety, Safety, Fear, Crime, Defensible space theory, Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design, Survey, Questionnaire, North Oconee River Greenway, Athens, Georgia PERCEPTIONS OF SAFETY ON THE NORTH OCONEE RIVER GREENWAY by EMILY REED FEAGAN B.S., Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, 2006 A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of The University of Georgia in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree MASTER OF LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE ATHENS, GEORGIA 2011 © 2011 Emily Reed Feagan All Rights Reserved PERCEPTIONS OF SAFETY ON THE NORTH OCONEE RIVER GREENWAY by EMILY REED FEAGAN Major Professor: David Spooner Committee: Katherine Melcher Lara Mathes Melinda Cochran Electronic Version Approved: Maureen Grasso Dean of the Graduate School The University of Georgia August 2011 DEDICATION For my grandparents, Duke and Nancy Reed and Bessie Feagan, who always gave me encouragement and provided my life with joy.

  • Paradise for Misfits
    6 paradise for misfits College towns, like the schools located in them, are tran-­ sient places. Young people come to them to pursue an education and leave once they earn their degrees. For most of the history of American higher education, this model held true for nearly all young people who attended college at residential universities. They went away to college naïve and irre-­ sponsible, and graduated four years later more mature and self-­confident. They moved to cities and suburbs, began careers, got married, and started families. If they ever returned to the college town of their youth, it was to attend football games or alumni gatherings, and remember their college years. You were not supposed to stay in a college town after you graduated. The dynamics of college town life began to change in the 1960s. Col-­ lege enrollments grew rapidly as the children of the baby boom reached college age. Colleges and universities were forced to expand their faculties, and many of the new professors were more liberal than their predeces-­ sors, having earned their degrees in an era of war protests and civil rights marches. They influenced their students. College students, meanwhile, looked around them and saw a world in the throes of convulsive change. Heroes were gunned down. Politicians were proven corrupt. Large corpo-­ rations began to shape life in profound ways. To some young people, the American dream began to look like a nightmare. They started to question the conventional path of career, marriage, and family. Some quit school. Others saw in college towns an opportunity to create alternative ways of life outside the American mainstream.
