  • Developments in Sustainability and Implications for Columbus
    Developments in Sustainability and Implications for Columbus The Ohio State University Public Policy Analysis Capstone March 2011 By Chelsea Brown Sarah Fries Lowell Howard Glennon Sweeney Ben Williams 1 Introduction The notion of sustainability is a multi-faceted concept that has recently received much attention from the United States and the international community at large due to its innate global importance. It is extremely difficult, if not impossible, to construct a consensus definition on the topic. However, a broader conceptual framework can be deduced that focuses on the relationship between individuals and their physical and social environment. This relationship is imperative and foundational to understanding the overall notion of sustainability. As the concept of sustainability has evolved, related topics such as sustainable development, sustainable communities, and the overall sustainable levels of the world’s cities have incrementally garnered more clout in tackling this inevitable issue of concern. Overall, the fundamental question, for both the purposes of this project and for the broader topic of sustainability, is how seriously are cities taking the pursuit of sustainability? To better understand the importance of this question, one must be aware that many avenues for pursuing sustainable projects are available and that all projects will vary according to their geographic location, governance structure, the overall ideological mood of the location, and many other factors that all deserve consideration, as they contribute to this vital and global topic. Further, a myriad of topics can be included in the realm of sustainability, most importantly are the areas of economic development and ensuring environmental vitality. Additionally, and contrary to the progress of the concept, some cities might not place significant value on sustainability and therefore efforts to improve sustainability measures will ultimately be stifled, or simply non-existent.

  • Health Impact Review of SB 5343 Relating to Parking Impact Mitigation from Regional Transit Authority Facility Construction (2015-2016 Legislative Sessions)
    Executive Summary: Health Impact Review of SB 5343 Relating to Parking Impact Mitigation from Regional Transit Authority Facility Construction (2015-2016 legislative sessions) It is unclear whether SB 5343 has the potential to increase financial stability for individuals who reside in a restricted parking zone near a transit facility. However, if the bill results in improved financial security (as suggested by some community input), evidence indicates the bill has potential to improve health outcomes. It is unclear how the bill would impact health disparities. BILL INFORMATION Sponsors: Senators Hasegawa, King, Jayapal, Chase, Rolfes, Keiser, Darneille, Conway Summary of Bill: Requires a regional transit authority to consider the potential impacts of a transportation facility on parking in residential areas and provide appropriate parking impact mitigation for residents nearby. Requires a regional transit authority to pay for the cost of parking permits in the vicinity of a transportation facility if a local government implements zoned residential parking as a direct result of the facility. HEALTH IMPACT REVIEW Summary of Findings: This Health Impact Review found the following evidence regarding the provisions in SB 5343: The relationship between subsidies for parking mitigation measures, such as residential parking program permits, and financial security has not been well researched. Very strong evidence that increased financial security for low-income individuals who reside in a restricted parking zone (RPZ) near a transit facility

The protocol is clear and well designed. The specimen collections (nasal swabs and environmental sampling at childcare locations) and the analysis methods proposed (molecular epidemiology studies, clinical assessments) will lead to a much clearer picture of influenza transmission in a metropolitan area, and help inform policy for intervention strategies. This protocol also provides a solid framework that can be repurposed for the surveillance of other emerging infections, like on September 29, 2021 by guest.

    © Copyright 2017 Michelle Yellin Beyond Integrity: Prioritizing Historic Significance over Historic Integrity for a Representative Landscape of Built Cultural Heritage in Seattle's Central District Michelle Yellin A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Urban Planning University of Washington 2017 Committee: Manish Chalana Rachel Berney Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Urban Design & Planning University of Washington Abstract Beyond Integrity: Prioritizing Historic Significance over Historic Integrity for a Representative Landscape of Built Cultural Heritage in Seattle's Central District Michelle Yellin Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Associate Professor, Manish Chalana, MLA, PhD Urban Design & Planning Traditionally, the field and practice of historic preservation in much of the Western world has valued primarily white, European, upper-class male history and heritage. This is in large part because historic integrity is prioritized over historic significance in the evaluation of historic properties, which leaves vernacular built heritage associated with minority communities unrecognized and unprotected. Such is the case in Seattle’s historically Black Central District neighborhood, which is currently experiencing rapid growth and development that threatens many vernacular properties considered significant to Black history and culture. Using archival methods, analytical mapping, and field ethnography, this thesis quantifies how historic integrity has triumphed over historic significance in the evaluation of vernacular built heritage associated with Black history and culture in the Central District, and explores four cases in depth that illustrate this point further. The final chapter reflects on ways to rethink the evaluation of historic integrity and historic significance on both national and local levels, and offers suggestions to improve local efforts to preserve culturally significant heritage associated with minority communities.
