UG ETD Template Explaining the Impact of Funding on Public Skatepark Design: A Case Study of Skateparks in Hamilton, Ontario by Sam Heaman A Thesis presented to The University of Guelph In partial fulfilment of requirements for the degree of Master of Landscape Architecture Guelph, Ontario, Canada © Sam Heaman, May 2020 ABSTRACT EXPLAINING THE IMPACT OF FUNDING ON PUBLIC SKATEPARK DESIGN: A CASE STUDY OF SKATEPARKS IN HAMILTON, ONTARIO Sam Heaman Advisor: University of Guelph, 2020 Dr. Nadia Amoroso Over the past decade, Hamilton, Ontario has been committed to bringing new and improved skateparks to the city. Some of these projects were funded via the municipal tax base, and others were funded by developer fees. The aim of this study is to determine how support and funding was garnered for these new projects and discern what impact the source of funding has on each project’s final design. This study covers three case studies of skateparks within Hamilton and compare their funding and design to determine how alternative funding impacts public recreational space. Each case includes semi-structured interviews with key informants involved in planning, design and community engagement and secondary analysis of news articles and studies on skateboarding conducted by the City of Hamilton. Findings indicate that funding through developer fees places limits on the location and size of the project, but overall is beneficial from an advocacy standpoint. Key Words: public space, neoliberalism, skateboarding culture, skatepark iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS First, I want to thank the friends that I made in the program, whose support throughout the program was truly indispensable. I have no doubt that Nate’s predictions will come true and we will remain friends for the rest of our careers. I am also indebted to the MLA faculty especially Dr. Nadia Amoroso, whose direction and leadership helped assuage my worries and lend a designer’s eye to my research. Thanks also to Steven Clarke for acting as co-advisor, and to Dr. Nate Perkins for serving on my committee. To Diana Foolen, thank you for performing your responsibilities with patience and grace. I promise to read my emails every day. And thanks also to Dr. Martin Holland for chairing my defense and proving that philosophy has a place in landscape architecture. To the participants, my research would be nothing without your help. Your time and insight brought skateboarding in Hamilton to light in a way that would have been impossible otherwise. A thousand thanks and much love to my family, Mom, Dad & Jessie. Finally, thanks are due to the “staff” at “Guse & Associates” who made me feel wanted and helpful, even if all I ever did was go on coffee runs. Go flamingos. iv TABLE OF CONTENTS Abstract ............................................................................................................................ii Acknowledgements

  • 2017 SLS Nike SB World Tour and Only One Gets the Opportunity to Claim the Title ‘SLS Nike SB Super Crown World Champion’
    SLS NIKE SB WORLD TOUR: MUNICH SCHEDULE SLS 2016 1 JUNE 24, 2017 OLYMPIC PARK MUNICH ABOUT SLS Founded by pro skateboarder Rob Dyrdek in 2010, Street League Skateboarding (SLS) was created to foster growth, popularity, and acceptance of street skateboarding worldwide. Since then, SLS has evolved to become a platform that serves to excite the skateboarding community, educate both the avid and casual fans, and empower communities through its very own SLS Foundation. In support of SLS’ mission, Nike SB joined forces with SLS in 2013 to create SLS Nike SB World Tour. In 2014, the SLS Super Crown World Championship became the official street skateboarding world championship series as sanctioned by the International Skateboarding Federation (ISF). In 2015, SLS announced a long-term partnership with Skatepark of Tampa (SPoT) to create a premium global qualification system that spans from amateur events to the SLS Nike SB Super Crown World Championship. The SPoT partnership officially transitions Tampa Pro into becoming the SLS North American Qualifier that gives one non-SLS Pros the opportunity to qualify to the Barcelona Pro Open and one non-SLS Pro will become part of the 2017 World Tour SLS Pros. Tampa Pro will also serve as a way for current SLS Pros to gain extra championship qualification points to qualify to the Super Crown. SLS is now also the exclusive channel for live streaming of Tampa Pro and Tampa Am. This past March, SLS Picks 2017, Louie Lopez, took the win at Tampa Pro, gaining him the first Golden Ticket of the year straight to Super Crown.

  • THE GORE PARK BEACONS PUBLIC ART PROJECT Public Consultation
    THE GORE PARK BEACONS PUBLIC ART PROJECT Public Consultation Results The following are a list of the comments provided by members of the public during consultation at the Tourism Information Centre and online at the City of Hamilton website from March 7 to March 20 2017. Thank you to the 220 people who have provided their comments to date. Dave Kuruc • Dave Kuruc is my first choice. Music brings people of all ages and backgrounds together. This would be a beautiful tribute to our city. • I love Dave Kuruc's proposal (truly, all three are lovely, but Dave gets my vote): Hamilton is a diverse city in so many ways, and Dave's proposal speaks to the artistic diversity of the city; and the celebration of Hamilton-born music is such an accessible and universally appealing point of entry and the submission can be appreciated on so many levels. • I like Dave Kuruc the best. It's very urban • I think Dave Kuruc's vision pieces together both visual artists and the art of musicians. In this way it showcases a part of Hamilton's downtown in a creative collaborative way. It includes more than just one artist's work and even more than just one type of art. The snippets of lyrics will invite people to guess the artist and the particular song. Knowing our local musicians and their work is a point of pride for Hamiltonians. I can imagine people gathering with competing guesses about the lyrics. How fitting people could read such markers at Supercrawl and perhaps hear the songs from the park.

  • Street Skateboarding Theory Simulation: Character Movement and Environment Meriyana Citrawati 0800766172
    BINUS UNIVERSITY INTERNATIONAL BINUS UNIVERSITY Computer Science Major Multimedia Stream Sarjana Komputer Thesis Semester Even year 2008 Street Skateboarding Theory Simulation: Character Movement and Environment Meriyana Citrawati 0800766172 Abstract The objective of this thesis is to analyze the current learning media of street skateboarding, build a new skateboarding learning media using computer graphic software with 3D technology. To help people to learn skateboarding through a street skateboarding theory simulation, more than one viewing angle for learning skateboarding tricks and slow motion feature to aid users. The analysis of the current learning media and enthusiasts will be made by interviewing a pro skater and distribute questionnaire to all people both skaters and non skaters. From the questionnaires, pie charts will be used to explain the details of the current learning media and enthusiasts’ type. The results of the questionnaire will be used to create the street skateboarding theory simulation. The Waterfall method will be used to make a mock-up of the simulation so that the users could see and try out the simulation. The result of this thesis is that this Street Skateboarding Theory Simulation will be created as a new learning media to help people, both skater and non skater, in learning skateboarding tricks and also to solve problems of learning skateboard through other media. To conclude, this Street Skateboarding Theory Simulation is aimed to help people to learn street skateboarding. v Keywords: Skateboarding, Simulation, Computer graphic software, Waterfall method. vi ACKNOWLEDGEMENT First of all, I would like to thank God that I can complete my education in BiNus.
