3.3 Proceedings CELA 2019 - ABSTRACTS 1. ENGAGED SCHOLARSHIP PAPER ABSTRACTS Hope Hui Rising, 405, Multi-Level Design Games for Future-Proofing Post-Flood Cities: Houston as a test case Similar to serious games with educational and practical purposes beyond entertainment, design games are effective in generating collaborative solutions to simulated real-life situations in the future (Iversen and Buur 2002, Kyttä, Kaaja et al. 2004). The author proposes a future-proof design game informed by the concepts of multi-scalar community capacity, scenario planning, multi-systems resilience, and adaptation pathways. The Greater Houston region serves as a test case to illustrate how flood adaptation design can be facilitated by these essential components. The multilevel community capacity model has been found instrumental in adapting communities to flooding because the ultimate solutions to flooding involve local, city, county, watershed, and regional level (Davenport, Seekamp et al. 2013). This multi-scalar perspective has been lacking in community resilience literature dominated by inland flooding (Cutter, Ash et al. 2014). Yet, a community’s watershed location and distance to the coast could compound inland flooding with riverine and coastal flooding. Three typical community responses to environmental change (resilience, adaptation, and transformation) coincide with three typical climate adaptation attitudes (status-quo with emergency evacuation, adaptation in-situ, and proactive planning for future relocation) (Kates, Travis et al. 2012, Davenport, Seekamp et al. 2013, Maldonado, Shearer et al. 2013, Gromilova 2014). Scenarios have been used to illuminate the consequences of current adaptation attitudes as alternative futures so that trade-offs between alternative futures can be factored into a consensus-based decision-making process in the present (Lebel and Development 2006, Davenport, Seekamp et al. 2013). The interactions of social, health, and flood resilience have been well documented (Tapsell, Penning-Rowsell et al. 2002, Cutter, Burton et al. 2010). A multi-systems approach to resilience enables the use of GeoDesign process as part of the design game to identify suitable locations for accommodating evacuation, adaptation, and relocation scenarios. Adaptation pathways present reactive solutions to instantaneous events, such as tsunamis, and a series of responses over time to an incremental change, such as sea level rise. To prepare for uncertain futures, short-term “no-regret” strategies serve as building blocks of a long-term trajectory to a multi-scalar and multi-systems resilience that enhances future generations’ adaptive capacity for environmental change (Barnett, Graham et al. 2014). This research demonstrates the feasibility of using design games to help galvanize interjurisdictional synergies and to engage experts and non- experts in co-creating consensus-based flood adaptation design alternatives across scales, scenarios, systems, and time frames along adaptation pathways that lead to uncertain alternative futures. Brendan Stewart, Karen Landman, and Daniel Rotsztain, 216, PlazaPOPS: Tactical urbanism in a vibrant suburban Toronto strip-mall parking lot This presentation offers a case study of an active, complex, and in-process ‘engaged scholarship’ project set in Toronto, Canada. Led by LA faculty members and a recent MLA graduate, plazaPOPS is a high-impact, low-cost pilot project that employs an integrated service-learning and research-based methodology in the design, implementation, and performance measurement of a temporary ‘pop up’ community gathering space, to be installed and programmed in Summer 2019. Funded in part through the Public Space Incubator, a competitive not-for-profit grant program, the project is situated within a privately-owned parking lot at a vibrant ‘mom and pop’ strip-mall, DRAFT - revised 3.8.19 Page 1 of 220 CELA 2019 - ABSTRACTS along a wide arterial main street in inner-suburban Toronto — a commercial building typology that is emblematic of the City’s development in the early post-war period (Relph, 2013). Built for the car but now used by large numbers of pedestrians, cyclists, and transit riders, a higher than average proportion of whom are new Canadians, these strip-mall streetscapes are important places of community life, despite an inadequate public realm (Farrow and Hess, 2010). With smaller levels of developer-generated investment than elsewhere in the City, and with municipal improvements limited to the relatively narrow strip of publicly-owned right-of-way, there are significant obstacles to enhancing the quality of the public realm following conventional means (Rotsztain, 2018). Inspired by examples of tactical-urbanism (Lydon and Garcia, 2015), the plazaPOPS pilot proposes a new type of privately- owned-public-space (POPS) (Biggar, 2015), that could inform an incremental program of modestly-scaled and strategically-located public space upgrades, each taking advantage of under-utilized portions of strip mall parking lots in large swaths of Toronto, supporting both community life and local businesses. The project engages landscape architecture students through various channels, including an independent study student conducting background research, a graduate design studio developing conceptual design strategies through community workshops, research assistants undertaking pre- and post-intervention analysis, and student involvement in fabrication, installation and site documentation. A series of community organizations are engaged with the project, including partnerships with a Business Improvement Area organization, a local Arts not-for-profit, and a local Arts secondary school, as well as the committed engagement of the local Ward Councillor and City planning staff. The presentation describes the plazaPOPS project design and research methodology, and offers reflections on the risks, challenges, opportunities, and insights that have been discovered at the mid point of the process. Michael Sánchez and Robert Krikac, 353, Rural Community Design Initiative (RCDI): A model in transdisciplinary community engagement, participatory design process and experiential learning Washington State University (WSU) is a land-grant institution which seeks to continue its tradition of service to society through, in part, an application of knowledge through local and global engagement. Housed in the School of Design and Construction (SDC), the Rural Community Design Initiative (RCDI)—a university / community partnership—endeavors to deliver on the University’s mission by harnessing our passion and concern for underrepresented populations and compromised landscapes using “Design” as a vehicle for improving the quality of life in rural communities of the Pacific Northwest. While the field of community engagement scholarship has in some form been a movement in the U.S. since the late 1960s, its early roots of service-learning was primarily centered around student volunteerism. Momentum since the late 1990s has seen the combination of service-learning with civic engagement and with it a new body of knowledge around engaging community through a reciprocal participatory design process, reaping benefits for both the community and university. The purpose of this study is to analyze and document the model of transdisciplinary community engagement utilized by RCDI in delivering a transformative, experiential learning experience to students, confronting and bringing clarity to the complex issues and challenges faced by rural communities of the Northwest while building and disseminating new knowledge of the built environment through the lens of community engagement. This will be achieved first through a case study investigation of two RCDI community projects in Washington. The first is a recent project in the City of College Place, WA in which design standards and guidelines for building design, streetscape design, and public space were produced for the future growth and development of the community. The second case study will be a project that is underway, supporting the City of Royal City, WA in considering a new community center. These case studies will then be compared and evaluated against the current literature in Community Engagement Scholarship by means of an extensive literature review. Results from this study will be used to refine and advance the RCDI’s mission and core values as part of a larger initiative, guiding research conducted in the SDC. These outcomes will guide the RCDI in becoming a nationally recognized center and model in community engagement scholarship as well as making it more effective in its contributions and collaboration with the rural communities it serves.

A Danish study of nearly 20,000 students found walking increased students’ ability to concentrate for up to four hours (Niels Egelund, interviewed by Dann, 2012). However, children walking/biking to school in the US decreased from 41-10% in 1969-2009 (Chillón et al., 2014; McDonald, 2007). In West Virginia, 13-20% of students walked to Suncrest Primary School (preK-3) before the school relocated in 2017 to the new Suncrest Elementary School (preK-5) building, just outside city limits.

  • Records of the Transmission of the Lamp (Jingde Chuadeng
    The Hokun Trust is pleased to support the fifth volume of a complete translation of this classic of Chan (Zen) Buddhism by Randolph S. Whitfield. The Records of the Transmission of the Lamp is a religious classic of the first importance for the practice and study of Zen which it is hoped will appeal both to students of Buddhism and to a wider public interested in religion as a whole. Contents Foreword by Albert Welter Preface Acknowledgements Introduction Appendix to the Introduction Abbreviations Book Eighteen Book Nineteen Book Twenty Book Twenty-one Finding List Bibliography Index Foreword The translation of the Jingde chuandeng lu (Jingde era Record of the Transmission of the Lamp) is a major accomplishment. Many have reveled in the wonders of this text. It has inspired countless numbers of East Asians, especially in China, Japan and Korea, where Chan inspired traditions – Chan, Zen, and Son – have taken root and flourished for many centuries. Indeed, the influence has been so profound and pervasive it is hard to imagine Japanese and Korean cultures without it. In the twentieth century, Western audiences also became enthralled with stories of illustrious Zen masters, many of which are rooted in the Jingde chuandeng lu. I remember meeting Alan Ginsburg, intrepid Beat poet and inveterate Buddhist aspirant, in Shanghai in 1985. He had been invited as part of a literary cultural exchange between China and the U. S., to perform a series of lectures for students at Fudan University, where I was a visiting student. Eager to meet people who he could discuss Chinese Buddhism with, I found myself ushered into his company to converse on the subject.

  • What Is Livability? Tyce Herrman and Rebecca Lewis, Phd, SCI Research Director, University of Oregon
    Research Initiative 2015-2017: Framing Livability What is Livability? Tyce Herrman and Rebecca Lewis, PhD, SCI Research Director, University of Oregon Introduction Livability has emerged as an important concept in the field of planning. Increasingly, policy and community planning efforts at all levels of governance use the term “livability,” often in describing long range goals. Livability is used in wide array of contexts within the field of planning: transportation, community development, resilience, and many other subdisciplines have incorporated livability. It is used in a number of other fields as well, some of which are closely interrelated to planning (e.g., subjective well-being and quality of life research). Though the term is often used in plans, the concept of livability has several definitions. Attempts to define the term have produced a wide range of themes and properties. However, most invocations of livability are not attempts to define the term. Rather, clues on implicit definitions emerge from the term’s usage. While usages are mutually exclusive or conflicting on occasion, understanding the ways in which livability is used offers insights on what livability means to planners and communities. This study reviewed urban planning journals, professional magazines, and news stories to reveal trends in the usage of livability and efforts to define it. The first part of this brief discusses how the term has been used. The second part of this brief explores the sources of definitions. This brief concludes with further comments on the nature of livability and how it can be more consistently and successfully applied in planning contexts. 1 History of Livability As it is used today, livability first made an appearance in the 1950s.

These include direct impacts on land used for transportation facilities, and indirect impacts caused by changes to land use development patterns. In particular, certain transportation planning decisions tend to increase sprawl (dispersed, urban-fringe, automobile-dependent development), while others support smart growth (more compact, infill, multi-modal development). These development patterns have various economic, social and environmental impacts. This report describes specific methods for evaluating these impacts in transport planning. Originally published as “Land Use Impact Costs of Transportation,” World Transport Policy & Practice, Vol. 1, No. 4, 1995, pp. 9-16.
