  • Podolak Multifunctional Riverscapes
    Multifunctional Riverscapes: Stream restoration, Capability Brown’s water features, and artificial whitewater By Kristen Nicole Podolak A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Landscape Architecture and Environmental Planning in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor G. Mathias Kondolf, Chair Professor Louise Mozingo Professor Vincent H. Resh Spring 2012 i Abstract Multifunctional Riverscapes by Kristen Nicole Podolak Doctor of Philosophy in Landscape Architecture and Environmental Planning University of California, Berkeley Professor G. Mathias Kondolf, Chair Society is investing in river restoration and urban river revitalization as a solution for sustainable development. Many of these river projects adopt a multifunctional planning and design approach that strives to meld ecological, aesthetic, and recreational functions. However our understanding of how to accomplish multifunctionality and how the different functions work together is incomplete. Numerous ecologically justified river restoration projects may actually be driven by aesthetic and recreational preferences that are largely unexamined. At the same time river projects originally designed for aesthetics or recreation are now attempting to integrate habitat and environmental considerations to make the rivers more sustainable. Through in-depth study of a variety of constructed river landscapes - including dense historical river bend designs, artificial whitewater, and urban stream restoration this dissertation analyzes how aesthetic, ecological, and recreational functions intersect and potentially conflict. To explore how aesthetic and biophysical processes work together in riverscapes, I explored the relationship between one ideal of beauty, an s-curve illustrated by William Hogarth in the 18th century and two sets of river designs: 18th century river designs in England and late 20th century river restoration designs in North America.

  • Your Courses
    Advertising your courses Introduction Whether you’re a social media pro or beginning to find your feet, this guide will help you understand how to apply concepts and best practises to run effective social media campaigns and advertising to help tell our community about your courses. Target audience Before you begin to advertise you need to consider your target audience, their interests and their skill level. Think about the following questions below: • Who has attended your courses in the past? • What is their age group, gender, etc.? • Skill level - is your course for beginners, intermediate or advanced paddlers? This will determine the language and imagery that you use, e.g. a beginners course shouldn’t be using technical language. Use relevant imagery to target them e.g. don’t use family paddling shots if your course is aimed at existing coaches running technical sessions. Writing your advert • Start by looking at existing adverts. What attracts you to an advert? What doesn’t work so well? • Think about your unique selling point - maybe your courses are set in natural beauty spots? Are you the only provider in the area who deals with a specific discipline? • You need to make the course sound appealing - what will participants experience? What will they learn? • Short and snappy - you need a tagline to grab people’s attention. Can you summarise your offering in a few words? • Clear and concise - make sure you get across the message in as few words as possible, 20 or less. Ideally you should be able to convey what the course is and where it is in 30 seconds or less.
