Cultural-Historical Evaluations 
of Land Use Change

Cultural/historical resource impacts of land-use change in ESL

1. Work as a group.
2. Consider the land-use change proposed and investigate cultural historical implications.
3. Use EGRETS/ArcView to identify sites of cultural/historical value.
4. Prepare a brief report as part of your land-use evaluation homepage, linked to maps, illustrations and other relevant reports within the ESLARP on-line resources.
5. The report should take into account what you have found out about the mapped and any other cultural-historical resources, and any assumptions and guesses based on your own knowledge of the area. I want you to prepare a report that describes
• (a) how your proposed development might negatively impact cultural and historical resources through building activity, flooding etc. or
• (b) how the proposal might protect a resource from either being misguidedly destroyed, or from being "loved to death."
6. Use the WWW to find out about the area through EGRETS and any other means. Think about the more contemporary culture of Miles Davis, Jackie Joyner-Kersey etc. and how that fits in.
7. Either as credits within the report, or independently via e-mail, identify individual group members' contributions.
8. Due: Next week, Wednesday, November 26
