There is a small piece of business hanging over from the Visual analysis section of the class:
To help in a methodological study of on-line surveys of the kind you have used in class,
please participate in this:
Survey of Perceived Hazards in the Urban Landscape


Final Project Presentation

Wednesday, December 8, 10:30 - 11:50
Approx. 12 mins per group INCLUDING discussion time.
Please prepare so that you can be brief but still good - I suggest using the summary pages from the components of your web-site - no more than 10 PowerPoint slides' worth.


Final Project Format


Wildlife and Plant Habitat Potential 
of Land in Emerson Park

  1. Consider the land-use change you have proposed and investigate the wildlife and plant habitat implications and opportunities.
  2. Use EGRETS/ArcView to identify patches, corridors, matrices, of habitat value.
  3. Use CITYGreen Analysis to indicate the wildlife values of the existing situation and your proposed changes
  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 know about any other open space resources in the region, and any assumptions and guesses based on your own knowledge of the area.  Describe:
    1. how your proposed development might impact wildlife and plant habitat resources through expansion or reduction of areas of native vegetation, development of habitat corridors etc.
  6. Use the WWW to find out about the area through EGRETS and any other means. Think about hunting, hiking/nature study, and other potentials.



  7. On-line Resources



Cultural/Historical Resource Implications 
of Land-use Change in Emerson Park

  1. Consider the land-use change proposed and any plausible cultural historical implications.
  2. Use EGRETS/ArcView to identify sites of cultural/historical value.
  3. 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.
  4. The report should describe:
    1. how your proposed development might negatively impact cultural and historical resources through building activity, flooding etc. or
    2. how the proposal might protect a resource from either being misguidedly destroyed, or from being "loved to death."
