▼ Researchers from many disciplines have
examined neighborhood satisfaction. The research has focused more
on the personal, social, and psychological dimensions than on the
physical environment in relation to neighborhood satisfaction. When
studies include physical characteristics, they tend to look at the
perceived physical characteristics, possibly overlooking the impact
of the physical environmental features on neighborhood
satisfaction. Furthermore, while studies have identified physical
attributes of environments related to “aesthetic” response,
research has not examined the link between physical and judgmental
ratings of those attributes, nor has it looked at the link between
those measures and neighborhood satisfaction.
This dissertation builds a conceptual model that
focuses on the multi-level connections among the physical,
perceptual, and evaluative measures of the neighborhood environment
as determinants of overall neighborhood satisfaction.
It uses on-line survey, on-site observations,
and the combined satellite image processing and GIS spatial
analysis. The survey asks residents to rate their perceptions and
evaluations of the neighborhood environment, and then to rate their
overall neighborhood satisfaction. 382 survey responses were
collected in Franklin County,
Ohio. Observations assess the
conditions of the fixed and semi-fixed physical environmental
elements on 2021 blocks. For observations, this study designed,
used, and tested the neighborhood physical environment inventory
(NPEI) instrument on a handheld Personal Digital Assistant (PDA).
The Normalized Differential Vegetation Index (NDVI) method was
combined with GIS spatial analysis. To assess
both structural and measurement relations in a single model, this
study uses a Structural Regression Model based on the two-step
modeling process. The findings reveal the significant direct and
indirect effects of physical, perceptual, and evaluative measures
on neighborhood satisfaction. The results extend the understanding
of the neighborhood environment and residents´ quality of life.
Methodologically, the study demonstrates advances in data
collection through its on-line survey, on-site observation via a
personal digital assistant (PDA), and GIS.

▼ By decreasing property values, discouraging
private investment, and inviting criminal activities, abandoned
houses contribute to neighborhood decline. Since some neighborhoods
have more abandoned houses than others, dealing with this problem
is important from an equity standpoint. To improve public policy
and planning efforts, this study seeks to better understand why
neighborhoods differ in their probability that a house will be
abandoned. It examines four related questions using data from
Youngstown,
Ohio and Columbus,
Ohio. First, the
study considers what constructs are most salient to understanding
abandonment, and how those constructs relate to the probability
that a house will be abandoned. A factor analysis revealed that
market conditions, gentrification, physical neglect, and
socioeconomic conditions underlie abandonment. A multilevel
regression model showed that three of the four constructs (market
conditions, gentrification, and physical neglect) predict the
probability of abandonment. Second, it asks
whether abandonment exhibits spatial dependence at the neighborhood
level, and if so, whether the regression model can be improved by
taking this relationship into account. A Moran’s I statistic
indicated that abandonment clusters in both cities of interest.
Adding a spatially lagged abandonment variable to the multilevel
regression model showed that the level of abandonment in
surrounding neighborhoods influences the probability of abandonment
in a neighborhood of interest. Third, it examines
how other conditions in surrounding neighborhoods influence the
probability. Adding a spatially lagged version of each factor to
the regression model revealed that physical neglect in surrounding
neighborhoods does not influence the probability of abandonment in
a neighborhood of interest. However, the levels of market
conditions and gentrification in surrounding neighborhoods do
influence the probability. Finally, it considers
whether the variable effects generalize between the two cities of
interest. Adding interaction terms to the multilevel regression
model showed that the effects of neighborhood level abandonment and
gentrification were the same for both cities, while the effects of
market conditions and physical neglect were stronger for Columbus.
All of the lagged variable effects generalize, meaning that the
effect of surrounding neighborhood conditions on the probability of
abandonment is the same for Youngstown as it is for Columbus.
Conclusion: Instead of thinking about housing
abandonment in terms of a large number of variables, policy makers
can conceptualize it as consisting of a smaller number of
constructs. Factor scores, clusters of abandonment, and predicted
probabilities can be mapped to suggest where to invest. The final
regression model provides guidance for how to spend scarce
recourses as well. It suggests that policy makers should enact
strategies that decrease physical neglect in the neighborhood
itself, and increase housing demand both in the neighborhood and…

The Restorative Effects of Livable Spaces.

▼ The present research builds on Whyte’s work on livable
places in by testing: 1) whether or not some of the elements
identified by him would increase the likelihood that people visit
and spend time in a plaza (i.e., increase its livability), and 2)
if those elements, which presumably make a place more livable, also
make it more restorative. The study manipulated the presence and
absence of seats, food, and triangulation (represented by a
sculpture) in three public plazas: Gansvoort Plaza in NYC, NY; The
Piazza at Schmidts in Phildelphia, PA; and Civic Center Park in
Denver CO. To measure livability and restorativeness, the study
developed and tested a livability scale, and adopted and tested a
restorativeness scale from Berto (2005). A total of 120 students
rated photographs of the plazas, 60 (23 men and 37 women) for
livability, and 60 (23 men and 37 women) for restorativeness.
Results confirmed Whyte’s claim that the presence of seats, food or
sculpture improved livability. For seats, however, the presence of
sculpture depressed livability. Likewise, for sculpture, the
presence of seats depressed livability. While Whyte described
livable spaces as ones with a higher ratio of women, the study did
not find evidence of gender differences. For restorativeness, the
results indicated a positive effect of sculpture, but indirect
positive effect of seats and food. Restorativeness was highest with
any two of the three features were present, but lower with the
third feature. As with livability, when seats were present, the
addition of sculpture lowered restorativeness; when sculpture was
present the addition of seats lowered restorativeness; and men and
women did not differ in restorativeness. The findings suggest that
enhancing the livability may also enhance restorativeness, and they
suggest ways to improve the livability and restorativeness of
places with non-natural elements.

▼ From his classic study of the use of plazas
in New York, Whyte (1980, p. 18) observed that males sat in the
“front” while females tend to sit in the “back.” I tested whether
this seating pattern still occurred in 2009, and whether seating
choice related to fear of crime or feelings of vulnerability.
I observed two places: one outdoors, the other
inside. Contrary to Whyte (1980), I found that females were more
likely to sit in the front and males were more likely to sit in the
back. Females reported higher levels of fear and vulnerability, but
this did not relate to seating choice. The
present study is a form of Post Occupancy Evaluation. Further
research should be conducted to test patterns of use and
perceptions of space. Through systematic evaluations of use of
public places, landscape architects can refine and improve future
designs.

▼ Ethnic enclaves are experiencing demographic
and commercial changes, some of which are designed to attract
tourism. This dissertation reports four studies. The first looks at
50 U.S. cities and the prevalence of ethnic enclaves in them. It
finds that these 50 cities have a history of 369 enclaves, of which
nearly two-thirds still exist. It also found that about 120
enclaves out of the 369 total enclaves have formed in those 50
cities in the last half century. These newer enclaves tend to be
associated with immigrants from the Caribbean, Latin America, and
Southeast Asia. Following this study, the dissertation reports on
three case studies of Italian enclaves (The Hill, St. Louis; Little
Italy, Cleveland; Little Italy, Schenectady) with each neighborhood
experiencing a different degree of commodification. This research
looks beyond city-level benefits of branding an ethnic enclave and
instead uses surveys and interviews to consider how individual
residents of these enclaves feel about the changes or potential
changes within their neighborhoods. The survey of
The Hill found that the neighborhood remains a largely traditional
Italian enclave with its Italian-ethnic residential population, but
this population is changing as younger, non-Italian-ethnic
individuals move to the neighborhood. Overall, the residents of The
Hill are open to tourism as a concept, although they are resistant
to specific tourism strategies, such as the development of
Italian-themed condominiums or non-Italian ethnic
restaurants. By and large, residents of these
enclaves are resistant to commercial change that is resulting from
a top-down planning approach. This is especially true in
Cleveland’s Little Italy, where a development agency has been the
main driver of change, as well as in Schenectady’s Little Italy,
where the district was newly created through the actions of the
city and a development agency. The Italian-ethnic respondents in
Cleveland’s Little Italy seem wary of both demographic and
commercial changes to their neighborhood. With Schenectady, survey
respondents are the most negative out of the three cities. They
indicated that they are resistant to the branding of Little Italy
as an ethnic neighborhood and they do not feel that it seems like
an authentic Italian-American neighborhood. This suggests that the
branding of Little Italy in Schenectady may have been unsuccessful.
Through examining residents’ concerns about demographic and
commercial changes, planning professionals can learn the importance
of having community support for branding
efforts.

▼ This dissertation reports on the design,
implementation, and evaluation of an interactive multimedia
information system for environmental design research knowledge
(IMMEDRIS). One of the primary goals of IMMEDRIS is to leverage the
Internet as a channel for accelerating the dissemination and
sharing of environmental design research (EDR) knowledge. To meet
the requirement of the different user groups, a number of
subsystems were designed to facilitate a complex set of views of
EDR information for different contexts and applications. The
prototype of IMMEDRIS as deployed has a tutorial and a decision
aiding subsystem installed as a pilot project and evaluated in
their function supporting the decision making process required by
local government aesthetic-control regulations. Philosophical
discussions and empirical research on the fundamental importance of
categories to both learning and communication provides the
framework for the design of IMMEDRIS. The design of the tutorial
subsystem relies on the idea of visual learning developed in
cognitive science and the notion of ostension explicated by
Wittgenstein. The decision aiding subsystem is predicated on the
notion of judgment as a contingent and contextual practice rather
than as a practice guided by determinately fixed categories. Based
on accounts by Kant and Wittgenstein on the role of examples in
learning concepts and making judgments the decision aiding
subsystem relies on a purely procedural criteria under a standard
of reasonable method. It outlines a decision procedure which relies
on our ability for “empirical classification” and “empirical
predication.” With aesthetic judgment as a paradigmatic example and
the architectural design review function of most local governments
in the United States as case study, the dissertation seeks to
locate the goal of objectivity and the methodology of
quantification of much EDR within a broader normative framework to
give their findings meaning. The project that forms the basis of
this dissertation offers a tool that enables the application of
concepts derived from EDR to problem solving and decision making.
The dissertation evaluated the effectiveness and utility of the
tutorial and decision aiding subsystems of the prototype. It was
evaluated for usability and its effectiveness in improving a
decision making task.

▼ This study sought to discover the kinds of social
behavior among pedestrians in a shopping center parking lot. A
pilot study looked for social behaviors in three shopping center
parking lots. Systematic unobtrusive observation revealed actual
patterns of social behavior among moving and stationary
pedestrians. Typical behaviors were noted and a coding sheet was
developed for the final study at one parking lot. The kinds of
social behavior observed included conversations, talking on cell
phones, and playing. Many planners promote fostering social
behavior in pedestrian environments. Some have argued the best
places to enhance behavior are places where people attempt the
behavior naturally. Planners disagree on whether parking lots
should be promoted as civic spaces, and the question is open
whether pedestrian-oriented site design can foster social behavior
in shopping center parking lots.

Children’s perception of urban waterfronts and their

▼ Urban waterfronts can have important affects
on children’s environmental experiences. Attributes of urban
waterfronts can elicit strong feelings about the significance of
those sites. By looking at this section of cities from children’s
point of view, it becomes possible to derive children’s essential
evaluative and behavioral responses and salient visual attributes.
This can thereby help identify the design features for a planning
practice of urban waterfronts where children are a consideration.
This study aims to explore children’s emotional and behavioral
responses to urban waterfront scenes and visual attributes
consonant with those responses, and examine multiple relationships
between them. Ninety 9 to 11 years-old children
of different school, ethnic, and gender backgrounds participated in
the study. They saw representative color images of urban
waterfronts, ranked based on their preference, and responded to two
sets of questions for the most liked, the second most liked, and
the least liked scenes. I applied the first set of questions from
an anthropological method, the Heuristic Elicitation Methodology
(HEM). HEM suggests developing the constructs from the subjects’
responses in their own language and give equal emphasis to
qualitative and quantitative methods. This set included open-ended
questions.They revealed the frequency of mentions of evaluative and
behavioral responses and salient visual attributes in children’s
own language. The second set included structured questions to which
children answered with a “yes” or “no.” I included these questions
to test the applicability of visual attributes and evaluative
appraisals found relevant to people’s environmental experiences in
previous investigations. The data analysis included five issues: 1)
relationships between derived attributes and appraisals; 2)
relationships between selected attributes and appraisals; 3)
children’s perception; 4) relationships between attributes and
behaviors; and 5) group comparisons. I applied content analysis to
derive the meaningful structures of evaluative appraisals,
behavioral patterns, and visual attributes, and I used various
multivariate analyses to reveal underlying dimensions of perception
and understand the relationships between appraisals, behaviors, and
attributes. The analyses revealed the following
results: 1) ‘people’, ‘visual form’, and ‘nature’ explain
preference, and ‘compatible land-use’, ‘dilapidated nature’, and
‘crowding’ explain dislike for the scenes; 2) Children’s ‘aesthetic
value’ positively relates to the attributes ‘naturalness, order,
and information’, and children’s ‘fear’ positively relates to
‘enclosure’; 3) Children perceive urban waterfront scenes in two
dimensions including man-made/naturalness and compatible
land-use/disorder; 4) Behaviors and attributes involve five
relationships between: a) water-related and nature and man-made, b)
interaction with nature, c) physical and openness, d) social
interaction and people, and e) exploratory and man-made; 5) Few
differences exist…

▼ Mixed-use developments are growing in significance
throughout cities in the United States. Prior studies have focused
on project feasibility, financing, marketing, and management of
mixed-use developments. Consequently, there is limited knowledge of
mixed-use developments and urban design. This thesis presents an
urban design analysis of the Arena District mixed-use development
in Columbus,
Ohio. The analysis investigated the Arena District
Master Plan to determine whether the development is good urban
design. The method of investigation was the Attoe and Logan (1989)
urban catalytic architecture model. The Arena District Master Plan
and its implementation to date were found to transform existing
elements positively; respect existing urban form; understand the
downtown architectural context; consider existing elements in the
planning phase; be strategically planned; and keep the elements of
the development identifiable. These qualities brought about the
conclusion that the Arena District Master Plan is good urban design
and might serve as a good model for future urban mixed-use
development projects.

Resident Attitudes Toward Higher Residential Densities in

▼ In September 1980, the Columbus Energy Council was
appointed by Mayor Moody to compose the Columbus Energy Plan. The
Plan was adopted by City Council in November 1981, with one of its
primary recommendations: to "encourage increased densities in city
development." (Columbus Energy Plan, p. 40). The Columbus
Department of Energy and Telecommunication partially funded this
study in an attempt to explore this recommendation.High density
urban development is not readily accepted by the American public,
yet it has recently become a more popular option because of its
energy-saving and cost-saving opportunities. The results of this
study, mail question¬naire responses from 132 Columbus residents,
verify that people commonly associate high density residential
develop¬ment with potentially negative effects such as crowding.
Negativism toward high density is explained by a societal value:
the desire for privateconveniences,which will not be sacrificed for
public conveniences. Regardless of neg¬ativism, high density
development is growing. The key to its success lies in good design
which can be partially achieved through mixed-use development. A
style of self-contained high density, mixed-use development may
give rise to a rebirth of urban megastructures.

▼ "Water. It is difficult to image another element in
the world that is so central and so vital both to basic life and to
a diverse range of aesthetic and recreational pleasures" (Campbell,
1978).Water is so significant to our life that the way landscape
architects design visual water elements is very important. This
present study tested and documented various responses to visual
images of urban water feature designs.Design theory today connects
feelings such as tranquility, happiness and self-reflection to
different types of water features. These connections are stated
throughout the design literature. “One of the best things about
water is the look and feel of it" (Whyte, 1980). "Moving water is
the greatest source of relaxation" (Hannebaum,1994). "Static, quiet
water is peaceful, relaxing, and mellow in character with a
soothing effect on human emotions. Dynamic water is energetic and
emotionally stimulating" (Booth, 1983). "Cascades and waterfalls
seem to impart more of a sense of excitement and inspiration than
calmer stretch water" (Campbell, 1978).These statements of theory
are broadly accepted. In reviewing the literature for research to
verify these theories, I found few studies that addressed specifics
of howpeople relate to water. Most design literature presents
authors’ reactions to and opinions about water and water forms, but
they offer little scientifically defensible evidence.The hypothesis
of this study is – There are predictable emotional responses to
visual water features classified into two basic types- still water
and moving water. It is predicted that still water evokes tranquil
feelings. Moving water evokes excitement, with the level of
excitement directly connected to the type of moving water
viewed.The study used photographs and surveyed people to evaluate
their emotional responses to images of water features. It tested
those responses across the different images.The results showed
significant difference in the pleasantness, excitements and
peacefulness of the five water features. Respondents judged still
water as the most peaceful and moving water as more exciting than
still water. Flowing water had the lowest scores for pleasantness
and peacefulness. People rated the jet as the most exciting and
still water as the least exciting. The scientific results gave us a
better sense of the human emotions evoked by water features. It
informed us as to the validity of long-held theories of design.
With this information, designers can more confidently apply
appropriate principles for water feature designs in urban
areas.

▼ Landscape architects may try to create spaces that
look interesting and inviting to users. They do this by shaping the
many visual aspects of the materials that make up the space. Color
represents a significant visual element in the landscape. It may
convey emotion, affect perception of size and temperature, whether
the site is inviting, or harsh and repelling. This thesis
investigated human response to color of plant materials in the
landscape. Specifically, the research examined preference for,
emotional appraisals of, and activities associated with warm colors
versus cool colors. A pilot study tested whether pairs of landscape
scenes differed in tone. The study confirmed that the images did
vary as desired. Those images were then used in a second study that
had 101 people evaluate the pairs in color tone for preference,
conveyed emotion, and functions of the scene. As hypothesized, warm
colors were preferred, but only in two of the three landscape
types. Warmer scenes were also deemed more active. Examined by
scene context, warm materials were preferred most in urban scenes
where as cooler colors were preferred (only slightly more) in the
rural scenes. A third ‘on site’ study was conducted to obtain
on-site rating. The study asked people to answer a set of
appraisals based on two garden scenes. It also found that people
responded more favorably to a warm colored landscape than to a cool
one. The findings of this study have the potential to become a
valuable tool in the landscape architects arsenal. Knowing how
color affects the responses and behaviors in landscapes can help
create settings that better accommodate the intended users and
enhance their experience.

▼ Socioeconomic variables did have significant effects
on micro-level variables. Gender had significant effects on the
evaluation of riding a crowded bus and normative belief of the best
friends. Males evaluated riding a crowded bus worse than did
females. Males as compared to females were less likely to believe
that their best friends want them to ride the bus. Number of
working people outside the home affected the subjective norm.
Households with fewer people working outside tended to feel a
marginal pressure to ride the bus whereas households with more
people working outside tended not to feel pressure to ride the bus.
Although the socio-economic variables may not have application to
the full model, they do have value in suggesting promotional
campaign.

▼ Wayfinding is the spatial knowledge about one’s
current location, destination, and the spatial relation between
them. Wayfinding problems threaten people’s sense of well-being,
and cause loss of time and money. Designers and planners can
improve wayfinding when they understand how physical environmental
factors affect people’s wayfinding performance. This study explores
the effect of personal and physical environmental characteristics
on wayfinding performance. The personal characteristics include
gender, age, and familiarity. The physical environmental
characteristics include plan layout complexity, physical
differentiation and its components vertical and horizontal
differentiation. The experiment had eighteen (2 x 3 x 3) simulated
environments, with two plan layouts (complex and simple), three
kinds of vertical differentiation (no differentiation, object
landmarks, and building landmarks) and three kinds of horizontal
differentiation (no differentiation, road width variation, road
pavement variation), and it also had four different question
orders. 166 volunteers (98 male, 68 female) were tested
individually. Participants were randomly assigned to one of the
question orders and to one of the simulated environments with the
constraint that there would be equal number of people in survey
types, in plan layout conditions, in vertical differentiation
conditions, and in horizontal differentiation conditions. The
experiment had a learning phase and a test phase. In the learning
phase, participants actively explored one of the simulated
environments at their leisure up to four minutes. In the test phase
the participants completed three spatial knowledge tasks (a
direction estimation task, a navigation task, and a sketching task)
and a survey which had questions on gender, age, frequency of
playing computer game, realism of the simulated environment
judgement and wayfinding strategies used in the navigation task. As
expected, the Simple layouts, Higher Physical Differentiation,
Vertical or Horizontal differentiation yielded better wayfinding
performance than Complex layouts, Lower Physical differentiation,
and No Vertical or Horizontal differentiation. Males performed
better than Females, and performance improved with
Familiarity.

▼ Using a mixed qualitative approach, and focusing on
the experiences of undergraduates at The
Ohio State University,
three research questions were addressed. First, what
characteristics of individuals, situations and locations influence
individuals’ perceptions of safety? Second, how do perceptions of
safety influence the use of campus spaces? Third, what strategies
do individuals choose to counteract limitations on their use of
space that may be imposed by perceptions of safety? Data were
collected through two methods: the self¬-administered questionnaire
and the semi-structured interview.Many factors influenced
respondents’ perceptions of safety. Adequate lighting and the
presence of others, various campus security measures, and the
supposed isolation of campus from the surrounding city make
students feel safer. Other influential factors included gender,
race or ethnicity, physical confidence, personality, past and
current places of residence, familiarity with campus, previous
threatening experiences, and hearing of others being threatened.
Also, certain places are perceived to be safer than others because
of specific design features, reputation, or both.Perceptions of
personal safety may limit students’ (particularly female students’)
access to campus spaces and, therefore, their access to
certainuniversity facilities and activities. Spatial restrictions
are a violation of students’ rights to space. However, many
respondents displayed a tendency to downplay limitations on their
use of campus space by viewing such limitations as “natural” and
“smart” (especially for women).Whether or not they perceived access
to campus spaces as an issue of spatial rights, students described
strategies they have adopted in response to spatial limitations
imposed by perceptions of safety. Three types of strategies can be
identified: isolation strategies (avoiding certain places or
situations); precautionary strategies (venturing into threatening
spaces but compensating for a perceived lack of safety); and
boldness strategies (feeling unafraid).Three key conclusions have
implications for future research: a complex set of factors
determines individuals’ perception of safety; spatial limitations
can be viewed as an issue of rights; and there are many strategies
for managing fear, including choosing not to be afraid. This
research also has implications for policy-making related to making
people feel safer, and to facilitating their strategic responses to
perceptions of safety.
