▼ Understanding public perceptions allows decision makers to assess public priorities for actions to pursue sustainable infrastructure management. However, since public views change based on new information or events, the cross-sectional sample from previous studies does not account for the temporal dynamics of perceptions. In 2014, Flint, Michigan switched water sources resulting in lead leaching into drinking water and impacts to public health. This study evaluated public perceptions toward water infrastructure providers at two different time periods before (November 2013) and after (June 2016) the Flint Water Crisis, using surveys deployed to residents in 21 US shrinking cities. Two questions of interest from these surveys were statistically modeled to assess the temporal dynamics of public perceptions toward local water providers, specifically: (1) whether individuals trust his/her water provider to make decisions in his/her best interest (Trust) and (2) if individuals want to partake in participatory processes with local utilities (Active). Random parameter binary probit models were the resulting best-fit models, and used to identify demographic (e.g., age, gender, income) and geographic parameters (cities) influencing Trust and Active. A likelihood ratio test was conducted to evaluate the independence of two data sets to determine if the public perceptions have changed from 2013 to 2016, which resulted in a 99% confidence that the perceptions should be modeled separately. Shrinking cities comprise the survey sample, a classification of cities that are typically fiscally constrained, experiences infrastructure underutilization, and to which Flint (the location of the water crisis) belongs. This study illustrates the limitations of cross-sectional surveys regarding infrastructure perception in light of new events or information. Additionally, the statistical modeling found that most geographic parameters had homogeneous impacts (i.e. minimal statistical variability across respondents), while demographic parameters had heterogeneous impacts (i.e. statistically varies across respondents) on Trust and Active. The homogeneous impact of geographic parameters demonstrates the localized significance of utility-customer relationships in shaping perceptions. Advisors/Committee Members: Faust, Kasey M.

▼ Energy for usage in the transportation sector is primarily derived from petroleum products and accounts for 14% (EPA 2017a) of greenhouse gas emissions worldwide and 28% (EPA 2018b) of total emissions in the US. In the US. 60% of these emissions are from light-duty vehicles and passenger vehicles (EPA 2018a). A major push has been made towards alternative fuel vehicles such as electric vehicles (EVs) to mitigate the environmental impact of the transportation sector. This dissertation explores the implications of a growing EV sector by analyzing the employment effects, policy effectiveness, and public perception of EVs. EV adoption stands to affect the overall employment in the automotive sector and allied industries. A typical EV has fewer parts and requires less maintenance than a comparable internal combustion engine (ICE) model. This differential would inevitably change the traditional model of car sales by dealers who also rely on repairs and maintenance revenues. The dissertation uses input-output modeling to examine the implications of growing EVs on employment under different scenarios and cost assumptions. The study finds that while overall employment numbers might not change significantly, the composition of jobs shifts towards more battery production and electricity generation and distribution. The second study in the dissertation examines the effectiveness of different policy choices in increasing EV adoption across states. A supportive policy environment stands to increase EV adoption. In addition to federal-level policies in the US, states have introduced several policies to increase the adoption of EVs by individual consumers and fleets. The study applies econometric analysis to a panel dataset combining EV policies with sales to examine effectiveness and design choices across states. Finally, public perception of EVs must be understood to anticipate whether these vehicles are adopted at a large scale to make an impact on the traditional industry structure. Like any new technology, EV adoption hinges on the current and potential consumers' opinions and acceptance. The dissertation uses survey data and examines the external and internal determinants of public interest in EVs. The study concludes that factors such as political affiliation, environmental efforts of respondents affect their level of interest in EV technology. Advisors/Committee Members: Brown, Marilyn A.

▼ Opinion research in major capitalist democracies has identified one of the key elements of legitimacy of the capitalist economic order in public opinion: popular adherence to the norms and beliefs that justify economic inequality. Popular commitment to those norms and beliefs in a society, scholars have suggested, buttresses the legitimacy of capitalism in Western society. In Korea, however, such favorable norms and beliefs regarding inequality have never been popularly accredited; even when Korea was achieving a respectable capitalist growth with a relatively moderate level of income inequality, unfavorable perceptions and norms of inequality prevailed in public opinion. Given the manifest discrepancy between the general attitudes and beliefs about inequality in Western capitalist countries and those in Korea, this research examined the Korean public’s beliefs about economic inequality from both cross national and domestic perspectives, using data from the 1999 and 2003 ISSP surveys on Social Inequality. From a cross national comparison for which Korea was compared to nineteen OECD nations, the following features of the Korean public’s beliefs about inequality were diagnosed. First, popular beliefs about large income differences in Korea, as contrasted with varying income inequality indices of other OECD countries, were unduly inflated; second, Koreans’ perceived injustice of the income distribution in the society, as measured by the justice gap, was relatively high; and, third, Koreans’ tolerance for unequal, if not unjust, distribution was relatively weak, given the small difference in the justice gap between people who perceived income differences in their society as too large and those who did not. With the evidence of unfavorable public perceptions and norms of inequality in Korea, the two main theoretical frames of social justice study, the ideology thesis and the structural position thesis, were introduced to better understand Koreans’ unfavorable views of income inequality. The key premise of the ideology thesis is that the subjective perception of inequality may have less to do with objective social facts, but more with value systems or ideologies regarding social justice. In this regard, the two most germane distributive justice ideologies, egalitarian (the EDJI) and meritocratic (the MDJI) justice ideologies, were measured across countries. In terms of the strength of the EDJI, popular support for the EDJI was found much higher in Korea than in most other OECD countries. The homogeneity of the EDJI was also relatively high in Korea, indicating the presence of popular consensus on the legitimacy of the EDJI. Interestingly, only in Korea and Spain, the strength of the EDJI exceeded that of the MDJI, which defined the EDJI as the primary and the MDJI as the secondary distributive justice ideologies of Korea. Using a logistic regression, along with a few key socio-demographic factors and the justice gap, the ideological impact of the two distributive norms on Koreans’ perceptions of income inequality was… Advisors/Committee Members: McDermott, Monica (advisor), Liao, Tim F.

▼ Attitudes and beliefs of pet owners strongly influence their decision-making surrounding their pets’ diet. Thus, guidance in nutrition choices is an essential component of clinical practice. Despite the increasing emphasis on changing dietary practices to improve health, graduates of many healthcare programs, including veterinary medicine, do not feel they receive sufficient nutrition education to prepare them to consult on nutrition. As a result, nutrition counselling rates and compliance to nutrition recommendations in medical and veterinary clinics historically and presently remain low. This research had two primary studies. The first study investigated the attitudes of incoming veterinary students of their own nutrition, pet nutrition and importance of nutrition education. The second study explored pet owners’ perceptions towards nutrition information received at veterinary clinics and the extent that their health beliefs influence their intention to comply with medical and veterinary nutrition recommendations. Through a mixed-methods approach, in-depth thematic analysis of qualitative data informed design of two online questionnaire tools, analyzed using descriptive statistics and multivariable modelling. Incoming students reported low accessibility of and low confidence in seeking pet nutrition information. Students relied on and trusted the veterinarian for pet nutrition advice but expressed mistrust of pet food companies’ motivations. Despite considering nutrition education important, students perceived overall low emphasis on nutrition in the veterinary curriculum. Factors positively associated with students’ perceived confidence in their nutrition education included academic self-efficacy (OR=2.20) and presence of board-certified veterinary nutrition faculty (OR=2.43). The determinants of pet owners’ perceived effectiveness of veterinary nutrition recommendations were: education level (OR=3.96), suburban living (OR=1.51), being a cat versus a dog owner (OR=1.75), feeding commercial dry diets (OR=2.16), visiting the veterinarian more than once a year (OR=3.68) and trusting the veterinarian (OR=1.45). In the context of using the Health Belief Model as a theoretical framework, perceived benefits of nutrition guidance and self-efficacy were the strongest predictors of intention to comply with medical and veterinary nutrition recommendations. Outcomes of this research have health promotion and educational implications and shed light on the importance of incoming students’ own perceptions on nutrition and pet owners’ perspectives on nutrition information received from medical and veterinary professionals.

▼ Fewer than 15 years ago, the Australian federal government criminalised the ‘accessing’ or, in lay terms, the online ‘viewing’ of child exploitation material (CEM). National statistics reveal that prosecutions for this offence are a consistent feature of Australia’s criminal justice system. The stereotypical ‘paedophile offender’ is commonly invoked to explain the prevalence of such offending. Yet a growing body of evidence appears to indicate that the online viewing of CEM is a more mainstream activity than suggested by such a stereotype. Of concern in this context, recent Australian studies purport to have found evidence of a ‘disjuncture’ between the perceptions of some members of the community and the criminalisation of this activity. While the evidence is limited, researchers speculate that the criminality of viewing CEM may not be widely appreciated in Australia. To better illuminate and understand this purported disjuncture, this thesis presents original findings from two empirical studies. The first study explores the perceptions of Australian internet users (N=504) towards the online viewing of CEM. This study finds gaps in participants’ knowledge of the law, with significant proportions of participants failing to identify the criminality of viewing prohibited material. This study also reveals gaps in participants’ awareness about the potential for the viewing of CEM to affect victims, other offenders, society and viewers. The second study assesses the value of judicial sentencing remarks (N=57) in educating the Australian community about the criminality of viewing CEM online. This study finds that while remarks represent a primary ongoing opportunity for communication, their value is limited. Even leaving aside practical questions about their dissemination, a significant proportion of the remarks analysed did not contain any normative explanations of why the offender’s behaviour was criminal. This thesis uses two theoretical lenses to consider the implications of these findings for the prevention of onset - the first deliberate viewing of CEM online. Taking the notion of the ‘Opportunistic Offender’ from Situational Crime Prevention theory, this thesis contends that under the current policy settings, Australia is missing an opportunity to reduce the likelihood of onset for some individuals. To underline the significance of this oversight, this thesis uses legal theory to demonstrate that this policy deficiency means that Australia is falling short of its duty to publicise the law, and ensure citizens have fair warning of criminalisation. Informed by these findings, this thesis recommends changes to public policy, legislation and judicial practice.

▼ The United States continues to have one of the highest rates of teenage pregnancy among similar, industrialized nations. One postulated reason for the continued increase is a lack of education on proper condom use and/or a lack of access to condoms. Secondary schools are in a unique position to allow condom availability programs, thus increasing access to condoms in the teenage population. Due to the controversial nature of making condoms available in public schools, superintendents and other policy makers may be hesitant to enact such a program due to perceived backlash from parents and the community as a whole. Thus, the purpose of this research study was to examine superintendents' perceptions of condom availability in district high schools. Surveys were mailed to a stratified random sample of superintendents (n=772) across the US with a final survey response rate of 40.4% (n=297). The majority of responders were male (69%), Caucasian (89%), 50 years of age or older (67%), had a degree other than a Doctorate, and had one to five years of experience. Most identified as politically independent (34%), socially moderate (54%), and non-denominational Christian (33%). Respondents came from districts that were located in the Midwest (27%), deemed medium in size (36%), and located in a town (31%).The most commonly reported moderate or major barriers to condom availability in schools were community opposition (88%), lack of parental support (86%), undesirable media attention (81%), and lack of school board support (81%). The most commonly reported moderate or major benefits to making condoms available were potential decreased teen pregnancy rates in the district (55%), decreased STD rates in the district (53%), and increased health of students (51%). Both barriers and benefits differed significantly by superintendent and district demographics. Barriers differed by the following: geographic location, political affiliation, political orientation, and race/ethnicity of the superintendent. Benefits differed by the following: size of the district, political orientation, and perceived school support for prevention of HIV/AIDS, STDS, and teen pregnancy. In terms of condom beliefs, negative beliefs predicted 24% of the variance in perceived barriers while both positive and negative beliefs predicted 16% of the variance in perceived benefits. Notably, respondents who opposed condom availability perceived STDs and HIV/AIDS to be less significant problems than those who did not oppose condom availability. Superintendents who perceived the school to play less of a significant role in prevention opposed condom availability more so than those who perceived the school to play a larger role in prevention. These results show the need for more education and awareness as it relates to superintendents' perceptions of condom availability. Since positive and negative condom beliefs were found to be significant predictors of both benefits and barriers, addressing these beliefs may prove to be beneficial in addressing overall barriers and… Advisors/Committee Members: Dake, Joseph (Committee Chair).

▼ This research focuses on two main questions: how do people perceive climate change at the local scale, and how do local climate conditions relate to beliefs about global warming? To investigate these questions, the research conducts three studies of data from representative national and cross-national surveys in combination with local climate data. An additional outcome of the research is a novel methodology for character-izing spatial climate data within political units that accounts for the uneven spatial distribution of population. The first study examines perceptions of local temperature change using nationally representative survey data from 89 countries. The second study explores perceptions of seasonal temperature and precipitation in a representative sample of U.S. residents. The third study analyzes beliefs about global warming among repre-sentative samples of residents of 27 European Union member states. The results of these studies provide new evidence that individuals are capable of perceiving local climate change over time, as represented by changes in average temperature and precipitation. In addition, the research provides evidence that cognitive biases are likely to influence both local and global climate change perceptions. These biases include relying too heavily on recent information (recency) and making intuitive judgments based on easily accessible pre-existing beliefs (motivated reasoning and attribute substitution). The main findings of this research show that public perceptions are responding to changes in local climate consistent with global warming. Global warming will increasingly expose human popula-tions around the world to extreme weather events that fall outside the range of recent experience, and this research suggests that the public is likely to become more engaged with the issue as they continue to experience the evidence of a warming climate.

▼ The Ghana Police Service (GPS) relies to a large extent on human labour. Motivation is critical in service delivery in the area of protection of lives and property, maintenance of law and order, as well as public safety and internal security. This study, therefore, adopted the needs-based theory in examining the perceptions of personnel salary, training, promotion and fringe benefits as a set of motivational tools. In addition, study assesses the perceptions of personnel of managerial and workplace conditions, supervision and interpersonal relationships, workload and participation in decision-making. It also examines ways by which the personnel of the GPS can be effectively motivated to enhance performance. The study employed both qualitative and quantitative methods of data collection, where publications, journals, personal interviews and other literally work were used. The systematic sampling technique was used to select personnel; data were collected by use of self-administered structured and semi-structured questionnaires. Findings of the study revealed that, although the personnel of the GPS considered all the variables presented to them as sources of motivation, not all of these variables were perceived as motivating. Among the nine motivational tools, only fringe benefits, workplace conditions, and supervision and interpersonal relationships were perceived as motivating by the personnel. There rest, including the salary levels and participation in decision-making did not motivate personnel. Some motivational tools which could motivate personnel were not in the notice of management. In conclusion, the study recommends that the management of the GPS should review the motivational strategies in the Service. This is because the elements of motivation in the Ghana Police Service contribute immensely to the performance of the personnel. Second, management of the GPS should include the personnel in the review of the motivational tools. This will enhance the decision-making process of the Service which the respondents considered non-participatory.

▼ Transforming car-oriented streets into functional public spaces and pedestrianised environments have typically been undervalued in conventional transportation, planning, and health literature. Yet urban regeneration initiatives have the potential to create environments that support active transport (e.g., walking and cycling), social interaction, and economic development. There is very little evidence-based research, however, around pedestrianisation. Few international studies have examined the association between pedestrianisation with health, social and economic outcomes from a stakeholder perspective, and there was a dearth of evidence in the New Zealand context. Limited knowledge also existed regarding the similarities and differences in attitudes toward pedestrianisation for key stakeholders, and how this impacted on the urban planning process. As such, the aims of this thesis were to determine: 1) who the users were, how they travelled, and how much money they spent in the Takapuna shopping precinct; 2) how the spending habits and travel behaviours of adult shoppers may be influenced by pedestrianisation in Takapuna’s shopping precinct; and 3) the shopper, retailer, and local government attitudes and behaviours toward pedestrianisation in Takapuna’s shopping precinct. A comprehensive literature review formed the theoretical framework for the following two research chapters (Study 1 and 2), where data was gathered from face-to-face surveys and semi-structured interviews using adults drawn from the Takapuna shopping precinct. In Study 1, a total of 325 shoppers and 62 retailers participated in a cross-sectional survey between May and June 2009. The majority of shoppers accessed the shopping precinct by motorised transport (65.8%). The main finding of this study is although median spend per trip was similar for shoppers across all transport modes ($20.00 per trip), those who actively transported to the shopping precinct visited the area more frequently than shoppers who travelled by automobile (median 12 versus 6 trips per month, respectively; p-value = 0.032). This resulted in shoppers using active transport modes spending more money in total than shoppers who travelled to the precinct by motorised transport. Shoppers reported a more negative perception of the shopping precinct when compared with retailers’ perceptions. Retailers’ perceptions of shopper mode of transport to the area, perceptions of traffic flow, and pedestrian access were similar to those reported by shoppers. Subsequent changes to the urban environment that support the increased use of active transport modes may enhance economic development through increased purchasing frequency and provide public health benefits through greater accumulation of physical activity. Study 2 investigated the perceived benefits of pedestrianising the shopping precinct in Takapuna, Auckland with key stakeholders. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with nine stakeholders drawn from three groups: shoppers, retailers, and local government. Shoppers and retailers… Advisors/Committee Members: Badland, Hannah (advisor), Schofield, Grant (advisor).

▼ HIV and TB are major problems in the South African context and the burden of these diseases is proving detrimental to the development of the country. These diseases have been evident in the country for many years and in recent times the infection rates of TB and HIV has been alarming. The World Health Organization (WHO) classified TB as a problem and the world was to actively implement strategies to combat this epidemic. The issue with TB control strategies is the emergence of HIV which has been the largest contributing factor to the increase in the TB burden in South Africa and many countries like it. South Africa has made great strides in the control of HIV in areas such as mother to child transmission, awareness programs, initiation of ARVs and medical male circumcision which have proven to be successful. In contrast, the TB burden does not share the same fate. The number of deaths caused by TB is continuously rising, as well as the number of new Multi-drug resistant TB cases. Furthermore the emergence of Extreme –drug resistant TB is seen as a sign of a failing health system. Policy makers are now faced with fact that the Directly Observed Therapy Short course (DOTS) program for the prevention of TB is inadequate in an area with a high HIV prevalence, which is what South Africa is faced with. The research objectives are therefore to identify if knowledge from South African TB policies are being disseminated to people who suffer from TB, also to measure if a lack of knowledge may have an impact on treatment success. A policy analysis was done of 5 South African TB policies to identify areas of the policies which are patient specific. The TB policies emphasized a patient-centred approach and the researcher used this concept to motivate that patient-specific areas must be known by the patients. The specific areas identified were: TB specific areas, Treatment specific areas, Adherence specific areas and information/education specific areas. Based on the policy analysis a case study was conducted at Brooklyn Chest Hospital to measure implementation of the policies on the ground. The study found that education was adequate in areas around TB diagnosis, treatment length, signs and symptoms, and family education. The participants lacked knowledge in areas such as TB contacts, monitoring of TB disease, education of TB prior to diagnosis and a high prevalence of non-adherence and multiple cases of TB were found among the participants. Also, the Chi-Square test found no statistical significance between the length of admission to hospital and treatment outcome. The result also shows that of the participants studied, over 30% of the study had not adhered to TB treatment after discharge. The study finds that there are significant shortfalls in the knowledge of participants based on South African TB policies, with a high non-adherence rate before and after discharge. The study shows a lack in the implementation of policy directives on education, following a patient-centred approach, which is evident in the lack of… Advisors/Committee Members: Williams, John J (advisor).

▼ Understanding the multiple drivers of environmental change is essential for devising strategies for overcoming impacts and planning for the future. Anthropogenic causes and physical impacts of such environmental changes are not fixed in space; thus, it is necessary to conduct international research to solve such problems by integrating multiple disciplinary approaches. My dissertation research examines the public perceptions of socioecological impacts of oil palm production and uncovers barriers that international, interdisciplinary teams face when studying such impacts. In one chapter, I present research that identifies challenges that interdisciplinary researchers are confronted with when working in an international setting. Findings show five major barriers to conducting interdisciplinary, international research in Argentina, Brazil and Mexico: integration; language; fieldwork logistics; personnel and relationships; and time commitment. The types of barriers and the strategies for addressing them differ from country to country and between disciplines. I recommend strategies for preventing or overcoming each barrier based on our experiences and those found in the literature. In another chapter, I present public perceptions of the social, economic and environmental impacts of oil palm development in Tabasco, Mexico. Perceived impacts of future oil palm expansion are positively associated with attitudes toward support for current oil palm plantations, attitudes toward the oil palm’s provisioning of environmental services, as well as oil palm production used to produce biofuels for export. The last chapter, in which I present research relating to political ecology of environmental change in Tabasco, Mexico, shows that past political and economic action impacts current environmental conditions and creates institutional and structural constraints in the region to which people are adapting. Rural community members’ adaptive capacity is determined by the resources communities have available to them, landscape features, as well as geographical location.

▼ Informal public transport (IPT) has emerged as an adaptive alternative to formal public transport in developing countries. The informal public transport service has both positive and negative impacts on the wellbeing of urban dwellers. As such, there are varying discourses on whether IPT should be considered an urban resource or a problem. The impact of urban growth in terms of population increase and urban spatial sprawl creates public transport challenges in developing countries. It is against this backdrop that this study explored the perceptions of informal public transport stakeholders on the quality of service (QoS) experienced in the City of Ibadan, Nigeria. A pragmatist philosophical approach is adopted in this study in order to explore the stakeholders' perceptions of the QoS of IPT in Ibadan. A convergent mixed methods research design was employed to explore the set objectives seeking to understand how the impact of urban growth in Ibadan has developed a demand for public transport, more so against the backdrop of the diminished public investment in transport services and infrastructure. The study seeks to identify and explore stakeholders' perceptions on the established IPT in Ibadan. The study developed a multi-criteria evaluation model to explore and analyse such perceptions on QoS on identified three Local Government Authorities (LGAs) in Ibadan. The identified issues are discussed using culture sensitisation of governance in the context of Ibadan and reflecting such perceptions against the ideals for individuals and public. Findings from the study reveal mixed stakeholders' perceptions. The descriptive analysis and narratives of the stakeholders reveal that some of the criteria are positively perceived. The application of the Kruskal Wallis Analysis for variability across the three studied local authorities reveal that there is insignificant influence of the socioeconomic characteristics of the users on perceptions of IPT. However, an analysis of individual criteria established in the multi-criteria evaluation model reveals a low users' perceptions of the QoS provided by IPT users. The study concludes that the positive perceptions attributed by users of the IPT, despite its otherwise poor QoS, is explained by the fact that the use of IPT in Ibadan is not out of public choice but a necessity given that there is no other alternative mode of public transport. Consequently, the study concludes that perceptions of informal public transport relate to the impact on individuals and public wellbeing. This is alternative thought from discourses that perceive urban growth in terms of population growth and physical spatial sprawl to the shift towards explaining the impact of urban growth and need for transport in terms of public wellbeing. Following on to this, the study draws a recommendation for a transport policy and practice developed from the nexus of the regulatory state, the informal transport sector and the users of informal transport driven by the view that informal transport is a key contributor to…

▼ Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis (MAP) causes Johne’s disease (JD) resulting in significant economic losses to the livestock industries. MAP has also been shown to be associated with Crohn’s disease in humans. This thesis aimed to understand veterinarians’ perceptions regarding this association; to develop methods for detection of MAP in powdered infant formula (PIF) and tissue samples to prevent exposure to humans and to improve the current abattoir surveillance program; and to investigate the efficacy of disinfectants against MAP. The overall purpose of the research was to increase the preparedness of the livestock industries for addressing public health concerns about MAP infection. A survey was conducted among Australian livestock veterinarians. Although only about a third of the respondents considered MAP as a potential zoonotic agent, more than two-thirds agreed with the adoption of the precautionary principle against JD. The high throughput Johne’s direct qPCR test was adapted to develop novel qPCR tests for detecting MAP in PIF and tissue samples. The milk qPCR test detected MAP DNA in 4 of 122 PIF samples. The tissue qPCR test successfully confirmed MAP infection in all of the animals showing clinical signs (25/25) and almost all showing gross lesions on post-mortem (37/38) and was found to be better than culture and histopathology when tests result of both intestine and mesenteric lymph nodes were used. It could be validated for use in abattoir surveillance. Almost all of the commonly used disinfectants were found to be bactericidal against MAP under laboratory conditions but in the presence of organic matter 4% phenol was only effective against MAP suggesting that a review of decontamination protocols is required. The new knowledge and technology generated in this thesis would enable animal health authorities and the livestock industries in making informed decisions to control JD and improve their preparedness to tackle future challenges.

▼ Invasive species are a major threat to global biodiversity, resulting in a need to understand characteristics that cause a species to be invasive and increasing pressure to control or eradicate invasive species in order to mitigate their impacts. Cryptocoryne beckettii, native to Sri Lanka, has been introduced to the U.S. and is known to occur in freshwater ecosystems in Florida and Texas. Cryptocoryne beckettii, a relatively new introduction, is listed as invasive by the USDA. New introductions should be carefully studied to determine their potential to invade habitats, and, should they prove to be invasive, determine whether or not the public will support management efforts. My study objectives were to: 1) determine ability of C. beckettii to reproduce asexually; 2) determine environmental factors influencing vegetative growth in C. beckettii; 3) determine community awareness, perceptions, and attitudes towards invasive species and their control in the San Marcos River; and, 4) determine effectiveness of dredging to control C. beckettii in the San Marcos River. I found that C. beckettii is capable of vegetative reproduction, with 24-34% of rhizome segments producing plantlets over a 12-week period. While significantly more plantlets were produced at a cooler temperature, plantlets were also produced at both moderate and warm temperatures demonstrating tolerance for a range of temperatures. To assess public awareness of invasive species, I administered a survey instrument and found that the public’s overall awareness of invasives in the San Marcos River was moderate. There was a high level of support for control and eradication programs, mainly among men. Proposed management methods influenced levels of support and projects involving chemical controls or animal death were least supported. Advisors/Committee Members: Williamson, Paula S.

▼ Overall, this dissertation examines a sequence of important interconnected issues: the perspectives of potential and actual CCS host communities, the perspectives of the environmental community on the rationality of CCS as viable mitigation solution for the United States, and strategies for engaging with the public on CCS. Much of the research in this dissertation is original work addressing major interdisciplinary gaps in existing literature as well as in industry and government public engagement practice. Each of the chapters is a stand-alone paper that provides a unique contribution to a series of different types of carbon management technologies and academic disciplines. They are assembled together to provide a unique integrated evaluation of these related problems. Collectively, these chapters capture some of the major challenges facing mitigation technology engagement from the potentially time consuming need for careful social site characterization to the opportunities for using citizen-guided marketing methods to identify factors that may enhance effective public engagement. Chapters 2 and 3 are essays on the perspectives of potential and actual CCS host communities. Chapter 2 finds that host communities in California's Central Valley are more concerned with the social risks of hosting a CCS project (e.g. fear of neglect should something go wrong) rather than with the technical risks of the technology. Chapter 3 finds that host communities across the US are more concerned with social risks, and want a say in how those risks should be mitigated. This Chapter concludes with a discussion of how a `social site characterization' conducted along side a traditional site characterization when evaluating the potential for a CCS project may be a good way to both encourage positive relationships with community members and mitigate potential concerns.Chapter 4 is an essay on the perspectives of the environmental community towards the potential of CCS as a viable mitigation solution in the US. This Chapter shows that environmental non-governmental organizations' position on CCS falls into one of four camps who believe: CCS should be developed and deployed in the near-term (Enthusiasts), CCS should be studied (Prudents), CCS will likely need to be deployed but only as a last resort (Reluctants), and CCS should not be deployed (Opponents). This Chapter finds that only Enthusiasts plan on educating the public about the technology in the near-term, however their ability to influence the public may be limited because they are more adept at targeting policymakers (not as experienced with the public) and receive much of their funding from industry (not seen as particularly trustworthy).In this dissertation, Chapter 5 is an essay on using citizen-guided emotional messages about CCS as a way to effectively communicate with the energy veteran public. This Chapter finds that Wyoming citizens believe information about CCS presented within an emotionally self-referent framework is likely to be a more persuasive way to garner…

▼ This thesis examines the perceptions of some of the key influencers of the practice of Public Relations in New Zealand. These influencers were chosen on the basis of their ability to influence the employment, status, and public opinion of Public Relations. They included senior business managers, media editors, and tertiary educators. The study differentiates categories of perceptions within these groups and examines the reasons for these differences. It tests levels of negativity, especially in media representation. It examines various definitions of public relations, the roles and functions assigned to the practice and arguments over its legitimacy. As the study progresses it unveils an approach to public relations that provides significant insights for Western practice and the scope and limitations of the dominant definition of the field. The study began with a Symbolic Interactionist theoretical framework (Blumer, 1969) and then drew on concepts from Pierre Bourdieu (1990, 1991, 2000) to examine the factors shaping perceptions of Public Relations. As the study progressed it drew on hermeneutic examination of context and text, heuristic inquiry as the researcher reflected on his discoveries and ethnographic insights into New Zealand Māori approaches to Public Relations. Public Relations is a much maligned practice (Callison, 2004; Tilley, 2005; Coombs & Holladay, 2007). Public Relations practitioners and academics have sought to defend the practice by arguing that it is a profession with a growing body of knowledge. Various strategies have been offered to bolster its credibility, such as advocacy of excellent practice (Grunig, 1992), rebranding (van Ruler, Verčič, Bütschi & Flodin, 2004) and practitioner registration (Sha, 2011). These arguments assume that Public Relations is in fact a profession and that it can and should advocate its professional standing and integrity to key opinion leaders such as senior managers (White & Mazur, 1995; Murphy, 2003). Descriptions of New Zealand Public Relations practice have relied largely on the views of practitioners. There has been limited research on perceptions of key consumers of Public Relations in New Zealand. This study fills a gap in the body of knowledge in terms of New Zealand Public Relations and analyses the contention that Public Relations is a profession. The key research question was, “What are the perceptions of Public Relations in New Zealand?” Flowing from that core question was a secondary question, “What are these perceptions based on?” This study drew data from eighty-six interviews and 181 surveys. Data was triangulated by way of content analysis of 54 media articles, including business literature, and 33 text books, and a phone survey of the top 100 businesses in New Zealand. The data was analysed using a layered categorisation process cross-checked with other researchers, practitioners, cultural experts and with the participants themselves and then examined using Bourdieu’s concepts of field, habitus, trajectory, symbolic capital and… Advisors/Committee Members: King, Barry (advisor), Chile, Love (advisor).
