Neighborhood context and well-being: how much does neighborhood really matter?.

▼ Although the link between
neighborhood contexts and individual well-being is robust, little is known about how individual characteristics affect the way in which people respond to
neighborhood conditions. In addressing this issue, this dissertation assessed whether prior
neighborhood studies can be replicated using a sample of adult African American females and the possible gendered and temporal nature of street code adoption. Additionally, I addressed why there is so much heterogeneity in the behavior of individuals residing in the same
neighborhood. Concerning non-criminogenic outcomes, I analyzed how
neighborhood effects influence physical health?
Using a sample of adult females, I found that the impact of
neighborhood disadvantage on antisocial behavior was mediated by social ties. Further, the effects of
neighborhood disadvantage and social ties on antisocial behavior were moderated by genes. Examination of these moderating effects provided support for the differential susceptibility model of G×E. Finally, the effect of G×
neighborhood disadvantage on antisocial behavior was explained by the effect of G×social ties. These findings provide strong support for an expanded view of social disorganization theory.
Beyond criminogenic outcomes, health outcomes are essential for understanding the holistic impact of
neighborhood contexts on individuals. The findings of this dissertation showed that women who live in disorderly neighborhoods were more likely to report poor health status and to have elevated inflammatory responses. Furthermore, the relationship between
neighborhood disorder and self-reported health was mediated by the inflammatory burden as a signal of physiological distress. More importantly, effects of
neighborhood disorder on the inflammatory responses and health were not uniform but were most pronounced among unmarried women carrying the minor allele of the IL-6r gene.
Finally, while a handful of existing studies support Anderson’s street code thesis, few studies have considered the dynamic nature of street code. I found that adopting the street code is a dynamic process rather than a fixed and stable trait. Moreover, my results demonstrated that the change in adoption of street code over time can be explained by change in socially demoralizing environments. The results support that adherence to code values can be switched over time in accordance with social environmental change.

▼ The purpose of this research is to examine the contextual influences on a youth’s decision to drop out of high school based on characteristics of place and family. I hypothesized that features of the built and social environments, i.e. aspects within neighborhoods and among family members, would distinguish individual academic outcomes. The research consisted of two studies. Each study examined youth who took part in the Healthy Teens Longitudinal Study, a CDC-funded study (2002-2009) which sought to increase understanding of risk and protective factors that influence trajectories of problem behaviors from middle to high school. The sample for Study One consisted of approximately 600 randomly selected Healthy Teens participants; the sample for Study Two consisted of 176 Healthy Teens participants at high risk for aggression, and their parents or caretakers. Study One provided some support for the hypothesis by finding higher
neighborhood disadvantage and structural disrepair in neighborhoods of dropouts. The findings from Study Two were more ambiguous. The influence of a family’s social processes over time, as measured through family social capital, distinguished the value youth placed on academic achievement but did not improve grades or decrease the likelihood that they would drop out of high school. The studies used multiple methods (observations, surveys, and GIS) and sources of data (census, geocoded addresses, youth, parents, and archival) to draw inferences. In future, a mixed-methods approach using qualitative reports of youth, parents, and residents could elucidate the processes of how they relate to their
neighborhood and social environments in ways that would affect a youth’s academic outcomes.

▼ This thesis presents the phenomenon of communal habitation – from a traditional scene to a contemporary vista – in terms of a historical progression. It exhibits a hypothesis that attempts to justify the reason behind the deterioration of identity, livability and of neighborliness in contemporary neighborhoods. Although this thesis, in accordance with some contemporary community planning theories, pronounces the relevancy and importance of physical as well as social planning, it articulates, in line with annals of contemporary urban history, their incompetency to constitute the virtues of a good living place. In other words, urbanization, according to this thesis, is neither a mere physical pattern exhibited by fellow architects and planners, nor a sole social model manifested by some social reformers. Rather, it is a communal art the beauty of which is adorned by dwellers' goodwill and their spirit – a spirit that consequentially achieves a pleasing physical milieu, and attains a pleasant social environment.

Diverging Paths: The Determinants of Neighborhood Change

▼ The principal research question is “Why do
some neighborhoods in U.S. urban areas stay economically healthy
and others do not?” This study proposes three hypotheses on
diverging paths of
neighborhood change: first,
neighborhood change
is produced by interactions of factors at the metropolitan,
municipal, and
neighborhood scales; second, “the politics of
scale”—city size and the homogeneity level of household interests
in a municipality—is an important factor leading to different paths
and outcomes of
neighborhood change; and third, factors of
neighborhood change have altered over time. The
primary data set used in this study is the
Neighborhood Change Data
Base by GeoLytics that includes the decennial census data across
the country from 1970 to 2000 at the census tract level. This study
examines the proposed hypotheses with a random sample of 35
metropolitan areas and analyzes the data set using multilevel
modeling. Using per capita income and average housing value in
neighborhoods, this study develops an index of
neighborhood
economic condition and uses the change of this index as the
dependent variable in the empirical analyses. The explanatory
variables included in the model are based on the theories on
neighborhood change and the comprehensive model of
neighborhood
change proposed in this study. This study finds
clear evidence to support the proposed hypotheses. First,
neighborhood change is produced by interactions of factors at the
metropolitan, municipal, and
neighborhood scales. Secondly, the
politics of scale matters in
neighborhood change in that
neighborhoods are more likely improve economically in smaller and
more homogeneous cities. Finally, factors affecting
neighborhood
change have altered over time. Based on the
findings, this study suggests that it is essential to take
metropolitan, municipal, and
neighborhood contexts into account
together in setting public policies for community development. With
regard to the politics of scale, larger and more heterogeneous
cities should learn from smaller and more homogeneous cities by,
for example, working to increase community interaction, which is
positively related to city growth. Finally, because the factors
associated with
neighborhood change were different in different
time periods, local governments should plan in preparation for
housing market change. By taking the municipal
and metropolitan contexts as well as the
neighborhood context into
account, this study helps improve our understanding of diverging
paths and determinants of
neighborhood change. If we know why
neighborhoods undergoing changes move in different directions and
how the influences of
neighborhood change have altered over time,
we can do a better job of designing policies to ameliorate
different conditions. In a more theoretical vein, this study
contributes to the literature by providing a comprehensive model of
neighborhood change over space and time.

▼ Often people have a desire to improve their communities through various community change initiatives, but lack the experience or aptitude for success. Community leadership institutes offer training and hands-on experience alongside community change initiatives. This case study details an action research (AR) project that involved a grassroots
neighborhood leadership alumni association in the Southeastern United States.
The purpose of the study was to investigate how a community leadership group learns to plan and take action on community problems. The study was guided by four research questions, which were: (1) What types of learning are taking place with the alumni as they make efforts to solve problems in the community? (2) What are the alumni learning through their leadership efforts in the community? (3) To what extent are the alumni operating as a community of practice (CoP)? and (4) In what ways did the relative power of the researcher and the community stakeholders influence this AR project? Qualitative research methods were employed over a period of seventeen months, in the form of thirteen semi-structured interviews and four observations of leadership training.
The findings indicate strong elements of experiential learning, formal training, past experience, and social learning. The alumni showed moderate indications of behaving as a community of practice (CoP). Eleven interventions consisted of short term strategic positioning goals, medium range goals aimed at developing operational and tactical strategies, and a long term goal of regular organizational assessments. Although an unexpected dissolution of the alumni association’s relationship with the institute slowed progress, the result of the AR case is a community leadership alumni association poised to move forward as a CoP despite disruptive change.
There are four conclusions of the case, which are (1) Learning takes place as a rhizomatic network of learning types including but not limited to experiential learning, formal training, past experience, and social learning, (2) Through community leadership, adults learn functional skills, relationship skills, and gain personal insights, (3) Disruptive change can impact a COP’s definition of community, purview, and organizational practices, and (4) The entwined relationship between actions and power defined the AR process.

▼ The regulatory tools of historic preservation have evolved since the landmark National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, and local governments are enacting more flexible measures to preserve the built environment and character in neighborhoods that are not yet “historic.” Many local governments and communities have adopted and modified the key regulatory techniques of historic preservation to establish
neighborhood conservation districts. While
neighborhood conservation districts pose some serious questions related to the values and goals of historic preservation, a case study of three
neighborhood conservation district programs shows that they are an effective tool for moderating growth and protecting community character in older neighborhoods.

▼ This research develops a set of design criteria to direct the
enhancement of residential proximity, retail convenience and
urban amenity within neighbourhood centres.
Neighbourhood centres are an important part of a city's
infrastructure. They can provide service amenities for
local residents, foster social interaction, create economic
platforms for smaller businesses, provide nearby places of
work and contribute to the local identity of their surrounding
neighbourhoods. Neighbourhood centres create layers of
intensity within our suburban fabric.
Traditionally, neighbourhood centres served their local
market catchment. Today, by contrast, there are many retail
alternatives easily accessible to our mobile society. In New
Zealand, these centres are often located in low density suburbs;
if they are to maintain a level of patronage, they must compete
to hold their local customers.
In this study, three aspects of the retail experience –
proximity, convenience and urban amenity – were identified
as fundamental considerations in the selection of a retail
environment. A literature survey was carried out to create an
initial set of design criteria which outline the key priorities
for these three research themes. Comparative analysis of three
neighbourhood centres in Christchurch, and detailed analysis
of one of these centres, informed a number of subsequent
refinements to these criteria, making them more specific to
the residential, retail convenience and urban characteristics
of these centres. The Christchurch centre of Woolston was
chosen as the site for a design case study, where the amended
set of criteria directed the design of both a master plan and an
individual building.
Finally, the design outcomes were used to formulate a number
of strategies which can be used to retrofit other centres,
responding to their existing built fabric and suburban
structure. These strategies include parking lanes, central
orientation spaces, anchor structures, secondary streets and
retail zones. These strategies ensure that neighbourhood
centres can provide both residential proximity and retail
convenience in such a way that enhances their urban amenity.
Ultimately, this research provides strategies to develop
neighbourhood centres as distinct, convenient and enjoyable
places to work, live and visit.

▼ This study seeks to find empirical evidences whether or not
neighborhood and context designs influence
neighborhood turnover in Austin, Texas, using multilevel linear modeling. The study originated from the notion that neighborhoods are a multilevel phenomenon comprised of different sizes. In this study, ?neighborhoods? and ?contexts? are theoretically and operationally defined by scale. Neighborhoods represent residential neighborhoods, while contexts are larger neighborhoods that may include several residential neighborhoods, which are often called institutional neighborhoods. For the operation, subdivisions were employed to characterize neighborhoods and census tracts for contexts. Further, this study also tries to identify the independent roles and magnitudes of
neighborhood design elements into structural (i.e., density, land use, housing mix, and street patterns) and ecological design components (i.e., nature, open space, and landscape patterns) in both neighborhoods and contexts. Using five years of deed data,
neighborhood turnover was measured by the average change in ownership of single-family homes.
This study found that even though preferences are determined by multiple conditions,
neighborhood and context designs do have an influence on residents? location decisions. Neighborhoods have a greater impact than contexts, but the influence of contexts also plays unique roles in
neighborhood turnover. The study also found that the specific combinations of
neighborhood and context designs can increase or decrease
neighborhood turnover. Another distinctive finding of this study was that the same design principles could be perceived as desirable or undesirable depending on the spatial scales. For example, density is a critical element in explaining
neighborhood turnover, but the trends contrast. Low-density is preferable in neighborhoods, but is not desirable in contexts. Further, the importance of structural and ecological features appears different. Structural components are the most significant in neighborhoods and contexts, while a set of ecological features shows a significant role only in neighborhoods. In summary, people are not willing to sacrifice their typical suburban-style neighborhoods, but they are more likely to stay homes in contexts that allow them various functions and services as current planning guides pursue.
The findings urge planners to address more scale sensitive design principles and find fundamental reasons for the two different ends of residents? preferences in different scales of neighborhoods.

▼ The planning, management and administration of public schools in the United States has been largely ignored by professional planners. School siting issues rarely involve an urban planner’s perspective. In recent years there has been an increase in community participation in planning issues and planners have come to realize that people have valuable perspectives concerning issues of community design. Planners are beginning to take note of what has long been portrayed by environmental psychologists: people’s attachment to place is important to their engagement in their community. The complexity of community planning is such that the planners need to draw upon various fields to create a holistic approach to planning and development. Manzo and Perkins (2006) developed a framework for community planning and development at various scales based upon multiple environmental domains . In large part, this framework is based on place-based relationships.
Paxson Elementary School is located in Missoula, Montana. During the 1991-1992 school year, the school was completely torn down and rebuilt. The school is the closest elementary school to the University of Montana and serves approximately 350 children in kindergarten through the fifth grade. The rebuilding of Paxson School was a neighborhood driven effort in that residents really pushed for the district to keep the school in their neighborhood.
This qualitative study investigates the perceived value of this school to its neighborhood. In-depth interviews with twelve neighborhood residents, including parents of students enrolled at the school during the period of the rebuild as well as other involved residents, were used to uncover the story of Paxson School. Through content analysis, it became clear that the school was valued highly by neighborhood residents and represented an important part of their sense of neighborhood identity. An additional six interviews, conducted with school officials, provided additional insight into the value of the school to this particular neighborhood. Paxson School was valued not only by the parents in the area, but it was valued by neighborhood residents as well. An additional six interviews, with newer neighborhood residents, support the claim that the school is still valued by the neighborhood.

▼ This dissertation investigates the role of two federal place-based programs, the New Markets Tax Credit (NMTC) and Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC), as tools for revitalizing distressed communities. The first empirical chapter organizes low-income, high-poverty metropolitan census tracts into a typology based on their demographic, class status, built environment, and location characteristics in 2000. Principal components analysis uncovered three prominent
neighborhood dimensions: class status, urbanization, and black socioeconomic isolation. These dimensions were entered into a cluster analysis, which identified ten distinct types of poor metropolitan neighborhoods. NMTC investment, LIHTC investment, and socioeconomic ascent were highly correlated across
neighborhood types. This finding supports an assumption made in previous studies that developers, who play an important role in determining where subsidized projects are located, are motivated to seek out areas primed to undergo socioeconomic ascent. The
neighborhood dimension describing the degree of urbanization was only baseline variable consistently related to both sources of place-based investment and future socioeconomic ascent, suggesting that developer preferences are informed by observable urbanization-related factors. These findings were then applied to the development of a model for estimating the effects of place-based investment on a neighborhood’s socioeconomic trajectory. I use a variation of propensity score matching allowing for multiple treatment conditions to compare 2000 to 2010 changes in income, poverty, unemployment, and home values between census tracts that received different combinations of investment through (a) both NMTC and LIHTC, (b) NMTC alone, (c) LIHTC alone, and (d) neither program. Findings revealed that the addition of NMTC had a positive impact on socioeconomic trajectories, while adding LIHTC-subsidized housing into a census tract could have a positive, negligible, or negative impact, depending on the comparison condition. Overall, this dissertation contributes to a better understanding of why certain types of poor places may be more likely to benefit from these types of market-driven place-based initiatives than others, and introduces a more integrated and nuanced approach for evaluating programs that operate within shared geographic space to address different facets of
neighborhood poverty.

▼ O presente trabalho é um estudo sobre a configuração do espaço penhense a partir, sobretudo, da consideração de práticas sociais que marcaram a história dessa porção da cidade de São Paulo. O entendimento desta problemática passa pela análise das continuidades e descontinuidades históricas e das relações de vizinhança, enquanto referência de vida de bairro, que deram à Penha certa originalidade em relação aos demais bairros de São Paulo. O período abrangido no estudo se estende desde a formação do patrimônio religioso e o estabelecimento da freguesia de Nossa Senhora da Penha, até a metropolização, momento de grande ruptura marcada pelo fim da vida de bairro na localidade. O estudo destaca três momentos: a constituição da Penha enquanto bairro rural; a constituição da Penha enquanto subúrbio; e a constituição da Penha enquanto bairro da cidade de São Paulo. A compreensão das transformações espaciais na Penha e de todo o conjunto acima descrito só é possível se realizam se tivermos em mente a cidade e seus processos (industrialização e urbanização) enquanto instauradores do modo de vida urbano. Com isso acreditamos também estar contribuindo para a compreensão do desenvolvimento urbano da cidade de São Paulo.
The present work is a study about the configuration of the penhense space from, over all, the consideration of social practices that marked the history of this portion of the São Paulo city. The agreement of this problematic pass through analysis of the historical continuities and discontinuities and the neighborhood relations, while reference of neighborhood life, that had given to Penha some originality in relation to others neighborhood of São Paulo. The period enclosed on the study extends since the formation of the religious patrimony, establishment of the Nossa Senhora da Penha parish, until the metropolization, moment of large rupture marked for the end of the neighborhood life in the locality. The study point out three moments: the constitution of Penha while rural neighborhood; the constitution of Penha while suburb; and the constitution of Penha while neighborhood of the São Paulo city. The comprehension of the space transformations on the neighborhood of Penha and all set described above have only accomplished if we have in mind the city and its processes (industrialization and urbanization) while founders of the urban way of living. With this we also believe to be contributing for the understanding of the urban development of the city of São Paulo.

▼ Many US inner cities that had once experienced enormous growth have suffered
decline in physical, social, and economic respects. This experience has been limited not
only to US urban areas but is also apparent in many UK cities. Because the forces of
urban decline have been similar in both cases, so have efforts to address their
consequences. Urban policies in each country were implemented to regenerate (UK) or
revitalize (US) inner city areas and neighborhoods.
This study focuses on one aspect of urban regeneration/revitalization. Change in
housing characteristics is a key indicator of decline in inner cities, and captures many of
the social, economic and physical aspects of decline. By examining changes in housing
characteristics, as well as contextual variables such as poverty, income, and
unemployment, this paper examines differences in policy approaches to reversing urban
decline.
A comparative case study of neighborhoods in representative urban areas in each
country using secondary qualitative and quantitative data provides evidence of how each
country's approach resulted in changes to the
neighborhood's housing and social
characteristics. Interpreting these changes leads to conclusions and implications for
current and future policies in each country.

▼ The purpose of this study was to assess the mode and the level of community
participation as well as motivating factors that make community members participate
in the upgrading program of rundown houses in the Kirkos sub city of Addis Ababa.
The participants of the study were community members from the
neighborhood
groups, arbitration committee, facilitators and the ordinary residents. The study was
descriptive and explanatory in nature, and cross-sectional study design was applied.
The primary data was collected from four categories of people using qualitative data
collection tools of interview, FGD and observation. The findings of the data show that
community members from above categories have different forms of participation in
the program, and are participating as facilitators, supervisors and daily laborers. The
neighborhood groups, parting from the family to the kebele levels are more engaged
in the identification of dilapidated houses for the upgrading program, prioritization,
supervision of activities of other groups and mediation of conflicts. The arbitration
committee mainly involved in the arbitration of conflicts in the community together
with the
neighborhood groups. The majority of the poor members tend to participate
as daily laborer while the well-to-do residents of the community occasionally assist
the daily laborers and facilitators. The studied groups also participate in the meetings
arranged for different purposes. The motivating factor that makes the ordinary
residents participate as daily laborer seems situation of their poverty and level of
education while those
neighborhood groups and elderly people motivated by public
respects for working on behalf of the community. Besides, social services that
arbitration committee obtaining also pushes them to participate. Contrary to this, the
level of education, where majority of them didn’t complete even elementary level of
education, restrain them from involvement in the crucial processes at the planning
and decision making stages. All in all, the study found that none of the community
members (whether elderly, youth, Illiterate, educated, or men and women, and so
forth) are denied to take part in the program though they mainly participate in the
implementation stage. Furthermore, none of these groups dominated the process of
the upgrading program of the rundown houses. Rather, all categories of community
members are working as facilitators of the implementing organization that controlled
the key processes of planning, decision making and designing of the program.

▼ Sanitation is the hygienic means of promoting health through prevention of human contact with the hazards of wastes (physical, microbiological, biological or chemical agents of diseases).The Sanitation problems are very obvious and harsh in slum areas as they are characterized by dilapidated and poor housing structures, poor ventilation, high density, and imperfect alignment of streets, and scarcity of safe drinking water, absence of toilet facilities and non-availability of basic physical and social services which can accelerate the transmission of various air and water borne diseases. These sanitation problems are the case for almost all the Slum neighborhoods of Addis Ababa as the slums of the city are sharing the character of the slums. Sanitation Provision in the city is grossly deficient: Most do not have access to hygienic toilets; large amount of fecal waste is discharged to the environment without proper treatment. These improper waste discharging is affecting the public health and quality of life as fecal sludge contain high concentration of pathogen pollutants. This thesis paper is the pioneer research clearly show the sanitation issues of a Slum
Neighborhood in Addis Ababa; Lideta Sub-city of Woreda 05 (pervious Kebele 43) and Woreda 09 (pervious Kebele 47) locally known as ‘Kochi Sefer’ specifically focusing on Jamare River. Both descriptive and explanatory research methods where used and also mixed types of quantitative and qualitative data were collected from primary data sources through in-depth site investigation, household survey and contact methods; and from secondary data sources through reading and note-taking; scanning and photocopying; browsing and extracting trusted websites. Beside other softwares, Arc GIS, SPSS Softwares were mainly used to analyze the data and the Realtime Landscaping Architect 2012, 3D Home Architect, Adobe Photoshop CS5, Adobe Illustrator CS5, Google Sketch up 8, ArchiCAD 12 and AutoCAD 2007 were among the softwares used in working with maps and illustrating Photos. With the aid of the described methodologies, poor sanitation facilities such as deteriorated and unimproved toilets, nose aching drainage lines and improper solid and liquid waste disposal were the main sanitation problems identified with their root causes. Finally, possible on-site strategies based on environmental and landscape design with appropriate recommendation were proposed.

▼ The presence of nearby kin, kin-directed cooperation across territory boundaries, and kin competition over extra-pair matings are potentially important influences on social evolution, yet our understanding of the complex relationships among these factors is incomplete. For example, the costs of kin competition can theoretically select for dispersal, yet other theory suggests that kin-selected reductions in the intensity of competition may counteract these costs and allow individuals to reap other benefits of kin-based living. Using both theoretical and empirical approaches, I investigate how kin structure and extra-pair mating affect each other as well as cooperative behavior. In the first chapter, I investigate competition between unrelated males over extra-pair paternity, deriving the conditions under which females are selected to invest in conflict and suggesting that males may maximize their fitness by associating in "hidden leks." In the second chapter, I show how genetic mating system and kin structure can affect the relative costs and benefits of helping versus independent breeding, suggesting that kin structure may in fact increase the benefits of breeding independently relative to rearing younger siblings. In the third chapter, I examine the effects of relatedness on extra-pair mating competition, and the effects of this kin competition on the costs and benefits of philopatry. I demonstrate that the reduced optimal investments in competition among kin mean that males benefit from philopatry, even in the face of paternity loss, and that paternity gains are skewed towards the relative with higher heritable genetic quality. In the fourth chapter, I experimentally investigate the cryptic cooperative behaviors that are expressed in western bluebird (Sialia mexicana) kin neighborhoods. I find that, while first-order male relatives exhibit cross-territorial assistance responses in dire situations, these responses are less frequent than those by stay-at-home helpers. In the fifth chapter, I examine the effects of kin presence on western bluebird extra-pair mating, and suggest that patterns resulting from kin-based living, such as paternity buffering, may influence the population genetic mating system. Together, these results indicate that the complex, and often cryptic, cooperative and competitive interactions that occur among independently breeding relatives in kin neighborhoods can importantly affect social evolution.

▼ As observed by Knox and Pinch (2000) modern
metropolitan areas are often partitioned into multi-purpose
governmental and administrative districts. One such multi-purpose
metropolitan partitioning is the urban
neighborhood. Although
difficult to define, neighborhoods are areas with similar
demographic, architectural, economic, and arguably social
characteristics. Geographers and other social scientists often use
urban neighborhoods as areal units of analysis, however, there is
little consensus on procedures for meaningfully discerning their
spatial bounds. This dissertation tested a new complex
conceptualization of
neighborhood by Galster using the vernacular
neighborhoods in Akron, Ohio. Galster conceptualizes
neighborhood
as a complex commodity comprised of ten simpler components and
purports that the degree of presence of each component can vary
spatially. Using a covariance structural analysis framework,
Galster's model was evaluated empirically using a highly granular
parcel level dataset. The existence of the ten subcomponents was
verified with congeneric measurement models and latent variable
scores were calculated and mapped to explore their spatial
variability. The analysis confirmed the existences and spatial
variability of all ten components of Galster's model as well as
significant interaction among the components. Galster's
conceptualization was extended to produce an alternative
regionalization of the vernacular neighborhoods of Akron. This
research led to a better empirical understanding of the city's
neighborhoods and demonstrated the utility of covariance structural
analysis to urban geographical research.

▼ Incidence and prevalence of chronic diseases such as diabetes are increasing in the U.S. Effective diabetes management is essential to ensure healthy outcomes and avoid severe diabetes sequelae including blindness, myocardial infarction, and early mortality. Research and interventions on diabetes management have primarily targeted changes in individual level risk factors related to physical activity, diet, and medication adherence. Features of neighborhoods, such as neighborhood safety may also be risk factors for poor diabetic management. Research has associated neighborhoods with diabetes incidence and prevalence but few studies focus diabetic populations. To this end, the overall goal of these analyses is to examine how neighborhood safety is associated with diabetic health.Methods: Chapter 1 provides an introduction and overview to the diabetes and neighborhood safety literature. Three analyses investigating research aims related to neighborhood safety and diabetic management and health will be conducted over three chapters, as follows: Chapter 2: Perceived Neighborhood Safety and Crime in Relation to Cardiometabolic Risk Factors among type II diabetics, Chapter 3: Examining associations between police recorded crime and stress among type II diabetics, and Chapter 4: Examining associations between police recorded crime and obesity among type II diabetics. Chapter 5 provides a summary of findings, implications, and recommendations.This study will use data from the Diabetes Study of Northern California (DISTANCE), one of the largest, racially and ethnically diverse U.S. cohorts of diabetics followed in a managed care health system. This cohort was established to study social determinants of diabetes and is ideally suited to explore how neighborhood safety, using measures of perceived and objective crime, influence stress and cardiometabolic risk factors such as glycemic control and body mass index.Discussion and Significance: Diabetics are at risk for a multitude of diabetic complications and early mortality. Understanding how neighborhood level risk factors affect diabetic health may help alleviate diabetes sequelae. Contextual risk factors such as neighborhood crime and safety may be amenable to policy changes and may lead to additional effective interventions for diabetics.

▼ This study investigates spatial dependence and
neighborhood effects in mortgage lending disparities in the
Southern California five-county region. In doing so, it assesses
indicators of primary mortgage market activity and their
determinants for the region as a whole. The study compiles data
from the 2002 HMDA and the 2000 U.S. Census to undertake a variety
of analyses, including computation, assessment, and mapping of
social-economic characteristics, as well as home mortgage
origination, denial rates, and secondary market purchase rates by
census tracts among sampled areas and population cohorts. Cluster
analyses of social-economic and mortgage parameters show
distinctive patterns of spatial clustering among tracts across the
region. In observing these blueprints of spatial dependence, the
study further undertakes a geographically weighted regression (GWR)
to analyze spatial non-stationarity in the determinants of
variability in
neighborhood primary market loan denial rates for
the year 2002.; The modeling results reveal that significant
spatial non-stationarity exists between mortgage denial rates and
neighborhood-level socioeconomic determinants. Firstly, tracts
exhibiting similar
neighborhood-denial rate relationship tend to
cluster, and the effects and proximity of nearby tracts play
significant roles in the determination of the denial outcomes of
the underlying tracts. Secondly, the study finds that those
locational attributes, including income, population, age, racial
composition, housing stock, show significant and varying impacts on
mortgage denial rate pattern across space. Specifically, the
established relationship between tract denial rates and tract
attributes is not necessarily significant everywhere in the region.
In particular, among traditionally underserved areas and more
affluent areas, there exist spatially varying relationships between
denial rate and tract racial composition, which shed lights on the
existence and varying causes of redlining across space. The study
concludes that mortgage lending patterns are better understood by
the geographically weighted model than traditional Ordinary Least
Square (OLS) regression approaches on lending outcome, which ignore
the spatial dependence among local determinants.

▼ This study utilized a unique mixed methodology to examine perceptions of
neighborhood characteristics, independent mobility, and child civic engagement among 101 child-caregiver dyads. Children between the ages of 7 and 13 years completed a
neighborhood walk with a member of the research team, identifying
neighborhood boundaries, taking pictures of important places, and explaining their day-to-day activities. Responses from a written survey and
neighborhood observations complimented the
neighborhood walk data. Results revealed that spatial
neighborhood and independent mobility did not vary significantly by age or gender. However, spatial
neighborhood and independent mobility were positively related to several child and caregiver measures of
neighborhood social content. Multivariate regression was used to assess the relationship between perceptions of
neighborhood and child civic engagement. The results showed that child independent mobility, child perceptions of
neighborhood safety, child perceptions of opportunities for friendship, and caregiver social embeddedness predicted child civic engagement. Of these, child perceptions of
neighborhood safety was the strongest predictor of child civic engagement. The research and practical implications of these findings are discussed.

▼ The Corner Market on Columbia Pike and South Walter Reed Drive in Arlington, Virginia was to stand at the intersection of yesterday and tomorrow. It would knit together a
neighborhood segmented by real estate development and economics. It would fill the cerebral need to connect, interact, and relate through the corporeal needs of nourishment, medicine, and shelter.
The building of four functions, market, pharmacy, bakery, and housing, would complete the fourth corner of Walter Reed Drive and Columbia Pike. It would stand on a four-cornered site with four faces: the welcoming North, serene South, diligent East, and leisurely West. The joining of one side with another would be celebrated architecturally, creating moments of importance and delight.
The Corner Market would speak for its citizens in a timeless language free from the assumptions of newness within an old fabric. It would say that the
neighborhood meets at the corner.

▼ This dissertation presents an integrated framework that was developed to examine trajectories of
neighborhood change, mechanisms of suburban diversity, and the relationships between
neighborhood change and employment accessibility. First, this dissertation extends the study of
neighborhood change to a greater time and spatial span, systematically examining the trajectories of
neighborhood change at the census tract level. The results show that
neighborhood change is complicated and exhibits various trajectories. The dominant patterns do not always conform to classical models of
neighborhood change, providing counterpoints to some long-established assumptions. This dissertation also provides evidence of the mechanisms through which metropolitan and suburban characteristics influence suburban diversity. Most importantly, it highlights a remarkable increase in suburban diversity with respect to
neighborhood composition. Finally, this dissertation investigates the relationships between
neighborhood change, spatial transformation, and employment accessibility in the North Carolina Piedmont region during the last three decades. Spatial patterns of the
neighborhood distributions suggest that job accessibility varies by
neighborhood typology. A detailed analysis of the trajectories of
neighborhood change shows interesting patterns in both central city and suburban ecological succession and transformation. These geographical shifts of neighborhoods were shown to be associated with changes in job accessibility to a certain extent. In sum, by introducing an integrated framework including social, spatial, and employment factors, this dissertation develops a more balanced understanding of
neighborhood change in the United States.

▼ The single family home is a building type synonymous with residential architecture among many in the United States. The notion that the ideal built character of a dwelling is a private structure, built on private land, and owned by a private entity is as old as that ownership equating to power in human history. Though the houses of today are no longer the literal manifestations of strength seen in the fortifications of feudal castles or wealth seen in the opulence of imperial palaces, the metaphorical implications remain.
It was on these allegories that the Post-WWII housing boom capitalized, using slogans and advertisements meant to invoke the glory and strength of owning a home. They charged that a man was not truly a man until he owned his own home, and that this American Dream can be achieved for surprisingly low prices. Thus the home was commoditized and development after development of ‘single family homes’ were replicated across the country.
70 years later, these structures which were built quickly for cost efficiency, and with a very specific ‘single family’ in mind for their residents are reaching the end of their usable lives. The architecture which replaces or adds to them has significant power to redefine the notion of a single-family home and its surrounding
neighborhood. This thesis seeks to understand the current trend of redevelopment in these areas and propose alternate solutions which enrich the built character of the community and expands on the notion of what residential architecture can be.

▼ The purpose of this longitudinal study was to examine the links between
neighborhood violence and peer antisocial behavior measured at ages 8 and 10 and family relationships measured at age 15 (i.e., parenting, parent-child relationships, sibling relationships). In addition, the mediating effects of adolescent antisocial behavior measured at ages 11 and 12 on these direct links. The sample consisted of 239 families with sons from the Pitt Mother & Child Project. Results indicated that high levels of
neighborhood violence and peer antisocial behavior were associated with high levels of negative parent-child relationship quality and low levels of parental knowledge. Peer antisocial behavior was positively related to sibling conflict. Following the criteria established by Baron and Kenny (1986), next the mediating effect of adolescent antisocial behavior was tested. Some evidence for mediation was found. In general, this longitudinal study provides important information on how adolescents' experiences outside of the home may influence what goes on inside of the home.

▼ This dissertation chronicles a Mexican American community’s struggle for survival amidst late twentieth century urban revitalization. South El Paso, Texas, a one square mile
neighborhood along the U.S.-México border, functioned as a city within a city. For over a century, the ethnic Mexican population created a vibrant community and developed an emotional ownership of the Southside. Although socio-economically and politically marginalized, Mexican Americans fought for the preservation of South El Paso, especially during the late 1970s when the most intense waves of urban redevelopment occurred.
The study examines Mexican American grassroots approaches to preserve the neighborhoods of South El Paso, Texas, in the 1960s and 1970s. It argues that the rapid disappearance of the barrio, experience with federal War on Poverty programs, the Chicano Movement of the 1960-1970s, and the community’s connections and feelings of ownership of the area led to fights for better housing and the preservation of
neighborhood. In order to protect the residential and cultural character of the barrio, but not its poverty, the community of South El Paso employed three methods of activism: by participating in grassroots
neighborhood political organizations, staging squatter demonstrations, and engaging in community based cultural preservation projects. Through these different strategies, Mexican Americans in South El Paso brought changes to the barrio and politically empowered the community by challenging the urbanizing visions of city leaders. The efforts essentially showed local, state, and federal power structures that the barrio was not for sale, and that their plight to preserve the area’s residential character needed to be respected, despite the fact that it remained segregated from the rest of the city of El Paso.
The fight to preserve barrios in the 1960s and 1970s allowed Mexican Americans to not only to defend the spaces that were historically meaningful for them, but also served as a stage to exert their citizenship and civil rights. By melding Chicana/o and urban historiographies, this dissertation demonstrates that El Paso and Texas are important battleground sites within the long Chicana/o Movement and broader struggles for civil rights.

▼ There are an estimated 48 million cases of foodborne illness per annum in the United States, with a majority of the illnesses associated with eating in a restaurant. Previous research into the causes of foodborne illness have primarily focused on factors that are internal to the restaurant. This research examines both internal components as well as external factors from the surrounding community that could influence how a food establishment operates.
Inspection data, providing the basis for this analysis, came from routine inspection reports from Maricopa County, Arizona and the State of Florida. Additional evaluations are from randomly sampled restaurants, containing information on the occurrence of specific risk factors for foodborne illness, captured from States A and B. External community demographic data from the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey was also used.
The routine inspection data was analyzed using a general estimating equations approach, and the risk factor study data was analyzed via a tobit regression. This approach allowed for the identification of the specific variables and their relative effect on the food safety performance of the establishment
The only external factor to have an influence on restaurant food safety performance was the level of market competition, both near the restaurant and at a further distance from the restaurant. Other socio-demographic variables of the area were not found to have a significant effect. Internal factors, such as the level of food-handling and the food-safety related training held by employees were found to have an effect on the restaurants food safety performance.
This study has shown the utility in assessing the compliance status of each risk factor, and the limitations of only using a count of violations. Additionally, concordant with most facilities operating in a sanitary manner, large sample sizes are required to identify an effect from a covariate.

▼ This study investigates the extent to which neighborhoods that are both racially and economically diverse, hereafter referred to as dually diverse neighborhoods, exist within the metropolitan landscape of the United States and what factors contribute to the emergence of such neighborhoods. Using the
Neighborhood Change Database, this study defines what a diverse
neighborhood is and gives a descriptive portrait of the characteristics of these neighborhoods. The entropy index (H) is used as the measure of
neighborhood diversity because of its ability to take into account the presence of more than two groups, unlike other more commonly used measures of segregation or diversity. Dually diverse neighborhoods are operationalized as those neighborhoods having an entropy score greater than or equal to 0.69 on the racial measure and an entropy score greater than or equal to 0.87 on the income measure, which corresponds to a
neighborhood archetype that is an easily understood, intuitively appealing mixture of both income and racial-ethnic groups. Results indicate that the presence of dually diverse neighborhoods has nearly doubled each decade between 1970 and 2000 and that more than half of dually diverse neighborhoods maintained their integrated status from 1990 to 2000. Regression analyses probing the predictors of dually diverse neighborhoods in metro areas examine whether metropolitan income distributions, metropolitan racial-ethnic diversity, household preferences for
neighborhood diversity, immigration and metropolitan growth, housing market characteristics, and public policy interventions are correlated with the incidence of dually diverse neighborhoods in metro areas. Findings suggest that the most important predictor of dually diverse neighborhoods is the incidence of racially diverse neighborhoods in metro areas. The incidence of racially diverse neighborhoods in metro areas is in turn influenced by the presence of recently-arriving immigrants and growing income distribution congruence amongst the four racial-ethnic groups in the study. Implications for public policy are discussed, as well as a discussion of how this work compliments and expands the extant knowledge on diverse neighborhoods.

▼ Using particle integrations of more than a million
particles we explore the effect of spiral arms and the Galactic bar
on the velocity distribution in the Milky Way disk. In this thesis
we explore four topics: <OL> <LI> Heating due to
multiple spiral patterns: We find that stochastic heating
(increased random motions with time) is induced by interactions
between two steady-state spiral density waves moving at different
pattern speeds. We examine a range of spiral strengths and spiral
speeds and show that stars in this time dependent gravitational
field can be heated. This is a new mechanism for increasing the
stellar velocity dispersion in galactic disks. If multiple spiral
patterns are present in the Galaxy we predict that there should be
large variations in the stellar velocity dispersion as a function
of radius. <LI> The effect of spiral structure perturbations
on Oort constant measurements: We find that a two-armed spiral
density wave affects measurements of the Oort constants introducing
systematic errors in <I>A</I> and <I>B</I>
of order 5 km s
−1
kpc
−1. Oort’s |<I>C</I>|, on
average, is larger for lower stellar velocity dispersions, contrary
to recent measurements (Olling & Dehnen 2003). We conclude that
spiral structure alone cannot account for this observation. This
discrepancy is resolved by considering the effect of the Galactic
bar on the local stellar velocity distribution (see (3)).
<LI> The effect of the Galactic bar on Oort’s
<I>C</I>-value: Previous work has related the Galactic
bar to structure in the local stellar velocity distribution. We
show that the bar also influences the spatial gradients of the
velocity vector via the Oort constants. By numerical integration of
test-particles we simulate measurements of the Oort
<I>C</I>-value in a gravitational potential including
the Galactic bar. We account for the observed trend that
<I>C</I> is increasingly negative for stars with higher
velocity dispersion. By comparing measurements of
<I>C</I> with our simulations we improve on previous
models of the bar, estimating that its pattern speed is
[omega]
b/[omega]
0 =
1.87 ± 0.04, where [omega]
0 is the local
circular frequency, and the bar angle lies within 20◦ ≤
φ
0 ≤ 45◦. We find that the Galactic bar
causes biases in measurements of the Oort constants
<I>A</I> and <I>B</I> less than ~2 km
s
−1 kpc
−1 for the hot
stars. <LI> Signatures of spiral structure in Galactic
pencil-beam and large-scale radial velocity surveys: By simulating
pencil-beam and all-sky Galactic radial velocity surveys we show
how the statistical kinematic properties of stars can be used to
infer spiral structure parameters. Spiral pattern speeds can be
estimated from the location of rings of increased velocity
dispersion caused by Lindblad resonances. This information,
however, must be combined with information related to the
velocities and stellar number density in order to distinguish from
a four-armed structure. The mean line-of-sight velocity and…
