▼ Falls are substantial barriers to walking outside and outdoor physical activity among older adults. Although health and behavioral risk factors for falls were well explored, neighborhood environmental factors for the risk of falling remain poorly understood. The over-arching goal of this dissertation is to understand the heterogeneity of falls in relation to neighborhood environmental features through multifaceted research approaches. This dissertation contains three independent studies, consisting of one systematic review paper and two quantitative studies with one as a cross-sectional study at the neighborhood level and another as a longitudinal study at the individual level. The first systematic review paper was to examine the risk factors of indoor and outdoor falls in relation to biological/ health, behavior, and socio-economic status through a systematic review. Findings from this study showed that the occurrence of indoor falls tended to be associated with being female and being frail, while outdoor falls are more common among males and those who are physically active. The second study explored the characteristics of neighborhood environments associated with fall injuries reported to emergency medical services (EMS) from 2011-2014 in the city of San Antonio (TX, USA) at the census tract level. The study showed that neighborhoods with higher residential density with a higher vacancy rate were associated with increased counts of fall injuries. Neighborhoods with higher residential stability captured as the percent of those who lived in the same house as the previous year were shown to be associated with a decreased count of fall injuries. Finally, the third study used data from the National Health and Aging Trends Study (NHATS). This prospective study examined prospective associations of changes in environmental perceptions (e.g., street conditions, walking surfaces, and physical disorders) with changes in fall occurrence through a longitudinal study. The results showed that safe and well-maintained outdoor environments helped prevent falls among those older adults who actively engage in outdoor activities. In the conclusion, the findings of this dissertation have underscored the importance of studies examining the risk factors of falls and fall prevention in relation to neighborhood environmental and policy interventions. Thus, environmental interventions to reduce the risk of falling should be considered by public health professionals, gerontologists, environmental psychologists, and urban planners interested in helping older adults reduce fall incidents.

▼ 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. Advisors/Committee Members: McDonald, Chris.

▼ 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 purpose of this dissertation was to examine (1) the moderating role of parental neighborhood perceptions on the relationship between neighborhood structural disadvantage and adolescent depressive symptoms, (2) if adolescent neighborhood perceptions moderated the association between neighborhood structural disadvantage and adolescent depressive symptoms, and (3) the effects of neighborhood structural disadvantage on depressive symptom trajectories as well as the moderating role of neighborhood perceptions on the relationship from adolescence to young adulthood. Data came from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health (Add Health) (N=12,105), and random effects multilevel modeling along with growth curve modeling were used. Results showed that parental-perceived neighborhood disorder was significantly associated with higher levels of adolescent depressive symptoms (β=0.27, SE=0.05, p≤0.001), while adolescent-perceived neighborhood social cohesion (β=0.24, SE=0.04, p≤0.001) and safety (β=0.47, SE=0.04, p≤0.001) were significantly associated with lower depressive symptoms among adolescents after full adjustment. Parental-perceived collective efficacy was not associated with adolescent depressive symptoms (p>0.05). Interactions between neighborhood concentrated poverty and parental-perceived neighborhood disorder, adolescent-perceived collective efficacy, contentment, and safety were also significant (p≤0.05). Parental-perceived collective efficacy was not found to be a moderator (p>0.05). Findings suggest that aspects of the neighborhood social environment may help to buffer against depression, particularly in high poverty neighborhoods. Components of neighborhood structural disadvantage and disorder, collective efficacy, contentment, and safety could serve as targets for the development of structural and other intervention strategies such as community-level interventions, aimed at reducing or preventing depression. Ultimately, addressing neighborhood structural disadvantage and improving the social environment may help to reduce depressive symptoms among adolescents as well as depression prevalence and risk, thereby reducing the growing mental health burden among youth.

▼ 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.

▼ 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.

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.

▼ 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.

▼ 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. Advisors/Committee Members: Hailu Worku(PhD) (advisor).

▼ 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. Advisors/Committee Members: Mary C. Sengstock.

▼ 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 has been long-standing interest in the ways in which spaces are used by various cultures and communities. Through an ethnographic study of women, space, and narrative, this dissertation explores the ways in which spaces of cultural and historical significance are used in 1) the maintenance of biopsychosocial health in a rural marginalized neighborhood; 2) the telling of “stories” that detail the ways in which these historical and culturally defined spaces reinforce and maintain social networks; and 3) explain how women living in The Lows make meaning of their everyday lived experiences that occur in rural Northwest Oklahoma. The primary questions driving this research are first, what is the cultural significance of spaces within this community? Second, in what ways do these spaces affect the biopsychosocial health of women in the neighborhood? Third, how, and why do constructed, intimate spaces facilitate the telling and sharing of narratives? Fourth, in what ways are the telling of “stories” significant to the building and maintenance of community cohesion? Lastly, in what ways do the women living in The Lows make meaning of everyday lived experiences in a rural and aging community? By purposefully positioning the voices of the research participant and researcher —the stories and cultural frameworks attached to this community, along with the critical examination of the ways in which space is utilized as an emancipatory and empowering tool, my research, using thick description, provides an intimate ethnographic explanation of space that is both fixed and transitional. In addition, my research highlights the daily lived experiences of women living in a marginalized and dying neighborhood. This endeavor is a tripartite ethnographic construction of intimacy, experimentation, and auto-ethnography. The findings presented herein indicate that intimate space coupled with “story-telling” promote and strengthen social bonds, and are, critical elements in community cohesion, self-empowerment, and emancipatory practices regarding biopsychosocial health, in this rural and aging community.

▼ Neighborhoods shape the daily experiences of residents, and in turn, neighborhood environments are shaped by residents. Despite evidence that neighborhoods influence residents of all ages, youth perspectives are often not valued, and youth input is largely excluded from intervention planning and decision-making. The present study used Photovoice to engage youth in an assessment of their urban neighborhoods in Toledo, Ohio. Nine adolescents (16 – 20 years old) from an economically-distressed neighborhood in Toledo participated in the project. Participants were included in collecting and analyzing data and disseminating findings to the community. During the six week Photovoice project, participants were asked to take photographs that reflected important aspects of their daily lives and attend weekly sessions to share photos and engage in group discussion. During the sessions, the participants and researcher analyzed the photographic data using Participatory Visual Analysis (Wang & Burris, 1997). Participants hosted a public event to display their photos at the conclusion of the project. To describe participants’ experiences, content analysis was used to identify themes discussed across Photovoice sessions. Ten themes emerged from participants’ photos, descriptions, and group discussions. Themes reflected three primary aspects of participants’ experiences: adolescence, neighborhood environment, and their social roles. Youth completed individual interviews to assess their views of project participation. Results of content analysis suggest that youth perceived numerous benefits of participation that included increased environmental awareness, social connections, efficacy, and communication. Overall, youth’s photographs and discussions illustrated the dynamic and varied ways in which youth interact with their neighborhoods. The present study highlights ways that participation in multiple aspects of the research process can empower youth to think critically and address issues in their own community.

▼ Since the early ruminations of the Chicago School, scholars have debated whether American community life is being harmed by a gradual weakening of neighborhood attachment – the extent to which individuals are emotionally connected to and actively involved in their areas of residence. Despite contributing significant insights, most prior inquiries have been unable to explicitly test decline-of-community theories because they lack true longitudinal data. This dissertation employs a dynamic multilevel approach that theoretically and empirically addresses changes in neighborhood attachment. Using restricted data from two waves of the Los Angeles Family and Neighborhood Survey, I examine how Angelinos’ attachment changes in response to changes in their personal lives and their neighborhood settings. The reciprocal relationship between residential mobility and attachment is explored as well. Overall, I find that modern-day community is alive and well, as evidenced by residents’ attitudes about and behaviors within their communities. Angelinos undergo important life transitions that, along with changes in their residential environments, shape their local attachments in distinct ways. Specifically, local social investments (e.g., being married, having a child) strengthen sentimental bonds to place, and economic investments (e.g., being a homeowner, obtaining a new job) boost participation in neighborhood organizations. Living near close friends and family consistently strengthens attachment, while experiencing fear or victimization in one’s neighborhood weakens it considerably. Perhaps most detrimental to attachment is excessive exposure to disadvantage: in neighborhoods where the concentrations of poverty, unemployment, broken families, pollution, and social services are rising, Angelinos are becoming decidedly less connected and involved. I also find that residents who are strongly attached to their neighborhoods are less likely to move, and that mobility itself exerts substantial but differential impacts on attachment. Among movers, life-course events prominently shape their attachment, while investment-type transitions dictate stayers’. Whether they move or stay put, individuals’ attachments are sensitive to changes in neighborhood context, especially increasing disorder and disadvantage. In the end, both people and neighborhoods experience profound changes over time but, even in the face of the significant challenges posed by these changes, attachment to community persists along multiple dimensions.

▼ Development of heavy rail intra-urban public transportation systems is an economically expensive policy tool for State and Local Governments that is often justified with the promise of economic development and neighborhood revitalization around station areas. However, the literature on the effects of rail intra-urban transit stations on neighborhoods is relatively thin, particularly on the socioeconomic effects. This quasi-experimental study evaluated the effect of heavy rail intra-urban transit stations on surrounding neighborhoods, using Atlanta, Georgia and its transit authority, the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA), as a case study. Atlanta is an expansive American city, with a large public transportation system, but low population density and no large-scale policies promoting growth around MARTA rail stations. The study period, 1970 to 2014, covers the entire period of MARTA’s existence – stations opened between 1979 and 2000. Neighborhood change was operationalized with a neighborhood change index (NCI), built on the Neighborhood Life-Cycle framework, with an adaptation that incorporates both the filtering (negative NCI) and gentrification (positive NCI) models of neighborhood change. The study differentiates between an initial effect of new MARTA rail stations, and a long-term effect. Control groups were formed using one and three mile buffers, as well as a matching strategy. Difference-in-difference (DID) models find very little evidence of a positive relationship of NCI with the opening of new MARTA rail stations. The economic recovery that began in 2010 is of special interest for housing research. To address this time-period this study utilized two models, with mixed results. The DID model suggested a negative effect of stations on the NCI. To control for selection bias in the 2010 to 2014 economic time-period, this study utilized propensity score matching to balance the treatment and control group on observed characteristics. A time and tract fixed effects model using the matched treatment and control groups found a significant positive effect of stations on neighborhood change. To test the long-term effect, a time and tract fixed effects model (1970-2014) with the NCI as the dependent variable found a positive NCI effect of MARTA stations on neighborhoods. Therefore, overall, positive neighborhood change (on the NCI scale) can be attributed to MARTA transit stations. Since 2002 MARTA ridership has slightly declined; therefore, the study concludes that given stagnant ridership, lack of supporting policy, and the finding of a positive relationship between MARTA transit stations and gentrification, the stations are a positive amenity, and are a significant contributor to neighborhood change. However, neighborhoods are heterogeneous on many dimensions, and the effect of rail intra-urban transit stations on neighborhoods may depend on the tract’s location, service characteristics, accessibility, and many other unobserved characteristics. Future research will supplement this methodology… Advisors/Committee Members: Ann-Margaret Esnard, Joseph Hacker, Dan Immergluck, Kyle Mangum, John Thomas.

Most of the previous research on new-build gentrifiers either looked at the socioeconomic characteristics or the housing preferences of the incoming middle classes in redeveloped areas. The experiences and daily life activities of family gentrifiers have been underexposed topics. By performing semi-structured interviews with family gentrifiers living in Stadstuinen - a redeveloped neighborhood in a poor area of Rotterdam, the Netherlands - this study has explored three subjects which tell us a lot about the experiences and daily lives of family gentrifiers: neighborhood socialization, the use of neighborhood facilities and feelings of place attachment. This study found that, contrary to what contemporary literature might suggest, neighbors seem to play a very important role in the personal network of Stadstuiners. While the nature and quality of these contacts differ from person to person neighborhood contacts are an important addition to the social capital of Stadstuiners. While the literature suggests that gentrifiers are living in a gentrification ‘’bubble’’ (Butler, 2003) this isn’t necessarily true for all gentrifiers. Individual preferences or aversions for certain facilities play an important role in the creation of a personal pattern of consumption. It is not possible to describe the habitus of family gentrifiers living in Stadstuinen in an unambiguous way. Finally this study found that the presence of school attending children is one of the most important indicators for a strong sense of place attachment. Contrary to findings of Davidson and Lees (2005) the family gentrifiers investigated in this study do put down their roots. Many interviewees put their personal wishes aside and indicated that as long as their children are attending local primary schools they are staying put in the area. This is what binds them to the neighborhood, not their personal feelings of place attachment. So while family gentrifiers in Stadstuinen show some agreements with new-build gentrifiers as to their feelings of place attachment their actual relocation behavior is not influenced by their lack of it.
