Diebold, Paul C. "History and architecture of the Meridian-Kessler neighborhood." Virtual Press, 1988. http://liblink.bsu.edu/uhtbin/catkey/546148.
Full textAbstract:
This paper will discuss the development and architecture of an Indianapolis northside residential neighborhood. While the area was settled in the mid twentieth century. Consequently, the neighborhood has a broad spectrum of architectural styles ranging from pioneer vernacular Greek Revival to Tudor Revival.In spite of the fact that the area was the leading suburb of Indianapolis in the early twentieth century, little research has been done on the history and historic architecture of Meridian-Kessler. Examples of significant structures and architectural types will be presented in the context of the area. Elements or factors which unify the neighborhood will be discussed.Finally, the issues of historic preservation in the Meridian-Kessler neighborhood will be examined. If the area is in fact historic, as the author believes then preservation measures are in order. The location and nature of the neighborhood pose a unique problem. Since the area is essentially a transitional urban/suburban district, methods of urban historic district preservation must be Modified for this special case. As historians and preservationists become reviewed. Historic increasingly aware of our early twentieth century heritage, a new terminology and approach must be acknowledged. This variation of a preservation or conservation district is termed by the author as "Suburban Preservation".Standard methods will be used to research and compose this thesis. For documentation of historic architecture, a series of Indianapolis Star articles titled "How Others Have Built" is an important source which must be a Thirty-eighth street Landmarks Foundation of Indiana is currently surveying the area; survey forms will provide much data on house types, styles and dates. Architectural archives, old records of firms active in the district and other published sources will provide further information. Planning data in the form of subarea plans andcooridor study have already been obtained for review. Plans for preservation districts in Indianapolis and other midwest cities will also be reviewed for possible application to Meridian-Kessler.Combined with field observations, the research should produce a document which places the Meridian-Kessler neighborhood in its proper historic context and aids in future planning for the area.<br>Department of Architecture

Payne, Briana. "Oral History of Bonton and Ideal Neighborhoods in Dallas, Texas." Thesis, University of North Texas, 2015. https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc848166/.
Full textAbstract:
The Bonton and Ideal neighborhoods in Dallas Texas, developed in the early 1900s, experienced physical and social decay throughout the 1980s. Neighborhood organizations and resident activism were vital to the rebirth of the community in the 1990s. Current revitalization efforts taking place there have been a source of contention as the neighborhood continues to overcome inequalities created by decades of racialized city planning initiatives. This thesis focuses on how the structuring structure of whiteness has historically affected, and continues to affect, the neighborhoods of Ideal and Bonton, as well as acts to identify how black residents have navigated their landscape and increased their collective capital through neighborhood activism.

Smallwood, Betty A. "Milneburg, New Orleans: An Anthropological History of a Troubled Neighborhood." ScholarWorks@UNO, 2011. http://scholarworks.uno.edu/td/1393.
Full textAbstract:
For nearly 200 years, there has been a neighborhood in New Orleans, Louisiana named Milneburg, which has been constantly reimagined by its inhabitants and others. From its inception as a port of entry in 1832 until the 2011, it has been called a world-class resort, the poor-man's Riviera, a seedy red-light district, a cradle of jazz, a village, a swath of suburbia and a neighborhood. It has been destroyed eight times due to storms, fires, and civic or governmental neglect. Each time its residents have rebuilt it. In its last iteration as a post-Katrina neighborhood, the residents reestablished the Milneburg Neighborhood Association in order to define its boundaries, gain control of its redevelopment and restrict who lived there as well as what activities were permitted. This is a case study of the trajectory of Milneburg and the cultural adaptations of its residents to keep it distinct, vital and respectable.

Alexander, Jason Philip. "Conflict in Adair Park: preserving neighborhood architecture and history and building affordable housing." Thesis, Georgia Institute of Technology, 2010. http://hdl.handle.net/1853/34831.
Full textAbstract:
The Adair Park neighborhood in southwest Atlanta was designed as a residential enclave for working class whites that has evolved to what it is today: an area primarily inhabited by low-income minorities. Many of its residents have worked to preserve the area's distinctive architectural heritage. Low housing values and vacancies have attracted affordable housing developers such as the Atlanta affiliate of Habitat for Humanity. In response to specific plans for the development of affordable housing in the area, members of Adair Park organized themselves to petition the City of Atlanta to adopt architectural standards that preserved the existing housing stock, and ensured that any new construction would be compatible with the neighborhood's architectural character. This study explores the tensions between inner-city communities and affordable housing developers in the quest for affordable and architecturally significant neighborhoods. The conclusions from this research suggest that the desire of predominately low-income neighborhoods to preserve the architecture character of historically significant neighborhoods may be firmly rooted in middle class aspirations and values. Moreover, the conclusions from this research also suggest non-profit housing developers should consider these attitudes prior to constructing affordable housing in predominately low-income neighborhoods.

Pacifico, David Bartholomew. "Neighborhood politics| Diversity, community, and authority at El Purgatorio, Peru." Thesis, The University of Chicago, 2014. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=3627869.
Full textAbstract:
<p> Neighborhood Politics investigates the role of commoners in the social production of an ancient city. Traditional archaeological approaches examine cities primarily through the lens of elite power and agency. Recent approaches have taken a bottom-up approach to research. Neighborhood Politics explores the ancient city as a product of both commoner and elite agencies, power, and practices. Neighborhood Politics proposes a novel methodology: 'neighborhood archaeology.' Neighborhood archaeology emerges out of household archaeology and community archaeology. In order to fully understand urbanism, neighborhood archaeology examines commoner houses, related buildings, and their inhabitants as complex socio-spatial contexts. Consequently, neighborhood archaeology here highlights the multiple contours and tensions of authority, identity, and space that characterized an ancient neighborhood. Investigations in El Purgatorio's residential district focused on architecture, domestic assemblages, and urban planning in order to understand the diverse social identities, shared practices, and built environment of El Purgatorio's commoners. Investigations examined the social history of the Casma Polity's capital city, the configuration of community there, and local-regional linkages from the perspective of commoners' everyday lives. For El Purgatorio's commoners, social diversity was configured around household composition and labor output. Diversity was materialized in unequal access to space, building materials, and construction labor. Urban hierarchies were concretized during neighborhood feasts that simultaneously created neighborhood solidarity. Elites provided raw materials for the neighborhood economy; but commoners prepared food and chicha for ritual and quotidian consumption, some of which was returned to elites in tribute. Diverse residence and circulation patterns show that the neighborhood was a negotiated landscape created through both commoner authority and the extended authority of elites from the monumental district. Neighborhood Politics highlights the complexity of urban identities, the significance of everyday activities, and the tensions in the built environment of the residential district at El Purgatorio.</p>

Kwon, Shinyoung. "From colonial patriots to post-colonial citizens| Neighborhood politics in Korea, 1931-1964." Thesis, The University of Chicago, 2013. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=3595935.
Full textAbstract:
<p> This dissertation explored Korean mass politics through neighborhood associations from the late 1930s to 1960s, defining them as a nationwide organization for state-led mass campaigns. They carried the state-led mass programs with three different names under three different state powers -Patriotic NAs by the colonial government and U.S. occupational government, Citizens NAs under the Rhee regime and Reconstruction NAs under Park Chung Hee. Putting the wartime colonial period, the post liberation period and the growing cold war period up to the early 1960s together into the category of "times of state-led movements," this dissertation argued that the three types of NAs were a nodal point to shape and cement two different images of the Korean state: a political authoritarian regime, although efficient in decision-making processes as well as effective in policy-implementation processes. It also claimed that state-led movements descended into the "New Community Movement" in the 1970s, the most successful economic modernization movements led by the South Korean government. </p><p> The beginning of a new type of movement, the state-led movement, arose in the early 1930s when Japan pushed its territorial extension. The colonial government, desperate to reshape Korean society in a way that was proper to the Great East Asia Co-prosperity Sphere and wartime mobilization, revised its mechanism of rule dependent on an alliance with a minority of the dominant class and tried to establish a contact with the Korean masses. Its historical expression was the "social indoctrination movement" and the National Spiritual General Mobilization Movement. Patriotic NAs, a modification of Korean pre-modern practice, were the institutional realization of the new mechanism. To put down diverse tensions within a NA, patriarchal gatherings made up of a male headman and male heads of household were set up. </p><p> Central to their campaigns—rice collection, saving, daily use of Japanese at home, the ration programs and demographic survey for military drafts—was the diverse interpretation of family: the actual place for residence and everyday lives, a symbolic place for consumption and private lives, and a gendered place as a domestic female sphere. The weakest links of the imperial patriarchal family ideology were the demands of equal political rights and the growing participation of women. They truly puzzled the colonial government which wanted to keep its autonomy from the Japanese government and to involve Korean women in Patriotic NAs under the patriarchal authority of male headmen. </p><p> The drastic demographic move after liberation, when at least two million Korean repatriates who had been displaced by the wartime mobilization and returned from Japan and Manchuria, made both the shortage of rice and inflation worse. It led the U.S. military occupational government not only to give up their free market economy, but also to use Patriotic NAs for economic control—rice rationing and the elimination of "ghost" populations. Although the re-use of NAs reminiscent of previous colonial mobilization efforts brought backlash based on anti-Japanese sentiment, the desperation over rice control brought passive but widespread acceptance amongst Koreans. </p><p> Whilst renaming Patriotic NAs as Citizens NA for the post-Korean War recovery projects in the name of "apolitical" national movements and for the assistance of local administration, the South Korean government strove to give it historical legitimacy and to define it as a liberal democratic institution. They identified its historical origins in Korean pre-modern practices to erase colonial traces, and at the same time they claimed that Citizens NAs would enhance communication between local Koreans and the government. After the pitched political battle in the National Congress in 1957, Citizens NAs got legal status in the Local Autonomy Law. The largest vulnerability to Citizens NAs lied in their relation to politics. While leading "apolitical" national movements as well as assisting with local administration tasks, they were misused in elections. Consequently, they were widely viewed as an anti-democratic institution because they violated the freedom of association guaranteed by the Constitution and undermined local autonomous bodies. In the end, they lost their legal status in Local Autonomy Law, with Rhee regime collapsed. </p><p> When Park Chung Hee succeeded in his military coup in 1961, he resuscitated NAs in the name of Reconstruction NAs for the "Reconstruction" movement with the priority being placed on economic development. However, civilians were against the re-use of NAs, with the notion that the governments politically abused them. Finally, the arbitrary link between state power and the NAs waned throughout the 1960s, passing its baton to the "New Community Movement" which began in 1971and swept through Korean society until the 1980s.

Pierson, Madeleine. "A Model For Empowerment: Lugenia Burns Hope’s Community Vision Through the Neighborhood Union." Scholarship @ Claremont, 2016. http://scholarship.claremont.edu/scripps_theses/890.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines the work of reformer Lugenia Burns Hope and her community organization, the Neighborhood Union, as a case study to unpack scholarly characterizations of black elite uplift strategies during the early 20th century. The Neighborhood Union was established in 1908 in Atlanta by Hope and women from the community to build stronger neighborhoods and to combat the deleterious effects of the 1906 Race Riots and Jim Crow laws. Neighborhood Union settlement houses provided basic and extracurricular services, including kindergartens for working mothers, vocational classes, and lecture series. The organization’s exceptional, multi-class leadership structure enabled members of the black poor and working classes to lead their own projects with the assistance of Neighborhood Union resources.
Hope’s background provides evidence against broad generalizations of the black elite as paternalistic, and her vision of creating democratic communities that diminished class barriers provides a counter narrative to characterizations of clubwomen and the black elite as engaging in respectability politics in their social work. Understood within its historical and sociopolitical context, Hope’s life and work also challenge mainstream narratives of the Progressive Era and the Social Gospel movement.

Full textAbstract:
This study is a community-level analysis of an African American plantation neighborhood grounded in archaeological excavations at the Quarterpath Site (44WB0124), an antebellum quartering complex and post-Emancipation tenant residence occupied circa 1840s-1905 in lower James City County, Virginia. It asserts that the Quarterpath domestic quarter was a gathering place, a locus of social interaction in a vibrant and long established Chesapeake plantation neighborhood complex.;By the antebellum period, as marriage "abroad," or off-plantation, became the most common form of long term social union within plantation communities, enslaved social and kin ties in the Chesapeake region were typically geographically dispersed, enjoining multiple domestic areas across dynamic rural plantation neighborhoods. Such neighborhoods came to comprise 1) Sets of interrelated places common across virtually all large Chesapeake plantations, and 2) Sets of social relationships that transcended plantation borders, becoming invested and embedded in local places over time.;This work examines the ways in which structures of community became embedded in a variety of familiar places across the Quarterpath neighborhood as enslaved persons appropriated plantation landscapes through habitual practices and meaningful bodily orientations. It expands the frame of reference beyond the core domestic homesites to embrace the other grounds and places where residents spent much of their time, places in which relationships were built with neighbors performing common tasks on familiar grounds. It offers new insights to archaeological analyses concerning African American domestic sites throughout the African Atlantic diaspora, envisioning home grounds as dynamic social configurations embedded within mosaics of local places that came to embody community, family, and roots. It is an archaeology of a community in transition but it is also an archaeology of landscapes. It adopts a methodologically innovative approach intended to address often overlooked interpretive contexts and horizons of meaning, exploring mechanisms of community development and associated processes of place-making in a pre- and post-Emancipation African American community.

Fields, Willard. "Urban Landscape Change in New Orleans, LA: The Case of the Lost Neighborhood of Louis Armstrong." ScholarWorks@UNO, 2005. http://scholarworks.uno.edu/td/151.
Full textAbstract:
While Jane Jacobs' frontal assault on "modern planning" is now over forty years old, communities around the United States are still struggling to deal with the legacy of modernist interventions that dramatically altered the historic urban form and culture of their downtowns. In the worst cases, whole zones were transformed into nearly unusable space. Reintegrating these lost spaces into the urban fabric is one of the most significant challenges of urban planners and designers today. Despite the ubiquity of lost spaces in American cities, comparatively little research has been done on the specific historic urban forms that were altered. This dissertation seeks to explore the processes of landscape change through a case study of Louis Armstrong's downtown neighborhood in New Orleans. It employs an urban morphological framework to uncover the specific landscape changes that occurred in the neighborhood over time. This micro-level view is broadened through an examination of the political economic forces that helped to transform the once vibrant neighborhood into the lost space of today. This study concludes that while it is tempting to identify the twentieth century modern interventions as the cause of lost space in New Orleans, such a reading unnecessarily isolates the modern development era from the historical continuum of land use that helped define the city. When the scope of inquiry into the causes of lost space is widened to include the historic formation of landscape remnants, long-standing patterns of lost space development begin to appear that stretch back to the founding of the city. Modern development, seen in this light, exacerbated existing negative landscape features more than created them.

Full textAbstract:
Progress Village, a historically Black neighborhood outside of Tampa, FL, encountered structural violence that included construction of an adjacent phosphogypsum stack. Why the neighborhood signed a legal agreement with the stack’s operating industry and the impacts of this decision provides a lesson in critical environmental justice. Theories of urban political ecology frame exploration of resident priorities, relationships with industry, risk perceptions, and health concerns. Utilizing activist anthropology, this thesis aims to be mutually beneficial to scholarly and neighborhood development. Ultimately, this research demonstrates how southern gradualism, racism, and a trend towards isolationism created today’s striving, yet marginalized and divided community. This thesis encourages scholarship on everyday resident-industry interactions and provides insights to strengthen future Community Benefits Agreements, while questioning if such agreements serve environmental justice.

Previous issue date: 2015-02-06<br>This work looks for one construction of Roger’s Neighborhood History in João Pessoa city from official and bibliography sources and memory reports of the dwellers and ex-dwellers. We used as methodology the storytelling in order to identify continuities and disruptions that the neighborhood suffered during the time. We approached in a first moment from the literature review intertwined between the local history and the micro-history, in transit with others concepts of memory, identity and citizenship, the trajectory of occupation of a central space localized in the north zone. The local that is situated the neighborhood was stage for the initial development of the city, entering in the local characteristics of Roger’s Neighborhood through testimonials, bibliographies and official documents found at the Metropolitan Curia. We proposed to reflect on bucolic view of the neighborhood due to the specific elements as the “Lixão” (garbage dump) and the penitentiary that collaborated with the negative view disseminated by the press and appropriated by the non-dwellers, individuals that do not have experience in the neighborhood. In the last chapter, we deal about the Teaching of Local History from a reflection on the space that this approach occupy nowadays. We analyzed the ongoing legislation and the reports about the Teaching of Local History from teachers of history of the three public schools of Roger’s Neighborhood. We elaborated, in the end, a source guide that brings productions about the neighborhood and the João Pessoa city in the form of consultancy material and support for teachers, students and those that want to know more about Roger’s Neiborhood.<br>Este trabalho visa à construção de uma História do Bairro do Roger na cidade de João Pessoa a partir de fontes oficiais, bibliográficas e relatos de memória de moradores e ex-moradores. Utilizamos, enquanto metodologia, a História Oral a fim de identificarmos continuidades e rupturas que o bairro sofreu ao longo do tempo. Abordamos num primeiro momento, a partir de uma fundamentação teórica entrelaçada entre a História Local e a Micro-História, em trânsito com outros conceitos como memória, identidade, cidadania, a trajetória de ocupação do espaço central da cidade, localizado na zona norte, local em que se situa o bairro e que foi palco para o desenvolvimento inicial da cidade. Refletiremos sobre a formação de uma visão bucólica do bairro devido aos elementos pontuais como o Lixão e o Presídio, que colaboram com a imagem negativa disseminada pela impressa e apropriada pelos não moradores, indivíduos que não estabelecem vivências no bairro. Mapeamos os lugares de memória e outros elementos que delimitam o sentimento de pertencimento e a dicotomia espacial e social existente no bairro. No último capítulo, tratamos sobre o Ensino de História Local a partir de uma reflexão sobre o espaço que esta abordagem ocupa nos dias de hoje. Analisamos a legislação vigente e os relatos sobre o Ensino de História Local dos professores de história das três escolas públicas do Bairro do Roger. Elaboramos, ao final, um guia de fontes que traz produções sobre o bairro e a cidade de João Pessoa em forma de material de consulta e apoio para professores e alunos e aqueles que desejarem conhecer mais sobre o Bairro do Roger.

Quicksey, Angelica M. "Coffee, Culture, and Capital in America: Starbucks and the Commoditization of Urban Space." Scholarship @ Claremont, 2012. http://scholarship.claremont.edu/cmc_theses/473.
Full textAbstract:
Starbucks' success following Howard Schultz's purchase of the company in 1987 was largely the product of a particular historical moment, one rooted in the social and economic changes that manifested themselves in the built environment of the American metropolis from the 1970's to the present. Most contemporary observers saw Starbucks as a symbol of these changes – particularly those that fell under the complicated heading of gentrification – rather than recognizing it as an agent of change.
This thesis reveals the development of Starbucks' character and expansion model from its humble beginnings in 1971. It offers an overview of the various theories of gentrification and neighborhood change, relating them to Seattle, and placing Starbucks within this narrative. Chapter three examines Starbucks as a commodity, a place, and a neighbor. As a commodity, the history and preparation of specialty coffee made it a de facto consumption choice for the rich, famous, and educated. Starbucks appropriated, packaged and marketed the drink's sophisticated characteristics toward its own ends. Meanwhile, Starbucks' claims of community centered on its perception and presentation as a "third place" – the public place of a new age. Finally, as a neighbor, Starbucks has been courted and rejected by communities, developers, and city governments seeking or spurning the changes – increased foot traffic, wealthier clientele, etc. – that often accompany the coffee giant's arrival to a neighborhood. Lastly, this thesis focuses on metropolitan areas, perhaps the most tangible places to think about capitalism and capitalist enterprises, with an emphasis on Seattle, Starbucks' native city.

Full textAbstract:
Reeveston Place is a neighborhood located on the southeast side of Richmond, Indiana. All of Richmond's National Register residential areas contain examples of the popular architectural styles of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Reeveston, however, is a unique Richmond neighborhood because its plan and development were primarily influenced by the trends and styles of the early and mid-twentieth century.Economic and cultural influences before, between and after both world wars, and the impact of the automobile were factors that made Reeveston an area different from its predecessors. Building activity occurred in the neighborhood for nearly a half-century, and the result is an eclectic mix of architectural styles. As it grew, Reeveston was primarily a neighborhood for the upper-middle class and upper-class citizens of Richmond, and several prominent architects were employed to design the houses. Reeveston's historical and architectural significance warrant its consideration for inclusion in the National Register.<br>Department of Architecture

According to the United States Department of Education, approximately 4,172,347 four year olds are eligible to attend publicly funded preschool programs. Of this number, only 1,709,607 of those eligible are enrolled in a publicly funded preschool program (U.S. Department of Education, 2014). Because of a lack of quantitative and qualitative data regarding parents' positive and negative attitudes and beliefs about preschool, misconceptions arise regarding parental decisions to support or not to support their child's academic, social and emotional development prior to kindergarten. In a large urban district in the southeastern part of the United States, this qualitative phenomenological study investigated the perceptions of 12 parents, six of whom elected and six of whom did not elect to send their children to preschool, and the lived experiences that contributed to those decisions. Unanswered questions linger about why so few children attend preschool. Further, the study examined the relationship between parent attitudes and beliefs about preschool and whether or not their lived experiences contributed to their perceptions of the values of preschool.
The conceptual framework for this study was based on Glasser's (1998) concept of an individual's quality world. Data were collected from initial and follow up interviews. Moustakas' (1994) modified van Kaam (2011) method was used to analyze the data, including listing and preliminary grouping, reduction and elimination, clustering and thematizing, and for a final identification of the invariant constituents and themes. Findings from the study revealed that participants encountered both positive and negative experiences that contributed to their decisions about preschool. Participants also believed that academic readiness skills, social emotional development, and parental involvement were values of preschool.<br>Ed. D.

O presente estudo realiza uma experiência de narrativa histórica de paisagem da porção noroeste da metrópole de São Paulo no período de 1867 à 1950, um tecido composto por particularidades passível de um exercício de interpretação integrada e regional. O bairro de Perus/SP, lugar com um volume importante de registros e de militância entorno dos trabalhadores Queixadas e da produção de cimento da Fábrica Portland Perus, a partir de 1925, é o marco inicial da trilha, que se debruçam também sobre a memória ferroviária da Estrada de Ferro Perus Pirapora, com início de atividade em 1914, e sobre estudos da vizinha Caieiras por via da Cia Melhoramentos implantada em 1890. Impulsionada por memórias individuais e vínculos afetivos estabelecidos, o estudo avança na análise e publicações de escritores locais e alcança pesquisas históricas. Os materiais de elaboração local foram acessados com a participação da Universidade Livre e Colaborativa, uma experiência de construção de conhecimento aberta e realizada em parceria junto a educadores e ativistas culturais locais. Identificou-se, como experiência, uma paisagem com a contribuição dos aspectos geomorfológicos e geológicos integrados aos usos minerais, com destaque para a produção de cal participando da história da região. Incluiu-se a observação de agentes locais conjugados a estrangeiros na implantação de estações intermediárias da São Paulo Railway, demonstrando particularidades sobre a idéia do leito férreo atrair a indústria, comumente aplicado na compreensão da aurora industrial paulista. A partir desse conjunto, valorizando vivência em proximidade, memória, história, geografia e arquitetura, pretende-se apresentar material para refletir o bairro de Perus, a região noroeste e a cidade de São Paulo.<br>The present study performs a historical narrative experience of landscape of the northwestern portion of the metropolitan region of São Paulo during the period from 1867 to 1950, a fabric composed of particularities subject to an integrated and regional interpretation. Perus, a place with a significant volume of records and engagement of the Queixada\"s workers and the cement production of its local fabric Portland Perus since 1925, is the starting point of the trail, drooping on the railroad train memory Perus - Pirapora, with early activity in 1914, and on studies of nearby Caieiras through the Improvements Company, settled in 1890. Driven by individual memories and affective links established, the advances in the study and analysis of local writers and publications reaches historical research. The local preparation materials were accessed with the participation of the Free and Collaborative University, an experience of open knowledge and capacity building in partnership with educators and local cultural activists. As an experiment, a landscape was identified with the contribution of geomorphological and geological aspects integrated into the mineral uses, with emphasis on the production of lime in the history of the region. It was included the observation of local agents conjugated to foreigners in the construction of intermediate stations of the São Paulo Railway, showing points of interest about the idea of the iron bed to attract industry, commonly applied in understanding of the dawn of industry in São Paulo. From that set, valuing experience in proximity, memory, history, geography and architecture, we intend to present material to reflect the neighborhood of Perus, the Northwest metropolitan region and the city of São Paulo.

major in History and Historical Culture, it aims is to analyze the memory accounts of the elderly residents of the neighborhood Jaguaribe in order to understand from
them, the changes occurring in this space that comprises the city of João Pessoa. In other words, we intend to study the memory of the elderly residents of Jaguaribe to elucidate how these observed changes and continuities that space over time. In this regard, we chose the memory of the elderly about Jaguaribe as a reference for this work by the fact that the neighborhood can be characterized as an important place of daily life, marked by the subjectivity of those who reside or resided there, the affection that these subjects are develop over the place, which leads us to propose questions such
as: the extent to which these affective relations interfere in the record that these people work out of this place in your memory? Thus, the perspective of memory can be considered as one of the factors that contribute to studies and research related to neighborhoods, particularly from the testimony of the elders. Through the stories of these residents can reveal many details of the history and culture of a historic neighborhood, especially when it is based on this analysis aspects that relate to everyday life in the present or the past, beyond those that are linked to changes that levels are established in the social, cultural, economic and structural place over time.<br>O presente trabalho, vinculado à linha de pesquisa Ensino de História e Saberes Históricos do Programa de Pós-Graduação em História da Universidade Federal da Paraíba UFPB, com área de concentração em História e Cultura Histórica, tem por objetivo analisar os relatos de memória dos moradores idosos do bairro de Jaguaribe no sentido de compreender, a partir deles, as transformações ocorridas nesse espaço que compõe a cidade de João Pessoa. Em outras palavras, pretende-se estudar a memória dos moradores idosos da localidade visando elucidar como os mesmos observaram as mudanças e permanências desse espaço no decorrer do tempo.
Nesse sentido, escolhemos a memória dos idosos acerca de Jaguaribe como referencial para este trabalho pelo fato de que o bairro pode ser caracterizado como o lugar por excelência da vivência cotidiana, marcado pela subjetividade daqueles que nele residem ou residiram, pela afetividade que esses sujeitos passam a desenvolver em relação ao local, o que nos leva a propor questionamentos do tipo: em que medida essas relações afetivas interferem no registro que esses sujeitos elaboram a respeito desse lugar em sua memória? Dessa forma, a perspectiva da memória pode ser considerada como um dos fatores que contribuem para os estudos e pesquisas relacionados aos bairros, sobretudo a partir dos depoimentos dos mais velhos que nos permitiram investigar, dentre outros elementos, as mudanças e permanências no espaço do bairro, as festas de rua de Jaguaribe e as relações sociais de trabalho, lazer e familiares pautadas numa perspectiva de gênero. Através dos relatos desses moradores é possível desvendar inúmeros elementos relativos à história e cultura histórica de um bairro, especialmente quando se toma por base para esta análise aspectos que dizem respeito ao cotidiano, no presente ou no
passado, além daqueles que estão interligados às mudanças que são instituídas nos níveis social, cultural, econômico e estrutural do lugar no decorrer do tempo.

Arcaix, Thierry. "Le quartier Figuerolles à Montpellier : imaginaire et lien social." Thesis, Montpellier 3, 2012. http://www.theses.fr/2012MON30025/document.
Full textAbstract:
Figuerolles est le nom d’un quartier de la ville de Montpellier, une ville qui est le chef-lieu de la Région Languedoc-Roussillon et du département de l'Hérault, en France. La thèse qui y est consacrée s’articule autour de trois axes : sa dimension historique, car il n’y a de vrai développement qu’à partir d’une bonne connaissance de ce que nous sommes, ensuite tout ce qui a trait aux anecdotes, rappelant ainsi qu’il y a, comme le dirait Edgar Morin, une dialogie, c’est-à-dire un va et vient constant entre les archétypes fondateurs et les stéréotypes vécus dans la vie courante. Enfin, les descriptions de figures emblématiques, véritables totems, autour desquels on s’agrège, et qui ainsi constituent véritablement ce qui est un idéal communautaire. Au travers de ces trois points : histoire, figures, anecdotes, il s’agit de montrer comment le bien et le mal, la lumière et les ténèbres, le matériel et le spirituel sont mêlés en un réel tout à la fois complexe et fécond, régi par le hasard et la nécessité. La manifestation la plus évidente d’une telle complétude étant l’étonnante tolérance entre « ceuxqui croyaient au ciel et ceux qui n’y croyaient pas », vivant en un même lieu. N’oublions pas que le lieu fait lien… La signification affective du « quartier » souligne bien l’importance de l’espace que « je » partage avec d’autres, espace où la diversité des orientations sexuelles, la pluralité des représentations idéologiques, la multiplicité des tenues vestimentaires, la théâtralisation corporelle et la variété des goûts divers s’inscrivent dans l’ordre des choses. Tout et son contraire ont leur place, confirmant bien ainsi qu’« il faut de tout pour faire un monde »<br>Figuerolles is the name of a district of the city of Montpellier, a city which is the capital of the Languedoc-Roussillon and the department of Hérault, France. This thesis is devoted to this district, and revolves around three axes : its historical dimension, because there can be no real development without a good understanding of what we are ; secondly, everything that relates to stories, reminding ourselves that there is, to paraphrase Edgar Morin, a dialogy, that is to say a constant back and forth between founders archetypes and stereotypes experienced in everyday life. Thirdly, descriptions of iconic figures, real totems around which we collect, and thus which constitute an ideal community. Through these three points : history, figures, anecdotes, we show how good and evil, light and darkness, the material and the spiritual are involved in a real context all at once complex and fruitful governed by chance and necessity. The most obvious manifestation of such completeness being amazing tolerance between "those who believe in heaven and those who do not believe," living in the same place. Do not forget that the place links... The affective meaning of "neighbourhood" underscores the importance of space as "I" shares with others, space where the diversity of sexual orientations, the plurality of ideological representations, multiple outfits, corporal dramatisation and the variety of different tastes fall into the order of things. Everything and its opposite have their place, clearly confirming that “it takes all kinds to make a world."

Full textAbstract:
The Desire Housing Project opened in 1956 as a segregated public housing development in New Orleans‟ Upper Ninth Ward. The Desire neighborhood, one of the few neighborhoods in the city where black homeownership had been encouraged, was transformed by the project. Hundreds of former Desire residents were displaced by the mammoth project, which became home to more than 13,000 residents by 1958. Built on what had once been a landfill, the Desire Housing Project came to epitomize the worst in public housing, before it was torn down by 2001. Although the project was isolated from the rest of the city and lacked basic services, residents worked to create a viable community, in spite of the pitfalls of segregation. Within the context of the civil rights movement, Desire residents fought to bring in basic services, pushing local government to more fully develop their neighborhood.

Jordan, Lisa Vaughan. "Effects of Historic Preservation Policy on Urban Neighborhood Stabilization." ScholarWorks, 2018. https://scholarworks.waldenu.edu/dissertations/5731.
Full textAbstract:
Since the 1960s, urban neighborhoods in the United States have been affected by historic designation and local historic preservation policy raising concerns about social inequity in housing and services, environmental resources, and economic challenges. Although there is consensus that the role of public policy in historic preservation decision-making is related to neighborhood stabilization, little is known about the extent of the impact. Using Ostrom's social-ecological systems theory as a guide, the purpose of this single case study of a historical district in the U.S. Mid-Atlantic region was to investigate the impact of implementation of local historic preservation policies and programs related to social and economic change. Data were collected from 11 interviews with residents and government officials and publicly available documents provided by the local government agency. These data were inductively coded and then subjected to thematic analysis. Findings indicate that areas of deficiency in historic preservation policy in the urban neighborhood affect social-economic systems due to the complex and integrated way that the components often work asynchronously. Collaboration between multiple types and levels of entities can offset the negatives and bolster the more positive aspects of historic preservation. The study includes recommendations to local government policy makers and organizations that emphasize the importance of integrated planning and development and the revision of current policy to reflect constituent needs. Maximizing the efficiency and operation of historic preservation policy may engender positive social change by optimizing economic impacts and lessening social disparities and environmental concerns, which may improve citizens' quality of life and affected areas' fiscal health.

Previous issue date: 2014<br>Resumo: O discurso sobre a renovação urbana da área central da cidade de São Paulo, nos últimos vinte anos, tem dominado a plataforma política, embora as ações decorrentes desse processo se manifestem mais no campo discursivo de que, propriamente, no plano físico. Além do poder público, diversos outros atores contribuíram para que essa região se tornasse um espaço em disputa: o mercado imobiliário, os movimentos de moradia e a imprensa. Não se negam as tentativas do poder público em implantar uma política para a região central, no entanto, os projetos e programas voltados à renovação e/ou requalificação urbanas dessa região, entre 1992 e 2012, não se completaram, foram modificados ou, simplesmente, ficaram no campo discursivo. Essa tese procura compreender o efeito da renovação urbana e a forma de atuação desses agentes na área central da cidade e, especificamente, em dois antigos bairros, o Brás e o Belém, bairros que ainda possuem algumas das características que os consolidaram como espaços operários, entre o final do século XIX e início do XX. No entanto, no início do século XXI, suas paisagens começaram a se transformar, na medida em que terrenos que abrigaram fábricas, galpões industriais, casas de vilas e cortiços passaram a ser demolidos, dando lugar ao surgimento de prédios de médio e alto padrão e templos religiosos. Essas modificações, não obstante sua contribuição para a renovação do espaço urbano, também tem contribuído para o apagamento de importantes elementos que remetem à memória do trabalho e da industrialização da cidade de São Paulo<br>Abstract: The concept about the urban renewal in the central area in São Paulo in the past 20 years has conquered the political scenery, however the actions involving this process is more seen in the discursive field than properly in the physical one. Besides the political power, several other aspects contributed to this region to become hotly disputed: the housing market, the press and the housing movement. It's undeniable the attempt by the government to implement some political action in the central area, however the projects aimed at urban renewal or to better the region, between 1992 and 2012, but somehow they weren't finished or they were modified or simply they got stuck in the discursive field. This thesis tries to comprehend the urban renewal and the action plans in the central area chiefly in two old neighborhoods Brás and Belém, neighborhoods still have some characteristics that consolidate them as working class, between the nineteenth and beginning of the twentieth century. However in the beginning of twenty first century, their landscaped started suffering some modifications in the view of the fact that some lands which were occupied by factories, industrial shed, town houses and slums were demolished in order to be built high standard and middle income apartments and religious temples. These modifications have contributed to the urban space renewal and also have contributed to the extirpation of important elements that referred to the working memory and industrialization process in São Paulo city<br>Doutorado<br>Politica, Memoria e Cidade<br>Doutora em História

The purpose of this project has been to develop a neighborhood plan for the Longfellow Neighborhood in Iowa City, Iowa using the "bottoms up" approach. Once adopted and incorporated in the City's Comprehensive Plan, it will be the first neighborhood plan in Iowa City. My official role was to serve as one of the members of the City staff. This creative project is a documentation of the process involved in preparing the plan, and a reflection as to lessons learned from it both for Iowa City and for neighborhood planning generally. The preliminary plan draft was developed based upon goals, objectives, and an implementation strategy created and endorsed by the residents. A second draft was written in accordance with the residents' responses to the original content. Pending neighborhood approval and adoption of the draft, the final document will be developed and voted upon by the Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council. The project, to date, has proven to be a successful endeavor that will serve as a precedent for other neighborhoods in Iowa City wishing to pursue the creation of their own neighborhood plans.<br>Department of Urban Planning

Full textAbstract:
Buster Simpson is a Seattle-based artist who creates work that revolves around environmental issues in public settings. His ecological messages reach local communities through works that are often funded by percent-for-art programs, non-profit organizations such as schools and museums, and other public institutions. By using recycled materials or by purifying water, Simpson's public art draws attention to the local environment, and his works provide examples of ways that people can care for their local surroundings. My thesis sheds light on Simpson's public and environmental work, detailing the creative manner in which he incorporates history, education, and artistic complexity into his sculptures. Through their aesthetics and their real-world utility, Simpson's works nurture neighborhoods.

Master of Regional and Community Planning<br>Department of Landscape Architecture/Regional and Community Planning<br>Huston Gibson<br>In 2011, the United States Secretary of the Interior approved a proposal for expansion of
the Harry S. Truman National Historic Landmark District in Independence, Missouri. The
expansion of the historic district and the subsequent press resulting from the expansion was the inspiration for this report. The topic area of this report is historic preservation. Historic districts come with increased rules and regulations that can be seen as limiting a resident’s use of the properties within these districts. This report is concerned with the actual condition within a historic district with a central hypothesis that historic districts do have a positive association with property condition. In order to answer the research question, a multiple-case replication
explanatory case study was performed using the original landmark district boundaries and two
comparable nearby neighborhoods outside of the historic landmark district. The case study
utilized secondary sources and in-field observations to analyze seven researchable factors about the parcels within the study areas. These factors were compared and contrasted during the cross case analysis. To further the understanding of the study area, a detailed profile of the City of Independence, Missouri, was produced. This profile looked at the historical development of the city, as well as economic and demographic statistics. The theoretical framework behind historic districts was also analyzed for this report. It is beneficial to look at this question in order to
evaluate the potential implementation of a historic district that a planner may face in their
municipality such as whether historic preservation regulations should be maintained, expanded, or eliminated or a historic district should be put in place. The report ends with a conclusionary chapter including recommendations, lessons for planning professionals, and ideas for further research.

Full textAbstract:
The majority of studies of seventeenth- and eighteenth-century communities have examined either towns, the focus of social organization in New England, or counties, the equivalent for the Chesapeake. However, the parish, not the county, was the unit of government that dealt with the problems which affected seventeenth- and eighteenth- century Virginians. Because the parish served as a focus for the day to day activities of the majority of colonial Virginians, it seems logical to examine a parish community in order to learn about their lives. However, most of the Chesapeake historians have focused their studies on a county or several counties.;The following study focuses on the development of Charles Parish, York County, Virginia from 1630 to 1740 in order to contribute new information to what is already known about life in the early Chesapeake. A detailed approach based on biographical data about residents of Charles provides data about the impact of high mortality rates and immigration on the development of the parish community and its neighborhoods, the role that family members and neighbors played in associations, the different social levels within Charles and its neighborhoods, the ways in which local leaders exercised their power, and the impact of nearby Williamsburg and Yorktown on a rural area such as Charles Parish. The inclusion of all the free residents--women, free blacks, and small white planters, not just the successful white male planters--of Charles in a data base makes it possible to study the role of each group in the parish community. A variety of sources including the most complete birth and death registers extant for a seventeenth-century Virginia parish, colonial records, and court proceedings from York County furnish the necessary data to study the development of neighborhoods in Charles and the parish's connections to the other parishes in York County and the nearby counties.

This research study sets out to determine what incentives and programs are being utilized throughout the country and in Texas to keep historic residential neighborhoods maintained and vibrant. For this purpose, federal, state and local programs have been surveyed to discover what programs are being utilized and which might be successful in Texas cities. Also surveyed were prospective homebuyers to determine what incentives and maintenance assistance could induce them to purchase, or to consider purchasing, an older home versus a new home in a builder community. The responses of the prospective homebuyers survey indicates that there is a good deal of interest in older homes among prospective homebuyers. A program to assist them should be based on education, making pertinent information and resources available, and providing financial relief for those purchasing and rehabilitating an older or historic home.

Full textAbstract:
The River Bend neighborhood should be preserved as Binghampton Rural Historic District because it is a vestige of the Mormon colony of Binghampton and because it preserves part of the farming history of the Tucson basin. It reflects the pattern of both Mormon agrarian colonization and western settlement. Reminders of the original Mormon farmers exist in the form of fence lines, tree lined roads, orchards, and irrigation ditches. Unpaved, straight streets are aligned with the cardinal directions. The clustering of buildings in a comparatively large open space is characteristic of the spatial arrangement of rural Mormon landscapes. A survey of residents indicates a majority support the petition to become a historic district, but rezoning is a political process which will require the neighborhood to use a multi-faceted approach to achieve protection.
