Resumen

La Casa Blanca (The White House) is the old fortress house of Juan Ponce de Leon’s family, located in the city of San Juan Bautista de Puerto Rico also known as Old San Juan. The house was originally built in the early 1500s as one of the first permanent constructions on the islet of San Juan. Both the house and its grounds have undergone several physical changes through their almost 500 years of existence. The house (which today is a museum) has been restored and documented, including the surrounding buildings which were built during the 17th and 18th Centuries and which form the Casa Blanca building complex.Today several garden areas exist on the grounds of Casa Blanca. These gardens have the potential to enhance the site more than they do presently, not only in the aesthetic experience that the visitor to Casa Blanca could have because of the beauty of the place, but also in the experience of history and legend associated with Juan Ponce de Leon.Lamentably, with the possible exception of the Hispano-Moorish garden located next to the central patio of Casa Blanca, the remaining garden areas have not been formally documented for purposes of correct design development or so that the visitor may appreciate and understand their history. In this creative project the author has documented all the information available on Casa Blanca and its gardens from written sources, plans, and from oral interviews obtained in Puerto Rico and the United States.The original intent of the author was not only to document the gardens and grounds of Casa Blanca, but also to create a restoration/rehabilitation design for the best use of this area. This scheme would be in accordance with their historic, legendary, and aesthetic relationship to Casa Blanca and Old San Juan as part of the total cultural heritage of Puerto Rico. Instead, this research of Casa Blanca's gardens' history in itself became the focus of the creative project due to the large amount of time and effort necessary to locate and compile the information. A rehabilitation design plan was not possible in the time frame for this project. However, this investigation opened new areas of study, as it dealt with the overall unrecorded garden history of Puerto Rico which was essential to document before a restoration/rehabilitation plan could be made. The author hopes that this study, as the first documentation of a Puerto Rican garden, will initiate the recording of the total garden history of Puerto Rico.

This thesis addresses the question whether and how a large transportation infrastructure, in this case a port, can co-exist with a large metropolitan area. The case study analyzed is the redevelopment of the port and waterfront of San Juan, Puerto Rico. The first part reviews how the undergoing changes in the shipping and cruise industry affect ports and cities. It also reviews the developments currently proposed along the waterfront of San Juan. The second part develops a Trip Generation Distribution Computerized Model. This model proposes a methodology to analyze the traffic impact the proposed developments have on the overall roadway network. The third part constitutes an Urban Design and Land Use proposal for a district of the San Juan metropolitan area, Isla Grande. The conceptual transit-oriented development proposal shows a way to accommodate growth that benefits the city and the port, while contributing to alleviate traffic problems. As a contribution to enhance communication between all the stakeholders, a Web Site is developed as part of this thesis. Key Words: Puerto Rico, Port Planning, Cruise Industry, Waterfronts, Traffic Modeling, Urban Transportation, Urban Design, Land Use Planning, Transit Oriented Development.

San Juan, Puerto Rico, like many North American cities, has turned to rail lines as a solution to the mounting traffic congestion threatening the urban environment. However, a rail system must rely on other transit modes to provide feeder services in order to expand its reach and broaden its customer base. This requires intermodal integration. The challenge facing the future success of Tren Urbano, the new rail system projected to open in the next two years, is the integration of the publicos. The publico is the owner operated jitney service indigenous to Puerto Rico that the government anticipates will offer crucial feeder services to Tren Urbano. For intermodal integration to succeed, publicos must offer comparable service quality. Unfortunately, the service quality of publico transit is poor as a consequence of the long-term decline of the publico industry. Therefore, the goal of the government is to improve publico service quality so it is comparable with the rest of the transit system, while recognizing the unique owner operator quality of the industry. This thesis examines four different jitney systems in North America. The study documents the development of the jitney service, how different cities govern jitney operators, and what affect the governance structure has on the quality of service. The purpose of this study is to determine what kind of governance structure leads to a high quality of jitney service. The study also examines what other factors contribute to high quality service. The ultimate goal is to apply the findings to San Juan, Puerto Rico in order to define future publico reforms. The case studies illustrate that North American jitney services all rely on hybrid governance models, consisting of government controls and self-regulating mechanisms. The study suggests that a hybrid governance structure that is based on cooperation between operators and government regulators leads to superior service quality. However, service quality is not merely a function of governance structure. Service quality also depends on the profitability of the jitney service, institutional strength, and the context of the industry. In a highly profitable setting, industry actors will spontaneously mobilize and provide a high quality of service. Consequently, the recommendations from this study examine ways of improving the profitability of the publico industry in order to improve the quality of service. In an unprofitable environment, the government must take the lead in developing other strategies to encourage service quality improvements. The recommendations in this study also suggests that the government proactively assist the publico industry improve service quality though various institutional and governance strategies.

The old alluvium underlying much of metropolitan San Juan was formed in early Pleistocene and has undergone substantial post-depositional weathering in the tropical climate of Puerto Rico, resulting in a special combination of soil mineralogy and structure, with very unusual engineering properties. The soil mineralogy was determined both qualitatively and quantitatively by a series of analytical techniques, consisting of X-ray diffraction, thermal analysis, X-ray fluorescence, and chemical analyses including cation exchange capacity (CEC), soil pH, and selective chemical dissolutions (SCD). Results show that the old alluvium contains: (1) two most weathering resistant primary minerals: quartz and orthoclase; (2) kaolinite and smectites as major clay minerals; and (3) Fe-oxides (goethite and hematite) as special fine-grained minerals, which give the soil distinct red, brown, and yellow coloration. The subsequent quantitative analysis yields high accuracy results, such that the identified mineral phases account for 94-95% of the bulk material. Characterization of soil microstructure also used a variety of techniques including environmental scanning electron microscope (ESEM), slaking tests, CEC, and SCD of Fe-oxides. The results reveal an aggregate structure comprising groups of clay platelets, which each consist of clay particles associated with face-to-face contact. Cementation and aggregation agents are positively identified by SCD as Fe-oxides, which form coatings over clay platelets and aggregates, and bridge bonding between aggregates. These results were confirmed by slake tests in water and glycerol.
(cont.) Index properties vary due to the microstructure. Particle size distribution and Atterberg limits are affected by remolding energy and drying conditions, resulting in difficulties for soil classification. The combination of mineralogy and structure, cause the consolidation behavior to differ from conventional sedimentary soil behavior in the following aspects: (1) the coefficient of consolidation decreases by four orders of magnitude as the sample is compressed to 300ksc; (2) the swelling strains increase significantly with maximum past consolidation pressure; (3) the intact soil exhibits an exceptionally high yield stress ([sigma][subscript]y [approximately equal to] 8ksc); and (4) vertical consolidation strains can be completely recovered upon unloading when samples are pre-loaded above the yield stress. Triaxial compression and extension shear tests on intact samples suggest that the intact shear strength can be described by a conventional Mohr-Coulomb criterion with an isotropic cohesive strength component. The current conceptual models of microstructure offer a framework for developing realistic constitutive models to describe the complex mechanical behavior of this complex residual soil.

Resumen

The purpose of this thesis is to evaluate and understand the growth of public works as part of urban development in San Juan, Puerto Rico, between 1765 and 1823. In San Juan, attaining basic provisions was complicated by distinctive circumstances such as the increasing population, administrative decisions, and financial limitations. This thesis draws from demography, medicine, urban studies, and primary documents to understand how the changes in San Juan’s established political, economic, demographic, and environmental systems allowed for the growth of public works to support the city’s population. With the introduction of economic and military Bourbon Reforms, the existing colonial system fractured, collapsing in the first decade of the nineteenth century from financial burdens, internal infrastructure decay, and the abdication of the Spanish king. Imperial loyalty and intra-monarchial attention to the general public altered Puerto Rico’s imperial role, establishing a new system that allowed public work and sanitation to thrive.

Resumen

[ES] Manuel Verdeguer Beltrán es el contrabajista español más relevante del siglo XX, con un gran reconocimiento en el continente americano. Nacido en 1908 en Valencia, comenzó tocando el violoncello y posteriormente se consagró como solista y pedagogo del contrabajo, elogiado, entre otros por los maestros Lamote de Grignon y Joaquín Turina. El estudio de la época en la que desarrolló su carrera artística en España nos ha permitido descubrir la crisis económica causada a los intérpretes por la desaparición del cine mudo, así como en el conocimiento del reglamento que regía las condiciones laborales de los músicos. Desempeñó el puesto de solista de contrabajo en la Orquesta Municipal de Valencia y de la Orquesta Nacional de Conciertos en el periodo de la república. Posteriormente ingresó en la Orquesta Nacional de España, creada en la época franquista. En 1953 abandonó España para ocupar los puestos de solista de la Orquesta Nacional de Colombia y de profesor del Conservatorio de Bogotá. Posteriormente se trasladó a Venezuela como solista de la Orquesta Sinfónica de Venezuela y profesor de la Escuela Superior de Música "José Ángel Lamas" de Venezuela. Invitado por el violonchelista Pau Casals fue nombrado catedrático del Conservatorio de Puerto Rico y solista de la Orquesta Sinfónica de Bogotá. Estrenó el conocido concierto de Tubin para contrabajo y orquesta realizando la primera grabación de dicho concierto No tuvo discípulos en España; pero sí que los tuvo en América, creando una prestigiosa escuela del contrabajo.

Born in 1908 in Valencia, he began playing the violoncello and subsequently consecrated himself as a soloist and pedagogue of the double bass, praised among others by the teachers Lamote de Grignon and Joaquín Turina The study of the time in which he developed his artistic career in Spain has allowed us to discover the economic crisis caused to the interpreters by the disappearance of silent films, as well as in the knowledge of the regulation that governed the working conditions of musicians. He played the double bass soloist position in the Municipal Orchestra of Valencia and the National Concert Orchestra in the period of the Republic. Later he joined the National Orchestra of Spain created in the Franco era. In 1953, he left Spain to occupy the positions of soloist of the National Orchestra of Colombia and professor at the Conservatory of Bogotá. Later he moved to Venezuela as soloist of the Symphony Orchestra of Venezuela and professor of the Higher School of Music "José Ángel Lamas" of Venezuela. Invited by cellist Pau Casals, he was appointed Professor of the Conservatory of Puerto Rico and soloist of the Symphony Orchestra of Bogotá. He premiered the famous Tubin concert for double bass and orchestra performing the first recording of that concert He had no disciples in Spain; but he did have them in America, creating a prestigious double bass school.

Resumen

The purpose of this study was to examine and expand upon the role the Programas de Orquestas Sinfonicas Juveniles (POSJU) experiences play in self-esteem and social skills. The research took place in Felipe Gutierrez y Espinoza School, one of ten POSJU centers, located in the San Juan, Puerto Rico. Thirty-eight students (N=38) aged 7 to 17 participated in this study. Participants rated their self-esteem and social skills using the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES) and the Social Skills Competence Checklist (SSCC). No significant differences between pre- and post-evaluations on RSES and. SSCC were found. For additional information, teachers evaluated all participants using the Teacher Student Report (TSR). Significant differences were found across the construct of social skills, but not self-esteem. Information regarding the POSJU after school program was collected from parents through a Parent Questionnaire Report (PQR). Overall, parents’ responses towards the program show satisfaction with POSJU.

Resumen

While the National Park Service is charged with interpreting and preserving areas designated as park resources, they must also manage environmental issues such as erosion resulting from climate change. This research sets out to narrate how Palo Seco, Puerto Rico, a neighboring community of the San Juan National Historic Site, perceives similar environmental conditions and motivations for addressing these issues. My research sits at the intersection between the park’s charter and understanding community implications of environmental changes that affect local heritage. Using Authorized Heritage Discourse and environmental justice as theoretical frameworks, I suggest that the National Park Service should include the observations of climate change from Palo Seco community to broaden Park Service’s understanding and preservation policies. I also recommend the National Park Service utilize cultural resource management guidelines to develop programs that facilitate collaborative research projects with the Palo Seco community to not only address mutual issues of climate changes but also document local heritage knowledge that can enhance the Park’s interpretation and preservation efforts.

Resumen

Esta tesis doctoral gira en torno a las medidas disciplinarias que se establecieron antes, durante y después del embate de la epidemia de cólera en la ciudad amurallada de San Juan, Puerto Rico, entre los años 1854 y 1856, con miras a resaltar las nociones del poder, biopolítica, sanidad, higiene, marginación y desarrollo urbano. El análisis exhaustivo de las Actas del Cabildo de la ciudad de San Juan fue fundamental para determinar cuán preparadas estaban las autoridades civiles, militares y sanitarias durante el periodo de estudio. A través de su revisión, se observa cómo los cabilderos, atendían el problema de la presencia de los bohíos en la Capital, considerados como focos de contagio y propagación de enfermedades. Desde antes que llegara la epidemia de cólera a San Juan, las autoridades buscaban la manera de eliminar los bohíos existentes dentro de la ciudad amurallada. El uso de una biopolítica por las autoridades, entiéndase como “la política de la salud del pueblo”, justificaron y señalaron que estas viviendas representaban ser un peligro para la población sanjuanera. Algunos historiadores afirman que fallecieron aproximadamente 500 personas de diferentes “castas” en la ciudad de San Juan por el cólera. Según los datos obtenidos del Libro de Defunciones de la Catedral de San Juan los resultados son distintos. Toda persona fallecida por la epidemia de cólera fue enterrada en fosas comunes llamadas cementerios colerientos. La hipótesis planteada durante esta investigación establece que la epidemia de cólera fue el agente catalítico para crear pánico en la ciudad de San Juan y así ejercer la presión necesaria para eliminar los bohíos y a los habitantes considerados como focos de enfermedades contagiosas.

Employer-based transportation demand management measures are increasingly seen by transportation planners as one of the potential means to manage the demand for private transport. These measures are essentially a comprehensive package of incentives and disincentives targeted at employees to encourage high occupancy vehicle commute as opposed to single occupancy vehicle travel. This research examines the composition of employer transportation plans and their application with respect to encouraging public transportation ridership. Drawing on the experiences of employer transportation plans in three cities - St. Louis, Missouri, San Diego, California and the Longwood Medical Area, Boston, Massachusetts, this research argues that there are a number of preconditions which will make an employer transportation plan more likely to succeed in its aim of reducing the number of people who drive alone to work. These include providing strong management support to the program, providing adequate resources to the program - both financial and other, public-private coalition development whereby employers can partner with transit properties to build system ridership by attracting choice riders, an aggressive employee transportation coordinator and providing appropriate incentives and disincentives to employees. Other key considerations are the availability of parking, the cost of parking and access to a high-quality public transportation system. Finally, this thesis recommends an implementation strategy for establishing employer transportation plans in San Juan, Puerto Rico. In response to the increasing traffic congestion in San Juan, Puerto Rico, a mass transit system, the Tren Urbano, is currently being constructed. There is a need to resort to travel demand management measures in San Juan because of severe traffic congestion. The arrival of Tren Urbano provides many opportunities for employers to partner with regional transportation service providers in building the transit system ridership by implementing employer supported travel demand management measures at the worksite. Taking the examples of two large employers, the Banco Popular and the Centro Medico, in San Juan, this research outlines an execution strategy for employer transportation plans in San Juan.

Resumen

abstract: With more than 70 percent of the world's population expected to live in cities by 2050, it behooves us to understand urban sustainability and improve the capacity of city planners and policymakers to achieve sustainable goals. Producing and linking knowledge to action is a key tenet of sustainability science. This dissertation examines how knowledge-action systems -- the networks of actors involved in the production, sharing and use of policy-relevant knowledge -- work in order to inform what capacities are necessary to effectively attain sustainable outcomes. Little is known about how knowledge-action systems work in cities and how they should be designed to address their complexity. I examined this question in the context of land use and green area governance in San Juan, Puerto Rico, where political conflict exists over extensive development, particularly over the city's remaining green areas. I developed and applied an interdisciplinary framework -- the Knowledge-Action System Analysis (KASA) Framework --that integrates concepts of social network analysis and knowledge co-production (i.e., epistemic cultures and boundary work). Implementation of the framework involved multiple methods --surveys, interviews, participant observations, and document--to gather and analyze quantitative and qualitative data. Results from the analysis revealed a diverse network of actors contributing different types of knowledge, thus showing a potential in governance for creativity and innovation. These capacities, however, are hindered by various political and cultural factors, such as: 1) breakdown in vertical knowledge flow between state, city, and local actors; 2) four divergent visions of San Juan's future emerging from distinct epistemic cultures; 3) extensive boundary work by multiple actors to separate knowledge and planning activities, and attain legitimacy and credibility in the process; 4) and hierarchies of knowledge where outside expertise (e.g., private planning and architectural firms) is privileged over others, thus reflecting competing knowledge systems in land use and green area planning in San Juan. I propose a set of criteria for building just and effective knowledge-action systems for cities, including: context and inclusiveness, adaptability and reflexivity, and polycentricity. In this way, this study also makes theoretical contributions to the knowledge systems literature specifically, and urban sustainability in general.
