Urban and regional planning has a contribution to make toward improving pedestrian safety, particularly in view of the fact that about 273,000 pedestrians were killed road traffic crashes 2010. The is built environments should enhance safety security for pedestrians, but this ideal not always case. This article presents an overview evidence on risks face environment. shows design roadway development different land uses can either increase or reduce injury. Planners need modify environment...
Abstract Urbanization, climate, and ecosystem change represent major challenges for managing water resources. Although systems are complex, a need exists generalized representation of these to identify important components linkages guide scientific inquiry aid management. We developed an integrated Structure‐Actor‐Water framework ( iSAW ) facilitate the understanding transitions sustainable systems. Our goal was produce interdisciplinary resources research that could address management...
Problem, research strategy, and findings Small towns cities outside of national parks, scenic public lands, other natural amenities throughout the western United States are becoming increasingly popular places to live visit. As a result, many these gateway communities appear be experiencing range pressures challenges. In this study we draw on results in-depth interviews with 33 officials survey more than 300 shed light planning development concerns across communities. Our indicate that...
This study uses journey-to-work data from urban census tracts across the United States to investigate whether people living and working in same area is related job–worker balance or income jobs. The results indicate that more live work commute shed if there matching.
In this study we analyse how three cities in the arid Americas have addressed urban growth while facing water scarcity: Hermosillo, Mexico; Mendoza, Argentina; and Tucson, USA. We use security framework to examine five domains of management: sociodemographic, economic, technological, ecological governance (SETEG). Our analysis indicates that, spite scarcity, has been promoted cities. argue that expansion, although encouraged for economic development, is not sustainable long term. cities,...
Slow Streets promote walkability and provide safe spaces for active travel recreation by minimizing vehicle traffic on roads. Their effectiveness was tested when the City of Tucson implemented temporarily closing certain neighbourhood streets to all but local traffic, giving people more space safely walk, run, bicycle. Using a quasi-experimental research design, it possible measure differences in walking bicycling between control streets. Results show are effective increasing number streets,...
In this paper we examine whether land-cover measures derived from multi-spectral (MS) imagery in combination with light detection and ranging (LiDAR) data sources better predict parcel scale urban water consumption than solely MS imagery. Land-cover such as the percentage of impervious surface vegetative cover are important predictors household level use. This study found that additional effort required to obtain LiDAR does not appear add predictive power for demand modeling. We suggest is...
Problem, research strategy, and findings: Cities across the United States must have reliable consistent water supplies to support public health, promote economic growth, protect environment. The way we build design cities influences consumption patterns; however, most significant factors of built environment their associations with use are not well explored. In this study seek reveal ways in which characteristics influence urban use. We analyze spatially detailed data sets four different...
Traditional urban planning projects require considerable time, political buy-in, and capital. Conversely, small-scale interventions can be executed quickly inexpensively. However, the terms used to describe these projects—such as tactical, pop-up, temporary, or insurgent urbanism—are numerous overlapping, making them hard distinguish from each other. We suggest that a single unifying term, punctual urbanism, capture different urbanisms. To justify this choice, we provide definitions...
