"Education, to which so much importance is attached in our democratic society, is of doubtful value if it does not produce people who can think clearly in quantitative terms about the social problems affecting the nation and themselves. In order to make a satisfactory adjustment to their environment it is necessary for them to obtain a knowledge of the social as well as the technological developments which have taken place in the community. To examine the role that science education in Mainland High School, at Daytona Beach, Florida, can play in accomplishing these objectives is the purpose of this paper"--Introduction. / Typescript. / "June, 1953." / "Submitted to the Graduate Council of Florida State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science." / Advisor: H.

Anyone who has been tempted to cross a beach or walk along a beach is aware of the potential conflicts that can arise between pedestrians and vehicles. The competing use of the beach space results in conflicts between vehicles and pedestrians; many times the pedestrian's disregard for signed pedestrian safety provisions in the close vicinity and on the space allocated for car lanes results in avoidable conflicts. This report addresses the pedestrian and vehicle interaction at Daytona Beach in Volusia County of the State of Florida. This report has consolidated accident data for the period January 1, 1977 through July 22, 1979. The information was obtained through the Volusia county Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles. Based on this information, suggestions have been given for continued improvement of the traffic accident situation at Daytona Beach.
