Comparing Methods for Estimation of Daytime Population in Downtown Indianapolis, IndianaBell, Karen Denise 23 August 2011 (has links)
Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) / This paper compares two new methods for estimating daytime population against two existing models within downtown Indianapolis in Marion County, Indiana. The two existing models consist of the 2009 USA Daytime Population model created by ESRI and the LandScan Global Population Project developed by the Oak Ridge National Laboratory. A parking study of downtown Indianapolis, as prepared by the City of Indianapolis, Division of Metropolitan Development, is the basis of the first new method of estimating daytime population. The second method is a direct count of the daytime population using a methodology previously developed. Additionally, these four population estimates will be compared when applied to a scenario involving a hypothetical toxic gas plume.

Hoosier commuters : the effects of the streetcar and interurban system on the suburban growth of Indianapolis / Title of photocopy map: Evolution of the streetcar and Interurban lines in IndianapolisCunningham, Amy Lynn January 2001 (has links)
At the turn of the 19th century, cities were vibrant with strong economies, increasing populations, large building movements and most importantly, technological innovations. Availability of frequent and efficient transportation was key to the sustenance and growth of cities. This thesis is an exploration of the impact the street and interurban railway systems made on the city of Indianapolis and its suburbs during their heyday of service between 1864 and 1930.To verify the value of railway locations in relation to the direction of Indianapolis suburb growth, an effort to conduct quantifiable research was applied. First, population growth in Marion County, Indiana and its surrounding eight counties was studied. Evidence of significant growth in areas served by streetcar and interurban systems in comparison to areas that were served only by steam railroad or no service were highlighted. Second, historical land use change research was conducted to determine how land along Indianapolis corridors served by the streetcar railway system was affected by the introduction of such service. Finally, a review of popular response to the systems was undertaken to better understand the effects of the railways on the population. / Department of Architecture

Charter schools and neighborhood revitalization in Indianapolis (2000-2010)Marking, Janea L. January 2014 (has links)
Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI / Charter schools are a major movement in American education and increasingly used as a city strategy for neighborhood rehabilitation. Indianapolis is one of a growing number of urban areas to promote charter schools as catalysts for neighborhood revitalization. Previous studies find mixed results about the causes of neighborhood change or how residents make mobility decisions. The present study seeks to create an empirical model that discovers the impact of charter schools as a neighborhood amenity. This is based on two measures of well-being: change in percentage poverty and change in percentage school-aged residents. Data indicate a negative relationship between charter schools in a census tract and the school-aged resident population. However, statistical analysis did not support a significant relationship between either measure and charter schools in the ten year time frame.

Cultural tourism investment and resident quality of life : a case study of Indianapolis, IndianaGullion, Christopher Scott 10 December 2013 (has links)
Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) / This thesis will explore issues concerning cultural tourism investment and resident quality of life in the Midwestern city of Indianapolis, Indiana. It is important to understand from a cultural tourism perspective how further attempts to grow and invest in tourism will affect resident perception of quality of life and future cultural tourism investment. To achieve this goal, data from the 2012 Indianapolis Quality of Life survey was statistically analyzed to specifically examine how residents' perceived quality of life affects cultural tourism investment. This allows for the study of what city-service attributes (i.e. safety, attractions, transportation, et cetera) identify as potential indicators of whether residents' perception of quality of life affects cultural tourism investment and if there were any correlations between demographic factors of age, gender, ethnicity, and household income with the perception that investing in cultural events and attractions for tourists is good for residents. Results indicated that several key city-service attributes identify as potential indicators of whether residents' perception of quality of life in Indianapolis affects residents' perceptions that investing in cultural tourism for tourists is good for residents. In addition, several key city-service attributes identified as potential indicators of residents' perception of quality of life in Indianapolis excluding perceptions of cultural tourism investment. Finally, results indicated that demographic factors of gender, age, ethnicity, and income were not significant when it came to affecting the perception that investing in cultural events and attractions for tourists is good for residents.
