Flooding is a major threat to coastal and inland communities in the state of Florida. There are a variety of reasons for the increasing risk of flooding, such as hurricanes, torrential downpours, sea level rise, and storm surge/tides. This paper will focus on Nassau County, the most northeastern county in the state. While the area is affected by most of the aforementioned flood become more prominent over the years and will continue to impact the safety and well-being of coastal communities. In this context, planning for the future entails conducting multi-hazard analysis of risks posed by current and future storm events. This study undertakes a comprehensive analysis of flood risks in Nassau County, Florida, and examines current and future zoning and land use plans and buildings codes to provide science-based recommendations for addressing these risks. / Includes bibliography. / Thesis (MURP)--Florida Atlantic University, 2021. / FAU Electronic Theses and Dissertations Collection

Ao se estabelecerem, instituíramuma prática político-administrativa que foimudando ao longo dos anos e teve como centro o Recife. O trabalho em questão abrange desde 1630 até os primeiros anos da administração de Maurício de Nassau (1639-40). Vale ressaltar que os primeiros anos de administração forammarcados por constantes guerras emque os exércitos da Companhia das Índias Ocidentais (WIC) praticamente ficaram restritos a poucos pontos do litoral. Dentro e fora do Recife, a administração do Politicque Raden (conselho Político) experimentou alguns sucessos e infortúnios. Entre os sucessos, o estabelecimento de umsistema de comunicação pelos rios do Nordeste oriental através da utilização de embarcações pequenas como iates (jatches) e chalupas (chaloupen). Como infortúnios, entre outros, estavam as dificuldades em abastecer os soldados com víveres e vestimentas. O período nassoviano (1637-1644), caracterizado grande modo pela historiografia como uma época de realizações administrativas que o colocaram(Maurício deNassau) numa condição de um grande governante. Todavia, a documentação daWIC no Brasil nos mostra um constante estado de desconforto entre a administração superior e a população local. Logo, não podemos desconsiderar, para os primeiros anos da administração holandesa no Brasil, algumas conquistas, enquanto que para os anos do governo nassoviano, temos a crise como uma constante

Housing is one of the major problems in North America This problem becomes more acute daily in the urban centers as (1) the population explosion continues; (2) the process of urbanization increases; and (3) new household units are formed in greater numbers. Although in the United States and Canada there is no street sleeping and squatting as there is in India and other countries of Asia and South America, nevertheless, the inadequate conditions of housing of the slums and blighted areas result partially from the pressure for shelter caused by these three demographical factors. The problem of housing is essentially a problem of enabling every citizen to obtain decent accommodation at a price that he can afford. In addition to the demographic factors already mentioned, other dimensions of complexity of this problem are contributed by the fact that housing deficiencies correlate closely with low income levels, inferior employment and educational opportunities, and frequently, racial discrimination. This problem is further compounded by the increasing cost of housing construction. The search for further solutions to alleviate the housing problem, and the realization of the inter-relationship of housing standards, housing costs, and income led to the study hypothesis: That there is a certain family income level below which adequate housing cannot be obtained without assistance. A technological break-through in the housing industry can ease considerably the present housing problem. Of all man's necessities, however, housing has seen the fewest production changes in recent centuries. Until such breakthrough is achieved the existing resources must be used to combat the problem. Since the "New Deal" of the 1930's both the governments of Canada and the United States have actively participated in housing assistance and support programs. These programs, however, have not assisted the low income groups as much as the middle and upper income groups. Of over 73,000 FHA applications in 1967 only 5,000 were for a variety of social purposes which included low-income housing. The housing codes, urban renewal programs, and public housing projects have not yet sufficed to provide every North American family with a home of adequate standards. Governor Otto Kerner of Illinois, head of the Commission on a Civil Disorder, regards poor housing as one of the major causes of the social problems now facing almost every American city. A recent HUD study forecasts a need, greatest among the urban poor, for 22.5 million units of new housing in the next decade. The question is, how can this need be met? This study essentially reviews some of the methods by which government can assist low income families and households in obtaining adequate housing. The review begins with an examination of the nature of the housing problems in which the inter-relationship of housing standards, housing costs, and family incomes are analysed and evaluated. The conclusions from the review were; (1) that the costs of housing increase with the level of standard, and (2) that family income was the primary obstacle to adequate housing. The significant findings have been that a wider choice of methods of housing assistance can be adopted, as well as a wider choice of type and tenure of accommodations. Such range of choice can alleviate many of the present problems in urban renewal and relocation programs and most of all reduce the need for substandard dwelling units. In view of these findings and recognizing that adequate housing is in the interest of the family, the community, and the nation, the thesis investigates some of the ways by which the amount and method of assistance required by the low income groups may be determined if they are to be housed adequately. By means of the case study method the hypothesis was tested and verified. The most significant conclusion drawn from the case study is the substantiation of the validity of the hypothesis: That there is a certain family income level below which adequate housing cannot be obtained without assistance. This income level is established by the cost of minimum standard of socially and officially accepted housing. The measurement of this income level is therefore dependent on two factors: (1) determining what is the minimum housing standard for a family, with due regards to family size, and existing social, cultural, and official attitudes; and (2) determining what is the minimum cost of such standard of housing, with due regards to existing construction methodology and practices, technological skills, and available materials. / Applied Science, Faculty of / Community and Regional Planning (SCARP), School of / Graduate

O primeiro capítulo contextualiza como se formou o expansionismo imperialista holandês e como a conquista do Brasil passou a ser prioritária para os interesses econômicos da Companhia das Índias Ocidentais (WIC) e como ponto estratégico no domínio naval do Atlântico. O segundo capítulo destaca os aspectos humanistas e pragmáticos do conde Nassau e como sua ação administrativa pode ser considerada um fenômeno administrativo. O terceiro capítulo analisa os referenciais teóricos das novas possibilidades de estudos administrativos considerando a dimensão histórica como parte integrante e indissolúvel da realidade organizacional como alternativa ao paradigma positivista. Nele também são analisados os referenciais teóricos sobre estratégia. O quarto e último capítulo faz o cotejamento entre o referencial teórico analisado e os determinantes e características da estratégia nassoviana, mostrando que ela foi singular e inovadora para época em que aconteceu. A pesquisa buscou primordialmente mostrar que a ação administrativa de Nassau foi baseada numa estratégia empreendedora de cunho carismático cujo caminho trilhado foi o de gerar sentimento de saudade no imaginário popular dos seus governados e descendentes. / This work aims to address the management strategy of Count Maurice of Nassau when Dutch ruled Brazil between 1637 and 1644. The first chapter contextualizes how it formed the imperialist expansionism and how the Dutch conquest of Brazil has become a priority for the economic interests of the West India Company (WIC) and as a strategic naval dominance in the Atlantic. The second chapter focuses on the humanistic and pragmatic aspects of Count Nassau and its administrative action as may be considered an administrative phenomenon. The third chapter examines the theoretical possibilities of the new administrative studies considering the historical dimension as an integral and inseparable from organizational reality as an alternative to the positivist paradigm. In it are also analyzed on the theoretical strategy. The fourth and final chapter makes the comparison between the theoretical analysis and the determinants and characteristics of Nassau strategy, showing that it was unique and innovative for the time it happened. The research sought primarily to show that the administrative action of Nassau was based on a strategy of stamp charismatic entrepreneur whose path taken was to generate feelings of nostalgia in the popular imagination of the governed and descendants.

O problema que se procura entender é o processo de formação de um conjunto de conhecimento sobre o Novo Mundo na Holanda seiscentista. Iniciado já no século XVI, quando mercadores flamengos e holandeses faziam comércio nas costas da América Portuguesa, este processo ganhou enorme impulso a partir do estabelecimento da colônia holandesa no nordeste do Brasil em 1630. Para entender como os encontros coloniais e as trocas de objetos naquele período geraram um conjunto de saberes coloniais, tomamos como objeto de estudo a coleção de curiosidades do conde Johan Maurits van Nassau-Siegen (1604-1679), que foi governador do Brasil holandês entre 1637 e 1644. Neste período, Nassau montou uma coleção particular que incluía espécies naturais, artefatos e representações visuais da natureza, paisagem e dos habitantes da colônia. Buscou-se, desta forma, identificar quais objetos faziam parte da coleção, descobrir como Nassau os adquiriu e, mais importante, entender qual sentido e quais usos ele dava a ela. As fontes utilizadas foram os próprios objetos que fizeram parte da coleção nassoviana e que hoje ainda existem e estão dispersos por museus e bibliotecas européias, bem como livros publicados na Holanda sobre o Novo Mundo; diários e relatos de pessoas que estiveram no Brasil a serviço de Nassau ou da Companhia das Índias Ocidentais; correspondência e relatos de membros da corte holandesa. As conclusões desta tese dizem respeito à maneira como o conde de Nassau construiu sua carreira política na Europa depois e a partir de sua experiência no Brasil, assim como à natureza dinâmica da construção dos saberes coloniais, compostos por camadas de experiências dos mais diversos sujeitos. / Abstract: The theme of this dissertation is the circulation of people, objects and knowledge between Portuguese America and The Netherlands in the seventeenth century. Its aim is to understand how knowledge about the New World was assembled in seventeenth century Holland. This process of assembling colonial knowledge had already begun in the sixteenth century, when Flemish and Dutch merchants traded sugar and other goods in South American coasts. It gained momentum, however, after the establishment of a Dutch colony in the northeastern coast of Brazil in 1630. In order to understand how the colonial encounters and the exchange of objects helped to create and shape Dutch knowledge about the New World, this dissertation presents an analysis of the collection of curiosities owned by count Johan Maurits van Nassau-Siegen (1604-1679), who was governor-general to the Dutch colony in Brazil between 1637 and 1644. In that period, Nassau assembled a private collection that included natural species, artifacts, and visual representations of the colony's natural world, landscape, and inhabitants. Therefore, in this dissertation we attempted to identify, as far as possible, which objects composed the collection, how Nassau acquired them and, more importantly, the meanings and usages ascribed to the count's collection. This research relied on the remaining objects that comprised Nassau's collection, which are today scattered in European museums and libraries. Likewise, books about the New World published in Holland; journals and reports written by people who were in Brazil in the service of Nassau or of the Dutch West India Company; and correspondence and narratives by members of the Dutch court were used as sources. The conclusions presented in this dissertation refer to the way through which Nassau conducted his political carrier in Europe after and because of his experience in Brazil, as well as to the dynamic nature of the construction of colonial knowledge, composed of layers of experiences. / Doutorado / Antropologia / Doutor em Ciências Sociais

Fish populations are regulated by both external environmental factors, e.g., water quality parameters and habitat, and internal reproductive biology and physiology processes. For many species and populations there is often ample external information, while critical internal, i.e., life-history trait (LHT), information is not available. For this study, I determined LHTs and energy allocation patterns for Epinephelus guttatus (red hind), E. striatus (Nassau grouper), and Mycteroperca venenosa (yellowfin grouper) harvested from The Bahamas. I determined age ranges, and how growth patterns and rates differed among the study species. The maximum ages were: 17, E. guttatus; 22, E. striatus; and 13, M. venenosa. Epinephelus striatus was estimated to have the slowest, while M. venenosa had the fastest growth rate. A gonad histological classification system and the ageing data were used to determine the spawning seasons, sex ratios, size and age of sexual maturation and sex change and gonadosomatic indices (GSIs) for the study species. The peak spawning months were January-February for E. guttatus, December-January for E. striatus and March-April for M. venenosa. The fifty-percent sexual maturity estimates were 235 total length mm (Tlmm) (2.05 year old, yo), 435 Tlmm (4.00 yo), and 561 Tlmm (4.66 yo) for E. guttatus, E. striatus and M. venenosa, respectively. The size and age range of sex change for E. guttatus was between 257-401 Tlmm, ~4-5 years old and between 716-871 Tlmm, ~8-9 yo for M. venenosa. I determined protein and lipid concentrations in muscle and gonad tissues to ascertain energy allocation patterns. For all species and sexes except for female E. guttatus, the proportion of energy delegated to somatic growth declines as a fish grows longer, while reproduction energy allocation increases. The results of each study were compared to previous studies conducted throughout the tropical western Atlantic Ocean, and were related to species-specific ecological and spawning behaviors. The findings of each study highlight that the LHTs of the study species greatly differ and these differences will impact population dynamics and need to be considered for management initiatives. In the final chapter, the effects of fishing on LHTs are reviewed and fishery management options are discussed.
