Master of Regional and Community Planning / Department of Landscape Architecture/Regional and Community Planning / John W. Keller / Transportation is a means of commutation for goods and people and is also an indicator of socioeconomic status of a community. Recently, there has been much debate and research on the impact of transportation on the health care of a community. Lately, it has been proved that increased dependence of people on cars has led to lack of exercise in their daily life. This lack of exercise has been identified as the root cause of severe cardiovascular ailments like high blood pressure, hypertension and even several types of cancers. As a solution, many planners are now proposing public transit (which forces people to walk to and from transit stations) and other active modes of transport like bikes etc. as alternative transportation options to improve community health and reduce dependence on cars. These options not only help people incorporate exercise in their daily life but a reduction in car usage reduces the demand for parking spaces, traffic congestions, carbon footprints of communities and is fuel efficient. This project based in the City of Manhattan is aimed at suggesting measures to enhance the use of public transit among students at Kansas State University to help incorporate more exercise in their daily lives. The project encompassed an observational study to identify the options currently available for transit and factors which affected transit ridership in the city. The observational study was followed by discussion with a focus group to draw views and opinions. These opinions and views were included in a questionnaire for an online survey to identify areas or measures which were most likely to enhance transit ridership positively and cost effectively. This project provides suggestive guidelines regarding students’ opinion about transit in Manhattan. These suggestions could be used to guide policies and strategies for enhancing transit ridership in the city.

Esta pesquisa elege a questão das relações de gênero e da construção dos sujeitos femininos a fim de entrecruzar narrativa e personagens clariceanos como mote crítico ao discurso moderno que impôs identidades essencialistas e acabadas. Tem como objetivos: entender o lugar do gênero na produção clariceana, percebendo os processos de desconstrução das subjetividades femininas elaborados pela autora; identificar, à luz dos estudos pós-coloniais, os trânsitos, a hibridez e a indecidibilidade das identidades contemporâneas e femininas, no recurso aos instrumentais analíticos de Gayatri Spivak (2012), Stuart Hall (2014), Homi Bhabha (2013), Judith Butler (1998), Toril Moi (2006), Karina Bidaseca (2003), María Lugones (2010), Aníbal Quijano (2013), dentre outros. Para tanto, foram eleitas obras que narram real ou metaforicamente a experiência das fronteiras, margens e deslocamentos, a saber: os contos A Fuga, Viagem a Petrópolis, A partida do trem, A Língua do P e Ele me bebeu. Propomos a potencialidade analítica dos textos de Clarice para os debates mais recentes nas teorias feministas, a despeito da impossibilidade de classificar a autora em quaisquer rótulos. Também, concluímos pela pertinência de inquietações acerca das persistentes colonialidades do poder, do saber e do ser, sobretudo, na ênfase à subalternidade e ao silenciamento de gênero, não poucas vezes, na intersecção com a classe, a região de origem e a geração.

Metropolitan transportation is the movement of persons and goods within the metropolitan region. The transportation movement results from a demand for interaction amongst specialized activities carried out of the land, and therefore transportation is a function of land utilization. However, the supply of transportation facilities in turn enables a further specialization of urban functions and helps to determine the future use of land. There is therefore a two directional relationship between transportation systems and land use, which must be considered in the metropolitan transportation planning process. Moreover, there is change in the relationship to land use with a change in the transportation mode. For an effective utilization of metropolitan space, and to allow the land to be exploited to its maximum extent, all systems of transportation must be integrated. Therefore, the transportation planning process must effectively integrate all systems. The integration of land use and transportation networks, and the integration and optimization of transportation systems can only be accomplished efficiently if the proposals can be implemented within a comprehensive development policy. Because the transportation network transcends any fragmented political jurisdictions within the metropolitan area, transportation policy must stem from the coordination of all relevant technical agencies and political jurisdictions within the metropolitan area. An examination of the metropolitan transportation process by an analysis of so-called major transportation studies in nine selected metropolitan regions in the United States and Canada shows a historical trend toward an integration of transportation systems and land use by means of a coordinated approach. The first studies considered only the one directional effect of land use on transportation movement, while the later, more sophisticated studies approach a systems analysis of the inter-relationship of transportation and land use, and incorporate provisions for evaluation of the systems by means of alternative land use, transportation plans. A plan of public transportation has been an inherent part of the later studies, but no attempt has been made of inter-systems analyses of all modes. The hypothesis of the thesis is that "transportation systems have an influence on land use and therefore metropolitan transportation planning should constitute an integral component of a comprehensive metropolitan development policy". An examination of the legal and financial framework and the formal organizational structure of the selected major transportation studies shows that the historical trend supports this hypothesis. The United States government has changed from a "highways-only" policy of federal-aid to a policy of aid for transportation planning conditional upon a comprehensive transportation planning process, and provides funds for land use planning and public transportation planning integrated with a comprehensive plan. The Government of Canada has had only a minor influence on metropolitan transportation planning, but at least two provinces show a willingness to support metropolitan transportation planning on an integrated basis. A major transportation study is administered by an investigative agency consisting of a Policy Committee and a Technical Committee. Changes in the administrative structure over time has reflected the legislative comprehensiveness, the need to incorporate the transportation planning process into the governmental process, and the necessity to become continuous. It is concluded that metropolitan transportation planning must be conducted by a special purpose coordinating agency which is politically representative, comprehensive, and continuous. The major administrative alternative, federated metropolitan government, is not feasible because the areal scope of metropolitan transportation planning exceeds the limit which could logically be governed by a single municipal government. A small Executive Committee consisting of Cabinet Ministers and municipal representation, with a Metropolitan Transportation Policy Committee and a Technical Director is suggested to coordinate the fragmented agencies and political jurisdictions in the metropolitan region. Comprehensiveness is obtained by the integration of the regional planning process into the transportation planning hierarchy. / Applied Science, Faculty of / Community and Regional Planning (SCARP), School of / Graduate
