The Changing Role of Downtowns: An Examination of the Condition of Cities and Methods to Reinvent the Urban CoreByrd, Kevin Ryan 01 June 2004 (has links)
Downtowns across America have changed as a result of suburbanization. Population shifts and changing land consumption patterns caused by advancements in technology, such as the Interstate and the Internet, along with social and economic factors, alter downtown development. The city, and particularly its downtown, used to represent the nucleus for all commercial, retail, and industrial activities. As population and commerce suburbanized, the 'central' business district became one of several business centers and lost much of its retail function. Currently, cities are re-evaluating their development strategies to determine the best methods to attract people back to the urban core and to regain the vitality that once defined city life.
Efforts to redevelop downtowns typically assume the characteristics of place-based strategies by following either infrastructure strategies or consumer strategies. The former method is more traditional, with attention given to specific land uses, such as residential, retail, or entertainment activities. Essentially, infrastructure strategies rely on the 'build it and they will come' motto. Consumer strategies strive to attract young professionals, single-parent families, and "empty nesters" for urban living by accentuating amenities unique to the city lifestyle.
Roanoke, Virginia serves as a case study for evaluating suburbanization trends and methods of redevelopment for a small- to medium-sized city. By calculating and analyzing household and office employment projections, the Roanoke market shows signs of strength among young, renter households and Central Business District office employment. With a downtown residential market emerging and downtown office employment growing, adaptive reuse of urban space may prove to be Roanoke's method of reinventing its downtown by orchestrating a consumer-based redevelopment effort. / Master of Urban and Regional Planning

The Role of District Leaders in Improving Achievement and Equity: How Leaders Generate WillLawson, Catherine L. January 2016 (has links)
Thesis advisor: Vincent Cho / District leaders are under tremendous pressure to narrow persisting achievement disparities with a dearth of guidance from existing literature. Rorrer, Skrla, and Scheurich (2008) proposed a theory that district leaders enact four essential roles when engaging in systemic reform that improves achievement and equity: (1) providing instructional leadership which consists of building capacity and generating will, (2) reorienting the organization, (3) establishing policy coherence, and (4) maintaining an equity focus. However, these roles are not well understood. Therefore, this qualitative case study contributed to research and practice by exploring how leaders in a Massachusetts public school district that made gains in improving achievement and equity attempted to generate will, defined as intrinsic motivation, when enacting the role of instructional leadership. Drawing upon semi-structured interviews and a review of documents, this study concluded that leaders enacted the role to varying degrees in ways that were consistent with Rorrer, et al. (2008). Data revealed that leaders attempted to act as transformational leaders and distribute leadership in a manner that connected with individual’s values, beliefs, and desires. Furthermore, when enacting these leadership constructs, leaders attempted to use extrinsic motivators, including recognition, data, and resources such as time for collaboration and professional learning, to promote autonomy and self- determination. Recommendations include how district leaders can enact this role in a more informed, proactive and deliberate manner. / Thesis (EdD) — Boston College, 2016. / Submitted to: Boston College.

An investigation into the state of municipal service delivery: a case study of Vhembe districtMakananisa, Takalani Daniel 28 November 2011 (has links)
This study is set out to investigate municipal service delivery in
the Vhembe district with specific reference to the following
areas:- The nature and level of community participation,
councillors’ understanding of their functions, roles and
responsibilities and capacity required of local municipalities to
deliver quality services based on their constitutional and
legislative competencies.
For the past eight years, municipal service delivery protests have
become prevalent in South Africa. Even after the 2008 National
and Provincial elections, more cases of service delivery protests
were reported. All indications are that service delivery is a
phenomenon that needs to be explored to provide understanding
of the deep rooted problem areas affecting municipalities.
A qualitative study was undertaken to enable the researcher to
provide answers to questions related to whether communities
are participating in the activities of the municipalities, whether or
not councillors have the necessary understanding, of their roles
and responsibilities for example, communicating information to
their constituency regarding service delivery progress, and
whether municipalities have the required capacity to deliver
quality services.
The key findings of this study are that there is a need to come
up with a model which ensures that municipal councils are no
longer situated in towns but in the villages, that there is a need
to rethink political deployment as it is believed to impact
10
negatively to the capacity of municipalities to deliver services,
and that the lack of monitoring and evaluation of councilors’
performance is increasingly causing challenges, and undermining
the purposes and intentions of developmental local government.

Household Determinants of Malaria in Mutasa District of ZimbabweZinyengere, David Takudzwa 01 January 2018 (has links)
Malaria is a vector borne, acute febrile illness, caused by Plasmodium parasites. Malaria impacts the medical and socioeconomic development programs of affected communities, as it diverts both individual and national resources into managing the disease burden. The purpose of this study was to explore and evaluate household determinants of malaria in Mutasa District, Zimbabwe. The precede-proceed theoretical model guided the study. Secondary data from Demographic Health Survey and District Health Management Information System, and current data from household determinant questionnaires, were used to evaluate the influence and significance of identified household determinants. Multiple logistic regression models were used to examine the association between malaria prevalence and the identified household determinant factors. The study result showed the existence of household determinant factors that affected the prevalence of malaria in Mutasa District. The presence of livestock animals within a 50-meter radius of the household, ownership of animal drawn carts and low socioeconomic status significantly increased malaria risk, while availability of drinking water within a 50-meter radius of the household, significantly reduced malaria risk. Other variables, although not statistically significant, had varied levels of malaria infection risk. The study results may contribute to positive social change by providing an insight into innovative strategies that enhance existing interventions. The study results may also provide opportunities for upgrading malaria intervention policies and sustainable community participation, thus enhancing malaria elimination efforts

School District Reorganization and Consolidation in Cache County, UtahBagley, Grant Richard 01 May 1964 (has links)
A historical study of school organization and school district consolidation enables both educators and lay citizens to have a better understanding and appreciation of schools as they are today. By studying past developments of a given institution, one can better evaluate current requirements and affect future changes as the needs arise. The Cache County School System as presently constituted has evolved over the years from a cluster of small independent village schools with separate boards of education to a highly centralized system with one board of education and consolidated schools. The purpose of this study is to trace and analyze the development of this system.

People's participation in rural development in Sri Lanka : the case of Anuradhapura districtDissanayake, H. M. Mallika, n/a January 1992 (has links)
This thesis deals with the question of people's participation in rural development in Sri Lanka
with specific reference to the district of Anuradhapura.
When we consider people's participation in rural development it is essential to understand the
meanings attached to the concepts of development, rural development, participation and
decentralization. Therefore, Chapter 2 of this thesis concentrates on these concepts.
The nature and degree of people's participation depends in great part on the socio-economic and
cultural aspects of the people who live in the region or the area. Therefore, Chapter 3 deals with
the significance of the rural sector in Sri Lanka and investigates income levels, nutritional status
and employment, the village society, and the socio-cultural patterns of Sri Lanka. This chapter
especially considers the socio-economic and cultural situation which effects people's participation
in Sri Lanka.
The importance of rural development is discussed in Chapter 4. This chapter explains the scope
of rural development in Sri Lanka. In this case the chapter concentrates on the history of rural
development, decentralization, and integrated rural development programmes. Also it describes
the organizations which already exist in the rural sector in Sri Lanka.
Chapter 5 discusses Anuradhapura district as a case study and it mainly deals with the situation
and basic features, such as agriculture, economy, population, education and labour force. Also, it
describes the administrative structure of the district with special attention to political structure,
Kachcheri and divisions, other departments and the Buddhists temple.
Institutional capacity and effective participation in Anuradhapura district is discussed in Chapter
6 in order to analyse the effectiveness of organizations in the district. To achieve this objective
Chapter 6 discusses the integrated rural development project in Anuradhapura district and the
reasons for people's non-participation in it.
The thesis concludes that people's participation is an essential ingredient of successful rural
development in Sri Lanka but there are a number of constraints. Some recommendations to
promote the people's participation are given in the conclusion.
