Considerando que o CP e o cinema foram criados mais ou menos ? mesma ?poca, questionamos: (1) se as propostas do projeto de Olmsted para o CP, atendem ?s demandas do s?culo XXI e, caso tenham apresentado modifica??es, quais foram e como se deram; e (2) se, como ferramenta contempor?nea, o cinema apresenta/representa essas modifica??es ou perman?ncias. Respondendo a estas quest?es, defendemos duas hip?teses: (H1) embora mesmo na ?poca de sua execu??o j? tenha havido ajustes e modifica??es, o projeto do CP manteve-se fiel ?s premissas da teoria, propiciando os efeitos restauradores previstos pela TAR; (H2) o cinema ? uma ferramenta adequada ? documenta??o e verifica??o da TAR no CP, tanto devido ao contexto cultural comum que os gerou, quanto pela rela??o existente entre eles. O principal objetivo da tese foi, portanto, compreender semelhan?as e diferen?as entre os ideais do s?culo XIX que geraram o CP e o modo como o cinema do s?culo XXI representa sua atual utiliza??o. Metodologicamente, a tese recorreu ? an?lise bibliogr?fica e documental para subsidiar os cap?tulos iniciais e ao cinema como instrumento anal?tico destinado ? investiga??o da TAR. Os resultados referendam a H2, pois o cinema mostrou-se uma ferramenta adequada a esta pesquisa, por?m, n?o confirmou-se plenamente a H1, uma vez que, embora o projeto do CP mantenha-se relativamente intacto e fiel ? TAR (propiciando os efeitos restauradores), v?rios dos comportamentos que caracterizam a contemporaneidade n?o foram previstos anteriormente, o que se evidencia com rela??o ? pr?tica esportiva, ? maci?a presen?a feminina e, sobretudo, ? criminalidade. / Taking into account the Environmental Restorative Theory (ERT) , created by Fre derick Law Olmsted in mid XIX ce ntury , according which, urban parks can contribute to solve problems arisen from crowding , particularly urban stress, we analize how the ERT arrived at XXI century, having as approach the evaluation of New York Central Park (CP). Considering that the CP and the cinema were born around at the same, we question if the North American cinema produced between 1960 and 2013 show the ideals, which engendered the CP. By answering this question we defend the hypothesis that, even though has existed adjusts and modificati ons in the CP plan through time, it kept reasonably faithful to the ERT premises, propitiating to the XX and XXI centuries cinema identify and bring forth the presence of the Olmsted?s Ideals in the present days. The thesis main objective was nonetheless u nderstand similarities and/or differences between the XIX century ideals (that gave birth to CP) and the way the cinema represents the present uses of the place, taking into account that the Olmstedian ERT proposal have survived to the context changes (soc ial, economic, political and cultural). Methodologically , we drew upon bibliographical and documental analysis to build the first chapters and to the cinema as analytical lenses to investigate the ERT. The results point that although the CP plan has kept r elatively intact and faithful to the ERT ? with the presence of natural elements in the films (notably vegetation and water) ? many of contemporary behaviors were not foreseen previously, especially in relation to sports practice, the massive feminine pres ence, as well as criminality.

Before the American small town was enshrined as an ideal, it was a space of dynamic and pioneering progressive reform, a narrative that has been largely untold in histories of professional planning and landscape history. Archival research shows that village improvement was not simply a prequel to the City Beautiful in the years following the 1893 Chicago Expo, but a rich and complex history that places the residential village at the center of debates about the middle landscape as a civic realm comprised of complimentary and oppositional pastoral and urban worldviews. The second half of the nineteenth century saw an extensive movement in village improvement that affected the physical, economic, and social infrastructure of rural settlements of all sizes in every region of the country. As a concept referenced by planners working on comprehensively-designed suburban communities, the small town ideal has never been historicized with respect to the history and theory of the nineteenth century village landscape improvements. This study broadens the study of village improvement to include the history of ideas and debates surrounding rural development on the national and local level between the 1820s and 1880s and, in doing so, argues that the discussion-born theory of village improvement within a national rural reform movement led by some of the nineteenth century's most respected and influential reformers including B.G. Northrop (education), Col. George Waring (sanitation), N.H. Egleston (conservation), Isabella Beecher Hooker (women's rights), and F.L. Olmsted, Sr. (landscape architecture) was modeled on the Laurel Hill Association in Stockbridge, Massachusetts, and that the local practice of this one society over the same period in line with the national movement together comprised the most active sustained discussion about the civic society and physical infrastructure of rural settlements in American history. This narrative tracks reform movements in rural settlements over several decades, beginning with landscape gardening through sanitation and up to the professionalization of city planning and the country life movement. Planning veered from broadly conceived urban pastoralism and multi-disciplinary rural improvement that viewed the village as an extension of the city toward preservation planning that viewed the small town as an increasingly idealized pastoral space, past-looking and unchanging. This trend was in line with an associated shift from planning as a series of fine-grained locally led practices to expert-driven professionalized planning as grandiose comprehensive vision.

A print copy of this thesis is available through the UO Libraries under the call number: AAA F868.Y6 G47 2004 / This study describes existing conditions, evaluates significance and historic integrity, and recommends treatment strategies to preserve historic elements of the Nevada Fall Corridor cultural landscape in Yosemite National Park. It reports findings from field investigation that examined and inventoried landscape features such as stone retaining walls, treadway material, bridges and causeways, and water features on both current-use and abandoned trail segments. The site was examined numerous times over a three-month period, with a followup visit one year later. Libraries and other archives were consulted for written and photographic historic documentation, which were analyzed against current conditions. The process also involved review of comparison documents as well as national guidelines set forth by the National Park Service. / Adviser: Melnick, Robert Z.
