Establishing a framework for inner-ring suburb sustainability in WinnipegClark, Devin 17 December 2012 (has links)
Sustainable development is an objective that attempts to address global growth and change in an environmental, economic and social manner. Rapidly increasing global populations and growing concerns over resource scarcity and climate change are challenges to these goals. This practicum explores the relationship between sustainable development objectives and an inner-ring suburban neighbourhood in Winnipeg. The intent is to gain insights into how inner-ring suburbs can facilitate a more sustainable future. The research revealed eight themes associated with sustainable urban development, including: community development, land use diversification, better buildings, open space, transportation, water management, waste management, and economic development. A total of 45 associated action opportunities were proposed for an implementation plan for the study area. Challenges and barriers to the implementation of these actions include: political support, financial constraints, physical growth limitations, behavioural change, existing policies and by-laws, action opportunity dependency and education for sustainable development.

Reclaiming consumption: sustainability, social networks, and urban contextKennedy, Emily Huddart 06 1900 (has links)
A social practices theoretical framework and mixed methodology are used to explore household sustainable daily practices in Edmonton, AB. Sustainable daily practices involve those actions undertaken by households to minimize their impact on the environment (e.g., cycling to avoid driving). Because social practice theory considers the reciprocity between agency and structure in establishing habitual routines, this perspective allows for the integration of competing theoretical explanations in the study of sustainable consumption (i.e., treadmill theory and consumer lock-in). Qualitative interviews are used to shed light on how peer-to-peer learning within a network of ecological citizens sustains individuals commitment to reducing consumption. Acting as a group is part of reclaiming consumption, as is the attempt to alter local social context to lessen barriers for others to live more sustainably. Barriers include built infrastructure and social norms. Members of the network described in the qualitative phase reside in a central neighbourhood. Unlike suburban neighbourhoods, the central area is within cycling distance of the downtown and university areas, has walking access to shops and services, and is adjacent to a large natural area with multi-use trails. In this central neighbourhood, residents interviewed meet frequently and informally with other households in the area also interested in sustainable living. In contrast, households interviewed in suburban areas describe a sense of isolation from like-minded others and a paucity of neighbours who inspire them to deepen their commitment to the environment (i.e., through positive reinforcement or knowledge-sharing). To further understand the influence of neighbourhood as a structural feature on daily practices, a survey instrument is used to compare a central urban and a suburban neighbourhood. The quantitative data are used in a cluster analysis resulting in four subgroups of households. The clusters do not differ greatly on socio-demographic variables, but are strongly differentiated by neighbourhood of residence. Thus the thesis concludes that reclaiming consumption, or reducing ones consumption in concert with others, is more easily achieved in an area with public meeting points, the presence of other households committed to reducing consumption, and the opportunity to conspicuously display ones daily practices around sustainable consumption. / Rural Sociology
