The purpose of this research was to: 1) measure the importance Cohutta Wilderness users place upon potential indicators of preferred wilderness experiences, 2) identify the extent to which norm, or standards, exist among these users for a variety of social indicators of the wilderness experience, and 3) to compare these characteristics among a number of different subgroups in order to assess any differences which may exist among users. Social judgment theory was used in the study to develop a more reliable and useful method for achieving these objectives. Wilderness users tended to place high levels of importance on most of the indicators studied. However, the greatest importance was placed upon a number of the physical/ecological indicators. Subgroups of wilderness users classified according to wilderness involvement, place attachment, and length of stay showed the most significant differences in importance evaluations. Most of the users sampled were willing to provide personal norms, but these norms were often unstable over time. Users tended to become more restrictive concerning those conditions they found acceptable. Measures of consensus suggested two different conclusions. Wilderness user subgroups tended to have greater median variation than was the case for the approach using percent agreement for specific encounter norm levels. When users were broken down into subgroups, the wilderness involvement measure appeared to explain the most differences in norms regarding the acceptability of wilderness conditions. / Master of Science

This creative project will examine Foote Homes and Cleaborne Homes, two public housing projects adjacent to each other located in downtown Memphis, Tennessee. The downtown area of Memphis has quickly grown into a vibrant urban city with high end residential, business, and commercial developments over the past several years. The city has been transforming itself by re-vitalizing many of the older neighborhoods with it. In fact, both of these housing projects have been scheduled for demolition for many years; however, neither has yet to be improved. The city depends upon people of different incomes to function, yet does little to provide adequate housing for all income levels. Today, the question is, how can these areas be re-developed as beneficial assets to the city of Memphis rather than continue to be financially draining and social separators of the city? To begin the project, the city of Memphis and the relationship of Foote and Cleaborne Homes in the city will be examined. Next, the change of public housing's role in the United States since World War II will be discussed. Then, design theories and case studies of other re-developed housing projects will be studied to see how they have changed how publicly assisted housing is developed today. Lastly, a set of design guidelines and a new design of Foote Homes and Cleaborne Homes will be developed to create a vibrant mixed-use and mixed-income community out of these old public housing projects. Re-developing these housing projects will better fit the current residents, growing housing demand, and overall image of the city of Memphis. / Department of Landscape Architecture
