Growth Controls

Whereas most debates about growth controls have focused primarily on the impacts of land and house prices, this study examines anticipated job and output losses. Using the example of the proposed nonresidential and residential controls approved by the voters of Pasadena, California, as a case study, the authors employ a spatial allocation/regional input-output model (the Southern California Planning Model) that allocates highly disaggregated sectoral impacts (direct, indirect, and induced) to 219 zones (cities and unincorporated areas) in the Los Angeles metropolitan region. The largest economic losses are the result of denied nonresidential construction, and these are cumulative over the ten years of the proposed ordinance (now defunct after the 1992 elections). The lowest-skilled occupational groups are the hardest hit in terms of lost jobs, and almost three fifths of the employment losses occur in the city of Pasadena itself. These results offset the favorable claims for growth controls made by their advocates.

Integral to some conceptualizations of the “smart city” is the adoption of web-based technology to support civic engagement and improve information systems for local government decision support. Yet there is little to no literature on the “smartness” of gathering information about historic places within municipal information systems. This chapter provides three case studies of technologically augmented planning processes that incorporated citizens as sensors of data about historic places. The first case study is of SurveyLA, a massive effort of the city of Los Angeles to comprehensively survey over 880,000 parcels for historic resources. A second case study involves Motor City Mapping, an effort to identify the condition of buildings in Detroit, Michigan and a parallel historical survey conducted by volunteers. In Austin, Texas, a university-based research team designed a municipal web tool called the Austin Historical Survey Wiki. This chapter offers insights into these prior efforts to augment planning processes with “digitized memory,” web-based technology, and public engagement.

Street vending was criminalized in the city of Los Angeles since the 1930s. The Los Angeles Street Vendor Campaign (LASVC) utilized several framing tactics over the last several years in order to mobilize participants to decriminalize and legalize the profession of street vending. This article applies frame alignment theory to illustrate how the LASVC reached its goals. This case study utilizes qualitative interviews of key players in the LASVC movement and a content analysis of LASVC’S Facebook page to document their push toward decriminalization over the course of 1 year. The LASVC transformed their narrative from issues of immigration and labor rights and reframed street vending as a women’s justice issue. By doing so, the LASVC extended the boundaries of their frames to incorporate the voices of women of color whose online and on-the-ground efforts to mobilize a larger population manifested during an era of the fourth wave feminism.

The objective of this paper was to show that the Principal Component Analysis (PCA) quantitative technique is capable of grouping complex variables in correlation groups from qualitative research. Thus, the study proposes a set of indicators for evaluating the production area in electro-electronic transformation industries in the city of Curitiba and Metropolitan Region, under aspects of environmental, social and economic sustainability. By employing the technique, it was observed that the questions were well formulated and truly measured what was proposed by the researchers. However, the way the variables were grouped needs adjustments to facilitate application of the questionnaire and the tabulation and analysis of data.

Choice Literature

The assertions of links between school segregation and segregation in housing are evaluated in a case study of housing patterns and school integration in part of the Los Angeles metropolitan region. The indices of separation/segregation show that although schools in many instances were integrated with voluntary and then mandatory pupil assignments, the housing patterns changed little. However, there was a substantial increase in private school enrollment. This latter response is consistent with the residential choice literature which indicates significant white flight when there is intervention in school systems.

The Regulated Standard (NR-10) is a standard that establishes minimum requirements and conditions with the stated objective of guiding the adoption of preventive systems control measures. The objective of this study is to analyze the compliance of NR 10 in a substation, analyzing as inherent activities to the enterprise according to the standards of standardization. A research was conducted based on a descriptive and observational study, and was implemented through an on-site study based on data collection and information gathering in a substation located in the southern region of Manaus - AM. It is responsible for the distribution of energy throughout the south and center-south of the city, feeding about 450,000 people with the availability of 188,890 kW of power. It was concluded that it is essential that the electricity supply companies are fully in compliance with the requirements and surveillance standards in the country, given that the conservation of workers who deal with direct work in high and low pressure spaces be observed with a much more accurate strategic look.

Evaluation Techniques

Engineers for the city of Los Angeles have observed that lanes carrying Mass Transit Authority (MTA) bus traffic deteriorate at a faster rate than similar lanes without bus traffic. The increased rate of deterioration results in greater maintenance costs in these lanes. To properly apportion the increased maintenance costs, city engineers need an objective method for quantifying the impact of MTA bus traffic. Multiple evaluation techniques are presented that may be used to quantify the effect of buses in terms of increased deterioration rates and greater rehabilitation costs. State-of-the-art techniques that use the results of deflection testing and pavement condition surveys are presented. Data collection procedures, methods for condition and structural analyses, and life-cycle costing procedures are provided. A case study that uses data collected from the city is presented. This study indicates an average yearly additional maintenance cost of $800 per lane-mile caused by MTA bus traffic, excluding associated costs for curb and gutter or maintenance hole adjustments.
