Systematic Spatial Variations in Attitudes Toward Police Actions
(1977-11) Pyle, Gerald F.
From June 1973 to August 1974 a survey was conducted to identify sociospatial similarities and differences in public perception of police actions. A geographically stratified samples of 2,000 respondents within Summit County, OH evaluated police actions on 10 key issues. Analytical results by socio-economic and demographic characterists showed distinctly systematic variations in attitudes. Confidence in the police increased with increasing age, income, and education. Whites demonstrated more confidence in the police than blacks, and men more than women. A spatial comparison of these systematic differences indicated a pattern which could be compared to the overall social ecology of the study area. Policy recommendations for the improvement of police-community relations based on these findings were made.
Land Conversion in an Intrastate Region: The Need for a State Land Use Policy
(1977-11) Hanten, Edward W.
Present trends of land use conversion within urban regions indicate open and agricultural land will be almost non-existent by the year 2000. If this trend is to be diverted, a state land use policy providing for enforceable regional land use controls is necessary. A state land use policy is proposed providing for controlled, local and regional participation. This approach is workable, if the political leadership and local citizenry support such a change.
Effects of Transportation Planning on Urban Areas
(1977-11) Kendrick, Frank J.
The greatest effects of the Federal Aid highway-oriented policy have been social, economic, and environmental. People have been displaced, neighborhoods have been changed, business patterns have been altered, the air has been polluted, and our cities even look very different—primarily as a result of building urban highways and freeways. A study of a freeway under construction in Akron, OH illustrates some of these effects of highway-oriented transportation planning. This particular freeway, although only partially finished, has had numerous social, economic, environmental effects and if finished will have many more. Some of the effects have either tended to perpetuate or aggravate already existing problems, with the result that the overall quality of life has been impacted thereby.
Human Services Integration
(1977-11) Redburn, F. Stevens
The fashionable phrase, human services integration, has many possible operational meanings. It is especially important to distinguish between integration as a set of administrative techniques or structural arrangements, on the one hand, and integration as a characteristic of services or their manner of delivery, on the other. This leaves open the possibility of empirically testing how certain structural changes might affect the delivery of services.
Some Implications of Outdoor Recreation Desires for Urban Redevelopment
(1977-11) Smith, Richard V.; Young, Cyrus W.
The significance of four attributes of outdoor recreation relative to a consideration of urban redevelopment forms the focus of this paper. Data on the public's desires for specific recreational facility qualities and activities and the socio-economic characteristics of households are used to develop implications for urban redevelopment policy. Some effects of household income level, car availability, and place of residence are examined as examples. Conclusions are based on a possible set of public responses and emphasize the need for a fuller appreciation of the role of outdoor recreation in policy determination.
Perceptions of Crime in a Dreadful Enclosure
(1977-11) Brantingham, Paul J.; Brantingham, Patricia L.; Molumby, Thomas
The environmental context for this research is Alumni Village, a married student housmg complex on the campus of Florida State University. Alumni Village was analyzed as an example of a dreadful enclosure which can be defined as a largescale housing estate or development which possesses a reputation as the home of thieves and cutthroats. Perceptions of the safety of the complex by its residents were obtained through use of a set of mental maps which were constructed by resident respondents. The method utilized in this study was derived in large part from Kevin Lynch's (1960) urban image delineation methodology. An analysis of the match between perceptions as recorded in mental maps and a known crime measure was carried out. Conclusions were drawn about policy improvements on the part of both the policing service and the management service for the complex.
Personal Interests and Client Satisfaction with Urban Renewal
(1977-11) Sterne, Richard S.; Kaufman, Barry; Rubenstein, Gerald
Although designed to alleviate the many social and economic problems besetting American cities, urban renewal programs have been the object of extensive criticisms. These range from comments that the programs help those most who need it least to suggestions that such programs have disruptive, and possibly destructive, effects on communities, families, and individuals. This paper reports a study designed, in part, to investigate the latter type of criticism and to provide an evaluation for a local urban renewal agency. The study was concerned with an assessment of the extent to which relocated persons were satisfied with the urban renewal program and the relocation process. The population studied consisted of 150 permanently relocated households from 2 urban renewal areas in Rochester, NY; data were gathered through an interview schedule. The findings provided a positive assessment of the relocation process because most of the respondents seemed to feel that urban renewal was a good thing, and expressed general satisfaction with their new surroundings.
