Inclusive urban mobility - social equity and mass transport systems in Quito,...Institute for Transport Studies (ITS)
Guest presentation delivered by Gayle Wooton of Cardiff University, 25 November 2015.
Abstract: despite rising levels of urban mobility, access to places, activities and services has become increasingly difficult, particularly for the marginalised urban poor who face long distances or unaffordable travel costs in order to reach places of employment, education or leisure. In cities where access to private travel is uncommon, mass transport systems are essential elements allowing citizens to participate in everyday activities. Following successes in Curitiba and Bogota, mass transit systems such as bus rapid transit have been implemented in many Latin American cities (Medellin, Buenos Aires, Lima), while others are implementing metro systems (Quito, Panama City, Guadalajara, Santiago de Chile). Many such systems are unevenly distributed throughout the city however, with poorer neighbourhoods often poorly connected to the city centre where the majority of jobs and opportunities are located.
In tandem, many Latin American nations have been debating rights-based approaches to tackling social inequality. Ecuador and Brazil have adopted the Right to the City concept as part of their constitutions and Mexico City is developing a similar city charter. A human rights dimension is relevant to the provision of transport systems recognising that ‘the right to mobility is universal to all human beings, and essential for the effective practical realisation of most other basic human rights’ (CEMR 2007). Despite this link, rights-based approaches to social equity have not been studied in the context of mass transport systems. My research attempts to address to what extent rights-based approaches have been, or can be, integrated into decisions about mass transport investment, through the case study of Quito and plans for a new metro line and connecting metrocable routes. This presentation would present preliminary analysis following fieldwork in early 2015.
Bio: Gayle Wootton is a trained planner with a background in ecology, environmental impacts and assessments. Before returning to full-time education in 2013 to undertake her PhD in Inclusive Urban Mobilities, she worked for ten years for organisations involved with providing environmental and sustainability advice to the land-use and transport planning systems of England and Wales. Gayle has previously worked as a Research Officer for the Royal Town Planning Institute (RTPI), ran a £10m European-funded Regeneration Programme for the Welsh Government, and advised on strategic plans for the Countryside Council for Wales and the Environment Agency Wales. Now in the third year of her PhD, Gayle is also Chair of Planning Aid Wales, the postgraduate representative for UTSG and has teaching responsibilities on modules relating to transport economics and sustainable mobility.

From Independence to Interdependence: A Social Narrative of Assistive Technology
In the Assistive Technology and greater disabilities community, “independence” has been a core goal and frame for making progress toward equality. Independence is often interpreted to mean that disabled people can and should live without help from others, and that assistive devices exist to displace reliance on helpers. For example, a wearable device that gives a blind person turn-by-turn directions through an airport displaces a sighted human guide. However, my work with people with disabilities in the home, in the workplace, and in public spaces has demonstrated that collaboration is a significant tool and goal of people with disabilities in their everyday lives. Further, social setting and human-human interactions significantly impact whether and how assistive devices are used. In this talk, I will share and unpack stories from people with diverse abilities to motivate the complementary notion of “interdependence.” I argue that assistive technology design through this lens provides an insightful and empowering alternative for assistive technology users.

Urban design is a technique and knowledge seeking to organize and improve urban qualities
and increase the quality of citizenship life. Based on the perspectives and objectives of urban design, the
dominant intention in all urbanism activities is to reach high humanistic and social dimensions. In fact,
what give meaning to a city are the social aspects raised in recent urban activities, in addition to the
physical and visual body of it. Over the past decade the quality of the walking environment has become
a significant factor in transportation planning and design in developed countries. It is argued that the
pedestrians’ environment has been ignored in favors of automobile. The purpose of this study was to
examine the effects of walkability on property values and investment returns. Research method is
descriptive. The method of collected data is field. Also, were used questionnaire tools in order to
collecting data. On the other hand, was referred to municipality 9 region due to, studied area was
located in this urban region.

Walkability – or the ability to conveniently, safely, comfortably, and pleasurably walk to everyday needs and amenities – has been increasingly tied to improved health, broadly defined to include not just physical and mental health, but also social, community, environmental and even fiscal health. While the US and other Western countries have begun to make strides to increase walkability and promote
healthy placemaking, China continues to push forward car-centric urbanization and along with it rising rates of obesity, diabetes, cancer, and air pollution. Yet China has a huge opportunity - over 50 new cities, each with populations of over 1 million people, will be built in the next 20 years. This presentation outlines how walkability is tied to the broad concept of health and identifies the key physical, socio-cultural and policy barriers that must be addressed in order to move toward more sustainable development that promotes livability and walkability, thereby enhancing the State – and health – of Chinese cities.

This presentation on Walkability is for a upcoming seminar/charrette hosted by the Town of Collierville, Tn. There is a particular focus on block design as one of the key components of a wlakable neighborhood.
Best Practices for Walkability
Walkability best practices are initiatives and activities that most effectively contribute to increasing the number and frequency of work, recreation, shopping, school, fitness, and other walking trips, increasing the walk share of all people trips made in a community, and improving the safety, comfort, convenience, and well-being experience of walking throughout a community.This workshop presentation presents a number of best practices, and suggests how citizens can organize their resources to promote achieving these practices in their communities.

Now, in 2009, numerous infrastructure proposals are being floated by all levels of government in attempts to deal with the economic downturn that is sweeping Canada, the U.S., and other countries. The PowerPoint slides used in the original presentation appear to have gained in value as community associations try to understand the purpose, value, and impacts of latest mix of iinfratructure proposals and initiatives notions being promoted by governments to deal with the current recession/depression.

TacklingPovertyNZ Sustaining and Empowering Factors Framework
At each of the TacklingPovertyNZ 2016 national tour workshop, participants were asked to develop specific, actionable suggestions for how to address poverty. As a result of the tour’s six workshops, 240 ‘hows’ were identified. In the process of reviewing the ‘hows’, we created the Sustaining and Empowering Factors Framework. This framework enabled us to divide the 240 ‘hows’ to correspond with sustaining factors (which relate to an individual’s short-term survival and security needs) and empowering factors (which relate to the empowerment of an individual, community or nation). We then grouped these ‘hows’ by similarity, producing 33 sub-factors for analysis (see column on the right). The sub-factors are terms we have created to align with the voices we heard on tour.

Developing Gender Sensitive Local Services
Developing gender-sensitive local services most important outcome of events such as this is the exchange they enable between participants from different countries. Clearly, we all share an agenda in the areas of social inclusion and service provision. Issues of quality, gender sensitivity, and accessibility are as challenging for people in the UK as they are for people in Africa, Asia and Central and Latin America.
We share concerns about the affordability and appropriateness of services – who pays for services, what user fees are acceptable, who delivers the services – and about accountability, principally the accountability of officials and elected representatives to citizens. Finally – and importantly – we want to identify approaches which could be useful to the European Union and the British government in their development co-operation programmes and policies. Alongside the set of shared agendas outlined above is another agenda which is equally important for this seminar. In 1995 the UK and the European Union, alongside most other countries in the world, signed agreements at the Fourth World Conference on Women in Beijing and the World Summit on Social Development in Copenhagen.
This year they have reiterated their commitment by signing agreements at the follow-up conferences, ‘Beijing + 5’ and ‘Copenhagen + 5’. Fundamental to these international agreements is gender equality and the commitment to women’s rights as human rights. The international community has also committed itself to certain international development targets which stem from the series of UN conferences that took place in the 1990s. One of those targets poses a challenge: to halve the incidence of poverty by 2015.
The UK and the European Union have very good gender policies in their development co-operation. Yet, as we all know, there are still huge inequalities in access to, and control over, services such as water, health care, education, sanitation, transport, roads, justice, and housing. In such a context it is difficult to see how women, men and children can enjoy and exercise their full human rights when they are denied access to some of the most basic essential services.

READING LIST: USING A RETROSPECTIVE APPROACH TO MINE THE LITERATURE FOR GIS A...
Four bodies of pertinent readings are identified for the purposes of the Applied Research Seminar, Mining U.S. Federal Agency Materials for GIS Nuggets, 2016 Esri Federal User Conference, February 24-26, Washington, DC
First and foremost are the papers prepared for AutoCarto Six Retrospective (section A), which set out many of the concepts, ideas, needs, challenges and opportunities, as well as principles and practices that underlie the evolution of GIS technology and GIScience methodology.
The second body of publications is the papers and slide presentations prepared for the Colloquium on Using the Retrospective Approach to Mine for GIS Nuggets (section B1 and section B2, respectively), and the third body (section C) consists of the articles about GIS retrospective project activities published in the International Journal of Geospatial Research (IJAGR).
Finally, a preliminary list of publications (section D) from various academic, government, professional organization, and other sources has been compiled to supplement the AutoCarto Six Retrospective papers, and the colloquium productions. More references will be identified in the coming months, and the current reading list dated August 31, 2015 will be amended accordingly.
The intention is to suggest readings which could be instructive for a wide range of attendees. Our approach at this stage in view of resource constraints, as well as uncertainty about the backgrounds of seminar attendees, is to be indicative and illustrative rather than comprehensive and directive.

Speed Limits and Road Safety: Examples of Questions to Ask to Ensure the Safe...
The topic of speed limits and road safety has been around since the advent of the automobile and the topic still brings heated debate, usually along the lines of increasing speed limits to accommodate private motor vehicle operators. In these remarks for a panel discussion at the Ottawa Centre Community Summit on Speed Limits and Road Safety, I present a total of 20 questions which I believe provide a considerable amount of thought for citizens, community associations, advocacy groups, public interest groups, elected and appointed government officials, lawyers, academics, and others who seek actionable suggestions on how to ensure that whatever decisions are made about speed limits and road safety, those decisions have all due regard for the safety of pedestrians, and especially children, persons with disabilities, and seniors, who are among the most vulnerable of road users.
Walking Security Index Pilot Study
The Walking Security Index (WSI) project was approved in 1994 as an element of the Transportation Environment Action Plan (TEAP) of the Region of Ottawa-Carleton (changed to City of Ottawa in 2000) and the Walking Security Index (Final Report) was published in 1998. The Walking Security Index Pilot Study project was launched in 2000 and completed in 2002 One of the goals of TEAP was to encourage more trips by walking, and the primary mission of the WSI project was to design indexes which measure the levels of safety, comfort and convenience expected and experienced by pedestrians at intersections. The thesis of the WSI research was that indexes could be designed that provide scores on the performance of intersections from the perspective of safety, comfort, and convenience of pedestrians, and the scores could be arranged in rank order. Then, for public safety, quality of life, engineering, traffic, enforcement, maintenance, modification, health, or other purposes, the scores could be used to identify needed corrective actions at intersections rated from best to worst, o
GIS: Bringing Geography to the World & the World to Geography; Slide Presenta...
The slide presentation for GIS: Bringing Geography to the World & the World to Geography, demonstrates the theme that GIS Day is a special occasion, whereby we express what we are thinking and doing in our GIS research, education, training, and applications activities. And, it is also is a time to set forth what we wish others would think about and do, such as providing answers to the question: “What contribution is Geography making to support and encourage the development and use of GIS technology and GIScience methods, techniques, and operations by governments, NGOs, business, researchers, academe, the media, and interest groups?” The impending Research Colloquium on Using the Retrospective Approach to Mine for GIS Nuggets is one such contribution by Geography to GIS. This GIS Day 2014 presentation includes a selection of figures and tables from several Colloquium papers which illustrate how Geography can contribute to both parts of the title, that is, GIS: Bringing Geography to the World and, GIS: Bringing the World to Geography.
Searching for GIS Nuggets: Mining Annual Reports by Canada’s Commissioner of ...
The 2015 Retrospective Research Colloquium is designed in conjunction with plans for the follow-on 2016 Conference on Using the Retrospective Approach to Mine for GIS Nuggets. The focus of the Research Colloquium is on presentations which discuss why and how different kinds of literature and other sources could be mined for GIS nuggets serving one or more of the following missions: M1. Designing and developing geographic information systems technology; M2. Defining and elaborating geographic information science; and, M3. Using geographic information systems technology and/or geographic information science The Commissioner of Environment and Sustainable Development (CESD) is a Government of Canada oversight agency. CESD reviews and evaluates federal department and agency progress in developing and implementing strategies to serve and promote sustainable development (which applies to both the built and the natural environments); and, CESD also oversees the environmental petitions process involving citizens. This paper discusses CESD’s mandate, its annual Reports to Parliament, and the focus of the Reports on the importance of information which is to be collected and processed by federal departments and agencies, and then used to monitor and analyze environmental and sustainable situations and processes, as well as to direct and support policy, program, and strategy decisions, and to communicate with citizens on environmental and sustainable development challenges, opportunities, issues, options, and initiatives. The paper concludes that CESD Reports to Parliament are an important body of literature to be mined for GIS nuggets.

The 2015 Retrospective Research Colloquium is designed in conjunction with plans for the follow-on 2016 Conference on Using the Retrospective Approach to Mine for GIS Nuggets. The focus of the Research Colloquium is on presentations which discuss why and how different kinds of literature and other sources could be mined for GIS nuggets serving one or more of the following missions: M1. Designing and developing geographic information systems technology; M2. Defining and elaborating geographic information science; and, M3. Using geographic information systems technology and/or geographic information science. This paper encourages and supports mining the popular literature – newspapers, magazines, television, radio, and all other forms of media – for GIS nuggets, that is, GIS findings which serve three related functions: designing and developing geographic information systems technology; defining and elaborating geographic information science; and, using geographic information systems technology and geographic information science. Organized around the concepts of the Doomsday Map and the Stewardship Map, media articles on the abuse versus care of land, water, and air resources over the 25 years between 1990 and 2015 provide the basis for questions to guide retrospectively mining for GIS nuggets: Who caused the change from abuse to care to occur, or not? What caused the change from abuse to care to occur, or not? Why did the change from abuse to care occur, or not? When did the change from abuse to care occur, or not? Where did the change occur, or not? How did the change occur, or not? And, for each of those questions, Was GIS a factor? Media reports confirm that it is critically important to retrospectively mine this body of literature for GIS nuggets, and provide suggestions about how the mining process could be designed.
GIS: Bringing Geography to the World & the World to Geography
GIS Day is a special occasion, whereby we express what we are thinking and doing in our GIS research, education, training, and applications activities. And, it is also is a time to set forth what we wish others would think about and do, such as providing answers to the question: “What contribution is Geography making to support and encourage the development and use of GIS technology and GIScience methods, techniques, and operations by governments, NGOs, business, researchers, academe, the media, and interest groups?” The impending Research Colloquium on Using the Retrospective Approach to Mine for GIS Nuggets is one such contribution by Geography to GIS.

Five core questions on rail safety
The focus of this report is on passenger rail safety and freight rail safety for two primary reasons. First, and as illustrated by numerous, recent media items – editorials, columns, interviews, articles, programs, news specials, letters to editors, etc., – there continues to be widespread concern about the need to correct weaknesses, shortcomings, defects, flaws, and so on that are negatively affecting the safe movement of rail passenger and rail freight traffic in Canada (as well as in the U.S. and in other countries). Moreover, the media items frequently raise questions about the causes of rail safety situations or incidents that are deemed to be in urgent need of answers from governments (elected and appointed officials) at all levels, as well as from private sector corporate entities. And the second reason it is the flip side of the first. That is, due to policies, motives, practices, procedures, etc., specific to government agencies and officials, or to private sector corporate entities and officers, it is often very difficult or impossible to obtain the data, information or other productions necessary and sufficient to derive evidence-based comments, directives, or opinions about rail safety matters for media or for advisory purposes. This paper addresses both sides of the rail safety situation by presenting five core questions which can be used by lawyers, earnest elected officials, earnest professional staff, rail safety advocates, opposition political parties, candidates for political office, rail incident victims, and the media to pursue legal, political, operational, and other remedies to resolve rail safety problems and challenges, to significantly improve public access to pertinent, timely, and comprehensive rail safety data, information, and other productions, and to ensure full access to the people and methods behind the decisions which affect passenger rail and freight rail safety. The five core questions are: How have the priorities that governments (including crown corporations) and private sector entities assigned to duty of care obligations, standard of care practices, and risk management targets affected passenger rail safety, and freight rail safety, respectively, in Canada? How has urban encroachment as a result of planning and/or development decisions by municipal and provincial governments, and property developers, compromised rail safety? How has physical conflict between trains and trains, and trains and other modes of ground-based transport, compromised rail safety? How have passenger rail safety and freight rail safety been factored into transportation funding decisions by federal, provincial, and municipal governments? How have geographic information systems (GIS) technology and science assisted rail carriers and government departments or agencies make better passenger rail safety and freight rail safety decisions?
AutoCarto Six Retrospective
AutoCarto Six Retrospective is a commemorative book that celebrates the Sixth International Symposium on Automated Cartography, which was held 30 years ago in Ottawa, Canada in 1983. The AC Six Symposium is considered one of the most influential conferences behind the origins, development, and growth of automated cartography, geographic information systems (GIS), remote sensing, geomatics, and related fields. The retrospective production was designed and edited by Barry Wellar, Professor Emeritus, University of Ottawa, and currently owner and principal of Wellar Consulting Inc. and President, Information Research Board Inc. He was the Director of the Technical Program for AutoCarto Six, and editor of the 1100-page symposium proceedings which is available online at various websites. AutoCarto Six Retrospective includes an Introduction by Jack Dangermond, President, Esri, a paper by Barry Wellar on the design of a retrospective project and book, and 29 papers in which authors look back at the papers they presented on the theme, “Automated Cartography: International Perspectives on Achievements and Challenges”. The terms of reference used to design the retrospective papers include: Reason for 1983 paper; Thoughts shaping the design of the 1983 paper; Derivative attributions; Original contributions; Impacts; What was new in the 1983 paper; and, What was different in the 1983 paper. AutoCarto Six Retrospective is published by Information Research Board Inc.
Walking Security Index
The Walking Security Index (WSI) project was approved in 1994 as an element of the Transportation Environment Action Plan (TEAP) of the Region of Ottawa-Carleton (now the City of Ottawa), and received funding in 1996. The Walking Security Index (Final Report) was published in 1998. One of the goals of TEAP was to encourage more trips by walking, and the primary mission of the WSI project was to design indexes which measure the levels of safety, comfort and convenience expected and experienced by pedestrians at intersections. The thesis of the WSI research was that indexes could be designed that provide numeric scores on the performance of intersections from the perspective of safety, comfort, and convenience of pedestrians, and the scores could be arranged in rank order. Then, for public safety, quality of life, engineering, traffic, enforcement, maintenance, infrastructure modification, health, or other purposes, the scores could be used to identify needed corrective actions at intersections rated from best to worst, or at problematic intersection quadrants, and the rankings would provide elected officials and Region/City management and staff with information for prioritizing remedial actions. More than 50 publications have been authored or co-authored by the principal investigator to describe the research design and findings of the WSI methodology, including the specification of 10 indexes grouped into three domains -- intersection volume and design, quality of intersection condition, and driver behaviour. The Walking Security Index project reports, findings, and expertise of the principal investigator have been accepted for expert witness opinions and testimony in more than a dozen legal actions involving pedestrians, motor vehicle operators, municipal governments, insurance companies, and school boards. The print run of more than 400 copies of Walking Security Index was exhausted some years ago, and I have been informed on a number of occasions by interested parties such as researchers, lawyers, public safety advocates, community groups, academics, and students that access to a digital production has not been provided or maintained by the City of Ottawa. That shortcoming is addressed by p0osting this digital production. A digital production will also be prepared for the final report of the follow-on project, Walking Security Index Pilot Study, and it too will be posted to ensure digital access.
STANDARD OF CARE AND E-DEMOCRACY INITIATIVES: LEGISLATIVE AND POLICY IMPACTS
Barry Wellar’s presentation at the 2010 GIS-Pro Conference introduced the topic of governments using GIS to meet duty of care/standard of care obligations. During the 2011 GIS-Pro Conference, Sean McGrath reported on e-democracy activities designed to streamline the legislative process, reduce the paper burden, and significantly improve information exchanges between elected officials and citizens. This panel session builds on those foundations by discussing how information technology is modernizing the legislative process in different jurisdictions, how the availability of GIS is increasing the onus on governments to explicitly build GIS into their standard of care capabilities, and how e-democracy principles and practices are emerging as a core element of enterprise-wide computer-based communications systems in governments. This presentation summarizes the core arguments in the two standard of care papers given by Wellar (Wellar, 2010a, 2010b) at the 2010 URISA conference, and then discusses some of the policy and legislative impacts arising from and feeding into the fusion of GIS and e-democracy infrastructure and activities. The presentation should be of particular interest to: 1) elected and appointed members of the executive function responsible for incorporating standard of care obligations into the policies and legislative materials of local, provincial/state, and federal governments; and 2) managers and GISPs responsible for designing and implementing a GIS-based, e-democracy capability that achieves enterprise-wide inter-connectivity between duty of care and standard of care obligations and the modifications to policies or legislative documents and procedures that pertain to those care obligations.
What's behind the nonsense about traffic gridlock
This article was prepared for news media, popular literature, list serve, social media, academic and association websites, and other means of communicating with the general public in Canada and abroad. As demonstrated in previous reports, and without exception to date, claims about traffic gridlock in sources such as news media stories, government documents, board of trade releases, vested interest productions, as well as announcements and pronouncements by politicians are unsupported by substantive, empirical evidence. This article is a commentary urging ordinary citizens to reject the gridlock nonsense and its agents or lobbyists, and to insist upon and participate in national, regional, and local education programs to better understand and appreciate both the positive and the negative aspects of traffic congestion. Previous reports on my recent gridlock-related research include Tracking the Motives behind the Phony War on “Traffic Gridlock; Traffic Gridlock: A Bad, Mis-Leading Metaphor that Makes for Bad, Mis-Directed Public Policy; Traffic Gridlock: The Real Deal or a Pile of Nonsense? ; and Inspiring a Sustainability Action Agenda . These and other, related productions can be viewed at various websites including, transport2000.ca/; wellar.ca/wellarconsulting/; slideshare.net/wellarb/documents; and urbanneighbourhoods.wordpress.com/.
Traffic Gridlock: A Bad, Mis-Leading Metaphor that Makes for Bad, Mis-Directe...
In a previous publication, Traffic Gridlock: The Real Deal or a Pile of Nonsense?, I reported on a study which applied several research procedures to examine media stories and Google search items containing the terms “traffic gridlock” or “gridlock” implying traffic gridlock. The objective was to ascertain whether the media stories and Google items establish that traffic gridlock is a real deal matter, or whether the stories and items contribute to a pile of nonsense. The finding was that 99% of the stories and items belong in the nonsense pile.
And therein lies a puzzle: How is it that “traffic gridlock” enjoys considerable media and Google popularity, but little to no evidence demonstrating the occurrence of “traffic gridlock” accompanies the vast majority of stories and Google entries? In this report I explore one possible explanation, and the associated implication for public policy. That is, traffic gridlock” is a bad, mis-leading metaphor which has been accepted and promulgated by some parties as a truth for which no proof exists and none is needed. And, the associated cause-effect relationship that I comment on is that a bad, mis-leading metaphor is a bad, mis-directed basis for setting public policy.
To support this explanation I introduce the good metaphor “traffic blockage”, and use it as a means to discredit and dismiss the traffic gridlock metaphor which I believe erroneously distorts understanding the role of motor vehicle congestion in urban places, and obscures/confounds the appropriate ways and means of considering and addressing urban motor vehicle congestion. And, as per the initial paper, an invitation is extended to anyone who has traffic gridlock evidence: please call it to my attention at the earliest so that I can adjust my thinking and revise my papers.
Transportation: Inspiring a Sustainability Action Agenda
The slides in this presentation are for of a keynote address at the 2011 Sustainable Community Summit, Ottawa, Canada. My assignment is “To promote and guide discussion into the barriers and solutions associated with achieving the transportation element of a sustainable community.” As context for the discussion of barriers and solutions to achieving sustainable transport, I begin by explaining why I use “Inspire” in the title. I then list a dozen of my reports in which I examined various issues associated with sustainable transport, and another set of reports in which I previously discussed barriers and solutions to achieving sustainable transport in the City of Ottawa. The final context remark is to remind/inform attendees, and viewers of this presentation, of the ten reports from the project, Methodologies for Identifying and Ranking Sustainable Transport Practices in Urban Regions, which was undertaken for Transport Canada in 2008-2009. Emphasis then turns to two conditions which must be met in order to achieve the transportation component of a sustainable community. First, simultaneously reduce the number of trips made by private motor vehicles, and increase the number of trips made by walking, cycling, and transit. And second, actions are explicitly designed and methodologically implemented to increase transportation system flexibility. The presentation is concluded by a number of slides illustrating how the sustainability of a transportation system is determined by the combinations of transportation system outputs that are demanded by citizens, businesses, and government agencies, and the modes of transportation used by citizens, businesses, and governments to achieve those outputs. In the open forum to follow the presentation, Summit attendees will be asked for words of wisdom, guidance, and motivation to INSPIRE a sustainable transportation transformation across Ottawa, Ontario, and beyond.
Dealing with Municipal Failure to
Through policies, promises, pronouncements, agreements, advertisements, endorsements, pledges, and related statements, municipal governments endorse, support, exhort, encourage, promote, call for, and otherwise demonstrate a municipal “interest” in the use by pedestrians of such public transportation facilities as sidewalks, paths, bridges, roads, streets, highways, intersections, and crosswalks. However, during the course of using these facilities, pedestrians may be injured or even killed. The questions arise, therefore, as to: A) Whether failures by municipal governments to meet duty of care or standard of care obligations affecting pedestrians contributed to events causing the injuries or deaths; and B) Whether it may be appropriate to initiate legal action to seek redress. This presentation includes the following materials which may be instructive for pedestrians, pedestrians’ advocacy groups, and persons acting on behalf of pedestrians, who are giving consideration to playing the legal card: 1) An illustrative list of municipal and provincial documents with a legal aspect pertaining to pedestrians;2) Parameters of burden of care that
have been and are matters of political, social, methodological, and legal contention; 3) Municipal duty of care and standard of care materials and functions that have, could have, or should have implications for pedestrians; 4) Deaths, injuries, and other costs of burden of care failures that affect pedestrians – Results from newspaper searches done more than TEN years ago; 5) Basics of a duty of care/standard of care action? Simple arithmetic test; 6) Burden of care questions that are central to examination for discovery, expert witness reports, and evidence-in-chief and cross-examination activities: 7) Dealing with municipal failure to meet duty of care and standard of care obligations affecting pedestrians – Still want to play the legal card? The presentation is concluded by a selection of online materials dealing with various aspects of the duty of care and standard of care parameters examined during the Walking Security Index project, 1995-2002, and subsequent projects.
Geography Awareness Week 2010 and GIS Day 2010 Competitions
Prior to 2010, the Department of Geography, University of Ottawa, hosted a poster competition among undergraduate and graduate students for GIS Day. In 2010, maps and photographs are added to include additional ways of representing geographic phenomena, and the competition is expanded to combine GIS Day with Geography Awareness Week. To assist in judging the entries, guidelines for evaluating maps, photographs, and posters were prepared by Barry Wellar, Professor Emeritus, University of Ottawa, and Past Chair, Geography Awareness Week, Canadian Association of Geographers. Initial responses to the guidelines by judges, faculty, and students suggest that the guidelines are very effective as a means to efficiently and fairly evaluate large numbers of geography-related exhibits in a short span of time, and are also useful as design frameworks and checklists for course outlines, research projects, publications, and term assignments.

http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
