This document summarizes a GIS project that maps re-entry services and public transportation in Los Angeles to create an app for formerly incarcerated individuals and organizations. The project aims to visualize access to housing, employment, rehabilitation and other services near bus and rail lines. It analyzes the current access to services based on proximity to transit and whether a GIS app could increase access. The methods section outlines data collection of re-entry organizations and mapping of neighborhoods, rail and bus lines in Los Angeles.

BIG DATA AND BIG CITIES: THE PROMISES AND LIMITATIONS
OF IMPROVED MEASURES OF URBAN LIFE
EDWARD L. GLAESER, SCOTT DUKE KOMINERS, MICHAEL LUCA and NIKHIL NAIK∗
New, “big data” sources allow measurement of city characteristics and outcome
variables at higher collection frequencies and more granular geographic scales than
ever before. However, big data will not solve large urban social science questions
on its own. Big urban data has the most value for the study of cities when it allows
measurement of the previously opaque, or when it can be coupled with exogenous shocks
to people or place. We describe a number of new urban data sources and illustrate how
they can be used to improve the study and function of cities. We first show how Google
Street View images can be used to predict income in New York City, suggesting that
similar imagery data can be used to map wealth and poverty in previously unmeasured
areas of the developing world. We then discuss how survey techniques can be improved to
better measure willingness to pay for urban amenities. Finally, we explain how Internet
data is being used to improve the quality of city services. (JEL R1, C8, C18)
I. INTRODUCTION

has relied on coarse aggregate statistics and
smaller-scale surveys. Over the past decade,

I. Development description of rebuilding the Union Station in Los Angeles
Located strategically in Northeastern of Downtown Los Angeles, the Union Station celebrated its 75th anniversary this year since it began operations. Owned by Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority, a private governing body, this public facility serves approximately 1.643 million passengers a year. Significant dates of this station include beginning official operation in 1939, added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980 and became part of the Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument in 1972 (Maltzan, 2011). In September 17, 2014 the master vision of upgrading this facility was revealed. The Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) revealed the final project’s master plan that seek to transform this historic station into a more modern facility in the contemporary environment that need sustainability.
II. Purpose of rebuilding
The Union Station is due for major innovation to build a modern super transportation station. Although several projects including New transit station on El Monte Busway, Southern California Regional Interconnect Project, and Former Run-Through Tracks Project have been proposed before and fail to receive attention from legislators, the approved 2014 master plan was developed for California High-Speed Rail project. This project seeks to transform the Union Station into a major hub of transportation with new rail system and new railway station infrastructure. The Metro Authority indicated that the California High-Speed Rail system project will improve rail transportation and passengers will be able to travel from this station to Transbay Terminal in San Francisco in less than three hours(Chester and Horvath, 2010). As the master plan of the new station reveal, the project will feature aerial structures that will be built above the existing platform and underground structures. Apart from improving transportation, increasing convenience and serving more passengers, this project aims to utilize resource in order to enhance sustainability in the transport sector in California. In America, California is the most populous State, with most polluted cities from motor vehicles, port operations and various industries; any sustainable transportation project is welcome.
III. Demographic Snapshot of the Los Angeles
The neighborhood is an important stakeholder and a major consideration during a major infrastructure development. The proposed station will have numerous activities going on during building. During the process of rebuilding this station, it is expected to give inconveniences to the Los Angeles residents and neighboring residen.

There are two key issues to resolve for the promotion and delivery of socially sustainable mobilities for all. One is how to make sure major transport infrastructure investments do not disrupt, but rather, facilitate and support the mobilities and livelihoods of local populations, especially the poor and vulnerable. This is not rocket science and can arguably be achieved through the systematic application of social and distributional impact assessment of transport projects and policy strategies. Two is to find compelling and simple ways for transport planners and investors to deliver socially sustainable transport projects at the micro-community level. This is a much bigger challenge because ‘Big Finance’ struggles to fund potentially financially or politically unstable institutions to deliver cost-effective, small-scale, local transport projects. As such, the neo-liberal forms of transport governance that prevail in the Global North and South are the key barrier to the delivery of truly sustainable mobilities. The presentation discusses these issues with reference to the author’s empirical research with low-income populations from different geographical and social contexts.
Understanding client communities spatially for developing effective intervent...
With a professional identity grounded in the ‘Person-in-Environment’ framework, social workers are better equipped to understand the need to incorporate geographical aspects pertaining to where clients live or work as part of their practice, given that these factors have a significant influence on client well-being. Geographic Information Systems (GIS) technology aids professional social work practice by visually displaying contextual data through analytical maps and highlighting the interactions between human service program clients and their environments (Azzam & Robinson, 2013). This technology is useful for administrators and planners in order to make informed decisions regarding programs including deciding the geographic location of human service agencies, examining program outcomes and impact as well as streamlining program implementation. With a capability of engaging in visual map-based spatial analysis of social issues affecting individuals and families in various communities and neighborhoods, GIS is a relevant tool for social work practice, especially for identifying human service needs and advocating for resources. With GIS, social workers could employ cutting-edge techniques to ensure better practices at the micro, mezzo and macro levels.
This presentation aims to provide a practical insight regarding the utility of GIS technology for real world human service applications. Specific examples include a) an asset mapping exercise for a non-profit that provides health, employment and education services to families, children and seniors living in low-income housing communities in California; b) a needs assessment project for examining the availability of substance abuse treatment facilities with services in Spanish in Los Angeles County (Guerrero, Pan, Curtis & Lizano, 2011); and c) an evaluation exercise for a low-income housing project in Los Angeles to understand community risks and assets for planning human service interventions. In all the examples, ArcGIS software was used to understand existing assets and identify gaps/needs within the client communities for program planning purposes.

Abstract : The aim of this project has been to plot the locations of Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) drop-off
sites in the Milwaukee Metro Area. Based on the eleven farm’s drop-off sites, a public Google Map has been created
showing these drop-off points and the appropriately linked farms. In the focus of socioeconomic interests, these sites
have been correlated with 2000 Census tract information dealing with percentages of White and Black neighborhoods,
rates of bachelor’s degrees and areas where median income is below $10,000 dollars. Results show that drop-off sites
are clustered in those areas where there is a higher concentration of White residents, in contrast to few or no drop-off
sites in predominantly Black tracts sites. As well, the majority of locations lie in areas where there are high rates of
Bachelor degrees, showing a potential connection with educational obtainment and dietary trends. Lastly,
neighborhoods that have significant proportions of the population living below the poverty line have little or no dropoff
sites in operation. Store front and traditional churches have been identified that may act as community sites for the
establishment of new CSA locations in these disaffected areas.

Capstone Studio: Gender-Inclusive Planning | Final Report
As part of Hunter College’s Master of Urban Planning program capstone, the Gender-Inclusive Planning studio (GenderInc) has produced a report describing planning interventions and policy recommendations to elevate LGBTQ safety and equity in the urban public realm. We used the Jackson Heights neighborhood in Queens as a focus area for our efforts, as it is home to a large LGBTQ population and has been the site of several recent instances of gender-based violence. Jackson Heights also contains varied land uses, transportation options, and a richly diverse populous, enough so to capture the wide range of planning issues that one could encounter in the rest of the city at large. Our initiatives and recommendations are aimed at reducing harassment and violence against LGBTQ people in public spaces, with a particular focus on public transit as well as on transit’s street-level access points. These recommendations and initiatives are specifically designed to be executed on a broader level across the five boroughs of New York City. Such a citywide application of the report’s findings would position New York City as a national leader in addressing gender-based violence and harassment. Our final report is now available for download, here: http://genderinc.squarespace.com/the-project/

Schenck-Hamlin et al.’s Typology of Compliance-Seeking
(Ingratiating, Promise, Debt, Esteem, Allurement, Aversive stimulation, Threat, Guilt, Warning, Altruism, Direct request, Explanation, Hinting, and Deceit). Explain the study that Schenck-Hamlin et al. conducted to develop the 14 typologies of compliance-gaining strategies. That is how they carried out the study, the results, the participants, and so on.
Review of Other Compliance-Gaining Strategies used in Health Communication
Here, we would get about 4-5 examples of health messages and review the communication style used in those messages. It could include health campaigns, public service announcements, and health-related advertisements, amongst other things. The contents we would review will be anything trying to convince people to do health-related things.
Review of Campaigns Against Smoking
Here, we would be doing the same thing we did in the previous section, but this time we would focus on campaigns against smoking- just as a way to narrow down our scope.
The “How” of Communication.
We would talk about the fact that people also pay attention to how we present our messages and not just the content of the message. We would draw our hypotheses from this section. So, based on the content of this place, our hypotheses would look something like this:

Organizational Review Part II
MEMORANDUM
Re: NYC Department of Transportation Organizational Review – Culture, Bias, and Partnerships
Overview
The New York City Department of Transportation is charged with providing for the “safe, efficient, and environmentally responsible movement of people and goods” in the city. The agency has about 5,500 full-time employees and is currently led by Commissioner Henry Gutman, who was appointed by Mayor Bill de Blasio in February 2021. In conversations with individuals both inside and outside the agency, as well as comprehensive document research, I have identified the key characteristics of the organizational culture at DOT and developed an assessment of the state of the organization’s data and technology readiness. My research has informed an overall understanding of DOT’s engagement with issues of bias and equity as well as community interaction and outreach.
In short, the NYC Department of Transportation has operated under a
culture of fear for the last seven years. Under the control of Mayor de Blasio and the leaders he has directly and indirectly appointed to run DOT, public servants at all levels of the organization feel powerless to act independently of the mayor’s vision when it comes to transportation initiatives. While there are teams and divisions within DOT that are ve.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

- 1. GIS PROJECT PRESENTATION: MAPPING RE-ENTRY ORGANIZATIONS & BUS/RAIL ACCESS IN LOS ANGELES JOANIE EVANS PPD 631
- 2. REVISED CONCEPT NOTE Project Focus: Mapping re-entry services (housing, food, employment, rehab, etc.) onto a base map of the city of Los Angeles. From there, I would also like to overlay Metro Bus & Rail lines. For the final product, I would like to translate this information into an app, to be used by: -Community Based Organizations -Policy Analysts -Formerly Incarcerated Populations
- 3. PROBLEM DEFINITION Defining Re-entry & Access to Re-entry Services by the Formerly Incarcerated The majority of prison inmates—95% —are going to be released back into the community, so addressing the barriers to community re-entry is important (Baillargeon et al., 2010). Recently released inmates are faced with a host of barriers to having a successful return, or re-entry, into society. Many prisoners are poor, returning to their communities with no health insurance, no government benefits, and little to no family support (Baillargeon et al., 2010).Those who have been convicted of felony drug-related offenses may be ineligible for subsidized housing, food stamps, and other government assistance (Hoge, 2007 as cited by Baillargeon et al., 2010). This is why there is a huge need for access to services that address these barriers. These services—which include food, housing, employment, and other services—are referred to generally as re-entry services.
- 4. ANALYSIS PLAN Research Questions 1. What is the current access to re-entry services based on proximity to public rail & bus lines in the city of Los Angeles? 2. Can a GIS-based web application—app—increase access to re-entry services for the formerly incarcerated? Map of Los Angeles
- 5. ANALYSIS PLAN Goals 1. To visually demonstrate access to re-entry services near rail & bus lines 2. To create an interactive/app resource for use by: local policymakers, community-based organizations, and formerly incarcerated people
- 6. METHODS: WHAT’S CHANGED? Data Search &Analysis I have identified the neighborhoods within the city of Los Angeles. I still need to add to the list of re-entry organizations, specifically those in West Los Angeles. South Los Angeles is covered. GIS Techniques I have re-named rail lines. I have also changed the colors of the lines to match their Metro-designated names. In addition, I have overlaid a polygon layer of the City of Los Angeles. I still need to re-name the bus lines. They are tougher than I expected.
