The document discusses the South Dekalb Mall, including details about its trees, drainage system, parking lot, and shoppers' satisfaction. It also notes environmental problems like dead plants near the mall and higher crime rates. The community uses the mall for shopping, socializing, and eating. Designing a more environmentally friendly mall could include more windows, plants, and recycling bins. There were roads built and widened to accommodate the mall. The mall has 93 stores including clothing, shoes, jewelry and department stores. Wildlife is now limited to birds since development likely drove away larger animals.

1. Marcellis Mathews Niya Falls Marcus Neely South DeKalb Mall

2. Tree Height 16 feet

3. Drainage System Where the rain drains into.

4. Parking lot 80% of the parking lot is filled.

5. Where the base of the trees are and are surrounded by concrete.

6. Mall Shoppers Satisfied? They seemed satisfied about the mall and the location seemed very convent. They all agreed that the mall had strengths as well as some weaknesses.

7. Environmental Problems Things that we noticed about the environment that surrounded the mall where the plants that were located closer to the mall seem dead and haven't been taken care of.

8. Residential Problems One minus about the mall is more crime rate is much higher. From teenagers trying to steal items from the mall to rioting teenagers trying to fight in the parking lots.

9. Community Role People come to shop, communicate with others, and also to grab a quick convent lunch with friends.

10. Negative Environmental Problems Minimized Make sure that every piece of trash is placed where it belongs IN THE TRASH CAN !! Also by having small recycle bins that are located in and outside the mall.

11. Small or Large? One large shopping center is more convent and more environmental friendly we think. That would eliminate more cars being on the road and more fuel being burned to go to one small store to another one.

12. Designing a new mall If we where designing a more effective environmental friendly mall we would include many windows for natural lighting. Cleaner Include a lot of plant life to make the mall more presentable.

13. Construction before the mall There where roads built to more accommodate the mall. As well as roads widen capable for holding more traffic into accessing the mall.

14. Stores There are a total of 93 stores located inside of South Dekalb Mall. Those stores include shoe stores, clothing stores , Jewelry stores , and also department stores.

15. Before South DeKalb Mall We are pretty sure that there was land before the mall was place there. But technology doesn’t let us go back that far and all people interview couldn’t tell us what was there before the mall. South DeKalb has been there for 40 years. So plant life and animals habitats where destroyed to create this mall.

16. Wildlife Most common wildlife we saw present where birds. Deer or any large animals can not survive do to busy streets and large human interactions which has probably driven them off over the years.

17. The END! Thanks !
