The Seattle.gov and Barnett articles indicate two initiatives from the city to expand access to decision-making and resources in Seattle. What do you think of Mayor Durkan’s EDI investment effort? Is this “good” community development? Does it respond to some of the key concerns we have been discussing? What about the decision (4 years ago) to dismantle the old “District Council” model of community participation? Will this new setup be better, or more equitable? Consider the critiques in the end of the Barnett article, and the ones from the WBEZ article about the Chicago PD. Is the new approach to Seattle’s Department of Neighborhoods (city-run instead of district-based neighborhood groups) more inclusive, or is it just lip-service? How do we reconcile the value and use of community commissions and enhanced community voice when we so often and so easily reject their recommendations? Is community engagement just a “box to be checked”? How can we tell if it’s empowerment, or just “lip service”? Is it obvious? .

What is cooperative federalism and how is it the basis.docx
Cooperative federalism is the basis for federal urban programs in the United States and involves collaboration between federal, state and local governments. Over time, federal assistance to cities changed substantially, and today the US lacks a comprehensive national urban policy. Citizen participation and activism in cities has risen as well through community development corporations and bottom-up organizing efforts aimed at more equitable development. The prospects for regional governance are uncertain as there are obstacles like differing views on consolidation versus polycentric approaches and limitations of public choice theory.
Strategic Communication Plan for Birchwood Clearview Community Association
The Birchwood-Clearview Community Association (BCCA) aims to enhance quality of life for over 800 homes through citizen involvement. As a non-profit organization, BCCA hosts community events but has a limited budget supported by $20 annual member dues, which are not required. BCCA seeks to increase its primary role in the community and raise its low 4.4% membership rate. A stakeholder analysis identified residents, members, and local businesses as key groups that currently lack awareness of BCCA's mission and offerings. The communication climate presents challenges in efficiently informing all 800 homes about activities through monthly newsletters alone.

Community Benefit Agreement Research
This document summarizes a paper about how Community Benefit Agreements can lead to resident empowerment in Detroit. It discusses how decades of neglect have led to distrust among Detroit residents towards development. Community Benefit Agreements, which are legally binding contracts between developers and communities, can help address this issue. The document examines case studies of successful CBAs and how they have provided benefits to residents like affordable housing, local hiring programs, and oversight of the agreement. CBAs allow residents to have input into development plans and see real investments in their communities.
Collaborative Networks Understanding the possibilities for Detroit
This document proposes developing a collaborative network for organizations in Detroit to address challenges. It discusses:
1) Grassroots non-profits have been leading revitalization efforts but lack formal collaboration. A network could foster cooperation.
2) Detroit has strong social capital from engaged residents and non-profits. This provides a foundation to build relationships through a network.
3) A working group of stakeholders could guide initial network planning, ensuring community needs are met through diverse representation.
How do we want to support independent voluntary action in 2020..?
This document outlines some of the challenges and opportunities facing independent voluntary action in 2020. It identifies long term changes such as changing work practices, demographic shifts, new disruptive technologies, and evolving citizen-state relationships. Local development agencies have a social mission to promote social progress but must decide whether to resist changes or demonstrate better approaches. The document discusses national and local drivers changing infrastructure and asks how infrastructure can adapt to better support existing organizations, develop new activities, and facilitate collaboration and representation among sectors. It concludes there are opportunities to increase social welfare through leveraging resources in new ways, developing networks over organizations, building community resilience, enabling self-organization, and diversifying thinking.
Smart growth citizenship
This document provides an overview of smart growth citizenship and grassroots action transforming communities. It discusses how planners need to lead participants towards answers rather than just taking orders. It then gives a brief history of citizen participation in planning from Jane Jacobs in the 1960s. It outlines current levels of citizen engagement and desire to be involved. It argues that local government is well-positioned to facilitate this due to trust in local government and existing social capital. It discusses strategies that have been successful including emphasis on civic rather than political issues. It argues grassroots action is decentralizing planning and empowering citizens. It outlines how volunteerism, non-profits and crowdfunding can implement plans without public funding. It discusses the Tampa Urban
ACT ICT REPORT 2 18 14

Chicago civic infrastructure slides
This document summarizes a presentation by Matt Leighninger on building civic infrastructure. It discusses how citizens have changed and need to be treated as adults through providing them information, opportunities to share their stories and perspectives, choices, legitimacy, and ways to take action. It outlines key components of civic infrastructure like democratic spaces in neighborhoods, schools, online, and for youth, as well as buildings to house citizen engagement, leadership, skills training, information dissemination, and democratic decision-making processes. The presentation argues that stronger civic infrastructure requires involvement from many sectors of the community.
9 questions with Tompkins legislature write-in candidate
This article summarizes an interview with Rich John, a write-in candidate running against Elie Kirshner for the Tompkins County Legislature's Fourth District seat. In the interview, John argues that he is more qualified than Kirshner due to his longer experience living and working in Ithaca. He discusses several issues including affordable housing, environmental sustainability, and the county budget. He believes his background working with municipalities and large companies makes him well-suited for the legislature position.
Monitoring The Impact of Urban Form Changes on Health and Inequality: The INT...
Presented by Meridith Sones
Simon Fraser University
Using cutting-edge technology and tools, INTERACT is conducting natural experiment studies on major changes in urban form in four Canadian cities (a multiuse greenway in Vancouver, a sustainable development plan in Montreal, a bicycle network in Victoria, and Bus Rapid Transit in Saskatoon). Applying an integrated knowledge translation approach in each city, INTERACT aims to: (1) understand context of urban interventions; (2) measure change in urban form; (3) analyze impact of interventions on health, wellbeing, and social inequalities; (4) mobilize knowledge to guide future decision making on urban change.

Monitoring The Impact of Urban Form Changes on Health and Inequality: The INTERACT Methodology. Poster presentation at: Active Living Research Conference; February 2018; Banff, AB. (First prize for poster presentation)
Blue&Tess Poster
The document summarizes findings from interviews with community partners involved in a health impact assessment (HIA). It identifies challenges in the partnership between community organizations and the practitioner institution conducting the HIA. These included issues with the memorandum of understanding (MOU) that included money changing the power dynamic, lack of bidirectional communication, unmet expectations, and structural power imbalances around resources and identity. The community partners felt their engagement was sometimes "hollow" and that the practitioner institution deflected blame rather than taking ownership of issues.
CTLCV Constituent Survey
The document summarizes the results of a survey conducted by CTLCV of its constituents in February 2010. It found that respondents valued the Annual Summit, Scorecard, and Briefing Book most. Most thought CTLCV did an excellent or good job on key products and services. However, candidate endorsements received the most poor evaluations. The majority said CTLCV's work helped them make more informed voting and issue decisions. Over 75% thought CTLCV was meeting its mission statements well. Open responses provided suggestions on how CTLCV could improve outreach and analysis.

Reputation And Leadership Leadership Academy 17.09.09 Slideshare CopyNational Association of Local Councils
This document discusses the importance of reputation for local councils in England. It notes that local councils represent over 16 million people and spend over £500 million pounds, but surveys have found only 33% of people feel their local council provides value for money. The document suggests that effective communication is key to building a positive reputation, as residents who feel well-informed about council services are generally more satisfied. It advises councils to publish guides and magazines about services to improve reputation.Design thinking and the big society
Over the past decade “Design Thinking” has gained currency, initially within design agencies and their commercial work, in design education, and now within the public
and third sector. Design Thinking, as a methodology, it is claimed, solves problems – no matter what they are, no matter how hard. In the context of a wide-ranging critique of public service provision as costly, bureaucratic and often ineffective it is hardly surprising that some are looking to Design as the perfect partner for the Big Society. In this essay
we start by outlining the similarities between Design Thinking and the Big Society. Our attention then shifts to the messy and complex world of social problems and the potential of Design Thinking to intervene. We draw a distinction between the personal troubles of individuals and social problems, and argue that for Design Thinking to work within the latter, it needs to expand its conceptual toolbox. We argue for a refocus away from coming up with solutions to designing problems: for Design to actively, purposefully and reflexively participate in the making and molding of social problems. We then examine some of the features of Design that make it a strong candidate for being involved in such an activity as well as explore the demands that this will inevitably make on Design and designers.
471_Community Relations Chapter 5
The document discusses strategies for effective community relations for organizations. It recommends researching the community's social and political landscape, the organization's credibility within the community, and potential stakeholders. Community outreach builds goodwill through communication channels and deflects criticism. However, it requires time and money investment. Effective tactics include sponsoring local events, getting employee involvement in the community, and maintaining open communication channels to understand community needs and receive feedback. The goal is to increase awareness of the organization, gain support from leaders, and create a positive relationship that can help if major issues arise.

CAVR 2009 Parker Speaking Notes
The document summarizes Martha Parker's presentation on integrated human resources and sustainability through people. Some of the key learnings and trends discussed include: 1) opportunities that arose when large corporations transitioned retiring employees to community placements were not fully leveraged, 2) volunteer boards have potential members who are not being engaged, 3) emerging leaders are being blocked by existing hierarchies, and 4) volunteer programs need to be integrated into overall human resources strategies. Parker advocates for a people-focused approach that values all staff, paid and unpaid.

The document discusses each principle and provides examples of how cities have implemented them. The overall aim is to engage residents in constructive discussions and problem-solving to address community challenges.
The State and LocalParty Organizationscentury ago, man.docx
The passage describes the rise and fall of powerful local political party machines in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. These machines dominated city governments by controlling nominations, rewarding supporters with jobs and favors, and mobilizing large numbers of immigrant voters. However, most machines declined by the 1960s-1970s due to reform movements, racial tensions, and a loss of power in some cities. At their peak, machines provided jobs, services, and other benefits to newcomers in exchange for political loyalty and votes to control city governments.
The standard way to conduct quantitative content analyses prescribes.docx
The standard way to conduct quantitative content analyses prescribes that the main researcher should ideally train other people, called “coders”, to “code” the media content the researcher is interested in analyzing in their study. In other words, ideally the main researcher trains other people how to record numerical information about the media content being studied. Why is this a necessary step in content analyses? Why not just have the main researcher “code” the media messages themselves? And relatedly, if there is more than one “coder” analyzing media content in a study, what is the purpose of collecting intercoder reliability data? What does intercoder reliability data do for the main researcher and their findings?

What does intercoder reliability data do for the main researcher and their findings?

The Star Spangled Banner was a poem written in 1814 during the Bat.docx
The Star Spangled Banner
was a poem written in 1814 during the Battle of Baltimore in the War of 1812. It was adopted as the national anthem in the early 1900s. However, just this year, it has come under scrutiny as the author had been a slave owner and the words are believed by many to have racist undertones.

The Stages of Change The stages of change are Preconte.docx
The Stages of Change
The stages of change are:
Precontemplation (Not yet acknowledging that there is a problem behavior that needs to
be changed)
Contemplation (Acknowledging that there is a problem but not yet ready or sure of
wanting to make a change)
Preparation/Determination (Getting ready to change)
Action/Willpower (Changing behavior)
Maintenance (Maintaining the behavior change) and
Relapse (Returning to older behaviors and abandoning the new changes)
Stage One: Precontemplation
In the precontemplation stage, people are not thinking seriously about changing and are not
interested in any kind of help. People in this stage tend to defend their current bad habit(s) and do
not feel it is a problem. They may be defensive in the face of other people’s efforts to pressure
them to quit.
They do not focus their attention on quitting and tend not to discuss their bad habit with others. In
AA, this stage is called “denial,” but at Addiction Alternatives, we do not like to use that term.
Rather, we like to think that in this stage people just do not yet see themselves as having a
problem.
Are you in the precontemplation stage? No, because the fact that you are reading this shows that
you are already ready to consider that you may have a problem with one or more bad habits.
(Of course, you may be reading this because you have a loved one who is still in the pre-
contemplation stage. If this is the case, keep reading for suggestions about how you can help
others progress through their stages of change)
Stage Two: Contemplation
In the contemplation stage people are more aware of the personal consequences of their bad
habit and they spend time thinking about their problem. Although they are able to consider the
possibility of changing, they tend to be ambivalent about it.
In this stage, people are on a teeter-totter, weighing the pros and cons of quitting or modifying
their behavior. Although they think about the negative aspects of their bad habit and the positives
associated with giving it up (or reducing), they may doubt that the long-term benefits associated
with quitting will outweigh the short-term costs.
It might take as little as a couple weeks or as long as a lifetime to get through the contemplation
stage. (In fact, some people think and think and think about giving up their bad habit and may die
never having gotten beyond this stage)
On the plus side, people are more open to receiving information about their bad habit, and more
likely to actually use educational interventions and reflect on their own feelings and thoughts
concerning their bad habit.
Stage Three: Preparation/Determination
In the preparation/determination stage, people have made a commitment to make a change.
Their motivation for changing is reflected by statements such as: “I’ve got to do something about
this — this is serious. Something has to change. What can I do?”
This is sort of a .

Introduction Chapter 4
4.1 Introduction
In Chapter 1, we defined management as the process that consists of a collection of techniques
used to lead the human resources in an organization to become productive. Notice that a key
element of that definition is the human resource component. The people who work in an organi-
zation are its most valuable resource, because they convert raw materials into finished products
and services, which help generate profits for the business. People also design products and make
decisions about when and how products and services are distributed to maximize organizational
effectiveness. People are often the most valuable asset of the organization. At the same time,
people can be the most expensive part of running a business and often pose the greatest chal-
lenges to effective management (Mathis & Jackson, 1997).

Zappos.com—Strategic Staffing
Shoe stores lose one out of every three sales because the customer’s size is not in stock. This factor
explains some of the success and growth of online shoe sales. The online shoe market share has
reached over $3 billion. Zappos.com, which is an adaptation of the Spanish word for “shoe,” has
captured a 20% share of the overall shoe market. The organization has moved into sales of various
products beyond footwear, increasing sales and market awareness. New product lines include cloth-
ing, electronics, and accessories.
Nick Swinmurn founded Zappos.com in 1999 after spending a day walking in a mall looking for a
pair of shoes and being unable to find the pair he wanted. His first business concept was to create
an inventory so large that the odds of the customer finding exactly the right pair would be very
high. Zappos.com now maintains more than 4 million pairs of shoes in its inventory. The Zappos.
com business model dictates that key customer contacts are made via the phone center. If a cus-
tomer cannot locate the exact pair of shoes he or she wants, the center’s service representative will
direct the person to two or three other companies that might have the item. Each phone operator
is required to exhibit a consistently friendly, upbeat, and helpful demeanor. Zappos.com represents
a prime example of a company that
effectively completes the staffing
function. The overall mission for the
organization combines employee sat-
isfaction with customer satisfaction.

Rome After People
The Roman Empire had its continuation in the east as the Byzantine Empire. But in the west, Europe was shattered by the destruction of Roman institutions. It literally crumbled as people vacated the dying or destroyed urban centers and fled to the country and simpler rural lifeways.
In onsite classes, I like to show the History Channel program called Life After People to demonstrate what it must have felt like to watch a sophisticated complex urban civilization devolve back to nature in the post-classical era. It uses Computer-Generated Imaging to show that, in a scenario where people are removed, time destroys the icons of our complex industrial civilization. Vines tear apart skyscrapers and algae clogs Hoover Dam. The lights go out and nature and wildlife cover the urban landscape.You can rent or stream this video from Netflix.
Rome’s collapse sent Europe backward into a simpler, non-urbanized period. Imagine all the complexities of urban life that we’ve discussed – diversified roles, complex religions and rituals, and levels of classism from elites to slaves – falling apart. The population of the City of Rome itself was reduced from about 1 million to around 10,000.
Without slaves and overseers to maintain baths, theaters, aqueducts and other public amenities of urban Roman life all over Europe, these structures and the customs associated with them fell to ruin. Even literacy and theoretical knowledge fell by the wayside. Historians called it the “Dark Ages” because of an absence of writing from this period to “illuminate” for us what happened then.
Janet Abu-Lughod in her book, Before European Hegemony, paints a picture of Europe as a virtual backwater in the post-classical period. Not so the rest of the Old World! Trade and commerce, exchange of ideas, language, and culture, and a steady stream of.

The St. Clare Hospital was founded in 1988. In the past few years, t.docx
The St. Clare Hospital was founded in 1988. In the past few years, the revenues have dropped steadily to a point where CEO James Edwards is considering cost control to improve the organization’s bottom line. Mr. Edwards understands physicians play a critical role in controlling cost, but they do not have a great interest in cooperating with him to sustain the viability of the hospital. Mr. Edwards decides to hire Wendy Jones as the chief operating officer and empower her to cut costs for the hospital.
The first measure taken by
Ms. Jones is to outsource the interpretation of imaging readings and fire the radiologist Dr. Harris. By doing so, the hospital would save $160,000 per year. However, after two weeks, the hospital sees 18% inaccuracy rates in outsourced reading reports. The hospital might face legal liabilities from inaccurate readings. Mr. Edwards and Ms. Jones want to stay with the plan to control costs, but the physicians are furious. The medical director, Dr. Wiseman, gathers all staff physicians to a call for action.
Write a four-to six-page double-spaced paper (excluding title and reference pages), addressing the following:
Describe types of conflict identified in this case.
Explain conflict management styles evidenced in this case.
Propose a conflict resolution strategy to be used.
Recommend strategies to reduce cost and legal liabilities.
Including an introduction and conclusion paragraph, your paper must be 5 spaced pages (excluding title and reference pages) and formatted according to APA style

The Specificity Principle in Acculturation ScienceMarc H. .docx
The Specificity Principle in Acculturation Science
Marc H. Bornstein
Child and Family Research, Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human
Development, National Institutes of Health, Public Health Service
Abstract
The Specificity Principle in Acculturation Science asserts that specific setting conditions of
specific people at specific times moderate specific domains in acculturation by specific processes.
Our understanding of acculturation depends critically on what is studied where, in whom, how,
and when. This article defines, explains, and illustrates the Specificity Principle in Acculturation
Science. Research hypotheses about acculturation can be more adequately tested, inconsistencies
and discrepancies in the acculturation literature can be satisfactorily resolved, acculturation
interventions can be tailored to be more successful, and acculturation policies can be brought to
new levels of effectiveness if the specificity principle that governs acculturation science is more
widely recognized.
Migration and Acculturation
The world is in motion. Throughout human history, people have been on the move, and
migration and acculturation have been facts of the human condition ever since peoples of the
African savannah radiated outward in their treks to new lands (Cann, Stoneking, & Wilson,
1987; Jin et al., 1999; Stringer, 1988). Polynesian expansion, Phoenician trade, Jewish
diaspora, Persian realm, Alexandrian conquest, Roman hegemony, Hun invasion, Umayyad
caliphate, Viking settlement, Ifat sultanate, Hanseatic league, and Columbian exchange
illuminate the history of successive intercultural contacts, just as, beginning 23 centuries BC
with Sargon’s expansion of Akkad across the Fertile Crescent, Egyptian, Kushite, Aksumite,
Ottoman, Inca, Mongol, Songhai, Moghul, Napoleonic, and British empires—all
intercultural permeations—followed one another inexorably. Indeed, human beings have not
ceased migrating even though virtually all habitable places on earth have long since been
settled.
It comes as little surprise, then, that migration and acculturation are global concerns in our
own time. Everywhere one looks, the numbers stun. What in 1990 was 154 million and in
2000 175 million, the United Nations (U.N.) Population Division reported that as of 2015
nearly 245 million people live outside the country of their birth or citizenship. That
translates into roughly 1 in every 30 people on the face of the globe (United Nations, 2016).

The special education resource teacher is trying to quiet an agitate.docx
The special education resource teacher is trying to quiet an agitated student in the library. The student is so out of control that he turns over his chair and throws a book from the shelf at the resource teacher. The resource teacher is struck in the head by the book. The regular education teacher attempts to restore calmness by slamming a large paperweight onto a table. The teacher has to remove the student from the library due to his uncontrollable behavior. The regular education teacher holds onto the student’s upper arm to guide him out of the library to a time-out area designated for this type of behavior. The student yells derogatory remarks at the teacher and tells her she will be sued. The next day, the parents of the student contacts the school administration and school resource officer with a report of child abuse.
Decide if there is a possible tort law liability and who might be liable? Next, propose an alternate way to resolve the situation above to avoid possible tort law liability.

The Sony Pictures Entertainment Hack The Problem On .docx
The Sony Pictures Entertainment Hack
The Problem
On November 24, 2014, a hacker group called the “Guardians of Peace” or
GOP successfully attacked Sony Pictures Entertainment (www.sonypictures.com;
SPE). The attackers obtained personally identifiable information about 47,000
current and former SPE employees and their dependents. These materials included
numerous sensitive e-mails among top SPE executives concerning actors, financial
deals, and creative disagreements; executive salaries; and complete copies of
unreleased Sony films. The information included names, addresses, social security
numbers, driver's license numbers, passport numbers, bank account information,
credit card information used for corporate travel and expenses, usernames and
passwords, and compensation and other employment-related information. The
hackers claimed to have stolen more than 100 terabytes of data from SPE.
The GOP initially released the most damaging information over the Internet.
This information consisted of digital copies of SPE films that had been released (e.g.,
Fury) or were yet to be released (e.g., Annie). In addition, the attackers announced
they would continue to release more interesting SPE information.
Although the specific motives for the attack had not been revealed as of mid-
2016, the hack has been linked to the planned release of the SPE film The Interview.
In this movie, producers of a tabloid television show learn that North Korea's leader,
Kim Jong Un, is a big fan of the show, and they set up an interview with him. While
the show's team is preparing for the interview, the CIA recruits them to assassinate
Kim Jong Un.
Prior to the Sony hack, North Korean officials had expressed concerns about
the film to the United Nations. The officials stated that “to allow the production and
distribution of such a film on the assassination of an incumbent head of a sovereign
state should be regarded as the most undisguised sponsoring of terrorism as well as
an act of war.”
On December 16, 2014, the GOP mentioned The Interview by name, and they
threatened to take terrorist actions against the film's New York City premiere at
Sunshine Cinema on December 18. The GOP also threatened similar actions on the
film's America-wide release date of December 25 (Christmas).
On December 18, two messages allegedly from the GOP appeared. The first
claimed that the GOP would not release any further information if SPE agreed not to
release The Interview and to remove it completely from the Internet. The second
http://www.sonypictures.com/
stated that SPE had “suffered enough” and it could release the film, but only if Kim
Jong Un's death scene was not “too happy.”
In the aftermath of the attack, the studio was forced to use fax machines, to
communicate through hard-copy posted messages, and to pay its employees with
paper checks. Employees worked with pen and paper, and shops located on Sony
property accepted only cash.

The soul friendships” can be difficult to cultivate. As it sta.docx
The “soul friendships” can be difficult to cultivate. As it states in the chapter, they can take time to develop, but usually there is some sort of commonality between the two people in which the friendship can develop into one of the soul. The example in the chapter in which Mark Vernon uses for this is between Montaigne and La Boetie. Montaigne is said to state that individuals that are capable of soul friendship are rare and thus the soul friendship even rarer. He goes on to say that they are a force of destiny. However, Mark Vernon points out that the friendship in which Montaigne and La Boetie formed was based off of timing and the period in which the lived. Both had similar, and dangerous points of view for the time, so when the met their friendship already had a foundation to built upon. This is an important aspect for the development of a friendship of the soul because without some form of commonality in where mutual respect is given the friendship cannot develop into something deeper. The author also uses Emerson and Fuller as an example, even all Emerson uses the “phrase divine friendship.” When they firs met Emerson did not initially take a liking to her, however he soon had a great respect for her because of her mind. This then laid a common ground and mutual respect was able to form and then deepen into a friendship of the soul. I think it is important for friends of the soul to have a foundation of mutual respect, and by having this they are less inclined to be upset or the friendship failing when the other person is completely honest with them. In fact, that should be something that is welcomed, because they respect each other to such a degree that it goes beyond petty indifferences. I can say that I have one such friend, I may not call our friendship a “soul friendship” but it is close. I respect him and he respects me and we have always been able to be honest with each other. It is a friendship where, although there is still and element of self-loving, we can see past our differences and in a way that makes the friendship more meaningful. The reason I say this is that I can count on him to real me back in when I am being a little stubborn, or when I cannot see the truth of a matter because I am blinded by some emotion. The key to is to be honest and respectful and to understand that difference of opinions is what makes the friendship more than just someone I can be around and be polite to.

The song is black holes by the Renee Rosnes Quintet
Contemporary jazz reflects both its past and the current music scene in general. Some artists are more traditional and are attached to older styles, while others stretch jazz to a place that is not necessarily even recognizable to many as jazz. R&B styles and musical styles from around the world have become common as part of the jazz language. Though this kind of genre mixing has been around in jazz for a long time, jazz today has its own sound and styles.

This presentation was provided by Steph Pollock of The American Psychological Association’s Journals Program, and Damita Snow, of The American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), for the initial session of NISO's 2024 Training Series "DEIA in the Scholarly Landscape." Session One: 'Setting Expectations: a DEIA Primer,' was held June 6, 2024.LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

The Seattle.gov and Barnett articles indicate two initiatives .docx
- 1. The Seattle.gov and Barnett articles indicate two initiatives from the city to expand access to decision-making and resources in Seattle. What do you think of Mayor Durkan’s EDI investment effort? Is this “good” community development? Does it respond to some of the key concerns we have been discussing? What about the decision (4 years ago) to dismantle the old “District Council” model of community participation? Will this new setup be better, or more equitable? Consider the critiques in the end of the Barnett article, and the ones from the WBEZ article about the Chicago PD. Is the new approach to Seattle’s Department of Neighborhoods (city-run instead of district-based neighborhood groups) more inclusive, or is it just lip-service? How do we reconcile the value and use of community commissions and enhanced community voice when we so often and so easily reject their recommendations? Is community engagement just a “box to be checked”? How can we tell if it’s empowerment, or just “lip service”? Is it obvious?
