Financing and Implementing Sustainable Development: A Local Planning Approach |
|
There is a significant amount of research on the concepts of "sustainability" and "sustainable development," yet few studies focus on how to move communities toward sustainability, encourage developers to use the principles of sustainability in construction or how to get cities to integrate these principles into their regulatory framework. The major objective of this report is the development of an inventory, or "primer," of innovative methods for the development, finance and implementation of sustainable developments. Through the use of case studies, the identification of specific methods, techniques, and policies, and scenario-building, this primer will provide direction for interested participants in the process of sustainability. This report includes a discussion of the complex and ambiguous concepts of "sustainability," "sustainable development," and "sustainable transportation" in order to develop a basic understanding and framework for the report. Many barriers exist which confront planners, decision makers, and advocates when attempting to move a community along the path to sustainability, including cultural and behavioral, professional norms, economic development practices, and traditional planning practices. This report also presents several case studies which illustrate how communities, regions, and countries are approaching the problems associated with unsustainable transportation practices. These cases are supplemented by inventories of solutions to these barriers which are derived from further examinations of the research on and application of sustainability at the local level. Four categories of solutions are outlined: policy solutions, legislative solutions, planning solutions, and financial solutions. The findings from this study are then aggregated into a framework for the development of a scenario for sustainable transportation. This scenario consists of a modification model for transforming the traditional comprehensive planning process into one which integrates sustainability and objectives of sustainable development. This scenario presents a cyclical process for sustainable development from finance through implementation. The final section of the report focuses on the difficulty in integrating sustainability, as a concept, and sustainable development into professional practices and paradigms. For sustainable transportation to "work" it must become ingrained in our practice as planners and engineers. This report is an attempt to move in this direction. [Note: Full text is in PDF format]

Vascular Plants Endemic to Texas |
|
"This prototype informatics system is designed to use dynamic, specimen-based data for mapped visualization of species distributions and geographic centers of diversity for vascular plants endemic to Texas. Maps are generated 'on the fly' via interaction between the system and a dynamic database. Changes in the data, through on-line input from registered users, produce immediate changes in the maps. . . . The Diversity Map options provides a visual summation for county-level distributions of 326 taxa currently identified as Texas endemics. Selection (mouse - left click) of a county from this map will generate a linked listing of Texas endemics found in that county. The Checklist displays all Texas endemics, listed in alphabetical order by rank, with a suite of mapping/information links. The Browse option leads to a similar listing that includes distribution statements from the base data and linkage to other elements derived from the base data."

Ecosystem Modeling Group |

"Our research is concerned with understanding the behaviour of biological systems in the marine environment. This involves developing means to understand how the interactions between biological, physical, chemical and geological influences affect these systems. We do this by formulating mathematical and computer models to help synthesize available information about these various influences and their effects on marine systems.If these models are successful, they should be able to accurately predict how the ecosystem will react to changes in external forcings (e.g., a change in nutrients resulting from changes in land usage). Developing models helps increase our understanding of how these systems work." Current Research includes Ecosystem Models, Seagrass & Kelp, Marine Particles, and Larval Transport.
