Abstract Details

2010, MCP, University of Cincinnati, Design, Architecture, Art and Planning: Community Planning.
Expanding suburbanization in metropolitan areas cause rapid changes to the surrounding rural landscape. Often the place identity of small rural towns is placed in peril by these rapid changes. Physical and community changes brought by suburbanization erode the traditional bonds between community and town. One such town, Bethany, is shown to suffer the affects of suburbanization. This thesis generates nine indicators of place identity to investigate and compare Bethany with three case study towns which have faced similar pressures. This thesis also investigates planning strategies employed by these case study towns for successful methods of improving place identity which could be applied in Bethany.
