Outline for Walkability of Sunnyside Neighborhood Presentation
I. Introduction
- state research question: Is Sunnyside Neighborhood in
Portland, Oregon, a “walkable neighborhood”?
- define “walkable”
- use sources from www.walkable.org, Portland’s
Pedestrian Design Guide and PSU Library’s Online Databases (my favorite
one is Academic Search Premier – found a lot with just “walkable” as a
search term in the title; had fewer results with other search combos)
- define “Sunnyside Neighborhood”
o
use map from
PortlandMaps.com or Office of Neighborhood Involvement
II. Methodology
- discuss walkability grid, using “Levels of
Quality of Walking” from http://www.walkable.org/images/1_LOQWalking.jpg
- discuss random selection of 3 residential
streets and 3 main streets (no room for a lot of detail; just indicate
that the selection was random – in a paper, I could write out the entire
process I used)
- discuss basic data-gathering methodology of
going out and taking measurements, counting specific phenomena, taking
photos, etc.
- discuss other sources of data: Census, historical sources, etc.
III. Data Analysis
- discuss how I “graded” each street
- summarize the key characteristics
- provide photo to illustrate one aspect from
each street
IV. Conclusions
- Conclude that Sunnyside is a walkable
neighborhood
- Suggest reasons why (density, historical
design, sociodemographic characteristics of residents)
