| dc.description.abstract | This report outlines work by students in the Art and Sustainable Society course in the University of Oregon Arts and Administration Program during the fall 2011 term and provides recommendations to the City of Springfield for further study and action. It can be used as an example and guide for further community mapping and community engagement. This project focused on mapping the cultural resources of the City of Springfield, specifically the Laura Street and Brattain neighborhoods. The report reviews the students’ process of cultural mapping, the information gathered, trends identified within the information, and suggestions for further study and engagement. The first sections of this report contain background information on Springfield and the resources used by the Laura Street and Brattain neighborhoods. Descriptions and findings from the Laura Street and Brattain neighborhoods make up the following two sections. Each neighborhood section contains a description of the methodology used to address the corresponding objectives provided by the city of Springfield. These methods include surveying, interviewing, and cultural mapping. This data was then used to draw concluding recommendations, which makes up the final segmented portion of this report. The Laura Street neighborhood section of this report details suggestions to increase quality of life within the neighborhood. The Brattain neighborhood section of this report details suggestions to develop a continuum of “cradle through college and career” solutions to improve the educational and developmental outcomes of children in the area. The final section of this document details suggestions that relate to both the Laura Street and Brattain neighborhoods, and summarize this project and the suggestions of both groups to help uplift and enhance the quality of life in the City of Springfield. Appendices that consist of a copy of the surveys distributed, and a glossary of terms used within this document, follow the Conclusion section. | en_US |
