Abstract
Residential landscaping is a focal point of academic observation regarding design, ecology, sociology, and geography. Previous studies often have conflictual dimensions, yet rarely is the focus of studies regarding residential landscaping centered around conflict. This exploratory thesis seeks to create a multidisciplinary framework, built upon Conflict Resolution studies, with which to analyze conflicts of residential landscaping in the United States. It includes numerous case studies of relevant conflicts. The final chapter contains a thematic analysis of 12 structured interviews conducted with participants who have been party to residential landscaping conflicts. Four overarching themes were discovered. The connection to the preliminary framework included in this thesis is connected to the thematic results and leads to suggestions for future research.This Thesis contains previously un-published co-authored material.
