Delineation of geological problems for use in urban planning
Activities of the University of Alabama in support of state and local planning commissions are reported. Demonstrations were given of the various types of remotely sensed images available from U-2, Skylab, and LANDSAT; and their uses and limitations were discussed. Techniques to be used in determining flood prone areas were provided for environmental studies. A rapid, inexpensive method for study was developed by which imagery is copied on 35 mm film and projected on existing topographic maps for measuring delta volume and growth
An investigation of the mid-Missouri regional planning commissioners perception and acceptance of regional planning
Data were collected concerning the commissioners' background, attitudes toward local governments, predisposition toward change, and attitudes toward the Regional Planning Commission. This information was analyzed with the aid of a regression model to find what significant factors, if any, were important in the formation of their attitudes toward the RPC. Observations included: (1) Commissioners from smaller towns and communities seemed to have little interest in the RPC. (2) No significant relationship existed between the commissioners' predisposition toward change and their perception of or their involvement in the RPC. (3) No significant relationship existed between the commissioners' attitudes toward local governments and their attitudes toward the RPC. (4) Two distinctive groups of commissioners emerged. Those commissioners who were locally oriented, having little communications or contract with the people outside their immediate locality, viewed the RPC as primarily a planning agency. Those commissioners who were more cosmopolitan, and better versed in political matters, viewed the RPC as primarily a funding agency. Suggestions for improvement of the RPC are made.Includes bibliographical references
