Item type: Item , Making the Invisible Visible: A Geospatial History of the Japanese-American Community in Tacoma, Washington 1888 to 1942(2010-06-01) Jones, Judith A.Introduction:Prior to World War II, the urban core area of Tacoma, Washington served as the hub of a culturally rich Japanese-American community. Beginning in the late 1880's, the booming railroad, timber, and agriculture industries attracted workers to this region, including many Japanese immigrants. Tacoma's "Japantown" or Nihon Machiencompassed the area between 11thand 19thStreets and Pacific and Tacoma Avenues. Japantownexperienced its zenith between 1900 and 1920. After 1920, "it began a slow decline, culminating with the internment of Japanese-Americans during World War II" (Morrison 2, 41,42). This once culturally dynamic area is now in need of recognition and preservation. The goal of this project, therefore, has been to collect and analyze primary data from various historical archive sources (such as books, old maps, and newspaper clippings) in order to identify any geospatial patterns that exist between the visual representation of Tacoma's Pre-World War II Japanese community and contemporary Tacoma. These analyses can then offer insights into recognizing and preserving important historical elements.Item type: Item , Making the Invisible Visible: A Geospatial History of the Pre-World War II Japanese Community in Tacoma, Washington(2010-06-01) Howey, Meaghan C.No abstract available.Item type: Item , Item type: Item , Item type: Item , Neighborhood Perception: The Effects of Population Density and Income Rate on Ones Idea of Neighborhood Size(2008-06-01) Augustin, RyanNo abstract available.Item type: Item , Music Venue Clusters in Tacoma and Seattle, WA: Identifying Indicators of Vibrancy(2013-06-01) Coutsouridis, ChristopherNo abstract available.Item type: Item , Natural Resource Use in Clayoquot and Barkley Sounds(2013-06-01) Huber, NannetteNo abstract available.Item type: Item , Item type: Item , Item type: Item , Item type: Item , Mapping Invasive Plant Species at Point Defiance Park(2013-06-01) Tingle, ZachNo abstract available.Item type: Item , Item type: Item , Predicting Optimal Bike Routes to Tacoma Public High Schools(2013-06-01) Symer, KrisNo abstract available.Item type: Item , Item type: Item , Proposed Educational Community Garden Locations in Tacoma, Washington(2013-06-01) McAllister, ChristinaNo abstract available.Item type: Item , Predicting Gentrification: Seattle-Tacoma Metro Region(2011-06-01) Alisdari, LanaNo abstract available.Item type: Item , Perceptions: A Sociospatial Significance Indicator of Green Space(2008-06-01) Minnella, HeatherNo abstract available.Item type: Item , Participatory Geographic Information Systems: Using the Community's Knowledge(2011-06-01) Sukola, RachaelNo abstract available.Item type: Item , Washington State Regions of High Population Density with Air Pollution from Point & Mobile Sources With Focus on King & Pierce Counties Schools and Parks(2008-06-01) Scholting, KellyIntroduction:There are various forms of air pollution with some of the most common caused by human activities. Some types of air pollution are from point sources and from mobile sources. Point sources of air pollution replaces that are stationary, usually major industrial facilities that put out a certain amount of pollutants each year. Mobile sources include automobiles such as cars, trucks and buses. Automobiles have been closely linked with increasing levels of air pollution in urban areas (Bhandari, et al. ND). The most common form of traffic pollution is carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides (Hansen et al 2007). With increased traffic volume and air pollution can lead to population health problems (Afshar and Delvar, 2007). Specifically, people who live in areas that are exposed to high levels of these pollutants are at risk for increased respiratory related illnesses. For example, nitrogen oxides can prompt an allergic reaction (Batchelder, 2006). What regions in Washington State have the highest population density and are exposed to high levels of traffic pollution, and point source carbon monoxide and point source nitrogen oxides? For more detailed inquiry for King and Pierce counties where are the high population, high pollution areas and what percentage of these are as have public places where people are there a lot such as schools and parks?Item type: Item ,
