S3. Stormwater Wetland & Re-graded Flood terrace

H YD R O-LOG IC John Roberts A mile-long stretch of the Petaluma River north of downtown Petaluma is the site of a flood control project with concrete walls and a modified channel with degraded habitat and the possiblity of future catestrophic failure. Embracing the river as the heart of the city, the challenge of this project was to create a multi-functional landscape. The channel was regraded to maintain flood protection through an enlarged river terraces and earthen levees while provisioning for access on both sides. A planting plan was developed to restore and regenerate a lost transitional brackish/freshwater riparian landscape.

CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT

Wilderness invokes the feeling, in many of us, of a place that is beyond human control: uninhabited, isolated, powerful. This pure idea of nature has often played the muse for designed landscapes but being constrained by scale, these parodies are really highly exaggerated constructions of the human imagination. They are idealized hybrids that hide both their constructed nature and natural processes beneath a beautiful surface. In our design, the intention is to render the hand of the designer self-evident from without, while synthesizing and exaggerating the form of nature from within. The visitor is immersed within the bowl of hyper-nature, yet the landscape arises modestly from a grid of poles. We intend to create a dual experience whereby the landscape must be entered to be understood.

CONSTRAINTS

COMPOSITE

OPTIMAL SITE ANALYSIS

Use Service Area Network Analysis on locations of Farmer’s Markets using a distance impedance of .25, .5, .75, 1, 1.25, 1.5 miles. Weight as constraint.

Step4

Step3

Use Service Area Network Analysis on locations of Metro Stations using a distance impedance of .25, .5, .75, 1, 1.25, 1.5 miles. Weight as opportunity.

Geolocate Farmer’s Markts using Google Earth exported as KML

Union opportunities and total all opportunities. Union Opportunities and Constraints. Total Constraints & Opportunities Use attribute table to highlight polygons of greatest weight.

ASSUMPTIONS: People walk at 2 miles per hour and desire to walk is negatively correlated to distance, falling at an equal rate. In reality, there is probably an exponential decrease in desire to walk to a market with increased distance. Also, not all opportunities and constraints are the same weight however in this model we weighted them evenly.

Step2

Visually inspect optimal regions overlayed on a base map to select parcels for a new farmer’s market.

LIMITATIONS: CENSUS: Missing census data for central LA. Scale limitations: Poverty and Population density data was only available at the tract level and would have been more precise with Block Census Data. Furthermore, the ACS methodology for determining Poverty is opaque and may have skewed results in either direction. FARMER’S MARKET: Dataset may not represent all current markets. There may be more or less. With time, identifying more constraints and opportunities would improve the precision of the model.

Step5

In ArcScene, add raster, in properties: ‘Floating on a custom surface’; Elevation exaggeration: 1000

Our analysis identified only one region of greatest opportunity for a new farmer’s market - with a combined value of 21 - in the neighborhood of Willowbrook, just north of Compton - midway between downtown Los Angeles and Long Beach. Examining aerial imagery of the region identified by our analysis, we discovered that there were no open lots within the boundary but several public parking lots within 1/4 mile of the most suitable polygon. Though not explicitly part of the analysis, proximity to the highway system would increase accessibility by people using cars and by the farmers themselves.

OPPOTUNITIES

OPP. UNION

The intent of this study is to identify a site most suitable for a new farmer’s market in Greater Los Angeles. To identify the optimal locations for a new farmer’s market in the Greater Los Angeles region we performed a suitability analysis which required identifying opportunities and constraints. We identified poverty and population density as opportunities as well as walking proximity to a metro station in order to serve an even larger population. The single constraint was walking proximity of the current locations of farmer’s markets. Suitablity for a new market was determined as a union of these weighted constaints and opportunities. Once optimal sites were selected, we investigated these regions visually to identify the best parcel for the location of a new farmer’s market.

Step2

METHODS PROBLEM

1. Geolocate LA Farmer’s Markets from Google Maps, KML conversion in ArcGIS 2. Network Preparation and Network Analysis 3. 3D Interpoation of opportunity & suitability rasters in ArcScene 4. Suitability Analysis

PROCESS DIAGRAM

Farmer’s markets bring fresh, healthy foods within easy reach of city dwellers. As obesity climbs and the link between poverty, obesity, and access to fresh food has become more apparent, promoting more fresh food markets within easy grasp of the most vulnerable populations while also prioritizing public transportation is a way to combat this problem.
