ANALYZING THE 1996

• Quality of Life generally improved in Georgia between 1990 to 2010 • Quality of Life index increased more between 2000 and 2010 than 1990 and 2000, but no patterns or conclusive findings • No spatial-based patterns or conclusive findings • Index requires more detailed data and further testing to determine utility as a tool • Larger outside patterns and trends may be affecting quality of life in the areas studied • Lack of pattern may be due to the Atlanta Games’ use of preexisting venues and their locations

For the purposes of this project, the most essential conclusions were based on how the quality of life index changes over time. In order to understand the data and organize it in a systematic way, the 1990 and 2000 US Census data and 2010 ACS data were spatially organized according to 2010 census boundaries. Due to the Modifiable Aerial Unit Problem, it had to be assumed for the purposes of this project that the data is consistent across the census tracts when reconciling differences in shape, size, and number of census tracts. After the data was fully organized, the quality of life per census tract was calculated for each year, and then the datasets were merged together. The quality of life calculation used here is based off of the UN index and assumes that the data used and index changes made are close enough to the original index. Change over time within the index was calculated and then compared spatially based on distance from the Olympic venues as compared to the state-wide mean.

Appendix

Atlantic City Goes Double or Nothing: Playing Through the Resort Cycle To grow up in Atlantic City is to grow up in an paradise—there are beautiful beaches no more than a mile away, there are casinos, shopping, and events available 24/7, and there is a constant stream of visitors and new friends to be made. For over 150 years, Atlantic City has been this hub of fun and recreation, developing from a beach resort to a center for vices to one of the largest gaming resorts. When one looks at the resort cycle model, explained in detail below, Atlantic City’s continued success is abnormal and has defied the nature of a tourist resort. This paper will take a look at the development and concept of the resort cycle, analyze the history of Atlantic City, argue that Atlantic City is in the final stage of its second resort cycle, and look to the future of the resort to assess whether Atlantic City has the potential to revitalize itself or fade into the ocean. In discussing Atlantic City with Israel Posner1 via telephone, he kept insisting that Atlantic City was first and only ever a resort city—a city whose sole purpose is to attract tourists. Several articles2 written in the 1960s and 1970s continued the work of earlier tourism scholars and began finding a pattern within the life of tourist resorts. This led to the development of the term ‘resort cycle’ in 1978 by Charles Stansfield in “Atlantic City and the Resort Cycle,” and a
