Qualitative research
Informed by the social sciences My general question was revised Why social sciences are included in
EVS! Systematic Qualitative methods:
Participant Observation Identified key informants Evaluated maps of the area Identified photographs that
showed social relationshipsbetween natural and socialsystems
Public records of decision makingprocesses
Engineering Records (pollutionlevels)
Previous social and ecologicaltheories combinations

Where are we going? Sayres issue and suggestions as guidelines
Problem (urbanization and narrow mindset)
Historical analysis (of Lake Olathe and urban planning)
Thesis:
A broad sociological-ecological approach is
necessary in order to understand the currentcondition of Lake Olathe, as determined by pastgovernmental and community actions, and in turn, tocare for Lake Olathe through future policy andcommunity actions.

The Baseline
Social reconstruction of bobwhite and cattle Is grazing good or bad? (Sayre, p. xiv) Symbolic battle between masked bobwhite and cattle
Abstracted Man and abstracted Nature Complete separation between economics and
ecology
Located in southern
Arizona, Buenos AiresNational Wildlife Refugewas established for the
reintroduction of maskedbobwhite quail and to
restore the naturallandscapes and native
wildlife that dependupon it.

General themes emerge Urban planning has seen a transformation of mindsets
over its 157 yr. history
Architects + Social Workers + Government Officials +Public Health Officials
Distinct mindsets shape the field
City Beautiful Movement
Different values assigned to nature
Socially-constructed value trapped in economic value
Built environmentusing nature for beautygovernmental controlsuburban sprawlsocialproblemsinclude environment?

Understanding the Norm
Urban ecology typically involves:
Segregation of economic and social functions
Efficiency of transportation and delivery of utilities
Efficient filling of undeveloped space
Green infrastructure
Requirements for monitoring results
-

New Framework Perspective of a:
dynamic, open, connected system
use of wide range of theories
continual understanding new ecological theories
Wider model

Conclusions Calling for decision makers to not just make decisions
based on social and economic decisions, but alsocontemporary ecological theories and research
New perspective, not just more funding History of urban planning shows transition towards a
more ecological mindset
Planners will play an integral role in combination ofsocial and ecological theory Increase communication between citizens, government,
agencies, and companies Lake Olathe requires this integrated mindset; otherwise it
will continue to deteriorate
