GIS could be able to analyze the area by using various attribute data such as welfare level, land and housing value and other sensitive information. There are some problems either ethical or practical to use GIS as tool to involve the public to find the neighbourhood problems. The problems are about transparency of information and private privacy. Moreover, Managing data would need an expert to organize using GIS. This practice could make disempowerment potential assets in community.

Each alternative is evaluated for technical feasibility, economic feasibility, administrative feasibility, and political acceptability. By evaluating each alternative by these prescriptive criteria, the most feasible alternative can be pinpointed. Each criterion is defined, measured for ability to meet goals and objectives for solving the problem, and assessed according to a decision standard that provides for identifying the alternative that best fits operational requirements. Technical Feasibility – Each alternative is measured for its capacity for seemless operability and whether the inherent knowledge, skills and abilities are in place and sufficient to deliver program requirements. This is characterized in three different ways: 1) the alternative’s capacity for expanding supply of affordable housing is defined by the number of affordable housing units created per year.
Environmental Issues Who’s Obligation? Janet Mitchell Soc 120 Professor Peabody July 7, 2010 Environmental Issues – Who’s Obligation? This paper will address the need for appropriate actions in regards to environmental issues, and who is ethically and socially obligated to carry out such actions. It will also outline the ethical decision making process in which these actions are decided. The fact that there are so many environmental issues that needs to be addressed is an issue in itself.
The conflict perspective is when social behavior is represented from groups (Schaefer, 14). These types of groups could include housing, money, access to services, etc. (Schaefer, 14). These types of interaction in the conflict perspective could be labor negotiation, political parties, or about the federal budget (Schaefer, 14). The third major theoretical perspective is the interactionist perspective.
Anker traces the intellectual and political connections between members of the Bauhaus, such as Laszlo Moholy-Nagy, and influential members of the ecological design movement, including Ian McHarg. Focusing on their shared desire to unite art and science, Anker convincingly argues that ecological design is heir to the Bauhaus and is characterized by a high modernist focus on control and perfection. [2] Anker begins by carefully illustrating the role that nature played as a design inspiration for the members of the Bauhaus. Nature was an essential, but often overlooked, element of Bauhaus designs from its very beginning. According to Laszlo Moholy-Nagy, its famous mantra, “form follows function,” was actually meant as a reference to how nature’s designs emerge from the creative pressures of evolution (2).
We have developed economic instruments to try to satisfy the needs of the present generation efficiently, but these are not adequate for addressing equity issues with future generations. While the incorporation of externalities is intended to ensure that the benefits from a proposed action exceed the costs and that those who bear these costs be adequately compensated, in practice it operates from the perspective of the present generation. Environmental externalities are focused primarily on the costs that the present generation bears in polluted air, water, and soils from industrial development, in deforestation, and in other aspects of economic development. The discount rate is used to consider future costs and benefits, again from the perspective of the present generation. Reliance on the discount rate to consider
Equipment is needed if visual aids are incorporated. Facilitator An initial, important decision is determining the purpose of the group or team presentation. If the purpose is to provide practice in presentation skills, everyone within the group or on the team should be required to speak. If the purpose is to present information resulting from a group or team project, it is possible that not everyone will need to present, depending on the nature of the information to be presented. That is, if the information logically organizes itself into two or three major areas, it might not be practical for everyone to present.
As a result, the development, nature and understanding of different social institutions, including the family, health-care systems, religion, education, media, politics and economy, are determined or affected by these three social theories. To understand the three theories and how they affect different social institutes, one must first understand what a sociological theory is. The definition put forth by Purdue states the following: “Sociological theory is a set of assumptions, assertions, and propositions, organized in the form of an explanation or interpretation, of the nature, form, or content of social action” (Purdue, p. 1). Each sociological theory mentioned above: functionalism, conflict, and interactionism, presents a different set of assumptions or perspective that define a particular
