- Abstract/Description

In the last twenty years, cultural resource preservation and management is becoming an impactful venture for all levels of a community in the build-up and wake of a disaster. All forms of government, from local to international, are seeing the value of cultural resources to the resiliency of an area and yet there is more growth to be seen in disaster management planning. With Hurricane Nicole sweeping the coast of Palm Beach County in November 2022, the reality of having a pre-storm...
Show moreIn the last twenty years, cultural resource preservation and management is becoming an impactful venture for all levels of a community in the build-up and wake of a disaster. All forms of government, from local to international, are seeing the value of cultural resources to the resiliency of an area and yet there is more growth to be seen in disaster management planning. With Hurricane Nicole sweeping the coast of Palm Beach County in November 2022, the reality of having a pre-storm assessment of cultural resources became paramount as the state of Palm Beach County’s cultural resources management plan is ill-equipped to handle the growing rise of climate change. This thesis utilizes the National Park Service’s Cultural Resource Climate Change Strategy (CRCC Strategy) as a foundation for developing a cultural resource management document for unincorporated areas in Palm Beach County. From the CRCC Strategy, interview questions were developed and delivered to Palm Beach County Officials to help with the development of the Cultural Resource Document. With climate change and resilience as the backbone of this thesis, the Adaptive Cycle of Resilience Theory is integrated into the development and analysis of the Cultural Resource Document. To bring practicality to the Cultural Resource Document, Dubois Historic District Park is used as its case study. The outlook on the creation of the Cultural Resource Document is to provide a steppingstone for unincorporated areas of Palm Beach County to manage cultural resources and provide municipalities an entry into disaster management studies.

The dissertation identified methods used by these teachers to enhance interaction between themselves and students in their classes. Objectives of the study were to explore: (1) the verbal and non-verbal activities used by the teachers to engage their students in the learning process in their classes; (2) the creative thinking process of the teachers; (3) the classroom settings that enhanced the interaction between teachers and students; (4) the transdisciplinary skills of the teachers; and (5) the relation between transformational leadership criteria of teachers and their effective engagement with students in classrooms.

- Abstract/Description
-
An input-output model was applied to 1972 Florida Gold Coast regional data, by reducing the 1967 National Input-Output table using the simple location quotient technique of Schaffer and Chu. Input-Output theory and several location quotient techniques were presented prior to the actual exposition of the Gold Coast model. Examples of applications of the model to problems of the region, such as the impact of tourism and housing developments were presented, along with results of the model, and a...
