Book Description
Community-based research (CBR) refers to collaborative investigation by academics and non-academic community members that fosters positive change on a local level. Despite recent trends toward engaged scholarship, few publications demonstrate how to effectively integrate CBR into academic course work or take advantage of its potential for achieving community change. Community-Based Research: Teaching for Community Impact fills these gaps by providing: * An overview of language and methods used by professionals engaged in CBR* A framework for orienting CBR toward concrete community outcomes* Effective ways to integrate CBR into course content, student-driven projects, and initiatives spanning disciplines, curricula, campuses and countries* Lessons learned in working toward positive outcomes for students and in communitiesThis text is designed for faculty, graduate students, service-learning and other engaged learning and scholarship practitioners, alliance members, special interest groups, and organizations that desire to strengthen student learning and utilize research for improvement in their communities.

Book Description
This guide was written as a quick primer for transportation professionals and analysts who assess the impacts of proposed transportation actions on communities. It outlines the community impact assessment process, highlights critical areas that must be examined, identifies basic tools and information sources, and stimulates the thought-process related to individual projects. In the past, the consequences of transportation investments on communities have often been ignored or introduced near the end of a planning process, reducing them to reactive considerations at best. The goals of this primer are to increase awareness of the effects of transportation actions on the human environment and emphasize that community impacts deserve serious attention in project planning and development-attention comparable to that given the natural environment. Finally, this guide is intended to provide some tips for facilitating public involvement in the decision making process.

Book Description
This is a work summarizing in one volume the pioneering approach of the author to public-interest decision-taking in the field of urban & regional planning. This book is aimed at students, researchers and professionals in planning. Nathaniel Lichfield first introduced in his "Economics of Planned Development" the concept that, in any use and development of land, the traditional "development balance sheet" of the developers needed to be accompanied by a "planning balance sheet" prepared by the planning officer or planning authority. Over the forty years since this work was published, the author has brought to the operational level the "planning balance sheet", with many case studies, primarily for consultancy purposes. The present title reflects the incorporation during the 1970s of the then emerging field of environmental impact assessment.

Book Description
In 1996, the Federal Highway Administration initiated efforts to re-educate transportation professionals and enhance their expertise on how to address possible adverse social, economic, and environmental effects during project planning, development, and decision making. A user-friendly primer, "Community Impact Assessment," was published in September 1996 on how to conduct a community impact assessment to address the impacts of proposed transportation actions on communities, neighborhoods, and people. To complement the primer, this document, "Community Impact Mitigation: Case Studies," provides examples of how transportation projects have been planned, designed, and constructed to be neighborhood friendly; avoid, minimize, and mitigate impacts; and, where appropriate, enhance the livability of communities and neighborhoods. This document contains five case studies: Community Mitigation and Enhancement - Durham, North Carolina; Community Cohesion - Oak Park, Michigan; Community Preservation - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Community Reconstruction - Seattle, Washington; and Community Revitalization - Prichard, Alabama.
