Transfer of Development Rights for Coastal Adaptation
In response to the risk of sea level rise, planning organizations advocate for Transfer of Development Rights (TDR) Programs as a tool for coastal climate adaptation. But are they effective? In this paper, we conducted a comparative study of coastal TDR programs in the United States and developed program prototypes. We found that TDR programs are better suited for coastal management and accommodation, but less effective for complete retreat. Mean…
Can Florida’s Coast Survive Its Reliance on Development
Problem, research strategy, and findings With its densely built coastline and economic and fiscal reliance on development, Florida is an extreme case of how climate change threatens both the built environment and urban land governance. We conducted one of the first statewide assessments of how sea level rise will affect Florida’s municipal revenues. We paired this with a statewide survey of coastal planners and managers to assess how they have be…
Developing Engagement Principles for Climate and Health Research
The team's advisory board and its funder expressed enthusiasm about the development of these principles and about the prospect of Western researchers conducting a project in a way that values Indigenous and traditional communities as partners and knowledge-holders and has the potential to bring benefits to the communities involved, including increased capacity for activities promoting health, equity, and well-being
Rural communities challenges and ResilientSEE
Rural hazard and disaster planning in the U.S. is understudied. • Spatial and structural vulnerabilities inhibit disaster response delivery to rural communities. • Rural characteristics create specific challenges for disaster response and recovery that differ from urban areas. • Communities need to define resilience locally and what outmigration means for them
Locating Neighborhood Displacement Risks to Climate Gentrification Pressures in Three Coastal Counties in Florida
Residential displacement as a result of climate change impacts will manifest on varied temporal and spatial scales affecting both coastal and inland communities. As coastal residents contend with more frequent shocks and stress from sea-level rise, many will eventually need to abandon their homes and property. Inland communities consisting of socioeconomically vulnerable populations with less exposure to climate change impacts will presumably be …
Spatial disparities in air conditioning ownership in Florida, United States
This study emphasizes the critical role of air conditioning (AC) in preventing heat-related illnesses such as heat exhaustion and heatstroke. The challenge of limited geographic coverage and outdated AC availability data hampers effective heat risk mapping and prevention efforts. We identified areas with significant AC needs and examined factors related to AC ownership in Florida, U.S. Local Indicators of Spatial Association results displayed dis…
Progress of Local Health Department Planning Actions for Climate Change
Public health departments are on the frontlines of protecting vulnerable groups and working to eliminate health disparities through prevention interventions, disease surveillance and community education. Exploration of the roles national, state and local health departments (LHDs) play in advancing climate change planning and actions to protect public health is a developing arena of research. This paper presents insights from local public health d…
Assessment of an evacuation shelter program for people with access and functional needs in Monroe County, Florida during Hurricane Irma
What's the problem with disaster? Anthropology, social work, and the qualitative slot
On March 3, 2019, an EF4 tornado devastated the rural Alabama communities of Beauregard and Smith Station, killing 23 people and causing direct injuries to another 97. This storm was unusually devastating, with twice the predicted casualty rate based on the tornado’s power, the impacted population, and impacted housing stock. In this paper, we apply qualitative methods from anthropology, geography, and planning to better understand the social con…
Implementing a mandate to plan for sea level rise
The 2015 Peril of Flood Act mandates that municipalities in Florida, USA consider sea level rise (SLR) in the coastal element of the comprehensive plan. Because the mandate lacks specificity, planning actors have broad discretion on how to respond. This paper examines how state, regional, and local level actors are implementing the mandate through a case study of the Tampa Bay region. Documents and interviews reveal that state agency staff provid…
Mandated Planning for Climate Change
Problem, research strategy, and findings Florida’s 2015 Peril of Flood Act requires that coastal localities incorporate sea level rise (SLR) planning policies into their comprehensive plans. We surveyed planners and reviewed more than 150 plans to determine how communities responded to the state mandate along three domains: planning intelligence, SLR responses, and collaboration. We learned that the mandate spurred SLR planning, but that local SL…
Florida neighborhood analysis of social determinants and their relationship to life expectancy
Results from the SDEM demonstrate social vulnerability indicators account for additional geographic LE variability beyond commonly studied SDOH. Empirical findings from this analysis can help local health departments identify drivers of spatial health disparities at the local level
Gown Goes to Town
University–community partnerships have long sought to develop interventions to empower historically marginalized community members. However, there is limited critical attention to tensions faced when community engaged courses support urban planning initiatives in communities of color. This article explores how three Florida State University planning classes sought to engage the predominantly African-American Griffin Heights community in Tallahass…
