Presents results of a 2010 survey aimed at understanding water resource and land use planning. First it explores how professional views about water resource stressors and management strategies converge and diverge among water resource managers and land use planners. Second, it examines the degree to which water managers and land planners are engaging in integrated planning.
Provides the data and analysis necessary for the County's Environmental Impact Statement as it relates to the potential impact that issuing a permit could have on low income or minority people in Pima County. The study goes beyond this narrow assessment too, and discusses the cultural, social and fiscal issues related to the larger topic of environmental justice.
The basic questions addressed in the environmental justice study are whether low income and/or minority neighborhoods are or have been disproportionately affected by the impacts of pollutants in air or water; by land use decisions; financially by environmentally-related governmental decisions.
Provides a thoughtful and timely assessment of how Pima County's practices and policy proposals in land use stand up under the test of nationally recognized principles of smart growth.
