TEACHING ASSIGNMENTS

Over the years my primary teaching responsibilitiesfor the Department of Urban and Regional Planning includedeveloping and teaching: one graduate level quantitative methods course, one environmental planning studio, one advanced spatial statistics course, one land use modeling and analysis course, an introductory GIS course, and an advanced GIS course. Normally I teach a full load of 2 courses a semester (4 per academic year), participate in my department with an active research agenda (funded as well as non-funded), and have three administrative assignments.

Other responsibilities include: the direction and participation on thesis and doctoral dissertation committees (217graduate doctoral and master committees), the development and instruction of one real estate GIS course, and a joint appointment in the School of Natural Resources in the College of Agricultural and Life Sciences. I am also a member of the graduate and doctoral faculty in the School of Natural Resources.

PROFESSIONAL AND ACADEMIC AREA OF SPECIALIZATION

My research emphasis has been directed at the design, development, and analysis of computer applications in land use analysis, urban and environmental planning. I am interested in the integration of innovative technologies with land-use planning and environmental analysis. More specifically, my research efforts have been directed at the analysis and design of dynamic models and the use of spatial analysis systems, commonly referred to as geographic information systems.

I have been the principal or co-principal investigator for the development of a geographic information system and database for the Florida Department of Transportation and for the Florida Department of Environmental Protection. That database called “The Florida Geographic Data Library” is a data library for the dissemination of GIS data to federal and state agencies and to the citizens of Florida, including secondary schools, libraries, planning organizations, private corporations and businesses, and individual citizens. I have also completed a five-year project, as co-principal investigator, with a team of multidisciplinary researchers to identify and locate statewide greenway corridors and recreational trails. With greenways my work has continued as a co-principal investigator on a grant for the U.S. Department of Environmental Protection that locates greenway opportunities in the Southeastern United States.

My latest and perhaps most exciting research effort, trying to understand the use of spatial conflict for land-use analysis, resulted in the development of “LUCIS” or more formally, the Land-Use Conflict Identification Strategy. The utilization of LUCIS has produced significant results while assisting planning organizations, students, and citizens of Florida as they attempt to make critical future land use decisions. The LUCIS team has been instrumental in assisting numerous Florida communities, in every region of Florida, to actively engage in land use visioning exercises. The result, we believe, is a more comprehensive community visioning tool and consequently better informed community planning. Our efforts have resulted in three APA national awards, a State of Florida award, and a book “Smart Land-Use Analysis: the LUCIS Model”.
