1.2 NATURAL DISASTERS EARTHQUAKE + LIQUEFACTION Above the San Andreas Fault, the Coachella Valley therefore be able to utilize the geothermal water and energy. However, the fault is one of California’s most dangerous. For Southern California, the last big earthquake to strike was in 1857, when a magnitude 7.9 earthquake broke out 185 miles between Monterey County and the San Gabriel Mountains near Los Angeles.

There are many concerns from experts of the activity prediction of San Andreas Fault. The biggist one is that the Fault is too quiet for a Century. Scientists have observed that based on the movement of tectonic plates,

“earthquakes should be relieving about 16 feet of accumulated plate movement every 100 years. Yet the San Andreas has not relieved stress that has been building up for more than a century.”

Faults

The landslide will also be triggered by the Earthquake.

After the 1986 North Palm Springs earthquake, numerous landslides Consisting primarily of debris slides and rock falls were reported. Moreover, the liquefaction in this area can magnify the impact of the earthquake waves, cause the Valley suffered more from the damage.

Fault_zones Liquefaction

The recent sensible earthquake events are as follows: In June 1992 Landers-Big Bear quakes struck the Coachella Valley. The 1994 Northridge earthquake was felt in Palm Springs. The earthquake centered in Borrego on July 7, 2010 the Valley felt the shock waves but the sustained no damage.

The San Andreas Fault zones layered with the liquefaction in Coachella Valley Area.

The overlapped zones shows the severe earthquake event may strike very closely to the development area in the Valley.

1.2 NATURAL DISASTERS FLOOD + TOPOGRAPHY The flood occurs in Coachella Valley is mainly causing by the sudden storm happened in the mountain area.

Due to the desert dry soil condition and barren surface of the hills, water would congregate and flush quickly into the Valley. The desert Coachella Valley soil also cannot absorb water efficiently.

100 Years Flood Zone 1% Possibility per year

The history of flood in this area sometimes caused the City isolated from the outside world. There are some past events can demonstrate how the flood can impact the Coachella Valley:

500 Years Flood Zone 0.2% Possibility per year Rivers PS_boundary WCV_boundary

The major flooding occurred in Palm Springs in 1938, when the Whitewater River flooded the Coachella Valley. Overflow from the Tachevah Creek caused major flooding in Downtown Palm Springs and people in the City were isolated for nearly a week. Similarly, in the winter of 1965, the Cottonwood Creek overflowed Inter-state 10 east of Highway 111, blocking traffic and isolating the City of Palm Springs.

The possible Flood zone can be found overlapped with parts of the development area. Especially the WestSouth that at the foot of the mountain.

The mapping shows the relationship between Flood zones, river systems, and topography.

Therefore, a flood event’s cause and result can be easy to recognize.

1.2 NATURAL DISASTERS WILDFIRE + SEVERE WIND Hot, windy, and dry conditions caused by California’s severe droughts have created an environmental condition that people can easily set ablaze. Within the first eight months of 2015 alone, Cal Fire(The California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection) had already responded to nearly 5,000 wildfires over 150,000 acres.

“Humans Cause Over 95 Percent of California Wildfires” - National Geography.

2017, one of the largest wildfires tearing through southern California was caused by a downed power line. Illegal campfires can start blazes too. There was one that began in 2009 and grew to destroy more than 2,700 acres.

The natural occurrences such as lightning strikes can also spark fires. Yet, it is only approximately 5 percent of wildfires in California that were caused by natural phenomenon.

Through the mapping of the average wind rate and highrisk wildfire zone, we can see the fire is more likely to be ignited in the mountain area. Yet, some of them are overlapped with roads, parks, and houses. The triple match of human, wind, and dry condition may create the wildfire high-risk zone in these areas.

T-Mobile cellular tower

When a disaster occur, the victims don’t just dial 911 call centers for seeking help. They also use the social media sites like Twitter and Facebook to ask for assistance, update their location and condition with family and friends.

Therefore, the cellular tower would be the essential infrastructure to cope with emergency events.

The signal coverage recorded through the human activities in Coachella Valley area also shows where people can stay connect with the world of internet.

Mapping of the signal tower and coverage.

1.3 INFORMATION & COMMUNICATION CURRENT APPLICATION For now, Coachella Valley is using an eariy earthquake warning system called Quake Guard system. The whole system is built on the local fire stations, using local infrastructure as the network to send alarms to local schools and hospitals.

0 0.5 1

The system detects P wave and S wave, and use the time difference for arriving to get a few seconds notice before the real destructive wave comes. The warning time is about 1 second for every 5 miles of distance from the earthquake’s hypocenter.

R A much more connected communication system and a broad IoT system would bring everything together to share the information and real-time data.

In terms of early warnig system of natural disasters, the few secons could help avoid huge losses. If hospitals and schools could be added to the whole warning system, then hospitals could start the back-up electric generator in advance to keep the surgery going, children coul take cover and calm down.

More importantly, fire stations wouldn’t have jagged garage doors which stops fire engines from geting out and save people’s lives. Water and gas valves could be shut off in case of explosion when there is an earthquake.

Even though the few seconds doesn’t seem a long period, it is crucial for the whole society. in the future, personal business could be added to the IoT system and people’s homes could also be included, which together build up a real connected society.

/ Part 3: Which neighborhoods are more friendly to homeless people?

Here used Twitter API to scrape people’s tweets about homeless people and used sentimental analysis to calculate percentage of friendly people in each neighborhood.

USING MULTIPLE OVERLAPPING CIRCLES TO COVER SAN FRANCISCO Each square is 1 mile by 1 mile. Get the coordinates of each circle’s center.

1666

PUBLIC AWARENESS OF HOMELESSNESS The amount of tweets reflects different levels of public awareness to the homeless issue. However, the total amount of tweets collected through these smaller circles is far less than the amount collected by using the whole SF range.

PUBLIC AWARENESS COMPARED WITH HOMELESS DENSITY There is more public awareness where people are more exposed to the problem.

PUBLIC OPINION TOWARDS HOMELESSNESS Run each tweet through the sentiment analysis and get the percentage of ‘positive’, ‘neutral’, and ‘negative’ tweets in total tweets.

‘FRIENDLY AREAS’ In the areas where public are more aware of the issue, SOMA and South Beach are the relatively friendly areas with positive attitude. Tenderloin and Lower Heights have about 10% percent less positive people. It’s also worth to mention that SOMA has the highest percentage of negative tweets.

CONCLUSION OF THE HOMELESS RESEARCH

PART 1 | WHERE DO THE HOMELESS ENCAMP? Tenderloin, south of SOMA, Civic Center, Nob Hill are the neighborhoods with the most encampment.

PART 2 | HOW GOOD IS EACH AREA IN TERMS OF EASY ACCESS TO RELIABLE LIVING RESOURCE FOR THE HOMELESS? Outer Richmond, Outer Sunset, Cow Hollow, Balboa Park, and Outer Mission need urgent input on resources. South Beach and Mission District should be the second tiers of neighborhoods to allocate more resources.

PART 3 | WHERE SHOULD FUTURE MARKETING BE DIRECTED TO? South Beach is the most friendly area in SF to homeless people and the public are very well aware of the issue.

Where the homeless density is high, generally there is better public awareness towards a certain issue. Areas which get enough exposure to the problem but not right in the center of the problem seems to have the most friendly people and is mostly likely to be the place for raising donations and getting help.

Does Urban Design Even Matter?T Type: resesarch design, collaboration work Site: Boston Tutor: Prof. Sarah E.Williams, MIT DUSP Collaborator: Joshua Brooks, Gonzalo Ortega Duration: 2017.10-2017.12 [ Main Concept] What is the relationship between various spatial patterns in the urban fabric of Boston and the prevalence of pedestrian and bicycle accidents? Can Bostonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s diverse spatial make up give insight in to what types of urban form most often house active transportation accidents? Can this information be used to evaluate new development and design proposals?

This research project is aimed at identifying what spatial patterns in the physical environment have higher rates of active transportation accidents. Using ten spatial patterns that vary across the landscape of Boston this project will work to identify and prioritize what types of improvements should be made and where those improvements should happen.

III. Does Urban Design Even Matter?

11.520 Geographic Information Workshop /October - December 2017, Cambridge/

[Significance] In an effort to make urban areas more livable and attractive to a diverse set of users many communities are focused on increasing pedestrian and bicycle safety. How should we go about doing this and how can we ensure that the continued growth of urban areas do not repeat mistakes of the past. The objective of this project is to identify individual patterns and groups of patterns that have the highest or lowest probability of active transportation accidents. Because Bostonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s built environment has such diverse representation of individual patterns it offers a very unique place to study this issue.

While this study will most clearly benefit the City of Boston by helping categorize the types of areas that are most prone to pedestrian and bicycle accidents it can also serve as a tool for other municipalities to understand their own urban environments. Additionally, this tool has the potential to serve as an evaluation method for new communities, districts and development areas. This research could lead to significantly lower rates of active transportation accidents, thus making cities and communities safer and more livable.

[Conclusion] Narrower streets that have a smaller foot print for vehicular traffic are safer for pedestrians than wider street.

The wider sidewalks and smaller block sizes significantly decrease the rates of accidents per person.

Higher concentrations of street trees led to fewer pedestrian and bike accidents.

Wider ROW widths do not make safer streets.

Presence of street lights increase pedestrian safety.
