The primary case study location of Kakaʻako, Hawaiʻi is considered within a range of public space creative expression possibilities presented by three additional study locations along the US-Mexico border. Phenomenological and historical investigation reveal institutional relationships that enable and constrain creative expression in public space. The findings suggest the potential for investigating urban visual landscapes to illuminate forces of power and exclusion in other aspects of the urban experience, such as development and gentrification. Incorporating creatives and creativity in planning practice can foster asset-based framing and co-design processes firmly rooted in local context. The reestablishment of indigenous autonomy, authority, and self-determination in urban public space and the visual landscape may begin to address historical forces of oppression, displacement, and exclusion. The potential for creativity and creative expression for informing planning practice and participatory processes is explored with the goal of vibrant, thriving, and inclusive public spaces that embody the broadest range of human differences and capabilities.Item The Development of an Asset-Based Framework for Resilience Hub Planning in Oʻahu, Hawaiʻi(University of Hawaii at Manoa, 2022) Tran, Cuong; Shen, Suwan; Urban and Regional PlanningIn Hawaiʻi, as climate change intensifies and induces more disasters, a greater demand for understanding and strengthening community resilience is necessary. In recent years, resilience hubs have been introduced across the United States to support community resilience efforts against climate change. The Asset-Based Community Development approach was utilized to compare the role of different community assets, i.e., physical, human, and social assets, in promoting community resilience and resilience hub development between urban and rural communities. Four community resilience elements were used for analysis: Community Networks and Relationships, Teamwork and Leadership, Information and Communications, and Training and Education. Different site factors for resilience hub development between urban and rural communities were also analyzed. Two-way analysis of variance tests and post hoc Tukey HSD tests were performed to compare the quantitative and qualitative data from roughly 300 online survey responses between two study areas, the Primary Urban Center and Koʻolauloa, in Oʻahu, Hawaiʻi. Overall, rural residents ranked their physical, human, and social assets significantly higher than urban residents in promoting community resilience. Resilience hub development between urban and rural residents can differ based on the availability, weight, and utilization of community assets. Lastly, urban and rural residents shared similar perspectives on resilience hub site selection for several factors: trust and acceptance, ease of access, programmatic offerings, service to groups, and community-based facility preferences. However, urban residents emphasized more on transportation accessibility compared to rural residents.Item Learning To See Through The Spectrum Of Theory—It Takes Practice: Casting A Phenomenological Gaze Into The Becoming Of Professional Planners In America(University of Hawaii at Manoa, 2022) Allen, Scott "Cloudwatcher"; Das, Priyam; Urban and Regional PlanningProfessional identity is made up of the beliefs associated with a given field and is formed through a process known as professional socialization (Cruess et al., 2015). When successful, this process results not only in providing a clear image of what the professional role requires, but also in equipping the practitioner to effectively carry out the duties associated with the profession (Ibarra, 1999). Diverse planning theories developed over the past several decades are thought to help planners imagine themselves in their professional role and guide their actions in practice, but little is known about the beliefs of practicing planners or how they relate to planning theory. Going further, little is known about what shapes these beliefs in the first place. The purpose of this mixed-methods post-intentional phenomenological study was to describe the beliefs of planners at different stages of their career while illuminating the experiences that have shaped them into who they are as a professional. Carried out in two phases, study findings from Phase I include quantified beliefs of the planner’s role, approach, and philosophies as they relate to planning theory. Phase II findings included the illumination of the production of becoming a planner. This production was analyzed using Elder Vass’s (2010, 2012) critical realist theory of emergence, uncovering two provocations which provoke the production of becoming a planner: micro-interactions and macro-interactions. Together, these provocations gaze into the planner’s experience becoming socialized into the profession while providing insights which should be of interest to planning students, educators, administrators, and practitioners alike.Item Tourism employment and residents' attitudes in Rarotonga, Cook Islands(University of Hawaii at Manoa, 1982) Pryor, Pamela Takiora Ingram.; Urban and Regional PlanningTo what extent should the Cook Islands encourage tourism as a means to economic development?

This study evaluates the performance of the program, with the hypo thesis that it
