Studying the application of learning and growth metrics in healthcare using analytic hierarchy process

Creator:: Emami, Samin
Abstract:: Performance measurement is a process that begins with a decision on what to measure followed by identifying proper metrics and data sources. While there is substantial literature devoted to measuring the performance of hospitals and clinics in terms of indicators such as health outcomes and finances, it is vital for...

The application of geographic information systems for delineation and classification of tidal wetlands for resource management of Oregon’s coastal watersheds

Creator:: Scranton, Russell W.
Abstract:: Resource managers of Oregon’s tidal wetlands require an improved GIS layer for management of existing tidal wetland habitat and areas considered for tidal wetland restoration. A reconnaissance project was initiated, such that interpretations of remote sensing data, the National Wetland Inventory, Oregon Estuary Plan Book and additional management tools were...

Practitioner’s hands and academic eyes : a practical approach to improving disaster preparedness and response

Creator:: Thompson, Wiley C.
Abstract:: This dissertation primarily uses observations made during the 2005 Kashmir earthquake relief effort and available disaster literature to address problems that impede effective and efficient disaster preparedness and response. Three manuscripts form the body of the dissertation. The manuscripts are thematically linked through the Emergency Management Cycle. Each manuscript examines...

Geographic information system implementation for coastal management on small islands - with a case study on Saipan, commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands

Creator:: Schonder, Charles
Abstract:: From mid-June to early October of 1997, the author worked in the Coastal Resources Management Division (CRMD) on the island of Saipan, in the western tropical Pacific (Figure 1). The University of Oregon Micronesia and South Pacific Program and the government of the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI)...

Capturing local knowledge for cooperative fisheries management using a participatory geographic information system (GIS) approach in Port Orford, Oregon

Creator:: Wedell, Victoria A.
Abstract:: This study demonstrates the utility of combining available scientific data with local ecological knowledge in a Geographic Information System (GIS) to support community-based fisheries management. The approach used provides both the framework for capturing important ecological, economic and social information relevant to marine fisheries management, and also offers coastal citizens...

GIS training materials for coastal managers : An internship at the NOAA Coastal Services Center: 2003

Creator:: Pattison, Danielle B.
Abstract:: One of the crucial components of marine and coastal resource management is using the best available data for decision-making. There are many facets however, to what makes data available and useable. Even though data may exist for many natural resource and marine resource issues, they don't always come in accessible...

Technology and meaning in natural resource management : the story-making role of GIS in the CLAMS project

Creator:: Duncan, Sally
Abstract:: The working hypothesis for this study is that the introduction of GIS technology into the ancient procedures of map-making has changed the map-making context sufficiently to require a revision of the way we think about, learn from, and use maps, specifically in the public involvement process in natural resource management....

Spatio-temporal pattern analysis of managed forest landscapes : a simulation approach

Creator:: Li, Habin
Abstract:: This study dealt with research problems at the landscape level. The objectives of this thesis were to develop tools to study and characterize landscapes and to interface with a geographic information system (GIS), to evaluate landscape indices, and to examine development of forest cutting patterns under different cutting methods and...

The capability of a GIS to contribute to the social assessment of forest communities : a case study of the Central Cascades Adaptive Management Area

Creator:: Burke, Tenley Boehm
Abstract:: Geographic Information Systems (GIS) have become an essential tool for evaluation and monitoring the biophysical data of natural landscapes. This study addresses the potential for using GIS in the social assessment of human landscapes that are associated with geographic regions of interest. Using the communities surrounding Oregon's federally designated Central...
