Why this is interesting to me  My dads a jogger  My mom is disabled (wheel chair)  I personally like walking around my town/city.  Curiosity

Public spaces?  A public space is a social space that is generally open and accessible to people.  Completed Roads  Parks, Wetlands  Sidewalks, Bike lanes, Cross walks  Recreational Centers  Preserved public spaces

Benefits  Having sidewalks, crosswalks, and bike lanes will promote more members in the community to be active and will provide more safety for the communities' citizens.  Community spirit will increase(parades, and more community participation.)  Appeal to possibly future citizens

Statistics  Personal-42% Social 38%; Family activity 12%, Environmental 6%, Economic 2% (Pennsylvania State University Survey)  Reduction in fatalities such as pedestrians range 44,000 since 1975 to 37,000 in 2008

Obstacles for research  Finding the statics I needed for what I wanted (updated)  making it focus on multiple sub topics (basically explaining open spaces fully)

Success  Made a great basis for a product  Explained open spaces  Also gave ideas as to what the community could do for economically increase with natural resources

Link to product  Both of them dealt with community  Has pedestrians involved.  For my product I did a survey to ask citizens about what they felt about their community and based it off my research.  Both involved some participation from community leaders.

Product  Survey Says

Things I learned about myself  I have a problem with delaying and put off things  I also learned that its much easier to talk to people of your age or people you can somehow relate with.  I learned if you don’t dress professional people tend to take you less seriously.  As a leader you have to know what your people are thinking  You cant please everybody

Career/college  I probably wont do anything like community serves again when comes to what want to do  This project did help understand people better.  I also learned that you have approach each individual in a different way professional.

Was it worthwhile  Yes, dealing with something and discovering something I had no idea about was truly a great experience

Thank you for your time  Do you have any questions?
