All Saints Neighborhood Center
Housing and Environmental Survey
| The purpose of the project was to provide a current snapshot of housing and environmental conditions in the Springwells Village neighborhood in southwest Detroit. The All Saints Neighborhood Center offers families in this neighborhood an array of adult and youth programs. WSU's Urban Safety program worked with the All Saints' Teen Club to conduct a neighborhood survey using portable computing devices, GIS software and GPS receivers. Data were mapped to specific properties using a property ownership database from the City of Detroit. A series of maps was produced to illustrate the presence of dangerous properties, abandoned vehicles, and illegal dumping in these neighborhoods. The focus of the data collection, mapping and analysis work was to identify “place-specific,” public safety problems that detract from residents’ quality of life. These include: dangerous properties, abandoned vehicles, and illegal dumping locations, among others. The area will be resurveyed during the fall 2004. |  |
