摘要
This thesis explores the siting process and locations of safe havens, a form of low-demand, transitional housing for single, homeless adults. Focusing on New York City as a case study, it includes both a GIS spatial analysis and interviews with key informants from non-profit service providers of safe havens in New York City. The spatial analysis gives context to where safe havens are located in relation to income, race and ethnicity, public transportation and other homeless shelters and medical facilities. Interviews with program directors and business operations staff at a selection of these safe havens reveal information about the siting process as well as the implications of the chosen locations. The thesis illustrates that safe havens are typically located near public transportation and hospitals and are in low-income Community Districts and communities of color. Commonalities in terms of the siting decision-making process include pre-existing buildings uses, relationships with property owners and proximity to hospitals and transit. Conflicts over the siting of the safe havens and community opposition were typically contingent upon pre-existing building uses, time frame of development and concentration of homeless facilities in the Community District. 本文探讨了救助站的选址过程和地点,救助站是一种低需求的,传统上为单身人士、无家可归人士提供的栖身场所。本文以纽约市作为案例研究的对象,此项研究包含了GIS空间分析和对纽约市非营利服务提供方进行的采访。空间分析提供了救助站所在位置的背景情况,研究涉及到收入、种族和民族、公共交通和其他流浪人士收容所和医疗设施。我们对救助站的项目主管和业务运营人员进行的访谈揭示了选址的过程,以及所选的含义。本文表明,救助站通常位于公共交通和医院附近的低收入社区和有色人种社区。选址决策过程的共性包括已有建筑物的使用、与业主的关系,以及邻近医院和交通设施。救助站的选址和社区的反对所引起的冲突通常因已有建筑物的使用情况、社区的开发时间框架和流浪人员的集中程度而呈现出不同的情况。
