Abstract Details

2014, Master of Arts, University of Toledo, Geography.
For over 100 years neighborhood-based initiatives have been enacted as a means to alleviate conditions associated with spatially concentrated poverty. And yet, these sociospatial strategies have shown limited success. The scope of this research attends to the range of initiatives encompassing schools and neighborhood centers and correlations to the contemporary community school reform movement. This point of reference is utilized to weigh the means to which community schools may stimulate broader neighborhood-based improvements. School-centered community revitalization rests upon a participatory development approach funded by an asset-based and capacity building framework for community development that utilizes resident-led initiatives and decision making that is context-based and affected from within. This research travels the recent academic reform of an inner-city public school in Toledo, Ohio. This course of inquiry draws from current literature and case study findings as a means of charting corridors to advance neighborhood-based revitalization efforts. This research also furthers the understanding of the broader issue of neighborhood-based initiatives.
