Geography and environmental influences on community

Rendering to the United States Census Bureau, as far as geography of the area goes, it has an entire extent of 1.7 square miles (3.5 km2), and most of that is 1.7 square miles (4.5 km2) of it is a lot of property and land-living however only about 0.03 square miles of the town is really about (0.1 km2) of it (1.70%) is water.

nother interesting aspect of the geographical location is that the Wallkill River runs directly from the north beside the western border of New Paltz, rolling into the Rondout Creek and finally it comes out through the Hudson River.

As mentioned earlier, the town's current mayor is Jason West, who happened to have been re-elected in May 2011 which automatically put him into another four-year term, after not being in office since the year of 2007. The four trustees on the village board are Shari Osborn, Jean Gallucci, Michael Zierler, and Brian Kimbiz. The village upholds its private sewer district and Department of Public Works, but has dependence upon the town administration to deliver police facilities.

Sometime around the year of May 2003, a lot of the students from the university and those from the community members had elected the Revolution Campaign candidates who were Jason West, Julia Walsh andRebecca Rotzler, to the Village of New Paltz administration for a 4-year term to serve. These three campaigners ran on a podium that endorsed environmental sustainability & equality. Under West's authority, the town had become one of the four locations in early 2004 to marry same-sex couples, hurling the town temporarily into the national public eye. Because of that, it was clear that many who had not shared his same belief in the town, made sure that West lost his bid for reelection in May 2007.

The Women in Black have a small but active chapter in New Paltz that has been protesting in front of Elting Memorial Library weekly since November, 2001

Community Assessment of Kent County Health Needs:
Kent County is an area within Michigan State in the United States of America and part of the Grand apids -- Wyoming Metropolitan Statistical Area. In order to identify the County's most pressing priority health needs, this paper focuses on providing a community assessment on the unmet community health needs.

Community Vitality:

The assessment of community health and ensuring the availability of certain services for the residents of this area is a responsibility of the Kent County Health Department, which also ensures the provision of some core programs and planning and executing public education to enforce public health laws ("Health Department," n.d.).

The department also operates five public health clinics in the entire county to provide immunizations and the Women, Infants, and Children program.

It also examines causes of disease, morbidity and mortality, epidemics, and environmental health hazards.

Topic Area 2: Participation in Extracurricular Activities at School

National Data: 70% of students nationally participate in some amount of curricular activity, with almost half of these students (32% of the total population) participating only in an hour or two (per week, it is assumed). A substantial 21% of the total population participates in extracurricular activities six hours or more, with 8% at eleven hours or more of participation. Nearly a third (30%) of all students surveyed, however, do not participate in extracurricular activities at all.

Springfield Middle School Data: At Springfield Middle School, 57% of students participate in extra curricular activities, and of these students half participate in school sports. Band and chorus each involve around 30% each of participating students (29% and 31%, respectively), with 23% of participating students taking part in other clubs.

Interpretation: Again, the different measures make it difficult to compare these two data sets in a meaningful…...

Nine domains can be identified in which the community must function in order to survive. These domains are physical, environmental, economic, human development, political, informational and communicative, spiritual, cultural, and social and emotional. As a crowded city, Chicago is deficient in many environmental and physical requirements. Open space, other than in parks, museums, and college campuses, is hard to come by. Plant and animal life is difficult to be observed aside from the seagulls that often flock throughout the area, pets, and window gardens, though small city gardens for the purpose of fresh, organic food are beginning to become more popular. In addition, the problem of homelessness mentioned earlier means that many cannot meet their physical needs. The city's government runs services, however, do provide transportation, sewage and trash maintenance, and other environmental and physical requirements. The city's ability to accept diversity has enabled it to meet many economic…...

Nursing Community Assessment
It is moral responsibility of the Government and the nursing organizations to maintain the health standard in any country. However, it is not wholly in the hands of these organizations but other departments must also contribute for this cause.

This study is focused on the county of Astoria, Queens, New York for helping the nurses in doing their job in the right way. The study highlights the demographics, major diseases and problems in Astoria. Moreover, the health plan is proposed for dealing with the issues.

History of Astoria:

In past, Astoria was known as Hallet's Cove because of the name of its first landowner William Hallet. He settled in here in 1659 along with his wife. Later in 19th century, New Yorkers named the region as Astoria Village which is now known as Old Astoria. This name was decided after the John Jacob Astor who was the wealthiest person of America…...

There is an ever growing demand for nurses in the Henderson area- an area that is already in short supply. The problems that Henderson is facing are very cyclical in nature. A lack of educational attainment in the area leads to a lack of trained professionals, like nurses. And yet with the high amount of drug usage that is going on in the area this is the one profession that is in great demand.
In order for this problem to be addressed there needs to be a push for an increase in nursing education in the area. Henderson appears to have the educational facilities that are needed to train professionals in the area, but seems to have a hard time getting people into the programs. There needs to be put into place some type of incentive program that will encourage residents in Henderson to go back to school and obtain…...

The data gathered suggest that the town is facing a decline in population. This is mainly the result of the youth leaving school for educational and employment opportunities in urban areas. After leaving high school these youth see no opportunities for building a life in Platoville, and tend to seek better opportunities elsewhere. A plan of action is needed to curb this trend. The first point to address is to create an image of Platoville as a vibrant and exciting place to live, particularly for the young. Community programs should therefore be expanded to include youth programs such as field trips and sports days. In terms of the future, the youth also needs to be aware of the possible business opportunities within Platoville. Entrepreneurial opportunities can also then be created by youth programs and by inviting business owners to speak to the youth, invite them for visits to their…...

The specific strategies that will be used to further ensure this success are both fairly straightforward. Lists of likely and potential donors can be compiled from a variety of sources, including other non-profits that would be sympathetic to the cause, such as the Texas Chapter of the Paralyzed Veterans of America and the Texas National Guard Association. Marketing materials could be developed and printed at relatively minimal cost, and follow up phone calls to non-respondents could also help. Careful, polite, yet eager requests of AM for in-kind donations will likely yield success if applied consistently, and thus both goals could be met through the application of steady and appropriate pressure.

The initial marketing materials will be the biggest initial expense, and unless AM is willing to pick up the bill (and they might be) will represent an up-front risk of at least several hundred if not a thousand dollars. The cost…...

Community AssessmentThere are several ways to obtain data for a community assessment, including surveys, interviews, focus groups, secondary data sources, and windshield assessment (Diana, 2021; Johnson et al., 2020). For example, surveys can be used to gather information on a wide range of topics, including demographics, health status, and access to services. Surveys can be administered in person, by phone, or online (Mueller, 2022). Interviews can be used to gather detailed information on specific topics or to gain a deeper understanding of the experiences and perspectives of community members. Focus groups are a way to gather information from a group of people in a facilitated setting (Krishnaswamy & oss-Viles, 2020). They can be used to explore specific topics or to gain a broader understanding of community perceptions and experiences. And secondary data sources, such as census data or existing reports and studies, can provide valuable information on a community\\\'s demographics,…...

Neighborhood as Community: Scarsdale, New York
With a per capita income of $113,000, a median household income of $230,750, a median sales price of a single-family home of $1.34 million and one of the leading school districts in the state, the Village of Scarsdale is a relatively exclusive suburb of New York City that has a poverty level that even other affluent communities envy. Using an ecosystems perspective, this paper provides a review of the literature as well as online government resources to describe the demographics, available social networks, income and wealth distribution, an assessment of the educational resources, housing, health and welfare issues, as well as formal and informal control systems. An ecosystems perspective merges general systems theory and ecology to provide insights concerning the interactions between individuals and various aspects of their social environment (Tangenberg, 2009) to determine adaptations of the neighborhood over time, the interface of the…...

Community Assessment: Bayville, NJAbstractThis paper provides a windshield survey of Bayville, NJ, and identifies useful statistics and data helpful in understanding the characteristics of the community as they pertain to community health. The community of Bayville is coastal with many opportunities for outdoors recreation in the summer months, from boating to playing in the parks or fields. It has numerous churches for various religious affiliations, which offer organizations and programs for members and non-members alike. The community is below the national average in terms of physicians to residents, but health care access is available in the surrounding greater township. The average worker commutes thirty minutes to work each day, which can add to the strain of labor. Additionally, unemployment in Bayville has risen year over year, and this is not a negligible threat to the mental and physical health of the community, as there is a direct link between the…...

Community participation is a key ingredient of any powerful community. The life blood (citizens) of the community is pumped by the heart, called as participation. Community participation is a requirement as well as a condition. It is a condition for raising resources and achieving more results. It engages the citizens deeply in work of the development of community. Community participation is about performing activities for the benefits of any community. The partners of the community follow certain rules and posses unique elements. They have a goal to achieve. This topic has various aspects; the purpose of writing this case study is to explore the minor and major aspects of community participation among kids and adults, both. This case study begins with the background of use of community participation as a tool, its strengths and weaknesses, the role of government in expanding this tool and the ways of communication used for…...
