Many of these homes are of poor struc- <br />tural quality, or have not been wen maintained. <br />Often the current residents can't afford to move <br />elsewhere. In recent years, wealthier families <br />looking for waterfront property have <br />"gentrified" these areas. They can afford to <br />move, but don't want to. Demographic analy- <br />sis-and local experience-will help detennine <br />which group-or mixture of groups-the <br />community is dealing with. <br /> <br />Some communities with abundant water <br />resources are increasingly popular vacation <br />destinations. Current and planned waterfront <br />development in these areas can complicate <br />mitigation planning as property values sky- <br />rocket and resistance to converting these areas <br />to "open space" uses increases. Population <br />trends can help predict user conflicts during the <br />mitigation planning process. <br /> <br />Comprehensive demographic analysis done <br />during this process will also be useful for other <br />planning and development projects. Data is <br />available from the U.S. Census Bureau, the <br />State Demographic Services Center, the <br />University of Wisconsin's Applied Population <br />Laboratory, and other agencies and consult;mts. <br /> <br />6 Other Items <br /> <br />Assembling infonnation on displaced residents, <br />government and institutional buildings shut <br />down, and extra protective services and <br />emergency government costs will also aid your <br />planning efforts. <br /> <br />"Which geographic <br />areas should we include <br />in our plan?" <br /> <br />We recommend that you choose areas to <br />analyze based on goals fonnulated through a <br />community-wide participation and asses,ment. <br />Since rivers meander through many jurisdic. <br />lianal boundaries, it makes sense to team up <br />with neighboring communities on projects that <br />have basin-wide benefits. A hydrologic study of <br />region-wide flooding factors or a watershed <br />study of wetlands, critical habitat areas and <br />environmental corridors are examples. <br /> <br />Similarly, a regional analysis done in <br />cooperation with the Regional Planning <br />Commission might be valuable for addressing <br />economic and social issues common to the <br />surrounding areas, e.g. a review of regional <br /> <br /> <br />-- <br /> <br />-=-~ <br />~- <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Source: Rivenvork Book (1988).
