Introduction vocabulary Students can be encouraged to use other sources, such as dictionaries, thesaurus and glossaries, to develop and expand their understandings of these key concepts and terms. Students who require additional support with vocabulary can be asked to create a word wall or use vocabulary booklets to track concepts and terms, put them into their own words and illustrate them. Important concepts and vocabulary terms are highlighted in bold throughout the teacher notes and in student resources. These concepts and terms are defined in context and may be repeated in different sections of the resource. They are listed below in alphabetical order. Attributes are like characteristics. Apiarists are beekeepers. Authority means having the power to do or enforce something. The broken windows theory helps local governments, including the City of Edmonton, make decisions about bylaws and programs related to the appearance, cleanliness and safety of property. Bylaws are guidelines and rules that help people live together peacefully in diverse neighbourhoods of a city. A campaign is a project or program that works to meet a goal. A citizenship footprint is affected by the time and contributions a person makes to the community. A bigger footprint is better! Studies have found that people who live near common, or public, green spaces have more contact with their neighbours. Common good refers to conditions and actions that provide a good quality of life for the majority of people living in a community. The concept of community has a broader meaning and can encompass both geographic areas as well as social, cultural or religious affinities, teams and groups that share language, interests and activities. Community diversity can refer to communities with individuals who have a variety of languages, interests, nationalities, backgrounds and ways of life. Community health is a factor that can make a community a “good” place to live. Community health can be influenced by different conditions, including those that go beyond clean air and environmental health. Community health is often associated with quality of life. Community-based health provides a perspective on community living that focuses on how all elements and factors of the community can contribute to the health, safety and well being of its residents. Community standards are guidelines, rules and policies that establish standards of behaviour, actions and conduct that people follow so that everyone can live together peacefully in a community. 10 Make A Better City
Make A Better City Consensus decision-making encourages everyone to voice their opinion and work together to make a decision. A program called “Crime Prevention through Environmental Design” helps people plan where and how buildings, fences, lighting and green areas are built. Criteria are standards, measures of comparison or expectations used to evaluate decisions or actions. Derelict properties are neglected properties. An ecological footprint is the amount of space that it would take to support the resource needs and waste from one person. The size of our ecological footprint is affected by the amount of energy we use. The more energy, the bigger the footprint. An editorial is an article that presents opinions on an issue. It is important that all bylaws, no matter what their purpose, are enforceable – in other words, people must be able to follow them. Euthanasia of companion animals is a necessary and humane means to end the lives of animals that are in severe physical distress or have severe behavioural problems that pose a threat to humans or other animals. If an animal at the Animal Care & Control Centre is not safe for the community, then there may be no other choice but to euthanize, or painlessly and humanely put down, the animal. Facilities are places that provide services. Feral cats are wild cats. Graffiti vandalism includes any words, notes, symbols, slogans or drawings placed on a wall or other public or private surface that does not follow the “community standards” set by the City. To become habituated means getting used to living in a specific location. The human environment refers to things that are made by and for people. Hydrology refers to the movement, location and quality of water. Impair can mean reduce. Improved trails have a width of at least 1.5 meters and an improved surface such as pavement, granular material or mulch, or a maintained grass surface. Infill development refers to building on vacant, existing lots in older areas. Infrastructure refers to the basic features of a neighbourhood, and includes features such as roads, lights, boulevards and sidewalks. Make A Better City 11
