Abstract

This paper examines factors affecting people's attitudes toward living in a compact and mixed-use environment. It reports a case study of a new compact and mixed-use project in Eugene, Oregon. Based on a survey of and interviews with residents living in close proximity to this project, and interviews with local planners and developers, this research shows that people's attitudes toward compact living are associated with their awareness of the environmental and social consequences related to different land-use patterns and their residential preference for and perceptions of environmental qualities of compact neighborhoods, as well as their impression of the new project nearby.
