Title	Greenway Systems in Salt Lake City and Tallahassee A Comparitive Analysis

Description/Abstract	Landscape ecology is the study of the relationship between spatial pattern and ecological processes on a range of landscape scales. One aspect of land¬scape ecology that we chose to study was green¬ways. Greenways are long, narrow corridors that differ from the surrounding landscape types; they are used for recreation, and for pedestrian and bi¬cycle traffic. We compared the greenways in Salt Lake City and Tallahassee (Figures 3 and 4), using landscape metrics (methods of quantifying land¬scape pattern) as tools to define characteristics of the greenway systems. To determine which city had a stronger greenway system, we based our conclusions on three comparative metrics: percent green space, connectivity, and contagion. We ex¬pected the Tallahassee greenway to be superior to that of Salt Lake City’s because of its warm, hu¬mid climate and the city’s well-established plan for greenway expansion.
