maps were mostly taken from people around Munjoy Hill. It was therefore unsurprising that the mental maps I collected focused on East Bayside and Old Port. One person even mentioned that she was only drawing \u201cher part of Portland.\u201d The West End was not labeled on any of the maps and the maps had very few landmarks from the West End area labeled. It seemed that most of the landmarks were nondescript shops and locations and there was not too much overlap between landmarks. The younger generation seemed to label more places and seemed more aware of the entirety of Portland.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Having talked with a few residents, I still think that Portland needs to prioritize working on its public transportation system. Many residents at least mentioned that it was difficult to commute around the city and that even with a car it is difficult to find parking. Although I was hesitant about increasing bike accessibility or a bike share system given the long winter in Portland, residents seemed to want more bike lanes and for Portland to be a more bike-friendly city. Therefore, I think bicycle lanes and bicycle racks would be a good way to encourage more bicycles in the city, especially for the younger age group that seems to be moving into the city. Additionally, the public bus system should be updated and integrated into the city so that the residents and commuters find it to be a more accessible and reliable form of transportation.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Saturday, October 4, 2014 Dreary day, misting\/light dribble, temperature, 58 degrees Crema Caf\u00e9\/Arabica 2:30pm to 5 &nbsp; 2:30 About forty-five people, half by themselves (working, reading), half with people (groups of 2-4) Roughly an even split of genders Activities seen: date, date, reading comics, on laptop, reading, reading, discussion\/ hangout, on laptop, on laptop, date, &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/courses.bowdoin.edu\/digital-computational-studies-2430-fall-2014\/uncategorized\/crema-cafe-ethnography-and-mental-maps\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Crema Cafe Ethnography and Mental Maps<\/span> <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":159,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[21,1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1222","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-post-6-individual-analysis-of-ethnography-mental-maps","category-uncategorized"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p50q0U-jI","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/courses.bowdoin.edu\/digital-computational-studies-2430-fall-2014\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1222","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/courses.bowdoin.edu\/digital-computational-studies-2430-fall-2014\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/courses.bowdoin.edu\/digital-computational-studies-2430-fall-2014\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/courses.bowdoin.edu\/digital-computational-studies-2430-fall-2014\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/159"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/courses.bowdoin.edu\/digital-computational-studies-2430-fall-2014\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1222"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/courses.bowdoin.edu\/digital-computational-studies-2430-fall-2014\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1222\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/courses.bowdoin.edu\/digital-computational-studies-2430-fall-2014\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1222"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/courses.bowdoin.edu\/digital-computational-studies-2430-fall-2014\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1222"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/courses.bowdoin.edu\/digital-computational-studies-2430-fall-2014\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1222"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
