Von Allen, Fritzic
For many years, the need for emergency housing has been a critical problem within the Fresno Metropolitan Area. By definition, emergency housing can be interpreted as being the providing of temporary shelter and services to an individual or individuals rendered homeless due to circumstances or situations beyond their control. Those most affected by this need are the poor and low-income groups, with these groups largely being people of minority backgrounds. In recent years, the need for emergency housing has become most critical due to numerous developments and occurrences within the "Greater Metropolitan Area. " These are as follows: 1. The exodus of farm workers into the Fresno Metropolitan area caused by the increase of farm mechanization and decreasing need for farm laborers. 2. The decrease in low-income housing developments. 3. The development and increase in urban renewal type programs and projects. 4. The rising unemployment rate within the area. The above instances are of major importance because they are contributing factors of homelessness.

Poster, Bruce A.
In this project, we shall attempt to define the regional sphere of influence of the Fresno, California, Metropolitan Area. The emphasis will be not only on delineating the region, but also on showing that such an exercise has relevance for urban planners and policy makers. Many difficulties are inherent in this project. The concept of "regional sphere of influence" is a nebulous one, thus making the attempt to bound such a region extremely difficult and verging on the arbitrary. Lack of reliable, compatible, and complete data is another major obstacle. The sheer bulk and sometimes contradictory nature of data has been perplexing. The greatest difficulty has been in developing the actual methods of analysis within these limitations and within reasonable time constraints.

Pirofalo, Leon C.
The dual purposes of this study are 1) to demonstrate that the two fields, planning and education, have much to be learned from one another; and 2) to propose a systematic approach, using both sound planning principles and accepted educational theories, that can be used by educators in school and by planners elsewhere to help teach planning and related areas of social studies more effectively.

Okin, Isaac Abodunrin
The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between urbanization and industrialization in the development of metropolitan Lagos. It is apparent that early stages of industrialization in Lagos, as well as in other newly developing countries, are characterized by focus on manufacturing of consumer goods, involving mostly light industrial operations. Later stages involving heavier industry are more directly related location-wise to the existence of raw materials and sources of power. This study will attempt to show that there is a significant relationship between the above two variables. The question of which (urbanization or industrialization) should be considered a cause and which is an effect will be discussed. It is evident from earlier studies by the writer that metropolitan Lagos did not develop as a result of industrialization; other factors contributed to its development. Some of the additional factors contributing to the process of urbanization in Lagos were related to demographic data that were selected on the criteria of giving a more complete picture of study, a more comprehensive understanding of them, and a tentative identification of variables that might point out areas for further research. The demographic data which this study will discuss are as follows : (1) rural-urban migration; (2) natural increase (the excess of births over deaths); and (3) political, economic, educational, and geographical factors.
