COMMUNITY AND REGIONAL PLANNING
Associate Professor Yunwoo Nam has been working on GIS and social media research with scholars of tourism and journalism, and recently published journal article “The traces of ecotourism in a digital world: spatial and trend analysis of geotagged photographs on social media and Google search data for sustainable development” in the Journal of Hospitality and Tourism Technology with co-authors Hanyoung Go and Myunghwa Kang. This research tracks how ecotourism has been presented in a digital world over time using geotagged photos and Google trends search data. It evaluated perceptions of ecotourism and examined the relations of ecotourism and sustainable development. More-
LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE
Greetings from the University of Nebraska’s Student Chapter of the American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA).

We hope everyone is doing the best that they can be during this difficult time. ASLA kicked off the year with a socially distanced welcome picnic on the lawn outside of Architecture Hall, where we all got to introduce each other and help welcome underclassmen into ASLA! We hope to see more faces during upcoming meetings as well! More -
ARCHITECTURE
This week I am excited to highlight the M. Arch Design Thesis students. M. Arch students, in their final year of the two-year and three-year curriculum paths, have the option of pursuing a year-long independent thesis project or continue with graduate option studios. Students develop a thesis project in conjunction with a faculty mentor who mentors them throughout the entire year. Sarah Deyong teaches the thesis prep. seminar course in the spring semester. She states, "the final thesis is a great opportunity for students to pursue an investigation that could become the seed of a life-long interest." The thesis prep. course is a required 2-credit course for any student wishing to pursue the independent thesis option. This year we have several thought-provoking projects. What does a thesis investigation in architecture look like? Below are a few examples of the range of thesis projects developed by our M. Arch students. Enjoy reading and have a great week! -David.
