Abstract
The terminal project "Designing to Prevent Vandalism in Historic Cemeteries: An Analysis of Change in Two of Eugene, Oregon's Historic Cemeteries Through Design Intervention," is an assessment of design intervention strategies that have been applied to in two local Oregon historic cemeteries in order to reduce vandalism. The field of cemetery conservation utilizes varied design interventions; however, there has been little analysis and measurement of the effectiveness of these strategies from a landscape architecture perspective. 1 Using conceptual frameworks from landscape architecture, psychology and historic preservation, this terminal project contributes to the field of preservation by creating a model for measuring design intervention strategy effectiveness. This will be achieved through case study analysis of two historic cemeteries: Eugene Masonic Cemetery and Eugene Pioneer Cemetery which were selected based on documented struggles with vandalism and a theorized change in the rate of vandalism in response to design intervention.
