Sara | Bronin | City and Regional Planning | A Historic Preservation Local Law Census: Where and Why | People interact with preservation law predominantly at the local level, through historic commissions that opine on proposed rehab projects. Yet there is neither a census of local governments that regulate historic places, nor any scholarship that ties adoption to demographic characteristics, political inclinations, and state enabling authority features. My research will identify where historic districts have been adopted and explore how rates of adoption change from state to state depending on various independent variables. |

The survey interview questionnaire covers three dimensions of belonging, or what Campos-Medina 2019 describes as Bounded Integration: (1) Social Economic Status, (2) Civic and Social Movement Engagement, and (3) Collective Group Identity.
