Week 2 Assignment:

The differences between the Community Development page and the Crime Stoppers page include the amount of activity in the talk page and the amount of information presented on each topic.

The Community Development page has information from many different sources from many different editors. Also, the page contains information about the origin of the topic, multiple definitions, approaches, and history. As for the Crime Stoppers page, there is a lack of information present on the location of the program. Additionally, there are minimal citations used on the page. Therefore, given the fact that more users have made more contributions to the Community Development page than users to the Crime Stoppers page, there is a lot more detailed information available on the Community Development page than the Crime Stoppers page.

Rough Draft: Functional zoning or functional city zoning is a land use method for dividing parts of land by their function[1]. Typically, land-use is defined by in two separate ways, by its function and by its physical characteristics [2]. When land-use is defined by its function that is called functional zoning, and when land-use is characterized by its physical characteristics it is called zoning based on physical characteristics such as, development density, minimum lot size, and building coverage, placement and height that is called zoning based on physical characteristics.[2] An example functional zoning would be a land divided into separate zones such as an industrial zone where industrial activities occur, a recreational zone such as green space for recreational activities to occur, and a residential zone reserved for homes.[1]
