Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Amid the decline in defense spending following the end of the Cold War, military base closures have prompted some of the most vocal public concerns. Public expectations of the impact often verge on the apocalyptic, and economic forecasts of the local effects seem to bolster such fears. While many studies have been done on the closure and revitalization process, little new work has been done on the immediate economic impacts of base closures since the wave of closures after the Vietnam War. This study examined the experience of the communities surrounding three of the largest bases closed in California since 1988. The bases were selected due to their large presence in the local community and to the fact that the communities were sufficiently isolated geographically that the effects could be expected to be both severe and measurable. The study used a case-study approach to examine the impact on nearby communities of three base closures: George Air Force Base (AFB), located in San Bernardino County, which closed in December 1992; Fort Ord, located in Monterey County, which closed in September 1994; Castle Air Force Base, located in Merced County, which was slated for closure in 1995 and from which 65 percent of its uniformed personnel had been vacated by October 1994. To assess the impact of base closures on local communities, the study used nine measures-two centering on changes in population, four on changes in employment, and three on changes in the housing market. The study investigated how the closures impacted the size of the total population in nearby communities and the size of those communities' school enrollments. It looked at the size of neighboring communities' labor forces, their unemployment rates, their taxable retail sales, and their municipal revenues.

This book was released on 1976 with total page 117 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Announced mission changes at certain military installations have caused considerable civilian concern. Neighboring communities have perceived detrimental effects resulting from these mission changes and have applied pressure upon government officials either to reverse or to alter previously announced changes. The Air Force can expect adverse court decisions until the factors that affect local communities relative to the military mission changes are known. The desired result of this research effort was to accumulate as much supportive information as possible with which to enhance future research efforts for modeling and predicting the social impact of base mission changes.
Download or read book Geographic Perspectives on the Relationship of Air Force Base Realignments to Rural Community Welfare in the United States written by Stephen Franklin Burrell and published by . This book was released on 1982 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Small towns in rural locations expect socioeconomic trauma when military bases in their hinterlands are closed. The purpose of this research is to learn how three small communities were affected by closure of their adjacent Air Force bases and to explain the role played by location as an influence on community revival efforts after base closure. Explaining socioeconomic relationships between the host community and its nearby military base as an inherent part of the study. Elements of the Air Force base realignment process are described; the site and situation of each community is discussed; the economic health of case study communities before and after base closure is compared to that of other communities of similar size and location; detailed socioeconomic effects of base closure on each community are presented; and the influence of location on each community's strategy for revival is explained.

This book was released on 1976 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The legal implications of base-community relationships have focused Air Force attention on efforts to determine what factors affect local communities when military installations are opened, closed, or subjected to significant mission changes. There are numerous aspects of the quality of life in a community which could be studied to determine the potential for environmental impact. This study is directed at identifying social indicators associated with civil information sources which exist in public records or which are readily obtained from commercial enterprises dealing in services to the public. The objective of the study focused on the capability to gather supportable evidence that will enable subsequent research teams to develop a model for predicting the social impact of a military base closure. After reviewing the records of the community of Bellefontaine, Ohio, the authors conclude that civil data sources are available and are in fact a matter of public record. An attempt was made to assess the information obtained for any indication of an impact on the community resulting from the closure of Bellefontaine Air Station in 1969. The thesis constitutes a viable approach to addressing the social impact assessment of a community in association with a military installation. (Author).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Military bases exercise a significant influence on many communities. A base closure inevitably creates strong community apprehension. Many of these apprehensions can be allayed once the impact of a military base on a nearby community is fully understood. The DOD has been unable to accurately assess the environmental impact of a military base closure on a nearby community; hence, they have begun to establish a data base from which environmental impact assessments of base closures can be made. This research examined the closure of Laredo Air Force Base, Laredo, Texas. The research objectives were to identify factors changed significantly subsequent to base closure. The methods employed in analysis were: factor analysis, time-series, and subjective analysis. The research revealed that three major factors existed which explained the environmental impact of the base clsoure: the Growth Factor, the Extrinsic Factor, and the Intrinsic Factor. The researchers concluded that there was no significant impact apparent in the Growth Factor, while there was a significant impact apparent in both the extrinsic Factor and the Intrinsic Factor.
