Benjamin Deadman Scholarly Project Literature Review HONR 499 - Dr. Katie Jarriel The Literature Review and Sources for Parades and Their Many Impacts Parades are a staple of many communities big or small, or even multiple at once. Parades happen frequently throughout the year, so this project is to help elaborate these staples. Parades not only take planning from the hosting city to decide routes, but how do these routes affect everybody and their ways of living? Therefore, the question of this project is: How does the pathing of parades correlate with the zoning of buildings, as well as the effect of noise pollution on either Purdue Campus or the Greater Lafayette Area? Information that I wish to uncover from this research project is for the audience to learn about the impacts from a parade, whether it be positive or negative, crowd management or route calculations, commercial impacts or even sound production and resonation. These are all aspects of parades that affect many people whether they are participating or not in the parade. The information that could be produced would be a new form of route for parades around the Greater Lafayette Area and Purdue Campus. I also hope that the research that could be provided in this project be used for other events such as festivals, carnivals, or any other community events. Many of these sources do not directly help this research, however they do share small concepts that could be implemented into this research topic about community events and their impacts. Community events are also considered as small-scale spatial events, which can change 1

the normal schedule and adjust the interactions between goods, perspectives and ideas of the local people, and their movement throughout the local area. All of these are considered as local dynamics, which could be an outlet that this research could follow. It would be interesting to see the many effects that a small-scale spatial event has sociologically, but to also see how these events change the pathing of people during the duration of these community events. Using the model by (Batty et al., 2003), observations of the local people could be calculated in either observed events or any simulation. Running simulations could be useful to provide ideas of crowd and traffic management, which could be useful to form a reroute or relocation. A relocation could be considered depending on the noise pollution and the effect on the natural soundscape of that area. City and community soundscapes are typically the same, however they can easily be influenced on the societal as well as the ecological environments as well. A huge influence on all natural soundscapes was the COVID-19 pandemic as human confinement changed the overall city life. According to, (Ulloa et al., 2021), there was a significant drop of noise in urban areas during the COVID-19 pandemic, which was a time these researchers took advantage of to measure the effects people alone have on a soundscape. This is an important reference to see how easily soundscapes can be impacted, which is another outlet to follow within this research topic on community events. The standard definition of soundscapes are described as acoustic environments by (Aletta et al., 2018), which also declared soundscapes can have an impact on the dimensions of an area, the health or well-being of those in the soundscape, and the correlation between positive health between the previously mentioned. These mentioned aspects of soundscapes and health could be important to provide a relocation of community events if there is a decreasing health effect on those in soundscapes that are impacted by these events. However, soundscapes are not the only thing impacted by the small-scale spatial event, 2
