The Ecological Model is a comprehensive health promotion model concerned with ways in which environment, behavior, and policy help individuals make healthy choices in their daily lives. The core belief of the model is that human behavior does not happen in a vacuum. Rather, human behavior is a complex interaction between individuals, their families, their communities, their spaces, and the society in which they live.

Project PROCESSES
The proposal communicates a vision and framework for human health and environmental stewardship to a broad community through productive strategies, in an interactive design and implementation process. This framework will enable crosspollination among constituencies invested in the site: will value these diverse investments and integrally engage frameworks already in place, to leverage their capacity to contribute to shared project goals, by pursuing co-benefits and building synergies, in order to maximize the role design can play. An operative platform for working across scales leverages the varying reach of Wyoming Street organizations, to contribute to the project goals: e.g. recognizing that WCNY operates at scale of 19 counties, while co-programming with the Red Housecan better enable the Wyoming Street project to contribute to strengthen Central New Yorks urban hub. Building the Project_Building Community Processes of design and implementation provide opportunities for community building, integrating artists and local fabricators. We will collaborate with NWSI and partner organizations to formulate means of involving youth and community in project implementation as well as design phases, to create amazing spaces, contribute to social enterprise and neighborhood economy, strengthen ties, and build stewardship. We hope to be able, through SALT Quarters, to collaborate with artists to enable community/youth involvement in development and implementation of targeted project elements.

Physical Environment
The physical environment encompasses factors such as open space and access to nature, access to recreational facilities, the aesthetic or perceived qualities of these facilities, and community design issues related to density, land use, and connectivity. Strategies at this level target specific design elements that can support the goals and outcomes of interest.

TRAILS PORCHES & ROOMS The Trail, Porches, and Rooms work together with existing street and buildings to form a Linear Park, drawing people up and down the street. --the Trail brings the Outside Nature -- into the street; --Porches mediate between inside and outside, residential and public space, sidewalk and street, Trail and Rooms; --the Rooms bring the inside out, locating Outdoor Program Space in relation with NWSI and partner organizations, who may play a stewardship role.
The ROOMS are community spaces, with program and character calibrated to provide a range of activities. At these space, stormwater runoff from roofs is captured and used for irrigation. All of these spaces include lighting and seating, and may provide opportunities for art installation. The Trailhead, at the south end of Wyoming Street, is conceived as an Urban Nature Center, adding to the Nojaims and St. Josephs Health and Wellness anchor. The Trailhead provides Trail, Creek, and Near Westside tourist information, as well as an Interactive history of Onondaga county land and people. As well as Trail Maps, it could provide bike, cross-country ski and snow shoe rental. A Healing Garden, Shuffleboard and Bocce Courts, and restrooms (if feasible) would contribute to this environment.
The PORCHES are social infrastructure: thresholds that mediate between disparate scales and uses, emphasizing interactivity. The Community Porch at the James Geddes Houses provides social seating, shade, trees, low planting and integrated lighting, floating between street and sidewalk, open to both sides. At the boundaries of community spaces (the Rooms), they are transparent, flexible enclosures, in support of safety, program, and identity, including digital access and interaction. Porches are to be calibrated in relation with street width and location of porches in original neighborhood. Porch elements are constructed of black locust or other locally-sourced wood, in combination with recycled plastic lumber, and other durable materials. Photovoltaic panels generate energy used to power Wifi access and integrated LED lighting.

The TRAIL is a prototype for elevating pedestrian experience through integration of nature and play, for a positive experience of nature in the city. The mission of the Trail is to foster stewardship of urban nature through diverse recreational and educational opportunities, enhancing awareness, appreciation, and understanding. Conceptual strategy is to approach design of sidewalk as if it were in a park. Urban Nature Trail
The Otisco-Marcellus block provides opportunities for active recreation, where it intersects with the Trail (see Trail) and includes the SALTScape Play room, which The Trail draws nature in from Onondaga reconstructs a portion of the original Creek at the edge of the neighborhood, and up saltworks, with an interactive display of from layers of history of formation of the site.

Connecting the south end of Wyoming Street to the Onondaga Creek Walk and downtown, the Trail engages all project elements and spaces, linking to bike lanes on West Street, through Recreation Alley, with its Wave Screen, Playground, Play Loop, Fitness Circuits, and Skate Park. Planting along the Trail aims to maximize biodiversity. Gently undulating topography, varied shade, and textured materiality, and lowmaintenance plantings, stimulate the senses, and encourage movement and discovery through active participation. Paving and planting in the trail slip alongside each other creating a sense of fluidity. The Trail offers a paradigm for integrating healthy functional ecological systems and with an improved recreational infrastructure for a more beautiful and productive city. It extends the logic of the Connective Corridor to realize further co-benefits, in this neighborhood adjacent to the creek. Trail design standards would meet city DOT requirements on public property, with more flexibility in site areas belonging to NWSI. The Radiant Trail, a geothermally-heated (saltfree) walkway between the Trailhead and Nojaim Brothers Supermarket, is proposed as a pilot project, with health and green infrastructure metrics, which could be tracked. Disposition of planting will maximize presence of existing mature trees, for which we will produce a tree protection plan. New Trees including Urban Forestry/Nursery Lots, are High Canopy Trees, enabling visibility. Plantings at the pavement edge are characterized by those found in the shade of the forest, including native Red Maple, understory trees, ferns and evergreen groundcovers. The Trail and the Urban Forestry initiatives together contribute to a richer, functioning ecology that fosters biodiversity while increasing opportunities for physical and social activity.

Social Environment
Strategies for producing change at the level of the social environment promote positive community attitudes and awareness around specific health behaviors, and/or shift cultural norms around outcomes of interest. Aspects of the social environment that one might engage include community and cultural norms, the socioeconomic status of the community, family habits, access to social support networks, and safety.
Individual Behavior
This level focuses on factors related to an individuals behavior as it relates to her/his health. At the level of the individual, factors influencing behaviors include knowledge, attitudes, and skills.

Urban Forestry Initiative: From vacant lots to full environments In the context of a landowner incentive program, a lifted and open canopy of trees may fill in vacant lots, while providing shaded, potentially public spaces, including a learning center about Syracuse regional ecosystems. Trees can be selectively thinned and sold as street trees for Syracuse neighborhoods. The use of nursery operations and practices as a structuring system and time-based urbanization process may contribute to urban reforestation, creek bank stabilization, and opportunities for employment. Tree planting will provide visual relief and shelter, increase adjacent property values, conserve energy by reducing air conditioning costs, filter air pollutants, and reduce stormwater runoff.
