"This thesis investigates the intraurban vulnerability to extreme heat in Los Angeles, focusing on \r\nthe San Fernando Valley. Examining two areas, Arleta – Pacoima and Encino – Tarzana to \r\nunderstand how historical, socio-economic, and biophysical factors influence vulnerability to \r\nextreme heat. To explore the situation theories of vulnerability, urban climate justice, and \r\nmaladaptation are utilized as they each impact extreme heat. Using a triangulation approach by \r\ncombining policy document analysis, GIS analysis, and semi-structured interviews to assess \r\nexisting conditions and adaptation strategies. \r\n\r\nThe findings reveal significant disparities between the two neighborhoods. Arleta – Pacoima, a \r\npredominantly minority and lower-income area, showed greater vulnerability due to historical \r\nredlining, disinvestment, and inadequate infrastructure. GIS analysis depicted higher rates of \r\npoverty, health conditions exacerbated by extreme heat, and lower educational attainment in this \r\narea compared to the Encino – Tarzana area. Encino – Tarzana, a more affluent and predominantly \r\nwhite area depicted lower vulnerability, better infrastructure, and more green spaces. Through \r\npolicy analysis, gaps between legislative intentions and real-world outcomes were highlighted. \r\nAlthough policies like Senate Bill 1000 and CF 22-156: Climate Action and Adaptation Plan in \r\nthe City’s General Plan stress equity and recognitional justice, their implementation often does \r\nnot address the needs of the most vulnerable communities. These gaps were emphasized by local \r\ngovernment and community organizations, pointing to insufficient administrative support and the \r\nneed for more inclusive adaptation strategies. This research concludes that intraurban vulnerability \r\nin Los Angeles is driven by governmental structure, historical redlining, and disinvestment in \r\nminority neighborhoods. Emphasizing that recognitional justice is crucial in shaping equitable \r\nadaptation strategies to avoid recreating existing inequalities."^^ . "2024" . . . . . . . "Ian"^^ . "Rivera"^^ .
