Gated Community
A gated community (or walled community) is a form of residential community or housing estate containing strictly controlled entrances for pedestrians, bicycles, and automobiles, and often characterized by a closed perimeter of walls and fences. Historically, cities have built defensive city walls and controlled gates to protect their inhabitants, and such fortifications have also separated quarters of some cities. Today, gated communities usually consist of small residential streets and include various shared amenities. For smaller communities, these amenities may include only a park or other common area. For larger communities, it may be possible for residents to stay within the community for most daily activities. Gated communities are a type of common interest development, but are distinct from intentional communities. Given that gated communities are spatially a type of enclave, Setha M. Low, an anthropologist, has argued that they have a negative effect on the net socia ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Potrero (landform)
A potrero is a long mesa that at one end slopes upward to higher terrain. This landform commonly occurs on the flanks of a mountain, as part of a dissected plateau. A loan word from the Spanish language, potrero is in current use in the southwestern United States, where it is sometimes translated as "tongue of land" and "enclosed piece of pasture land". In the Spanish language, however, the "tongue of land" sense is archaic. Also archaic is the related sense of potrero referring to someone who wrangles young horses (''potros'' in Spanish) kept as breeding stock (not saddle or pack stock). In Spanish, the usual sense of ''potrero'' now refers to any land (such as a ranch, open range, or community pasture) where such horses are kept. Notable examples of potreros include some of the many mesas of the Pajarito Plateau near Santa Fe, New Mexico (United States).These "finger mesas" were once a continuous deposit of compressed volcanic ash (the Bandelier Tuff). Water then cut the tuff ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
