Boundaries

BOUNDARIES OF GANG INJUNCTION IN PANORAMA CITY

• East of the 405 Freeway
• North of Roscoe Blvd
• West of Wakefield and Van Nuys
• South of Plummer

INVISIBLE MANMADE BARRIERS

-- Boundaries or are not only made by city officials or natural barriers, but through our experiences we found that boundaries are also created by the members of the community (ie Gangs, prostitutes)
-- One would not have the knowledge of these Invisible Manmade barriers unless one lives in the community or has verbal communication with community members


CHANGE IN SCENERY WHILE TRAVELING ON SEPULVEDA
During our drive, we observed the physical differences between North and South of Nordhoff St. which may imply the socioecomonic status of the community members

South of Nordhoff- Produce Vendors, homes, schools and local businesses enclosed by gates/fences, unkept streets, families, youth and children casually walking

North of Nordhoff- Appeared more socially stable, streets were cleaner, more green, less social activity.
