This is a three-paper dissertation on placemaking, urban space, and the Southeast Asian American (SEAA) experience in San Francisco. The first paper (chapter 2) is a quantitative spatial study of SEAA demographic patterns in the San Francisco Bay Area, the second paper (chapter 3) is an archival study of community formation through the Tenderloin Neighborhood Development Corporation archives, and the third paper (chapter 4) is a volunteer ethnography with a community organization.Chapter 2: An Empirical Exploration of Southeast Asian American Residential Patterns in the San Francisco Bay Area (2000-2019)Research Questions: How did Southeast Asian American demographics change in the Bay Area between 2000 and 2019, in terms of spatial distributions, clustering, and other measures of residential clustering? How can advancements in quantitative methods reconfigure understandings of spatialization and reconceptualize the urban demographic?Methods: Analysis of United States Census data to provide demographic summaries, metrics of residential geography, degrees of concentration and clustering, and population density maps.Abstract: This paper explores three methods of reporting residential patterns: (1) concentration profiles, (2) density maps, and (3) proximity profiles. I analyze U.S. Census data to map and evaluate the residential patterns for Southeast Asian Americans in the nine-county San Francisco Bay Area. Drawing from the field of urban planning, I report two measures of segregation and concentration (a) dissimilarity indices and (b) spatial proximity indices, and I discuss their limitations. Since mapping and spatial statistics are essential to understanding the histories, development, and advancement of Southeast Asian American communities, it is important to promote their broad usage. The paper's findings lend evidence to three arguments: (1) pioneering moments (the establishment of new immigrant communities) can in fact start path dependent community growth, (2) clustering and dispersion to some extent can be predicted by classic theories of spatial assimilation, but new dynamics are playing out in today's communities from Asian and Latino origins, including Southeast Asian American communities, and (3) residential clustering cases are circumstantial, dependent on unique local circumstances.Chapter 3: Refugee Placemaking and Community in San Francisco: Building a Southeast Asian American Community in San Francisco, from the Tenderloin Neighborhood Development Corporation Archives (1980-2000)Research Questions: How do the TNDC archives inform narratives and discourses of neighborhood change, refugee integration, and community partnership in San Francisco? How did community formation for SEAA residents of San Francisco relate to the built environment and urban planning and policy landscape?Methods: Case study of the Tenderloin Neighborhood Development Corporation (TNDC) affordable housing/buildings serving SEAA residents. Data collected and documented from building reports, organizational records, and newspapers.Abstract: The article draws from Tenderloin Neighborhood Development Corporation (TNDC) archival materials, housed in the San Francisco History Center at the San Francisco Public Library, to present a case study of how the SEAA residents and a collection of actors collectively affected the local Southeast Asian American space (1980-2000). This article (1) examines the discourse of 'neighborhood stabilization' amidst housing precarity, (2) discusses the implications of refugees as 'revitalizers' and 'entrepreneurs,' and (3) documents the role of community partnerships and urban planning in building a SEAA community in the heart of San Francisco. Overall, the article argues that efforts to build affordable housing within a unique urban planning environment were instrumental in the formation of the Southeast Asian American community of San Francisco, and it demonstrates how local affordable housing and the built environment in refugee resettlement sits at the nexus of competing discourses about development and about inclusion. Chapter 4: Southeast Asian American San Francisco: A Community Organization from the Perspective of a Volunteer Ethnographer (2022-2023)Research Questions: How does a local organization function as a community anchor? How has a community organization responded to specific needs of a SEAA community in the post-pandemic context? How can volunteer work inform both theory and practice in the nonprofit sector?Abstract: Thousands of Southeast Asian American (SEAA) refugees and immigrants have called San Francisco's Tenderloin District home, and their role in placemaking, community advancement, and cultural contributions are harbingers of future demographic dynamics in the North American metropolis. However, this community has been largely invisible in the urban planning and public policy literatures. In this ethnographic work, I document my experiences volunteering with a nonprofit and advocacy organization (referred to as The Center) that has served the SEAA community for several decades. Through these experiences, I find that (1) The Center provides a concrete anchor for the community, consistent with recent urban planning literature on placemaking, (2) the organizational motivations and self-narrative helps staff to confront logistical and contextual challenges, and (3) that volunteerism brings pragmatic resources and provides a critical lens for documenting and recording the history of the organization. The case study illustrates key elements of the political-economy of the social service industry in which the dynamics of immigrant placemaking, community advancement, and urban politics coalesce.
