Urban stream restoration, as a new form of environmental movement and with all the hope emanating from it, has a missing piece. Activities such as catching frogs, skipping rocks, listening to water or swimming, although have been the essential joy of a nearby stream to many, have never been embraced by planners and designers. This dissertation names such activities "spontaneous use" and establishes it as the service philosophy of urban stream restoration. The dissertation involved two steps: first, to delineate the content and significance of the spontaneous use in today's urban context; second, to search for ways to place it at the center of urban stream restoration, both on the physical and cultural planes.

520 $a Urban stream restoration, as a new form of environmental movement and with all the hope emanating from it, has a missing piece. Activities such as catching frogs, skipping rocks, listening to water or swimming, although have been the essential joy of a nearby stream to many, have never been embraced by planners and designers. This dissertation names such activities "spontaneous use" and establishes it as the service philosophy of urban stream restoration. The dissertation involved two steps: first, to delineate the content and significance of the spontaneous use in today's urban context; second, to search for ways to place it at the center of urban stream restoration, both on the physical and cultural planes.
520 $a This dissertation began with an extensive survey project conducted at Marsh Creek in Brentwood, California to gain a snapshot of the current human-stream relationships. The project encompassed an adult household questionnaire survey, in-depth interviews with selected adults, and school drawing exercises with children. The results demonstrated the crucial role of the spontaneous use in forming creek experiences, values and advocacy, but revealed the paradox between the deep adult appreciation for the creek and the omnipresent "idyllic" mode of conception.
520 $a Observation and interaction with children at Marsh Creek and the other case-study sites---Sonoma Valley, California and Kochi, Japan---further provided a rich spectrum of spontaneous uses and their habitat requirements. These results enable planners and designers to envision a layer of geomorphology codified with human ecology.
520 $a Information from the fieldwork was then linked with the theories and techniques in stream restoration. By examining the potential conflict and applicability between the spontaneous use and the modus operandi in watershed management, urban stream planning and design, I proposed strategies to incorporate spontaneous use with other restoration goals.
520 $a Finally, three cultural barriers against the spontaneous use need to be confronted: growing up in a harmful status seeking society; danger and the liability concerns; and aesthetics imposed by nature ideology in vogue or loss in the past. This work addressed them through theoretical construction and argued for participatory planning and design as the means to fit spontaneous use of urban streams into the cultural landscape.
