“…These findings suggest that portable shelters should be designed to be easily hidden and that entrances should be secure. Lurie and Wodiczko () even propose a lock or alarm system to protect personal items, and Pable and Fishburne () discuss that unlocked doors can create fear and stress in homeless shelters. Newton (2008), as cited in Parsell (), “found that people feeling safe and secure contributed to them developing emotional attachments of home,” even in portable dwellings such as caravans (p. 162).…”

“…Lurie and Wodiczko () designed a homeless vehicle inspired by a grocery shopping cart that could be used as a shelter and transportation for belongings. As noted by the authors, “the working model was discussed with scavengers and passers‐by” on the streets of New York City (p. 62).…”

“…Bedrooms in homeless shelters that do not have locking doors, for example, can increase resident stress and fear but instill discipline and adherence to rules. While the research by Pable () and Pable and Fishburne () does provide some design guidelines that could be considered for portable shelters (security/fear, control, and organization), only Lurie and Wodiczko () have received feedback on their design from individuals living on the streets.…”

“…Issues with animals entering Prototype Two and concerns related to other homeless people or the law finding the shelter never occurred to us. Even though passive user involvement in the form of information gathering gave justification to design ideas such as the backpack straps for mobility (Alter, ; Lurie & Wodiczko, ), the pocket for storage and control (Pable, ; Pable & Fishburne, ; Parsell, ), and increased privacy (Pable, ), the actual testing on the homeless provided what Oygur and McCoy term, knowledge generation. This knowledge generation on design considerations is summarized in Table .…”

“…Designers have experimented with basic‐shelter needs for the homeless since the 1980s (Alter, ; Lurie & Wodiczko, ), and the challenges are great: (1) the housing must be moveable, (2) the materials must resist the elements, (3) the shelter needs to be cost effective (Alter, ), and (4) the home should preserve dignity and privacy (Pable, ). Based on these needs, a number of prototypes of temporary shelters have been designed (Howard, ; Lurie & Wodiczko, ; Walburger, ; Young, ), but only Lurie and Wodiczko () attempted participatory design by discussing their solution with the homeless.

Even though prototypes of portable, homeless shelters exist, as noted above, documentation on what the homeless think about these prototypes is slim .…”

On any given night in 2015, over 500,000 people were homeless and 31% of them slept in unsheltered locations. Given the seriousness of this situation, the purpose of this research study was to test a student prototyped, portable shelter with six men who were homeless. Qualitative interview questions were developed by the research team. Six, open‐ended questions for baseline interviews and 11 open‐ended questions were used after the men slept in the shelter for two nights. The men ranged in age from 25 to 56 years and had been homeless for 1–5 years. Two of the men were African American and four were Caucasian. Several themes emerged from the data collected: dignity, safety, security, control, privacy, and portability. While the research team thought that carrying the shelter on your back was a novel idea, none of the men liked this design feature. The majority of men carried backpacks and stated that individuals who are homeless would not carry the shelter, rather they would hide it. Dignity also became an issue, as these men did not want to advertise their homeless condition by carrying the shelter. Safety and security from the “law,” “animals,” and “other homeless” people were other concerns. All of the men liked the privacy and control the shelter provided as it allowed them to eat, sleep, and talk on their cell phone when they wanted to. Giving these men a voice and allowing them to actively sleep in the prototype gave the research team a better understanding of design suggestions needed for portable homeless shelters.

The polyphagous planthopper, Kallitaxila granulata (Stål) (Hemiptera: Fulgoromorpha: Tropiduchidae), has been recently introduced into southeastern China, the Philippine islands, and Hawaii, where it has done significant damage to agricultural and forest ecosystems. The external morphology of the heads of adult male and female K. granulata was examined using scanning electron microscopy. Seven types of sensilla were reported: trichoid sensilla and campaniform sensilla on the antennal pedicel, antennal scape and maxilla; plate organs on the antennal pedicel; coeloconic sensilla in Bourgoin's organ on the expanded flagellar base; ampullaceal sensilla on the antennal pedicel; wavy-pit sensilla on the antennal pedicel and antennal scape; and coin-shaped sensilla on each lateral side of the labium. Evans' organ was described as placoid sensilla sunk into shallow cuticular cavities below the antennae. The external morphology, distribution, and abundance of sensilla located on antennae, maxillae, and labium in K. granulata were illustrated, with a brief discussion of their taxonomic, phylogenetic, and putative functional significance.
