John Hasse, Ph.D. is an assistant professor of geography at Rowan University. Holding a masters degree in urban planning from the Edward J. Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy and a 2nd masters and Ph.D. in geography from Rutgers University, Hasse's research interest focuses on land use geography, environmental planning and spatial analysis. Professor Hasse's research expertise utilizes geospatial technologies including geographic information systems (GIS), digital land information data, and satellite remote sensing to analyze urban sprawl and the environmental and social impacts associated to urbanization. Other research interests include environmental planning, smart growth, ecological building design, analytical methods of spatial science, impervious surface analysis and farmland preservation. Hasse has presented numerous professional papers and published multiple articles and reports on land use and environmental issues including analyzing sprawl, quantifying smart growth, farmland preservation, geospatial data analysis and spatial patterns of tobacco usage on college campuses. Hasse has also worked closely with the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection on land use mapping and smart growth-related policy development.
