Abstract:

While the overall objective of municipal tree ordinances is to provide safe and attractive community forests, the approach to addressing this issue varies profoundly among municipalities. This study explores the relationship between community characteristics and municipal tree ordinances using data from 151 Illinois communities. Results show significant correlations between ordinance provisions and comrnunity 'characteristics relating to wealth and education. Communities with higher mean income and level of education are more likely to have provisions biased toward the maintenance and protecti

Abstract:

The purpose of this study is to find a method for the Sejong City Public Museum to contribute to the development of local culture and the promotion of lifelong education. It can be said that the difference from existing research is that it focuses on the “Ordinance”, which is an institutional device for this purpose, and compares and analyzes it with the museum management ordinances of other local governments. As a result of the survey, out of the 23 local government's museum operation ordinances, five ordinances were the ordinances in which the purpose of the ordinance was to describe the dev

In Bulgaria, public relations associated with spatial planning, investment design and construction are regu-lated by the Spatial Development Act (2001). According to article 62 (10) of this act, each Municipal Coun-cil adopts an Ordinance for the construction and protection of the green system on the territory of the municipality. There are 265 municipalities in Bulgaria and they are free to customise this ordinance as long as the goals and framework of the Spatial Development Act (2001) are maintained.

Abstract Introduction There is significant heterogeneity in firework-related legislation across the country, with some states outright banning sales, possession, and use. Others restrict the dates and types of fireworks that can be purchased. Municipalities often adopt firework ordinances that apply within their city limits, pushing the sale and use into unincorporated areas or permitting easy access to illegal fireworks for transport into city limits. We seek to understand how effective firework ordinances are at preventing firework injuries. We hypothesize lax municipal ordinances will have

Abstract:

Thousands of municipalities across the country have adopted crime-free nuisance ordinances—laws that sanction landlords for their tenants’ behaviors, coercing them to evict tenants for actions as innocuous as calling 9-1-1 in an emergency. These facially neutral ordinances give wide discretion to municipal officials, leading to discriminatory enforcement of evictions. As a result, these ordinances have a devastating impact on victims of domestic violence and are used as a tool to inhibit integration in majority-white municipalities. Many plaintiffs have brought lawsuits alleging violations of

Food’s place on the urban, municipal agenda has become an increasing focus in the emergent fields of food policy and food planning, whose leaders argue that food needs to be more explicitly added to the urban agenda. Yet, public food markets are a food system activity that municipal governments have been long engaged in. Reports from leading health, planning, and food organizations assert that farmers markets—the dominant form of public retail food markets in the US today—should be explicitly included in zoning and other municipal codes to ensure that they can be created and sustained.

Abstract:

Abstract Forest landowners, like farmers, have been subjected to nuisance lawsuits and local ordinances regulating their activities. Two types of right-to-practice-forestry laws offer varying degrees of protection: those that provide a defense against nuisance lawsuits, and those that restrict the ability of local governments to regulate forestry activities. Such laws are becoming more prevalent, but once they are enacted, only legislators can redefine legal and illegal forestry activities. State lawmakers, not foresters, are thus determining the management options of forest landowners.

Abstract:

The growing expansion of socioeconomic activities without considering the potentialities and limitations regarding the land use constitutes a potential source of deterioration of the environment. The present work aimed to diagnose the areas of land use conflict in the municipality of Batatais-SP. The methodological procedure consisted of geographic information systems and remote sensing techniques. The municipal area was regionalized into hydrological response units (HRU). The quantitative data of area, length of the drainage network and roughness number were determined, and the processes and

Abstract:

The contemporary custom in South Africa of conferring the honorary citizenship of a municipality on an individual originated in England and not, as at times argued, with the Romans. During the Middle Ages the so-called freemen were the only persons in England who enjoyed the full privileges of local management areas (boroughs). The word "freeman" did, however, as a result of legislation passed in the 19th century, lose its original meaning and much of its prestige value. Consequently a new title was created in 1885 to give to prominent people, namely "honorary freeman" (in Afrikaans known as "

Abstract:

This article investigates predictors of living wage ordinance adoption in U.S. cities. The authors build on previous research by including all cities with more than 25,000 people (1,072 cities), adding new variables to measure favorable political context, use of event history analysis (Cox regression) to analyze temporal effects in diffusion, and distinguishing between predictors of early and late adoption. General political context, city size, and municipal expenditures were significant predictors, while grievances, presence of a local ACORN chapter, union density, and form of city government

Abstract:

This note offers a critical reflection of the recent landmark decision in City of Johannesburg Metropolitan Municipality v Gauteng Development Tribunal which lay to rest the negative consequences of employing the DFA procedures of the Development Facilitation Act 67 of 1995 (DFA) alongside those of the provincial Ordinances to establish townships (or to use DFA parlance, “land development areas”). The welcome and timely decision in City of Johannesburg Metropolitan Municipality v Gauteng Development Tribunal has declared invalid chapters V and VI of the DFA. Moreover, it has formalised plannin
