Listing Of Tangible Cultural Properties: Expanded Recognition For Historic Buildings In Japan, Chester H. Liebs Jul 1998

Listing Of Tangible Cultural Properties: Expanded Recognition For Historic Buildings In Japan, Chester H. Liebs

Washington International Law Journal

Since the late 19th century, Japan has enacted a series of measures to protect its cultural heritage, most importantly the 1950 Law for the Protection of Cultural Properties. With subsequent amendments, the law today provides for the protection of both individual and groups of historical structures, landscapes, traditional crafts and skills, as well as national treasures. While these laws have saved many of the nation's foremost cultural resources, a substantial number of important historic structures, especially from the Meiji Period (1868) onward, have fallen through this legal safety net. This Article summarizes the evolution of Japan's cultural properties protection legislation, …

Korea's Greenbelts: Impacts And Options For Change, Chang-Hee Christine Bae Jul 1998

Korea's Greenbelts: Impacts And Options For Change, Chang-Hee Christine Bae

Washington International Law Journal

The discussions about urban growth boundaries in the United States have paid little attention to Korea's Greenbelt policy. Established in 1971, Seoul's massive Greenbelt has been rigidly maintained, although there have been some minor exceptions over the years. The liberalization of the Korean economy and the democratization of Korean society have been accompanied by deregulation in many spheres. However, land use planning remains tightly constrained, and there has only been minimal relaxation of the land laws; in fact, on balance they have become tougher. Some scholars have begun to question whether the Greenbelt might have restricted economic growth in Korea …

"The Best Laid Schemes . . . ": Land-Use Planning And Historic Preservation In Cambodia, William Chapman Jul 1998

"The Best Laid Schemes . . . ": Land-Use Planning And Historic Preservation In Cambodia, William Chapman

Washington International Law Journal

This Article examines existing land use laws and proposed historic preservation-related legislation in Cambodia and offers a critical appraisal of their applicability and hopes for success. Cambodia is a small country that faces (and has faced) numerous political and economic difficulties. It possesses a rich architectural and archaeological heritage that is threatened by proposed land-use changes and future development. Initiated primarily by outsiders, principally planners and archaeologists from Europe and the United States, Cambodia's newly formulated land-use laws attempt to take irreplaceable cultural resources into account. However, plans such as those proposed by UNESCO and consultants to the government appear …

Square Pegs And Round Holes: Fitting Modern Title Into Traditional Societies In Indonesia, Timothy Lindsey Jul 1998

Square Pegs And Round Holes: Fitting Modern Title Into Traditional Societies In Indonesia, Timothy Lindsey

Washington International Law Journal

In Indonesia, diverse interests in land recognised by dozens, maybe hundreds, of different adat (traditional customary legal systems) coexist with a Dutch-derived system of land title. The most problematic adat interest is traditional communal title, or hak ulayat. Indonesia's New Order government sees adat rights—and hak ulayat in particular—as incompatible with the demands of economic development. Although some adat rights are recognised in the key statute regulating interests in land, the Basic Agrarian Law, the New Order government has systematically subverted the standing of adat. Likewise, the land registration system has become a corrupt failure, with the consequence …

Infrastructure Services And Financing In Chinese Cities, Kam Wing Chan Jul 1998

Infrastructure Services And Financing In Chinese Cities, Kam Wing Chan

Washington International Law Journal

Drawing on fieldwork in five cities in 1994 as well as national statistics, this Article analyzes the provision of urban infrastructure services and financing. As marketization proceeds, an overhaul of the urban public finance system, along with a redefinition of the role of local government in China, is urgently required.

An Overview Of Washington's Growth Management Act, Eric S. Laschever Jul 1998

An Overview Of Washington's Growth Management Act, Eric S. Laschever

Washington International Law Journal

Beginning in the 1970s, a number of states began adopting state wide growth management statutes. In response to increasing population pressures, Washington State enacted its Growth Management Act ("GMA") in 1990. This article examines the GMA's requirements for comprehensive plans, its enforcement and appeals provisions, and the relationship of the GMA to other Washington State laws, including the State Environmental Policy Act and the Shoreline Management Act. The GMA has significantly changed the land use planning process in Washington, and its effects can already be seen in wide spread protection of critical areas, the designation of urban growth policies, and …

Customary Title, Heritage Protection, And Property Rights In Australia: Emerging Patterns Of Land Use In The Post-Mabo Era, Maureen Tehan Jul 1998

Customary Title, Heritage Protection, And Property Rights In Australia: Emerging Patterns Of Land Use In The Post-Mabo Era, Maureen Tehan

Washington International Law Journal

The Mabo decision represented a major doctrinal change in the relationship between Indigenous people and the settler legal system. However, significant legislative developments in land use and management recognizing some Indigenous interests in land had already laid the groundwork for joint land management schemes and concurrent land uses. These developments have formed the basis for ongoing expansion of coexistent land uses with the negotiation of formal and informal agreements for co-management of land. A range of factors influence these agreements, including the existence of enforceable property rights and non-property based heritage protection legislation. These regimes are currently in a state …

Employment Protection And Domestic Violence: Addressing Abuse In The Labor Grievance Process, Jennifer Atterbury Jul 1998

Employment Protection And Domestic Violence: Addressing Abuse In The Labor Grievance Process, Jennifer Atterbury

Journal of Dispute Resolution

The effects of domestic violence are not limited to the home environment. Its effects are felt in employment when abused employees are absent from work and when violent incidents erupt in the workplace. For example, a bruised employee might be too injured and embarrassed to attend work, or an estranged spouse might stalk and harass a victim on the job. Another issue arises in that employers often discipline victims of domestic violence for absenteeism and incidents of violence that occur in the workplace. Discipline of union members is governed by collective bargaining agreements and subject to the labor grievance process. …

Is Alternative Dispute Resolution A Possibility In The Riverboat Gambling Quagmire - Akin V. Missouri Gaming Commission, Matthew Potter Jul 1998

Is Alternative Dispute Resolution A Possibility In The Riverboat Gambling Quagmire - Akin V. Missouri Gaming Commission, Matthew Potter

Journal of Dispute Resolution

During the 1990s, the emergence of riverboat gambling operations has led to an avalanche of social and political debates.' Since 1989, riverboat gaming has been electorally approved in several midwestern states, including Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Mississippi, Missouri, and Louisiana.4 However, this voter acceptance of a formerly stigmatized industry has not come without a significant backlash. In particular, religious groups have denounced riverboat gambling, claiming that such activity inevitably leads to, inter alia, dissipated savings, chronic addictions, and other ancillary societal vices, including prostitution, alcoholism, and drug abuse.'
