Regulating Coastal Zones: International Perspectives on Land Management Instruments
Year: 2021 Language: english Author: Rachelle Alterman and Cygal Pellach Genre: Technical book Publisher: Routledge Edition: 1st ed. ISBN: 1138361550 Format: PDF Quality: eBook Pages count: 456 Description: Regulating Coastal Zones addresses the knowledge gap concerning the legal and regulatory challenges of managing land in coastal zones across a broad range of political and socio-economic contexts. In recent years, coastal zone management has gained increasing attention from environmentalists, land use planners, and decision-makers across a broad spectrum of fields. Development pressures along coasts such as high-end tourism projects, luxury housing, ports, energy generation, military outposts, heavy industry, and large-scale enterprise compete with landscape preservation and threaten local history and culture. Leading experts present fifteen case studies among advanced-economy countries, selected to represent three groups of legal contexts: signatories to the 2008 Mediterranean ICZM Protocol, parties to the 2002 EU Recommendation on Integrated Coastal Zone Management, and the USA and Australia. This book is the first to address the legal-regulatory aspects of coastal land management from a systematic cross-national comparative perspective. By including both successful and less-effective strategies, it aims to inform professionals, graduate students, policy makers, and NGOs of the legal and socio-political challenges as well as the better practices from which others could learn Biography Rachelle Alterman is Professor (emerita) of urban planning and law at the Technion—Israel Institute of Technology and Senior Researcher at the Neaman Institute for National Policy Research. She heads the Laboratory on Comparative Planning Law and Property Rights (PLPR). Alterman is the founding president of the International Academic Association on Planning, Law and Property Rights. Her research interests include comparative planning law and land use regulation, comparative land policy and property rights, housing policy, and implementation of public policy. She is highly published and cited. For her pioneering contribution to the field, she was awarded Honorary Member status by the Association of European Schools of Planning (among only six awarded this distinction, and the only non-European), and has been selected as one of 16 global "leaders in planning thought" whose academic autobiographies have recently been published in the book Encounters in Planning Thought (Routledge, 2017). Cygal Pellach holds a Bachelor of Planning from the University of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia, and a MSc in Urban and Regional Planning from the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology. She is currently completing a doctoral degree, also at the Technion, under Rachelle Alterman’s supervision. Between her MSc and her PhD studies, Cygal served as the team leader in the EU-funded research project, Mare Nostrum, headed by Alterman. Prior to embarking on an academic path, Cygal garnered five years’ experience in urban planning practice, working in private consultancy in Melbourne (VIC), Australia.
