MedfordJAC(TSON BaseBrookings map of OregonCWB. countiesAshland courtesy of A. Jon KimerlingKlamath Falls Lakeview Introduction n 1973, Oregon took a pioneering step in land use planning. Signed into law on May 29, 1973, Oregon Senate Bill 100 created an institutional structure for statewide planning. It required that every Oregon city and county prepare a comprehensive plan in accordance with a set of general state goals. While preserving the dearly held principle of local responsi- bility for land use decisions, it simultaneously established and defined a broader public interest at the state level. Supervised by a Land Conser- vation and Development Commission (LCDC), the Oregon system has been an effort to combine the best of these two approaches to land use planning. The very existence of Oregon's planning system has helped to inspire and justify similar programs elsewhere. Its details have been stud- ied, copied, modified, and sometimes rejected as Florida, Maine, New Jersey, Georgia, and other states have considered "second generation" systems of state planning. The twentieth anniversary of the Oregon system marks an opportune time for reflection and evaluation. To this end we have invited both aca- demic experts and practitioners to comment on the Oregon experience. John DeGrove of Florida Atlantic University provides the perspective of someone who has studied statewide planning systems for over twenty years. Gerrit Knaap of the University of Illinois and Arthur C. Nelson of the Georgia Institute oF1'echnology have studied Oregon's program ex- tensively, while Robert Einsweiler of the Lincoln Institute of Land Policy brings a broad comparative perspective on regional growth issues. Sev- eral of the contributors have been involved in both teaching and consulting about Oregon planning issues as faculty members at the Uni- versity of Oregon (Michael 1-libbard), Oregon State University (James Pease), and Portland State University (Carl Abbott, Deborah Howe, Sy Adler, Nohad Toulan). Practitioners are represented by Ed Sullivan, rec- ognized as the state's leading land use attorney, by Mitch Rohse of the Department of Land Conservation and Development, and by Peter Watt of the Lane Council of Governments. The first section of the hook covers the evolution of the planning sys- tem fromthe l970s to the 1990s. Specific issues such as housing, lx x Planning the Oregon Way transportation, public facility siting, rural lands, and economic restruc- turing are examined next. The third section explores the future of the Oregon system, its relevance to other states, and directions for change. Although the editors have worked to eliminate unnecessary overlap among the chapters, we have not tried to reconcile conflicting interpretations of the Oregon system. Indeed, we believe that one of the values of this col- lection is the presentation of multiple points of view. There tend to be two mindsets among those who are favorably dis- posed toward the Oregon planning system. Outsiders frequently think it is extraordinary, in part because they have the perspective of trying to plan in environments that do not value planning or do not provide the institutional context that facilitates coordination, collaboration, and con- tinuity over time. Insiders are in a position to see the flaws. They are mired in minutiae and are painfully aware of the program's inadequacies. They may no longer have the perspective of what it is like to work in a system that does not have a broader framework. Indeed, a whole generation of Oregon planners has experience with only this system. Many planners are frustrated with state rule making, the role of the Land Use Board of Appeals in interpreting requirements, and other detailed legal processes so clearly described by Ed Sullivan. In their minds, these technicalities put proactive planning on the back burner. It is valuable to note as context that a legalistic orientation to plan- fling and regulation reflects the strength of the environmental protection movement. As Vogel (1985) has argued more generally for the United States, the environmental movement has typically sought highly detailed rules and has leaned heavily on the courts to counterbalance the perceived power of development interests at the local level. In the case of Oregon land use planning, the advocacy group 1000 Friends of Oregon has con- tinually pressed for vigilant enforcement of strong statewide regulations. As Gerrit Knaap notes, however, the program provides the framework for the ongoing resolution of challenges. Carl Abbott's ideas regarding the culture of planning suggest that underlying support for Oregon's approach to public policy making is strong and likely to continue. It is certainly true that strong leadership for the Land Conservation and De- velopment Commission itself has been drawn from all parts of the state. In addition, the state has shown flexibility by adopting an increasingly fine-grained approach in its interventions, mandating different catego- ries of actions in different areas, and even excusing some places from Intro1uctiori compliance. Sy Adler's chapter on the transportation rule describes one of the ways in which the system is being modified to respond to specific issues.James Pease's chapter on rural lands discusses the effort to develop regulations that can be adapted to different local circumstances. This willingness by the state to fine-tune planning requirements re- flects political circumstances at the local level. Portland, other \Villamette Valley cities, and other large jurisdictions have the technical and politi- cal capacity to address a wide range of planning issues. They are able to differentiate themselves and to make arguments about the varying rel- evance of state mandates to local circumstances.

    Rachel Graham. Gender Role Reinforcement in Popular Magazine Advertising. A Master’s Paper for the M.S. in L.S. degree. April, 2003. 27 pages. Advisor: Claudia J. Gollop. One month’s issue of five men’s (Details, Esquire, GQ, Maxim, and Stuff) and five women’s (Cosmopolitan, Elle, Glamour, MarieClaire, and Vogue) fashion and leisure magazines were examined for the types of products advertised. If the advertising reflected traditional gender roles, the women’s magazines would advertise products that focus on changing the self, while the men’s magazines would advertise lifestyle- enhancing products. Results showed that both the men’s and the women’s magazines had many pages of clothing and accessories advertising. The women’s magazines did contain more advertising of personal care products, and the men’s magazines contained more advertising of lifestyle products. However, the women’s magazines did contain some lifestyle products advertising, and the men’s magazines also contained some personal care products advertising, so it was not split totally across gender lines.

  • A Brief History of Civc Space in Portland Oregon Since World War II Including Origins of Café Soceity
    A Brief History of Civc Space in Portland Oregon Since World War II Including Origins of Café Soceity In post World War II Portland, Portlanders were in love with their automobiles, while civic leaders and engineers planned freeways and expressways and vacant land in the central city was paved over for parking lots. Robert Moses came to Portland in 1943 and laid out a blueprint for the future of Portland, one hatch marked with freeways and thoroughfares slicing and dicing the city into areas separated by high speed cement rivers. Freeways completed during this period, such as Interstate 5, tore through minority and poor neighborhoods, such as Albina, with little collective resistance. It was a good time to be a road engineer, a poor time if you were African American. Portland was proud of its largest mall, Lloyd Center; for a short period of time the largest mall in the country. It was a sign of progress. Teenagers spent their time driving between drive-in restaurants and drive-in movies, or cruising downtown streets to be seen. Adults spent their time at home in front of that marvelous new invention, the television, or often in private clubs. Nearly a quarter of all civic associations were temples, lodges or clubs. During this period, civic leaders in Portland took pride in early urban renewal projects such as the South Auditorium project that required the demolition of 382 buildings and the relocation of 1,573 residents and 232 businesses. The project effectively terminated one of Portland's Jewish and Eastern European enclaves, and dispersed a sizable gypsy population to the outer reaches of southeast Portland.

  • The Best Domains in Life Are Free? Freenom Partners with '.Gq' Equatorial Guinea
    The best domains in life are free? Freenom partners with ‘.gq’ Domain names Equatorial Guinea - Hogan Lovells LLP January 19 2015 A number of country-code top-level domain (ccTLD) registries offer domain name registrations free of charge. The most famous example is ‘.tk’, the ccTLD for Tokelau, a small group of Pacific islands located off the coast of New Zealand. This business model of free domain name registrations has enabled ‘.tk’ to become the largest ccTLD in terms of number of domain name registrations under management (with over 27 million registered domain names), and the second largest TLD behind ‘.com’. Boosted by this success, Freenom, the company that operates the ‘.tk’ registry, has also partnered with other ccTLDs, namely Mali (‘.ml’), Gabon (‘.ga’) and the Central African Republic (‘.cf’) in order to operate their ccTLDs on the same model of free domain name registrations. It appears that this business model holds some appeal to certain ccTLD registries, as Freenom has recently partnered with another country, Equatorial Guinea, in order to develop its ccTLD, ‘.gq’. The launch of ‘.gq’ took place on October 1 2014 according to the following schedule: l Sunrise period (giving priority to trademark holders) - October 1 to October 31 2014. l Landrush period - November 1 to November 30 2014. l General availability - from December 1 2014 onwards. There are no restrictions to register under ‘.gq’ and thus anyone can apply for any domain name. Free domain names were available only as from December 1 when general availability started. To be able to register a domain name for free, registrants need to "have a website, homepage or web page online on an existing web address or the capability of setting up [their] own website/server with content".

The thesis of this Article is that THE QUIET REVOLUTION-the work of Fred Bosselman and David Callies- was a significant influence on the Oregon program, one of a number of circumstances and personalities that coalesced in 1973 when the program was first conceived. There were other works and circumstances that also contributed to the Oregon program, but THE QUIET REVOLUTION provided direction, particularly with regard to the role of the plan, the need to protect the environment, and above all an increased role of the state in planning.
