  • 2017 – 2018 Judiciary History Center Annual Report
    King Kamehameha V Judiciary History Center 2017-2018 Annual Report Statue of Kamehameha I King Kamehameha V Lot Kapuāiwa, grandson of Kamehameha I, ascended the throne in 1863 and was the last Kamehameha to rule the Kingdom of Hawai‘i. As a national leader, Lot made foreign relations and the preservation of independence his primary objectives. His advocacy for Hawaiians inspired a cultural renaissance which included the revival of hula and chant and licensing of medical kāhuna to practice their healing arts. During his reign, Lot commissioned a number of public works including the construction of Ali‘iōlani Hale. In 2000, the Judiciary History Center was renamed to the King Kamehameha V Judiciary History Center in his honor. History of Ali‘iōlani Hale Historic Ali‘iōlani Hale provides the ideal environment for the Judiciary History Center. Initiated during the reign of Kamehameha V and completed during the reign of Kalākaua, Ali‘iōlani Hale opened its doors in 1874. The Legislature and the Supreme Court of the Kingdom of Hawai‘i were the original occupants of the building. After the overthrow of the Monarchy in 1893, the Legislature moved to ‘Iolani Palace. Ali‘iōlani Hale has remained the home of the Supreme Court for well over 100 years. The National Museum, the first museum in Hawai‘i, opened in Ali‘iōlani Hale in 1874. For many years, the National Museum occupied rooms on the second floor and welcomed visitors to view its fine collection of Hawaiian artifacts. In 1898, the Republic of Hawaiʻi's government transferred ownership of the collection to the Bishop Museum.

Being that land allocations, and subsequent zoning is created by a combination of Hawaiʻi State Land Use designations, and the Hawaiʻi County General Plan, this thesis addresses preservation and restoration of a region’s natural and cultural resources, and sense of place from a planning approach. In order to incorporate both cultural and environmental resources into an integrated plan, that also accounts for community input, I combine a cultural landscape approach with geographic information systems (GIS) to produce a Heritage Landscape Resource Inventory Model.
