Plan establishes a long‐term vision for land use and infrastructure in southern New Castle County (NCC) based on sound planning principles and public input. The plan informs development, preservation, infrastructure, and policy decisions in the study area (described in the next paragraph). The findings and recommendations from this plan will be incorporated into the New Castle County Comprehensive Development Plan (2012 Update) and subsequently carried forward into the 2022 New Castle County Comprehensive Development Plan. The results of this plan will also be used to inform the Wilmington Area Planning Council (WILMAPCO) Regional Transportation Plan and the Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT) Capital Transportation Program. The southern New Castle County planning area is composed of the area south of the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal, amounting to roughly 40 percent of the total land area in the county and 11 percent of the population. The study area includes the incorporated towns of Middletown, Odessa, and Townsend (MOT) which are located fully within New Castle County. Small portions of Smyrna and Clayton are also located within the county. Outreach and Planning Process The Southern New Castle County Master Plan was informed by an extensive public engagement process that included four in‐person public workshops, two virtual workshops, social media promotion, a highly interactive online survey, and an Advisory Committee comprised of public and private stakeholders that included civic and other community associations, state and local agencies, elected officials and business owners who all guided the entire process. A list of Advisory Committee member organizations and a summary of the public outreach process is included below: ADVISORY COMMITTEE REPRESENTATIVES DE State Senator Stephanie Hansen Blackbird State Forest Southern NCC Residents DE State Senator Nicole Poore Town of Middletown MOT Chamber of Commerce DE State Senator Bruce Ennis Town of Odessa Christiana Care DE State Representative Quinton Johnson Town of Smyrna Clifton L.

Since only about 27% of the variability in the odds of using CAM can be explained by the model, further studies investigating other predictors of use are recommended.

  • Defining Shariʿa the Politics of Islamic Judicial Review by Shoaib
    Defining Shariʿa The Politics of Islamic Judicial Review By Shoaib A. Ghias A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the Requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Jurisprudence and Social Policy in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in Charge: Professor Malcolm M. Feeley, Chair Professor Martin M. Shapiro Professor Asad Q. Ahmed Summer 2015 Defining Shariʿa The Politics of Islamic Judicial Review © 2015 By Shoaib A. Ghias Abstract Defining Shariʿa: The Politics of Islamic Judicial Review by Shoaib A. Ghias Doctor of Philosophy in Jurisprudence and Social Policy University of California, Berkeley Professor Malcolm M. Feeley, Chair Since the Islamic resurgence of the 1970s, many Muslim postcolonial countries have established and empowered constitutional courts to declare laws conflicting with shariʿa as unconstitutional. The central question explored in this dissertation is whether and to what extent constitutional doctrine developed in shariʿa review is contingent on the ruling regime or represents lasting trends in interpretations of shariʿa. Using the case of Pakistan, this dissertation contends that the long-term discursive trends in shariʿa are determined in the religio-political space and only reflected in state law through the interaction of shariʿa politics, regime politics, and judicial politics. The research is based on materials gathered during fieldwork in Pakistan and datasets of Federal Shariat Court and Supreme Court cases and judges. In particular, the dissertation offers a political-institutional framework to study shariʿa review in a British postcolonial court system through exploring the role of professional and scholar judges, the discretion of the chief justice, the system of judicial appointments and tenure, and the political structure of appeal that combine to make courts agents of the political regime.

  • Local Elections in Iran
    AN INTRODUCTORY PRIMER ON Local Elections in Iran Structure of Local Government Local institutions resemble national ones in their dual nature. At almost every level of government, there are appointed, administrative councils headed by representatives of the central government. These institutions represent the top down hierarchy on the provincial, county, district, city and village level. There is also a parallel bottom up hierarchy of elected officials and councils, with local and village councils at its base. Village and city councils are the only local institutions whose members are directly elected. Once village councils are elected, councilors nominate members from their ranks to represent their village at district, or bakhsh, councils. Once bakhsh councils are formed, they nominate members to represent their bakhsh at county councils, and so on until the Supreme Council of the Provinces. The bottom-up, elected councils tend to play supervisory and consultative roles rather than legislative ones. City councils elect mayors, approve municipal budgets and supervise their implementation. They approve all city planning and development decisions. Conversely to elected bodies, central government and executive functions are largely managed through a top-down process of appointed heads of councils with the bulk of authority, although mayors are chosen by councils themselves. Mayors are in charge of implementing directives from city councils. They are nominated by the councils and approved by the Ministry of Interior, and serve as heads of the municipal administrations for four-year terms. The Ministry of the Interior also appoints the ostandars, who appoint the farmandars in their province with the Ministry’s approval and so on.

Alzahrani 3 and Mohammad S. Alsoufi 4 1 Civil Engineering Department, College of Engineering and Islamic Architecture, Umm Al-Qura University, Makkah 21955, Saudi Arabia 2 Engineering Faculty, Department of Environmental Engineering, Istanbul University-Cerrahpasa, Avcilar, Istanbul 34320, Turkey; [email protected] 3 Industrial Engineering Department, Al-Qunfudhah Engineering College, Umm Al-Qura University, Makkah 21955, Saudi Arabia; [email protected] 4 Mechanical Engineering Department, College of Engineering and Islamic Architecture, Umm Al-Qura University, Makkah 21955, Saudi Arabia; mssoufi@uqu.edu.sa * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: In many countries, open dumping is considered the simplest, cheapest, and most cost- effective way of managing solid wastes. Thus, in underdeveloped economies, Municipal Solid Wastes (MSW) are openly dumped. Improper waste disposal causes air, water, and soil pollution, impairing soil permeability and blockage of the drainage system. Solid Waste Management (SWM) can be enhanced by operating a well-engineered site with the capacity to reduce, reuse, and recover MSW. Makkah city is one of the holiest cities in the world. It harbors a dozen of holy places. Millions of people across the globe visit the place every year to perform Hajj, Umrah, and tourism. In the present study, MSW characterization and energy recovery from MSW of Makkah was determined. The average composition of solid waste in Makkah city is organic matter (48%), plastics (25%), paper and cardboard (20%), metals (4%), glass (2%), textiles (1%), and wood (1%).
