Recommendations contained in the report of the Joint Committee on Seismic Safety of the California Legislature on the 1971 San Fernando Earthquake serve as a basis for reviewing progress in reducing seismic hazards through land use planning in California during the last twenty-five years. Progress since 1971 in the use of normal planning tools to increase seismic safety is summarized. Finally, as a statement of remaining needs, recommendations for improvement of land use planning at state and local levels, as contained in the California Seismic Safety Commission's report on the Northridge Earthquake, are presented.

AbstractStrategic land use planning in Lothian Region is administered by Lothian Regional Council while the four District Councils and the New Town Development Corporation deal with local planning issues. Lothian Regional Council's Structure Plan interprets government guidelines setting out the strategic guidance for the development of the Region which is reflected in Local Plans.The paper describes the geological input into the land-use planning system at both strategic and local levels in relation to the stability of land and minerals required by the extractive industries.

Making up a disproportionate amount of the homeless youth population, LGBTQ homeless youth face a myriad of problems from increased depression and anxiety, emotional and belonging issues; higher rates of suicide, drug and alcohol abuse; and higher rates of STI and heath problems associated with increased rates of survival sex. The findings, derived from a literature review, a review of current policies and land use planning tools in Toronto, interviews with two frontline homeless service providers and two policy workers, have brought to light areas where the profession of urban planning can contribute to reform the current system of shelter and support facilities. Through language and skills training, provincial and municipal policy on housing and homelessness, land use planning tools of zoning by-­‐laws and public consultations and the siting of facilities, and political backing, urban planning can help to aid in the provision of services for LGBTQ homeless youth.

Major Factors

State mandates and guidelines significantly influence local land use planning; however few studies have been conducted to empirically detect the gaps in sustainable environmental planning between the state and local jurisdictions. This paper analyses the California Governor's Environmental Goals and Policy Report (EGPR) and 116 local comprehensive land use plans to develop a set of measurable indicators to detect gaps in local planning efforts to incorporate state goals and policies. Descriptive results indicate that the local jurisdictions reached approximately half of the state's sustainable environmental planning goals. The major gaps existed in some region-wide, global-wide, long-term, cumulative, and strategically critical environmental elements. Regression results further highlight the major factors that significantly influenced local jurisdictions' environmental planning abilities. Six policy recommendations are provided to reduce these gaps.
