Investigation of potential land value tax policy - options for Scotland
Get PDFThe University of Reading has been appointed by the Scottish Land Commission (SLC) to conduct
research to assess, with reference to international experience, the potential of land value taxation to
contribute to a more productive, accountable and diverse pattern of land ownership and use in
Scotland and to identify a set of potential policy options that merit further consideration by the SLC.
The current research is part of a broader agenda to reform the system of land ownership and the
functioning of the land market in Scotland, and to reshape the role of the public sector in taking a
more proactive stance in delivering development in the public interest. Adjustments in the
mechanisms for land and property taxation will be an essential piece of the puzzle in delivering this
vision
INDIGENOUS LAND TENURE AND LAND USE IN ALASKA: COMMUNITY IMPACTS OF THE ALASKA NATIVE CLAIMS SETTLEMENT ACT
Get PDFThrough the utilization of qualitative methods such as archival analysis, semi-structured interviewing, comparative and extended case studies, and observation, this paper closely examines two related Alaska Native communities. Our purpose is to document the impact of the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act of 1971 (ANCSA) on land tenure, land use, and community structure. In all, 41 interviews were conducted, focusing on the following issues: (1) the role of the tribal government in relation to the regional and village corporate structure; (2) the recent changes in traditional land uses; and (3) how group decisions are made regarding land management and distribution of resources. By locating ANCSA within a broader context of economic, political, and cultural globalization that seeks to substitute traditional collective rights in land with individual tenure in a "free market" economy, the findings of this research may carefully and cautiously be applied beyond North America to other indigenous-state struggles regarding control of land and resources.United States. -- [Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act], Indians of North America -- Legal status, laws, etc. -- Alaska, Land tenure -- Law and legislation -- Alaska, Indians of North America -- Alaska -- Claims, Indians of North America -- Land tenure -- Alaska, Indians of North America -- Alaska -- Government relations -- History, Land Economics/Use,
