Book excerpt: Land use planning in America began with a concern for the efficient allocation of land, but has shifted to a concern for procedural fairness in allocating public resources, which requires increased stakeholder participation. As outlined in this policy focus report, research has shown that consensus building produces more satisfying outcomes by preparing parties to deal with their differences in the future, gain confidence in the role of government, and empower themselves and others to take greater responsibility for land use decisions that affect them.
Download or read book Mediation as a Tool to Resolve Land use Disputes written by Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation and published by . This book was released on 1997 with total page 33 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dents from the community who would mediate land-use disputes on a volunteer basis. The mediators were screened to ensure they did not belong to any groups related to the development industry or to anti-development organizations. They attended workshops where they were taught land development issues and procedures and the theory and techniques of alternative dispute resolution. Now a developer, foreseeing public resistance to a proposal, can ask the City to approve mediation to resolve the potential dispute before the proposal goes to a public hearing. Developers applying for the service pay a nominal fee of $350 - kept deliberately low to encourage its use. The initiative resulted in regulatory reform as the City had to amend its land development approval by-laws to formally include the mediation option. Other municipalities can also benefit from the Kamloops initiative, which provides a model they can follow to include mediation in their own operations.

Book excerpt: "Mediation - the process of settling disputes out of court with the aid of a neutral third party - has enjoyed remarkable success in recent years. Growing numbers of people who wish to avoid costly, traumatic legal battles increasingly seek help from professionals skilled in mediation techniques. In this new book, Jay Folberg and Alison Taylor provide such professionals with a comprehensive guide to mediation, covering everything from interviewing clients and promoting good communication to keeping records and setting fees. The authors describe diverse approaches to mediating a broad range of conflict situations, including those arising from divorces, custody and visitation decisions, family arguments, neighborhood grievances, educational controversies, environmental disputes, problems in the workplace, and many other kinds of disagreements. Drawing extensively on their combined experience in law, psychiatry, and private mediation practice, as well as on contemporary theory and research on mediation, the authors explain what mediation can do; detail specific methods and skills for effective conflict resolution; suggest ways to determine which approach is most practical for particular situations; elaborate on the training needs of mediators; and outline the procedures for setting up practice. Throughout the book, the authors provide a variety of special materials and resources to help guide the mediation process. They include charts, graphs, case studies, guidelines, and excerpts from dialogues, as well as recommended readings for mediators wishing to extend their knowledge and expertise. This book will not only be of value to mediators and those interested in becoming mediators but also to the various practitioners who use mediation techniques in their daily work"--Jacket.

Download or read book Mediation written by Freddie Strasser and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2004-12-30 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about conflict resolution through mediation, from a psychological perspective. Although written in part from the point of view of litigation, the objective is to demonstrate how an appreciation of the psychological aspects of conflict and an understanding of the emotional strategies people adopt in dispute situations can assist both lawyers and non-lawyers in resolving conflicts. The book consists of three sections- a theoretical analysis of conflict and conflict resolution; a practical, legal and experiential explanation of mediation; and thirdly a series of mock mediations, comprehensively analysed from the viewpoint of the mediator and the parties, providing tips and guidance on the dilemmas and pitfalls that mediators encounter. The book is based on three fundamental tenets: that conflict is ever present, and cannot be eliminated but can be worked with; that the attitude and stance of the mediator towards the dispute can be of significance to the outcome; and above all that the use of psychotherapeutic tools can facilitate a paradigm shift in the parties' approach to conflict. The authors demonstrate how the mediator can move parties in dispute from a position of intransigent adversity to a working alliance, and thereby achieve a 'good enough ' resolution.
