Containing some of the most recent and original studies on parking
regulation and management from different disciplines, this book
offers rigorous analysis from top researchers with a clear
intention to deliver policy implications and provide information to
the public. The book is organized according to a variety of key
topics. Among others, it covers the interaction of parking with
other modes of transportation and its demand, its pricing and
external effects, the role of information and digitalization, and
the effects of regulation and its enforcement. Also, it includes
the views of practitioners, who discuss present parking in cities
and the future of its management. Written primarily for scholars
interested in transportation, mobility, planning and urban affairs,
this book is also directly relevant to practitioners and
policymakers in government with responsibilities in mobility.
Additionally, the book will be of interest to the private sector as
it offers a practical link between rigorous academic analyses and
the needs of practitioners.
Navajo peacemaking is one of the most renowned restorative justice
programs in the world. Neither mediation nor alternative dispute
resolution, it has been called a "horizontal system of justice"
because all participants are treated as equals with the purpose of
preserving ongoing relationships and restoring harmony among
involved parties. In peacemaking there is no coercion, and there
are no "sides." No one is labeled the offender or the victim, the
plaintiff or the defendant. This is a book about peacemaking as it
exists in the Navajo Nation today, describing its origins, history,
context, and contributions with an eye toward sharing knowledge
between Navajo and European-based criminal justice systems. It
provides practitioners with information about important aspects of
peacemaking--such as structure, procedures, and outcomes--that will
be useful for them as they work with the Navajo courts and the
peacemakers. It also offers outsiders the first one-volume overview
of this traditional form of justice. The collection comprises
insights of individuals who have served within the Navajo Judicial
Branch, voices that authoritatively reflect peacemaking from an
insider's point of view. It also features an article by Justice
Sandra Day O'Connor and includes contributions from other scholars
who, with the cooperation of the Navajo Nation, have worked to
bring a comparative perspective to peacemaking research. In
addition, some chapters describe the personal journey through which
peacemaking takes the parties in a dispute, demonstrating that its
purpose is not to fulfill some abstract notion of Justice but to
restore harmony so that the participants are returned to good
relations. "Navajo Nation Peacemaking" seeks to promote both
peacemaking and Navajo common law development. By establishing the
foundations of the Navajo way of natural justice and offering a
vision for its future, it shows that there are many lessons offered
by Navajo peacemaking for those who want to approach old problems
in sensible new ways.
