Duane, Tim
Submitted by cmjones on March 16, 2007 - 1:12pm.Name of Person:

Department:
Landscape Architecture and Environmental Planning, Associate Professor
Research Interests:
Land use and natural resources law, landscape-scale conservation strategies and the relationship between public land and resource management efforts and private land conservation in western North America, growth management and rural land use planning, methods for incorporating environmental factors into infrastructure systems planning, and improving the economic efficiency of environmental law and regulation.
Achievements:
Duane teaches environmental planning and policy, infrastructure planning, environmental impacts of energy systems, land use planning, environmentally sustainable community development, and the impacts of urban development on fragile natural systems. He is particularly interested in how institutional structures can be modified to address competing social values. He is therefore studying law and legal institutions in greater detail, since they dominate decision-making in the modern administrative state. His primary institutional focus is domestic, but has also worked in or traveled in over thirty countries and has supervised graduate students in over a dozen other countries. He has published on a wide variety of topics from electricity regulation in California to community participation in ecosystems management.
Theories of Landscape Architecture and Environmental Planning

Course Number:
251
Course Title:
Theories of Landscape Architecture and Environmental Planning
Instructor:
Mozingo/Southworth
Description:
The focus will be on debate and
discussion of central ideas in landscape architecture and environmental planning, drawing on primary literature over many decades of
thought. This is not a history course, but it will include some literature
that goes back to the early years of the field. This course covers the
breadth of thinking in the field, including both environmental planning and landscape design as well as other sub
disciplines. Each week students will lead a debate on a different theoretical
issue.

Course Number:
C237
Course Title:
The Process of Environmental Planning
Instructor:
Duane
Description:
A review of the techniques used
in environmental planning,
and evaluation of alternate means of implementation in varying environmental and political
circumstances. The class will examine and critique a number of well-known environmental planning programs and
plans. Lectures and discussion will address recurrent planning problems, such
as the limitations of available data, legal and political constraints on
plans, conflicts among specialists

Course Title:
Advanced Seminar in Land Use and Environmental Planning
Description:
An advanced investigation of
current problems in land use and environmental management, with a focus on the development of proposed
policy responses and implementation strategies. Topics will vary from year to
year. Likely topics include: the regulation of sensitive lands; environmental impact assessment;
the regulation of design; supra-local land use controls; water resources law

Course Title:
Environmental Planning and Regulation
Instructor:
Duane
Description:
This course will examine
emerging trends in environmental
planning and policy and the basic regulatory framework for environmental planning encountered
in the U.S. We will also relate the institutional and policy framework of
California and the United States to other nations and emerging international
institutions. The emphasis of the course will be on regulating
"residuals" as they affect three media: air, water, and land
