Collection summary: Program and video recordings of a symposium entitled, “After the Land-Use Commission, What?”
Organizational history:
As the joint federal-state Land Use Planning Commission for Alaska implemented the provisions of the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act of 1971, a debate developed over the coordination of management systems for land use. The Southcentral Alaska Chapter of the American Society for Public Administration sponsored a symposium, entitled “After the Land-Use Commission, What?,” in an attempt to establish a dialogue on setting up a coordinated management system between federal, state, and local government, and private landowners. The symposium was supported in part by the Alaska Humanities Forum and the University of Alaska, Anchorage. It was held in the Anchorage Higher Education Consortium Library on February 18-20, 1974.
Collection description:
This collection consists of the symposium program and twelve recordings of introductory remarks and panel proceedings. The discussion panels were: watershed management, fish and game management, recreation management, natural resource management, relating use philosophies to management, and legal barriers to cooperative management. The symposium included other keynote speeches which are reflected in the program but which were not included in the videotape.
