Infant safe havens J. Policy Anal. Manag. (IF 3.917) Pub Date : 2024-03-16 Lindsey Rose Bullinger
I estimate whether the ability to anonymously surrender an infant to a safe haven site such as a hospital, police station, or fire station in the United States affects child well‐being. By analyzing variation in state safe haven policies, I find safe haven laws significantly increase infant foster care entrance. I further find suggestive evidence of safe havens reducing infant deaths. The mortality

Cadastral surveying involves the delineation of property boundaries and the extent and documentation of easements and restrictions (imposed by private or public law), forming the foundation for Land Administration (LA). Survey models and processes constitute vital parts of Cadastres and Land Administration Systems (LASs). However, these models are often inadequately documented and lack standardization

Land to the landless: Does the type of approach matter? Land Use Policy (IF 6.189) Pub Date : 2024-03-13 Inoussa Boubacar, Gibson Nene
Uncertainty about land ownership is believed to increase vulnerability of marginalized groups in a society. When agriculture is not only responsible for employing more than half of the labor force population but also the main source of the livelihood of poor families, access to land becomes critical. This paper conducts a comprehensive analysis of the impact of land reform on agricultural output in

Convivial fences? Property, ‘right to wildlife’ and the need for redistributive justice in South African conservation Land Use Policy (IF 6.189) Pub Date : 2024-03-13 Bram Büscher, Lerato Thakholi
In South Africa, fences are ubiquitous. From urban centers to rural landscapes, myriad fences divide properties, fortify estates, and protect private interests. In biodiversity conservation, likewise, fences are instrumental in legally assigning property rights over wildlife. They are furthermore deemed necessary to avoid human-wildlife conflict, save human and animal lives and, most of all, safeguard

Informal green spaces (IGS) are the overlooked and unplanned green spaces in our cities. They have been shown provide a potentially important social and ecological green space asset through contributing to ecological habitat and connectivity, as well as green space accessibility for urban residents. Despite their potential value to urban social-ecological systems, IGS are often overlooked and forgotten

Frontline employees' responses to citizens' communication of administrative burdens Public Administration Review (IF 8.144) Pub Date : 2024-03-06 Aske Halling, Niels Bjørn Grund Petersen
The literature on administrative burdens demonstrates that citizens may experience different kinds of administrative burdens when interacting with the state. However, we know little about whether citizens' communication of these experiences affects how frontline employees implement compliance demands. Building on the street‐level bureaucracy and administrative burden literature, we hypothesize that

Gender diversity in leadership positions may not always bring desirable outcomes for an organization as diversity researchers have argued. Female leaders are less likely to contribute to effectiveness of their organization when it is male‐dominated and has strong masculine culture. We tested a nonlinear relationship between gender diversity at the top and organizational performance and the moderating

Ecological footprints have been assessed widely from a resource production-consumption perspective but much less from a land use availability-demand standpoint. The later view is key to land use policy because it sheds light on the need of changing or adapting uses to get a balance between those of ecological (e.g., forests, riparian wetlands) and those of socioeconomic (e.g., cropland) value. Thus
