The study assessed the impacts of Palestinian urban development on local Palestinian communities and land use in addition to assessing the effects of Israeli colonization activities on Palestinian urban development, and aimed to make accurate projections of possible future trends of urban expansion. The division of Palestinian lands has produced two different and parallel planning schemes: one Israeli, to serve the Israeli colonists living in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, and the other Palestinian, to serve the Palestinian people.Item Between state and tribe : the rule of law and dispute resolution in post - Oslo Palestine; first interim technical report, Dec. 22, 2003 - June 22, 2004(Institute of Law, Birzeit University, West Bank, PS, 2004) Birzeit University, Institute of Law; Kassis, M.; Fares, S.; Khalidi, D.; Taraki, L.; Hilal, J.The research proposes ways to strengthen rule of law by ascertaining relationships between formal and informal justice systems in the field of criminal law, and then formulating policy recommendations based on findings of the research, regarding how these two potentially conflicting systems can be reconciled in a future Palestinian judiciary. The plurality of the Palestinian legal culture, encompassing laws of myriad political regimes, religious authorities and various methods of informal dispute resolution, has resulted in a fluidity of authorities wherein responsibilities are blurred, and due process and justice are not always respected.
