“…Among these the government signed an "umbrella agreement" (Heskem Gag in Hebrew) with local authorities to quickly increase the supply of housing units; establishing the National Housing Committee to accelerate planning procedures; setting up the Urban Renewal Authority to address urban renewal development, both nationally and locally; and granting rights to build on publicly owned lands to developers so as to lower the price of housing units as part of Target Price and Resident's Price programs. It should be note, that in Israel, 93% of the lands are nationally owned [67,68].…”

Bills, Rights and Housing Policy: The Evolution of Israel’s Seven-Decade Housing-Related Bills

How do bills contribute to the promotion of housing rights? Is there a relation between the content of proposed bills and a country’s dominant political economy? Are changes in the political-economic regime reflected in housing-related bills? What type of bill is most likely to be enacted: a provision or a protection? These are the challenge of this study. The analysis is based on the theoretical classic distinction between “provisions” (positive rights) and “protections” (negative rights) from the realm of human rights, producing an empirical cumulative-aggregative analysis, which examines the scope and content of housing-related bills in the Israeli parliament since its establishment in 1948, until today. The research findings are counterintuitive, challenging the understanding that welfare regimes encourage extensive provisions, as opposed to neoliberal regimes that promote extensive protections. Given the current global housing affordability crisis, the research findings are relevant to many countries, parliaments, and organizations that are currently seeking to promote various housing rights.

“…The original bill places no limitation or restriction on the amount of land to be transferred or the timing of such transfers. But the bill that was enacted limits the amount to 800,000 dunams (as opposed to 200,000 dunams prior to the reform) and specifies the transfer of 400,000 dunams over the course of 5 years and an equivalent amount in the succeeding 5 years (Hananel, ).…”

“…This change could have both qualitative and quantitative effects on the relationship between agricultural and urban land in Israel, because since the 1990s the vast majority of employment areas in Israel have been built on agricultural land (Hananel, ). An analysis of the rationale and the implications of this fundamental change are beyond the scope of this study and require a separate and thorough study (Hananel, )…”

Land policy and land-use planning policy are two types of public policy pertaining to space. In general, land-use planning policy deals with land-use allocation and property rights, whereas land policy defines the land regime of a society. These differences have shaped a unique discourse for each of these policy types. The purpose of this article is to examine the differences and similarities between the land discourse and the planning discourse by analyzing two public campaigns conducted in Israel against two proposed reforms: the 2009 reform of the Israel Land Administration and the 2010-12 reform of the Planning and Building Law. The findings reveal substantive differences between the two campaigns, manifested in the nature of the leading players, the types of public activities they chose, and most notably in the discourses and the hierarchy of considerations they addressed. The findings raise profound questions regarding universal trends in spatial policy reforms; their influence on the activities of public coalitions and the discourses they adopted; possible future effects of these trends on the differences between the land discourse and the planning discourse; and the impact of these trends on the ability of groups and individuals elsewhere to influence spatial policies (such as planning and land policies).

“…Subsequent migration of young people from the rural to the urban space left an increasingly aging population in these villages (Sofer and Applebaum, 2006 ). This decision as part of the economic recovery plan allowed agricultural communities to benefit from changing the designation of the land from agriculture to construction, enabling farmers to cover, at least in part, the debts they had accumulated (Hananel, 2012 ).…”

Open-space design in kibbutz expansion neighborhoods as a tool for redefining social capital in the community

This article examines the impact of open space planning on relations and cooperation between locals and new immigrants in rural settlements. In recent years kibbutz settlements have transformed agricultural land into residential neighborhoods for migration of previously urban populations. We examined the relationship between residents and newcomers to the village, and the effect that planning a new neighborhood adjacent to the kibbutz has on creating motivation for veteran members and new residents to meet and build common social capital. We offer a method of analyzing planning maps of the open spaces between the original kibbutz settlement and the adjacent new expansion neighborhood. Analysis of 67 planning maps led us to define three types of demarcation between the existing settlement and the new neighborhood; we present each type and its components and offer their significance in the development of the relationship between veteran and new residents. The active involvement and partnership of the kibbutz members in deciding the location and the appearance of the neighborhood about to be built allowed them to determine the nature of the relations that would be forged between the veteran residents and the newcomers.
