| dcterms.abstract | The Constitution of the State of Hawai‘i functions as the state’s permanent plan. In order to resolve a series of crisis that took shape from 1970 to 1978, the Constitutional Convention of 1978 arrived as a mechanism to resolve Hawai‘i’s ‘political crisis of planning.’ This thesis examines the formation of the Constitution as the state’s permanent plan through the development of two amendments which resulted as a mandate for the State of Hawai‘i’s regulation of agricultural lands and water resources. While the Constitution of 1978 set out a planning mandate for both policymakers and planners, this thesis unravels the tenuous legacy of the 1978 Constitutional Convention’s amendments, so far as their implementation was subject to the State Legislature from 1978 to 1986. The full impact of the Constitution as a planning document was hobbled at this critical stage, as demonstrated by the legacy of the legislatively mandated (1) Land Evaluation and Site Assessment Commission and (2) the Advisory Study Commission on Water Resources. Against the backdrop of the State Planning Act of 1978, the struggle to build upon the legacy of these commissions, so far as they were mandated by the Constitution, suggests that the Constitution should be re-investigated and reinvigorated as a planning tool—and effective guiding document—for the future of Hawai‘i. | |
