Abstract

As a result of scientific and technical progress, as well as the increasing complexity of social processes, there is a need for interdisciplinarity of knowledge, skills and competencies for individuals working in spatial planning. The process of spatial planning requires professional and scientific knowledge from various fields, some more artistically oriented and others related to sociology, engineering and technical studies, and economic and legal studies. Individuals must add to the knowledge obtained during the formal education process with new skills and competences to successfully perform their work. We conducted a survey among experts responsible for spatial planning in Slovenia, with the purpose of recognising these new skills and competences and determining their importance. The results of the survey offer insight into the various fields that experts should be familiar with, their specific competences, innate versus learned skills, and problems they deal with at the workplace. We can only expect to find successful solutions to such problems by studying them with other disciplines. Knowledge and information often emerge from peripheral fields of science that enable the formation of new expert and scientific solutions.

Models of Implementation of Spatial Plans: Theoretical Approach and Case Studies for Spatial Plans for the Special Purpose Area
Natasa Danilovic Hristic

IntechOpen eBooks, 2018

The implementation of spatial plans is the weakest link of planning; it is insufficiently theoretically explored, methodologically unpositioned and in practice only partially carried out. The main direction in considering improvements in the implementation of plans is that it must be viewed and focused by means of spatial plans in order to as much as possible reduce the impact of all those factors outside the planning system. The study points to the need for and offers the definition of a model of implementation for spatial plans rooted in the theory of planning. The elements and contents of the proposed model of implementation suggest a logical, functional and temporal coherence of all planning decisions covered by the plan. The process of implementing the plan depends directly on the type and method of planning. Four basic models of implementation are defined. The results of research on the application of the implementation model in spatial planning practice in the Republic of Serbia are presented. These are obtained on the basis of multicriteria comparative analysis carried out on a case study of 11 spatial plans. The chapter suggests possible directions for further study, primarily in terms of applying the model of implementation in practice.

Spatial planning in the US and Poland
Kristof Van Assche

The paper presents spatial planning system currently mandatory in Poland, as well as main changes concerning the principles of spatial planning and man- agement in Poland after the system transformation. The work addresses particu- larly the issues of de-centralization of public administration and establishing commune self-governments, socialization of spatial planning, protection of private property and also the obligation to consider appropriate instruments of natural protection in the process of spatial planning and management. The paper presents also the basic principles of spatial planning in the United States of America and points out the similarities and differences between the methods, procedures and as- sumptions of spatial planning systems in both countries. The work presents poten- tial areas of cooperation between both universities comprising sharing knowledge and exchanging experiences in the filed of spatial planning and management.

COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF ELEMENTS AND MODELS OF IMPLEMENTATION IN LOCAL-LEVEL SPATIAL PLANS IN SERBIA
Natasa Danilovic Hristic

Implementation of local-level spatial plans is of paramount importance to the development of the local community. This paper aims to demonstrate the importance of and offer further directions for research into the implementation of spatial plans by presenting the results of a study on models of implementation. The paper describes the basic theoretical postulates of a model for implementing spatial plans. A comparative analysis of the application of elements and models of implementation of plans in practice was conducted based on the spatial plans for the local municipalities of Arilje, Lazarevac and Sremska Mitrovica. The analysis includes four models of implementation: the strategy and policy of spatial development; spatial protection; the implementation of planning solutions of a technical nature; and the implementation of rules of use, arrangement and construction of spaces. The main results of the analysis are presented and used to give recommendations for improving the elements and models of implementation. Final deliberations show that models of implementation are generally used in practice and combined in spatial plans. Based on the analysis of how models of implementation are applied in practice, a general conclusion concerning the complex character of the local level of planning is presented and elaborated.

Spatial planning – evolution of the system (1899–2017)
Lidia Piotrowska

2018

Spatial planning and management are aimed at ensuring proper development of individual regions of a country, taking into account their mutual relations and interests. The goal of spatial planning and management is to establish the purpose and the way of using land for individual regions and for the specific purpose. However, ensuring of the above may cause difficulties and, in some cases, trigger off conflicts. A system of spatial planning and management was subject to many changes, in order to, for instance, reduce some spatial problems and conflicts. This article presents its evolution, starting in 1946, and referring to legal acts from the previous years.

Spatial planning as large-scale practical project: the problem of effective governance
Pieter Saey

Belgeo, 2002

Spatial) planning is a form of methodical decision-making rather than the preparation of sound decisions, as was contended for a long time (Houthaeve, 1999, pp. 95-122). I take this to be a clear answer to the question asked by Kreukels back in 1980, whether steering of reality is a derivative of the stipulations of a plan, or, on the other hand, whether formation of plans is a derivative of the necessity of decision-making on the matters concerned (Kreukels, 1980, pp. 54-57). It is not only the answer implied in the decisioncentred view on planning, it is also the answer of planning theory after its communicative or linguistic turn. Healey says it plainly: planning in general is a kind of policy-driven style of governance (Healey, 1997, pp. 213-219). In this statement, governance refers to a general process, the management of collective affairs (ibid., p. 211). But governance has a more specific meaning as well: multi-scalar networked governance as opposed to hierarchical government. In this sense it applies to (spatial) planning. It captures the shift from planning as a purely rational enterprise to planning as a social practice, or, using the terms coined by Van der Valk (1989) and elucidated by Wallagh (1990), the shift from technocratic to sociocratic planning. This development has eventually led to Healey's collaborative planning, which presents itself as a kind of networked governance explicitly aimed at the promotion of democracy. Considered from this point of view, collaborative planning appears as the culmination of a certain line of development in planning theory and planning practice, characterized by the systematic enlargement of what Zonneveld (1991) has called the planning community. However, Houthaeve (1999, p. 161) notices a striking resemblance between Healey's ideas and the ideas of Saey (1995a, b), who, by an entirely different way, arrived at a similar plea to Spatial planning as large-scale practical project: the problem of effective g...

The Role of Spatial Plans Adopted at the Local Level in the Spatial Planning Systems of Central and Eastern European Countries
Roman Lozynskyy

Land

The article deals with the issue of spatial plans at the local level. The aims of this paper are (1) extracting the characteristics of local spatial plans that can be compared more broadly (2) identifying, on this basis, the role of spatial plans at the local level in the countries of Central and Eastern Europe (CEE). In achieving these aims, the authors have critically examined spatial plans and their performance, as well as the planning systems they belong to. Hence, they have investigated the types of local plans in each country, their legal features, and the layout of their content. This examination has revealed a host of problems in the workings of the CEE planning systems. The article highlights those spatial planning issues that could be the subject of more in-depth international comparisons. The study provides additional evidence that in countries where spatial plans are legislated, there are more (mutually differentiated) legal problems in their application. Such problems h...

The Origins of Spatial Planning Spatial planning refers in short to "the methods used by the public sector to influence the distribution of resources and activities in spaces of various types and scales". Spatial planning includes all levels of land use planning, that is urban and rural planning, regional planning, environmental planning, national spatial plans, and planning on international levels. There are numerous definitions of spatial planning. One of the earliest comes from the European Regional/ Spatial Planning Charter (often called the 'Torremolinos Charter'), adopted in 1983 by the European Conference of Ministers responsible for Regional Planning (CEMAT). It reads Regional/spatial planning gives geographical expression to the economic, social, cultural and ecological policies of society. It is at the same time a scientific discipline, an administrative technique and a policy developed as an interdisciplinary and comprehensive approach directed towards a balanced regional development and the physical organisation of space according to an overall strategy. This definition sets spatial planning in a broad and interdisciplinary context. Spatial planning challenges in this way the understanding of planning focusing merely on land-use planning and on blueprints. Indeed, spatial planning includes strategy building and is closely intertwined with regional and environmental policies. Even the term European spatial planning is ambiguous and probably best understood as territorial policy-making on European level. Developing Methods and Tools of Spatial Planning in Europe Numerous planning systems exist around the world. Especially in Northwestern Europe spatial planning has evolved greatly since the time after the Second World War. In 1999, the European Spatial Development Perspective (ESDP) was signed by the ministers responsible for regional planning in the EU member states at a meeting in Potsdam, Germany. Although the ESDP has no binding status, as the European Union has no formal authority for spatial planning, the ESDP has influenced spatial planning policy in European regions and member states, and placed the coordination of EU sectoral policies on the political agenda, as ESDP provides the possibility of widening the horizon beyond solely sectoral policy measures.

Exploring urban facilities management approaches to increase connectivity in smart cities
Carmel Lindkvist

Facilities, 2020

Purpose: The aim is to explore how the discipline Facilities Management (FM) can be developed in a smart city perspective through considering the current and new FM services under the role of Urban FM as well as governance structures that limit and enable it. Design/methodology/approach: The approach is primarily theoretical by examining current literature around the ideas of Urban FM and Smart Cities linking them to observations in one city aiming to be a Smart City. This specific paper focuses on maintenance management, workspace management, and energy management services in a Smart City perspective. Findings: The results outline how Urban FM can fill the gaps that are apparent in city planning through connectivity to communities and neighbourhoods using the Smart City approaches of optimising data but also considers prominent governance structures of FM, Urban FM, City Planning and Smart Cities. The study addresses the limitations of what can be done when cities are not organisations, which make identifying the "core business" obscure and intangible but attempts to overcome this limitation by considering social value in communities and wider linkages to the city environment. Research implications/limitation: The paper sets out the potential of Urban FM in Smart Cities, but the findings are limited to primarily theoretical research and need further empirical examination. Practical implications: The results indicate how facilities management can improve services in cities through the digitalization of cities and the role of Urban FM. The study will be useful for municipalities in examining how to improve facilities, particularly in cities that aspire to be a Smart City and it is also important for policy makers in considering governance structures to meet Sustainable Development Goals.
