The article discusses several aspects of spatial planning systems in Poland and in Italy. The analysis included the legal basis for the functioning of both systems, planning levels and documents developed at each level. The planning status of both countries is presented based on the statistical data obtained. This is shown on the cartodiagrams prepared with the use of ArcGIS and QGIS software as well as tabular lists containing statistical data. Detailed research was also done as a case study for two cities: Olsztyn in Poland and Bari in Italy. The data collected and the analyses carried out made it possible to compare the planning systems in both countries tested. The results show similarities and differences, as well as the positive and negative features of both analyzed systems. Conclusions can be used as a basis for proposing changes to the planning systems in both countries, based on good practices from the other country.

ABSTRACT Developing the role of research in agrarian, spatial planning, and land policies requires qualified human resources in their fields. HR Researcher and Policy Analyst (HR P and AK) as the “pioneer” in providing recommendations for policy development by the Center for Development and Standardization of Agrarian, Spatial, and Land Policy (PPSK-ATP) at the the Ministry of Agrarian Affairs and Spatial Planning/National Land Agency (Ministry of ATR/BPN). However, the recommendations could not be able to be carried out efficiently due to the limitations of human resources. The purpose of this study is to describe the importance of human resource availability as a researcher to carry out the task of research and analysis to formulate the suitable policy for the Ministry of ATR/BPN. The methode was conducted to investigate existing documents related to the existence of PPSK-ATP in carrying out their duties and activities as a work unit that develops and evaluates agrarian, spatial planning, and land policies. The findings of this study show that PPSK-ATP has to take various initiatives to strengthen the role of evaluation in policy making, including: conduct out the hiring process in accordance with the required credentials, focused on capacity building in accordance with their fields, establish an environment that is conducive to learning. Keywords: Research, Human Resources, Policy ABSTRAK Peningkatan peranan pengkajian dalam kebijakan agraria, tata ruang dan pertanahan membutuhkan sumber daya manusia yang unggul di bidang pengkajian. SDM Peneliti dan Analis Kebijakan (SDM P dan AK) adalah “ujung-tombak” pada Pusat pengembangan dan Standarisasi Kebijakan Agraria, Tata Ruang dan Pertanahan (PPSK-ATP) dalam menyusun rekomendasi perumusan kebijakan Kementerian Agraria dan Tata Ruang/Badan Pertanahan Nasional. Namun, hal itu belum dapat diperankan dengan efektif mengingat berbagai keterbatasan yang melekat di dalamnya, seperti sumber daya manusia yang masih sangat terbatas. Tulisan ini bertujuan mendeskripsikan urgensi ketersediaan SDM Pengkajian untuk dapat mengemban tugas pengkajian (penelitian dan kajian) yang berkualitas dalam menghasilkan rekomendasi kebijakan yang efektif di Kementerian ATR/BPN. Metode dilakukan dengan menganalisis dokumen yang pernah ada berkaitan dengan eksistensi PPSK-ATP dalam melaksanakan tugas dan fungsinya sebagai unit kerja yang melakukan pengembangan dan pengkajian kebijakan agraria, tata ruang, dan pertanahan. Hasil telaah menunjukkan bahwa terdapat beberapa langkah yang perlu dilakukan PPSK-ATP untuk meningkatkan peran pengkajian dalam perumusan kebijakan yaitu rekruitmen yang serius, peningkatan kapasitas yang fokus, dan menciptakan atmosfir pengkajian yang kondusif.

The interactions between land and sea are fundamental to human wellbeing. Within Europe, the 2014 Directive establishing a framework for maritime spatial planning (MSP Directive), which requires EU coastal member states to have marine spatial plans in place by 2021, also requires that MSP authorities should explicitly take into account land-sea interactions. This has stimulated a new phase of investigation into land-sea interactions in Europe. This paper aims to contribute to marine and coastal planning debates by reflecting on one of these investigations, the Maritime Spatial Planning and Land Sea Interactions (MSP-LSI) project. The paper starts by providing a historical overview of the growing attention being paid to LSI within the context of European policy making. This sets the context for the MSP-LSI project and the approach to exploring land-sea interactions it developed is outlined. The paper then uses examples from the project’s case study investigations to highlight and illustrate some of the wider insights the project revealed, both in relation to the extensive spatial footprint associated with selected maritime sectors and how marine space is being shaped by, and contributing to landward activity and governance agendas. It concludes by presenting a case not only for adopting a ‘one space’ perspective in MSP, but in territorial spatial planning and management regimes more generally.

AbstractMarine spatial planning (MSP) now has a sufficient history for consideration of the way in which MSP processes are developing over time, gaining experience and responding to issues that arise. Rather than setting a study of this kind in the well-established framework of adaptive management, I choose instead a spatial concept that allows planning action to be more closely meshed with the nature of the marine setting itself, that of Deleuze and Guatarri’s notion of striated and smooth spaces. This suggests that there are two different manners in which space is produced, which are interdependent and interchanging and work together in making progress; this has certain resonances with the materiality of the sea. I use this concept in a reading of an MSP process with a relatively long pedigree, that of the Shetland Islands, Scotland, UK, focusing particularly on the development of aquaculture policy, through analysis of a sequence of documents. The study reveals that policy-making is suffused with striated and smooth spatialities, finding expression on the one hand in development criteria and other regulations, and on the other hand, in discretion, negotiation and opportunity-building, with the two yielding to each other and advancing together with their different types of movement. This suggests a more general manner by which MSP processes may progress, by spatial dialectic of this kind, in which those who practice MSP engage through their own reasoning of the natural and human structures and dynamisms of the coasts and seas and their responsive plan-making.

Mineral deposits are essential for the economic, technological and social development. However, to enable them to play an appropriate role in the process of sustainable development, they need to be safeguarded in a comprehensive and systemic manner in the same measure as other elements of the environment. The practice of securing access to areas where the mineral deposits can be found is based on the statement that they can be extracted only in places where they occur. This fact defines the type and scope of instruments for safeguarding prospective deposit areas of minerals and their documented deposits. These issues gained in significance in the EU level in recent years however views on this subject across the Member States still vary. The paper subjects instruments of mineral deposit safeguarding used in Poland, Slovakia and Czechia to the analysis and multi-criteria comparative assessment. It recommends their division into the conceptual, legal, spatial planning and economic ones. As a result of studies, similarities and differences in the approach to mineral deposit safeguarding in individual countries are shown, indicating good practices and suggesting possible changes. The analysis revealed many analogies in actions aimed at mineral deposit safeguarding in individual countries, however the assessment of their effectiveness and implementation points at the necessity of taking further steps to increase deposit safeguarding.
