Near Future

In this work, an innovative sustainable spatial energy planning framework is developed on national scale for identifying and prioritizing appropriate, technically and economically feasible, environmentally sustainable as well as socially acceptable sites for the siting of large-scale onshore Wind Farms (WFs) and Photovoltaic Farms (PVFs) in Israel. The proposed holistic framework consists of distinctive steps allocated in two successive modules (the Planning and the Field Investigation module), and it covers all relevant dimensions of a sustainable siting analysis (economic, social, and environmental). It advances a collaborative and participatory planning approach by combining spatial planning tools (Geographic Information Systems (GIS)) and multi-criteria decision-making methods (e.g., Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP)) with versatile participatory planning techniques in order to consider the opinion of three different participatory groups (public, experts, and renewable energy planners) within the site-selection processes. Moreover, it facilitates verification of GIS results by conducting appropriate field observations. Sites of high suitability, accepted by all participatory groups and field verified, form the final outcome of the proposed framework. The results illustrate the existence of high suitable sites for large-scale WFs’ and PVFs’ siting and, thus, the potential deployment of such projects towards the fulfillment of the Israeli energy targets in the near future.

Starting Point

This paper focuses on the development of a participatory planning approach for local energy sustainability. The characteristics of a complex problem were reviewed to establish that the problem of sustainable energy at a local government level is complex. In order to better manage complex problems, the literature shows that soft operational research or problem-structuring methods need to be applied, and hence these methods were used as a starting point for developing a participatory planning approach. The requirements for a planning approach were elicited, namely that the approach must be participative and inclusive, holistic, simple and transparent. In addition, the approach must include the identification and assessment of risks as part of the deliberation process, the development of a realistic action plan must be attainable at the end of the stakeholder engagement, the approach must be dynamic, and should be formalised with clear institutional arrangements. A novel participatory approach, namely EDAS—to Explore, Design and Act for Sustainability—was then developed, applied, and evaluated as part of a case study with a local municipality in the Western Cape Province of South Africa. The insights are relevant not only for local governments, but for any institution on a journey towards sustainability.

Residential District

Planning for Ananda's Early Childhood Education (PAUD) learning room, located in a densely populated and densely populated residential district of Tambora District, West Jakarta, was carried out due to lack of knowledge and funds to build and carry out maintenance. Therefore, additional knowledge, assistance and a pilot of healthy learning environment facilities are needed. Counseling, assistance and demonstration conducted are bottom up through a participatory planning approach. This is done so that the planning, design, and maintenance of environmental facilities are in accordance with the needs and abilities of the community, can be accepted by the community, as well as a medium for community learning or transfer of knowledge related to the planning, design and maintenance of environmental facilities, especially PAUD facilities. In addition, with this participatory approach it is hoped that a strong sense of ownership will emerge as a basis for self-supporting and sustainable maintenance and development of public facilities.Perencanaan ruang belajar Pendidikan Anak Usia Dini (PAUD) Ananda yang terletak di pemukiman padat penduduk dan padat bangunan Kecamatan Tambora, Jakarta Barat dilakukan karena kurangnya pengetahuan dan biaya untuk membangun dan melakukan perawatan. Oleh sebab itu diperlukan pengetahuan tambahan, pendampingan serta percontohan tentang fasilitas lingkungan belajar yang sehat. Penyuluhan, pendampingan serta percontohan yang dilakukan bersifat bottom up melalui pendekatan partisipatory planning. Hal ini dilakukan agar perencanaan, perancangan, dan perawatan fasilitas lingkungan tersebut sesuai dengan kebutuhan dan kemampuan masyarakat, dapat diterima oleh masyarakat, serta menjadi media pembelajaran masyarakat atau transfer of knowledge terkait perencanaan, perancangan, dan perawatan fasilitas lingkungan, khususnya fasilitas PAUD. Selain itu dengan pendekatan partisipatif ini diharapkan timbul rasa kepemilikan yang kuat (sense of belonging) yang akan menjadi modal dasar bagi pemeliharaan dan pengembangan fasilitas publik secara swadaya dan berkelanjutan.

The objective of this article is to examine participatory planning approach to urban conservation and regeneration in Amphawa Community, Thailand which includes a series of interrelated projects starting from 2000 until the present. Action research procedure is adopted and various public participation techniques are applied intensively throughout the planning process. In addition, “Amphawa Model”, the community conservation and regeneration model, is developed to help direct all strategies and policies. Urban conservation and regeneration of Amphawa Community is very successful, making it an excellent case study for urban conservation and regeneration planning at the local level..
