Land Use Plan

Planning processes of development and growth of the city of Barranquilla have required the relocation of the population living in areas of intervention actions. Under the current Land Use Plan of Barranquilla (POT) (1), the urban development project "La Loma" includes, among other activities, the transfer of a large number of people currently living in this area. For this reason, this article aims to review the current POT and other legal documents related to the Plan in order to identify and analyze the community participation component. The results of the documents revealed the presence of regulatory elements associated with community participation. The results also showed potentially useful spaces for the implementation of inclusive communication processes. Therefore, this article proposes a guide for the formulation of a strategic communication plan with a focus on participatory communication and dialogue facilitator to be used during the execution of urban projects that include the relocation of families.

The Status

Purpose: The current study sought to establish determinants of successful implementation of non-government organization health projects in Kibera informal settlement. The study sought to establish how community participation, resource mobilization, communication and project control determines successful implementation of health projects for NGOs operating in Kibera informal settlement.Methodology: The study adopted a descriptive survey design and 116 questionnaires were issued but only 92 questionnaires were received which represented a 79% response rate.Results: The results of the study revealed that resource mobilization, communication and project control positively and significantly determined successful implementation of health projects by Non-Governmental organizations in Kibera as shown by r=0.443, r=0.511 and r=0.798 respectively while community participation negatively determined the implementation success of the projects (r= -0.078).Recommendations: The study recommends that NGOs implementing health projects in Kibera should focus on mobilizing resources since the practice contributes to successful implementation of the projects. NGOs can achieve this by actively engaging sponsors, conducting harambees, networking and presenting grant proposals to prospective financiers to solicit resources for implementing the health projects. Additionally, the study recommends that NGOs implementing health projects in Kibera should focus on project communication since the practice contributes to successful implementation of the projects. NGOs can achieve this by establishing a concise project communication plan, and through continuous communication with project teams and stakeholders on matters concerning the progress of the project. The study further recommends that NGOs implementing health projects in Kibera should focus on project control since the practice contributes to successful implementation of the projects.NGOs can achieve this by using project management information systems in designing and controlling health projects, conducting a variance analysis on the progress of the project and by providing updates on the status of the project to the relevant stakeholders.

Theoretical Foundations

This article builds on theoretical foundations from enclave urbanism, authoritarian planning and neoliberal urbanisation to explore contemporary socio-spatial transformation(s) happening in Cairo, Egypt. Relying on a nationwide road development project, inner-city neighbourhoods in Cairo are turning into urban enclaves, whereby populations are being separated by a multiplicity of transport-related infrastructure projects. As these rapid planning processes are occurring, our article aims to explain why these developments are crucial and unique in the context of the post-Arab Spring cities. We argue that the new road infrastructure is creating a spatially and socially fragmented city and transforming the urban citizenry into a controllable and navigable body. We use an inductive approach to investigate the effects of the new road infrastructure and its hegemonic outcomes on the city. On a conceptual level, we propose that the enclaving of the city is a containment method that has erupted since the mass mobilisations of the Arab Spring. In doing so, we use qualitative analysis to explain empirical evidence showing how the city is being transformed into nodes of enclaves, where communities are getting separated from one another via socio-spatial fault lines.

Mainly narration and content analyses were used to scrutinize all data.The findings show that there were: inadequate community participation in planning at KTC due to lack of motivation and training, shortage of staff, lack of funds, inflexibility, irresponsibility, and lack of council mechanism for participation. Consequently, there was low level of community members participating in bottom up planning process. In order to encourage more people to be part of planning process, among other things, there is need to improve (or introduce) motivation to and training of community members, leaders and officers for effective bottom up participation participate.

Fundamental Part

La creación y transmisión de una determinada imagen mediática en coherencia con unos objetivos previamente definidos requiere un plan de comunicación estratégico, del cual el protocolo es parte fundamental. El propósito de este trabajo es comprobar cómo los criterios protocolarios de jerarquía espacial y escenografía simbólica afectan a la imagen de una autoridad. Este estudio concluye que el actor político comunica control, dominio, autoridad y poder mediante la observancia de las normas protocolarias. Sin embargo, se ha comprobado que el protocolo deja sin cobertura aspectos primordiales del control estratégico de la imagen pública. Resulta, pues, insuficiente si no se complementa con otros canales no verbales que transmiten atributos asociados al carisma.____________________________The creation and conveyance of a specific media image related to previously defined objectives require a strategic communication plan, of which Protocol is a fundamental part. This research contributes to demonstrate how the protocol criteria of space, hierarchy and symbolic scenery affect a leader´s image. It is concluded that the leader conveys control, dominance, authority and power through the respect of the protocol rules. However, protocol does not take into account many remarkable aspects of the strategic control of the politician´s image. Subsequently, this research proposes that it should be complemented with channels of the non-verbal language in charge of conveying the qualities linked to charisma.
