The spatial structure of modern settlements is organized based on development control. The compliance of urban residents with development control regulations makes it possible for cities to be well structured for physical, aesthetic, and economic developments. The study aims to assess public compliance with development control in Auchi. A sample of 378 residents of Auchi was used in the study. The study area was divided into six strata, and samples were selected from the strata based on their population sizes. The instrument was a 5-point Likert-type option, which was administered to the respondents. The findings revealed that there was low compliance with development control standards in Auchi. There was awareness of developers on compliance but did not translate into compliance. The building coverage specified by development control regulations was grossly violated. There was a medium correlation (0.55) between education and level of non-compliance; the variability of development control non-compliance in the six quarters of Auchi was statistically significant, and the eta squared effect was also large. It was recommended that the town planning regulations be reassessed for a better practical effect; monitoring of developments to encourage compliance should be strengthened; and town planning manuals should be used to monitor and control developments.

The authors describe the nature of the planning policies relating to the container industry of Hong Kong, a major international container trade centre, at territorial and district planning levels. Informed by the concepts of transaction costs, the authors attempt to ascertain whether the planning permission system in Hong Kong is promarket, antimarket, or market-neutral with respect to the container industry, and whether the stated statutory district planning policy of permitting and concentrating open storage in specifically designated Open Storage (OS) zones has been followed. A probit model is developed to evaluate 195 sets of nonaggregate and cross-sectional data regarding planning applications to the Town Planning Board for the years 1991 to 1998. The evaluation is conducted in terms of two refutable empirical hypotheses regarding the container industry. The findings suggest that the Hong Kong planning permission mechanism is market neutral towards the container industry and that the statutory district forward planning policy for that industry has not been followed in the development control process.

LABURPENA: Hirigintza-jardueraren garrantziak argi erakusten du administrazioaren diziplinazko esku-hartzea beharrezkoa dela. Baina esku-hartze hori administrazioaren jardueraren berri ematen duten printzipioek bideratu behar dute. Printzipioon artean legaltasunekoak, segurtasun juridikokoak eta proportzionaltasunekoak nabarmenduko ditugu jarraian. Proportzionaltasun printzipioa hirigintzako zaharberritze arloan aplikatzeak balio dezake administrazioaren jarduera arrazionaltasunez eta justiziaz hornitzeko arauaren aplikazio zorrotzen aurrean, baita praktikan konplexuak diren egoerak konpontzeko ere. Baina beharrezkoa da hori aplikatzeko suposizioak eta eskakizunak hobeto arautzea, segurtasun juridikoa ez dadin ahuldu eta ez dadin erabili legez kontrako jarduerak justifikatzeko tresna gisa. RESUMEN: La trascendencia de la actividad urbanística no deja lugar a dudas sobre la necesidad de la intervención administrativa disciplinaria. Pero tal intervención ha de estar orientada por los principios que informan la actuación administrativa, de los que, concretamente, resaltamos ahora los de legalidad, seguridad jurídica y proporcionalidad. La aplicación del principio de proporcionalidad en el ámbito restaurador urbanístico puede servir para dotar de racionalidad y justicia a la actuación administrativa frente a la estricta aplicación de la norma y dar solución a situaciones complejas en la práctica, pero es necesaria una mejor regulación de los supuestos y requisitos para su aplicación a fin de evitar que la seguridad jurídica se vea resentida y que sea utilizado como instrumento para justificar ilegalidades. ABSTRACT: The importance of town-planning activity is beyond doubt about the need of the disciplinary administrative intervention. But that intervention has to be directed by the principles which rule the administrative action, among which, we specifically highlight the principle of legality, legal certainty and proportionality. The application of the principle of proportionality in the town-planning urban sphere can be suitable for providing the administrative action with rationality and fairness against the strict application of the norm and so give answer to complex situations, but it is necessary a better regulation of the facts and conditions for its application so as to avoid to damage legal certainty and that it is used as a tool for justifying illegalities.
