The Impact

Since 2010, Ecuador's legal system has obliged provincial, cantonal and parochial decentralized autonomous govern-ments to develop two planning processes, one in 2011 of formulation and the other in 2015 of respective updating of development plans and territorial planning (PDOT). This planning process has been of little benefit, due to the quality of its contents and the vagueness of the legislation regarding the procedure for articulating the different plans with each other and with the National Development Plan. According to this approach, it is necessary to reflect on the planning experience so far, analyzing the different phases of the PDOT: diagnosis, proposal and management model; and the impact of the Organic Law of Territorial Ordinance, Use and Management of Land and other laws in the different instruments of territorial ordering and urban planning, in order to extract inputs for future planning processes.

Abstract This paper highlights the value for marine spatial planning (MSP) of engaging with terrestrial planning theory and practice. It argues that the traditions of reflection, critique, and debate that are a feature of land-based planning can inform the development of richer theoretical underpinnings of MSP as well as MSP practice. The case is illustrated by tempering the view that MSP can be a rational planning process that can follow universal principles and steps by presenting an alternative perspective that sees MSP as a social and political process that is highly differentiated and place-specific. This perspective is discussed with reference to four examples. First, the paper considers why history, culture, and administrative context lead to significant differences in how planning systems are organized. Second, it highlights that planning systems and processes tend to be in constant flux as they respond to changing social and political viewpoints. Third, it discusses why the integration ambitions which are central to “spatial” planning require detailed engagement with locally specific social and political circumstances. Fourth, it focuses on the political and social nature of plan implementation and how different implementation contexts need to inform the design of planning processes and the style of plans produced.

Energy Consumptions

In handling global wanning issues, among the most important measures are to reduce energy consumptions and carbon dioxide emissions. While many countries have recognized the importance of the role of urban planning in energy conservation and reduction of carbon dioxide emissions, spatial planning framework in Malaysia is still lacking in this aspect. Although there are some spatial planning policies indirectly favoring energy conservation, there is still no measure that directly emphasizes on promoting energy conservation and capping carbon dioxide emissions. Energy and carbon dioxide issues should thus be taken as one of the core parts in the urban planning process. It is necessary to develop and incorporate a decision making tool to assess the overall impact of development plans on energy consumptions and carbon dioxide emissions. While achieving the desired economic and social developments, it is necessary to create a low energy-consuming, carbon dioxide-emitting sustainable society.

The purpose of the following discussion is threefold: to consider whether or not rapid population growth is an impediment to economic development in Pakistan; to assess the impact of alternative changes in population growth on the size and composition of national development plans; to consider means of manipulating population size and growth. Under the last group of problems, questions will be asked about the effectiveness of a government-directed family planning programme. Is a national population-policy a feasible operation at all? There is no evidence after four years of the Pakistan programme1 and only scanty evidence from abroad2. The major complaint in this respect will be.......

Spatial planning can improve one’s quality of life by enhancing the environmental quality and its potential. Thus, the application of the concept of identity into the planning process is essential in emphasizing the significance of a place, especially in heritage tourism area, where tourist satisfaction is obtained from the tourism objects peculiarities that become the place identity. However, similar studies are still limited so that this study will contribute to filling the gaps. This study is conducted in Maimoon Palace District, a historic area in Medan. This study aims to examine the application of the concept of spatial planning based on the area identity. A qualitative method is used to collect the data about spatial planning elements in the area. The findings indicate that the existing spatial planning has already contained the place identity. However, many problems in spatial planning elements still cause a chaotic view of the area. Therefore, the government should improve the area not only by improving the physical quality but also increasing tourist satisfaction to enhance tourism attractiveness.

In education there is a system called Education is a conscious and planned effort to shape civilized people. Education is very important for a nation so that national development can run well and maximally in accordance with Pancasila and the 1945 Constitution. In education there is a system called the education system. Today education in Indonesia uses a zoning system in the acceptance of new students, the zoning system is implemented with the hope that the realization of educational equality in various regions. During this time what happened in Indonesia is the emergence of the title of 'favorite school' in schools that are considered to have high achievements so that this 'favorite school' usually becomes the target of parents and students so concentration occurs. This causes schools that are considered not favorite to be short of students, besides that, the differences between favorite and non-favorite schools cause intolerant attitudes among students which are not in accordance with the values of Pancasila. Zoning itself is the acceptance of new students by looking at the closest distance from school to home with a minimum quota of 90% of the total prospective students received. The impact of this zoning varies both positive and negative both on the quality of the school and on students themselves..

Municipal Level

Bodies of territorial public self-government (TPSG) are one of the key participants in the strategic planning process at the municipal level. These organizations make an important contribution to achievement of sustainable development goals of the municipality. Territorial public self-government bodies are not the driving force behind the development of the municipal economy. However, they are able to solve the problems of social development of the territory by using the resources of self-organization. The existing potential allows TPSG bodies not only to participate in the development of strategic documents, but also to take part in the implementation of specific projects. Participation in the project can be carried out both in a non-financial form (labor) and in a financial form (based on the results of use of self-taxation, crowdfunding, fundraising, business income, and other sources). Therefore, it is extremely important for the authorities to involve TPSG bodies in strategic planning processes in order to improve the quality of final documents, as well as increase the efficiency of their realization. However, a number of factors hinder the successful involvement of bodies of territorial public self government in strategic planning processes. The established practice of involvement of public in managerial decision-making processes leads to a low interest of non-profit organizations in participation in such procedures. In addition, the level of development of educational infrastructure in the field of territorial public self-government does not allow the heads of territorial public selfgovernment bodies to achieve the sustainable development goals of the municipality territory, as well as to develop skills in organizational management within its borders. As a result of the introduction of a set of suggested measures in the regions, the conditions will be created for the territorial public self-government authorities to realize their potential fully, which will ultimately be reflected in the improvement of the quality of residents’ life.

The rapid urbanization in many developing countries has indicated several challenges in different aspects. This is due to inefficient urban planning approaches towards managing the development process. Similar to many other developing countries, Iran has experienced rapid urbanization in recent decades. Although over the last few decades, urban planning processes have been applied to develop Iranian cities, urban planning has failed to tackle the challenges facing the cities. This paper seeks to identify the barriers that have prevented Iranian cities from achieving the goals of urban planning. The purpose of this paper is to provide a comprehensive review of the current literature on the concept of urban planning and to assess the urban development plan process in Iranian cities. The required data were collected through a review of international theoretical studies, Iranian experimental research and governmental reports. The findings of this study reveal five major barriers to the feasibility of the urban planning process, including the urban plans context, structure of urban planning, related law and regulations, public participation, and financial resources.
