The Relationship

The imperfection of man is the banes of all criminal activities worldwide. More so, global urbanization and technological advancement seem to catalyze the frequency and complexity of criminal activities generally. Crime in its entire ramification is a critical issue that has gained significant attention in most countries of the world Nigeria inclusive. In view of the alarming rate of crime globally and the GIS utilities, this paper therefore carried out a review of the principles and theories of crime mapping, types of crime mapping and the nexus between poverty and urban crime. The paper further examined the relationship between urban design and spatial dimension of urban crime, and the implication for Urban and Regional Planning professional education as one of the key players in environmental management. It is therefore recommended that the teachings of Urban and Regional Planning in educational institutes should include the key theories within environmental criminology. While national and international conferences and workshops around urban and regional planning should presently revolve around settlement safety and urban governance.

The Relationship

- This article aims to explain the implicit complexity of planning, a notion which has been recently defined in Italy by the expression "governo del territorio". It is divided into three parts. The first describes the evolution of planning in Europe throughout a century of history: from the modernist urbanism to the comprehensive planning, from the decision making evolution up to the recent forms of governance. The second sums up the latest fifty years of planning in Italy, which is undergoing today a complex and innovatory change. The third examines some keywords relating to cities and metropolitan areas. They refer to the recent notion of "governo del territorio", which calls for a redefinition of the relationship between the technical-instrumental dimension of urbanism (design oriented and based on new structural and operational plans) and the socio-political dimension of planning, responsible for the coordination of new urban policies and governance processes.Keywords: Urbanism, Town planning, Urban and regional planning, Urban governance Parole chiave: Urbanistica, Pianificazione territoriale, Governo del territorio.

O texto visa reconhecer desafios da formação na área do planejamento urbano e regional, associados à sua história acadêmica e às dificuldades experimentadas na atualização de seus fundamentos disciplinares e técnicos. Neste sentido, registra impactos na área com origem em mudanças na ação do Estado, na configuração de sujeitos sociais, na relação entre técnica e ciência, no mercado de trabalho e na teoria do espaço. Visando estimular a reflexão específica do ensino, o texto propõe o exame destes impactos a partir dos seguintes ângulos: práticas didáticas; experiência da interdisciplinaridade; expectativas da formação; renovação dos fundamentos da área e condições institucionais da docência. Por fim, são feitas sugestões à Anpur, com o objetivo de favorecer o debate, entre as instituições filiadas, da transmissão do conhecimento, assim como da formação de novos pesquisadores.Palavras-chave: ensino; espaço; planejamento; interdisciplinaridade; didática. Abstract: This work recognizes the challenge of teaching urban and regional planning, associated with its academic history and the difficulties related to the update of disciplinary and technical fundamentals. With this goal in mind, this work describes impacts observed in this field that were triggered by changes in State actions, in the configuration of social subjects, in the relationship between technique and science, in the work market and in the theory of space. To stimulate further thoughts on the specific task of teaching urban and regional planning, these impacts are analyzed from the following perspectives: didactic practice, interdisciplinary experience, learning expectations, renovation of the field fundamentals, and institutional facilities for teaching. At last, some suggestions are proposed to Anpur hoping to stimulate a debate on the transmission of knowledge as well as the training of new urban planning researchers.

The Relationship

The purpose of this paper is to discuss the ways that the top-down and the bottom-up approaches to planning can be combined in the practice of planning standards. In the first part, the paper examines the utilization of planning standards through time, while in the second part it aims to unravel the relationship between the use of planning standards and the top-down as well as the bottom-up planning approach. In the third part, the paper focuses on the limitations of bottom-up approaches, in order to demonstrate that they can only be used in a certain planning scale, leaving all other scales to top-down approaches. Last but not least, the paper proposes a framework for the use of planning standards in a combined top-down and bottom-up planning approach.

The Relationship

The article discusses the specific mode of existence of values – balancing or op­timization when it comes to deontological values. The authors using examples of values such as the principles of law and human rights, the rules of balancing are analyzed, which, according to G. Hart's classification, are secondary norms. The critical issue for the legal balancing procedure is the relationship between legal reality and values as such. Are the constitutional and legal values set by the Basic Law (Constitution), or do they objectively exist in society as a general (pre-constitutional) order of values? Should the Basic Law be confined to its own text and remain value-neutral in this sense? Are legal values purely deonto­logical, or can they be related to utilitarian goals and interests? The second part of the article explores the value of balancing as one of the methods for resolving the most complex legal conflicts. The well-known dispute between J. Habermas and R. Alexy about the admissibility of balancing of human rights demonstrates how complex and philosophically rich the legal balancing procedure is. Based on Luhmann’s concept of the cognitive openness of law, at the end of the article, the authors substantiate their own position on the role of values in modern justice.
