AbstractThe so-called Buchanan report, commissioned by the Irish government and published in May 1969, comprised a set of proposals for regional industrial development in Ireland over the period 1966–86. The main thrust of the report was the concentration of the great bulk of new industrial employment creation in Dublin and eight proposed ‘growth centres’. The plan provided for the creation of powerful planning authorities to oversee development in the regions. The government rejected these proposals and opted instead to continue with the existing policy of widespread dispersal of new industry. While meeting with initial success, this policy proved unsustainable in the long term. The paper reviews the implications of the Buchanan report experience for the regional planning process in Ireland, arguing that failure to learn from this experience served to undermine the National Spatial Strategy, with a similar fate likely for the forthcoming National Planning Framework.

AbstractIn the fifty years since the publication of the Buchanan report, Regional Studies in Ireland, Ireland has transitioned from a rural to an urban society. Although a number of spatial plans have been introduced at regional and local levels, the growth of over 1.5 million people in the urban population has occurred in the absence of any strong national-level direction of spatial or settlement policy. This paper examines the nature of urbanisation in the half-century since 1966, by looking at the development of the urban hierarchy of cities and towns. Significant long-term changes in both the structure and the spatial expression of the urban hierarchy are identified, on the basis of which urbanisation is characterised as having been deconcentrated and decentralised. The paper identifies some implications of the observed shifts for contemporary policy concerns, and in particular the 2018 National Planning Framework.

After devastating disaster, local governments create their "long-term recovery plans." However, there is no clear threshold showing how severely damaged local governments would establish the plan, and no analysis on what kind of components those plans could include. Another issue about long-term recovery planning is how we compiling ideas or visions of stakeholders of an impacted community into a plan. There exists two aspects in planning, one is how ideas of stakeholders are compiled into a plan, and the other is how a feasible plan is established. This paper discusses about 1) the threshold and components for long-term recovery plans from historical data analysis on the various long term recovery plans in Japan during 1959 Ise Bay Typhoon Disaster to Niigata Chuetsu Earthquake Disaster, and 2) planning scheme to establish feasible plan with stakeholder involvement. As a results about the threshold and components on long-term recovery plans, when 8% house holds suffers major damage within total local government's house holds, local governments could establish "long-term recovery plans," and there exits two kinds of "long-term recovery plans" such as comprehensive plans and disaster reduction+short term recovery plans among recent "long-term recovery plans." And the scheme to develop long-term recovery planning by summing up 1690 of stakeholders' ideas on long term recovery of the community into the plan according to a strategic planning framework were developed from the case study in the Ojiya City long term recovery planning, which suffers severe damage from 2004 Niigata Chuetsu Earthquake Disaster. The planning process which could secure the feasibility and effectiveness of the plan and compile successfully various visions and ideas of stakeholders were compiled into the plan were developed.

In recent years, significant of Foreign Direct Investment has been increasing especially in the developing countries. These countries are trying their level best to attract more and more FDI. Foreign Direct Investment takes place when a company invests directly in the production or marketing of a product in a foreign country.FDI is defined as an investment involving a long term relationship that reflects the long term interest and control of a resident entity in the host country. Industrial investment plays a significant role in the development of a country. Broadly there are two types of foreign investment viz., foreign direct investment and portfolio investment. The developments are easily possible through Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) because it helps to bring close the different economies of the world by investing capital in a country. Capital formation is an important determinant of economic growth. While domestic investments add to the capital stock in an economy, FDI plays a complementary role in overall capital formation and filling up the gap between domestic savings and investment. Foreign investment plays an important role in the long term economic development by augmenting availability of capital, enhancing competitiveness domestic economy through transfer of technology, strengthening infrastructure, raising productivity, generating new employment opportunities and boosting exports. The Government has implemented several reforms in recent years to attract more FDIs. These include improving infrastructure, revising the law on the land acquisition, reforming labour law and rationalizing the process of obtaining environmental clearances. In this article researcher focused on industrial opportunities and challenges in Tamil Nadu for industrial development of the state.

This chapter examines the implications of Korea’s industrial policy and financing for African economies that are trying to build their industrial bases. It considers industrial policy as essentially building the capabilities of private firms to sustain long-term economic growth and looks at the role of the government or industrial policy in this process of capability building. The chapter first provides an overview of the financial systems and industrial policy in Korea, focusing on the nature of financial control by the government and the roles and evolution of key development banks such as the Korea Development Bank. It then discusses three episodes of industrial policy and financing in these cases involving POSCO, targeted development of bottleneck technologies for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), and leapfrogging into digital TV since the mid-1990s. Finally, it assesses the significance of the Korean experience for Africa, especially with regards to export manufacturing and resource-based development.

Purpose of the study: This study examines the capacity planning of the new autonomous region (DOB) in the Seluma regency of Bengkulu province, Indonesia. Methodology: By applying the descriptive qualitative research and interactive model, the results show that capacity planning becomes an important process involved by all stakeholders. Moreover, the planning process, which reflected the development and implementation of the DOB’s objectives, includes four approaches (1) technocratic; (2) political; (3) top-down/bottom-up; and (4) participatory. Main Findings: The findings imply that policy actors are required to respond to parts of the process that have not been effectively accommodated. Additional planning further should be based on the results of academic studies and expert opinions. Therefore, it needs a strategy and capacity planning to deal with these threats employing diversification strategies to increase creativity and innovation. Applications of this study: This study can be useful in the government and regional development. This study can be useful to plan work programs every year as set out by the Regional Revenue and Expenditure Budget (APBD) in line with the vision and mission of the elected Regent. In addition, this study also can harmonize the APBD with the National Long-Term Development Plan (RPJPN), the National Medium-Term Development Plan (RPJMN), and the Regional Long-Term and Medium-Term Development Plan, so that all work programs can be implemented according to community needs. Novelty/Originality of this study: There are a few studies have been done so for on this sample. This study has value for the implementers (ASN) of BAPEDA in planning the work program of the new autonomous regional government.

The main goal of the article is to show actions taken by the University of Warsaw in order to improve the quality of campus spaces, as well as to evaluate these actions. To gather information, the method research by design was used, because the author is an active participant of the planning process. The first part of the article describes the history and main features of three campuses – Centrum-Powiśle, Ochota and Służew – and the spatial ambitions of the university. Challenges facing higher education institutions are also presented. The second part of the article is intended to show the main tools and actions implemented to fulfil the ambition of the University of Warsaw. The main tool is a long-term investment program, co-financed by the government. It is a push factor for the university to rethink its spatial structure. Urban planning process is shown more specifically on the example of the Ochota Campus masterplan. In the third part of the article there is an assessment of activities carried out so far. It was found out that the long-term investment program is a good tool to increase the quality of campus space, it should, however, implement financing of public spaces as much as new buildings. It was also emphasized that the participation process should include neighbouring communities and not only people from the university. Finally, future perspectives of how campus spaces are going to change are presented.

The purpose of this study is to provide an understanding of the factors influencing green warehouse practices (GWP) in the Malaysian warehouse industry. Both stakeholder theory (ST) and institutional theory (IT) act as the foundation in developing the theoretical framework. Six factors were identified resulted from preliminary data gathering and an extensive literature review for constructing the model. The sample size consists of 226 respondents with the acceptance rate of 89 per cent. The findings revealed that customer demand, owner support, employee involvement, top management commitment, industry competition, and governmental pressure are positively associated with GWP. Based on the findings, warehouse companies and relevant authorities in Malaysia should focus on the importance of GWP towards becoming more competitive in the global market. The study provides a theoretical gap by proposing a valuable implication to scholars and practitioners in promoting sustainable industrial development which aligns with the government national agenda.

The Difference

It is sometimes said that "national planning will simply have no meaning if it completely ignores the economic disparities between the two wings and fails to evolve a sensible pattern of regional planning"2. The lack of much essential data on a regional basis, however, renders any precise estimate of the relative growth rates almost impossible. Data either are not available or are inadequate on such important variables as production, income, consumption and trade, so that even a correct evaluation of past development efforts is not possible. The implications of such a situation for future planning are not difficult to understand. In this article an attempt is made to estimate the absorption of specified commodities in East and West Pakistan separately3. This will indicate the pattern of consumption and also give a rough idea about the growth rate of the two wings. With this purpose in view, quantity indices of absorption are prepared for each wing separately, taking data on availability of goods and prices from the Institute's monograph on Inflation. The quantity indi¬ces, however, are not of course strictly comparable with national income estimates because of the difference in coverage of the two series. National income data include government, services, trade, etc., while the quantity indices cover only specified goods available for each region.
