Abstract. This paper analyses from a philosophical and interdisciplinary point of view two master plans of the canton Ticino – the first one from 1990, Keynesian, and the second one from 2009, neoliberal. The differences between the former and the latter are highlighted on a conceptual level. While the former stresses the importance of rebalancing and maintaining internal solidarity between the regions of the canton, the latter aims to make the canton more competitive and specialised. The discussion highlights how this type of analysis, by showing the political and moral concepts and criteria underlying a master plan, favours their political discussion and thus, ultimately, the implementation of a more inclusive planning process.

The late formal tradition of strategic environmental assessment (SEA) European Directive into the Italian planning system has so far induced a variety of behaviour of administrative bodies and planning agencies involved. In Italy and Sardinia, a new approach to landscape planning is characterizing spatial planning practice from the regional to the municipal level. Currently municipalities are adjusting their master plan to the prescriptions of the regional landscape planning instrument (in Italian, Piano Paesaggistico Regionale, PPR), according to processes that have to be integrated with a proper SEA development. With respect to this background, the aim of this paper is to assess the level of SEA implementation on the master plans of Sardinia six years after the approval of the PPR. The first results show that many municipalities are not provided with a master plan (in Italian, Piano Urbanistico Comunale, PUC) and they have in force just an old planning tool. Moreover, just some municipalities have adapted the PUC to the PPR carrying out a SEA process.

In theory, shifts in institutional arrangements result in new public policies. This articles focuses on Curitiba, Brazil, an international flagship city of urban planning recognized for its technocratic government. The 2012 municipal elections and the 2013 nationwide political upheaval led to a change in the city's institutional arrangement. As a consequence, the 2014 Master Plan was conceived with the tagline of more public participation. This paper analyzes whether the changes in institutional arrangements influenced the city's planning process and the Master Plan.

The paper presents the author's observations on some of the considerations that should go into preparing a port master plan. He indicates that many ports are now paying the price for not having developed master plans years ago before the advent of containerization and the new specialized types of ships coming into service. One of the primary considerations for port planners at the present time is in accommodating the public with regard to recreational facilities. Also, the restrictions being placed on ports by environmental legislation are also having a significant effect. The author emphasizes that a master planning process is a never-ending effort, since adjustments and modifications should continually be made in light of changing circumstances and technology.

The massive spatial expansion of the city into the fringe area has caused many problems mainly related to the spatial exploitation in both city and villages surrounding. The problem is also caused by the city development which its pace can not compete with the population growth. The aim of this study is to formulate the policy planning of spatial arrangement for the region potential empowerment. The spatial planning itself is directed to control and support in formulating spatial policy that should be efficient, effective and proportional. The descriptive method with field observation approach and literature survey is used to obtain the data. The result of the studypointed that the empowerment of the region power have to be supported by the spatial planning policy formulation which means that (1) spatial arrangement must put human and space in holistical point of view and bonding the social values together;(2) the urban-rural lingkages concept must put in a priority for formulating the internal spatial structure of regional planning and to empower villages as growth poles;(3) the spatial planning process has to be able to gain the best possibility of spatial arrangement where the pattern and distribution of space can ensure the existence of the city and village; (4) spatial planning have to accommodate spatial structure;(5) the application of spatial planning have to be based on self- containedpower of the region which put the bottom-up concept in a priority; (6) the spatial planning product have to be directed to the solid effort for future spatial usage.

Different forms of planning and urban design works are used in the process of decision-making on the local level, starting with visions of development, through comprehensive or master plans, finishing with the implemented action plans. Also, various kinds of social participation can be used in the process in spatial planning. The method of participation depends on the range of willingness of the local authority to divide the power and include informing, consultation or placation up to real partnership and delegation of power to citizens. Each form of participation is appropriate for a different situation. Generally, the act of using a specific form of participation in the process of creation of urban design or a planning activity is advisable. This article presents the framework of the model of participation suitable for spatial planning process on the local level. That model would be based on common consensus about the utilization of space. The consensus should be worked out in support of disclosed social and economic interests of important stakeholders from different groups of the local society and the public community as well. It is established using feedback loops on the most important steps of work as a method of gaining the best solution.

Spatial planning has only been seen as an effort to meet development growth and only focuses on economic development. However spatial planning should not only focus on the economic sector but should also pay attention to other crucial sectors. This indicates that it does not take into account the zoning and purpose of spatialisation. This study attempts to look at ow the spatial planning process in Tuban Regency is undergoing a process of industrialization because many large factories are relocating to the Tuban area. The relocation of the factory to the Tuban area has increased the practice of spatial planning politics. The practice of spatial planning politics in Tuban Regency in this study is analyzed using Lefebvre's point of view which states that there are three parties to spatial planning. The method in this study is qualitative and the data collection technique uses the interview method. The results of this research show that the practice of space can be seen from how the government, the private sector and the community collaborate with each other to provide space so that industrialization can run. Many large factories are starting to be built in the Tuban area. The representation of space can be seen from how the government of Tuban Regency plans the arrangement so that there is an even distribution in each region. The northern and western regions are more focused on industrialization. The southern region is more focused on agricultural areas. the central region is focused on the center of government and trade and for the east it is focused on tourist attractions. The third is the representation space where this can be seen from how the government of Tuban Regency makes efforts to control the conversion of agricultural land for food. This is done because every year the agricultural land in Tuban Regency is decreasing so it needs to be maintained to maintain food security.

Local realm, the pivotal level of the spatial planning action regarding the engage of citizens, is following its path regarding the use of Geographic Information Systems (GIS). The literature considers GIS a powerful tool, allowing a better knowledge of cities and countryside, managing them in an integrated and more efficient way. A detailed and embedded territorial knowledge ensures a most effective and successful urban management. In fact, the development of information technologies has been fostered a better interaction between planning authorities and citizens. WebGIS applications are key factors of a wider range of geographic information (GI), considering the diversity of research fields, being a communication tool of planning strategies. This article is focused on WebGIS as a skill to ensuring the effectiveness of planning process, comprising e-Platforms of transferring accurate knowledge about the urbanization and building rules; improving the procedural agility, timescale and equity of planning; and supporting the decision-making process of the urbanization and construction actions by local entities, under a complex set of data, documents, maps and drawings. The conclusion shows that WebGIS at spatial planning, guarantees a bigger satisfaction, boosting the collaboration and exchange between local authorities and citizens.

The article examines the epistemological roots of conservative ideology, development trends and further prospects in political reform not only in modern Russia, but also in other countries. The author focuses on the “world” and Russian conservatism. In the course of the study, the author illustrates what opportunities and limitations a conservative ideology can have in political reform not only in modern Russia, but also in the world. In conclusion, it is concluded that the prospect of a conservative trend in the world is wide enough. To avoid immigration and to control the development of technology in society, it is necessary to adhere to a conservative policy. Conservatism is a consolidating ideology. It is no coincidence that the author cites as an example the understanding of conservative ideology by the French due to the fact that Russia has its own vision of the ideology of conservatism. If we say that conservatism seeks to preserve something and respects tradition, we must bear in mind that traditions in different societies, which form some kind of moral imperatives, cannot be a single phenomenon due to different historical destinies and differing religious views. Considered from the point of view of religion, Muslim and Christian conservatism will be somewhat confrontational on some issues. The purpose of the work was to consider issues related to the role, evolution and prospects of conservative ideology in the political reform of modern countries. The author focuses on Russia and France. To achieve this goal, the method of in-depth interviews with experts on how they understand conservatism was chosen. Already today, conservatism is quite diverse. It is quite possible that in the future it will transform even more and acquire new reflections.
