On planning, planning theories, and practices: A critical reflection

The futility of defining planning suggests that there is no planning as a recognizable practice. Sociology of knowledge definitions imply three kinds of planning practices: (1) Generic “planning”—what people do when they are planning; (2) Knowledge-centered “something” (e.g., spatial) planning; and (3) Real planning practiced in specific contexts, from metro-regional planning for Jakarta to transportation planning for the Trans-Europe Network, and enacted in general contexts, for example, informal- or Southern planning. Planning theories are linked to different practices: generic “planning” theories and “something” (e.g., regional, community, environmental, or Southern) planning theories. Selected topics illustrate the “planning” theory discourse and spatial planning theories are briefly reviewed. Three generations of planning practice studies are reviewed: the first, a-theoretical; the second, the “practice movement,” who studied practice for their own theorizing; and the third, informed by practice theories. Five books about planning show how their planning theorist authors understand planning practice. While recognizing planning as diverse practices, they hardly apply “planning” theory to planning practices. “Planning” theories are divorced from enacted planning practices, “something” (e.g., spatial) planning theories include constructive adaptations of “planning” theories and paradigms, but knowledge about real planning practices is limited. Implications from these conclusions are drawn for planning theory, education, and practices.

Preface

Welcome to The 2020 International Conference on Science in Engineering and Technology (ICoSiET), online held 21-22 October, 2020. The 2020 International Conference on Science in Engineering and Technology (ICoSiET) is an international conference which covers Science and applied engineering and technology. ICoSiET 2020 will be held on October 21-22, 2020 in Palu, Indonesia. This conference hosted by Universias Tadulako and is jointly organized with Association for Scientific Computing Electronics and Engineering (ASCEE), Universitas Islam Alauddin Makassar, Universitas Negeri Malang, Universitas Mulawarman, Universitas Muslim Indonesia, and Universitas Lambung Mangkurat. This conference is IOP conference so that papers accepted and presented will be forwarding for consideration to be published in the IOP Material Science and Engineering. Thanks are due to Keynote Speakers, Prof. Dr. Zhen-jiang Shen (Faculty of Geosciences and civil Engineering, Institute of Science and Engineering Kanazawa University, Japan), Prof. Dr. Richard Sliuzas (Department of Urban and Regional Planning and Geo-Information Management Twente University, Netherland), Prof. Yandi Andri Yatmo., Ph.D (Department of Architecture Faculty of Engineering Universitas Indonesia, Indonesia). Prof. Amar Akbar Ali (Department of Architecture Universitas Tadulako, Indonesia), and Dr. Diana Contrias Mojica, New Castle University, UK) This year, the ICOSIET conference received 110 papers submissions from 106 countries such as, Bangladesh, China, Colombia, Germany, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Iraq, Japan, Jorda, Peru, Philippines, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Thailand, United Kingdom, United States and Viet Nam. But only 68 papers were accepted for presentations for online sessions (the acceptance ratio is 65%). We are very grateful for the extensive efforts of many individuals who worked diligently to ensure a successful and high quality conference. We would like to thank to IPO, ASCEE, TPC Committee and Faculty of Engineering Tadulako University for supporting this event. Once again we would like to say Welcome to ICOSIET 2020. Congratulations for your papers have been accepted. We invite all participants to actively participate in the conference activities to learn from one another. Thank you for choosing ICOSIET as your conference reference. We hope to have your pleasant supports and participations in the next year 2021 7th ICOSIET.

Möglichkeiten und Grenzen der landesplanerischen Steuerung des Windenergieausbaus

The expansion of onshore wind energy is faltering. The federal states, which can control the expansion through goals and principles in state-wide spatial plans, have a share in this. The study shows that the associated restriction of the freedom to build is subject to the principle of proportionality as a content and limitation provision of property. Based on the system of spatial control of wind energy in the BauGB (Federal Building Code). and ROG (Regional Planning Act), a substance requirement for the use of wind energy in outdoor areas is derived from the privilege in § 35 para. 1 No. 5 BauGB. On the basis of the specifications in state-wide spatial development plans, it is evaluated to what extent protective goods, such as immission control or acceptance, can be used as justification.

Raising Information Security Awareness in the Field of Urban and Regional Planning

IT is being increasingly used in most areas of life. With the IoT, this technology is set to be in a state of continuous evolution in urban and regional settings. The ongoing development of digitalization processes also increases the possibilities of abuse—both at the technical and interpersonal level. Better information security (IS) awareness (ISA) and knowledge about the dangers that accompany digitalization and the corresponding protective measures are important in private and work life. However, ISA is often overlooked. Training the relevant awareness and skills should also be included in urban and regional planning for citizens. This article thus provides a review of the scientific literature of leading academic journals in the area of IS and the transfer of scientific knowledge for practical purposes. The article presents Serious Games as a way to achieve a deeper understanding of how to promote sustainable ISA using creative methods. Furthermore, ideas of how to apply the Fun Theory and its practice to integrate awareness into modern urban and regional planning will be discussed.
