The overall purpose with this report is to examine what role the municipal comprehensive plan has in the planning process today and how it influences future detailed development plans. The main question that this report tries to answer is: Does the municipal comprehensive plan give the guidance it is meant to according to the Swedish planning and building act? The municipal comprehensive plan is mandatory in that it must be established by all munici-palities and cover the entire municipality’s surface. The plan should state basic directions for land use and settlement development and give guidance for subsequent plans and decisions. For smaller areas, a more detailed comprehensive plan can be established. The municipal comprehensive plan, and the more detailed comprehensive plan, is not binding. In order to investigate the influence the municipal comprehensive plan is supposed to have according to the Swedish plan- and building law, a study has been conducted of the detailed development plans in Stockholm County, that became legally binding in the year of 2012, to investigate what the municipal comprehensive plan said about each detailed development plan. The conclusion of the conducted study is that in most cases the municipal comprehensive plan had been of guidance for the detailed development plans and in only four of the studied cases was the purpose of the detailed development plan conflicting with the municipal comprehen-sive plan. / Det övergripande syftet med den här rapporten är att undersöka vilken roll översiktsplanen har i planprocessen idag och hur den därigenom påverkar detaljplaneläggningen och att försöka besvara frågeställningen: Ger översiktsplanen idag den vägledning för kommande detaljplane-läggning som är tanken enligt PBL? Översiktsplanen är obligatorisk och ska upprättas av varje kommun och omfatta hela kommu-nens yta (3 kap. 1 § PBL). Planen ska ange grunddragen för markanvändning och bebyggelse utveckling samt ge vägledning för efterföljande planer och beslut (3 kap. 2 och 5 §§ PBL). För mindre områden kan en mer detaljerad översiktsplan upprättas, denna kallas vanligtvis för fördjupad översiktsplan (3 kap. 23 § PBL). Översiktsplanen är inte bindande (3 kap. 3 § PBL). För att tydligöra rollen som översiktsplanen, enligt PBL, är avsedd att ha idag för detaljplane-läggningen har en litteraturstudie av nuvarande lagstiftning, propositioner till nuvarande och tidigare lagstiftning samt artiklar och rapporter som handlar om översiktsplanens roll. Även aktuella förslag till ändringar av lagstiftningen presenteras. För att empiriskt undersöka vilken betydelse översiktsplanen har idag för den efterföljande detaljplaneläggningen studeras planbeskrivningar till lagakraftvunna detaljplaner i Stock-holms län år 2012 för att undersöka vad översiktsplanen, enligt planbeskrivningen för respek-tive detaljplan, sade om det aktuella området. Sammanfattningsvis kan sägas att översiktsplanen faktiskt är vägledande då kommunerna i sin detaljplaneläggning i de allra flesta fall följer översiktsplanens anvisningar, trots att de inte har någon laglig skyldighet att göra så.

The field of professional learning in education has been studied and added to extensively in the last few decades. Because the importance of learning in authentic contexts through professional dialogue has become so important, high quality, school-based professional learning is vital to building capacity at the school level. Unfortunately, the literature on professional development (PD) does not provide much guidance on how to bridge theory and practice at the school level, creating a gap. With the goal of PD ultimately being to improve teacher performance and student learning, the problem with this gap is that school-level professional development is arbitrarily planned, resulting in variable outcomes. I propose the reason for this is schools lack a comprehensive framework or tool that guides the design of a quality professional learning plan. This problem was identified in Orange County Public School and this dissertation in practice aims at developing a solution that accounts for the district*s specific contextual needs. My proposed solution is the design of an integrative tool that school leaders can use to guide them through the professional development planning process. The School-based Professional Learning Design Tool incorporates the professional development standards in planning, learning, implementing, and evaluating outlined in the Florida Professional Development System Evaluation Protocol. It also guides leaders in taking an inventory of the culture and context of their school in order to plan PD that will be viable given those considerations. The components of the Tool guide teams through assessing school teacher performance and student achievement data to help identify focus groups; determining gaps in learning through root cause analysis; creating goals aligned to gaps in performance; and selecting strategies for professional learning, follow-up support, and evaluation. The development of the Tool was informed by the extant literature on professional development, organizational theory, state and national standards for professional development, and principles of design. The Tool is to be completed in four phases. Phases one and two, the focus of this paper, include the literature review, organizational assessment, design specifications, and the first iteration of the Tool. In the next phases, the goals are to solicit feedback from an expert panel review, create a complete version of the Tool, and pilot it in elementary schools. Although the development of the Tool through its final phases will refine it considerably, there are limitations that will transcend all iterations. While the Tool incorporates best practices in professional development, the lack of empirical evidence on the effectiveness of specific PD elements in the literature renders this Tool only a best guess in helping schools plan effective professional development. Another limitation is that the Tool is not prescriptive and cannot use school data to make decisions for what strategies to implement. Taking these limitations into consideration, the use of this Tool can significantly impact the quality and effectiveness of professional development in schools.

Den fastighetsrättsliga situationen för Stockholms befintliga tunnelbana är idag splittrad med många olika typer av rättigheter och där det i många fastigheter helt saknas rättighet. Det kan leda till problem i samband med exempelvis köp och underhållsarbeten. Syftet var därför att utreda vilka rättigheter som kan bildas och vilken eller vilka som är att föredra, vilket skulle leda till en rekommendation. Syftet var också att undersöka i vilken utsträckning gällande detaljplaner och deras bestämmelser möjliggör för tunnelbanan. För att uppnå syftet hölls intervjuer med sakkunniga för att få en inblick i hur de ser på bildandet av rättigheter för tunnelbanan och hur detaljplaner med tillhörande planbestämmelser påverkar detta. Utöver intervjuerna genomfördes också en dokumentstudie som tittade på gällande detalj- och stadsplaner för de fastigheter som idag saknar rättighet för tunnelbanan. Fokus låg på att undersöka i vilken utsträckning det finns planstöd för tunnelbanan och att göra en inventering av de planbestämmelser som skapar det planstödet. Av intervjuerna framkom att det är just stora och lilla T/t som förespråkas, men det råder delade meningar kring vilka rättigheter de möjliggör för och var i en detaljplan de kan placeras. Alla intervjupersoner förespråkade tredimensionella fastigheter (3D-fastigheter) eller officialservitut, bland annat för att de är beständiga och för att de fortsätter gälla vid såväl fastighetsbildning som ny fastighetsägare. Dokumentstudien visade att det för 87 % av de fastigheter där det saknas rättigheter för tunnelbanan också saknas planstöd, samt att de planbestämmelser som främst används för att reglera tunnelbanan är stora T (versal) och lilla t (gemen). Efter en sammanvägning av teori, dokumentstudie och intervjuer rekommenderades att rätten för den befintliga tunnelbanan säkras genom 3D-fastigheter eller officialservitut. För att möjliggöra bildandet av dessa rättigheter rekommenderades också att planstöd åtgärdas. Vidare förespråkades planbestämmelsen stora T vid reglering av tunnelbanan. / The existing Stockholm metro consists of an array of different types of real property rights, and rights are missing completely in many property units. This fragmented situation can lead to problems in connection with, for example, purchases and maintenance. The purpose was therefore to find out which real property rights can be created and which is or are preferred, leading to a recommendation. The purpose was also to find out to what extent valid detailed development plans and their plan provisions provide support for the metro. To achieve the purpose, interviews were held with experts in the field to get insight into how they view the formation of real property rights for the metro and how detailed development plans with associated plan provisions impact this. In addition to the interviews, a document analysis was also conducted. It looked at valid detailed development plans and older equivalents for those property units lacking real property rights for the metro today. Focus was on investigating to what extent the metro has support in the plans and to inventory the plan provisions creating that support. The interviews revealed that capital and lowercase T/t were advocated by all interviewees. They did, however, have different opinions concerning which real property rights are made possible by which plan provisions and where in a detailed development plan these can be placed. All interviewees favoured three-dimensional real properties (3D properties) or official easements, because they are perpetual and continue to be valid during property formation or a transfer of ownership. The document analysis showed that 87 % of the property units lacking real property rights for the metro also lacked support in plans, and that the plan provisions most frequently used to regulate the metro are capital T and lowercase t. After combining theory with the results from the document analysis and interviews, it was recommended that rights for the existing metro be secured through 3D-real property or official easements. To enable the formation of these real property rights, it was also recommended that support in detailed development plans be secured. Furthermore, the plan provision capital T was advocated in regulating the metro.

Le nouveau contexte de planification du Grand Montréal engendré par la Loi modifiant la Loi sur l’aménagement et l’urbanisme et d’autres dispositions législatives concernant les communautés métropolitaines (L.Q. 2010, c. 10) soulève un grand nombre de questions en matière d’aménagement, notamment par rapport à la gestion de l’urbanisation et plus spécifiquement en ce qui a trait à la notion de périmètre d’urbanisation. Ce nouveau contexte de planification est donc l’élément déclencheur de la présente recherche qui vise à examiner la conception du périmètre métropolitain définie dans le Plan métropolitain d’aménagement et de développement (PMAD) adopté par la Communauté métropolitaine de Montréal (CMM) et qui est entré en vigueur le 12 mars 2012, suite à l’avis favorable du gouvernement du Québec. Cette recherche vise également à examiner l’encadrement du périmètre métropolitain en fonction du contenu des schémas d’aménagement et de développement (SAD) en vigueur des cinq municipalités régionales de compté (MRC) de la Couronne Nord. Plus précisément, il s’agit d’examiner ces documents en ce qui a trait à quatre outils de planification complémentaires, soit les seuils minimaux de densité, les programmes de phasage, les plans de développement de la zone agricole et les demandes à portée collective, ceci afin d’évaluer leur présence et leur contribution à l’atteinte des objectifs poursuivis par le concept de périmètre d’urbanisation. La présente recherche a permis de conclure qu’en matière de conception, le périmètre métropolitain est un outil nettement plus stratégique, comparativement au rôle attribué à cette notion au préalable dans les schémas régionaux, et ce, même considérant le peu de complémentarité entre les périmètres régionaux et ce dernier. En matière d’encadrement, il est possible de conclure que le contexte de planification révèle une situation régionale hautement variable qui illustre le besoin d’une approche de planification commune afin d’atteindre les objectifs du périmètre métropolitain. / The new planning framework created by The Act to amend the Act respecting land use planning and development and other legislative provisions concerning metropolitan communities (S.Q. 2010, c. 10) raises a number of questions about land use issues, notably with regards to growth management and more specifically with the concept of urban growth boundaries. In light of the new planning framework, the aim of this research is to assess the design of Greater Montreal’s Metropolitan Growth Boundary as defined in The Metropolitan Land Use and Development Plan (PMAD) adopted by the Communauté métropolitaine de Montréal (CMM) and which came into effect on March 12, 2012, following approval of the Québec government. This paper will also look at the management of the Metropolitan Growth Boundary within the new planning framework by focusing on the content of The Land Use and Development Plan (SAD) in force in the five Regional County Municipalities (RCM) of Greater Montreal’s North Shore. The regional planning documents will be examined with regards to four complementary planning tools (Minimum Density Thresholds, Phased Growth Programs, Agricultural Development Plans and Demands of Collective Scope) in order to ascertain whether the tools were used and if so, whether they contribute to supporting the Metropolitan Growth Boundary objectives. This research finds that, in terms of its design, even considering the lack of synchronization between regional growth boundaries and the Metropolitan Growth Boundary, the Metropolitan Growth Boundary is now a much more strategic tool than the previous regional incarnations within the regional Land Use and Development Plans. As well, in terms of the management of the Metropolitan Growth Boundary, it is possible to conclude that due to a highly variable planning situation, the regional planning framework highlights the need for a common planning approach in order to achieve the objectives of the Metropolitan Growth Boundary.

The continuous population growth and the notable development of the mining industry have resulted in challenges for potable water supply in South Africa. The ever-increasing number of people migrating to urban areas has resulted in the demand of potable water supply in South Africa. Water is regarded as a human basic right which is promulgated by the recent amendment of the potable water service provisioning Water Services Act 108 of 1997 and the National Water Act 36 of 1998. The afore-mentioned Acts started a process to address the imbalance that existed during the apartheid regime. (The apartheid regime essentially had one objective initially, namely the control of (black, coloured and Indian) people in order to protect white privilege). It was meant to separate people of different races).The Acts were formulated to address the equal distribution of national resource for all South Africans. Mogwase Township in Moses Kotane Local Municipality is undergoing continuous growth with several mining areas being developed. Consequently, the supply of potable water has been a challenge in the area. It is, therefore, in the interest of the researcher to investigate the management of potable water supply in Mogwase Township with the aim of suggesting improved service delivery by the Moses Kotane Local Municipality. Water is now recognised as a scarce resource that belongs to all South Africans. The provision of potable water by the water services authorities (WSAs) is an important basic service that faces a number of challenges, such as the use of outdated infrastructure, namely: pipelines from the Vaalkop Dam, the lack of skilled and knowledgeable people, improper planning, and the booming population that place overt pressure on the demand for effective and efficient service delivery. This research was undertaken to investigate how Moses Kotane Local Municipality which obtains its potable water supply from Vaalkop Dam can improve the supply of water in a more effective, efficient, equitable, economic and sustainable manner through improved co-operative governance and integrated water resource management (IWRM). The qualitative and quantitative research designs were used to conduct the research, which included a literature review, semi-structured interviews, data sampling and scientific analysis of the responses. The researcher arrived at logical conclusions and S.M.A.R.T. (Simple, Measureable, and Achievable Realistic Timebound) recommendations with regard to all aspects related to the future management of potable water supply in Mogwase Township. / MA (Development and Management), North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2015

Local authorities in South Africa need to compile and implement local economic development plans. These plans are not only required by law as a component of integrated development plans, but also emanate from the pressing needs of many communities for development, job creation, and greater welfare and prosperity. A review of the historical and theoretical background reveals changing approaches and different theories to defend the actions taken. A critique of typical strategies and processes reveals that no one strategy or process can be universally applied, but that these should be adapted to the community's unique circumstances. Shortcomings and appropriate applications are indicated. The management plan presents a process to enable local authorities in partnership with the community to compile a plan for locally generated and directed development. This plan can, but need not, be a component of an integrated development plan and is thus compatible with integrated development planning and the formulation of local development objectives. The plan draws on a number of planning methodologies including urban planning, city marketing, strategic planning and neuro-linguistic programming approaches. Techniques from these and community development methodologies are included to guide the community through the process of creating a vision, analysis, goal setting, plan and strategy formulation, implementation and review. This management plan is designed as a generic process that can be applied to a variety of circumstances. The flexible nature of the process permits innovation and adaptations to local needs and other fields of planning. It also provides scope for further research on theories, methodologies and techniques. / Geography / D.Phil. (Geography)

Across the world, war has been declared against poverty because of its devastating effects on local communities. The world has made a concerted effort to fight the effects of poverty through developmental agencies and regional integration bodies such as the World Bank, International Monetary Fund (IMF), World Trade Organisation (WTO), United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the Southern African Development Community (SADC). In an effort to complement the efforts of the above–mentioned agencies and bodies, the South African government has developed its own poverty alleviation strategies, policies, initiatives and Acts that focus primarily on alleviation of poverty on the level of local government. The Constitution of South Africa, 1996 provides the guidelines to several regulations and Acts (such as the Development and Facilitation Act, 67 of 1995, the Local Government: Municipal Systems Act, 32 of 2000, and the Local Government: Municipal Structures Act, 117 of 1998.) that support the alleviation of poverty on the local sphere of government. The Integrated Development Planning programme was formulated and implemented to alleviate poverty at this level. The purpose of this study was to determine how the level of poverty within the Dr Kenneth Kaunda District Municipality could be alleviated through effective integrated development planning. A quantitative approach was followed because the target population response rate was expected to be large. In addition, the research design for this study included a literature review, analyses of official documents, observation and data sampling through questionnaires and scientific analysis of the responses. The study found that IDP objectives aligned to service delivery targets were unclear and did not depict the aspirations and needs of the community. The programmes aimed at the infrastructure coupled with skills development programmes and job creation initiatives could assist in the alleviation of poverty. / M Development and Management, North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2014
