In general there is seen to be a need for a more systematic approach and a greater use of models or analytical techniques. This thesis briefly reviews transportation studies and planning techniques and then discusses the development and current status of urban development mode1s, classifying them into three viz; (i) descriptive (ii) predictive models, and (iii) prescriptive models or planning models. It is noted that the models form on1y a part of the of the planning process and that they are really sub-models total system. Using a systems analysis approach, a planning framework or system model is then developed which forms the basis for the preparation of a planning strategy, within which detailed development and transport plans can be evolved. The framework is designed to facilitate the use of models as befits their operational status and to highlight areas where judgements and intuition are required. In developing the p1anning system model a discussion is given on forecasting techniques, problems relating to the definition of objectives and criteria, difficu1ties encountered in obtaining community goals and rational public participation, considerations relating to the formulation of plans, techniques of plan eva1uation inc1uding sensitivity analysis and flexibility tests, and implementation strategy. Two case studies are given to illustrate the efficacy of the procedures proposed. The first example related to the preparation of a strategic plan for a city with an expected population of 200,000 people, whereas the second case study concerns the hypothetical choice between two alternative forms of development over the next five years for metropolitan Adelaide. In the final chapter a brief discussion is given on worthwhile research items. / http://proxy.library.adelaide.edu.au/login?url= http://library.adelaide.edu.au/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?BBID=1523138 / Thesis (M.T.P.) -- University of Adelaide, Department of Architecture and Town Planning, 1971

A cultural studies approach is applied to an analysis of land-use planning theory and practice to seek a holistic understanding of events struggling in praxis to construct ideologies and paradigms about the supermarket phenomenon, in a post- Fordist age. This links interests shared and contested by Govemment and key parties as agents of social change, including Sainsbury's as a typification of the supermarket business and the planners' professional body. The thesis challenges positivist assumptions embodying tenets of classical economic theory and rationalist, empirical methodology. It focuses on attempts to achieve ideological hegemony by the re-articulation of common sense explanations through everyday events mediated by late industrial capitalism's commodification process. The nature of the post-modernist dialectic centred on Capital's modernisation project favouring a new service economy is explored in relation to an organic interplay between ideas and action, and the linking of planning theory to reification. The nature of ideological code systems in relation to retail land-use planning, as a feature of culture and their discursive role in an ongoing struggle for power and dominance, is evaluated in the deconstruction of historical and contemporary texts. A new concept of dialectical pluralism is offered which acknowledges the dynamic construction of ideologies and paradigms between parties in everyday relational experience. The methodology offers a wide, topic-based inductive research focus taking the four poles of Government, the planning profession, academia and the business sector at points of apparent harmony and disjuncture, to review the means by which events in time and space are struggled for to establish ideological hegemony. A priority is to compare and contrast assumptions underpinning the training of land-use planners that reward or inhibit vested and less defined interests, including those legitimising and funding professional research projects.

Thesis title: Procedure of application for a planning permission This diploma thesis deals with the planning permission proceedings, which is a proceeding to render the planning permission that is one of all instruments of land-use planning. The aim of this thesis is to cover the planning permission proceedings and to outline problematic aspects that are relevant in legal regulations. Beside relevant legal regulations the author results from literature and jurisdiction above all of the Highest Administrative Court of the Czech Republic. In introduction defines basic terms and subsume the topic into legal context and covers the goals and aims of land-use planning, as well as individual conceptual and realization instruments. In second chapter describes individual types of planning permissions and cases, when they are needed and on the contrary, cases, when it is possible to place projects into land without these planning permissions. Third and the most comprehensive part of the thesis dedicates to the most important institutes of the planning proceedings and analysis actual legal regulation, focusing provisions that can be problematic to apply correctly. Especially deals with the positions of juristic persons as defined in Building act, ways of delivering and proceeding of discussion of civil...

Det mänskliga samhället är beroende av de ekosystemtjänster som naturen förser oss med. Trots det finns det mycket som visar att ekosystemtjänster minskar i mängd och funktion. Det största hotet mot ekosystemtjänsterna är en förändrad markanvändning där naturområden exploateras eller förändras i hög grad. För att uppnå en mer hållbar markanvändning ska ekosystemtjänster integreras i fysisk planering. Den metod som vunnit mest slagkraft i det är värdering av ekosystemtjänster. Ekosystemtjänster kan värderas på fyra olika sätt där den monetära värderingen varit enklast att applicera på nuvarande fysisk planering och därför blivit det mest använda. Det finns dock en problematik med att den monetära värderingen av ekosystemtjänster blivit den mest använda. Problemet existerar i att vissa former av ekosystemtjänster inte går att värdera monetärt. Något som skapar en obalans i vilka ekosystemtjänster som framgångsrikt integreras i den fysiska planeringen. Den här studien har utförts för att undersöka vilken roll den kvalitativa värderingen av ekosystemtjänster kan spela i fysisk planering. För att undersöka det utfördes en fallstudie på orten Grönby i Trelleborgs Kommun. Först utfördes en dokumentanalys för att undersöka hur Trelleborgs kommun arbetat med ekosystemtjänster i styrdokument. Sedan utfördes en go-alongintervjustudie där informanter fick värdera de naturområden och ekosystemtjänster som fanns i närområdet. Rollen som den kvalitativa värderingen av ekosystemtjänster kan bidra med är att den har möjligheten att integrera medborgare i den fysiska planeringen för ekosystemtjänster. Resultatet korrelerade genom det med tidigare studier om att kvalitativ värdering bidrar med andra lager, dimensioner, kunskaper och beskrivningar av känslor som andra värderingar av ekosystemtjänster exkluderar. Det belyste även faktorer som bidrar till värderingen. Några av dem faktorerna var: den visuella upplevelsen, möjligheten till aktiviteter, möten med vilda arter och chansen till återhämtning. / The human society is to a great extent dependent on the ecosystem services that nature provides for us. Despite this, there is a lot of evidence showing that ecosystem services decrease both in amount and in function. The greatest threat to ecosystem services is a changein land use. Where natural areas are being exploited or changed in a large scale. To achieve a more sustainable usage of land, ecosystem services is going to be integrated in the planning of land usage. The best available method for integrating ecosystem services is evaluation of ecosystem services. There are four different methods for evaluating ecosystem services wherethe monetary evaluation has gained the greatest breakthrough. The problem however is that some ecosystem services cannot be evaluated in monetary values. Something that cases an imbalance in which types of ecosystem services that is successfully integrated in the planning of land usage. This study aimed to analyze what role that qualitative evaluation of ecosystem services can fulfill in the planning of land usage. To investigate that, a case study was conducted about the area of Grönby in Trelleborgs municipality. Firstly, an analysis over policy documents from Trelleborgs municipality were analyzed to gain an understanding of the municipality’s work with ecosystem services. A qualitative evaluation of the surrounding ecosystem services was conducted by interviewing local residents in a go-along interview. The role that qualitative evaluation of ecosystem services can provide is that it offers local residents to participate in the planning of land use. The result of the study correlated with former studies that qualitative evaluation of ecosystem services can highlight other types of layers, dimensions, knowledge, and description of emission that other method of evaluation of ecosystem services excludes. In the study there was also some findings about which types of factors that affect the qualitative evaluation of ecosystem services. Some of the factors were: the visual experience, the possibility to participate in activities in the natural areas, the encounter with wildlife and the opportunity for recovery.
